RESUMEN

Objetivos:

Estimar el impacto ambiental del gas anestésico inhalatorio sevoflurano utilizado en los procedimientos quirúrgicos en un hospital público localizado en la provincia constitucional del Callao. Material y

métodos:

Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo basado en la información sobre la utilización de tipos y cantidades de agentes anestésicos inhalatorios en un hospital seleccionado. La huella de carbono fue estimada con base en la cantidad de botellas del agente utilizado, volumen de cada botella, densidad del agente, y potencial de calentamiento global.

Resultados:

El gas anestésico utilizado en el hospital seleccionado fue el sevoflurano. El gas generó 18,13 CO2teq para el año 2015 y 17,64 en 2016.

Conclusiones:

El sevoflurano produce un impacto ambiental negativo pero menor al que hubiese ocurrido al utilizar otros gases como isoflurano o desflurano. (AU)
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Estimate the environmental impact of the inhaled anesthetic gas sevoflurano used in surgical procedures in a public hospital located in the province of Callao.

Methods:

A descriptive and retrospective study based on information about of the type and quantity of anesthetic agent used in the selected hospital. The carbon footprint was estimated based on the multiplication of the annual number of bottles used, volume of each bottle, density, and global warming potential.

Results:

Sevoflurane is the anesthetic gas used in the selected hospital. This gas generated 18.13 CO2teq for the year 2015 and 17.64 in 2016.

Conclusions:

The sevoflurano has a negative environmental impact but minor if other gases as isoflurano or desflurano would have been used. (AU)
