Why the study?
The authors sought to evaluate the effect of pharmacologic therapy on pulmonary hypertension in the perioperative setting of elective cardiac surgery.
Do inodilators and pulmonary vasodilators improve in-hospital mortality in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing elective cardiac surgery?
Do inodilators and pulmonary vasodilators improve in-hospital mortality in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing elective cardiac surgery?
Inhaled prostacyclin may improve in-hospital mortality and reduce ICU length of stay for patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing elective cardiac surgery, though current evidence is limited by low event rates.
Inhaled prostacyclin may lower perioperative mortality in cardiac surgery patients with PH; supports its preferential consideration while underscoring need for confirmatory trials.
