Summary

This study looked at whether people taking semaglutide (a GLP-1 drug for diabetes or weight loss) have more food or liquid left in their stomach before surgery, even after following fasting rules. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach contents in 94 patients. The goal was to gather data to help create safer anesthesia guidelines and reduce the risk of aspiration (stomach contents entering the lungs).
