Intervention(s)
We propose to administer 15 ml chlorhexidine gluconate or placebo to the buccal, pharangeal, gingival tongue, roof of mouth and tooth surfaces with a sponge swab twice daily to intubated patients who are predicted to require mechanical ventilation. Broncheoalveolar lavage specimen will be sent for culture every 48 h and the following clinical observations will be recorded daily - white cell count, sputum appearance, temperature and chest X-ray changes. The study ends once the patient is extubated but the observations will be recorded for a further 7 days.
