Two portable booths are available for loan to ASA members. The tabletop exhibit is 8’ wide by 3.5’ tall. The pop-up booth measures 10’ wide x 10’ in height. Both come in their own portable cases, making them easy to transport as well as set up. These booths can be used at health fairs, career days, community events and hospital or department open houses. They come with ready-to-display laminated color photographs and captions. There is no rental charge. ASA pays to ship the booth out; the user agrees to pay to ship it back (UPS ground) and to insure the value of the booth. Please click the link to the form in Members Only What's New section.
Booths are on a first-come, first-served basis. Members may call the ASA Communications Department (847) 825-5586 for more information.

Awareness Under General Anesthesia - What Is
It? 
Although awareness under general anesthesia is rare, this brochure was created by ASA and the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) to answer patients questions about this phenomenon.
The brochure explains what awareness under general anesthesia is and isn't¹t, and why it can happen. It discusses what researchers and health care providers are doing to lessen the chance of this rare event and offers guidance to patients for discussing concerns about awareness with their anesthesia professional.

Anesthesia Awareness Registry
When patients can recall events or sensations from their surgeries, even though they were supposed to be asleep at the time, this is called “awareness during general anesthesia”. The Anesthesia Awareness Registry seeks greater understanding about the causes of this problem.
