In the article, ASA President Michael W. Champeau, M.D., FAAP, FASA, was quoted regarding the guidance, which advises patients who take GLP-1 agonists daily to skip the medication on the day of surgery, and for patients who take them weekly to hold off a week before elective surgery. “The action was based on anecdotal reports of problems – including aspiration – from around the country,” he said. Elisa Lund, M.D., was also quoted. To date, the AP article has been picked up over 100 times by outlets, including CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, TODAY, The Boston Globe, and Chicago Tribune.
