The Section of Pediatric Anesthesia provides specialized anesthetic care for infants, children, and adolescents undergoing surgical and diagnostic procedures at Comer Children's Hospital. Our faculty care for pediatric patients across nearly every surgical subspecialty, including cardiac, craniofacial, neurosurgical, ophthalmic, orthopedic, otolaryngologic, urologic, and transplant surgery, as well as for procedures performed outside the operating room such as endoscopy, interventional radiology, and CT/MRI. The section maintains a dedicated rotation-specific didactic curriculum, morbidity and mortality conference, and simulation program to prepare residents for the unique physiologic and developmental considerations of pediatric anesthesia. The section also offers a one-year ACGME-accredited Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship, providing fellows with advanced training across the full range of pediatric surgical subspecialties, along with dedicated lecture series, mock oral boards, and simulation-based education at Comer Children's Hospital.
