COPD (CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE)       7/20/2023  Requesting to change to Vacaville location (since she moved to this area).  Currently being treated for aspergillosis and does not feel that symptoms are improving.  Would like second opinion.  Referred to COPD care management team as well to review her medications.     4/12/2023 DOV Recent upper respiratory infection / COPD exacerbation. Given antibiotic about 3 weeks ago. Symptoms overall improved but still having some shortness of breath. Has 3 boxes of combivent and wants to use those before restarting spiriva.  Not taking Spiriva.    O: gen - alert, no acute distress.  Good air movement, no wheezes or rhonchi.    A/P: continue Wixela. Complete combivent prescription then change back to Spiriva (+ albuterol as needed).  Follow up if shortness of breath does not continue to improve after recent upper respiratory infection.    9/15/2022 DOV Taking comibent 3-4 times per day. Sometime has to take a deep breath after doing activities. Can walk 1.5 mile and feels better when she does that. Not taking Wixela because does not notice any immediately benefits when she takes it. Former smoker (30+ pack years, quit in 2011)   O: calm, alert, no acute distress.    A/P: lengthy discussion today about prevention medications.  Will change as follows: restart Wixela and add Spiriva (had some constipation with it 10 years ago but willing to retry).  Albuterol only as needed.  Update on symptoms in 1 month.    pft 4/9/12 Dr. Spirometry: Severe Obstruction  Lung volumes: Normal lung volumes Bronchodilator response: No change post bronchodilator.  The lack of a bronchodilator response in the laboratory does not preclude a clinical response to bronchodilator therapy.  Diffusion: Moderate decrease in DLCO which does not correct       Resolved Hospital Problems No resolved problems to display.     Discharge Disposition:  Home   Medications, instructions, follow up information: See patient Discharge Instructions/AVS.   Hospital Course and Significant Findings: 77-year-old woman history of multiple medical problems, patient recently hospitalized from 9/22 through 9/30 for pneumonia, patient has history of COPD, CAD, hypertension, invasive aspergillus pulmonary infection, during her last hospitalization patient was seen by infectious disease and was discharged on antifungal and abx therapy which she has completed.  She presents with mild shortness of breath for the past 2 days requiring oxygen, dry cough, no fevers.  Patient is found to be COVID-19 positive, symptoms are overall mild, denies myalgias, patient reports that she is feeling better.  Patient reports her symptoms are not consistent with how she felt when she had pneumonia.  Patient reports mild fatigue.   Patient admitted for observation, was treated with remdesivir and steroids, patient feels better and wants to go home. Patient is no longer requiring O2 and is stable for d/c home today, do not think patient requires discharge on oral decadron for covid as she is no longer requiring O2 and does not appear to have acute respiratory failure, given history of recurrent pulmonary infections, risk/benefits likely favor no further steroids.
