Acute Hypoxic Respiratory failure COVID-19 pneumonia COPD not previously on O2  -Cont decadron -Wean oxygen as tolerated -OT/PT, CM -Given unclear symptom onset and confusion will hold  on remdesivir -severe respiratory precautions -x-ray imaging as noted with worsening airspace opacity   AKI  -baseline creat 1.0 -monitor off off diuretics, hold aditional IVF -Trend BMP following initial fluid resuscitation   Chest pain, likely demand ischemia from hypotension on admission Chronic compensated systolic heart failure CAD s/p CABG Paroxysmal Afib -cont eliquis -Consult cardio, appreciate reccs -trops as noted, CP resolved in ED w/ BP improvement -Check Echo -continue metoprolol at lower dose, increased dosing as tolerated given hypotension on admission -hold lisinopril   Acute on chronic Toxic Metabolic Encephalopathy Alcohol use disorder Vascular dementia (aaox1-2 at baseline)  -CT head on admission negative for acute change -significant other reports he has a normally alert oriented times 1-2 but has been less responsive over the past few days but appears back to baseline in emergency department on my evaluation -continue monitor mentation however likely related to above   Generalized weakness  Bilateral lower extremity contractures Gait anormalities Lumbar stenosis Peripheral neuropathy Diabetic + likely ETOH   PT OT, Care Management    PVD Continue home medications   HTN Hold home lisinopril, continue metoprolol XL a decreased dosing.    Type 2 Diabetes On Basal bolus insulin.Cont lantus 20U, recently DC'd on 30U and ISS Titrate as needed.   Diabetic diet.    Possible urothelial neoplasm seen on CT Urinary tension -urology as an outpatient -continue 2 times a day straight catheterization with coude   Inguinal hernia containing appendix -consult gen surgery-no need for surgery at this time.
