Pediatric anesthesiologists at Ochsner focus on keeping your child comfortable during their surgery or other procedure. Our pediatric anesthesiologists have extra training that allows them to judge how to keep your child safe while minimizing the pain they experience. We understand that the thought of your child needing anesthesia can cause anxiety in parents and caretakers. Our anesthesiologists make every effort to know your child’s entire health history before they make decisions about how to prepare them for procedures. You can be an active part of your child’s care by knowing and sharing health histories and medicine regimens.
