Abstract: This paper study and analyze the effect of oral care before bronchial intubation on the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Take a report of 60 patients (Hospitalization time ≥ 48 hours) with ventilator assisted ventilation who underwent tracheal intubation from January 20 to June 1818 in the Department of Critical Care Medicine as the object of study. According to the order of admission time,30 cases was randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The control group took regular oral care, butthe experimental group used oral care before and after intubation，and used 3% hydrogen peroxide and 5% sodium bicarbonate solution as the care solution. Research results show that the incidence of ventilatorassociated pneumonia, positive rate of sputum culture, oral ulcer and oral odor were lower in the experimental group than in the control group. This paper come to conclusion: the patient can effectively clean the oral cavity before intubation, which can reduce ｏｒ eliminate the internal cavity and bacteria, reducing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and the number of cases of sputum culture and oral ulcers, which is worthy of clinical application.
