Background

High-volume surgical processes generate significant medical waste, particularly from single-use instruments and anesthetic agents. While sterilization (claving), anesthetic management, and reuse interventions offer potential solutions for reducing waste and improving sustainability, they also present challenges related to safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Optimizing these processes is essential to balancing patient safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility in modern surgical practice.
 

Research Objectives

This study aims to investigate the role of sterilization, anesthetic management, and reuse interventions in enhancing the sustainability of high-volume surgical procedures. It will assess the effectiveness of current sterilization and reuse practices, analyze the environmental impact of anesthetic agents, and explore policy and technological innovations that support safer and more sustainable surgical workflows. The findings will provide insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and hospital administrators seeking to improve efficiency while minimizing environmental impact in surgical settings.
