Pediatric Anesthesiology

Pediatric anesthesiologists treat children from the newborn period through the teenage years.  They are responsible for the general anesthesia, sedation, and pain management needs of infants and children. 

Pediatric anesthesiologists generally provide the following services:

• Evaluation of complex medical problems in infants and children when surgery is needed.
• Planning and care for before and after surgery in the operating room.
• Pain control, if needed after surgery, either with intravenous (IV) medications or other anesthetic techniques.
• Anesthesia and sedation for many procedures out of the operating room such as MRI, CT scan, and radiation therapy.
