European Society for Intravenous Anaesthesia

Message of the Chairman

It has been an honor and a challenge to succeed Gavin Kenny and Stefan Schraag as chairman of EuroSIVA. However, my task is not so difficult as we have kept most of the inaugural Board of Directors active, and we now have Hernan Boveri and Hugo Vereecke as new members.

TIVA with TCI and adequate multimodal monitoring has a promising Future. New pumps, better models, and versatile monitors that assess the adequacy of the anesthetic level constitute a perfect anesthetic approach, fitting with the modern concept of Precision Medicine and global environmental concerns.

EuroSIVA will continue to promote educational programs and gather all those interested in learning more about TIVA, anesthetic pharmacology, and multimodal perioperative monitoring. All are welcome: medical students, physicians, basic scientists and clinical researchers, anesthetic nurses and technicians, industry representatives, the youngest, experts, skeptics, lovers, mentors, and mentees.
