Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)

Total intravenous anesthesia with Space®plus

TIVA is a technique of general anesthesia which uses a combination of agents given via syringe pump exclusively by the intravenous route without the use of inhalation agents (Gas Anesthesia).There is a solid rationale for the use of TIVA in some patient cases where the delivery of inhaled anesthetics is impossible or disadvantageous, or in scenarios where traditional anesthetic delivery systems may be unavailable or impractical. In other cases, the use of TIVA could make the process more efficient and advantageous for the patient.

TCI model

Inhalational anesthesia

is typically applied through tracheal or laryngeal tubes. These are connected to an anesthetic vaporizer and an anesthesia machine. Typical agents are isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane.
