The Gas Consumption Analytics dashboard enables clinical and economic insights based on the gas consumption of the supported Draeger anesthesia machines. Create transparency regarding uptake, efficiency, costs and applied fresh gas flows: This provides you with a reliable basis for defining measures for the consistent implementation of low- and minimal-flow anesthesia and thus to work in a more environmentally and patient-friendly way while reducing costs at the same time. Find out, for example, how Ortonville Area Health Services (OAHS) in Ortonville, Minnesota was able to realize immediate cost savings, positively affect clinical outcomes, and decrease environmental impact.

In many cases, reusable products are perceived as less harmful to the environment than single-use products. However, it is not that easy to say. Whether disposable or reusable products are more environmentally friendly can often only be evaluated through extensive eco-efficiency analyses. In hospitals in particular, the reprocessing of medical products, for example, can have a major impact on the CO₂ footprint. Aspects such as the eutrophication of soils and water bodies and the use of rare materials also play an important role in the holistic view.

Valid information is therefore needed to make a valid decision. This is where the eco-efficiency analyses help. Especially for products that are used in large quantities in hospitals, the ecological aspects should be considered in the procurement process.
