Summary
This study tested whether naloxegol, a drug used for constipation caused by painkillers, can help people who had heart surgery recover normal bowel function faster. About 305 adults participated. The goal was to see if taking naloxegol around the time of surgery reduces the time it takes for the bowels to start working again.
