Abstract
A child whose cardiac disease has been corrected, who is developing well, has no exercise restriction and undergoes regular cardiologic follow-up does not present more risks than any normal American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1-2 child. Any other situation requires close communication with the child's paediatric cardiologist to evaluate the risks of both anaesthesia and outpatient care, and make an individualized decision accordingly.
