Experimental
No Intervention
Panel 1 - High risk for postoperative ileus
Panel 2 - Postoperative ileus arm with investigational device
Panel 3 - Postoperative ileus arm with standard of care
Intervention in patients at high risk to develop prolonged postoperative ileus. Monitoring postoperative gastric motility for 2 consecutive days in patients who require preventive placement of a nasogastric feeding tube due to a high risk to develop postoperative ileus. Allowing to explore associations between gastric motility and general clinical evolution.
Intervention in a population of patients with clinical signs of postoperative ileus, requiring a nasogastric feeding tube for symptom relief. The investigational medical device will be applied. Allowing to explore the association of gastric motility and clinical signs of postoperative ileus in an enriched population with true postoperative ileus.
Standard of care control group of patients with clinical signs of postoperative ileus requiring a standard nasogastric feeding tube for symptom relief. Symptoms will be surveyed as control group to assess safety and tolerability of the investigational medical device.
