title: Reducing secondhand smoke exposure of children undergoing surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the attitudes and beliefs of both parents and surgical clinicians regarding interventions to reduce secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure in children undergoing surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Structured interviews were conducted with 25 parents of children scheduled for elective procedures and 10 surgical clinicians.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Major themes identified in parent interviews included: (1) parents are receptive to learning about the surgical risks posed by SHS exposure; (2) many are already attempting to reduce SHS exposure, and; (3) parents are more accepting of SHS mitigation procedure than a recommendation to quit smoking. Clinicians were receptive to addressing perioperative SHS exposure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both parents and clinicians are receptive to clinician-delivered interventions to reduce the SHS exposure of children scheduled for elective surgery.
