Green intensive care in an upper-middle-income country: A national survey of awareness, practices and barriers among ICU physicians in Turkey

Abstract

Despite strong motivation among ICU physicians, Green ICU practices remain limited, reflecting educational, institutional, and infrastructural barriers. Expanding national coordination, strengthening institutional sustainability strategies, and implementing structured training programs may be important for narrowing the implementation gap and integrating environmental sustainability as a core component of high-quality intensive care.
