| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Early circuit separation enhances the long-term success of Fontan haemodynamics. To test this hypothesis, we analysed the postoperative cardiopulmonary capacity in children and adults. PATIENTS: Spiroergometry was performed at least twice in 43 patients with a median age of 14 (range: 7-43) years, with a median time interval of 4.6 (1.1-10.4) years between early and late testing. Twenty-eight patients had been operated on in childhood and 15 as adults. The exercise capacity (W(max)) and oxygen consumption capacity (VO(2max)) were compared between children and adults. RESULTS: The VO(2max) in children early postoperatively was better than in adults (median 27.9 vs 22.9, p=0.032). Both VO(2max) (median 30.1 ml min(-1) kg(-1) vs 16.9 ml min(-1)kg(-1), p<0.001), and W(max) (median 2.2 W kg(-1) vs 1.4 W kg(-1), p<0.001) were significantly better in children late after surgery. In the patient group as a whole, there was a significant decrease of VO(2max) between early and later testing (median 26.5 l min(-1) kg(-1) vs 20.7 l min(-1) kg(-1), p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Fontan palliation in early childhood results in better cardiopulmonary capacity during long-term follow-up. Regular surveillance of the physical capacity by spiroergometry is indispensable for the supervision of patients with Fontan haemodynamics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
