 Our
Patient and Families
The Department
of Anesthesiology provides comprehensive anesthesia care throughout
the perioperative period. The department is comprised of divisions
of pediatric anesthesia, obstetrical anesthesia, neuroanesthesia,
cardiac anesthesia, anesthesia for transplant surgery, intensive
care medicine and pain management. The department also maintains
a Preoperative Anesthesia Clinic for ambulatory patients,
a Difficult Airway Clinic, and manages the Post Anesthesia
Care Unit (Recovery Room).
A wide
variety of anesthetic techniques are provided which suit the
patients’ specific needs and the needs of the surgical
procedure. These techniques range from continuous analgesia
for women in labor to complex invasive management techniques
for patients undergoing heart, liver and lung transplant.
Postoperative patients may take advantage of our Acute Pain
Service to make their recovery period as free of discomfort
as possible. This is available for both adult and pediatric
patients.
In addition,
the department manages the Multidisciplinary Pain Center which
provides a wide variety of coordinated multidisciplinary approaches
to the management of difficult chronic pain syndromes.
