Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Semaglutide delays gastric emptying and increases the risk of aspiration with anesthesia; So, the addition of prokinetics as Itopride, could enhance gastric emptying and hasten surgery.

The investigator will evaluate the effect of Itopride on Semaglutide-induced gastroparesis and residual gastric contents after 8 hours of fasting by gastric ultrasound before anesthesia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Semaglutide delays gastric emptying and increases the risk of aspiration with anesthesia; So, the addition of prokinetics as Itopride could enhance gastric emptying and hastens surgery.

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, is gaining popularity for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity; Semaglutide stimulates insulin excretion and delays gastric emptying.Itopride, a novel prokinetic agent, acts as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor. Itopride shows promise in managing gastroparesis symptoms by accelerating gastric emptying, improving gastric tension and sensitivity, and exerting antiemetic effects.

The investigator designed this prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled study to evaluate the effect of Itopride on Semaglutide induced gastroparesis and residual gastric contents after 8-hours fasting by gastric ultrasound before anesthesia.
