Pharmacologic management of perioperative pulmonary hypertension.
Abstract
Perioperative pulmonary hypertension can originate from an established disease or
acutely develop within the surgical setting. Patients with increased pulmonary vascular
resistance are consequently at greater risk for complications. Despite the various
specific therapies available, the ideal therapeutic approach in this patient population
is not currently clear. This article describes the basic principles of perioperative
pulmonary hypertension and reviews the different classes of agents used to promote
pulmonary vasodilation in the surgical setting.
