The healthcare system is a contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for approximately 5% of greenhouse gas emissions in Western countries. In anaesthetic clinics, desflurane, a highly potent greenhouse gas and volatile anaesthetic with no compelling indications, accounts for up to two thirds of total emissions. Its use can be drastically reduced using simple measures. In the present study, we investigated whether a relevant and timely reduction in use could be achieved by dismounting desflurane vaporisers and providing information to the team without restricting its use.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study was conducted in a German university hospital with approximately 1250 beds, over a 12-month period between 2021 and 2022, with a comparison to the corresponding periods of the previous years up to 2017.
