[This is a Rerelease. Episode first published on November 1, 2024.]Join us for an engaging episode with Dr. Stephen Hibbs from Queen Mary University of London as he discusses the environmental impacts of hematology. Alongside our host Dr. Sarah de Vlieger, they explore how climate change is already affecting hematology, emphasizing that these effects are being felt now rather than in the future.The conversation highlights how climate change alters aspects of hematology practice, such as the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections due to evolving disease vectors. Dr. Hibbs describes also the surprising link between extreme heat during pregnancy and an increased risk of children developing ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). He further discusses practice-changing initiatives, like using sevoflurane instead of desflurane as an anesthetic to reduce environmental impact, and explains his work on improving the logistics of blood transfusions to lessen their ecological footprint.Finally, Dr. Hibbs encourages hematologists to focus on actionable steps to minimize their environmental impact, advocating for practical changes in clinical practices and increased awareness of the healthcare sector's contribution to global emissions.   Host: Dr Sarah de VliegerGuest: Dr Stephen HibbsLearn MoreWhat did you think of this podcast?
