Measuring the Quality and Safety of Upper Endoscopy in Patients Taking Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists
We are writing in response to the recently published article from Yeo et al1 regarding the increased risk of aspiration pneumonia within 1 month of an endoscopic procedure among patients taking glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs).1 These findings support the notion that patients taking GLP-1 RAs should be considered as a high-risk population for perie ndoscopic aspiration risk.

Can the width of lower tongue base preoperative sonography measurements predict hypoxemia during esophagogastroduodenoscopy under sedation in ASA I-II patients?
Conclusionsː The width of the lower tongue base, measured as the DLA by US examination can be used to effectively predict the risk of hypoxemia during EGD under sedation.PMID:38537186 | DOI:10.11152/mu-4326 (Source: Medical Ultrasonography)
