Comparison of societal guidance on perioperative management of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists: implications for clinical practice and future investigations.
The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) by patients undergoing surgery and procedures requiring anesthesia has become a topic of significant concern for perioperative providers because of the potential increased risk of aspiration resulting from the medication's effect of delaying gastric emptying. There is currently a lack of high-quality data regarding the safety of GLP-1 RAs in patients undergoing surgery, which has led to variations in practice. ⋯ Society-endorsed statements and guidelines provide varying recommendations on the perioperative management of GLP-1 RAs. The insights gained from this comparative analysis may help guide clinical practice, develop institutional practice guidelines, and direct future research efforts.

Online video sharing platforms like YouTube (Google LLC, San Bruno, CA, USA) have become a substantial source of health information. We sought to conduct a systematic review of studies assessing the overall quality of perioperative anesthesia videos on YouTube. ⋯ Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/ajse9 ); first posted, 1 May 2023.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives within critical care research are limited by a lack of resources and inconsistent and rapidly changing language. The Canadian Critical Care Trials Group (CCCTG) is committed to modelling EDI for the critical care community through its programming, communications, protocols, and policies. The objective of developing the EDI glossary of sociodemographic determinants of health described here was to provide a resource for critical care professionals to support broader equity initiatives and to promote education and awareness about inclusive language. ⋯ This EDI glossary of sociodemographic determinants of health serves as a nonexhaustive resource that may be referenced by critical care researchers, research coordinators, clinicians, and patient and family partners. The glossary is an essential step to raising awareness about inclusive terminology and to fostering and advancing equity in critical care medicine.
