About this title

From the Back Cover:

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) has long been used for specialized surgery, but recent developments in monitoring and delivery and the availability of the intravenous anaesthetic protocol have opened the door to widespread application.

This new addition to the Principles and Practice series is a straightforward introduction to TIVAA, starting with the basic pharmokinetic and dynamic principles and moving on to an overview of the pharmacology of the major intravenous anaesthetic drug groups. The importance of drug interactions are stressed and there is a discussion of the latest technology in delivery and monitoring-such as target controlled infusions and EEG bispectral monitoring systems.

Written by key specialists from the UK and the USA, this practical reference will be an essential introduction for all anaesthetic and intensive care trainees, and will enable anaesthetists to keep up to date on the rapid expansion of TIVA in clinical practice.
