Let's give it up for our TPCH anaesthetics team, who have made a sustainable switch from reticulated nitrous oxide anaesthetic to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ♻️💚
Dr Mary and her peers teamed up with Green Metro North, including sustainability manager Kellie, to decommission the use of N2O for the greater good of the environment.
“Anaesthetic gases make up five per cent of total healthcare emissions, of which nitrous oxide accounts for approximately 75 per cent of the total emissions from anaesthetic gases,” Dr Mary said.
“Although nitrous oxide is a safe anaesthetic gas, it is prone to leaking from piped infrastructure even when the reticulation system is well serviced and maintained."
#ShoutoutSaturday 👏 to the team for being Queensland's first hospital to make this greener swap!
