Colleague story: Driving emissions
out of the operating room

Headshot of Dr. Filip Roos

00:00:05.731 --> 00:00:07.264
When Dr. Filip Roos,
chief medical officer at

00:00:07.264 --> 00:00:08.931
HCA Healthcare's Mountain
Division, discovered that the

00:00:08.931 --> 00:00:10.680
greenhouse gases emitted
by sevoflurane (SEVO) are

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:12.288
significantly less compared
to desflurane (DES), he saw an

00:00:12.288 --> 00:00:13.763
opportunity to improve the
way our facilities care for

00:00:13.763 --> 00:00:14.946
patients - and protect our communities.

00:00:15.959 --> 00:00:17.450
Roos quickly dove into
evidence-based research, spoke to

00:00:17.450 --> 00:00:19.001
other physicians and made an
informed decision to remove DES

00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:20.575
from all Mountain Division
hospitals and surgery centers

00:00:20.575 --> 00:00:21.974
by Oct. 1, 2022 - making our
hospitals the first in Idaho

00:00:21.974 --> 00:00:23.333
and Utah to retire DES gas.

00:00:23.333 --> 00:00:25.317
Roos drove this positive change
within one month, and his

00:00:25.317 --> 00:00:27.457
work within the division is
now being scaled throughout the

00:00:27.457 --> 00:00:28.524
enterprise.

00:00:30.482 --> 00:00:32.356
"My advice to others is to
be brave because change is

00:00:32.356 --> 00:00:34.272
never easy. We are constantly
open to data-driven clinical

00:00:34.272 --> 00:00:36.164
innovations. You have to
be in today's world if you

00:00:36.164 --> 00:00:38.055
want to provide the best possible
care," says Filip Roos, MD
