To deliver anesthesia, you need medical-grade oxygen to carry the anesthetic vapor into the lungs. That means pure oxygen; the air we breathe on a regular basis is only about 21 percent oxygen.

Reducing the use of climate-warming inhaled gases can cut emissions associated with surgical anesthesia in half, according to ...

Gases used in anesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows ...

These changes, along with reduced delivery of anesthetic gases, resulted in 5,000 fewer metric tons of carbon dioxide since 2022 – equivalent to taking 1,100 gas-powered cars off the road ...

So we compare greenhouse gases using a metric called global warming potential 100, which is the ability of a gas to warm the planet over a 100-year time horizon. And the anesthesia gases that we use ...

THE present study was undertaken to determine if the pattern of ventilation, by itself, may influence oxygenation during anesthesia and surgery. The hypothesis was examined that progressive ...

Buttonwood Park Zoo was gifted an anesthesia machine from Southcoast Health. The zoo frequently has to anesthetize animals in order to take care of any medical issues. NEW BEDFORD — One day in ...
