Interventions for preoperative smoking cessation

How Can Smoking Cessation Be Induced Before Surgery? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Behavior Change Techniques and Other Intervention Characteristics

“…Our findings are consistent with a previous systematic review by Thomsen et al ( 2014 ) and show that patients can effectively be supported in stopping smoking before surgery. In 19 studies involving randomized and quasi-experimental designs, the effect of the interventions was to reduce smoking prevalence by half at the time of surgery (effect size g = 0.56, 95% CI 0.32–0.80).…”

Factors predicting one-year post-surgical mortality amongst older Asian patients undergoing moderate to major non-cardiac surgery – a retrospective cohort study

“…Our study validates other small studies that have shown smoking to be an independent risk factor that increases both 30-day and one-year postoperative mortality [11,12]. International protocols recommend that abstinence from smoking for at least four to eight weeks preoperatively is required for maximal benefit [13][14][15]. A systematic review with 1194 patients concluded that benefit is seen when intensive smoking cessation interventions in the form of individual counselling and nicotine replacement therapy are applied to patients at least four weeks before surgery and that there is a significant reduction of 30-day postoperative complications including wound healing, respiratory, cardiovascular, urological and other complications requiring treatment [15].…”

Effectiveness of the perioperative encounter in promoting regular exercise and physical activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The evidence in our review broadly supports existing data interventions delivered in the perioperative setting for surgical patients. 152 , 153 , 154 As the interventions involved a variety of practitioners, with 23.9% delivered by a multidisciplinary team, our review broadly supports evidence that the effectiveness of perioperative interventions relies on the involvement of a multi-professional team, 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 and supports preliminary work on the potential for collaborative care. 13 , 14 These data will inform the discussion around how to integrate models of care into a perioperative pathway which optimise not only surgical outcomes, but also the medium to long-term health benefits of increased PA.…”
