It is a pleasure to welcome you to SSAI 2021 in Oslo. We are extending a long tradition of biennial conferences arranged by The Scandinavian Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine. As anesthesiologists and intensivists we are monitoring a plethora of pathophysiological variables daily. Monitoring, however, goes far beyond this and includes supervision of the whole process of diagnosis, treatment, prognostics, ethical issues and care for our patients and their relatives. As anesthesiologists and intensivists we MONITOR and care for LIFE.

We will present an exciting program with plenary lectures, workshops, simulations, debates, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The conference venue is the new Hotel “The Hub”, the opening session will be in the Oslo City Hall, there will be social events with culture and entertainment as well as opportunities for outdoor events in the Oslo fjord as well as the splendid nature surrounding Oslo – the city that does not see darkness in June!

Experience SSAI 2021 – a different kind of conference!
