Abstract
Anesthesia for the child with congenital heart disease (CHD) is fundamentally the same whether for cardiac or noncardiac surgery. The anesthetic plan is predicated upon an understanding of the cardiovascular (CV) pathophysiology and its clinical presentation (see Chapter: CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY OF CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE). The anesthetic implications follow logically from the knowledge of the alterations of physiology.
