Background The risk of complications, including death, is substantially increased in patients
with pulmonary hypertension (PH) undergoing anaesthesia for surgical procedures …

Background Whether and how pulmonary hypertension (PH) impacts perioperative outcome
in non-cardiac surgery is incompletely understood. Methods From November 1999, all …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients
undergoing surgery and anesthesia. This document represents the first international …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known risk factor for perioperative complications. Unlike
in the case of cardiac surgery, PH is currently not listed as an independent risk factor for …

Objectives: We sought to determine the predictors of short-term morbidity and mortality (< 30
days) after noncardiac surgery in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Background …

OBJECTIVES: Perioperative risk associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients
undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS) remains poorly defined. We report perioperative …

Pulmonary hypertension is a complex disorder of the pulmonary vasculature that leads to
increased peri‐operative morbidity and mortality. Non‐cardiac surgery constitutes a …

Anesthesia and surgery are associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality in
patients with pulmonary hypertension due mainly to right ventricular failure, arrhythmias …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure of> 25mm Hg
at rest, is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period. The …

Perioperative management of pulmonary hypertension remains one of the most challenging
scenarios during cardiac surgery. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to …
