Randomized controlled trials are underway, regulatory decisions lie ahead, and real-world data will continue to accumulate
[1] [3] Other considerations during the perioperative period may include: Potential for nausea and vomiting Challenges with airway management if emergency intubation is required Effects on post-operative recovery and nutrition Changes in blood glucose control Anaesthetists may modify their approach based on individual risk assessment, potentially including techniques to reduce aspiration risk or additional monitoring
[4] [6] The mechanism of action involves several complementary pathways
For Future Research Additional studies assessing the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on gastric emptying and their potential impact on fasting prior to endoscopic procedures are sorely needed
Advancements In GLP-1 Agonist Therapies For Diabetes And Weight Management GLP-1 agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists mimic naturally occurring incretin hormones to slow gastric emptying, increase the feeling of fullness, promote insulin secretion, and inhibit the inappropriate release of glucagon
