American Society of Anesthesiologists Marks a Decade of Collaboration with Medtronic as an Industry Supporter

CHICAGO– The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is pleased to announce that Medtronic, a global leader in health care technology, is an ASA Industry Supporter for the 10th year, supporting the work of the Society and anesthesiologists to improve patient safety and outcomes.

“ASA is thrilled to welcome Medtronic as an Industry Supporter for a decade straight,” said ASA President Ronald L. Harter, M.D., FASA. “Working together we provide quality education and resources for our members, helping to reduce postoperative delirium and improve emergence and recovery time through Medtronic’s monitoring solutions that improve patient safety.”

As an Industry Supporter, Medtronic is helping to establish a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the anesthesiology community, strengthen collaboration between anesthesiologists and industry, and add to the value the Society provides to patients and the public. Additionally, Medtronic provides invaluable year-round support of ASA programs and priorities related to perioperative care, brain health, and continuing medical education (CME) grant support.

With the support of Medtronic as an industry partner, ASA has been able to drive key initiatives that educate anesthesiologists, advance clinical practices, and improve patient outcomes. This collaboration allows Medtronic to participate in crucial discussions and contribute to innovative solutions that ultimately enhance patient safety worldwide.

Through the program, Medtronic has unique opportunities to engage with leaders in anesthesiology from around the world and during major ASA events including the ANESTHESIOLOGY^® annual meeting and ASA^® ADVANCE: The Anesthesiology Business Event.

"Our long-standing partnership is grounded in our shared commitment to patient safety,” said Frank Chan, Ph.D., president of the Acute Care & Monitoring business at Medtronic. “By collaborating with clinicians to understand their needs, we develop purposeful innovations to help them predict, respond to, and prevent potential adverse events. We look forward to connecting with clinicians during the ANESTHESIOLOGY^® annual meeting to discuss the future of connected care solutions, our commitment to health equity, and our latest innovations in patient monitoring.”

Launched in 2010, ASA’s Industry Supporter Program is limited to 10 organizations. Participation is intended for companies who want to stand apart by showcasing high-level commitment to the education of anesthesiologists, the anesthesia care team and advancement of the specialty.
