Odegard et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=5,213). Anesthesia during cardiac surgery was evaluated on Cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest occurred in 0.79% of anesthetics for congenital heart disease surgery, with anesthesia-related arrests occurring at a rate of 21.1 per 10,000 anesthetics and no associated mortality.
