Target controlled infusion

Target-controlled infusion (TCI) automates the dosing of intravenous drugs during surgery. After the anesthetist sets the desired parameters in a computer and presses the start button, the system controls the infusion pump, while being monitored by the anesthetist.[1] TCI is as safe and effective as manually controlled infusion.[2][3]

History

TCI has been used in clinical settings since 1996, initially with propofol.[4]
