A high VAP rate can be decreased by giving an oral hygiene chlorhexidine intake of 0.2% every 8 hours. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Oral Hygiene Chlorhexidyne 0.2% on Prevention of Associated Pneumonia Ventilator Assessed by Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score at ICU RK Charitas Hospital Palembang Research methodology: Quantitative with Pre experimental method with one group pretest posttest and sample 30 respondents. Results: There was difference in VAP occurrence before and after oral hygiene in patients with assessment using CPIS with p value 0.001. Suggestion: It is expected that CPIS measurements can be included in the treatment protocol in intubated patients and using mechanical ventilation.} }
