Effect of Prolonged Fasting Time on Gastric Residual Volume in Patients Taking GLP1 Receptor Agonists
Mayo Clinic
Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether a modified fasting protocol can reduce the potential risk of aspiration for patients currently prescribed GLP1-RAs.
Description
The overall objective of this project is to identify a reasonable means by which patients on GLP1-RAs can be safely cared for in the perioperative period that can be agreed upon by all groups involved in perioperative patient care. This will be assessed in patients undergoing upper endoscopy specifically since assessment of gastric contents would be minimally invasive for this patient population receiving anesthetic care.
