Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Patient Safety
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a risk associated with inadequate oral care.
  • The rate of oral care completion among patients undergoing elective cardiovascular surgery (CVS) was previously unassessed.
  • Establishing a baseline for oral care practices is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the baseline rate of oral care completion in patients scheduled for elective CVS.
  • To implement an educational intervention to increase patient self-reported oral care completion.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in improving oral hygiene practices before surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project was conducted.
  • A baseline survey assessed oral care completion rates within 4-6 hours pre-CVS.
  • An intervention group received dental supplies and education; their completion rates were compared to the baseline group.

Main Results:

  • The baseline oral care completion rate was 89%.
  • Following the intervention, 100% of patients reported completing oral care, an 11% point increase.
  • The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher oral care completion.

Conclusions:

  • A cost-effective intervention involving dental supplies and education effectively increased patient oral care completion.
  • This quality improvement initiative enhanced patient self-care and potentially reduced HAP risk.
  • Nursing staff can play a key role in promoting oral hygiene for surgical patients.
