A programme for reducing smoking in pre‐operative surgical patients: randomised controlled trial*

Abstract: SummaryWe assessed the efficacy of a comprehensive programme for stopping smoking in 210 smokers scheduled for surgery, before admission and 3 months after attending a pre-operative clinic. Participants were randomly allocated to receive an intervention incorporating nicotine replacement therapy for patients smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day ('dependent smokers'), or to a control group to receive usual care. Dependent smokers allocated to the intervention group were more likely to report abstinence befor… Show more

“…Table 10 presents the characteristics of the included studies and their participants. In five studies 33,60,62,78,113 the interventions contained stand-alone computer programs only. Of the other two studies, one had telephone hotline, stop-smoking contest and self-help material as a co-intervention in each of the study arms, 33 whereas the other had brief advice by midwives and self-help manual as a co-intervention.…”

“…Two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials 15,17 studied the efficacy of counseling and pharmacotherapy (bupropion or NRT) vs usual care and placebo. However, two trials 16,18 examined the effect of more intensive behavioural interventions (e.g., a computer-assisted counseling program or counseling sessions followed by postoperative telephone follow-up) and NRT in promoting smoking cessation. Counseling interviews (five to 15 min duration) were delivered by trained research assistants 16,18 or registered nurses.…”
