Abstract
The use of TIVA is associated with some additional workload for the anaesthetist, particularly before the start of the anaesthetic when all the necessary equipment must be found and assembled, drugs should be drawn up and checked, and infusion pumps programmed. This extra effort compared with the preparation required for inhalational anaesthesia is considered by many to be worthwhile for many reasons, one of which is the pleasant and smooth nature of the recovery.
