Official Title: Effect of Positive Pressure Ventilation on Hemodynamics Around Delayed Sternal Closure Following Stage 1 Palliation of the Single Ventricle

Brief Summary: This study will examine the cardiopulmonary interactions that occur with increasing ventilator settings (PEEP and PIP) in neonates after stage I palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome before and after sternal closure. Outcome measures include oxygen delivery and cardiac output.
