Care of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients in special situations requires insightful knowledge of the pathophysiology of the cardiopulmonary system and close interaction with different specialists, depending on the situation. The role of this task force was to gather knowledge about five conditions that PH patients may be faced with. These conditions are 1) perioperative care; 2) management of pregnancy; 3) medication adherence; 4) palliative care; and 5) the influence of climate on PH. Many of these aspects have not been covered by previous World Symposia on Pulmonary Hypertension. All of the above conditions are highly affected by psychological, geographical and socioeconomic factors, and share the need for adequate healthcare provision. The task force identified significant gaps in information and research in these areas. The current recommendations are based on detailed literature search and expert opinion. The task force calls for further studies and research to better understand and address the special circumstances that PH patients may encounter.

在特殊情况下护理肺动脉高压 （PH） 患者需要对心肺系统的病理生理学有深入的了解，并根据具体情况与不同的专家进行密切互动。该工作组的作用是收集有关 PH 患者可能面临的五种情况的知识。这些条件是 1） 围手术期护理;2） 怀孕管理;3） 药物依从性;4） 姑息治疗;5） 气候对 PH 的影响。其中许多方面在以前的世界肺动脉高压研讨会中没有涉及。上述所有情况都受到心理、地理和社会经济因素的高度影响，并且都需要提供足够的医疗保健。工作组确定了这些领域信息和研究方面的重大差距。目前的建议基于详细的文献检索和专家意见。该工作组呼吁进一步研究和研究，以更好地了解和解决 PH 患者可能遇到的特殊情况。
