@ATitanMD @JanBoublikMDPhD @BioBag @StanfordPlastic @StanfordSurgery @BaiuMD @ATitanMD let me know if I can help make that happen!

@JanBoublikMDPhD @BioBag @StanfordPlastic @StanfordSurgery @BaiuMD @R_Outterson The first trial will be in Lane and then hoping to get them to OSC after!!!

Just received our trial compostable bags to use instead of plastic bags to cover personal bags in OR from @BioBag! Excited to be working on this #Sustainability effort with @StanfordPlastic, @StanfordSurgery, @BaiuMD, Dr. Fox, and the awesome Stanford OR leadership! 🌎

@JanBoublikMDPhD @ATitanMD @BioBag @StanfordPlastic @StanfordSurgery @BaiuMD Ooh- I want those!

@ATitanMD @BioBag @StanfordPlastic @StanfordSurgery @BaiuMD @R_Outterson, are you getting those for that lovely outpatient center in Redwood City?

@DrAmy_Collins @EMARIANOMD @mollymhherr @MiniMDKelleher @JanBoublikMDPhD @CAS_EnviroSus @chethanr @rakesh6282 @AnesthesiaGreen @GreeningDoc @SeemaSustainMD At one Stanford outpatient surgery center, we have. We were the pilot site and other sites will follow soon (and hopefully faster, now that we’ve got the process figured out!).

@R_Outterson @EMARIANOMD @mollymhherr @MiniMDKelleher @JanBoublikMDPhD @CAS_EnviroSus @chethanr @rakesh6282 @AnesthesiaGreen @GreeningDoc @SeemaSustainMD Does this mean Stanford has successfully decommissioned nitrous?

"N2O line Not in use" 🎉🎉🎉

That I was even asked to give this interview is one more hopeful sign that sustainability in medicine is becoming mainstream: aorn.org/outpatient-sur… #ASRAGreen @mollymhherr @EMARIANOMD @MiniMDKelleher @rakesh6282 @GreeningDoc @JanBoublikMDPhD @AnesthesiaGreen @CAS_EnviroSus

Great summary on the mounting evidence to ditch nitrous oxide and rethink what we consider "harmless" #greenanesthesia #ASRAGreenSIG @DrFoutsPalmer @Viv43308518 @R_Outterson

What do we know about the environmental benefits of regional anesthesia? I'm glad you asked! @ASRA_Society @rakesh6282 @MiniMDKelleher @mollymhherr @EMARIANOMD @NarouzeMD @JanBoublikMDPhD asra.com/news-publicati…

Happy #EarthDay2023! 🌎Even though #regionalanesthesia is one of the strategies to minimize potent greenhouse gas, it can still produce a large carbon footprint! Check out this infographic from #ASRANews on 4 ways to "bring out the best" of regional: ow.ly/cjkT50NPBI6

Pictured here: this year’s earth day baskets (from the closet where I am hiding planning the scavenger hunt while my husband distracts the kids) While I am frantically writing earth-themed clues, you can still sign up for the earth day webinar!

How do you all do earth day? In my house we do baskets filled with sustainable treats delivered by the “earth worm” (don’t tell my kids that’s not actually a thing) and recommit to practicing #greenanesthesia #asragreensig @EMARIANOMD @CassandraLThiel cas.ca/en/meetings-ev…

The difference between 1.5C and 2C - and indeed 2.7C - is not just a planet that is a little warmer. This infographic from @IPCC_CH devastatingly illustrates just how much more we still have to lose. #climateMD #ClimateActionNow #IPCC
