Stomach recovery time after GLP-1 drugs measured in surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07360262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 186 adults taking GLP-1 RA drugs (like Ozempic) who were scheduled for surgery. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach contents at different times after the last dose. The goal was to find out how long it takes for stomach emptying to return to normal, helping doctors decide when it's safe to stop these drugs before anesthesia.
