This trial tests a new approach to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It compares usual care to a structured plan that matches anti-nausea medicines to your personal risk factors.
This study compares recovery without a nasogastric tube (a tube through your nose to the stomach) after minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. It may help you avoid discomfort and recover faster, but your doctor will first confirm you are a good candidate and that the surgery is expected to remove all cancer.
This study tests whether delivering lidocaine (a numbing medication) through a feeding tube during weight-loss surgery can reduce nausea and vomiting afterward. You would receive this medication as part of the surgery procedure to see if it helps you feel better in recovery.
This trial tests whether placing a thin feeding tube through the nose into the stomach helps reduce complications in patients with small bowel obstruction (a blockage in the small intestines). Researchers want to see if this tube improves outcomes and reduces symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
This trial tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help patients avoid needing a nasogastric tube after major abdominal surgery, specifically if they develop a slowdown in bowel function called postoperative ileus.
This study looks at whether different placement locations for a stomach (gastric) tube can lower the risk of pneumonia in people on a breathing machine. It’s aimed at patients expected to need ventilation for more than 48 hours.
