Postoperative Central Nervous System Management in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Congenital Heart Disease in Pediatric and Adult Patients

Abstract

The mortality rate of neonates and pediatrics with congenital heart diseases has decreased during the last decades due to advanced techniques of care especially the perioperative surgical, anesthetic, and intensive care. However, emerging concern has increased regarding neurologic and neurodevelopmental outcome of these patients, with broad list of etiologies and multifactorial risk factors. Different studies have quoted different results for the rate of neurologic injuries: even as high as 70 % in some studies (Mahle et al. 2002; Galli et al. 2004; McQuillen et al. 2007; Block et al. 2010; Hirsch et al. 2012; Gaynor et al. 2015; van Tilborg et al. 2016).
