Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mucoadhesive form from Carbomer and HydroxyPropylCellulose containing commercial Chlorhexidine 0.2% for prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients.
Design
64 patients will be included in this randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel, double-blind, randomized groups. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. In this study, patients are not aware of the treatment group due to the decreased level of consciousness. The researcher who studies the variables, does not know the group of study and mouth wash is prepared by another person. This study is third phase of clinical trial.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted on patients underwent mechanical ventilation in ICU units of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Intubated patients; Age between 20 to 50 years; Admission less than 24 hours in intensive care unit Non-inclusion criteria: Contraindications to any cause to enteral feeding; Pneumonia
Intervention groups
Intervention group:The mucoadhesive mouthwash group will receive 5 ml chlorhexidine 0.2% three times per day which will be produced in mucoadhesive form from Carbomer and HydroxyPropylCellolose containing commercial chlorhexidine 0.2% solution as mouthwash. Control group: The control group will receive 5 ml chlorhexidine 0.2% three times per day. .
Main outcome variables
concentration of polymer in volume ؛the amount of loading of Cholorhexidine in gel؛ the amount of release of Cholorhexidine in gel; ventilator associated pneumonia
