Sometimes the answer to a very complex situation lies
in a very simple answer and that is what the nurses at the Tel Aviv University have found. Normally patients who are unconscious are put
on ventilator and it is very common in such individuals to develop lung
infection. This is something that the patients are at serious risk for. It is also reported that about 15% of the patients who develop lung infection can suffer from serious infections, which is a result of a depressed immune system. The way to prevent such a serious infection from happening in the patients who are on ventilator lies in brushing their teeth three times a day. It is unbelievable as to how such a serious condition can be prevented through such an easy measure. Patients on mechanical ventilation are intubated for a long time and the study reported that they can develop pneumonia in a matter of two or three days. The pneumonia can be prevented by in these patients by brushing their teeth three times a day. By doing this, such cases can be prevented by about 50%. There are patients who are benefiting from this approach whereas there are patients who are still getting pneumonia after being on the ventilator. The nurses who have discovered this new amazing approach have said that by learning more from this there can be better ways devised to help the rest of the 50% of patients who suffer from pneumonia after being on the mechanical ventilators.
