Trial Information
It is known, that patients undergoing major surgery have problems maintaining upright
posture after major surgery. This can be due to fall in bloodpressure, with symptoms like
dizziness, nausea/vomiting and fainting.
With this investigation, we want to prove that anaesthesia is not the decisive factor, in
patients ability to maintain upright posture after surgery.
