We analyzed the electricity consumption of six different anesthesia workstations, calculated their GHG emissions and electricity costs and investigated the potential to reduce emissions and cost by using the devices in a more efficient way.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Power consumption (active power in watt , W) was measured with the devices off, in standby mode, or fully on with the measuring instrument SecuLife ST. Devices studied were: Dräger Primus, Löwenstein Medical LeonPlus, Getinge Flow C, Getinge Flow E, GE Carestation 750 and GE Aisys. Calculations of GHG emissions were made with different emission factors, ranging from very low (0.09 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent/kWh) to very high (0.660 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent/kWh).

The annual electricity consumption to run 96 devices in a large clinical department ranges between 45 and 105 Megawatt-hours (MWh) when the devices are left in standby during off hours. If 80% of the devices are switched off during off hours, between 20 and 46 MWh can be saved per year in a single institution. At the average emission factor of our hospital, this electricity saving corresponds to a reduction of GHG emissions between 8.5 and 19.8 tons CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent.

All devices exhibit a high electricity consumption in standby mode. Avoiding standby mode during off hours can save energy and thus GHG emissions and cost. The reductions in GHG emissions and electricity cost that can be achieved with this intervention in a large anesthesiology department are modest. Compared with GHG emissions generated by volatile anesthetics, particularly desflurane, optimization of electricity consumption of anesthesia workstations holds a much smaller potential to reduce the carbon footprint of anesthesia; however, as switching off anesthesia workstations overnight is relatively effortless, this behavioral change should be encouraged from both an ecological and economical point of view.</p>","PeriodicalId":72805,"journal":{"name":"Die Anaesthesiologie","volume":" ","pages":"244-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11021308/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139725158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ensuring perioperative patient safety is of particular importance. At the same time, the efficient use of the central operating room is essential for the economic success of a hospital. Preoperative preparation is a complex process with many substeps that are often difficult to manage. Historically, the focus has been on retrospective learning from errors and incidents. More recent approaches take a systemic view. A central idea is to consider the mostly positive course of treatment and the adjustments to daily work that are currently required by the people involved (Safety-II). By taking greater account of how the many components of the system interact, processes can be better understood and specific measures derived. This strengthens the system's ability to adapt to changes and disturbances, thus ensuring that goals are achieved. The functional resonance analysis method (FRAM) is an internationally recognized method for modelling work as done compared to work as imagined. This paper presents the application of FRAM to preoperative preparation in a major regional hospital.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>Is FRAM suitable for improving process understanding in preoperative preparation?</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>An interdisciplinary project team identified relevant functions of preoperative preparation through document analysis and walkthroughs. Based on this, more than 30 guided interviews were conducted with functionaries. The results were presented graphically and specific information, such as safety-related statements or reasons for the variability of functions, were also presented textually. In the next phase, statements were evaluated and compared with the target model and the job descriptions.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The FRAM revealed the process as a complex network of relationships. During the modelling process, a varying degree of centrality and variability of certain functions became apparent. From the observations, the project team selected those with high relevance for patient safety and for the efficiency of the overall process in order to prioritize starting points for deriving measures to increase resilience. These starting points relate either to single functions, such as surgical site marking or to multiple functions that are variable in their execution, such as delays due to nonsynchronized duty times.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The FRAM conducted provides valuable new insights into the functioning of complex sociotechnical systems that go far beyond classical linear methods.
