Mga Gamot na GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy) at ang Iyong Operasyon Impormasyon
Ano ang gamot na ito
Ang mga GLP-1 receptor agonists ay isang uri ng gamot na nangangailangan ng reseta. Maaari mong kilala ang mga ito sa mga pangalan ng brand tulad ng Ozempic o Wegovy. Maaaring tumukoy ang iyong surgeon sa mga ito bilang GLP-1s. Ang mga gamot na ito ay pangunahing ginagamit upang matulungan ang pamamahala ng type 2 diabetes at suportahan ang pagbaba ng timbang sa mga pasyenteng may obesity.
Kapag kumain ka ng gamot na ito, ito ay nagmimimita ng isang likas na hormone sa iyong katawan. Ang hormone na ito ay tumutulong sa pag-regulate ng iyong antas ng blood sugar. Ito rin ay nagpapadala ng mga signal sa iyong utak na puno ka na. Binabawasan nito ang iyong gutom at tumutulong upang kumain ka nang mas kaunti.
Ang gamot ay pinababagal din kung gaano kabilis ang pag-empty ng iyong tiyan. Ibig sabihin, mas matagal nananatili ang pagkain sa iyong tiyan. Maaaring maramdaman mong puno ka nang mas matagal pagkatapos kumain. Ang mabagal na digestion na ito ay isang mahahalagang bahagi ng paraan kung paano gumagana ang gamot.
Ang mga gamot na ito ay nagiging mas karaniwan sa orthopaedic surgery. Maraming pasyente na nasa GLP-1s ang dumadaan sa mga prosedura tulad ng joint replacement o spine surgery. Kailangang maunawaan ng iyong surgical team kung paano nakakaapekto ang gamot na ito sa iyong katawan sa panahon ng perioperative period. Kasama nito ang panahon bago at pagkatapos ng iyong operasyon.
Ang mga research ay nagpapakita na ang mga gamot na ito ay maaaring maging pangakong kasangkapan para sa preoperative weight loss. Ang pagbaba ng timbang bago ang surgery ay maaaring mapabuti ang mga resulta. Gayunpaman, ang mga epekto sa kalusugan ng buto at surgical risks ay patuloy na pinag-aaralan. Ang kasalukuyang data ay nagmumungkahi na ang paggamit ng mga gamot na ito sa paligid ng panahon ng surgery ay hindi malaki ang pagtaas ng short-term risks para sa maraming pasyente.
Ang iyong surgeon ay mababalanse ang listahan ng iyong gamot nang maigi. Itatatakda nila ang pinakamainam na plano para sa iyong partikular na sitwasyon. Huwag itigil ang pag-inom ng iyong gamot nang hindi nakikipag-usap sa iyong doktor. Biglaang pagtigil ay maaaring magdulot ng mga blood sugar spikes at pagbabalik ng timbang. Gabay ng iyong care team ang iyong kung paano pamahalaan ang gamot na ito nang ligtas sa paligid ng iyong araw ng surgery.
Paano ito nakakaapekto sa iyong operasyon at anestesia
Ang mga gamot na GLP-1 tulad ng Ozempic at Wegovy ay nagpapabagal sa bilis ng paglilinis ng iyong tiyan ng pagkain patungo sa bituka. Ibig sabihin, mas matagal mananatili ang pagkain sa iyong tiyan kaysa sa karaniwan. Dahil dito, maaaring mayroon pa ring nilalaman ang iyong tiyan kahit sundin mo ang pamantayang patakaran ng pagf-fasting bago ang operasyon.
Ang pagkaantala na ito ay nagdudulot ng partikular na panganib habang nasa anestesia. Kung hindi babaon ang iyong tiyan, mas mataas ang tsansang lumabas ang mga nilalaman ng tiyan at pumasok sa iyong baga habang ka-sedated. Tinatawag itong aspiration. Maaari nitong sanhiin ang seryosong problema sa paghinga. Alam ng iyong anestesiologo ang panganib na ito at maingat na inihahanda ang mga hakbang para dito.
Ang kasalukuyang mga gabay ay hindi nagrekomenda ng pagtigil sa mga gamot na ito bago ang elective na operasyon. Ang pagtigil sa mga ito nang maaga ay maaaring magdulot ng mataas na antas ng asukal sa dugo at magpahirap sa pagkontrol ng iyong timbang. Sa halip, ang iyong medical team ang magmamaneho ng oras ng iyong huling dose at ng iyong panahon ng pagf-fasting. Maaari silang humingi sa iyo na mag-fasting ng mas matagal kaysa sa karaniwan o baguhin ang oras ng pag-inom ng iyong susunod na dose.
Maaari ring gumamit ang iyong anestesiologo ng ultrasound upang suriin ang iyong tiyan bago ka matulog. Ang mabilis at walang sakit na scan na ito ay tumutulong sa kanila na makita kung mayroon pa ring pagkain o likido sa iyong tiyan. Tinitiyak ng pagsusuring ito na ligtas na simulan ang anestesia.
Habang ang mga gamot na GLP-1 ay maaaring magpabagal ng paglilinis ng tiyan, maaari rin itong magbigay ng ilang benepisyo habang nagre-recover. Ilang pag-aaral ang nagpapakita na ang paggamit ng mga gamot na ito sa paligid ng panahon ng operasyon para sa joint replacement ay nauugnay sa mas kaunting impeksyon at mas kaunting pagbabalik sa ospital. Hindi ito tila nagpapataas ng panganib ng ibang malalaking komplikasyon sa loob ng unang 90 araw pagkatapos ng operasyon.
Magtatrabaho ang iyong surgeon at anestesiologo nang sama-sama upang balansehin ang mga salik na ito. Pipili sila ng pinakaligtas na plano para sa iyong partikular na pangangailangan sa kalusugan. Pakipag-alam sa iyong surgical team kung kailan huling ininom ang iyong gamot na GLP-1. Ang impormasyong ito ay tumutulong sa kanila na panatilihing ligtas ka habang nasa operasyon.
Ano ang dapat mong gawin
Sabihin sa iyong surgeon, anaesthetist, at GP na gumagamit ka ng mga gamot na GLP-1 tulad ng Ozempic o Wegovy. Ang mga gamot na ito ay tumutulong sa pagbaba ng timbang at kontrol sa asukal sa dugo bago ang operasyon. Maaari rin nitong bawasan ang iyong risk ng impeksyon at readmission. Gayunpaman, maaari nitong pabagal ang pag-empty ng iyong tiyan. Ibig sabihin, maaaring manatili ang pagkain sa iyong tiyan nang mas matagal kaysa sa karaniwan.
Huwag huminto sa pag-inom ng iyong gamot nang sarili mong desisyon. Ang paghinto nito ay maaaring magpalakas ng iyong antas ng asukal sa dugo at gawing mas mahirap ang kontrol sa timbang. Ang iyong prescribing doctor ang magdedesisyon kung dapat mong itigil muna ang gamot bago ang iyong procedure. Sundin ang kanilang tiyak na mga tagubilin tungkol sa fasting at timing. Kung hindi ka sigurado kung ano ang dapat mong gawin, humingi ng malinaw na gabay sa iyong care team.
