Cardiac Anesthesiology
Ensuring Your Child’s Safety and Comfort During Procedures
Nemours Children’s cardiac anesthesiologists help kids with complex heart and blood vessel conditions have a safe, comfortable experience before, during and after procedures. We work closely, every day, with cardiothoracic surgeons, electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists and cardiac imaging specialists. We make tests and surgery less stressful for children and families, both physically and emotionally.
Our team is part of award-winning heart centers in Delaware and Florida. We’re here for heart procedures and advanced tests, providing the right medicines at the right time. We monitor your child’s medical status on a minute-to-minute basis.
And for many other needs your child has, like ear tubes, major surgeries or dental procedures, we’re here for those, too. We consult with the whole care team to ensure everyone knows your child’s unique situation for the safest possible procedure.
Our team is highly experienced and trained in heart conditions and the latest anesthesia medicines and their effects. We work with the tiniest newborns and kids through young adulthood. We help make your child’s time with us positive and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in expert hands.
