Median (minimum, maximum) age, body weight and length, body surface area at operation and duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping time, duration of mechanical ventilation, and days on the intensive care unit for male and female patients (Mann–Whitney U-test). The incidence of multiple organ dysfunction is also shown (Fisher's exact test). *Times for the patient who underwent a second cardiopulmonary bypass run because of a residual shunt are cumulative. | |||
