This chapter describes general principles relevant to anesthesia for children with congenital heart disease; it does not present recipes for individual cardiac defects. The pathophysiology is presented as it relates to principles of management, patient assessment, selection and application of an anesthetic regimen, and specific cardiac lesions and procedures. Knowledge of these principles should permit safe administration of anesthesia to children with congenital heart disease undergoing both cardiac and non cardiac operations. Optimal management will occur when the anesthesiologist regularly becomes involved in the care of these patients and has special insight and rapport with the entire cardiovascular staff, such that care is provided by a cohesive team in a smooth continuum from the preoperative preparation and diagnosis through the postoperative discharge.
