In this episode of the Indian Journal of Anesthesia podcast, Dr. Murali Thondebhavi, Dr. Rakesh Garg, and Dr. Hari Kalagara discuss the transformative role of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in perioperative care, particularly in the context of GLP-1 receptor agonists and their implications for anesthesia practice. They explore the impact of COVID-19 on the adoption of POCUS, the importance of gastric ultrasound in assessing aspiration risk, and the evolving guidelines surrounding fasting protocols for patients on GLP-1 medications. The conversation also highlights the need for further research and standardization in the use of gastric ultrasound in clinical practice, as well as the potential role of prokinetic agents in managing gastric emptying.
