Anesthesia management using ROP-1680 AsisTIVA : a case report

Abstract

AsisTIVA is total intravenous anesthesia support software for syringe pump control. It remains the only automated program to have achieved both practical and commercial viability. AsisTIVA has been certified for use at Tokushima University, Tohoku University, and at its developer institution, Fukui University. We conducted our initial anesthesia management with AsisTIVA at Tokushima University. This initial experience was successful, with no adverse effects. AsisTIVA controls propofol and remifentanil concentrations to maintain a Bispectral index of 45 and adjusts rocuronium concentrations to maintain a Train Of Four value of 1. By managing these anesthetics, AsisTIVA allows anesthesiologists to focus on other aspects of anesthesia management. Its use is expected to expand further. J. Med. Invest. 72 : 211-216, February, 2025
