Phoenix hospital opens pediatric pain suite

Phoenix Children’s Hospital recently announced the opening of its new Interventional Pain Procedural Suite, a groundbreaking model of care. The suite is located at the Phoenix Children’s Thomas Campus, and is the first of its kind in pediatric medicine in the Western United States.

The suite is a space where professionals can execute advanced, image-guided pain procedures for children without needing to send them to the operating room. For many patients, these procedures did not require general anesthesia, yet they would still have to wait weeks to obtain care. This is designed to deliver faster, more targeted relief for children experiencing acute and chronic pain.

Dr. Sean Gamble, Pediatric Anesthesiologist at Phoenix Children’s, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the new suite.
