Popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy could cause complications for patients under anesthesia.
The delayed stomach emptying caused by these drugs is what creates a problem however; patients undergoing anesthesia could still have full stomachs while sedated, even if they followed standard directions to stop eating for a certain number of hours beforehand. The issue of food or liquid in a person's airway is known as aspiration, which can be dangerous or deadly, according to the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
