In the process of decommissioning of our nitrous manifold and still have colleagues who use it. Looking for solutions to supply occasional use nitrous to a machine without a cylinder yolk please? If a mobile cylinder how did you connect to the machine? Thanks!

FACT: The more people choosing to walk, bike & take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS.
Anyone claiming that less car dependency is a “war on cars” doesn’t understand how cities (or geometry) work.
It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

Anaesthesia contributes ~40% #GHG emissions from operating rooms. #TIVA had lowest GHG emissions (0.4kgCO2e/hr) but most plastic pollution vs #TCIA (3.1kgCO2e/hr) vs manually optimised sevoflurane (3.8kgCO2/hr)

For those doubting the importance of sustainability in healthcare - since our nitrous oxide consensus statement came out last year, we’ve used 9.8 million fewer litres of manifold nitrous, equivalent to nearly 6 million kg of CO2
