About the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia
In 2011, members of the anesthesia community who cared for transplant patients created an informal society allowing participants to share information and ideas designed to improve donor and recipient care. The intent of this society was to harness the enthusiasm and motivation of transplant anesthesiologists to drive innovation in the fields of abdominal and thoracic transplantation and intensive care. The society membership articulated 3 guiding principles: to provide a common meeting ground for scientific development, to increase anesthesia presence in related collegial transplant societies and organizations, and to advocate for the professional interests of transplant anesthesiologists.
The Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) was legally incorporated in 2016 to solidify a home base for transplant anesthesiologists. SATA endorses the concept that integrating the anesthesiologist into all aspects of transplant patient care and policy development ultimately benefits the best interests of the patients.
