Different compositions of teams trained in cardiology, critical care, cardiothoracic surgery, anesthesia, and neonatology have been identified as being primarily responsible for perioperative care of this high-risk population in dedicated cardiac intensive care units (CICUs). Although the specific role of cardiac intensivists has become more well defined over the past two decades, the responsibilities of neonatologists remain highly variable in the CICU with neonatologists providing care along with a unique spectrum of primary, shared, or consultative care. The neonatologist can function as the primary physician and assume all or share responsibility with the cardiac intensivists for the management of infants with CHD. A neonatologist can provide care as a secondary consultant physician in a supportive role for the primary CICU team. Additionally, neonates with CHD can be mixed with older children in a CICU, cohorted in a dedicated space within the CICU or placed in a stand-alone infant CICU without older children. Although variations exist between centers on which model of care is deployed and the location within a CICU, characterization of current practice patterns represents the initial step required to determine optimal best practices to improve the quality of care for neonates with cardiac disease.
