Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Adult patients who are receiving Glucagon-like peptide-1 Receptor Agonist medication and scheduled for any elective surgery or procedure under anesthesia.
The patient has provided informed consent for the study
Exclusion
Pregnant patients
Patients with abnormal gastric anatomy like previous gastric resection or bypass( gastric band in situ, previous fundoplication, hiatus hernia
Inability to consent
Emergency surgery
Cognitive impairment (due to the mixed reasons of potential misunderstanding of the aim of the study and inability to provide informed consent, potential inability to provide detailed fasting regimen before the surgery, potential for impaired use of GLP-1 agonists before the surgery)
Terminal illness (due to the effect of chronic illness on the physiologic functions of gastrointestinal tract and gastric emptying)
