Consultations DO GENERAL SURGERY  DO  CARDIOLOGY  Hospital Course Patient is a 91-year-old female presents to the ED from home with a chief complaint of general weakness a 4 day worsening duration with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, endometrial cancer in remission currently receiving Q three-week chemotherapy who was admitted under the care of inpatient medicine for sepsis and acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID pneumonia with right lower lobe pneumonia. She required supplemental oxygen upon admission. Checks x-ray right perihilar air bronchogram likely right lower pneumonia. Patient was treated with remdesivir for 5 days and dexamethasone for her COVID-19 and azithromycin and 1 dose of ceftriaxone for possible bacterial pneumonia. Incentive spirometer and flutter valve were also utilized during her stay. On 3/27 and 3/28 patient's oxygen requirements went up to 5 L NC with going back to 3 L in daytime. On the evening of 3/29 patient was desaturating to low 80s even on 5 L NC, CXR was ordered which showed worsening pneumonia, patient placed on Zosyn on 3/30/23 and put up to nonrebreather mask, which she required the following night as well. On 3/31/2023 CTA of pulmonary artery was ordered and general surgery was consulted for possible bronchoscopy due to radiology report. Patient and family declined bronchoscopy. Lasix was given on 03/30 and 03/31. Patient/family refused the bronchoscopy. During her hospital stay, patient was bradycardic in the upper 40's. Dr. of cardiology was consulted who assessed the patient. Given she was asymptomatic, we decided to discharge patient on Holter monitor for 2 weeks to monitor her HR.  On the date of discharge, patient was able to maintain her oxygenation on room air both at rest and while working with PT. Simple pulmonary stress test was negative. Patient had bowel movement and eats what she can but doesn't like the food because it's always cold. She anticipates eating more once she gets home. She denies any shortness of breath or cardiac symptoms. She was deemed stable for discharge from surgical, cardiac and medical standpoint on oral antibiotics and steroid to complete COVID-19 treatment.

We will discharge the patient on their home medications as reconciled above. We will send the patient home with dexamethasone 6 mg q.d. for 3 days for treatment of COVID-19.  Patient was placed on azithromycin started 3/26/23 for the treatment of pneumonia as well as Zosyn 3.375 q.6 which was started on 3/30/23. We are discharging the patient on cefdinir 300 mg b.i.d. for 2 days to complete a total treatment course of 5 days for pneumonia. She was encouraged to use incentive spirometer. Advised if worsening condition, oxygen saturation < 92%, or unable to tolerate oral intake, to go to ED. Patient can use OTC Mucinex to help with cough and expectoration PRN. Advised against double dosing on Tylenol while taking Mucinex. Patient and family at bedside expressed understanding to this plan and agreed. We recommend the patient follow up with PCP within 1 week for hospital follow-up.  Patient should also follow up with Dr. within 2-4 weeks outpatient for her bradycardia. She will be discharged on a Holter monitor which will also need to be reviewed by Cardiology. We thank Dr. and his team for the assistance in caring for this patient.  The patient was evaluated by Dr. and the plan of care was discussed with this resident.
