Comparison of Recovery Profile for Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) Using Propofol And Remifentanil in Laparoscopic Surgeries
Abstract: Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) has become an increasingly preferred technique in modern anaesthetic practice due to advantages such as reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), improved hemodynamic stability, minimal environmental impact, and faster recovery compared to conventional inhalational anesthesia. Propofol in combination with remifentanil is widely used for TIVA because of its rapid onset and offset of action, which supports quick postoperative awakening and enhanced patient satisfaction. Target Controlled Infusion …
