What's the carbon footprint of anaesthetic gases?

You can use your phone to determine the carbon impact and cost of your chosen anaesthetic agent.

Developed in conjunction with Southampton teaching hospital, this app allows you to easily set the gas flow and active agent percentage for Isoflurane, Sevflurane and Desflurane, and displays the estimated carbon equivalent global warming effect and the cost for each.

A settings screen allows you to alter the values used in the calculation
