How much propofol is in TIVA?

A target of 5–6 μg. ml−1 will usually be sufficient for rapid induction of anaesthesia. When switching to TIVA following a gaseous induction it is important to avoid an inadequate effect-site concentration. This may be achieved by setting an initial propofol target of 4 μg.

What rate do you start propofol?

The rate of DIPRIVAN administration should be determined based on the patient’s premedication and adjusted according to clinical responses. A rapid bolus induction should be avoided. A slow rate of approximately 20 mg every 10 seconds until induction onset (0.5 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg) should be used.

When do you stop propofol during TIVA?

H. For sedation, start with an infusion only (no bolus) and titrate to level of wakefulness, respiratory rate, etc. I. Don’t turn off the infusion until 5-10 minutes before the operation is finished.

How do you titrate propofol drip?

1. Initial dose: 5 mcg/kg/min IV infusion for at least 5 minutes.
2. Titration: can be titrated in 5-10mcg/kg/min increments to achieve the desired level of sedation, up to a maximum dose of 80mcg/kg/min.

How many patients are given propofol for Tiva?

Methods: Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive either total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol/remifentanil or anaesthesia with sevoflurane/fentanyl.

How to calculate the dose of propofol in an IV?

250 / 10 x 1 = 25 2) Calculate an IV a maintenance infusion of propofol (10 mg/mL) on a patient weighing 80 kilograms via a volumetric IV pump that delivers in mL/hr. For our purposes, use the lower limit of 50 mcg/kg/min.

How many milligrams of remifentanil to inject Tiva?

After premedication (midazolam) and induction of anesthesia (propofol, atracurium) in both groups, either 1 microgram/kg fentanyl (S/F) or 1 microgram/kg remifentanil (P/R) was injected.

When do you turn off the propofol infusion?

Infusion: Start at 140-200 µg/kg/min At 10 minutes: 100\140 µg/kg/min After 2 hours: 80-120 µg/kg/min Turn off propofol infusion about 5-10 minutes prior to the desired time of emergence. Give 1-2 cc boluses as needed to keep patient asleep until the desired time of emergence. Propofol Dosing Caveats I. Induction: A.
