The third edition of Anesthesia for Congenital Heart Disease, the recognized gold-standard reference in this field, offers a major update and expansion of the textbook to reflect the ongoing development of the practice of pediatric and congenital cardiac anesthesia and the burgeoning knowledge base in this exciting field.

- Includes two new chapters addressing key areas anesthetic and sedative neurotoxicity in the patient with congenital heart disease, and anesthesia in the patient with pulmonary hypertension
- Now in full color, with over 200 illustrations and photographs
- Includes procedural video presentations covering important aspects of congenital cardiac anesthetic practice, such as invasive monitoring catheter insertion, airway management, cardiopulmonary bypass techniques, and basic transesophageal echocardiography
- Multiple-choice questions accompany each chapter covering the most crucial learning points to optimize the learning experience for readers at all levels
