About Anesthesia Tech Day

Anesthesia Tech Day is a professional recognition day marked on March 31 by the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (ASATT).

ASATT places the day within its broader Anesthesia Tech Week programming.

Why Anesthesia Tech Day matters

The day recognizes anesthesia technologists and technicians and their role in supporting anesthesia care teams.

It is a professional-association observance rather than a government public holiday.

History of Anesthesia Tech Day

ASATT documented Anesthesia Tech Week in 2021 and 2022 as a week recognizing anesthesia technologists and technicians.

ASATT’s 2026 event material identifies Tuesday, March 31 as Anesthesia Tech Day within the March 30–April 3 Tech Week.

The same event page schedules Anesthesia Tech Day for March 31, 2027 while the surrounding week shifts to March 29–April 2.

These records support a stable March 31 day but do not establish who first created the standalone day or when its first edition occurred.
