Discussion Forum: Pulmonary Hypertension DUE to….
Hemodynamic monitoring allows the clinician to monitor and trend PVR. Patients with pulmonary hypertension have increased PVR. Review the 5 types of pulmonary hypertension using the information found at: https://phassociation.org/types-pulmonary-hypertension-groups/ This will give you a very basic understanding of the types. Further research will expand your knowledge.
For your initial discussion post, choose one of the 5 types to do a deep dive into. Describe the underlying cause of the pulmonary hypertension, hemodynamic values that you would expect, what patient population it affects, treatment or management options, and how your treatment of the patient might be different from other pulmonary patients. Think about how you would manage this patient in the hospital, including any ventilator strategies you might need to use.
