Provides Saudi guidelines on the general management and supportive therapy for patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Guides supportive PH care decisions for Saudi clinicians now; extends international guidelines to regional populations.
Treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients is challenging and should only be initiated after a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. Such treatment should ideally be done in specialized centers with full capability for hemodynamic measurements, having access to a broad range of PAH therapies, and adequate experience in the management of critically ill patients. The following discussion is intended to review the general measures and the non-specific (supportive) therapy used in managing PH patients, while the specific therapy will be discussed in a subsequent different article.
