Mean ± SD. TOF, tetralogy of Fallot; HC, healthy children; SpO2, saturation of pulse oxygen; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; pH, potential of hydrogen; CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass; AO, aortic occlusion; NA, not available. Bold values represents that the results have statistical significance.
