NCT ID NCT06814080

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic) still have food or liquid in their stomachs after following standard fasting rules before surgery. Having a full stomach raises the risk of choking during anesthesia. Researchers will use ultrasound to check the stomachs of 45 adults having elective surgery. The goal is to find out how common this problem is and help make surgery safer for GLP-1 users.
