NCT ID NCT06292065
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study used bedside ultrasound to see if people taking semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) have more food or liquid in their stomachs before surgery, despite fasting. Researchers compared 88 adults on semaglutide to those not taking it. The goal was to help anesthesiologists decide if it's safe to proceed with anesthesia or if changes are needed.
