Intensive Care of the Adult with Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

There are more adults living with congenital heart disease than children. Many of these adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) will require a surgery or intervention, which may or not be related to their congenital heart disease (CHD). The successful anesthetic management of adults with CHD requires a stepwise approach to consider all the relevant factors. The perioperative management of ACHD patients requires a multidisciplinary team collaboration, and those with complex lesions should be cared for in centers with experience in CHD.
