Abstract

Guidelines were created at our single centrer institution for which anesthesiology team should care for pediatric cardiac patients for noncardiac surgery. The goal of the survey was to assess inter-team dynamics after the implementation of guidelines and revealed that practice behaviour can quickly change but a sustained change in team dynamics and workplace culture takes time.

Keywords: anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery; congenital heart disease; pediatric cardiac anesthesia guidelines; team dynamics.
