Following this consultation, you will meet with the anaesthesiologist supporting our Anaesthesia-Assisted Paediatric Procedure Clinic, who will assess your child or youth and confirm if they are eligible to receive care supported by anaesthesia.
How often will Grandview Kids and Lakeridge Health operate the Anaesthesia-Assisted Paediatric Procedure Clinic? How far in advance will appointments be booked?
The Anaesthesia-Assisted Paediatric Procedure Clinic will operate up to 1 day per month. Appointments may be booked up to 6 months in advance or as soon as 3 weeks prior to a clinic day.
Can I, as a parent or caregiver, be present for the procedure if my child or youth is under anaesthesia?
Parents and caregivers can remain with their child or youth until they are brought into the Anaesthesia-Assisted Paediatric Procedure Clinic and can join them in the recovery room as soon as they have recovered from the anaesthesia. Unfortunately, parents and caregivers cannot be present for procedures where anaesthesia is administered.
