我们照顾细节，让您的孩子准备外科，所以您的焦点可以留在您的孩子。
Kids will often pick up emotional cues from their parents. If you’re calm and confident, your child will be more relaxed, too. Here are tips to help you talk with your child about surgery and ways to make their experience less stressful:
婴儿和幼儿（年龄0-2）：Toddlers understand time differently than adults. That’s why we suggest you tell your child about surgery only a few days before. We also recommend you bring a pacifier, favorite blanket, doll or stuffed animal to help comfort your child.
Preschoolers (ages 3-5):Preschoolers are old enough to be curious about their surroundings and what’s happening, so it can be helpful to tell your child about surgery a few days to a week in advance. Use words such as “fix” or “make it better” during your talk and answer any questions your child may have.
学龄（6-10岁）：If your child is in grade school, it can be helpful to tell them about the surgery at least a week in advance and explain what will happen the day of. You can tell your child about the pediatric specialists who will make sure they will stay asleep during the surgery and help manage pain after. Let your child know the nurses and doctors want to answer any questions they have during pre-surgery visits.
青少年：与一开始就在决策过程中与青少年谈谈。对于孩子们来说，很重要，以保持自己的独立性和控制感。我们鼓励他们向他们的外科团队提出他们可能在该过程中的任何问题。
We’ll help you take care of the details necessary to prepare for your child’s procedure and make it as quick and easy as possible.
Registration:To save time on surgery day, register your child online beforehand and provide the necessary insurance and contact information. You can also register by phone, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please register your child as soon as the surgery is scheduled or at least 2 days before the procedure. Also, be sure to check with your insurance company to authorize your child’s procedure.
Pre-Admission Interview:A nurse will contact you a few days before your child’s surgery to answer any questions, review your child’s health history and ask about any medicines your child takes. To protect your child and other patients from highly contagious illnesses, let the nurse know if your child has a cold, cough, fever, pink eye (conjunctivitis), chickenpox, measles, COVID-19 or has recently been exposed to chickenpox or measles or COVID-19. The nurse will also need to know about guardianship arrangements, such as foster care or custody issues, so the correct legal guardian can sign the consent form.
前手术前测试：您孩子的儿科专家可能需要手术前的血液工作或X射线。测试必须在手术前72小时进行，因此计划并在适当的时间范围内完成它们。如果测试通过初级保健医生而不是您的儿科外科医生进行，请申请将结果发送给外科医生的副本，或者在手术当天带上副本。
Use this checklist to help make your child’s surgery day less hectic and make it easier for you to focus on your child.
