Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a hypoxic challange test (HCT) in children with congenital heart of lung disease. This HCT was previously developped and use in healthy children (Kobbernagel et al 2013). Feasibility is defined as succesful run through of the measurements in 75% of the subjects.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary aim is to monitor the oxygen saturation during each of the activities using a pulse oxymeter (index finger) and a tissue saturation monitor (NIRS) on the forehead and leg. (m. vasus lateratus). These values will be compared to the values obtained breating regular (sea level) air (21% oxygen).	—
