Abstract
(Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 125(2):393–402, 2017)This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the efficiency of inhaled aerosolized vasodilators, intravenously administered ones, and a placebo on pulmonary hypertension (PH) treatment and management in cardiac surgery patients. With PH being a hemodynamic issue, which can cause right ventricular failure leading to a worsening of the condition of cardiac surgery patients, managing PH and addressing the challenge are important.
