Registration Number
NCT06533527
Lead Sponsor
The Cleveland Clinic
Brief Summary

To assess whether holding incretin-based therapy before endoscopy reduces the likelihood of clinically relevant Residual Gastric Volume (RGV).

Primary Outcomes:

* Residual gastric volume that precludes adequate endoscopic examination

* Residual gastric volume that necessitates premature termination of the endoscopy procedure

* Need for endotracheal intubation due to stomach contents.

* Occurrence of aspiration events requiring extended observation/monitoring, unplanned therapeutics, and/or hospital admission

Secondary Outcomes:

* Presence of any solid food

* Presence of moderate liquid content

* Increased RGV(Residual Gastric Volume) defined as any amount of solid content or \> 0.8 mL/Kg of fluid content (measured from the aspiration/suction canister).

* Differences in primary and secondary outcomes between different medications
