1 Reduced pleural drainage, length of stay, and readmissions using a modified Fontan management protocol  Nancy A. Pike, PhD, Carol A. Okuhara, MN, Joy Toyama, MS, Barbara P. Gross, MSN, Winfield J. Wells, MD, Vaughn A.

2 Figure 1 Duration of pleural drainage between groups as determined by the number of postoperative days (PODs) before chest tubes (CT) were removed. The bold horizontal black line indicates the median number of PODs before CTs were removed. Lighter horizontal lines framing the border of the box indicates the 25th and 75th percentiles for each patient group. The open circles indicate the outliers in each patient group and the whiskers depicted by the outer horizontal lines connected to the vertical dashed lines indicate the minimum and maximum values, excluding the outliers.

3 Figure 2 Comparison between groups in hospital length of stay measured in postoperative days. The bold horizontal black line indicates the median length of stay after Fontan. Lighter horizontal lines framing the border of the box indicates the 25th and 75th percentiles for each patient group. The open circles indicate the outliers in each patient group and the whiskers depicted by the outer horizontal lines connected to the vertical dashed lines indicate the minimum and maximum values, excluding the outliers.
