With the number of patients living with congenital heart disease steadily increasing, relevant training in anesthesia care for these patients is becoming ever more important. Written by experts in the field, this highly illustrated book succinctly reviews the pathophysiology of congenital cardiac lesions along with important anesthetic implications for each. Case scenarios cover patients of wide-ranging ages, with a focus on care in non-cardiac operating room settings, including the general operating room, cardiac catheterization laboratory and radiology. Divided into sections corresponding to the anatomic classification of each cardiac lesion, the book includes keywords for easy cross-referencing. Several lesions have multiple scenarios presented in order to allow readers to learn how to discern more critically ill patients. The stepwise approach to understanding complex lesions provides a readily accessible guide for all anesthesia providers who care for patients with congenital heart disease. The book is also a useful tool for intraoperative teaching.

Anesthesia Providers

As the management of congenital heart disease evolves, the use of cardiac catheterization, both as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool, has significantly increased. Increasingly complex interventions are being performed on younger and sicker children. Therefore, anesthesia providers in the cardiac catheterization laboratory must have a good understanding of each patient's underlying cardiac physiology, the implications of the anesthetic technique on this physiology, as well as the inherent risks and potential complications of the procedure to be performed.

Angiographic Examination

Based on the data of angiographic examination of 25 patients with a single heart ventricle, a new classification of complex congenital heart disease is proposed. It indicates the type of defect without taking into account the morphology of the single ventricular chamber, which is angiographically difficult or impossible to determine in some cases. This classification simplifies the interpretation of angiographic images, reflects the anatomical variants of the defect and meets the modern requirements of cardiac surgery.

Intraoperative Period

ABSTRACT Complex congenital heart diseases (CHD) often present as multiple cardiac lesions. The presence of one anomaly should stimulate the physician to perform a comprehensive assessment and look for other associated anomalies.1 Multimodal imaging may be necessary to diagnose such associated lesions as single imaging may occasionally miss them. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are complimentary to each other. Routine use of TEE during intraoperative period may help us to refine diagnosis, detect the missing components and guide effective surgical repair. We present one such case where diagnosis and management were optimized by multimodal imaging. How to cite this article Kumar B, Madhavan JS, Puri GD, Rana SS.

Number Of Patients

The number of patients with congenital heart disease surviving to adulthood is increasing, with many requiring ongoing medical attention. Although recommendations are that these patients should be cared for in specialist centres, the clinical state of the acutely unwell patient may preclude transfer prior to the instigation of lifesaving treatment. Although the principles of resuscitation in this patient population differ little from those with acquired heart disease, the acutely unwell adult congenital heart disease patient presents a challenge, with potential pitfalls in examination, assessment/monitoring, and intervention. Keys to avoiding errors include: knowledge of the primary pathophysiology, any interventions that have been undertaken, residual lesions present (static or dynamic), and the normal physiological status for that patient-to determine the precise cause for the acute deterioration and to appreciate the effects (detrimental or otherwise) that any supportive and/or therapeutic interventions might have. Expert advice should be sought at the earliest opportunity.
