title: The anaesthetist and paediatric cardiac catheterization.
abstract: Despite recent developments in echocardiography and MR imaging, cardiac catheterization continues to be an important preoperative investigation in children with heart disease. Anaesthetic management varies considerably, but the presence of a skilled, well-informed anaesthetist should be invaluable in the early recognition and treatment of dangerous complications which may occur during the procedure.
