Anesthesia for cardiac surgery in neonates and infants.
The optimal management of neonates undergoing repair of complex congenital cardiac lesions requires detailed knowledge by the anesthesiologist of the anatomic and physiologic abnormalities and their consequences on the perioperative course. Management of these patients should not be undertaken in isolation but requires a concerted team approach for acceptable levels of mortality and morbidity to be obtained.
