Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Desflurane greenhouse effect index, calculated by converting annual desflurane consumption and energy consumption (electricity and city gas consumption) at each medical institution into CO2 emission equivalents and taking the ratio of the two.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Correlation coefficient between energy consumption (electricity and city gas consumption) and facility size (number of general anesthesia cases and number of beds) per medical institution	—
