Sevoflurane based inhalational anaesthesia is the preferred mode of anesthesia for small
duration cases. But in recent times, concept of rapid discharge, day care procedures, and
green environment has created the need of new modalities of anaesthesia for such cases.
Considering such factor, investigators have planned using TIVA i.e. total intravenous
anaesthesia with Inj. Propofol and Inj. Dexmedetomidine infusions for maintenance of
anesthesia in Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). By comparing the two modalities of
anaesthesia i.e. TIVA vs Inhalational investigators are trying to find out whether TIVA is
feasible, cost effective and comparable to inhalational anaesthesia in terms of
intraoperative hemodynamic stability, pain, intraoperative awareness and recovery profile.
This comparison and analysis will help to determine if TIVA can be used as the sole mode of
anaesthesia during MRM as it will initiate early discharge of patient and will contribute to
the Green OT concept.
