Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is a method of administering anesthesia using only intravenous medications, without the use of inhaled gases. This technique allows for precise control over the depth of anesthesia by continuously infusing medications such as propofol, opioids, and muscle relaxants. TIVA is often preferred in certain patient populations, such as those with respiratory issues or a history of adverse reactions to inhaled anesthetics. Target controlled infusions (TCI) are a type of TIVA where the infusion rate of medications is controlled by a computerized pump to achieve a specific target concentration in the blood. This technology allows for more accurate dosing and titration of medications based on the individual patient's characteristics, such as age, weight, and comorbidities. By combining TIVA with TCI, anesthesiologists can provide a safe and effective method of anesthesia that is tailored to each patient's needs, resulting in improved outcomes and reduced risk of complications.
