Pediatric Anesthesiology

Our Approach

When your child is having a surgical procedure they will likely require general anesthesia. The procedures that require general anesthesia range from, a diagnostic test or minor procedure to major surgery like an open heart surgery. You want to know they are safe and comfortable. Our pediatric anesthesiology team performs highly specialized perioperative care of patients from birth to age 21. We work side by side with our pediatric surgeons who rely on us to monitor and care for pediatric patients and deliver them safely through their surgical procedures.

General Anesthesia

Anesthesia for surgery with intubation involves securing a patient’s airway during surgery. Intubation is the process of inserting an endotracheal tube into the patient’s airway (trachea) a routine practice for pediatric anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists. Many surgeries require this level of care to ensure patient safety while pediatric surgeons perform a procedure. Pediatric anesthesiologists will be there to continuously monitor a patient during surgery, never leaving their side.
