Fetal and Obstetric Anesthesia
Our fetal and obstetric anesthesiologists are available around the clock and make up an integral part of the care team , meeting with parents and families prior to deliveries and fetal procedures . Additionally , our anesthesiology team develops a plan for each patient based on their specific needs , medical history and type of procedure , making sure parents and babies are always comfortable and safe .
In partnership with anesthesiologists , our fetal and pediatric surgeons can perform many operations in utero or at the time of delivery , including fetoscopic procedures for twin-twin transfusion syndrome , open fetal procedures for myelomeningocele repair , and EXIT procedures , among others . Our anesthesia care team also assists with labor and delivery . Our goal is to ensure the most comfortable and stress-free deliveries possible for parents and the best possible outcomes for babies . That ’ s why we work closely with our Neonatal Intensive Care and Cardiac Intensive Care Units to care for babies immediately after delivery .
