Abstract
The perioperative management of patients using glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists remains a topic of debate. While several multisociety statements have been published recently, the recommendations vary significantly in terms of medication management and preoperative fasting protocols for these patients. The multidisciplinary consensus statement led by the Society for Perioperative Assessment and Quality Improvement (SPAQI) provides updated recommendations based on a modified Delphi process and supported by a systematic review of the current literature. The recommendations address management of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists perioperatively, and preoperative fasting times for both solids and liquids.
