Substance Use Among Iranian Cardiac Surgery Patients and Its Effects on Short-Term Outcome
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 10/23/09

Azarasa M et al. – In cardiac surgery patients in northwest Iran, the prevalence of cigarette smoking is relatively low (very low in women), as is alcohol use, compared with Western countries; however, opium use is twice as prevalent. The authors found higher pulmonary complication rates in men who smoked, but no increase in postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and in–hospital mortality rates in patients who abused opium and consumed alcohol.
