Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is one of the methods of general anesthesia and has been widely used in clinical practice. In order to further promote the standardized application of TIVA in China, the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology of the Chinese Medical Association organized experts to formulate the "Clinical practice guidelines for total intravenous anesthesia in China(2024 edition)". After the collection and selection of clinical questions, the working group conducted rigorous searches of the literature, formed recommendations, and finally reached a consensus. A total of 22 recommendations were made on 12 clinical issues, including the indications, contraindications and advantages of TIVA, the depth of anesthesia monitoring during implementation, the pharmacological characteristics of intravenous anesthetic drugs, the selection and use of drugs in target and non-target controlled infusion modes, and the precautions for the application of TIVA in special populations, thus providing guidance for anesthesiologists to standardize the implementation of TIVA.
