The Green House Effects of Anaesthesia
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In last few decades, use of inhalational anesthetic gases has increased significantly due to the introduction of newer inhalational agents with inherent benefits and safety. In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness about their role in the global climate change and the environment. As anaesthesiologists, we have a duty towards our future generations to minimize operation room pollution, by employing techniques which can minimize the untoward effects of these gases on the environment. Also, we should ensure adequate maintenance of anaesthesia delivery systems as well as scavenging systems which can promote a relatively safe and healthy environment.
