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
