Reducing costs and increasing efficiencies will become possible with new energy-efficient operating theatre technology from Jones AV<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Healthcare accounts for 4% of UK greenhouse emissions and similar levels globally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hospitals occupy a large share of this output. With operating theatres being a hefty contributor to hospital CO<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0emissions, greener surgery technologies need to be implemented now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several factors contribute to the high emissions we see from the healthcare sector, such as the heavy use of high-energy devices, anaesthetic gases, the high churn of intraoperative single-use equipment, instrument decontamination, and many others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With minimally invasive surgeries constantly increasing, whether formal or robotic, the requirement for more remote and online teaching and training capabilities and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openaccessgovernment.org\/integrated-operating-theatres\/75170\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integrated operating theatre systems<\/a>\u00a0are seeing a real upturn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While improving theatre capabilities and efficiencies, and helping to reduce the UK backlog, one of the downsides of deploying more technology into the operating theatres is increasing the carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is Jones AV\u2019s aim regarding healthcare\u2019s energy-efficiency future?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the climate crisis being high on everyone\u2019s agenda and continued NetZero Healthcare pledges announced around the globe, there is a need for new technology to facilitate this desired change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jones AV set out to deliver the benefits of different technology in helping toreduce carbon footprints and refurbish existing installations.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">An integrated operating theatre system<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">JAV Medical Systems is proud to launch the first Near Net Zero integrated operating theatre system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After 18 months of research and development, the new system will help optimise designs to increase their technical performances and decrease energy consumption to below 75% of comparable systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, huge efforts were made to optimise many different components such as:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>Improving supply chains<\/li>\n<li>Evaluating better energy performance components<\/li>\n<li>Finding suppliers with easier recyclable or less packaging<\/li>\n<li>Assessing use of recycled materials as part of new devices<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing shipping and transport<\/li>\n<li>Developing more intelligent software<\/li>\n<li>Reducing the total numbers of components used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Using less cabling and natural resources in the building process<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring a circular approach to electronics component lifecycle management<\/li>\n<li>Offsetting any residual CO<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Increasing these operational efficiencies allows more surgeries to occur in the same timeframe, driving down waiting lists and decreasing the pre-surgery energy usage and CO<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0footprint.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using greener surgery in the push towards an energy-efficiency future<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new systems measure ongoing energy performance, noticing if residual energy consumption deviates from original targets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, we aim to invest in offset measures for each installed system whilst continually striving to better the system\u2019s overall energy performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the most significant and welcome side effects of the new technology is the overall reduction in operating costs. Electricity consumption can be seen to drop below a quarter of its original price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, savings of up to \u00a35000 in running costs per annum, making a case for green investment into a new NetZero Integrated system even more compelling.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new \u201cintegrated theatre of things\u201d and the future of surgery<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new \u201cintegrated theatre of things\u201d comes with all the advantages of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openaccessgovernment.org\/remote-healthcare\/143443\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">superior teaching capabilities and remote surgical assistance<\/a>, recording procedures and storing intraoperative video and images to the digital patient file for improved post-operative care and surgical analytics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By using JAV Medical Systems you can achieve NetZero Targets and get the latest and best technology available while saving thousands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-82460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carilec.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/OAG-300x94.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carilec.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/OAG-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/carilec.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/OAG.png 373w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 3, 2023 Greener surgery practices must be integrated into healthcare systems now.
