Background and Aims Utility of Peripheral Nerve Blocks Can reduce the effects of general anesthesia on Climate Change.

Methods A cross-sectional study can provide information for the following points.

Results PNB’S Regional Anesthesia promotion can reduce the effects of general anesthesia on Climate Change significantly.

Conclusions Title: Promoting Regional Anesthesia Utilizing Peripheral Nerve Blocks to Mitigate General Anesthesia Use and Address Climate Change: A Systematic Review Abstract: The utilization of regional anesthesia, particularly through peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs), offers a promising avenue to reduce reliance on general anesthesia and mitigate its environmental impact on climate change. This systematic review examines the current literature to evaluate the efficacy of PNBs in decreasing the utilization of general anesthesia and its associated environmental consequences. By exploring the clinical effectiveness of PNBs and their potential to minimize the consumption of general anesthetics drugs and gases, this research aims to provide insights into sustainable anesthesia practices. The findings underscore the importance of regional anesthesia promotion as a viable strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the healthcare sector’s contribution to climate change. Through collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and environmental advocates, the widespread adoption of regional anesthesia techniques can contribute significantly to both patient care and environmental stewardship.
