Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship

The focus of this training year will be the delivery of anesthetic care to pediatric patients who undergo cardiac surgery for the correction of congenital defects, care of pediatric patients in the catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories, and general operating room care of pediatric patients with significant congenital cardiac disease.

Our program is robust and growing. We are a referral center for a large catchment area of northern California and across the US. During our most recent year we performed 500 pump and pump-standby cases and over 500 cardiac catheterization or electrophysiology procedures. Operative cases included 136 neonates and 5 heart transplants. We work with 4 pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons. Our patient population includes premature infants, neonates, pediatric patients and a small number of adult patients.
