Use of SGLT-2 inhibitor medications in the 48 hours prior to emergency surgery was not associated with elevated risk of postoperative diabetic ketoacidosis. https://t.co/uAtsrtF89p @aadixit

New research by @avidan_michael in @JAMA_current shows that higher doses of general anesthesia do not heighten the risk of post-op delirium in older adults. This dispels myths about anesthesia's neurotoxicity & advocates for safer surgical approaches: https://t.co/0LEt285tTE

Thanks @HealioPulm @GoHealio for highlighting our work on GLP-1 receptor agonists and postoperative complications!

"Canceled surgeries are sometimes never rescheduled." -- @aadixit, of @stanfordanes, questioning the clinical utility of pausing GLP-1 agonists before #surgery.

Preoperative use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients undergoing emergency surgery was not associated with a higher risk of postoperative respiratory complications vs those not taking GLP-1 receptor agonists. https://t.co/uZY9hB8LLX

@JackJeng @EricTopol @JAMA_current @stanfordanes Hi @JackJeng! Absolutely. These data suggest -- assuming anesthesiologists are generally using RSI in these emergency situations -- that RSI may be a sufficient risk mitigation strategy.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Owing to concerns for aspiration and delayed gastric emptying, GLP-1 drugs are recommended to be withheld before surgery. New data suggest this may not be necessary

@Health_Affairs Thank you @Health_Affairs for your support in getting this article out! Excited to work on tackling these issues!

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, @aadixit, @PoojaLagisetty, + @DrSeanMackey from @stanfordanes, @UMich, + @StanfordPain discuss the need for the research + clinical communities to understand medication-managed opioid use disorder as a chronic condition. https://t.co/dYRoGq0T9n

[Anjali Dixit, MD, MPH @aadixit]

End-stage poverty as a construct is so powerful. Implies that there's a trajectory + points where we can intervene (if we choose to as a society) -- just like ESRD, ESLD -- and encapsulates the far-reaching health consequences of poverty. TY @lindsayryanmd https://t.co/w10cwe6jcX
