Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ginger extract on delayed gastric emptying, developing ventilator-associated pneumonia, and clinical outcomes in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Materials and Methods Thirty-two ARDS patients who were dependent on mechanical ventilation and fed via nasogastric tube were studied After enrolment, patients were randomized to 2 groups The control group received 1 g of coconut oil as placebo and the study group received 120 mg of ginger extract The amount of feeding tolerated at the first 48 hours of feeding, amount of feeding tolerated during the entire study period, nosocomial pneumonia number of intensive care unit (ICU) free days number of ventilator free days, and mortality were evaluated during 21 days of intervention Results There was a significant difference between the ginger group and the control group in the amount of feeding tolerated at the first 48 hours of enteral feeding (51% vs 57% P < 005) There was a trend toward a decrease in pneumonia in the ginger group (P = 07) The overall in-ICU mortality was 15 6%, with no significant difference in the 2 groups The number of ventilator free days and that of ICU-free days were lower in the control group compared with the ginger group (P = 04 and P = 02) Conclusion This study showed that gastric feed supplementation with ginger extract might reduce delayed gastric emptying and help reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in ARDS (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc
