[Use of different types of target propofol concentration-control infusion: theoretical and practical aspects].

Examinations were made in 105 patients who had undergone total intravenous anesthesia on the basis of the immune circulating components (ICC) of propofol by different pharmacokinetic models--Marsh and Schnider, by aiming at plasma or an effector zone. Along with good controllability of ICC-anesthesia, with theoretical and practical differences of the employed models are shown. The capacities of an up-to-date universal perfusor are demonstrated, by using Asena PK as an example. Practical recommendations on its application are given. The prospects of anesthesia automation are briefly discussed.
