Pediatric Anesthesia Service

Pediatric Anesthesia Service - Overview

The Division of Pediatric Anesthesiology here at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) is a well recognized center for the delivery of anesthesia services to children. The pediatric anesthesia program is devoted to the preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative care of the pediatric patient. We recognize that anesthesia is a difficult process for parents. To that end, one of our priorities is to provide expert, compassionate care to our pediatric patients here at URMC. In addition, our Pediatric Surgical Suite allows residents the ability to focus on the clinical skills necessary for the care of the neonate, infant, and toddler. This is in conjunction with a wide range of cases that are performed on a daily basis including general pediatric surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, pediatric urology, pediatric GI, pediatric ophthalmology and pediatric neurosurgery and pediatric orthopedics. Anesthesia services for pediatric patients in locations outside of the operating room are provided as well. The Division is committed to advancing the delivery of pediatric anesthesia care, treatment of post operative pain control and educating the next generation of anesthesiologists. As a result, parents and colleagues are requesting service from members of the division through their referring surgeon. We are engaged in clinical research for children. All team members are specialty trained in pediatric anesthesia and some faculty actively participate in national and international societies to further improve perioperative care for children.
