Changes in travel-related carbon emissions associated with modernization of services for patients with acute myocardial infarction: a case study
Alexis Zander, Aphrodite Niggebrugge, David Pencheon, Georgios Lyratzopoulos, Public Health (2010) doi: 10.1093/pubmed/fdq048 First published online: June 16, 2010. We estimated carbon emissions associated with ambulance (patient) transport under a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) care model based in tertiary centres, compared with historical emissions under a thrombolysis model based in general hospitals. We used geographical information on 41 449 hospitalizations, and published UK government fuel to carbon emissions conversion factors.
