Hospital Course Was brought in for  observation due to hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19.  Patient's COVID-19 is a mild coarse currently and requires no additional oxygen after some steroids and single dose remdesivir.  Patient possibly has some component of this hypoxia attributed to obstructive sleep apnea.  Recommend outpatient sleep study and potentially positive pressure at night in the outpatient setting.     We will go ahead and discharge the patient to home with further follow-up from his primary care provider.

Supplemental oxygen will be prescribed to the patient on discharge today.  Discharge the patient home as he is not requiring high levels of O2.  We will discharge him with 6 mg of dexamethasone daily for 3 additional days for total of 5 days of steroids.  I have prescribed some Zofran in case of additional episodes of nausea so that he can tolerate oral intake better.  A  significant portion of his hypoxia could be related to apneic episodes.  As such, I have ordered for outpatient sleep study to be completed after discharge with primary care physician follow-up.  Patient has been instructed to return to the ED if he feels short of breath or his symptoms worsen.  Primary Care Provider UNKNOWN PRIMARY CARE PHY  Electronically signed on Jul-27-2022 1303
