Brief Summary

For many decades, inhalational agents have been commonly used for the maintenance of anesthesia in pediatric population. However, with the introduction of newer intravenous induction agents and short acting opioids have revolutionized the day care anesthesia practice and subsequently TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) has gained popularity in this patient population. (1,2,10)

 Vitreoretinal surgeries are performed in children with retinal abnormalities and generally last for a long duration of time.  Using inhalational anesthesia with Sevoflurane for such a prolonged duration has been associated with emergence agitation. (3,4)

 Manual verses TCI infusion of propofol for maintenance of anesthesia has been found comparable in children but the use of TCI is considered safe and easily titrable with BIS monitoring. (5,8)

  The use of TIVA with propofol infusion for maintenance of anesthesia in adults has shown to have a clear headed recovery.(13)

 Earlier dedicated pediatric TCI infusion model were not in common practice .Now introduction of PK based TCI models like Pedfussor and Kataria available for children.(7,11,12)

 In our knowledge No study has been done so far  to compare sevoflurane and TCI propofol infusion for maintainance of anesthesia in pediatric ophthalmic surgeries.

 We hypothesize that aneathesia administered using TCI propofol infusion in children, recovery will be clear headed  and early discharge from PACU as compared to standard inhalational technique using Sevoflurane
