  • Title: The Leiden scavenging system: A simple and versatile apparatus to control air pollution in operating rooms.
    Author: Rejger V, Burm AG, Spierdijk J, Strokap H.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1981 Dec; 53(12):1359-63. PubMed ID: 6947807.
    Abstract:
    A scavenging system which can be attached to a variety of anaesthetic machines and ventilators is described. Gas venting can occur via a central vacuum system, a suitable injector, fan or pump, through the exhaust duct of an air-conditioning system, or by a passive system. The resistance and back pressures applied to the anaesthetic apparatus are negligible. Leakage tests showed that the collected gases and vapours were substantially removed by the scavenging device.
