Introduction: Inhalational anesthetics are often the first choice in pediatric anesthesia. However, the most recent literature demonstrates possible advantages of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). The goal of this study was to compare the postoperative quality in children submitted to tonsillectomy under TIVA versus sevoflurane anesthesia.
