CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that oral decontamination is associated with a lower risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia in mechanically ventilated adults, but not reduced mortality or shorter duration of ventilation or length of stay in intensive care. The authors are right, however, to suggest a cautious interpretation of their results given the presence of significant variation between the studies.
