Ultrasound reveals hidden risks of popular diabetes drugs before surgery
NCT ID NCT06003985
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study used bedside ultrasound to check if the stomach empties normally before surgery in people taking GLP-1 agonist drugs (like Ozempic or Mounjaro) compared to those not taking them. Researchers looked at 354 patients to see if these drugs cause delayed stomach emptying, which could raise the risk of complications during anesthesia. The goal was to improve safety by identifying which patients might have food or liquid still in their stomach despite following fasting instructions.
