Clinical narrative: Chief Complaint   worse hypoxia, COVID  History of Present Illness     41 y/o female presenting to MICU for worsening hypoxia diagnosed with COVID PNA. PMHx of obesity, OSA (noncompliant w/ cpap), FVL, prior DVT, salivary gland CA (s/p RUL lobectomy). patient complains of sob, onset approximately 1 week ago, initially mild, constant, progressively worsening. Worse with coughing and walking, better with her night time oxygen. Associated with this she endorses some sinus congestion, cough, and mild dizziness, denies fever, chest pain, abd pain, no n/v/d/c.     Initially presented to hospital on 10/12, on HFNC, rapidly worsened to requiring high levels of oxygen - 75 - 90%, and thus transferred to MICU for higher level of care. Reportedly had a CT PE Chest at outside hospital which was negative for PE. Negative trop and BNP, CT chest showed bilateral ground glass opacities.   reportedly her entire family has COVID currently (husband and 2 kids).

Patient seen and staffed with Dr..   Addendum by MD, on October 14, 2021 05:31:17 (Verified)    On the above mentioned date as mentioned in the document header, the patient was seen and examined at the bedside. The key/critical portions of the medicine service were independently performed by me and the management was discussed in detail with the author of this document. Total critical care time spent on patient care excluding procedure  but including clinical case history, laboratory findings, microbiology data, medications, essential ICU flow sheets,ventilator data and imaging studies was > 74 minutes. I agree with the above documented assessment and plan except as follows:  Diagnosis: Acute hypoxic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia s/p intubation 10/13/2021 Acute breakthrough COVID-19 pneumonia (moderna vaccination) Acute ARDS due to COVID-19 pneumonia  acute nonocclusive left popliteal vein deep vein thrombosis   PMH: Obesity, OSA noncompliant with CPAP, history of DVT in the past, salivary gland cancer status post right upper lobe lobectomy, baseline oxygen saturation between 85 to 90%   Labs: CBCD: WBC is 8.95, hemoglobin 13, hematocrit 40, platelet count 209 INR is 1 CMP: Sodium is 138, potassium is 4, chloride 101, bicarb 25, BUN is 12, creatinine 0.46, calcium is 8.9, magnesium is 1.8, albumin is 3.4, total protein 6.9, total bilirubin 0.34, alk phos 60, AST 57, ALT 69, Pro-Cal 0.09, ferritin is 196, CRP 16.21 UA negative for UTI ABG pH of 7.3, PCO2 48.8, PO2 of 76.4, bicarb 20.7, saturation 94.6, on 50% high flow nasal cannula Respiratory pathogen panel negative,    Imaging: CT chest PE negative, positive for COVID-19 pneumonia, bilateral upper extremity venous duplex negative for DVT Bilateral lower extremity venous duplex positive for acute nonocclusive left popliteal vein DVT   Management plan: COVID-19 pneumonia: Dexamethasone 10/12?10/21, remdesivir 10/12?10/17, Tocilizumab 10/13, ceftriaxone 10/13?10/17, azithromycin 10/13?10/15 Patient tachypneic on BiPAP 100% FiO2, patient intubated on 10/13/2021, placed on mechanical ventilator support on volume control ABG post intubation revealed PF ratio greater than 180, will hold off proning, s/p right IJ central line placement and right radial A-line placement Continue standard of care with steroids remdesivir Tocilizumab, will complete 5 days of ceftriaxone and 3 days of azithromycin, baricitinib stopped Continue bronchodilators on as needed basis, continue sedation with propofol analgesia with fentanyl Continue heparin drip for acute nonocclusive left popliteal vein DVT, continue GI prophylaxis Treatment plan discussed with patient prior to intubation, and with her husband Patient expressed her wish to be full code and wanted everything to be done to keep her alive
