Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my child need a pediatric clearance before surgery?

A pre-op clearance ensures that your child is medically fit for anesthesia, that their lungs and heart are healthy, and that any subtle infection or asthma flare-up is identified to prevent anesthesia complications.

What happens if my child develops a cold right before scheduled surgery?

For elective surgery, if a child develops a fever, productive cough, or wheezing, the procedure is usually rescheduled for 2-3 weeks later to allow airway hyper-reactivity to resolve completely.
