About this study
Official title: The Role of Nicotine Lozenges in Reducing Preoperative Exposure to Cigarette Smoke
The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and potential effect size of nicotine lozenges as an adjunct to maintain brief preoperative abstinence, defined as not smoking the day of surgery.
Read the detailed description
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) helps patients maintain prolonged abstinence; whether it might also be efficacious in helping smokers maintain preoperative "fasting" from smoking is not known. A goal of this study is to determine how to best decrease smokers' exposure to cigarette smoke immediately before surgery. The specific aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that NRT in the form of nicotine lozenges will decrease the exposure to cigarette smoke prior to surgery. This is a randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial examining the efficacy of the nicotine lozenge in increasing preoperative abstinence from cigarettes in patients scheduled for elective surgery. Current smokers scheduled for any of a wide variety of elective surgical procedures will be recruited in the Mayo Clinic Rochester Preoperative Evaluation Center. and will receive a brief practice-based intervention encouraging preoperative abstinence for at least 12 hours before admission to the surgical facility. They will be randomized to receive either active or placebo lozenge.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nicotine LozengeDrug
Also called Nicorette Lozenge
Nicotine lozenges, 2 or 4 mg, taken without restriction by mouth from 7 pm the evening before surgery until surgical admission the next day and a 2 minute behavioral intervention. Dosed according to time to first morning cigarette; if within 30 minutes of awakening, 4 mg lozenge used. If first cigarette smoked greater than 30 minutes of awakening, 2 mg lozenge used.
Placebo LozengeDrug
Placebo lozenges, matching in appearance the 2 and 4 mg active nicotine lozenges, taken by mouth without restriction from 7 pm the night before surgery to the time of surgical admission the next day and a 2 minute behavioral intervention.
Abstinence AdvisementBehavioural
A brief (approximately 2 minute) behavioral intervention advising abstinence from smoking after 7 pm the night before surgery, the potential benefits of abstinence and to use a lozenge at usual smoking times.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

Subjects also received an abstinence advisement: a brief (approximately 2 minute) behavioral intervention advising abstinence from smoking after 7 pm the night before surgery, the potential benefits of abstinence and to use a lozenge at usual smoking times.
