S5E12 Pulmonary Hypertension

In this episode of Airwayve, Alex and Josephine dive into the challenges of managing pulmonary hypertension in the OR. We begin by reviewing normal pulmonary vascular physiology, then move into the mechanisms and classifications of pulmonary hypertension. From there, we unpack the anesthetic implications, focusing on hemodynamic goals, drug choices, and monitoring strategies.
To bring these principles into context, we walk through a clinical scenario and consider how to assess risk, plan an induction, maintain stability throughout surgery, and safely manage emergence in a patient with pulmonary hypertension.
Whether you’re preparing for clerkship or aiming to sharpen your understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology, this episode offers a clear and practical guide to navigating pulmonary hypertension in anesthesia.
