Dear colleagues,With great enthusiasm, I invite you to participate in the 49th Congress of the Romanian Society of Anesthesia - Intensive Care and the related, traditional events: 17th Romanian-French Congress of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 15th Romanian-Israeli Symposium on Updates in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 22nd Congress of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care for Nurses, 10th Symposium of the Romanian and Moldavian Societies of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.

We are beyong excited that, after three editions in which we intertwined the online with the offline, we have the chance to meet, between May 10 and 14, 2023, at an exclusive face-to-face event, at the International Center of Conferences in Sinaia, the hearth of our annual meetings. I am convinced that we are all grateful for this opportunity and I hope that we will take advantage of everything that it offers us: education, information, connection.

The Congress is an optimal moment to discuss the challenges of our specialty, topics of general interest in daily practice, but also more particular aspects, which require extensive dialogues. So, as every year, the Scientific Committee will make every effort to configure a comprehensive and relevant scientific program, which will offer alternatives, answers or solutions for all participants who want to consolidate their knowledge and bring improvements to the profession.

The dynamics of the activity of the Romanian Society of Anesthesia - Intensive Therapy reflects a continuous growth, growth which is mostly the result of the dedication of its members. The involvement of all our members places the SRATI National Congress at the forefront of the national and even international landscape of anesthesia and intensive care. Thus, with pride and gratitude, I thank you in advance for your active presence at this edition, because united we are strong, we are SRATI!

See you in Sinaia!
