Popis: Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is an uncommon disease. We describe two cases of pulmonary hypertension crisis in patients with PPH during general anesthesia. Any factor that worsens primary pulmonary hypertension (strain, hypoxia, pain, hypercapnia, intubation, or hyperinflation) should be avoided.
