Per EMS, pt was reportedly able to verbally communicate yesterday. Pt was noted to be globally weak. Pt's VGB is 64 with a carbon dioxide of 68. Troponin is elevated at 718. Pt on BiPAP. CT chest/abdomen/pelvis demonstrate aspiration pneumonia and prominent rectal stool burden concerning impaction. Pt has received vancomycin, Zosyn and azithromycin in the ED.   Subsequently, his troponin trended down, his na was 149 prior to fluid administration. He was discovered to be covid positive. Will take to icu for electrolyte monitoring and bipap.  This patient is critically ill due to metabolic, hemodynamic and/or respiratory instability. They require high complexity evaluation, decision making, and care. They require ICU level of care and monitoring due to high risk of clinical decompensation with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Critical care time includes, but is not limited to, bedside assessment, review of medical record, radiographic and laboratory results, ventilator and/or respiratory management, review of ekg and/or cardiac monitoring, critical decision making, coordination of care with consultants and/or care team, and documentation of critical intervention/plans, and consultation with patient and/or family. Time excludes any procedural time.  I spent greater than 105 minutes in the evaluation and management of this patient with more than 50% of the time spent counseling and/or coordinating care.  I counseled the patient and/or family about the findings, differential diagnoses, my assessment, recommendations, and plan.  I coordinated care with the multidisciplinary healthcare team.  Review of Systems     A complete, 13-system review was performed and was negative except for as noted in the HPI.

Altered mental status   R41.82  Most likely secondary to hypercapnia, CT head did not demonstrate any acute pathology  The patient's altered mental status does not improve with resolution of hypercapnia we will investigate other sources such as infectious or toxic encephalopathy   2.

Pneumonia   J18.9  Continue BiPAP  Remdesivir and dexamethasone  D-dimer was elevated but not above upper limits normal for age adjustment  CT chest was suggestive of possible pneumonia will cover with antibiotics  Follow cultures   5. CHF exacerbation   I50.9   6. Pulmonary edema   J81.1  Start Lasix drip, patient was retaining urine so we will place Foley monitor I/O's replete lites as needed  Resume home meds as blood pressure allows  Obtain echo  Maintain telemetry   7. Acute on chronic renal insufficiency   N28.9  Versus purely chronic renal insufficiency  Continue to monitor renal function  Avoid nephrotoxic medications  Attempt to obtain records of baseline renal function   8. Hypernatremia   E87.0  Resolved  Continue to monitor throughout diuresis   9. Elevated troponin   R77.8  Trending down, serial EKGs and trops   10. Anemia   D64.9  Maintain hemoglobin greater than 7 transfuse as needed to maintain  Maintain active type and screen  Possibly secondary to underlying CKD no signs of active bleeding   11.
