For patients who are long-term bedridden or have impaired swallowing function, oral care is a critical element in preventing aspiration pneumonia. Due to reduced ability for self-cleaning, oral bacteria can easily overgrow and be accidentally inhaled into the lungs with saliva. Professional care recommends thorough cleaning at least twice daily, and careful selection of oral hygiene products is essential:

1. PVP: Mouthwash containing this ingredient provides a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect, effectively reducing oral pathogens and biofilm, making it especially suitable for patients at high risk of infection.
2. Sodium Bicarbonate: Oral care products containing this ingredient can quickly neutralize the acidic environment in the mouth, break down viscous phlegm and food debris, and effectively eliminate odors, keeping the mouth clean and comfortable.

When performing care, such as with Hi-MUPRO Oral PVP Moisturizer, the correct positioning (side-lying or head elevation) should be adopted to prevent aspiration. When rinsing is not possible, the mouth can be cleaned twice daily by wiping with cotton swabs. These professional techniques and products can significantly enhance the oral health of bedridden patients, reduce the risk of infection, and are a vital part of improving their quality of life.
