Meeting of the Romanian Association of Regional Anesthesia and Pain
Therapy.

new zones are currently ongoing with Serbia, Russia, Ukraine,
Kazakhstan, and Bulgaria. This allowed more than 800 new
members to get involved with ESRA and obtain access to various
benefits such as the regional anesthesia and pain medicine ESRA
grant system and reduced registration fees for ESRA-organized
meetings.

Figure 2: Hands-on workshops for ultrasound-guided truncal and
peripheral nerve blocks were the highlight of the meeting.

Figure 3: Formal lectures attracted approximately a quarter off the
country's anesthesiologists.

One of the most successful new zones was the Romanian
Association of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Therapy (ARAR), which
was established in 2016. Following the registration of the ARAR
bylaws, the inaugural meeting of the new zone was held in Cluj
Napoca. More than 250 participants registered for a 3-day meeting
with participation of local and international faculty and included
state-of-the-art lectures and hands-on workshops. In 2017, this
meeting was repeated and turned out to be even more successful
(Figures 1-3).
In the future, the goal is to have all European countries involved in
ESRA and expand to certain countries at the boundaries of Europe
such as North African Countries and the Middle East. Knowledge,
skill, and the art of regional anesthesia and pain medicine are
important aspects of the anesthesiology practice. The ESRA

Ambassador Program was designed to help countries across Europe
increase utilization of regional anesthesia and pain management
therapies. The program has been highly successful, with many
anesthesiologists contributing to the mission over the past decade.

"The remit of this program was to facilitate teaching and
training in regional anesthesia and pain medicine in parts
of Europe in which uptake was low."
