Developing a quality improvement project to tackle the desflurane problem
BMJ Open Quality, 2023 Anaesthesia is associated with the routine use of volatile anaesthetic agents, all of which are potent greenhouse gases in varying degrees. Desflurane, in particular, has a high global warming potential and in recent years, there has been a global ...

Cost-effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon footprint: an economic modelling study. [PDF]
AnaesthesiaSummary Introduction The UK NHS is committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Volatile anaesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases and alternative intravenous methods exist. We aimed to predict the cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon emissions. Methods A general

Comparing isoflurane and desflurane: A prospective randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery. [PDF]
Vet RecAbstract Background The recovery period is associated with the greatest risk of injury for horses undergoing anaesthesia. Recovery quality and duration can be influenced by the volatile agent. Methods This prospective, randomised blinded clinical investigation recruited 101 healthy client‐owned horses undergoing elective surgery at one UK equine ...

Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2021 BACKGROUND Desflurane is a mainstay of general inhaled anesthetics with a methyl ethyl ether structure and is widely used in clinical practice. It has been reported to induce inflammation and lipid peroxidation in rat pulmonary parenchyma, to increase ...
