Craig Dale: Fundamentals of Oral Care in the Intensive Care Unit

In this talk, I will discuss a paradigm shift in thinking about oral health and care in the intensive care unit (ICU) i.e. what goes wrong and how we should intervene. I will discuss the oral microbiome, dysbiosis, the chlorhexidine controversy, and expert/patient recommendations for the delivery of an oral care bundle including toothbrushing. I will emphasize recent evidence about de-adopting oral chlorhexidine use and implementing an oral care bundle.
