When your child needs surgery or a medical procedure, we understand how important it is to ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being. At Cooper University Health Care, our Pediatric Anesthesiology provides comprehensive care for young patients in the operating room, ambulatory surgery center, and non-operating room environment.
Our experienced anesthesiologists are specially trained in pediatric anesthesia and are supported by skilled nurse anesthetists and anesthesiology with extending training in caring for children.
A Focus on Comfort and Safety
We prioritize effective pain control and the safest possible experience for every child, whether undergoing surgery or a non-surgical procedure. Our team uses regional anesthesia to reduce pain, shorten recovery time before going home, and lower the need for general anesthesia. This approach is especially beneficial for high-risk patients like newborns and premature infants with breathing issues as well as children with lung disease or muscle disorders.
Children recover in a dedicated recovery area, where parents are encouraged to participate in the recovery process to help reduce anxiety, promote healing, and facilitate discharge.
A Team Approach to Pediatric Care
Our pediatric anesthesiologists work closely surgeons, pediatricians, and specialists throughout Cooper, ensuring your child receive the personalized and comprehensive care that meets their unique needs.
