General Endotracheal Anesthesia vs Total Intravenous Anesthesia for Children Undergoing Low-Risk Cardiac Catheterization.

Historically, children undergoing cardiac catheterization have been managed with general endotracheal anesthesia (GETA). However, recent practice has favored general anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). This study compares procedural outcomes in the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory (PCCL) for children undergoing low-risk cardiac catheterization with GETA vs.
