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. Features of this title:

• Thoroughly updated to reflect new evidence and emerging techniques, with new sections and numerous recent references leading you straight to the most important current research
• Includes two new chapters addressing key areas; anesthetic and sedative neurotoxicity in the patient with congenital heart disease (Chapter 9), and anesthesia in the patient with pulmonary hypertension (chapter 28)
• Now in full color, with over 200 illustrations and photographs
• Multiple-choice questions accompany each chapter covering the most crucial learning points to optimize the learning experience for readers at all levels
