EMS was called to patient's house due to report of respiratory distress. Upon arrival the patient was tripoding and struggling to breathe. She then became unresponsive and turned blue. HR dropped to the 30s. She was quickly intubated in the field and her color improved and her sats were in the 90s. She was brought to the ER for further evaluation. She was briefly paced in the field as well but has since had a normal HR w/out any pacer needs. Temp was low at 35.6. BP was normal. Labs were notable for a WBC count of 12K. Lactate was 4.4 and repeat was 2.5. Trop was 18 and went up to 300. EKG showed no acute ST changes. CTA was negative for PE but did show c/f bronchitis and possible RUL infiltrate. ABG showed a PCO2 of 71 and repeat was 63 after adjustment of the vent settings. She was sedated w/ propofol as she was biting the ET tube in the ER. She was given steroids and breathing treatments and admitted to the medicine service for further management.  Review of Systems     With the exception of that noted in the HPI all systems were reviewed and were negative.     Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours  T: 35.6 °C (Rectal)  BP: 123/75  HR: 94 (Monitored)  RR: 12  SpO2: 90%  Oxygen Therapy: Ventilator  FiO2: 0.30   Neurologic  Glasgow Coma Score: 7     Constitutional:  No acute distress,  well-nourished Eyes:  no scleral icterus ENMT:  Moist oral mucosa, ETT in place Respiratory:  coarse mechanical breath sounds bilaterally Cardiovascular:  Regular rate and rhythm Gastrointestinal:  non-distended Musculoskeletal:  intact ROM Integumentary:  no rashes Neurologic: sedated     Assessment/Plan     Patient is a 67 year old woman admitted w/ acute on chronic hypoxic and hypercarbic respiratory failure.      1. Acute on chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and hypercapnia   J96.21  -Intubated now  -Repeat VBG now  -See problem #3      2. Elevated troponin   R77.8  -Likely demand ischemia  -Serial troponin until downtrending  -TTE to assess for new wall motion abnormalities  -Telemetry      3. COPD exacerbation   J44.1  -Solumedrol   -Duonebs  -Procal  -Will treat w/ CTX and doxycycline for now given possible R sided infiltrate  -Urine legionella and strep Ag      4. Coronary artery disease   I25.10  -Continue statin and ASA      5. Diet-controlled diabetes mellitus   E11.9  -CDA power plan in place  -Carb controlled diet  -Hypoglycemia protocol  -Hold oral DM meds      6. Hyperlipidemia   E78.2  -Continue statin       7. Hypertension   I10  -Continue home antihypertensive regimen      8. Tobacco use   Z72.0  -Encourage cessation  -Nicotine patch PRN      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.
