Perioperative management of patients taking GLP-1s: implementation of complex fasting recommendations

Yesterday CPOC published correspondence on the Perioperative management of patients taking glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists: implementation of complex fasting recommendations.

In January 2025, CPOC published a multidisciplinary consensus statement on elective perioperative management of adults taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. CPOC has since published this response to address questions around the implementation of complex fasting recommendations for patients on GLP1s.
