Anesthesia & kids



It can be scary as both a parent and a kid if your child needs to have surgery. Many parents have questions about their child undergoing anesthesia. It can also be hard to describe and prepare your child for the experience. 

In this week’s episode of the Baby Your Baby Podcast, Holly Menino heads up to Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital to talk with Dr. Erin Hinich, a pediatric anesthesiologist. Together they discuss what parents need to know about anesthesia and kids and how to help prepare your little one if they need surgery. 

The Baby Your Baby program provides many resources for all pregnant women and new moms in Utah. There is also expert advice from the Utah Department of Health and Intermountain Healthcare that air each week on KUTV 2News.
