About Us

The European Society for Intravenous anaesthesia

Welcome to the European Society of Intravenous Anaesthesia!

 

Since its foundation in 1998, the aim of EuroSIVA has been to promote the understanding of intravenous pharmacology to clinicians and other health care providers. We are devoted and passionate about teaching, education and research. EuroSIVA provides practical clinical knowledge derived from translational science and applied pharmacology to underpin the best practice in TIVA and target controlled infusion (TCI) for anaesthetists, anaesthetic nurse practitioners and pump developers.

Every period has its own interesting facets. The world of intravenous anaesthesia is emerging further and going fast with developments in pump technology, new drugs and formulations and our improved knowledge of drug effect and monitoring. The open TCI initiative has been successfully tackling challenges with pharmacokinetic models.

 I hope you enjoy this website and I am looking forward for your feedback.

 

With best wishes,

 

Stefan Schraag

  • What is EuroSIVA?

    The European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) has emerged as the
    pre-eminent scientific Society for Anaesthesiologists in Europe and there was a desire to develop an associated European Society for Intravenous Anaesthesia with the responsibility to co-ordinate, facilitate and to provide high quality presentations and cutting edge information related to TIVA. EuroSIVA is a foundation and registered in The Netherlands.

     

    The foundation aims to develop and promote the highest quality of education for those involved in drugs administered intravenously and to develop programs for introducing these new techniques into the standard curriculum and examination system in the individual countries. Within Europe, many of these aims have been achieved and regular raining courses have now been established.

  • Aim of EuroSIVA

    The aim of EuroSIVA is to bring all those with a major interest in the development, research and education of intravenou anaesthesia under one European organisation. We welcome you to take part in many activities, such as scientific and educational meetings, interactive discussions on our website and exchange of research in intravenous pharmacology. EuroSIVA communicates with similar organisations across the globe and facilitates close contacts. Welcome to the European Society of Intravenous Anaesthesia!

  • Mission Statement

    “To promote the highest standards of practice in intravenous anaesthetic pharmacology and drug delivery through education, research and professional development in its broadest sense throughout Europe.”
