Your surgical results depend on more than the procedure itself — they depend on how your body responds, heals, and recovers.
Our CPSC nurses, Bri and Quinn, explain why we ask patients to pause both ni****ne and cannabis before surgery: circulation, oxygenation, anesthesia response, and overall tissue health.
Ni****ne (ci******es, v**e, Zyn)
• Constricts blood vessels
• Reduces oxygen flow
• Delays healing
• Can lead to tissue damage or death
Cannabis (smoked or edible)
• Alters heart rate & blood pressure
• Affects your airway during anesthesia
• Increases anesthesia needs for regular users
• Makes it harder to keep vital signs stable
This isn’t about judgment — it’s about protecting your results and keeping you safe.
We’re here to partner with you every step of the way so your surgery, and your recovery, are set up for success.
