RASimAs: First Results of Excellence

In 2013, the European Union has granted 3.3 million Euros under the Seventh Framework Programme for the Regional Anaesthesia Simulator and Assistant (RASimAs) project, which aims at establishing Regional Anaesthesia in Europe’s daily routine of patient care. Regional Anaesthesia has several benefits for the patients such as earlier mobilization and release from hospital as well as a strong economic impact: savings of up to 100.000 Euros per operation theatre per year have been estimated for the health systems in Europe.
