TLDR
The advantages of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have emerged and driven change in practice as mentioned in this paper, and these advantages will justify why TIVA will supercede inhalational anesthesia in future pediatric anesthetic practice.
Abstract
Inhalational anesthesia has dominated the practice of pediatric anesthesia. However, as the introduction of agents such as propofol, short-acting opioids, midazolam, and dexmedetomidine a monumental change has occurred. With increasing use, the overwhelming advantages of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have emerged and driven change in practice. These advantages, outlined in this review, will justify why TIVA will supercede inhalational anesthesia in future pediatric anesthetic practice.

Principles of total intravenous anaesthesia: practical aspects of using total intravenous anaesthesia

TL;DR: TIVA confers many advantages over a conventional volatile technique, particularly a better recovery profile with reduced risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and can facilitate intraoperative wake-up while retaining amnesia.

Practicalities of Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Target-controlled Infusion in Children.

TL;DR: The use of processed electroencephalographic monitoring is helpful in pediatric total intravenous anesthesia and target-controlled infusion anesthesia, particularly in the presence of neuromuscular blockade.

Paediatric total intravenous anaesthesia

TL;DR: Despite a number of obstacles, TIVA has increasingly established a significant role in surgery in or around the airway (e.g. ENT) by obtunding airway reflexes and is a mandatory technique when inhalation agents are contraindicated.

A follow-up survey of total intravenous anesthesia usage in children in the U.K. and Ireland.

TL;DR: Total intravenous anesthesia usage in children remains relatively unpopular in the UK and Ireland and only 26% of Consultants used a propofol infusion at least once a month.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Douglas G. Altman, +1 more
- 19 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is wrong and unwise to interpret so many negative trials as providing evidence of the ineffectiveness of new treatments, and one must seriously question whether the absence of evidence is a valid justification for inaction.

The effects of increasing plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine in humans.

TL;DR: In this article, the responses to increasing plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine in humans were determined, and 10 healthy men (20-27 yr) provided informed consent and were monitored (underwent electrocardiography, measured arterial, central venous [CVP] and pulmonary artery [PAP] pressures,

Pharmacokinetic model driven infusion of propofol in children

TL;DR: A computer controlled infusion device for propofol was used to induce and maintain general anaesthesia in 20 children undergoing minor surgical procedures and it was found that the values obtained were systematically overpredicted by the delivery system algorithm.

The Influence of Method of Administration and Covariates on the Pharmacokinetics of Propofol in Adult Volunteers

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that method of administration (bolus vs. infusion), but not EDTA, influences the pharmacokinetics of propofol, and within the clinically relevant range, the kinetics of Propofol during infusions are linear regarding infusion rate.

Sedative, amnestic, and analgesic properties of small-dose dexmedetomidine infusions.

TL;DR: Small-dose dexmedetomidine infusions resulted in reversible sedation, mild analgesia, and memory impairment without cardiorespiratory compromise, and these properties might prove useful in a postoperative or intensive care unit setting.
