Recruiting
This device listens to and records abdominal sounds, which provides data that can help predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is a condition that is defined as the failure of oral re-feeding after abdominal surgery. This happens when any of the following events happen beyond 24-hours after abdominal surgery; vomiting, need to reverse the diet, or need to place a nasogastric (NG) tube.
Male or Female
18 years and over
Inclusion Criteria:
• 18 to 90 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:
• allergy to skin adhesive
• unable to have device applied to the skin on the abdomen
• evidence of infection before surgery, including a deep wound infection or urinary tract infection
• specific types of surgery (study staff will review)
