First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looks at 100 fasting surgical patients who take semaglutide (a diabetes/weight-loss drug). Doctors will use a bedside ultrasound to check if their stomachs are truly empty before surgery, even after fasting. The goal is to find out how often a 'full stomach' happens and create safer anesthesia guidelines.
