Abstract

Healthcare sectors, particularly operating theaters, are major consumers of resources. Given today's climate-related issues, its seems vital that the different healthcare professionals in operating areas become aware of their roles. This is pronouncedly the case for hospital pharmacists, who fulfill cross-sectional functions in the proper use and management of healthcare products and sterile medical devices. The objective of this review of the literature is to identify the actions a hospital pharmacist can take to impel evolution toward ecologically responsible care in the operating theater. Seven areas in which a pharmacist can assume a leading, supporting or composite role in rendering an operating theater ecologically responsible have been highlighted: purchasing, procurement and storage, harmonization of practices, modification of practices, professional attire, waste elimination and research/teaching. The active participation of all healthcare professionals, including the hospital pharmacist, is essential to the development of a sustainable approach to healthcare.

医院药剂师如何促进手术室的可持续发展

医疗保健部门，尤其是手术室，是资源的主要消耗者。考虑到当今与气候相关的问题，手术区的不同医疗保健专业人员似乎必须意识到自己的角色。对于医院药剂师来说更是如此，他们在正确使用和管理保健产品和无菌医疗器械方面发挥着跨部门的作用。本文献综述旨在确定医院药剂师可以采取哪些行动来推动手术室向生态负责型护理方向发展。本文强调了药剂师可在以下七个方面发挥主导、支持或综合作用，以实现手术室的生态责任：采购、采购和储存、协调实践、修改实践、职业装、消除废物和研究/教学。包括医院药剂师在内的所有医疗保健专业人员的积极参与对于发展可持续的医疗保健方法至关重要。
