Pediatric Anesthesiology

Pediatric Anesthesiology at Wellstar

Wellstar pediatric anesthesiologists specialize in administering medicine during a procedure to reduce a child’s pain, and if required, to make sure the child remains asleep during a more complex procedure.

Before surgery, a pediatric physician or nurse anesthetist will ask the parent about their child’s medical history, allergies, current medications and walk parents through the procedure.

Wellstar pediatric anesthesiologists prioritize a child’s comfort and safety throughout the surgery. During the operation, the anesthesiologist may provide general anesthesia (putting the child in an inactive state), sedation (administered through a vein to render a child calm or unaware), regional anesthesia (injection through a nerve to numb a part of the body), or local anesthesia (a cream, gel or shot used to numb a small area).
