Background & Objectives: While the use ofTotalIntravenousAnesthesia(TIVA)has expanded in the last20years,TIVAtraining has not developed equally across nations.The aim of this study was to determine the training capacity ofTIVAin Colombia. Materials & Methods: An electronic survey was designed to characterize the current training practices within registered anesthesia residency programs in Colombia.The survey was sent to164individuals who were either senior residents or anesthesia program faculty identified through the database of theSCARE.Two rounds of reminders were sent by email and to maximize the response rate non-responders were contacted by telephone by the authors. Results: A total of 113(68.9%)surveys were retrieved which included participants of all21registered anesthesia residency programs inColombia.Fifty-two(46%)respondents manifested thatTIVAtraining was part of the anesthesia curriculum of their program.The time spent in training was less than one week in5.8%(n=3),between one week and one month in50%(n=26),between one and two months in28.9%(n=15)and more than two months in15.4%(n=8).Training is planned in the first year of residency in21.2%(n=11),in the second year in28.9%(n=15)and in the third year in50%(n=26).When asked about the relevance ofTIVAtraining all respondents considered it either very important or essential(n=108,95.6%).Limitations to the development ofTIVAtraining included lack of expertise(n=79,69.9%),limited availability of infusion pumps(n=75, 66.4%),unavailability of technology to monitor the depth of anesthesia(n=70,61.9%),limited number of workshops(n=65,57.5%),increased anesthesia costs(n=34,30%),increased anesthesia time(n=16,14.2%),limited knowledge of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics(n=29,25.7%,and limited availability of medications(n=8,7.1%.Eighty-one(71.7%respondents considered themselves to be skilled in the use ofTIVA. Conclusion: TIVAtraining is not currently included as a core skill in many anesthesia residency programs in Colombia.When included,it is usually not considered a basic anesthesia skill and it is taught during the last year of the program.Its development is largely jeopardized by the limited knowledge,technology and training opportunities in this area.TIVAtraining in Colombia could be improved by establishing a set of standards across residency program curricula that includes a minimum of training in this technique,not without first addressing the limitations found for the development of educational programs.
