Pulmonary hypertension and anesthesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary circulation is a high flow, low resistance circuit capable of accommodating the entire right ventricular output at one-fifth the pressure of the systemic circulation. This is due to the higher compliance of the pulmonary circulation compared to the systemic circulation. Normal pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is 18-30/4-14 mmHg, and normal mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) is 12-16 mmHg.

متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...

The options available are widening with availability of newer therapeutic agents and thus it becomes necessary to be updated with the recent developments. Objective. To review the existi...
متن کاملAnesthesia and pulmonary hypertension.
Anesthesia and surgery are associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension due mainly to right ventricular failure, arrhythmias, postoperative hypoxemia, and myocardial ischemia. Preoperative risk assessment and successful management of patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiac surgery involve an understanding of the pathophy...
