Abstract
The perioperative management of pulmonary hypertension continues to be a great challenge for anesthesiologists. Among the various types of pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease is the most common, while pulmonary hypertensive crisis is one of the causes of perioperative mortality in these patients. We present the case of a 54-year-old female with severe valvular heart disease complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension and massive hemothorax, who underwent emergency exploratory thoracotomy, mitral valve replacement, and tricuspid valvuloplasty. The patient was in critical condition and suspected to have a pulmonary hypertension crisis. The rationale for this case report is to learn about the anesthetic management of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension.
