Abstract

Pediatric anesthesia is a diverse subspecialty practiced at thousands of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers across the country. Most unusual and high-risk cases are performed in dedicated children's hospitals. However, the majority of cases and practitioners are based in the community. We present a review of demographics in pediatric anesthesia in the United States across 7 years of data from US Anesthesia Partners, a national anesthesia practice, which covers the full range of hospitals and outpatient facilities.
