An exponentially rising number of patients are on GLP-1 agonists. While these meds offer great benefits, they also have significant potential adverse side effects, including an increased risk for aspiration during procedural sedation. Data and information about these meds are rapidly evolving, making proper perioperative management challenging. The recent publication of "Multisociety clinical practice guidance for the safe use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the perioperative period" offers important guidance for perioperativists. Join us for a summary of the guideline and Q&A session with the lead author of the guideline, Dr. Tammy Kindel.
Tammy Kindel is an Associate Professor of Surgery, Director of the Bariatric Surgery Program of Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), and Vice Chief of Surgical Research in the Department of Surgery at MCW. She is the lead author of the recently published guideline, "Multisociety clinical practice guidance for the safe use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the perioperative period".
