Abstract
This chapter discusses the roles of anesthesia and sedation for infants and children with pediatric heart disease. The goal is for providers that are caring for these patients to become comfortable understanding the myriad of options and techniques to support these patients. A variety of options will be explained and which situation is best for which options. It is essential that the team is able to carefully consider the risk/benefit ratio for any given patient for any given procedure.
