A mission of the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia is to promote research in ambulatory anesthesia, especially among new investigators. To this end, each year the Society presents awards in the following categories to individuals submitting abstracts to the SAMBA Annual Meeting: Best Abstract Award, Resident Travel Award and White Mountain Institute Awards. The Best Abstract Award is provided to the authors whose abstracts are competitive graded by the Committee on Scientific Papers to be the top five overall abstract submissions to the meeting. The Travel Awards provide $1,000 travel grants to the top five resident abstract submissions. The White Mountain Institute Award complements the SAMBA Resident Travel Award by providing the top five resident abstract submitters with monetary recognition. The 2004 recipients are as follows:

Did you miss the 2004 SAMBA Annual Meeting? Well, it's not too late to view the abstracts. The abstracts are now available online.

NEW EDUCATIONAL GUIDELINES AVAILABLE - TOP


The SAMBA Committee on Education has revised SAMBA's Educational Guidelines for Subspecialty Anesthesia Residency and Fellowship Training in Ambulatory Anesthesia. These are a great source of reference material not only for anesthesiologists in training, but also for anyone involved in delivering anesthesia in the ambulatory setting. The guidelines contain a large number of references regarding the different types of ambulatory surgical facilities, as well the preoperative evaluation, preparation and medication, intraoperative management, and postoperative care of the ambulatory surgical patient. There is also a comprehensive manual of guidelines for the management of Malignant Hyperthermia in the ambulatory setting. Visit our Web site to view these guidelines.
