Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation of performance of oral hygiene management system-â??VAP careâ?? to prevent bacterial colonization in lower respiratory tract and micro aspiration of secretions and in mechanically ventilated patients as quantified by LUS score.Timepoint: One week—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine performance variables: Volume of secretions collected in the containers. 2. To determine the safety variables: Tissue injury (abrasion or laceration), adverse events like accidental extubation, kinking/blocking of the tube, machine malfunctioning. 3. To determine clinical outcome variables: Lung ultrasound and chest Xray changes, culture on 3rd day or any previous cultures if sent, BAL on 7th day. Timepoint: 7 days—
