Semaglutide helps in curbing appetite by slowing gastric emptying and sending signals to the brain that promote a feeling of fullness, making it easier to adhere to a healthy diet
Slows gastric emptying, helping you feel full longer after meals
Research shows that artificially activating these receptors inhibits food intake, even when the stomach is empty
Anaesthetic management strategies may include: Point-of-care gastric ultrasound to assess stomach contents before proceeding with anaesthesia Use of rapid sequence induction techniques with cricoid pressure to minimise aspiration risk Clear-fluid diet for 24 hours before surgery in higher-risk patients Consideration of regional or local anaesthesia alternatives when appropriate In some cases, postponement of elective surgery if significant gastric contents are identified There is no evidence that GLP-1 medications affect the efficacy of anaesthetic drugs, alter consciousness levels, or interfere with post-operative recovery in ways unrelated to aspiration risk
