NCT ID NCT07252973

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will observe anaesthesia techniques used in European hospitals to understand their environmental impact. Researchers will record the type of anaesthesia given to 2,000 patients, including children and adults, during routine procedures. The goal is to see how often eco-friendly methods like regional anaesthesia or low-flow gas settings are used, helping guide future recommendations to reduce carbon emissions.
