In this episode, we tackle a major environmental footprint hiding in plain sight within our prep rooms and theatres: anaesthesia. Volatile agents like isoflurane and sevoflurane are potent greenhouse gases, but reducing their impact doesn’t have to mean sacrificing patient safety—or your bottom line.
Joining us is VICTORIA PLIMMER, an RVN with a passion for clinical auditing and greener practice. Together, we unpack:
- Debunking the “Cost vs. Green” Myth: How sustainable choices of anaesthesia boost profitability
- Quick Wins: Low-hanging fruit for immediate, low-budget implementation
- Low-Flow Safety: How to transition safely using essential monitoring tools and capnography
- Nurse-Led Workflow: Empowering RVNs to lead culture changes and optimise workflows.
Tune in to learn how data-driven anaesthesia choices can create a greener, more cost-effective clinic today!
