摘要
目的探讨口腔擦洗结合牙龈按摩预防脑卒中患者肺部感染及去除口腔异味的作用。方法将200例脑卒中患者随机分为两组各100例。对照组使用湿棉球行常规口腔护理,观察组使用湿纱布擦洗并给予牙龈按摩。结果观察组肺部感染率及1级以上口腔异味发生率显著低于对照组(P<0.05,P<0.01)。结论口腔擦洗结合牙龈按摩可以减少脑卒中患者肺部感染和口腔异味的发生率。
Objective To investigate the effect of cleansing the oral cavity with a wet piece of gauze and massaging the gum on inci- dences of pulmonary infection and bad breath in stroke patients. Methods Totally, 200 stroke patients were randomized into 2 groups of 100 cases each. The control group were given conventional oral care with cotton balls, while the observation group were given teeth rubbing with wet gauze and gum massaging. Results The incidence rate of pulmonary infection and proportion of those having grade 2 and more severe halitosis were statistically lower in the observation group than in the control group （P^0.05 ,P~ 0.01）. Conclusion The practice of cleansing the oral cavity with a wet piece of gauze and massaging the gum helps reduce incidence rate of pulmonary infection and get rid of bad breath in stroke patients.
