However, the literature on nontobacco nicotine dependence (NTND) is scarce. It is important to analyze the influence of these products as they pertain to medical and surgical postoperative complications.

Purpose: Initially introduced as a safer alternative to smoking, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vaping have since been associated with lung injury. Nevertheless, there is limited perioperative data on their potential contribution to the harmful effects of mechanical ventilation on the lungs. We hypothesized that, in adults undergoing noncardiothoracic surgeries, preoperative vaping/e-cigarette use is associated with hypoxemia during the first postoperative hour, and with an increased incidence of intraoperative and postoperative pulmonary complications.

In recent years, marijuana and vaping have acquired widespread popularity, with millions of people using them for a variety of reasons, including recreational purposes. However, these practices have often overlooked the implications on surgery and the preoperative anesthesia considerations. Marijuana can influence a patient's response to anesthesia, alter postoperative pain management, and increase the risk of complications, whereas vaping can have negative effects on the respiratory system and hinder the body's ability to recover after surgery.

Background: As illicit substance use can present several perioperative concerns, effective means to identify such practices are necessary to ensure patient safety. Identification of illicit substance use in pediatric patients may be problematic as screening may rely on parental reporting.
Aims: The current study compares answers regarding use of illicit substances between a survey completed by the patient and the preoperative survey completed by parents or guardians.
