Preoperative smoking cessation interventions lack direct evidence for effectiveness in reducing surgical complications. However, observational data suggests benefits, and proven cessation methods should be considered for patients undergoing surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Public health
  • Surgical outcomes

Background:

  • Smokers face increased intraoperative and postoperative complication risks.
  • Preoperative smoking cessation interventions may reduce these risks.
  • The preoperative period offers a window of opportunity for smoking cessation due to heightened patient motivation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of preoperative smoking intervention on smoking cessation post-surgery.
  • To assess the effect of smoking cessation on postoperative complication rates.
  • To identify effective interventions for surgical patients.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
  • Searched specialized tobacco addiction and medical databases (EMBASE, CINAHL).

  • Included RCTs on preoperative smoking cessation and its effect on complications.

    • Main Results:

    • No RCTs met the inclusion criteria for this review.
    • Direct evidence on the effectiveness of preoperative interventions is currently lacking.

    Conclusions:

    • No direct evidence supports preoperative smoking interventions for cessation or complication reduction.
    • Observational data indicates benefits of preoperative smoking cessation.
    • Behavioral and pharmacological interventions effective in other settings warrant consideration for surgical patients.
