AI simplified

Abstract

Patients without risk factors may continue GLP-1RA therapy during elective pain procedures.

  • Periprocedural management should include a complete risk assessment.
  • Shared decision-making is recommended among the patient, prescribing care team, physician, and anesthesia personnel.
  • The necessity of conscious sedation should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, as it may not be needed in most scenarios.
