GLP_1 RA Ultrasound Study

Assessment of Gastric Contents in Patients Taking Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: a Prospective Observational Cross-sectional Study

The purpose of the study is to determine whether patients taking GLP-1 RAs have increased residual (left behind), gastric (stomach), contents due to delayed gastric emptying when following standard preoperative fasting guidelines.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
GLP-1
Individuals currently taking glucagon like peptide receptors who have a surgery scheduled with Cincinnati Children's Hospital same day surgery endocrinology clinic and will receive a point of care gastric ultrasound.
GLP-1 RAs: Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, this includes patients who are on Liraglutide, Semaglutide, Dulaglutide and Tirzepatide.Tirzepatide which is a combined GLP-1 RA/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist is included as a part of GLP-1 RAs.
A gastric ultrasound following a standard NPO period to determine gastric contents and risk of aspiration during surgery.
Other Names:
  • POGUS
Control
Individuals not taking GLP-1 who have a surgery scheduled with Cincinnati Children's Hospital same day surgery or endocrinology clinic and will receive a point of care gastric ultrasound.
A gastric ultrasound following a standard NPO period to determine gastric contents and risk of aspiration during surgery.
Other Names:
  • POGUS
