Anaesthesia and environment: impact of a green anaesthesia on economics.
The excessive growth of the health sector has created an industry that, while promoting health, is now itself responsible for a significant part of global environmental pollution. The health crisis caused by climate change urges us to transform healthcare into a sustainable industry. This review aims to raise awareness about this issue and to provide practical and evidence-based recommendations for anaesthesiologists. ⋯ This review offers evidence-based recommendations, along with their financial impact, to improve the sustainability of anaesthesiology practice in the operating room.
