Oxygen inhalation decreases the central venous pressure in adult patients late after Fontan operations

CONCLUSIONS: Oxygen inhalation increased SaO2 and decreased CVP, especially in patients with high baseline CVP. Further studies with home oxygen therapy are needed to investigate the long-term effects of oxygen inhalation in adult patients who underwent Fontan operations.PMID:38401702 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.02.010
