Higiene bucal: prática relevante na prevenção de pneumonia hospitalar em pacientes em estado crítico

The studies analyzed were in favor of the use of antiseptics for decontaminating the oral cavity and pharynx, although there is still no standardization of procedures on the technique and products used in this process. Keywords: Oral hygiene; Pneumonia, ventilator-associated/prevention & control;… Show more

“…When asked in the category knowledge about the relationship of tools / materials existing in the sector that should be used in the oral health care, more than 30% of professionals in both categories found that the use materials such as dental floss, toothbrush and toothpaste is not important. Although more than 70% of professionals have knowledge about diseases such as caries, gingivitis, periodontal disease, furred tongue, among others might interfere with the patient's systemic condition [14,16,21,22], they are unaware that primary prevention by the mechanical method must be made, even in the hospital environment according to the patient's physical condition due to its simplicity and proven efficiency through the use of dental floss, toothbrush and toothpaste [11,21].…”

“…Ou seja, não associam a não realização da HO com as complicações sistêmicas, como por exemplo, a pneumonia nosocomial, a endocardite e, ainda, a sepses. O cuidado com a saúde bucal vai além do conforto (14) e, devem ser adotadas técnicas e produtos que vão exigir do enfermeiro conhecimento teórico e prático, o qual deverá ser compartilhado com toda equipe de importância associada também à prevenção de infecção. Os enfermeiros devem elaborar protocolos que possam ser exequíveis e promoverem treinamentos para as demais categorias de enfermagem.…”
