Article Synopsis
- Oral chlorhexidine has been commonly used to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critical care, but studies show mixed results regarding its effectiveness.
- This study conducted a network meta-analysis focusing on adult ICU patients using various concentrations of chlorhexidine for oral hygiene against controls to evaluate its impact on VAP rates and other health outcomes.
- The findings revealed that chlorhexidine did not significantly reduce VAP, mortality, or length of stay in the ICU, suggesting it should not be routinely used for this purpose.
Exclusion of mutations in TGIF, ALX3, and ALX4 genes in patients with the syndrome of frontonasal dysgenesis, callosal agenesis, basal encephalocele, and eye anomalies.
