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 valuable alternative to inhalation anaesthesia as one of the most important drawbacks of this technique, however, is that it pollutes the environment.
