Preparing Your Child for Surgery
Getting Ready for Your Child's Procedure
The staff at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has prepared some helpful information and checklists for patients and families as they prepare for surgery.
A nurse will attempt to contact you by telephone within two business days before the operation and will:
- Confirm the time and location of the procedure. Your child's procedure time may have changed since your office visit. We perform surgery at two locations: our Burnet Campus and Liberty Campus.
- Review eating and drinking instructions.
- Ask about your child's health, medications and if he / she has been around other children who are sick.
