First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether naloxegol, a drug used for opioid-induced constipation, can shorten the time it takes for bowel function to return after heart surgery. 305 adults undergoing cardiac surgery with a heart-lung machine were randomly assigned to receive naloxegol or a placebo. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce postoperative ileus (temporary bowel paralysis) and related complications.
