Anesthetic pollution and waste anesthetic gas scavenging
1Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Ohio State University, Columbus 43210.
Abstract:
The significance of chronic exposure to anesthetic pollution for veterinarians and their associates is not well defined, but one cannot ignore the evidence that a potential occupational health hazard exists. Installation of a scavenging system can reduce anesthetic pollution and personnel exposure to waste gases significantly. However, it is important to realize that these systems are not a replacement for safe anesthetic practices and are only effective when used correctly and maintained properly.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
