Description
Leonard Kloevekorn and four co-authors review how to cut the carbon cost of surgery. Hospitals must treat people harmed by climate change while emitting large amounts themselves, and surgical care is a major source. Their 2024 review gathers qualitative studies on the direct emission sources in surgery. It then reads those sources through the Congruence Model, a framework that checks how well the parts of an organization fit together.
Sorting emissions by people, tasks, tools, and culture shows where cuts can stick. A greener device fails if routines and training pull the other way. The authors aim to move the debate from lists of hotspots to plans for change. Their map targets hospital leaders planning real programs, not pledges.
