- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a hypoxic<br /><br>challange test (HCT) in children with congenital heart of lung disease. This<br /><br>HCT was previously developped and use in healthy children (Kobbernagel et al<br /><br>2013). Feasibility is defined as succesful run through of the measurements in<br /><br>75% of the subjects. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The secondary aim is to monitor the oxygen saturation during each of the<br /><br>activities using a pulse oxymeter (index finger) and a tissue saturation<br /><br>monitor (NIRS) on the forehead and leg. (m. vasus lateratus). These values will<br /><br>be compared to the values obtained breating regular (sea level) air (21%<br /><br>oxygen).</p><br>
