Resumo:
The total intravenous anesthesia is an anesthetic method that has been advocated in recent
years in human and veterinary medicine, which makes use of pharmacological associations
exclusively administered intravenously. This anesthetic modality is taking significant boost
after the discovery of drugs with profiles in which the pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics add safety and quality to the procedure, such as: hypnosis, analgesic,
muscle relaxation and possible use for long periods without causing harm to the patient. Can
be used in several ways: intermittent bolus administration, continuous intravenous infusion,
infusion at a constant rate, bolus dose associated with continuous infusion at a constant rate
and target controlled infusion. This study was conducted with the objective of deepening and
enhancing the knowledge regarding the employment of the total intravenous anesthesia in
small animals, their technical job, pharmacology and pharmacodynamics of drugs used, in
addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge necessary for its applicability in professional life,
adding knowledge to academic training. The absolute intravenous anesthesia brings numerous
advantages when used in veterinary anesthesiology, given the variety of different drugs and
their associations, to technological innovations that increase the quality and safety of the
procedure, allowing greater stability anesthetic.
