The Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) was founded in 1986 to encourage research, education, and scientific progress in the field of pediatric anesthesia and to advance the study of pediatric anesthesia; to bring together physicians and other health professionals with an interest in pediatric anesthesia and to serve as a forum for discussion of issues in the field of pediatric anesthesia and to develop and encourage lifelong personal and professional relationships amongst practitioners with an interest in pediatric anesthesia; to establish relationships with other organizations that have their goal the advancement of research, education, and scientific progress in anesthesia and child health.
Over the past two decades, two sub-societies, the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS) and the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) were founded because of the rapid advancement of highly specialized knowledge in these fields, the great increase in the numbers of patients with these conditions, and the strong desire for collaboration and advocacy for infants, children, and adolescents with congenital heart disease and pain conditions respectively.
