GLP-1 drugs and stomach emptying before surgery
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult taking a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar).
- You have a scheduled surgery or procedure that requires anesthesia.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your stomach has not been surgically altered (for example, no gastric bypass, band, or fundoplication).
- You can understand the study and give your consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
