Official Title: Oral Positive Pressure Device (oPEP) Effect on Flow Pulsatility in the Fontan Circuit

Brief Summary: This is a pilot study using a novel, minimal risk, portable, hands-free oral-positive pressure device (oPEP) in patients with Fontan palliation that will examine whether using this device in both the acute and chronic phase will alter Fontan hemodynamics and create pulsatility in the Fontan circuit and thereby increasing cardiac output.This device is easy to use and poses no significant risk to human subjects.The investigators will measure this through echocardiographic measures including pulsatility in different…
