Approximately 3% of overall healthcare carbon emissions come from inhaled agents used during anesthesia. A new study from Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor has revealed that switching to less-polluting ...
An analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from volatile anesthetic agents across 41 countries showed that Western nations have achieved significant reductions, but Asian countries continue to increase ...
Dr. Sam Smith was on call at a Santa Barbara hospital in January 2018 when mudslides killed 23 people. Over the next few years, Smith, an anesthesiologist, helped treat patients suffering injuries or ...
Desflurane is a common anesthetic used in hospital operating rooms worldwide. It’s also a climate super pollutant. Now, several decades after the drug was first introduced, a growing number of U.S.
