Abstract
Introduction and objective

Smoking cessation before surgery decreases the risk of complications. The aim of this study was to analyse the smoking register, associated variables and a short talk given to smokers in pre-surgical visits.

Material and method

Cross-sectional study. The pre-surgical records of 680 patients were assessed. We selected patient sociodemographic variables, surgical intervention characteristics, smoking status and consumption pattern. Logistic regression was used to study the variables association with smoking.

Results

A percentage of 97.2 of the pre-surgical records include information on tobacco consumption. Overall 20% of surgical patients are smokers. The probability of smoking is higher among men (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7–4.0) and ≤60 years (aOR 5.4, 95% CI 3.2–9.1). None of the records had information regarding a short talk given to patients to give up smoking.

Conclusion

Smoking consumption was prevalent, but the characterization of a smoker's profile and short talk given to patient before surgery was practically nonexistent. Ensuring that patients who smokes receives a short talk to give up smoking before surgery is necessary.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

Dejar de fumar antes de una intervención quirúrgica disminuye el riesgo de complicaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el registro del consumo de tabaco, las variables asociadas y la realización del consejo breve.

Material y método

Estudio transversal. Se revisaron los registros prequirúrgicos de 680 pacientes. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, de la intervención quirúrgica, del consumo de tabaco y del patrón de consumo. Se utilizó la regresión logística para estudiar las variables asociadas al consumo de tabaco.

Resultados

En el 97,2% de los registros consta el consumo de tabaco. El 20% de los pacientes son fumadores. La probabilidad de consumo es mayor entre los hombres (odds ratio ajustada [ORa] 2,6; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95% 1,7-4,0) y ≤60 años (ORa 5,4; IC 95% 3,2-9,1). En ningún caso se registra si se ha proporcionado consejo breve para dejar de fumar.

Conclusión

El registro del consumo de tabaco es elevado durante la visita prequirúrgica, pero la caracterización del perfil de fumador y la realización del consejo breve es prácticamente inexistente. Sería necesario fomentar el abandono del tabaco antes de la cirugía.
