GREEN CATHeter Lab Study

For each included case, the total waste generated will be measured in kilograms immediately after completion of the procedure and physically recorded by category in accordance with four predefined waste types: (i) paper and cardboard, (ii) regular waste (i.e., municipal solid waste or general trash), (iii) regulated medical waste (requiring specialized incineration including sharpsafe), and (iv) recyclable plastic

Simulation of a hypothetical but common practice in many hospitals, in which all waste generated during interventional procedures is disposed of as regulated medical waste, without separation.
