Description
Shairko Missouri and co-authors report low blood oxygen after surgery in a 2026 case. A young man who vaped cannabis heavily had surgery with full sleep drugs. He had no known heart or lung ill before the work.
After he woke, his blood oxygen fell, though his chest film was near clear and he breathed with ease. He needed extra oxygen for a short time, then got well on his own in one day. Cannabis smoke can sore the air paths and change gas swap in the lungs. Sleep drugs can add to that strain. The team urges staff to ask about vaping before surgery.
