Anesthesiology

For a child undergoing a surgical or other medical procedure, fear and separation anxiety are normal for not only the child, but for the family as well. At Nemours, we treat the child holistically, including their emotional needs and those of their parents. That’s why the division of Anesthesiology focuses on allaying the fear and emotional stress that typically accompanies a surgical procedure, while being fully committed to the complete well being of the child.

Our staff believes that communication is key in a successful experience for all involved. By communicating with parents and children in a reassuring, humanistic, non-technical, “nuts and bolts” way, families know what’s going to happen during and after the procedure, thus lessening the wonder and worry.

Nemours anesthesiologists and in Delaware, certified registered nurse anesthetists, are often trained in multiple specialties—pediatrics and anesthesiology, for example. As specialists in areas of pediatric anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology, Nemours anesthesiologists are prepared to meet the diverse needs of children from infancy through adolescence as they undergo surgical or diagnostic procedures. Further, Nemours anesthesiologists in Delaware use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting anesthesiologists to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature.

We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.

At Nemours, we treat each and every child as if they were our own. This is the Nemours Way.
