What Causes Nausea And Vomiting After CABG Surgery?
My mom (62 yr old) is 3 weeks post cabg surgery. She is still experiencing nausea and vomiting as soon as she stops the Zofran. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to do? Is this normal? What could be the cause? She is on all the usual medicine plus she s diabetic. She has been taking Nexium, which I thought would help, but doesn t seem to be controlling the nausea and vomiting bile. Thanks...

your patient is diabetic and underwent CABG recently.in this condition 2 or 3 possible causes would be
1-local git cause stress ulcer or small intestine disease like obstruction because of prolong immobilisation.
2 diabetic ketoacidosis.it is common after stressful condition like surgery ,infection etc.
so please check blood sugar and urine ketone and consult your physician.
