Abstract

Smoking cessation appears to be the response that provides the best cost/benefit ratio among cardiovascular prevention actions. However, hospitalization precisely offers a strategic opportunity to initiate smoking cessation. This work evaluates the assistance in smoking cessation of patients treated by coronary angioplasty at the University Hospital of Liege over the last 6 years. It aims to provide food for thought regarding optimal management of smoking. Analysis of data showed a withdrawal rate of 55 % at year one. Strengthening motivation (with motivational interviewing and conversational hypnosis), the use of nicotine replacement and participation in cardiac rehabilitation have been identified as factors in consolidating abstinence. This work attests to the relevance and necessity of the intervention of a tobacco specialist in hospitalization and outpatient settings to ensure follow-up and improve the success rate of smoking cessation.

Le sevrage tabagique apparaît comme la réponse qui permet le meilleur rapport coût/bénéfice parmi les actions de prévention cardiovasculaire. Or, l’hospitalisation offre précisément une opportunité stratégique pour initier l’arrêt du tabagisme. Ce travail évalue l’aide au sevrage tabagique des patients traités par angioplastie coronaire au CHU de Liège durant ces 6 dernières années. Il vise à nourrir la réflexion quant à une prise en charge optimale du tabagisme. L’analyse des données a montré un taux de sevrage de 55 % à un an. Le renforcement de la motivation (avec l’entretien motivationnel et l’hypnose conversationnelle), l’utilisation d’une substitution nicotinique et la participation à la revalidation cardiaque ont été identifiés comme des facteurs de consolidation de l’abstinence. Ce travail atteste de la pertinence et de la nécessité de l’intervention d’un tabacologue en hospitalisation et en ambulatoire pour assurer un suivi et améliorer la réussite du sevrage tabagique.
