The concept of a “green ICU” is increasingly important in today’s world, as sustainability and environmental considerations become integral to healthcare practices. Hospitals, including ICUs, can have a substantial environmental footprint due to energy consumption, waste generation, and resource use.

Integrating sustainability into healthcare practices not only benefits the environment but also supports the overall mission of providing high-quality patient care. To learn more about Green ICU implementation listen to the interview with Nicole Hunfeld.
