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.

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 checks whether using ultrasound to look at your stomach before a pain-relief procedure helps doctors make better decisions about anesthesia. You'll be screened before your scheduled procedure if you take opioids or have risk factors for stomach complications.
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 study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
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.
