Ultrasound test on the stomach before surgery in patients taking GLP-1 drugs
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults (18 years or older) taking a GLP-1 medication for diabetes or weight loss
- Undergoing scheduled (planned) surgery
- Classified as ASA I, II, or III (healthy or mild-to-severe systemic disease)
- No history of stomach or esophagus problems or past abdominal surgery
- Cannot have a hiatal hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

This study compares using an ultrasound before a gastroscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your stomach) with the usual method of suctioning stomach contents. It aims to see if ultrasound can predict what is in the stomach, which may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
This trial studies using an ultrasound scan of the stomach before general anesthesia in children having planned (elective) surgery. The goal is to better understand stomach fullness and improve safety around anesthesia.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans of the stomach before surgery help keep children safe during anesthesia. Researchers will measure how full the stomach is to make sure children are ready for surgery.
