Total intravenous anaesthesia TIVA - when and how - for Nurses

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) involves the maintenance of general anaesthesia using only injectable anaesthetic drugs, rather than the more traditional practice of using inhalant agents. In some situations, such as work in remote areas, this technique is of a practical advantage. In other cases, for example, severe neurological disease or during some respiratory procedures, TIVA is a safer option compared to inhalational anaesthesia. 
This webinar will cover indications, delivery techniques, and drug options for TIVA of dogs and cats. We will also discuss monitoring and supportive care that is necessary to ensure safe practice during TIVA in small animals.

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.
