Abstract

The relevance of the study of the problem of organization and implementation of hygienic measures for oral care of patients in intensive care units is associated with the fact that inadequate oral care is one of the conditions for the development of nosocomial infections, in particular, ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Inadequate care can be caused by various reasons, including the lack of clear instructions on the timing and intensity of tooth and tongue brushing, and the use of outdated methods and materials.

We believe that the technology of “Oral Care of the Patient in the ICU” needs to be reviewed in order to bring it up to date.
