Understanding pulmonary circulation modulation is key for anesthesiologists and intensivists. New therapies for pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure are emerging, improving perioperative outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary Physiology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Pulmonary circulation disorders can be primary or secondary to cardiac/pulmonary pathologies.
  • Pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure increase perioperative mortality, especially after cardiac surgery.
  • Anesthetic agents and cardiopulmonary bypass impact pulmonary circulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review new insights into pulmonary circulation modulation during general anesthesia.
  • To discuss anesthesiological management during cardiopulmonary surgery.
  • To explore therapeutic strategies for pulmonary circulatory disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent publications on cardiopulmonary bypass, one-lung ventilation, and transplantation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of conventional and experimental therapeutic strategies.
  • Focus on modulation of pulmonary circulation during anesthesia and intensive care.

    • Main Results:

    • New insights into pulmonary circulation modulation during general anesthesia with volatile anesthetics.
    • Discussion of anesthesiological management in cardiopulmonary surgery, including bypass and ventilation.
    • Review of therapeutic strategies for pulmonary circulatory disorders in intensive care.

    Conclusions:

    • Pathophysiology of pulmonary circulatory disorders requires further research.
    • New therapies must be rigorously evaluated.
    • Inhaled vasodilators are transitioning from experimental to clinical practice for specific indications.
