Residual Gastric Content and GLP-1

Plain-language summary

Studies have shown that even following the fasting guideline, patients on GLP-1 still have residual gastric content which increases their risk of aspiration during anesthesia. We aim to investigate the prevalence of full stomachs following different fasting times.
