Abstract
The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be associated with postoperative complications in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
- GLP-1 RAs are known to delay gastric emptying.
- Concerns have been raised regarding the risk of perioperative aspiration.
- This target trial emulation evaluates the potential link between GLP-1 RA use and postoperative pulmonary and gastrointestinal adverse events.
