On presentation to the ED pt was hypoxic to 83-86% on room air and was placed on 4L O2 improving to mid 90s. COVID PCR positive. Labs notable for pancytopenia, elevated BNP. EKG with sinus bradycardia with heart rate 58, first-degree AV block. T-wave inversions in V1 through V5, inversions in V3 to V5 were present on prior EKG from October, but the 1 in V2 is new. Worsening ST depression in the lateral leads. Troponin x 2 flat 27 -- > 25. Patient was given 1L IVF, albuterol and decadron. Patient is being admitted for further treatment.    Patient seen in the ED, she reports onset of symptoms ~ 1 week ago, had a positive at home COVID test ~ 5 days ago. She has been experiencing worsening shortness of breath, chest tightness and increased oxygen needs. She wears 2.5L oxygen at night at baseline due to OSA (does not wear CPAP), over the last several days she has been needing to use her oxygen during the day. Reports O2 levels dropping to 70-80s on room air. Reports productive cough of yellow/gray phlegm. She was evaluated in the ED on Sunday, she received monoclonal antibodies and was instructed to increase O2 to 3L during the day/night. She was doing ok with that but needed to increase O2 more today due to low O2 sats. She feels that her breathing and chest tightness have improved after albuterol.
