British journal of anaesthesia·2016

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) presents advantages for day-case surgery.
  • TIVA can be adapted for various surgical procedures with practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review practical considerations for implementing TIVA.
  • To encourage wider adoption of TIVA by anaesthetists.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and clinical practice regarding TIVA.
  • Focus on target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems, specifically the Diprifusor for propofol.

Main Results:

  • TIVA enhances quality of recovery and reduces complications in day-case surgery.
  • Computerised infusion pumps allow precise control of anaesthetic depth.
  • The Diprifusor TCI system facilitates TIVA use.

Conclusions:

  • TIVA is a versatile anaesthetic technique with significant benefits.
  • Familiarity with TIVA and TCI systems can improve anaesthetists' confidence and patient outcomes.
