Clinical narrative: Patient is a 71 y.o. male patient of CNP with history of HFpEF, COPD, CAD, atrial fibrillation on Xarelto presented on 8/20/2023 with hypotension, dyspnea, and generalized weakness. Consulted by MD for ICU transfer of care.    Dyspnea COVID infection Initially requiring 2LNC- back onto RA  Hx of HFpEF, COPD Unclear etiology. Possibly due to hypotension combined with deconditioning.  Minimal symptoms; mostly upper respiratory; denied productive cough CXR negative for acute airspace disease VBG on admission: pH 7.42, CO2 51.4, bicarb 32.9 BNP 3084, approximately baseline  Did not appear to have evidence of AECOPD or HF exacerbation; chronic AC PE less likely Curr   Currently on room air Not candidate from Paxlovid given serious interaction with Xarelto Supportive care only Continue home inhalers  Maintain special isolation ID consulted; remdesivir therapy started -- end date 8/25/23 at night   Hypotension/undifferentiated shock (POA, resolved) Hypotension with BP 70-80/50-60  Per notes from 8/19/2023 he was to start on 8/20 Bumex 4 mg in the morning 2 mg in the afternoon with potassium 60 mill equivalents twice a day, Farxiga 10 mg daily and spironolactone 50 mg daily. Afebrile, no leukocytosis, normal lactate ECG Afib, PVCs; no acute ST-T wave abnormalities Troponin 36, 29 (flat trend) CXR nonacute UA bland Blood cx negative at 48 hrs (8/20)  Likely secondary to hypovolemia due to over diuresis; less likely cardio, septic shock No response IVF bolus in ED; Levophed initiated Admitted to ICU on 8/20; Levophed weaned off 8 pm same day Small alloquats of saline PRN,slow uptitration of diuretics on discharge    Generalized weakness Likely multifactorial, in the setting of over diuresis and hypotension, also component of chronic physical deconditioning; multiple recent hospitalizations  Hypotension resolved PT/OT consulted- PT rec 2-3 days CM for discharge planning-agreeable to outpatient PT/OT so ambulatory referral placed for rehab.
