Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of neutral electrolytic water for oral care in patients on artificial ventilation. We conducted a study of oral care in 14 patients with orotracheal tubes in place for artificial ventilation. Plaque control was carried out on all patients, who were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Patients in Group A were given oral care every 6 hours with electrolytic hydrogen on the first day and Isodine Gargle on the second day. Patients in Group B were treated as those in Group A, with the order reversed. There were no significant differences in the types and amount of bacteria detected 6 hours after oral care between Groups A and B. The total amount of mildly pathogenic indigenous bacterial flora (total of 4 measurements) was 4.82 (±3.63) after electrolytic hydrogen and 6.21 (±4.19) after Isodine Gargle. No significant difference was found. The total amount of bacteria that can lead to pneumonia (total of 4 measurements) was 5.76 (±4.69) after electrolytic hydrogen and 5.55 (±5.19) after Isodine Gargle. No significant difference was found. The above results show that the effect of electrolytic hydrogen is equivalent to that of Isodine Gargle, suggesting that it is feasible to use for the oral care of patients on artificial ventilation.
