Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA)

Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) is a method used to induce and maintain anesthesia during surgeries without using inhaled gases. Instead, medications are delivered directly into the bloodstream through an IV. This approach allows for precise control of anesthesia levels, often leading to quicker recovery times and fewer side effects. TIVA is particularly beneficial for patients with breathing issues or those undergoing outpatient procedures. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient throughout the process, ensuring safety and comfort until they wake up after the surgery.
