Curious about the carbon footprint of individual items used in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and sevoflurane anaesthesia?

Here's some helpful info!

Carbon footprint of modelled general anaesthetic scenarios over the first 6 hours of general anaesthesia, including all consumable items and drugs unique to the anaesthetic technique.

#TIVA has demonstrated a favourable carbon footprint profile compared to inhalational anaesthetic techniques, but encouraging a global shift to #TIVA comes with financial, training and supply considerations

25% of UK anaesthetics use #TIVA. Optimal delivery method - #TCI vs manual TIVA - is unclear. TCI had less post-op cognitive dysfunction, #PONV and lower pain scores but similar cost vs inhalational anaesthesia
