The Sustainable Healthcare Coalition's produced a case study of a life cycle assessment for continuous renal replacment therapy (CRRT) using the Baxter PrismaFlex.

Carbon footprint of 72 hours of Prismaflex CRRT treatment = 113 kg CO2-eq

The majority of these emissions (78%) are from manufacture and supply of the fluid bags.
