Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral topic silver nanoparticles are effective to reduce potential pathogen microbial loads in mechanical ventilation patients.

Conditions

  • Critical Illness

Interventions

OTHER

silver nanoparticles

Allocation was randomized. Evaluate the effectiveness of silver nanoparticles incorporated into an innocuous gel and dished in oral mucosa surface to then compare with another innocuous gel without silver nanoparticles to reduce microbial colony forming units of pathogenic potential.

OTHER

placebo

Compare with another innocuous gel without silver nanoparticles to reduce microbial colony forming units of pathogenic potential using the same procedure to dished the gel.
