Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common types of birth defects, with 40,000 newborns diagnosed yearly in the United States. This article describes: (1) four common heart defects seen in neonatal intensive care units, (2) the typical medical/nursing care of these neonates, and (3) common surgical management for the defects. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, dextro-transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum are four common types of CHD requiring NICU admission. Knowledge of these defects will help nurses to appropriately manage and treat neonates with these types of CHD.
