Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care No. 1
The Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit No. 1 provides anesthesiological and perioperative support for planned and emergency surgical interventions in children of various age groups, including newborns and patients with severe concomitant pathology. The department‘s specialists conduct a preoperative assessment of the patient‘s condition and anesthetic risk, determine individual anesthesia and perioperative anesthesia tactics, and monitor and maintain vital functions during surgery. A special place in the work of the department is occupied by the anesthesiological provision of complex and high-tech surgical interventions. If further intensive care or the use of extracorporeal technologies is necessary, ARO No. 1 specialists interact with the relevant departments of the Russian National Research Center for Pediatric Surgery and ensure consistent patient routing to the next stage of treatment.
Department staff
The department employs 16 pediatric anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians. Of these, 12 specialists have qualification categories, including 6 doctors with the highest qualification category. The team unites specialists with many years of experience in pediatric anesthesiology and young doctors undergoing professional development at a specialized republican center. The department‘s specialists participate in scientific, practical and educational work, professional development, international professional cooperation and the introduction of modern medical technologies. By the end of 2025, the staff of ARO No. 1 published two scientific papers on high-tech respiratory tract surgery and the use of ESP blockade in pediatrics. The staff participated in international scientific and practical conferences in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic, conducted foreign master classes and participated in the development of national clinical protocols.

Main areas of work
Thanks to the long-term and successful work of the team, the clinic has accumulated unique experience in intensive care of any level of complexity, including:
Preoperative assessment and patient preparation — assessment of the child's condition, concomitant pathology and anesthetic risk, formation of an individual anesthetic care plan
Anesthetic support for planned and emergency surgical procedures of various volume and duration
Anesthetic care for newborns and young children, taking into account age-related anatomical and physiological characteristics
Anesthetic support for complex and high-tech surgical interventions, including in patients with congenital malformations and severe concomitant pathology
Perioperative anesthesia using multimodal and regional analgesia methods
Anesthetic support for high-risk patients with an individual choice of anesthesia methods, monitoring and maintenance of vital functions
Modern technologies of anesthesiological provision
The department uses modern methods of anesthesia, monitoring and perioperative management of patients, taking into account the age of the child, the nature of surgical intervention and individual anesthetic risk: ultrasound navigation during invasive procedures; regional methods of anesthesia; modern technologies for ensuring airway patency; total intravenous and combined anesthesia; anesthetic support for high-tech cardiac, thoracic, abdominal and endovascular interventions.
Development and implementation of new techniques
The department consistently implements modern technologies for perioperative management and anesthesia of patients. In 2025, blockade of the spine straightening muscle space (ESP block) was introduced into the practice of ARO No. 1 as a component of multimodal perioperative analgesia. The method was used in 18 patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
