Pediatric Anesthesiology

Akron Children's Hospital anesthesiologists provide anesthesia and pain management services to tens of thousands of young patients each year. Studies show that anesthesia is safer for children — particularly very young children — when administered by a pediatric anesthesiologist. Our goal is to help a child go to sleep with as little anesthesia as possible.

Specialized care.

When it comes to anesthesiology, we understand the major differences in children’s body structures and functions, particularly infants. We also have a better understanding of the needs of each child and parent.

We have a team of pediatric anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists who are specially trained to help block and control pain in children of all ages before, during and after surgeries, procedures and tests. We use special equipment and techniques suited to the size of your child to help support a successful outcome to the surgery and anesthesia.

We also provide anesthesia services throughout Akron Children's Hospital, including in radiology, in the intensive care units and on patient care units.
