Hipertensão pulmonar persistente do recém-nascido: revisão de conceitos
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
A hipertensão pulmonar persistente do recém-nascido (HPPN) é uma síndrome clínica, causada pela persistência da elevada resistência vascular pulmonar após o nascimento. A falha na transição da circulação fetal para neonatal mantém resistências vasculares pulmonares altas, causando hipoxemia e cianose nos recém-nascidos. Em 2018, foi proposta uma nova classificação para a hipertensão pulmonar e, devido a suas particularidades anatômicas e fisiológicas, a HPPN foi movida para uma subcategoria separada (grupo 1; subgrupo 1.6). No entanto, na prática clínica, a classificação mais utilizada é a de hipertensão pulmonar primária ou idiopática e secundária, quando associada a doenças parenquimatosas pulmonares. O diagnóstico inclui história completa dos fatores de risco, exame físico, medição da saturação de oxigênio pré- e pós-ductal, gasometria arterial, raio X de tórax e ecocardiograma. O entendimento do caráter multifatorial da doença tem levado a pesquisas do papel de mediadores inflamatórios e mecanismos genéticos na fisiopatologia da doença. Além do tratamento tradicional, incluindo ventilação mecânica “gentil”, manutenção da temperatura corporal, controle de eletrólitos, hidratação, analgesia e sedação, novas estratégias baseadas nas diferentes vias inflamatórias têm sido cada vez mais utilizadas na prática clínica.
