A complete line of oral care solutions designed by nurses, for nurses
For ventilator-dependent patients,<br />
oral care is critical care<br />
The importance of oral care in the critical care<br />
environment is well-documented. 4<br />
63% of patients admitted to an ICU have oral colonization with<br />
pathogens associated with <strong>VAP</strong>. 5<br />
The absence of adequate salivary flow in intubated ICU patients<br />
causes severe xerostomia (dry mouth), which may contribute to<br />
the development of mucositis (oral tissue inflammation) and<br />
oropharyngeal colonization with gram negative bacteria. 6<br />
If an intubated patient does not receive effective and comprehensive<br />
oral hygiene, bacterial plaque develops on teeth within 48 hours. 7<br />
As dental plaque increases, so does the risk of pneumonia. 9<br />
Without comprehensive oral care, dental plaque forms, increasing the risk of <strong>VAP</strong>. 8<br />
Comprehensive oral hygiene has consistently been<br />
recognized as critical to preventing HAP and <strong>VAP</strong> by<br />
such leading organizations as:<br />
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2<br />
Association for Professionals in<br />
Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) 10<br />
American Association of Critical <strong>Care</strong> Nurses (AACN) 11<br />

<strong>VAP</strong> is a major clinical concern...<br />
... associated with high incidence rates, mortality and costs. 1<br />
It’s worth taking measures to prevent even one case of <strong>VAP</strong>.<br />
<strong>VAP</strong> may account for up to 60% of all deaths<br />
due to Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI). 2<br />
Approximately 8% to 28% of critical care patients develop <strong>VAP</strong>. 3<br />
Hospital-associated pneumonia patients have a<br />
mortality rate of 20% to 33%. 2<br />
<strong>VAP</strong> increases patient time in the ICU by 4 to 6 days. 2<br />
Each incidence of <strong>VAP</strong> is estimated to generate<br />
an increased cost of $40,000. 2<br />
