Conditions
Keywords
GLP-1, Glucagon like Peptide 1, Aspiration, Gastric empty
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether patients taking GLP-1 RAs have increased residual (left behind), gastric (stomach), contents due to delayed gastric emptying when following standard preoperative fasting guidelines.
Interventions
GLP-1 RAs: Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, this includes patients who are on Liraglutide, Semaglutide, Dulaglutide and Tirzepatide.Tirzepatide which is a combined GLP-1 RA/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist is included as a part of GLP-1 RAs.
A gastric ultrasound following a standard NPO period to determine gastric contents and risk of aspiration during surgery.
