Summary
This study tests whether an anti-bloating patch can reduce stomach swelling after heart surgery. Stomach bloating is common after cardiac procedures and can slow recovery. The trial will compare standard care alone to standard care plus the patch in 150 adults undergoing elective heart surgery. Researchers will measure stomach gas on chest X-rays and track how quickly patients pass gas, have bowel movements, and leave the hospital.
