The pediatric anesthesia team can use its extensive experience, special knowledge and child-friendly equipment to care for a wide range of patients, from the smallest premature babies to adults, from hernia operations to complex heart surgery, with the greatest possible safety and comfort. We are familiar with the fears of children and the worries of parents, work closely with pediatricians and surgeons and try to spare our young patients fear and pain before, during and after the operation.

The various pediatric surgical and pediatric cardiac surgical operations are usually performed in the pediatric clinic under general anesthesia, often combined with regional anesthesia. Awake regional anesthesia is also used for minor operations on premature and newborn babies and small infants. Various methods of analgosedation are offered for bone marrow and lumbar punctures, as well as for other painful procedures. We also take care of children who require central venous access or have difficult venous conditions or pain problems.

Particular emphasis is placed on post-operative pain therapy. In most cases, a local or regional pain block is used intraoperatively to ensure that the children wake up as pain-free as possible. Parents are welcome in the recovery room.

Sobriety periods

It is very important to us that fasting times are short and that all children are affected as little as possible. You will be given further information on this during your consultation, which you can also find in our diagram.

Acute illness

If your child becomes acutely ill before the planned operation (purulent cold, productive cough, fever over 38.5°C), it is advisable to postpone the operation date.
