    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) pose occupational and environmental risks.
    • Current methods for WAG collection from T-piece systems can be complex or costly.
    • Effective WAG management is crucial in operating rooms and recovery areas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an inexpensive and convenient method for collecting waste gases.
    • To provide a practical solution for WAG scavenging from T-piece systems.
    • To improve safety and environmental conditions in anesthesia delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple apparatus was designed to connect to the open tail of a T-piece breathing circuit.
    • Waste gases were channeled through the collection system.
