Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
Pleural effusions continue to be a post-operative complication seen after Fontan operation. This study will examine the use inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) given for 54 hours after Fontan operation to improve fluid balance. The study hypothesis is that inhaled nitric oxide after Fontan operation will improve fluid balance, thus decreasing the incidence of pleural effusions and shortening hospital stay.
