    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Anesthesia scavenging systems are crucial for waste gas removal.
    • Expiratory obstruction poses a significant risk to patient safety during anesthesia.
    • Current monitoring methods for scavenging systems may lack comprehensive functional checks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new safety block for anesthesia scavenging systems.
    • To enhance patient safety by preventing expiratory obstruction.
    • To provide anaesthetists with improved system monitoring capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a novel safety block mechanism.
    • Integration of visual and auditory indicators for system feedback.
    • Testing of the safety block's efficacy in preventing obstruction and monitoring function.
