Abstrakt: The UK National Health Service's Sustainable Development Unit calculated that 30% of greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic services in 2017 were attributable to nitrous oxide used in maternity services [1]. We set out to compare the carbon dioxide equivalence (CO SB 2 sb e) of pharmaceutical options for labour analgesia to help inform UK healthcare staff and patients. If a parturient chooses epidural or opioid analgesia, then avoiding delays in administration could reduce consumption of nitrous oxide. [Extracted from the article]
