Total amount of carbon dioxide equivalents produced by 50 patients operated under inhalational anesthesia (kg)
| Anesthetic gases | Total consumption (Group I)=50 patients | Density of agents (kg)/1000 L | Weight (kg)=Density×volume (L) | GWP100 | CO2e (kg)=Weight (kg) × GWP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrous oxide | 4305 L | 1.97 | 8.52 kg | 310 | 2641.2 |
| Sevoflurane | 788 ml | 130 | 154.448 | ||
| Total | 2795.648 |
GWP=Global warming potential, CO2e=Carbon dioxide equivalents
