Welcome Message

We welcome everyone to the 6th Annual Meeting of Korean Society of Regional Anesthesia (KSRA) conjoined with Regional Anesthesia-Asia (RA-ASIA)!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am very much honored to host the annual meeting of the KSRA in conjunction with the RA-ASIA. We are excited to invite you to Seoul, Korea, for this prestigious event, scheduled to take place on August 26-27, 2023. This joint meeting brings together esteemed professionals and experts in the field of regional anesthesia from Korea, Asia, and beyond.

During the two-day event, you can expect an exceptional scientific program featuring a diverse range of topics and presentations. Renowned speakers of both societies will deliver insightful keynote lectures, sharing their expertise and shedding light on emerging trends and advancements in regional anesthesia. Furthermore, we have prepared expanded lectures and educational sessions that will provide additional insight and knowledge to advanced perioperative patient management and care which include intraoperative sedation for regional anesthesia, multimodal analgesia, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), and intraoperative patient monitoring.

In addition to the engaging educational sessions, the meeting will offer workshops, interactive sessions, and hands-on training opportunities. We have further prepared basic, advanced and scenario hands-on sessions for ultrasound guided regional anesthesia workshops as well as hands-on workshops for point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in anesthesia this year. These sessions will provide you with the chance to enhance your practical skills, learn new techniques, and gain valuable insights into the latest advancements in regional anesthesia practice.

Moreover, it will be an excellent platform for fostering collaborations and networking with fellow professionals, both locally and internationally. It will provide ample opportunities to connect with experts, share experiences, and discuss challenging cases, ultimately strengthening the regional anesthesia community.

We look forward to welcoming you to the joint Meeting of 2023 KSRA and RA-ASIA in Seoul, Korea, where you will experience unparalleled educational opportunities, collaborative networking, and memorable moments.

See you in Seoul in August 2023!
