下班时关闭医院CT扫描仪会减少能源使用、成本及排放, Turning off hospital CT scanners during off-hours cuts energy use, costs, and emissions without harming care.

根据涉及多家医院的一项研究,医院的CT扫描仪比普通家庭使用更多的能源,但在非工作时间和周末关闭这些扫描器会大大减少能源使用、成本和排放,而不会损害病人的护理。 CT scanners in hospitals use more energy than an average household, but turning them off during off-hours and weekends significantly cuts energy use, costs, and emissions without harming patient care, according to a study involving multiple hospitals. 研究人员发现,不使用一台扫描仪就关闭了一台扫描仪,使电耗降低到与典型家庭相当的水平,对工作流程和应急准备没有负面影响。 Researchers found that shutting down one scanner when not in use reduced power consumption to levels comparable to a typical home, with no negative impact on workflow or emergency readiness. 这一做法已在几家医院采用,这是更广泛地推动通过减少成像、麻醉气体、药品废物和单一用途用品的排放,使保健更加可持续的努力的一部分。 The practice has been adopted at several hospitals, part of a broader push to make healthcare more sustainable by reducing emissions from imaging, anesthesia gases, pharmaceutical waste, and single-use supplies. 前线工作人员在研究的支持下,正在推动这些变革,证明高质量的护理和环境责任能够共存,推动全球努力实现净零保健系统。 Frontline staff, supported by research, are driving these changes, proving that high-quality care and environmental responsibility can coexist, advancing global efforts toward net-zero healthcare systems.
