Assessment of a medetomidine/propofol total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for clinical anaesthesia in equidae

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

Titrated total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in war.

In the Rama mobile war hospital, intravenous (i.v.) anaesthesia was used in 78 patients undergoing surgical procedures lasting 4-25 min. Boluses of thiopentone (Group 1), propofol (Group 2), propofol + alfentanyl (Group 3), and ketamine + midazolam (Group 4) were used. Induction of anaesthesia, resulted in a mean blood pressure decreased about 15%. Apnoea of more than 20 sec was observed in Gro...

Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) in Veterinary Practice

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...

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...

Volatile induction and maintenance (VIMA) versus total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for minor gynaecological procedures

We compared the techniques of volatile induction and maintenance (VIMA) and total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in various aspects. Patients undergoing spontaneous respiration-general anaesthesia were randomised into two groups; Group P received iv fentanyl 1 mg/kg and propofol 2 mg/kg for induction followed by propofol 10 mg/min as required. Group S received vital capacity induction with sevo...
