Patient able to give history.  Nursing home found patient weakened and obtunded at the nursing home.  His oxygen saturation was found to be 70% on room air.  For the past 24 hours he had not been eating or drinking well which is much worse than baseline.  As there has been a noted decline and hypoxia he was brought to the emergency room for further evaluation.  He had no noted fevers or chills.  No vomiting or diarrhea noted as well.   In the emergency room his blood pressure was 85/67 pulse rate 107 respiratory rate 23 temperature 36.8 oxygen saturation was 91% on 15 L nonrebreather mask.   Serology: White count 21,600 with left shift hemoglobin 14.4 hematocrit 46.6 and a platelet count of 508,000.  Sodium 152 potassium 3.9 chloride of 113 bicarb 28 BUN 65 creatinine 2.13.

Large leukocyte esterase and greater than 100 WBCs as well as greater than 100 RBCs with many bacteria.  COVID PCR positive.  Influenza AMB negative.  CT scan of brain showed negative findings for acute intracranial hemorrhage with no convincing mass effect.  Encephalomalacia in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres as discussed likely representing chronic infarcts.  Advanced generalized volume loss.  Chest x-ray showed left lower lobe airspace disease suspicious for consolidative pneumonia.  Small left pleural effusion.  CTA of the chest showed multifocal pneumonia including dense consolidation left lower lobe.

Sepsis   A41.9  Patient presents with sepsis criteria source likely being that of pneumonia/COVID/UTI.  Sepsis protocol has been initiated.  Patient's been given IV fluid rehydration.  Blood cultures x2 including urine for Legionella and strep antigens are pending.  Patient has been started on broad-spectrum IV antibiotic therapy will make adjustments antibiotics based on culture data.  Procalcitonin level pending as well.   2. Pneumonia   J18.9  Institutional acquired pneumonia.  Broad-spectrum antibiotics have been started.  Culture data pending.  Continue RT protocol and oxygen titration to maintain saturations greater than 88%.   3. COVID-19   U07.1  Patient presents with COVID-19.  His symptoms all appear to be very aggressive with a short timeframe within the last 48 hours.  Given this to be placed in appropriate isolation protocol.  Inflammatory markers have been sent.  Culture data pending and treatment for secondary bacterial infections underway.  He will be started on remdesivir day 1/5 and dexamethasone day 1/10 as well as continue supportive care.  Continue to monitor hydration status very closely as not to produce fluid overload that may lead and put him at risk for ARDS.   4. Hypernatremia   E87.0  Patient has hypovolemic hypernatremia.  Again secondary to dehydration.  We will continue judicious IV fluid rehydration and monitor sodium levels closely making adjustments in fluid type and rate accordingly.   5. Acute kidney injury   N17.9  Patient is acute kidney injury secondary likely to prerenal azotemia and/or associated with his UTI.  We will continue IV fluid rehydration with close monitoring of renal function and treatment of underlying infection.   6. Acute respiratory failure   J96.00  Patient presents for acute respiratory failure.  Currently on high flow oxygen therapy.  He is DNR/DNI comprehensive care.  We will not be intubating this patient according to his wishes if he progresses would consider BiPAP therapy.  Continue RT protocol and treatment of underlying infection.   7. UTI symptoms   R39.9  Patient presents with a UTI.  Urine culture pending.  Broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage has been started.  We will follow-up on culture data and make adjustments antibiotics accordingly.   8. Dementia   F03.90  Patient has baseline dementia and fairly end-stage.  Once tolerating p.o. we will titrate in his home regimen.   9. Type 2 diabetes mellitus   E11.9  Patient blood sugars were significantly elevated on presentation.  We will start on insulin therapy.  We will continue to monitor in the presence of Decadron therapy and will titrate insulin treatments accordingly.  Continue sliding scale insulin as well.   10. Atrial fibrillation   I48.91  Continue monitor closely.  We will initiate rate lowering agents as blood pressure allows.  May require digoxin but will have to monitor closely with renal insufficiency.  We will start anticoagulation as well and continue close monitoring in the ICU setting.   11. Hypertension   I10  Patient is time is hypotensive and septic.  All antihypertensive agents to be on hold for now we will titrate and accordingly.   12. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)   K21.9  Continue reflux precautions and IV PPI therapy.

This critical care time included obtaining a history; examining the patient; pulse oximetry; ordering and review of studies; arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan; evaluation of patient's response to treatment; frequent reassessment; and, discussions with other providers.  This critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time.
