Your anesthesiologist will be happy to talk with you about your child and discuss the anesthetic plan prior to surgery. You can call the OPA office and request that the anesthesiologist contact you. This is the best way to get specific information about what you and your child can expect. It is often easier to discuss the plan and ask questions ahead of time instead of waiting until just before surgery when most people feel anxious. In addition you may click on the Pediatric Pre Operative Questionnaire located in the topic list to the left. The questionnaire is similar to the one you will be asked to fill out upon arrival at the hospital. You may print it, fill it out and give it to your anesthesiologist when you meet with him/her prior to surgery. This will help you provide all the information your anesthesiologist needs to administer a safe anesthetic to your child. You may also communicate with us through our email service ([email protected]). Please feel free to send questions or comments.
