Vanderbilt Anesthesiololgy

Vanderbilt anesthesiologists James Berry, MD, and Leland Lancaster, MD, were recently spotlighted on Fox National News for their development of the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System (DGSS), technology which can have a dramatic impact on both the environment and the economy.

The system, invented by Berry, professor of anesthesiology, along with Lancaster, assistant in anesthesiology, and Steve Morris, M.D., of the University of Mississippi Medical Center, collects air that contains exhaled anesthetic and condenses it, enabling it to be captured and recycled. VMC is the first in the country to do pilot testing with the DGSS system, and the first in the world to recycle anesthetics via condensation.
