Pediatric Cardiology

Anesthesiologists use medicines to block pain safely and to make your child comfortable during surgeries, tests or other procedures. Our anesthesiologists work closely with the surgeons and the heart doctors (cardiologists).

During heart surgery, when your child is in deep sleep, the team monitors more than 20 of your child’s vital functions, including blood pressure, temperature, heart function and oxygen levels in the blood. The anesthesiologist will follow your child throughout the procedure until your child is transferred to the care of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Intensive Care Unit, or recovery room team.
