Greenhouse gas reduction in anaesthesia practice: a departmental environmental strategy.

Sustainability interventions were implemented at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) following identification of inhaled anaesthetic gases as a target for reducing medical carbon emissions. This quality improvement study assessed and evaluated the impact of sustainability interventions on the environmental and financial cost of inhaled anaesthetic gas use in order to guide future initiatives and research in reducing carbon emissions from healthcare practice.Ethical exemption was granted from the RBWH Research Ethics Committee (EX/2021/QRBW/76078).

A Pregnancy Case of Primary Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma with Superior Vena Cava Syndrome.

Primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which presents rarely in pregnancy. It is an aggressive tumour that is associated with symptoms of superior vena cava (SVC) compression and airway compromise such as dyspnoea, facial and arm swelling, cough, or chest pain. Timely diagnosis is imperative to optimising patient outcomes and reducing both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
