Anesthesiology
Our program fosters quality anesthesia and perioperative care, and alleviates pain in infants, children and adolescents. We have assembed subspecialty trained anesthesiologists who practice pediatric anesthesia. In addition to clinical sub-specialization, advancing the study of pediatric anesthesia through research and education are important parts of our mission.
Treatments
Anesthesiology is a critical component of patient care at Duke Children's. Working in tandem with surgeons or on an individual basis with patients, anesthesiologists relieve pain, ease healing, and promote patient comfort.
We provide pediatric anesthesia for all children, both healthy and those with complex illnesses. We also offer care for children with complex cardiac disease in the operating room, cardiac catheterization lab and for electrophysiologic and diagnostic procedures requiring general anesthesia.
Our pediatric anesthesiologists provide an array of services at locations throughout Duke, some of which include:
- preoperative screening
- acute pain services
- sedations and brief general anesthetics
- main operating room services
- Intensive Care Unit (ICU) services
- chronic pain services
