The story so far- SDD reduces mortality in the critically ill when oral agents are combined with IV antibiotics (and markedly reduces VAP) bmj.com/content/348/bm… @suddicu @CHORAL_Study @georgeinstitute @CCCTG_ @ANZICS_CTG @UKCCRGroup
The Sunnybrook Critical Care Unit is prioritizing oral health during mechanical ventilation. That’s something to smile about! @Sunnybrook @BrianCuthberts8 @lisa_burry @efan75 @AndreAmaral_YYZ @SMHcriticalcare @orlasmith51 @gmaern @damon_scales @Vicvovie
With SuDDICU now in its 10th year as a study we thought it would be nice to share the story for far! SuDDICU was founded in 2008 as a multi-national project since conception jointly ran between the UK (@UKCCRGroup), Australia and New Zealand (@ANZICS_CTG) and Canada (@CCCTG_).
