The importance of environmental sustainability is acknowledged in all sectors, including healthcare. To meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda, healthcare will need a paradigm shift toward more environmentally sustainable practices that will also impact clinical decision-making. The study investigates trauma and emergency surgeons’ perception, acceptance, and employment of environmentally friendly habits. An online survey based on the most recent literature regarding environmental sustainability in healthcare and surgery was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was advertised to the 917 WSES members through the society’s website and Twitter/X profile. 450 surgeons from 55 countries participated in the survey. Results underline both a generally positive attitude toward environmental sustainability but also a lack of knowledge about several concepts and practices, especially concerning the potential contribution to patient care. The topic of environmental sustainability in healthcare and surgery is still in its infancy. There is a clear lack of salient guidance and knowledge, and there is a critical need for governments, institutions, health agencies, and scientific societies to promote, disseminate, and report environmentally friendly initiatives and their potential impacts while employing an interdisciplinary approach.

我们准备好迎接“绿色手术”以促进手术室的环境可持续性了吗？WSES STAR 调查结果


环境可持续性的重要性在所有领域都得到认可，包括医疗保健。为了实现联合国 2030 年可持续发展目标议程，医疗保健需要向更环保可持续的实践转变范式，这也将影响临床决策。该研究调查了创伤和急诊外科医生对环保习惯的看法、接受和采用。一个多学科委员会根据有关医疗保健和外科环境可持续性的最新文献创建了一项在线调查，并得到了世界急诊外科学会 （WSES） 的认可。该调查通过该协会的网站和 Twitter/X 个人资料向 917 名 WSES 成员进行了宣传。来自 55 个国家/地区的 450 名外科医生参与了调查。结果强调了对环境可持续性的普遍积极态度，但也强调了对几个概念和实践缺乏了解，尤其是关于对患者护理的潜在贡献。医疗保健和外科领域的环境可持续性主题仍处于起步阶段。显然缺乏突出的指导和知识，政府、机构、卫生机构和科学协会迫切需要采用跨学科方法促进、传播和报告环境友好型举措及其潜在影响。
