Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension, characterized by elevated pressures in the pulmonary arteries leading to abnormalities in right ventricular function, may lead to competing demands between the pulmonary and systemic circulation during sepsis and septic shock. As a result, management of pulmonary hypertension in sepsis, including identifying the source of infection, maintaining hemodynamic stability and continuing or transitioning pulmonary hypertension-specific therapies can often be challenging. The goal of this review is to highlight factors to consider in the evaluation and management of patients with pulmonary hypertension and sepsis.
