Totally agree regarding docusate. I start bowel regimen (typically senna) on admission. Like pain, much easier to get ahead of than to fix when out of control. Escalate as needed. BM at least every 3 days.

Not anesthesia but all my attendings are. We typically reverse prior to extubation in cases like you mention.
