The ecological footprint of therapeutic plasmapheresis methods
Global warming is one of the most pressing issues of our century with negative impacts on human health. Healthcare services are vital for human well-being. At the same time healthcare systems have been recognized as major contributors to the climate crisis. As health and health equity are the ultimate goals for humanity, evaluation of the ecological footprint in different areas of medical practice enhances knowledge and information needed to mitigate negative health effects of climate change. Although numerous studies have clearly demonstrated the ecological effects of hemodialysis there is no data regarding the ecologic impact of apheresis procedures. We aimed to summarize some of the available information regarding the key sources of apheresis carbon emissions hoping to make a first step towards pragmatic assessments.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
