Clinical narrative: History of Present Illness    Patient is a 77  year old female who presents from Facility with complaint of hypoxia and dyspnea that started several days ago. Patient has PMH of anxiety, anemia type 2 diabetes, HTN, HLD, COPD (2L baseline). This am was found at Facility that O2 saturations were 80% on baseline 2L, on 4L O2 up to 83%.   Patient was taken to Hospital, initially required nasal canula, eventually requiring BIPAP. At outside hospital lab work indicates a leukocytosis of 17.7, hgb of 8.0, AKI with BUN of 22 and Cr of 2.04, D-dimer was elevated, ABG indicates acidosis with pH of 7.25 and pCo2 of 86.8 and pO2 of 67, satting 88%. COVID negative. UA was positive for moderate leuks, many bacteria, negative nitrites. Upon arrival to facility patient was on BiPAP satting 100%, decision was made to transition to HFNC which patient has so far tolerated well. Patient received Levaquin 750mg x1 and Flagyl 500mg IV x1 due to concern for COPD exacerbation and aspiration pneumonia.   Patient denies any fever, chills, chest pain, abdominal pain, lightheadedness, syncope, feeling like her heart is racing too fast or too slow, no back pain, muscle aches, no constipation.  Endorses cough, shortness of breath, wheezing nausea, vomiting (has a hard time holding her food and drink down besides water for a while), abdominal pain, and weakness.

[1]     [1] XR Chest Portable; MD, 11/03/2021 15:28 CDT   Addendum by MD, on November 03, 2021 22:49:42 CDT (Verified)    On the above mentioned date as mentioned in the document header, the patient was seen and examined at the bedside. The key/critical portions of the medicine service were independently performed by me and the management was discussed in detail with the author of this document. Total critical care time spent on patient care excluding procedure  but including clinical case history, laboratory findings, microbiology data, medications, essential ICU flow sheets, ventilator data and imaging studies was > 52 minutes. I agree with the above documented assessment and plan except as follows:  Diagnosis: Acute hypoxic and hypercarbic respiratory failure on BiPAP/HFNC Suspected acute COPD exacerbation versus aspiration pneumonia versus CHF exacerbation Acute kidney injury under evaluation   PMH: Type 2 diabetes, anxiety, anemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD on 2 L oxygen   Labs: ABG at Facility revealed acidosis with pH of 7.25, PCO2 56.8, PO2 67, saturation 88%, COVID-19 negative, UA positive for any bacteria negative for nitrites CBCD WBC 17.7, hemoglobin 8, hematocrit 27.9, platelet count 276, MCV 101.2 UA negative for UTI, D-dimer is 2.2 CMP: Calcium 8.5 sodium 136, potassium 4.4, chloride 96, bicarb 30.8, BUN 22, creatinine 2.04 11/3/2021 blood cultures pending   Imaging: 11/3 chest x-ray portable revealed cardiomegaly with mild pulmonary edema and small left pleural effusion   Management: S/p fluid bolus 2 L at Facility, patient awake alert well-oriented to time place and person at bedside Patient is currently full code, currently on high flow nasal cannula 8 L saturating more than 90% Positive for history of diarrhea and viral symptomatology before shortness of breath, For suspected CHF we will get NT proBNP and echocardiogram, patient awaiting speech evaluation to be initiated on diet For suspected aspiration pneumonia patient is already received Levaquin and Flagyl at Facility, will start moxifloxacin tomorrow in a.m. For suspected COPD exacerbation will get respiratory pathogen panel, urine Legionella and strep antigen, procalcitonin, CRP, ESR, We will also get a twelve-lead EKG to estimate the QTc interval, as needed bronchodilators started on prednisone oral for COPD exacerbation Treatment plan discussed with patient and her daughter at the bedside
