Simple Green Changes for Anesthesia Practices to Make a Difference.

Cindy B Yeoh1, Kathleen J Lee2, Vanja Coric3, Luis E Tollinche1.   

Abstract

The environmental debate on going green in the operating room (OR) has been a controversial topic for many years. Challengers of greening efforts cite various obstacles and arguments against these initiatives. However, ORs in the United States continue to generate a staggering amount of waste daily. In this article, we review major barriers to going green and highlight simple, yet effective greening strategies that anesthesia practices could adopt to reduce our carbon footprint.
