Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a haemodynamic manifestation of cardiorespiratory and non-cardiorespiratory pathologies. Cardiorespiratory pathologies account for nearly three-fourths of patients with PH. It is now increasingly being recognised due to routine requests for transthoracic echocardiographic examination in the perioperative setting in patients undergoing intermediate- to high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The increased risks of perioperative morbidity and mortality attributed to PH have been widely acknowledged in the literature. The importance of PH in perioperative decision-making and postoperative outcomes has had little mention in all the guidelines. Understanding the complexity of the pathophysiology of PH may help in anaesthetic and surgical decision-making. Preoperative evaluation and risk assessment are guided by the nature, extent, invasiveness, and duration of surgery. Surgical decision-making and anaesthetic management involve preoperative risk stratification, understanding the interactions between surgical procedures and PH, and understanding the interactions between anaesthetic procedures, PH, and cardiopulmonary interactions. Intraoperative and postoperative monitoring is crucial for maintaining the haemodynamic parameters and helps titrate anaesthetic agents and medication. This narrative review focusses on all issues related to anaesthetic and surgical challenges in patients with PH. This review aimed to suggest a preoperative evaluation plan, surgical decision-making, anaesthetic plan, and anaesthetic management based on the evidence available in the literature.
