The Egyptian Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Society (ECTAS) welcomes cardiac anesthesiologists from all over the world to visit our site. Here you can find information about ECTAS, including foundation, members, activities, and information on our Annual Conference on cardiac anesthesia. You can check in frequently for news updates, discussion boards, and resources for cardiac anesthesia. Cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, and cardiac intensivists are most welcome to visit our site and participate in our activities. As communication is the key to success in cardiac surgery, we hope that this site will be a gateway to the world of cardiac anesthesia in Egypt and the Middle East, and a bridge to the rest of the world.
