Total intravenous anaesthesia in children
نویسنده
چکیده
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 delivery systems offer a continuously variable rate of intravenous drug administration, conferring advantages including greater haemodynamic stability, a stable depth of anaesthesia, and a rapid recovery with a low incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting. This review will describe the development of TIVA and TCI for paediatric anaesthesia, the pharmacology of the common agents used, and possible future directions for the use of TIVA. 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The technique of intraosseous (IO) infusion has been reemerged as an alternative route of intravascular access for the delivery of fluids and some medications. Complications of IO infusion occur rarely and include fractures and osteomyelitis after long-term use of IO access. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of induction of anaesthesia by a standard intravenous route and a...
متن کاملWhich model for propofol TCI in children.
For several years, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has demonstrated many advantages that allow consideration of propofol anesthesia as an interesting alternative in pediatric anesthesia. TIVA in children requires calculation and validation of pharmacokinetic (PK) models specifically adapted to the pediatric population. Several PK models based on a 3-compartment approach have been proposed i...

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is defined as a technique of general anaesthesia using a combination of agents given solely by the intravenous route and in the absence of inhalational agents. This article reviews the indications, advantages and disadvantages, principle, mode of administration, clinical techniques and drugs used for TIVA. Total intravenous anesthesia, or TIVA, can provide a...
متن کاملUpdate on TIVA.
Mehernoor Watcha, over 10 years ago, wrote an article for Current Opinion entitled ‘Intravenous anaesthesia for paediatric patients’ (1). The main focus of the article was on the agents suitable for intravenous (i.v.) anesthesia and in 10 years only one new drug has been added to the list, remifentanil. Propofol, the main feature of Watcha’s paper, still is not indicated for use in children <3 ...
