Estimation of carbon emissions associated with tibial plateau levelling osteotomies in 10 dogs.

Objective: To describe a method of estimating the carbon emissions resulting from 10 clinical canine surgical procedures.

Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Animals: A total of 10 adult client-owned dogs presenting to two private referral centres in the UK for tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) using either isoflurane or sevoflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia.

Carbon footprint of inhalational and total intravenous anaesthesia for paediatric anaesthesia: a modelling study.

Background: Tackling the climate emergency is now a key target for the healthcare sector. Avoiding inhalational anaesthesia is often cited as an important element of reducing anaesthesia-related emissions. However, evidence supporting this is based on adult practice.
