Anaesthetic Emissions
Description
Estimates the CO2e emissions associated with different anaesthetic agents.
Usage
anaesthetic_emissions(
desflurane = 0,
sevoflurane = 0,
isoflurane = 0,
N2O = 0,
methoxyflurane = 0,
propofol = 0
)
Arguments
desflurane |
Amount of desflurane used in KG (default: 0). |
sevoflurane |
Amount of sevoflurane used in KG (default: 0). |
isoflurane |
Amount of isoflurane used in KG (default: 0). |
N2O |
Amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) used in KG (default: 0). |
methoxyflurane |
Amount of methoxyflurane used in KG (default: 0). |
propofol |
Amount of propofol used in KG (default: 0). |
Details
These estimates are based on available literature and may vary depending on factors such as specific anaesthetic agents, usage conditions, and waste gas management practices.
Value
The total CO2e emissions in tonnes.
