Comparison of Total Intravenous, Balanced Inhalational and Combined Intravenous-Inhalational Anaesthesia for Tympanoplasty, Septorhinoplasty and Adenotonsillectomy

Inhalational or total intravenous anaesthesia: is total intravenous anaesthesia useful and are there economic benefits?

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The comparison of inhalational and intravenous anaesthesia has been the subject of many controlled trials and meta-analyses. These reported diverse endpoints typically including measures of the speed and quality of induction of anaesthesia, haemodynamic changes, operating conditions, various measures of awakening, postoperative nausea and vomiting and discharge from the recove...

General Anesthesia: Intravenous and Inhalational Agents

Anesthesia usually involves a loss of memory and awareness, along with insensitivity to painful stimuli, during a surgical procedure. Many drugs aid anesthesiologists in the management and comfort of their patients during the perioperative period. These compounds vary in their chemical and physical characteristics and in their usual routes of administration. There are inhalational agents, inclu...

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

Robotic laparoscopic radical cystectomy inhalational versus total intravenous anesthesia: a pilot study.

BACKGROUND Robotic assistance may refine laparoscopic radical cystectomy. Steep Trendelenburg tilt (TT) and pneumoperitoneum (PP) are challenging anesthesia maneuvers. In view of those maneuvers, would inhalational anesthesia or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) be the more appropriate anesthetic management for this kind of surgery? This issue is under consideration in this clinical trial. ...

Total intravenous anaesthesia in children

The use of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in children has become a popular technique for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia following the introduction of newer short-acting drugs and more elaborate delivery systems. Advances in microprocessor technology and increased complexity of pharmacokinetic modelling have further refined TIVA to target controlled infusions (TCI). TCI deliv...
