The patient was seen in the emergency department yesterday for for nasal congestion and sore throat, she was feeling fine and labs were pretty normal, had some diarrhea.  And x-ray did not show any infiltrates she was discharged home.  Today she presents with a fall.  The patient was receiving her daughter on the gait.  At that time she her daughter was standing right in front of her and witnessed the fall.  The patient fell backwards straight on the floor hitting her head.  The daughter was by the bedside in the ED told me that she briefly jerked a bit, protruded her tongue.  At first she thought that the mother was dead but then thought her abdomen moving and called 911.  The patient had a similar fall about 4 weeks ago when she was putting dishes in the dishwasher.  The patient herself was alert and oriented x3 right now to does not recall the syncopal event.  She has chronic diarrhea.  And her daughter brought her electrolyte drinks today just because she thought the patient was dehydrated.    she  is vitally stable in the ED the Labs are suggestive of a normal white count, AKI on CKD stage III, mild elevation of bilirubin.  Urine analysis a day ago showed UTI.  Urine culture growing E. coli . the patient is COVID-positive.  CT scan of the head shows posterior parafalcine subdural hematoma as well as a probable small subdural hematoma overlying the right frontoparietal convexity.  Patchy subarachnoid hemorrhage in the bilateral frontoparietal cortical Salibi and probably in the right temporal occipital cortical sulci.  These findings were discussed by Dr. in the ED with Dr. who is a neurosurgeon.  He he said the patient can be admitted to Hospital and we just need to monitor with a repeat CT scan in the morning and keep the blood pressure systolic under 160.  Review of Systems     13 point review systems negative except for what is mentioned above  Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours   Hemodynamics   Neurologic   Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported     Constitutional:  No acute distress,  Eyes:  PERRLA,  EOMI,  normal conjunctiva,  no scleral icterus  ENMT:  Moist oral mucosa  Neck:  Supple, non-tender, intact range of motion  Respiratory:  Lungs CTAB  Cardiovascular:  Regular rate and rhythm  Gastrointestinal:  Soft, non-tender, non-distended  Musculoskeletal:  No joint swelling, no deformity, intact ROM  Integumentary:  Intact, warm, dry no rashes  Neurologic: Alert & Oriented   Psychiatric:  Cooperative, appropriate mood and affect    Assessment/Plan       1. Subdural bleeding   I62.00   CT scan in the AM,   - systolic blood pressure < 160   - SCD  -  NephroCheck q2,   - orthostatic vitals,   - gentle hydration   -no compression effect at the moment  - ED discussed wit Dr    2. Subarachnoid bleed   I60.9   problems 1    3. COVID   U07.1   - no Rx indicated, on room air,    4. AKI (acute kidney injury)   N17.9   - likely pre renal in etiology, continue hydration    5. UTI (urinary tract infection)   N39.0   - ceftriaxone 1gm daily for 5 days   - follow urine culture for sensitivities    6. Fall   W19.XXXA   - this falls looks like its from acute infection, weakness,   - orthostatic,vitals , telemtry, repeat head ct in the morning.    7. Chronic diarrhea   K52.9   - noted, i dont see any GI Consultation, will admit and monitor her bowel movement for now, family tells me it is always like that. may be need a colonoscopy outpatient    Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent  40 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient?s response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The 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. Please see the MDM section and the rest of this note for further information on patient assessment and treatment.
