The Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Patient Morbidity and Length of Hospital Stay Following Fontan Operation
Pleural effusions continue to be a post-operative complication seen after Fontan operation.
This study will examine the use inhaled nitric oxide given for 54 hours after Fontan
operation to improve fluid balance. The study hypothesis is that inhaled nitric oxide after

effusions and shortening hospital stay.
