Abstract

Time and again the use of innovative surgical techniques confronts anaesthetists with the task of selecting the most suitable type of anaesthesia for the respective procedure, adapting it to the new requirements and ensuring dependable perioperative patient care by means of a patient-oriented, continuous improvement process. The aim of this paper is give a presentation – from practitioners for practitioners – of the standardised anaesthetic procedure that was developed at our hospital and has proven successful in over 1,500 operations, as well as its special features in connection with use of the Da Vinci.
