Anesthetic Complications

Congenital heart disease (CHD) patients are increasingly presenting for noncardiac surgery, and the anesthesiologist must possess an understanding of the major classes of CHD and their pathophysiology, as well as surgical approaches for correction or palliation. A thorough preoperative evaluation and anesthetic plan, including invasive monitoring, inotropic support, blood transfusion, endocarditis prophylaxis, pacemaker/defibrillator functioning, and intensive care unit admission must be developed, and include a multidisciplinary team. Each patient has a unique pathophysiology and a systematic approach to understanding hemodynamic consequences, and developing hemodynamic goals for the anesthetic will improve the potential to minimize anesthetic complications and ensure the best possible outcomes.
