Abstract

Purpose of review: Climate change is an urgent public health crisis that significantly impacts disease development, health outcomes, and access to care. The major approaches to climate change are mitigation and adaptation. The purpose of this review is to discuss the effects of climate change on health and health disparities, review the carbon footprint of surgical care and discuss strategies for surgeons to reduce emissions and advocate for sustainability.

Recent findings: Recent studies increasingly demonstrate the direct and indirect health effects of climate change, including the relationship between climate and otolaryngologic disease. Within the domain of otolaryngology, we summarize findings related to climate change and health and healthcare delivery; health disparities; healthcare-associated emissions; and the role of otolaryngologists in mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis. There are many recent studies that identify impactful sustainability opportunities and initiatives for healthcare providers. Climate solutions may also reduce cost and have potential clinical benefits.

Summary: Climate change and air pollution directly impact disease burden in otolaryngology patients and are underrecognized social determinants of health. Surgeons can lead on climate change by implementing sustainability initiatives in the operating room and engaging in research and advocacy.

耳鼻喉外科的环境可持续性。

审查目的:气候变化是一场紧急的公共卫生危机，对疾病发展、健康结果和获得保健产生重大影响。应对气候变化的主要办法是减缓和适应。本综述的目的是讨论气候变化对健康和健康差异的影响，回顾外科护理的碳足迹，并讨论外科医生减少排放和倡导可持续性的策略。最近的发现:最近的研究越来越多地证明了气候变化对健康的直接和间接影响，包括气候与耳鼻喉疾病之间的关系。在耳鼻喉科领域，我们总结了与气候变化、健康和医疗保健服务相关的发现;健康差异;罹患卫生保健相关排放病;以及耳鼻喉科医生在缓解和适应气候危机中的作用。最近有许多研究为医疗保健提供者确定了有影响力的可持续性机会和举措。气候解决方案也可能降低成本并具有潜在的临床效益。总结:气候变化和空气污染直接影响耳鼻喉科患者的疾病负担，是未被充分认识的健康社会决定因素。外科医生可以通过在手术室实施可持续发展倡议，参与研究和宣传，来引领气候变化。
