American Society of Regional Anesthesia

The American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing knowledge, research, and education in the field of regional anesthesia and pain management. Regional anesthesia involves numbing specific areas of the body, often to reduce pain during or after surgery, using techniques like nerve blocks. ASRA provides guidelines, supports practitioners, and promotes safe, effective practices to improve patient outcomes. It also encourages collaboration among healthcare professionals specializing in anesthesia, pain medicine, and related fields to foster innovation and ensure high standards of care.
