4. Making the single chamber a systemic ventricle and a pulmonary blood supply completely passive can pose a lot of problems such as protein loss enteropathy, liver congestion, lymphatic drainage disorders etc. which makes the patients prone to gastroesophageal reflux and
5. Very unpredictable in terms of pharmacokinetics of local anesthetics.The golden standard remains general anesthesia with a few things to keep in mind:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎯" title="Volltreffer" aria-label="Emoji: Volltreffer"> If Fontan isn& #39;t completed mild hypoxaemia must be accepted during GA and FiO2 kept as low as possible&as high as necessary
