INTRODUCTION
The upscale of surgical service delivery in low to middle income countries will increase health sector greenhouse gas emissions globally. Understanding surgical greenhouse gas emissions from surgical suite activities can direct decarbonization strategies and achieve local, and global climate change objectives.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A prospective surgical suite carbon foot print study was conducted at the Alotau Provincial Hospital from the 28 March 2022 to the 28 of May 2022.
RESULTS
The total carbon emission for the surgical suite in APH over the study period was 2,665.8 kgCOe. The average carbon emission per surgical case within the boundary of the surgical suite was 8.4 kgCOe. Scope one emissions (anaesthetic gases) accounted for 44.7% (1171.3 kgCOe) of all carbon emissions.
CONCLUSION
If no action is taken, carbon emissions in the western pacific region will continue to increase from surgical suites. Therefore, proactive efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must be prioritized.
引言
中低收入国家外科服务规模的扩大将增加全球卫生部门的温室气体排放。了解手术室活动产生的外科手术温室气体排放可以指导脱碳战略，并实现地方和全球气候变化目标。
材料与方法
2022年3月28日至2022年5月28日，在阿洛陶省医院进行了一项前瞻性手术室碳足迹研究。
结果
在研究期间，阿洛陶省医院手术室的总碳排放量为2665.8千克二氧化碳当量。手术室范围内每例手术的平均碳排放量为8.4千克二氧化碳当量。第一类排放（麻醉气体）占所有碳排放量的44.7%（1171.3千克二氧化碳当量）。
结论
如果不采取行动，西太平洋地区手术室的碳排放量将继续增加。因此，必须优先采取积极措施减少温室气体排放。
