Current Anesthesia Practices of Pediatric Cardiac Surgeries in Tertiary Maternity and Children's Hospitals in China: A National Survey.
To describe the current development of Chinese pediatric cardiac anesthesia practices. ⋯ Pediatric cardiac medical resources are mainly concentrated in Eastern China, and most hospitals capable of performing high-risk cardiac surgeries are located in the eastern part of the country. The authors found that pediatric cardiac anesthesia practices varied widely among the hospitals, and the main problem with pediatric cardiac anesthesia in China is that there is no systemic fellowship training curriculum at present; therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fellowship training curriculum to further improve the quality of Chinese pediatric cardiac anesthesia.
