Great summary on the mounting evidence to ditch nitrous oxide and rethink what we consider "harmless" #greenanesthesia #ASRAGreenSIG @DrFoutsPalmer @Viv43308518 @R_Outterson
🔓Is the future of nitrous oxide as volatile as the gas itself?
"...we propose that nitrous oxide should not be used routinely in anaesthetic practice and only on a case-by-case basis when there are no alternatives."

Happy #EarthDay2023! 🌎Even though #regionalanesthesia is one of the strategies to minimize potent greenhouse gas, it can still produce a large carbon footprint! Check out this infographic from #ASRANews on 4 ways to "bring out the best" of regional: ow.ly/cjkT50NPBI6

The difference between 1.5C and 2C - and indeed 2.7C - is not just a planet that is a little warmer. This infographic from @IPCC_CH devastatingly illustrates just how much more we still have to lose. #climateMD #ClimateActionNow #IPCC
Bye, Desflurane!
