  1. The population for this table is Glenn/Fontan subjects with usable arterial waveform data, DBP diastolic blood pressure, SBP systolic blood pressure, ETCO2 end-tidal carbon dioxide.
  2. aFisher’s exact test.
  3. bWilcoxon rank-sum test.
  4. cDBP is considered adequate if ≥ 25 mmHg for neonates and infants and ≥ 30 mmHg for children.
  5. dSBP is considered adequate if ≥ 60 mmHg for neonates and infants and ≥ 80 mmHg for children.
