The efficacy of the electrolyzed oxidizing water in the oral irrigation of patients with oral trachea can-nula

Abstract

Objective To study the efficacy of the electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) in the oral irrigation of patients with oral trachea cannula. Methods 60 patients with oral trachea cannula were ran-domly divided into the experimental group and the control group, the experimental group received oral irri-gation with EOW,while the control group used normal saline. The oral irrigation efficacy was compared be-tween the two groups. Results In the experimental group,the bacterial clearance rate was 95.21% ,while the control one's was 37.19%, the stomatodysodia rate of the experimental group was 3.33%, the control one's was 86.60%, the oral fungus infection rate of the experimental group was 0% , the control one's was 43.33%, the incidence of dental ulcer of the experimental group was 10.00%, the control one's was 3.33%. Significant difference existed in bacterial clearance rate and the stomatedysodia rate between the two groups. Conclusions Oral irrigation with EOW in oral trachea cannula patients can decrease or con-trol the field planting of bacterium in pharynx oralis and stomatodysodia, and prevent pulmonary infection.
