An Introduction to Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System: What You Need to Know?
Anesthesia Gas Scavenging Systems The Anaesthesia Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) is a crucial part of the anaesthesia machine that stops anaesthetic gases from escaping into the environment while surgery is being performed. Waste gases from the breathing circuit are intended to be collected and removed by the system, avoiding their escape into the atmosphere. The AGSS is often referred to as a waste gas disposal system or an evacuation system. The Anaesthesia Gas Scavenging System functions by sucking the waste gases from the breathing circuit and delivering them to a disposal system or centralised gas scavenging system using a vacuum pump. The disposal device, which can be active or passive, scavenges the anaesthetic gases by absorbing, adsorbing, or condensing them before venting them into the atmosphere or an exhaust system. A vacuum pump, gas inlet, scavenging interface, exhaust system, and disposal unit are some of the parts that make up the AGSS. The system that generates ne
