- What do anesthesiologists do?
- How can I as a parent help?
- What will the anesthesiologist need to know?
- What if my child has outpatient surgery?
- Will my child receive any medication before surgery?
- How will my child be given anesthesia?
- What about regional anesthesia for my child?
- How is pain controlled after surgery?
- Will I be charged for the anesthesia services?
