Regional Anesthesia for Postoperative Pain in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Case Series

Friday, November 14, 2025
10:09 AM - 10:17 AM CT
Location: Griffin Hall - Screen 08
Introduction: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) undergoing cardiac surgery are increasingly common and present unique anesthetic challenges due to complex cardiac physiology and high perioperative risk. While regional anesthesia reduces time to extubation and hospital length of stay (LOS) in pediatric congenital heart surgery (1), similar literature in ACHD is limited. This case series details individualized regional anesthetic techniques as part of multimodal analgesia to optimize outcomes in this unique population.
