Overview

Congenital cardiac anesthesiologists play a critical role within multidisciplinary teams responsible for the care of neonates, children, and adults with congenital heart disease. The CCAS Annual Meeting 2024 recognizes the importance of collaboration between anesthesiologists, surgeons, cardiologists, intensivists, perfusionists, nurses, and researchers in achieving optimal patient outcomes.

The conference focuses on practical clinical management, emerging research, leadership development, patient safety initiatives, and innovations in congenital cardiac care.

A major theme of the meeting is the management of the borderline left ventricle in neonates, featuring perspectives from fetal cardiology, cardiac surgery, intensive care, and anesthesia specialists.
