oral care.

system" or add a second canister, Q'Care's
convenient Y-Connector provides a dedicated line for
oral cleansing and suctioning.
Suction Handle provides variable suction control and allows
quick tool changes.
Suction
Toothbrush helps remove dental plaque, debris and oral
secretions. Suction Swab helps remove debris and secretions
between brushings. Both mechanically clean and refresh
with sodium bicarbonate, while stimulating oral tissue.
Soft-tipped Covered Yankauer helps remove debris and
secretions. Also addresses infection control
issues of storing a reusable yankauer between
uses.When closed, the sleeve helps contain oral
secretions and protect the yankauer from
environmental debris.
Soft, flexible Oropharyngeal Suction Catheter helps
remove secretions from the oropharyngeal area above
vocal cords.
No-mix
"burst tubes" moisten tools right in the package.
Mouth
Moisturizer soothes and moisturizes lips and oral tissue
with vitamin E and coconut oil.
Removable Bedside Bracket helps increase compliance
to protocol! Mounts to any wall for convenient,
point-of-use access.
Importance of
Moisturizing
Current research and literature were reviewed to identify
recommendations for comprehensive oral care on ventilated
patients. The following best practices were
identified....Application of a water-based mouth moisturizer
should be used to maintain the integrity of the oral
mucosa."+
Three VAP Risk
Factors • Bacterial colonization
of the oropharyngeal
area
• Aspiration of
subglottic secretions*
• Colonization of
dental plaque
with/ respiratory
pathogens
Costly Consequences
Mechanical ventilation increases pneumonia risk 6 to 21
times.4 Meanwhile, a 9,080-patient study found that the
average VAP patient spends 9.6 additional days on mechanical
ventilation, 6.1 extra days in the ICU, 11.5 more days in
the hospital, and requires over $40,000 (US) more to treat.
