Maimonides Medical Center requires that your child undergo a pre-operative testing visit. At that time, the anesthesia department will ask you questions, tell you what time surgery is scheduled, go over feeding instructions and determine if any blood work is necessary. If blood work is needed, the test will be performed there.

Your child needs to be evaluated by the pediatrician 1-2 days prior to surgery. You must bring this clearance with you to the hospital on the day of surgery.

Medications

Please be advised that the listing of medications DOES NOT include: Tylenol, antibiotics, seizure medications, behavior and/or anxiety medications, heart, blood pressure, diabetes, asthma or respiratory medications.

Post-Operative Instructions

Your post-operative instruction sheet can be printed from this website. Please read them before your surgery. Bring a list of questions with you to the hospital so your surgeon can review them with you. Be aware that your child may go home with prescriptions for medication.
