RESPONSES/COMMENTS (CLINICAL)
From: Rod Tomczak, DPM, MD, EdD
Regarding Dr. Gurnick's note about gastric regurgitation and Ozempic during surgery, it would be nice if references were included. Is there one case or 50 cases? Is the author absolutely sure the patient(s) was (were) fasting from midnight? Would it be more cost-effective to have the patient fast 12 hours rather than routinely perform an ultrasound?
