  • The Role of Oral Care in the Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia

Kathleen Stoessel, R.N., B.S.N., M.S. Susan Shoemake, B.A. Objectives • Understand the clinical classifications of pneumonia • Discuss the risk factors of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Describe the path to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Explain the role of the oral environment in the development of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Examine recommended oral care interventions and the evidence-based rationales for these patient care practices Introduction Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) among mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Pneumonia accounts for nearly 15% of all nosocomial infections and 24% to 27% of all those acquired in coronary care units and medical ICUs respectively.1,2 Approximately one quarter of all intubated patients will acquire pneumonia - at a rate of 1 to 3% per day of intubation - prolonging their hospitalization, increasing their risk of death by up to ten-fold, and adding significant costs to

  • Abrasiveness of an Air-Powder Polishing System on Root Surfaces in Vitro
    Abrasiveness of an air-powder polishing system on root surfaces in vitro Mette S. Agger, DDSVPreben Hörsted-Bindslev, DDSTOle Hovgaard, Objective: The purpose oí Ihis study was tc evaluate the abrasiveness of a new air polisher on roof surfaces. Method and materials: Fifty extracted human teeth were air polished for 5 seconds. Results: Ali root surfaces showed a circular defect visible wifh fhe naked eye. Scanning elecfron microscope examination showed smooth crater wails and a few open denfin fubules, but most seemed fc be obliterated. Laser profilomefry of the exposed areas revealed defecfs wifh an average depth of 484 ym, whereas fhe unexposed root surfaces showed irreguiarifies wifh an average depth of 323 gm. The depths of fhe abraded areas were evaluafed in relafion fo the values for the unexposed surfaces, and an average depth of 161 |jm was found.The difference befween the exposed and unexposed surfaces was statisticaliy significanf. Conclusion: The presenf sfudy indicates that the air polisher has a strong abrading effect on exposed roof surfaces and should therefore be used with caution on patients with gingival retractions.

  • Oral Hygiene Instruction
    Oral Hygiene Instruction Oral hygiene instruction is helpful and educational information meant to teach and guide our patients to prevent new cavities, and to maintain healthy teeth and gums. At your initial oral hygiene visit, your hygienist will instruct you on the proper methods of brushing and flossing. Follow up visits will be to further assess your progress in maintaining good oral health, and to help review and reinforce techniques of cleaning at home. The following are helpful recommendations: o Flossing is the foundation for healthy gums, so floss your teeth once a day. Dental floss will get into areas between your teeth and under your gums that your toothbrush cannot. Slide the floss between your teeth and wrap it into a "C" shape around the base of the tooth and gently under the gumline. Wipe the tooth from base to tip two or three times. Be sure to floss both sides of every tooth. o Brush your teeth twice a day, and make sure to brush your teeth after you floss, as this is a more effective method of cleaning your teeth. Use a soft bristled tooth brush (safer on your gums) and a circular motion that moves the brush bristles ‘away’* from the gums ( *on the top arch, this would mean you are brushing in a circular direction which is top-down; on the bottom arch, you would be brushing in a bottom-to-top circular motion. Use care to not speed through brushing, taking at least 2-3 minutes to do a thorough job. o Eat a well-balanced diet, avoiding excessive snacking between meals, especially sticky, sugary foods.
