Anesthesia and weed
    #26983014 - 10/13/20 09:22 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I'm getting my shoulder operated on on the 20th. I was told to abstain for 72 hours before my surgery but I've been an everyday smoker and vaper for a decade.

Is it really important that I stop smoking for 3 whole days?

Pot Users Need More Anesthesia, Painkillers During and After Surgery

Quote:

Marijuana users appear to need more anesthesia than nonusers, and also more opioids to relieve their pain after surgery, a new, preliminary study reports.

Users of cannabis products who had surgery for a broken leg required higher doses of sevoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic that keeps you asleep during a procedure. These folks also required nearly 60% more opioid painkillers per day while recuperating in the hospital, the researchers found.

The results jibe with earlier studies indicating that marijuana users might need more anesthesia initially to put them under, said lead author Dr. Ian Holmen, a resident anesthesiologist with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.

"It's similar to flying a plane. You have a takeoff section, and then you have your cruising section and then your landing. These in anesthesia are induction, maintenance and emergence," Holmen said. "We found that it's not just in the induction phase of anesthesia that you need more anesthesia, but even during that cruising phase you need more inhaled anesthetic."

The findings were reported Monday at an online meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Research presented at meetings is typically considered preliminary.

The implications for most marijuana users are not dire, according to Holmen and Dr. David Dickerson, vice chair of the ASA's Committee on Pain Medicine.

Pot users should simply be honest with their doctors about their marijuana consumption, so they can dial in their anesthetic dose more accurately, said Dickerson.

"We want to know there might be a need for more anesthesia," he said. "The last thing we want to do is to be under-dosing if someone is going to have an increased requirement. The more information we have, the more we can react and monitor to keep a patient safe during a procedure."

It's not as important as you may think. When I had both my surgeries on my shoulder I smoked before and after each time. One of the things to keep in mind is after you get out of anesthesia your lungs will still feel paralyzed  don't let it freak you out but only take small hits and don't keep them in as long as usual. Note: this is not medical advice I've just done it before

the anesthetized state affects consciousness in ways that are not nearly understood.  there are always unforeseen risks involved in surgical intervention.  if OP can’t follow the orders, they should at least be honest about that with their doctor and anesthesiologist.
