Carbon footprint of total intravenous anaesthesia vs. inhalational sevoflurane anaesthesia in adults: a modelling study
Adopting TIVA for appropriate cases lasting longer than 22 min will reduce the carbon footprint of general anaesthesia compared with median consumption of sevoflurane general anaesthesia. Using low fresh gas flows or end-tidal control reduces the carbon footprint of inhalational general anaesthesia.
