Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of a ventilator for external abdominal compression to enhance atrial filling in infants post-Fontan procedure.
Implemented abdominal compression using a ventilator reservoir bag in the ICU.
Monitored mean right atrial pressure changes after the intervention.
Assessed the need for volume loading and inotropic support before and after compression.
Elevated mean right atrial pressure observed in both cases post-compression.
Reduced need for volume loading in the treated infants.
Decreased reliance on inotropic support noted after the intervention.
