## What is iTIVA Anesthesia?

TRY IT FOR FREE, 10 USES WITHOUT TIME RESTRICTIONS!

iTIVA is a simulation program that provides information about distribution of drugs based on mathematical models, and it simulate the behavior of a TCI pump (up to 3 drugs at time), obtaining infusion rates to reach and maintain a stable target effect site concentration, those schemes can be implemented in volumetric infusion pumps, and be guided with pharmacokinetics models.
So now pharmacokinetics can become an easy topic and understanding what is going on during a infusion of a intravenous drug, too.

Pharmacokinetic models

iTIVA include 11 drugs and 40 pharmacokinetic models, that are updated continuously:

-Remifentanil
	Adults: Minto , Eleveld, Kim	
	Kids:    Rigby-Jones, Eleveld, Ross

-Fentanyl 	
	Adults: Shafer, Scott 	
	Kids:    Ginsberg, Encinas (Neonates)

-Sufentanil 	
	Adults: Gepts, Bovill 	
	Kids:    Greely

-Alfentanil 	
	Adults: Maitre

-Ketamine	
	Adults: Domino, Clements-250
 	Kids:    Herd, Elkomy

-Procaine
	Adults: Seifen

-Lidocaine 
	Adults: Dyck, Schnider

-Propofol 
	Adults: Schnider, Eleveld, Marsh, Cortinez
 	Kids:    Peadfusor, Kataria, Eleveld

• WARNING:

iTIVA is not designed to handle intravenous drugs for individual patients. Its use is limited to educational purposes to demonstrate pharmacokinetic principles when performing intravenous anesthesia. Therefore the user assumes all risks from the use of this application for clinical purposes. 
Infusion schemes are obtained from concentrations based on models published in the medical literature; therefore concentrations achieved from these schemes can vary widely, in the same manner for clinical effects.
This application should only be used by people with extensive knowledge in Anesthesiology.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2023-07-24, version 3.5*

Muy buena

### 1/5 — Low class app

*2022-10-24*

It’s a very low class app

**Developer response:** This is the first version of iTIVA, the new version is iTIVA Plus, with many new features, but some old users still prefer this version, so this is the reason why it is still available.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2020-01-31, version 3.5*

Una app interactiva y práctica.  Fácil de usar. Saludos

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-12-18*

This a great app, it works fine, but I guess that’s a problem calculating CL2 in Eleveld 2 protocol.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review, I checked your concern and the model internally is working right, but there is a problem when showing the correct CL2 in all models in the Popup window, not just for Eleveld. But for practical purposes, the App works correctly. Thank you again for your review, I will fix that issue. I suggest using the newest version, iTIVA plus

### 1/5 — It is a bad app

*2019-05-08*

It Doesn't delivery what they mean to do.
Far of a good app 
Don't worth buying

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your comments, please tell us what do you mean when you said "it doesn't delivery what they mean to do"
There is a new version of this App, "iTIVA Plus". We updated this App from zero, with new drugs and functions. Please contact us: david@itiva.co

Great and complete App still
My opinion David 
Friendly M.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2018-03-27, version 3.4.2*

Muy buen programa para administrar anestesia de forma técnica y no recurriendo al “arte”.

### 4/5 — Itiva

*2018-01-26, version 3.4.2*

La anterior versión era mejor, por que el propofol funcionaba de la misma forma que el remifentanyl. Ahora el propofol es manual. Por favor vuelvan a la versión anterior

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2017-08-20, version 3.2*

Muy útil en la práctica diaria
