Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To quantify the carbon emission of various anaesthetic agents and techniques used during surgery.Timepoint: At the end of each surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the total environmental impact (GWP 100) of anaesthesia, energy consumption in operating rooms (during anaesthesia, and for processing of linen and other reusable items and biomedical waste). 2. To evaluate the cost of anaesthesia. 3. To identify opportunities for minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.Timepoint: At the end of the study
