Climate Impact of Laryngeal Masks: Climate and Other Environmental Impacts of Reusable and Single‐Use Laryngeal Masks in Sweden
Single-use or reusable anesthesia equipment, like laryngeal masks have different costs associated with their use, and leave different environmental 'footprints'. This analysis presents models for these, to estimate the environmental impact and costs of these. This type of analysis is important to try to clarify the use 'case' for different alternatives for choices for materiel used in clinical areas like anesthesia.
