title: [Anesthesiological aspects in non-cardiac surgery for patients with congenital heart disease].
abstract: There are about 6000 children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) born in Germany each year. This number is constant irrespective of the improving prenatal diagnostics. As many of the surgically treated patients now reach adulthood, due to the development of treatments and operations for CHD, there is an increasing likelihood that surgically treated patients with CHD come to be treated in non-specialized hospitals at any time. Furthermore, it enables anesthesiologists, who have not so much opportunities to treat patients with CHD, to handle such patients safely and successfully, when further knowledge of underlying heart failure and related pathophysiologic characteristics are known. The purpose of this article is to achieve a respectful and confident treatment for patients who had corrective or palliative operations for CHD.
