One of the causes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the aspiration of fluid-containing pathogenic bacteria into the lower respiratory tract. The purpose of this study was to determine whether oral povidone-iodine (PV-I) application reduces bacterial counts in the fluid on the cuff of an endotracheal intubation tube. Patients intubated and managed with tracheostomy for oral cancer surgery were divided into two groups.
