He was saturating at 97-98% on room air. CRP continues to decrease.   He will undergo a stress test this morning as ordered by Dr.   Per Dr. his metoprolol will be decreased to once per day. Amiodarone drip was discontinued and oral 200 mg BID started.   Although the patient still has a low heart rate he shows no signs of deterioration clinically.   Renal function improved slightly. We will continue with aggressive hydration at 200 mL/hr.   His glucose levels look much better today suggesting the change we made to high dose insulin has worked. He will need outpatient management for his diabetes.   We will continue with dexamethasone, remdesivir, and cefepime. Continue to withhold allopurinol, metformin, losartan due to decreased kidney function.   Morning labs: CBC, BMP, CRP, procalcitonin  Electronically signed by RESIDENT DO on Sep-20-2022 1701 I have seen and physically examined the patient on [9-20-2022] and agree with the documentation the resident.
