Anesthesia for Congenital Heart Disease

Anesthesia for congenital heart disease involves careful management during surgery or medical procedures for patients with heart defects present at birth. These patients may have unique heart structures, which can complicate how their bodies respond to anesthesia. Anesthesiologists assess each patient's condition and choose specific anesthetic drugs and techniques to ensure safety and comfort. Continuous monitoring of heart function and oxygen levels is crucial throughout the procedure. Collaborating with cardiologists, the anesthesia team tailors their approach to minimize risks and achieve a successful outcome, considering the patient's specific heart condition and overall health.
