  Background and Aims: Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) is a method used for delivering anaesthesia since 1932. In TIVA, during Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI), the Effect-site concentration of drugs is derived from studies done in western volunteers. The targeted concentration of the drug developed on the pharmacokinetics of the western study population may not match with the Indian population. Our study was an attempt to analyse the targeted concentration of propofol in our patients who underwent Entropy targeted TCI propofol anaesthesia using a Schnider model in ablative surgeries for breast cancer. Material and Methods: A Retrospective Observational study was conducted in a tertiary cancer centre after the protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board. All patients who underwent surgeries for carcinoma breast during the period .. Read More»
