180 In a prospective cross-sectional study conducted by Sen et al 181 involving 124 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, gastric ultrasound revealed retained gastric contents in 35 of 62 patients receiving GLP-1RAs therapy versus 12 of 62 controls, despite adherence to the current fasting guidelines in both cohorts
