History of Aegis Anesthesia Formerly North Texas Children’s Anesthesia

Aegis Anesthesia, formerly North Texas Children's Anesthesia (NTCA), is a group of board-certified pediatric and general anesthesiologists that provide perioperative care for children and adults. Over the last 20 years, the founding partners of North Texas Children's Anesthesia responded to parent's request for specialized pediatric care by bringing pediatric anesthetic safety and quality standards to community healthcare facilities. In 2014, we created Aegis Anesthesia in response to the communities need for a group physicians with a scope of practice that included premature neonates to adult anesthesia services in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Dictionary: aegis |ˈējis|

The word aegis (Greek: Αιγίς is the shield) is identified with protection by a strong force with its roots in Greek mythology.

How to Prepare Your Child for Anesthesia

Research shows that when parents and kids know what to expect, children have less anxiety, earlier discharge and require less postoperative pain medicine. Therefore, we have produced a video for parents and older children to view at anesthesiavideo.com.
