This webpage contains a collection of bedside resources for the practitioner who is providing bedside nursing care for infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD). These resources have been developed by a group of advance practice nurses from around the country with the goal of providing a quick, comprehensive overview of the bedside care for the nurse at the point of care. Each topic in this outline may be opened, printed, and taken to the bedside for quick reference or serve as a guideline for further investigation on the care or problems that are presented by the child with CHD. Every effort has been made to provide the most current, up-to-date practice recommendations however institutional differences may occur.
