Effect of Fasting Recommendations Among Patients Using GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
Sponsor: St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne
Summary
The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to determine the effect of a 24-hour clear liquid diet compared to standard fasting guidelines on the proportion of participants who present with increased residual gastric contents during their study visit. It also aims to determine the effect of a 24-hour clear liquid diet compared to standard fasting guidelines on: * Solid content or thick fluids * Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including thirst, hunger, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety. * Compliance measures, including adherence with the intervention, time since last oral intake of solid foods, and time since last oral intake of clear liquids. We will enrol adults who are currently using any once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medication. Participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to follow a 24-hour clear liquid diet or standard fasting guidelines prior to attending a study visit where participants will undergo a blinded gastric ultrasound assessment.

Interventions
24-hour clear liquid diet
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will be instructed to follow a 24-hour clear liquid diet, defined as NPO for solids and last intake of clear liquids no less than 2 hours prior to the trial visit.
Standard fasting guidelines
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will be instructed to follow the ASA and ANZCA standards for preoperative fasting prior to presenting for their trial visit. This requires participants to only consume clear liquids up to 2 hours, a light or low calorific meal up to 6 hours, and fasting from fried foods, fatty foods, or meat for at least 8 hours prior to the trial visit.
