Attitudes to intravenous infusion anaesthesia

Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (tiva) and Partial Intravenous Anaesthesia (piva)

Comparison of target controlled infusion and total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil for lumbar microdiscectomy.

BACKGROUND Propofol is often combined with remifentanil for induction and maintenance of total intravenous anaesthesia. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) permits adapting infusion to pharmacokinetic models. In this study we compared depth of anaesthesia, haemodynamic variables and times to recovery in patients scheduled for lumbar microdiscectomy and receiving either manually controlled (group I...

Total Intravenous Anaesthesia in dogs: Development of a Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) scheme for propofol

Recent advances in intravenous anaesthesia.

Efforts to develop new hypnotic compounds continue, although several have recently failed in development. Propofol has been reformulated in various presentations with and without preservatives. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences exist between some of these preparations, and it is currently unclear whether any have substantial advantages over the original presentation. The use of ta...
