Popular weight loss drugs may require longer Pre-Surgery fasting, new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07140289
Summary
This study aims to understand how GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs (used for weight loss and diabetes) slow stomach emptying in people scheduled for surgery. Researchers will measure stomach contents in 100 patients taking these drugs to determine how long they should fast before anesthesia to reduce the risk of breathing stomach contents into their lungs. The goal is to create specific, evidence-based fasting guidelines to make surgery safer for this growing group of patients.
