Vaping can affect the respiratory system and may create additional concerns for patients undergoing surgery and anesthesia.
This narrative review identified 22 studies and highlights possible lung injury, breathing complications, increased metabolic stress, impaired lung development and weakened immune responses. The author recommends targeted screening before surgery, including asking about how often a patient vapes, how they use the product and its nicotine concentration.

View Original SourceDoctors and anesthesia teams routinely ask patients about medicines, smoking and other factors that may affect surgery. Vaping is another exposure that may be relevant.
Knowing whether and how a patient vapes can help healthcare professionals assess respiratory risks and plan care more appropriately.
As vaping becomes more common, healthcare systems may need to include vaping more consistently in patient screening and health histories.
Clinical guidance for surgical care may need to consider vaping separately rather than treating it exactly the same as conventional cigarette smoking.
The evidence base is still developing, so recommendations should continue to be updated as stronger research becomes available.
اس جائزے میں 22 مطالعات کو شامل کیا گیا اور یہ دیکھا گیا کہ ویپنگ آپریشن اور بے ہوشی کے دوران مریض کی صحت پر کس طرح اثر ڈال سکتی ہے۔ ویپنگ کا تعلق پھیپھڑوں کے مسائل اور سانس کی پیچیدگیوں سے بتایا گیا ہے۔
مصنف کے مطابق آپریشن سے پہلے یہ پوچھنا مفید ہے کہ مریض ویپ استعمال کرتا ہے یا نہیں، کتنی بار استعمال کرتا ہے، کس طریقے سے استعمال کرتا ہے اور اس میں نکوٹین کتنی ہے۔ اس معلومات سے ڈاکٹر اور بے ہوشی کی ٹیم ممکنہ خطرات کا بہتر اندازہ لگا سکتی ہے۔
