Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA)

The Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) is a professional organization dedicated to improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of anesthesia care provided in outpatient settings—such as same-day surgeries and procedures. Its members include anesthesiologists and other healthcare professionals focused on anesthesia services outside the hospital environment. SAMBA promotes research, education, and guidelines to ensure patients receive safe and effective anesthesia care when they are not staying overnight, supporting best practices that lead to better patient outcomes and experiences in ambulatory surgical centers.
