Abstract
Objective To explore the oral care effects of tooth-brushing with 0.05% iodophor and oral cotton scrubbing with 0.05% iodophor for the patients with orotracheal intubation. Methods 86 patients with orotracheal intubation were randomly divided into cotton scrubbing group(control group,42 cases)and toothbrushing group(experimental group,44 cases). Oral PH values,the incidence of fetor otis and stomatitis 10min and 4 hours after care were compared. Results In the control group,oral PH value of 66.6% patients maintained 6.6 ～7.1 10min after care and the proportion was 40. 4% after 4 hours; the incidence of fetor oris and stomatitis were 42.8% and 38.0% respectively. In the experimental group,oral PH value of 86.3% patients maintained 6.6 ～ 7.1 10min after care and 77.2% after 4 hours; the incidence of fetor oris and stomatitis were 22.7% and 13.6% respectively. The differences of all the four indicators between the two groups has reached statistical significance(P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions The oral care effects of tooth-brushing with 0.05% iodophor were much better than oral cotton scrubbing with 0.05% iodophor for the patients with orotracheal intubation.
