Comparative StudyTotal intravenous anesthesia and spontaneous respiration for airway endoscopy in children--a prospective evaluation.
Inhalational anesthesia with spontaneous respiration is traditionally used to facilitate airway endoscopy in children. The potential difficulties in maintaining adequate depth of anesthesia using inhalational anesthesia and the anesthetic pollution of the surgical environment are significant disadvantages of this technique. We report our institutional experience using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and spontaneous respiration. ⋯ TIVA and spontaneous respiration is an effective technique to manage anesthesia for airway endoscopy and surgery in children.
