About this trial
The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of renal near infrared spectroscopy in the outpatient setting during the interstage period. The primary aim will be to determine the correlation between oxygen extraction ratio ((arterial pulse oximetry - renal near infrared spectroscopy value)/arterial pulse oximetry value) with need for inpatient admission or intervention. Secondary aims will be to determine the correlation of the oxygen extraction ratio with weight gain, neurodevelopment, unexpected admissions, systemic ventricular strain by echocardiography, and Glenn hospitalization admission characteristics.
