On the basis of data from literature and author’s own experiments, characteristics of anesthesia by a continuous infusion have presented. This type of procedure reduces the potent dose of short-acting anesthetics. Their clinical specificity is better used and their disadvantageous influence on respiratory and cardiovascular function partly eliminated. Continuous administering of a low concentrate solution of agents is safer than a traditional way of application (dosis singularis). The described method allows for a more effective control of the level and time of surgical tolerance.
