Summary
This study tests whether covering the intestines with a warm (36°C) saline compress during abdominal surgery can reduce postoperative nausea, vomiting, and help the bowels recover faster. Researchers will compare this to the standard practice of using unheated saline. The study includes 80 adults undergoing abdominal surgery, and will measure things like time to first passing gas and bowel movements.
