Live Webinar: Oral Hygiene as Prevention: Discovering the Links Between Oral Health, Respiratory Infection, and Sepsis

June 22, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

  • « Live Webinar: AIM to Improve: The Importance of Patient Safety Bundles for Treating Sepsis in Obstetrical Care
  • Sponsored Webinar: Risk Stratification of Patients with Suspected Meningitis and/or Respiratory Infections in the ED »

Date: June 22, 2022

Time: 11am – 12pm PT / 2pm – 3pm ET

Description: 

Poor oral hygiene is directly linked both to respiratory infections, like non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP), and to sepsis, for which NVHAP is the most common pathway in acute care settings. Because NVHAP is associated with high ICU utilization rates, increased use of antibiotics, high readmission rates, and death, and because 50-80% of NVHAP cases result from oral infections, it is important for healthcare providers to understand the close interrelationship between oral health and serious infectious complications. This is especially vital in acute care settings, where patients admitted may already have depressed immune systems, making them more prone to secondary infections including those caused by bacteria that grow in the oral cavity and actively travel to the lungs.

In this live webinar, attendees will review the relationships between oral health, systemic health, respiratory infection, and sepsis, and will discuss the role of oral care as a key preventative measure for complications like NVHAP and bacterial sepsis.
