Proceedings of the Association of Anesthesia Clinical Directors (AACD) 2023 annual perioperative leadership summit: Minding the gap between theory and practice

Dr. Pandit noted that despite the differences in health care financing and infrastructure, both systems faced a significant backlog of elective surgical procedures, a dwindling workforce, and challenges with supply chains. Dr. Eva Parker examined the impact of the operating room on global climate change, from the production of carbon emissions to the inexplicable waste headed to our landfills.
