Abstract :Infants with complex cardiac pathologies appear to have increasing survival rates over years. Thus, anesthesiologists encounter more patients with congenital cardiac disease for any kind of non-cardiac procedures. Non-cardiac procedures can be required before or after cardiac repair but it has to be known that patients with repaired pathologies may still have residual problems. Preoperative assessment of these patients includes knowledge of cardiac anatomy/ pathology, learning surgical history, understanding pathophysiology and investigating presence and severity of symptoms. Despite the anatomic differences in patients with congenital cardiac diseases, the goal of anesthetic management is to optimize oxygenation and ventricular function. In this review, the specific considerations in the perioperative anesthetic management of patients with congenital cardiac disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery are summarized
