欧洲麻醉科医生社团合并ESA

历史上第一次，一个现存的团体代表了欧洲全体麻醉科医生，促使制定了欧洲麻醉的最高临床与科学标准。

欧洲麻醉科医师社团(ESA)、欧洲麻醉学学会(EAA)、欧洲麻醉师国家社团欧洲联邦(CENSA)已经同一为ESA。ESA当前会员超过5000，但是作为融合的结果，ESA不久将代表超过60000位的欧洲麻醉师。

ESA的总部座落于布鲁塞尔（比利时）。尽管主要是一个欧洲社团，ESA会员的基础包括了来自全世界许多国家的附属会员。ESA官方期刊是《欧洲麻醉学期刊》。

ESA的目的是促进欧洲麻醉师之间的信息交换；通过鼓励、教育、科学研究和科学进程来提升专业标准；促进和保护会员利益；促进接受麻醉的患者的安全和监护质量。ESA还组织对欧洲麻醉学和重症监护学科文凭的检查，以促使提升专业标准。通过团体的国家麻醉学学会委员会，ESA与麻醉学医师社团世界联盟保持联系。
 
European Anesthesiologists Unite
 
For the first time, a single body exists to represent European anesthesiologists and to promote the highest clinical and scientific standards of anesthesia in Europe.

The European Society of Anesthesiologists (ESA), the European Academy of Anesthesiology (EAA), and the European Confederation of European National Societies of Anesthesiologists (CENSA) have been united in ESA. ESA’s current membership is more than 5,000, but as a result of the amalgamation ESA has the potential to soon represent more than 60,000 European anesthesiologists.

The headquarters of the ESA are in Brussels (Belgium). Although predominantly a European society, the ESA membership base includes affiliate members from countries around the world. The official journal of ESA is the European Journal of Anesthesiology.

The aims of the ESA are to promote the exchange of information among anesthesiologists in Europe; to raise the standards of the specialty by fostering and encouraging education, research, and scientific progress; to promote and protect the interests of its members; and to promote improvements in safety and quality of care of patients undergoing anesthesia. ESA also organizes the examination for the European Diploma in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care that serves to raise the standards of the specialty. Through its National Anesthesia Society Committee, the ESA is linked to the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists.
