Stomach Content Study for GLP-1 Users Before Surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older and in generally good health (ASA 1-3).
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery.

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 a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
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 an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called metoclopramide before surgery can help your stomach empty faster in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications. This may reduce the risk of food or liquid staying in your stomach during surgery, which can be dangerous.
This study looks at how a newly started GLP-1 medicine (commonly used for weight loss or diabetes) changes the amount of food left in your stomach and how fast it empties. The goal is to understand these effects better, which may help improve safety and dosing.
