Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two different frequencies of oral care on premature infants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for premature infants with a birth weight under 1500 grams and gestational age less than 32 weeks. Their mothers must be English-speaking adults over 18 years old. Infants with facial, lung, or gastrointestinal anomalies or those not expected to survive are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how often standardized oral care should be given to very low birth weight infants to prevent infections like pneumonia. It compares the effects of providing this care every 3-4 hours versus every 12 hours on their respiratory health outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive oral care, there are minimal anticipated side effects directly from the procedure itself; however, monitoring will assess any potential indirect impacts on infant health.
