NCT ID NCT06500143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether GLP-1 medications (used for diabetes and weight loss) increase the risk of having food or liquid in the stomach before surgery, even after the recommended fasting period. Researchers used a quick ultrasound to check stomach contents in 94 adults scheduled for elective surgery. The goal was to see if these drugs might make fasting less effective, potentially raising safety concerns.
