No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Environmental awareness leads medical field to question its responsibility and possibilities for action.

Drug residues can have a major environmental impact as per their bioaccumulation, toxicity and persistence characteristics, depending on where they are discarded. In France, drug residues should be disposed of by incineration, but in practice, this is not systematic. Moreover, data on drug wastage in Intensive Care Units (ICU) are rare.

GAME-OVER observational study aims to evaluate drug wastage in ICU in France and to suggest ways to improve health care practices.
