Northern Light Health eliminates use of desflurane in the operating room
BREWER — Northern Light Health has eliminated the use of the anesthetic gas desflurane throughout its hospitals. This is a significant step as Northern Light seeks to halve its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Desflurane has a global warming potential 2,500 times more than carbon dioxide and has been regularly used as a patient anesthetic in Northern Light operating rooms for decades. Alternative anesthetics, such as sevoflurane, will be used instead, which are just as effective and safe for patients. Desflurane is also the most expensive of the inhaled anesthetics, so its elimination brings both a cost savings and environmental benefits.
