ASSESSMENT AND PLAN Pulmonary: Acute hypoxic resp failure due to COVID pneumonitis. Failed BiPAP. Was intubated 2/1, begun on proning and FS Flolan. FiO2/PEEP requirement improving. Weaning flolan.    Claims h/o pulmonary TB; need to get more details - unable to corroborate as yet on Care Everywhere. Had essentially nl CXR 10/31/21 (see report above).   Cardiac/Hemodynamics:  Persistent tachycardia - resolved since intubation.  HTN - resumed his PTA Lisinopril/HCTZ; now both DC with lower BP's on vent. Hypotension - since started on deep sedation with intubation - Cont Levophed   Renal/Fluids/Electrolytes: Nl renal fcn, lytes. Has been on furosemide 20 mg q 8 hrs since 2/1; back off to daily as of 2/3. Is on K/Mg replacement protocols.

On 1/28 PM was started on empiric ceftriaxone (thru 2/3) and azithro (completed 5 day course 2/1) to cover for possible CAP.  Also has h/o TB - not seeing much to corroborate any details.
