Pause the Shot

The anesthesiologist's new question — are you on a GLP-1? — exists because these drugs keep stomachs full long past standard fasting, and the writers here learned the protocols from both sides of the discovery.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts navigate surgery on incretin therapy: the pause-the-shot instructions that vary by clinic and change with guidance, procedures postponed when nobody had asked in time, the anesthesia teams who ultrasounded stomachs to check, aspiration close-calls that made the rules real, and the metabolic wobble of stopping and restarting around an operation. Writers include perioperative nurses and anesthesiologists narrating the adjustment from the other side of the drape.

Who it's for

For anyone on a GLP-1 with a procedure ahead, coordinating pause timing with their teams, or understanding why the fasting rules grew teeth.
