title: [A case of Fontan operation for complex heart disease with good post-operative course by the management of hypothermia in coming off from cardiopulmonary bypass].
abstract: A 8-year-old boy with a complex heart disease was underwent Fontan operation with Glenn operation, and had a good post-operative course by the management of hypothermia in coming off from cardiopulmonary bypass around 31 degrees C. The hypothermic therapy was thought to be effective in acute stage after Fontan operation, because it improved tachycardia, decreased the systemic metabolism, redistributed the systemic arterial blood flow and increased the urinary output.
