IARS Membership
The International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) has established new membership categories for early-career and allied health members as well as discounted membership options for anesthesia professionals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). We hope you and your members will take advantage of these new membership options and the resources that come with IARS membership.

View the IARS membership categories and join.

IARS membership offers:

With support from members and attendees of our Annual Meeting, IARS is able to offer the following resources free to the global anesthesiology community:

  • Free membership for fellows, trainees, medical students and others in training.
  • Free live webinars led by thought leaders on important topics in anesthesiology and global health.
  • Free library of select articles, podcasts and videos from A&A.
  • Free comprehensive podcasts, vodcasts and topic summaries on the OpenAnesthesia® website.

International obServational sTudy on AiRway manaGement in operAting room and non- operaTing room anesthEsia (STARGATE Study).

This is an international prospective cohort study aiming at tracing the current practice of airway management during anesthesia worldwide. A large international expert panel and Network is already in place and, to date, more than 2500 patients have been already enrolled.

This study will represent an important database and landmark achievement in understanding how evidence is implemented in daily practice and current safety standards of airway management worldwide. 

It would be great to have members of your Society in our team and we would also consider the inclusion of a National Coordinator if a significant number of centers from your country would join us. 

If feasible, we would also apply for the study endorsement of your Society.

You can find more information in the study website: www.stargatestudy.com

Clinical guideline on reversal of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with life threatening bleeding

Dear members of NASC,

Members of all National Anaesthesia Societies are invited to comment on the new draft guidelines “Clinical guideline on reversal of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with life threatening bleeding” and we would appreciate your input. 

These guidelines are produced as a service to ESAIC members and are offered to national anaesthesia societies for local adaptation as desired.

You can access the draft guideline directly on this link.

This document will be available until 14 September 2023.  You are invited to comment on the draft guideline through the online comment form.

We would be especially interested to read your thoughts on the following points:

·       Practicality: How well do the guidelines address everyday situations and problems in this area?

·       Readability: Are the guidelines easy to read? Do they make sense? 

·       Presentation: Is the layout clear? 

·       Acceptability and generalizability: Do they fit into practice in your own country?  Would the guidelines as written cause problems, or antagonise anyone?

Finally, please declare any conflicts of interests (e.g. relevant industry connections or funding) when you submit your comments as these will be shared with the authors.

The guideline will be available for comment for 4 weeks from the date of this email.

All comments will be received by Dr. Oliver Grottke, Chairperson of the Task Force for this guidelines.

Many thanks for your help.

Chair, ESAIC Guidelines Committee

Dear Colleague,

We would like you to consider participating in the BlueBerry study. This academic study, on the initiative of Pr Habré, University of Geneva, will analyze the safety profile of dexamethasone after tonsillectomy in children compared to placebo. We are currently submitting this study to our Ethics Committee, as well as to the Belgian authorities. In that, we can act as National Coordinator for this study. If you would like to participate in this study, please send us an email with your contact details as soon as possible before March 10th. We can then include your center in the submission. Please refer to the leaflet available here for further information.

Please send your mail to: françoise.degroote@huderf.be, who will act as National Coordinator.

Do not send an email to the Swiss center as they will not handle the submission in Belgium.

Best regards,
