May warrant caution with prolonged anesthesia in pediatric CHD repair; leaves open neurotoxicity as a contributor to deficits.
Does prolonged anesthetic exposure increase the risk of neurologic deficits in children undergoing surgical repair of congenital heart disease?
Children undergoing surgical repair for congenital heart disease may be uniquely vulnerable to anesthetic neurotoxicity, warranting further investigation into anesthesia as a potential etiology for neurologic deficits in this population.
Wise‐Faberowski et al. (2014) conducted a review in Congenital heart disease. Anesthesia was evaluated. This review highlights the potential risk of anesthetic neurotoxicity and neurologic deficits in children undergoing surgical repair for congenital heart disease.
