Total intravenous anaesthesia may be delivered by two different approaches. The old way where the drug (Propofol and/or Remifentanil) is delivered in a velocity (mg/kg x hour or microg/ kg x min) specified by the anaesthetist. Hereafter called Velocity Controlled Infusion (VCI). At induction, to get effect of the drug, a high infusion rate is desired. A high infusion rate is associated with increased risks of hypotension if it is not adjusted in accordance with the current circulatory status of the patient. A failure to adjust may be futile for the patient. Therefore, induction takes some time because infusion rate is set within a relatively safe range. After a few minutes, once airway control is achieved, the infusion rate must be adjusted down to avoid hypotension.
