Join Hope for HIE on
Thursday, May 28, at 12:00 PM ET for a Child Life Q&A with Annie Gunning, CCLS, and Dr. Sami Horani, anesthesiologist and HIE parent.
So many of our families have shared how nerve-wracking it can be to navigate surgery and anesthesia with their HIE child. In this session, we'll explore:
- What anesthesiology is and the roles of the providers you may meet
- The types of anesthesia and how the step-by-step process works from pre-op through recovery
- How HIE-related conditions can impact anesthesia planning
- Important questions to ask your care team before and on the day of surgery
- How to prepare your child emotionally and sensory-wise for the hospital environment
- How child life specialists support children and families through every step of the surgical experience
