Explanation

TIVA stands for Total Intravenous Anesthesia. It's a method used during surgeries where all the medication needed to keep a patient asleep and pain-free is given through an IV, or a small tube in the vein. Unlike other methods, it doesn't involve using inhaled gases or a breathing tube. This technique allows for a more controlled and adjustable level of anesthesia, which can be tailored to the individual patient's needs.
