About
Smoking, anxiety and pain are clearly related conditions. We aimed to reveal the relationship between smoking cessation before surgery and preoperative anxiety, postoperative anxiety and pain in chronic smokers.
METHODS ASA I-II group patients without chronic disease and history of drug use were included in the study. Those who did not want to participate in the study, patients with ASA III and above were excluded from the study. The patients were randomized into 2 groups: smokers (Group S, n = 60) and non-smokers (Group NS, n = 60). Group S was asked to quit smoking 2 weeks before the operation. Preoperative period and postoperative 0, 2, 4. And 6. hour Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) values, postop 0., 2., 4., 6. hour Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) values were recorded.
Full description
it has been revealed in the current study that smoking, pain and anxiety are interrelated with each other. In the preoperative period, high anxiety scores are related to surgery and anesthesia stress. High anxiety scores in the smoker group both in the preoperative period and in the postoperative period are associated with smoking cessation. While the pain scores were similar in the postoperative period, high anxiety scores strengthened the idea of smoking withdrawal and this study gained value. We believe that future studies with a large number of patients, with different parameters and multiple centers will strengthen the results.
