There are more (loads more) but my brain&#39;s too tired to think!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The scavenging system is how waste anaesthetic gases are taken out of the system. Can be by a piece of tubing connecting to outside, an activated charcoal canister which absorbs the waste anaesthetic gases and must be replaced when exhausted or by an active scavenging system where the waste gases are actively sucked away.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Might be a good idea to have a look in a vet nursing textbook which will explain these things far better than I can!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/122304?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:52:06 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d99d7fd2-380d-4921-87d0-a9e288d27009Katie Mansfield<p>Hello Lisa, welcome to our forum.
