Associate Professor Diane Gordon, MD is leading the charge against climate change! Learn how her work and the team @ChildrensColo reduced OR emissions by 68% by eliminating desflurane, cutting nitrous oxide, and transforming anesthesia practices. The results of Project Spruce highlight the cumulative impact of sustained practice changes, like the use of low-flow anesthesia and targeted emission reductions in high-volume procedures. The leadership and adaptability of the medical team, including a collective commitment to sustainability, have been instrumental in achieving these outcomes.
