Before Surgery

— Before Surgery ——- The Day Of The Procedure ——- Going Home —

If your child has a complex medical condition, it is important that your referring physician provides our office with the necessary information to allow for a pre-operative anesthetic evaluation prior to the procedure. In otherwise healthy children, please notify your doctor if there are any changes in your child’s health in the week prior to the procedure. Remember, the anesthesiologist always has your child’s safety in mind.

A pediatric anesthesiologist will make every effort to call you the night before the procedure to discuss your child’s medical history and preparation for anesthesia. Please take a moment to fill out the PATIENT INFORMATION AND TIME SHEET that will be given to you.This will ensure a clear understanding of when your child should stop eating or drinking, arrival time and time of your child’s procedure.
