Hi, I'm confused with Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) is this General Anesthesia? or MAC? or could be both?

Erika.
 
Every anesthesiologist I have asked has stated that TIVA is general.

We also bill TIVA using general anesthesia billing guidelines, however, we separately identify TIVA in our billing program (we capture different mode techniques i.e. "spinal", "MAC" , "regional", general....) for reporting purposes.
