Abstract
This chapter discusses the roles of both diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization in the management of critically ill infants and children. Providers caring for these patients should be comfortable interpreting invasively acquired hemodynamic data and should recognize the limitations of catheterization data and associated flow and resistance calculations. It is also important to understand indications for both diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization and to be able to carefully consider the risk-benefit equation for any given patient for whom cardiac catheterization may be considered.
