Digest 412 cover

STORY BEHIND THE COVER

The measurement of weight is part of our standard pre-operative assessment and a familiar sight. This issue includes an article on Ozempic®, Mounjaro® and other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist-containing medications. These new drugs open a frontier in tackling obesity and overweight, but present new challenges in sedation.
