NCT07100691
This is a multicentre, investigator-blinded, randomised controlled trial evaluating whether the use of oral metoclopramide before surgery can reduce the amount of residual gastric content in patients who are taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for weight loss. These medications are known to slow down gastric emptying, which may increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia. Patients will be randomly assigned to either receive metoclopramide 24 hours before surgery or continue with standard care. The primary outcome will be the presence or absence of residual gastric content on ultrasound before surgery. Secondary outcomes include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and any adverse effects of the medication.
NCT01798342
Carbohydrates (CHO)-based drinks 2h before the induction of anesthesia are recommended to decrease insulin resistance. The addition of glutamine (GLN) in these beverages may enhance the benefits of CHO alone. However, only a few studies tested the safety of this formula. The objective of this study was to evaluate the gastric residual volume (GRV) after the intake of a beverage containing CHO plus GLN using magnetic resonance (MRI).
