Taking on TIVA. Why we need guidelines on total intravenous anaesthesia.

An editorial is presented which discusses guidelines on total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA). It mentions that TIVA guidelines provide some guidance on target concentrations but emphasise the importance of titration. It states that pre-oxygenation can be achieved safely under light and moderate propofol sedation when cricoid pressure can be applied and the dose increased to loss of consciousness.
