Pediatric Anesthesiology Treatments
Brenner Children’s Hospital’s pediatric anesthesia team is
made up of highly-trained, board-certified physicians who are the region’s
experts in safely giving anesthetics to pediatric patients.
In addition to
providing care for surgical and other operative patients, our pediatric
anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists are specially trained to manage
traumatic injuries in children of all ages. Members of our anesthesiology team are available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to care for patients who need emergency care.
Additionally, some members of Brenner’s pediatric anesthesiology team have been
specially trained to care for children with specific health care needs, such as
congenital heart disease or premature infants.
Timeline of Pediatric Anesthesiology Care
Before Surgery: Before a surgical procedure begins, we help
our pediatric patients maintain or reach comfort through the use of
anesthetics, while lessening their fears.
During Surgery: During surgery, we closely monitor our
patients, looking for subtle changes and, if needed, providing immediate
management of those changes.
After Surgery: After surgery is completed, we start our
carefully prepared pain management plan, ensuring our patients experience the
least possible amount of pain as they transition into the recovery period.
During recovery, we provide continuous evaluation and treatment of their pain
levels, nausea, thirst and warmth. We also understand the importance of family
and do our best to reconnect patients and their families as soon as possible.
