SUMMARY:Anesthesia in the Anthropocene: Environmental and economic con
 siderations of modern anesthesia and surgery\, Chaos & Complex Systems
  Seminar\, Mike Ries\, UW Department of Anesthesiology
DESCRIPTION:Climate health and population health are undeniably and in
 extricably linked. As healthcare institutions maintain a moral obligat
 ion to the healing of all the world's citizens\, and healthcare being 
 a significant\, environmentally burdensome business\, there exists a l
 arge motive and opportunity for "greening" healthcare. Even further\, 
 the operating room has been singled out as the most polluting and most
  energy-intensive part of the modern healthcare ecosystem. As the peri
 operative expert\, this places a moral and economic obligation on anes
 thesiologists to improve environmental standards in the operating room
 . During this talk we will discuss the complex environmental and econo
 mic problems facing the healthcare industry and more specifically how 
 "greening" the OR is the right choice for checkbooks and our environme
 nt alike.<br>
