Clinical narrative: Patient is a 18 y.o. male patient with a past medical history significant for lupus  who presents with Pulmonary hemorrhage. About 2 days ago, pt developed fevers and worsening shortness of breath. T max 102 F at home. He did not note anything that relieved or exacerbated his difficulty breathing. He also reported fatigue, abdominal pain and several episodes of NBNB emesis the week prior to admission. No recently chest pain, diarrhea, hematuria, dysuria, headache or neck stiffness. Pt presented to ED yesterday and was treated with antibiotics and discharged, he came back today due to worsening shortness of breath. Of note, pt was had 2 hospital admissions in the last 2 months, most recently for febrile neutropenia. Completed 2 doses of COVID vaccine.      At ED, pt arrived with temp of 39.1, HR 143, RR 28, BP 117/67, SpO2 98% EKG with sinus tachycardia, no ST elevations/depressions or other acute ischemic changes. CXR revealed diffuse bilateral airspace opacities without pneumothorax. CBC 10.6>8.1/27.4<203, CMP 137/3.9/110/22/18/0.58<99, Ca 7, Alb 1.5, AST 15, ALT 86. UA negative for infection, no protein. CXR with progressive diffuse bilateral airspace opacity with air bronchograms, no pneumothorax. Cultures obtained. Pt was treated with vancomycin, cefepime and levofloxacin for sepsis and concern for pneumonia and given IV fluids per ED sepsis protocol. He was also given Solumedrol 1g. Less likely COVID given vaccination status and negative COVID swab. Due to worsening tachycardia and hypoxia on oxygen, pt was intubated and bleeding in airway was noted. Pt was admitted to the ICU, and pulm crit care performed a bronchoscopy that revealed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Repeat CXR in ICU revealed almost complete white out of both lungs. Pt was bagged for almost an hour due to persistent hypoxia. Pt was subsequently transferred to CW due to concern for requiring VV ECMO.    On arrival to CW CICU, pt satting low 70s, vent settings titrated and sats improved to 90s. He was continued on Epi, Norepi, Dexmed and Fentanyl.    Rheum history: Lupus diagnosed on renal biopsy 7/21/21, on bactrim prophylaxis recently, recent treatment with rituximab, on daily prednisone 30 mg BID    Parents spanish speaking.   Patient is a 18 y.o. male patient with a past medical history significant for lupus who presents with acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, septic shock and pulmonary hemorrhage. It is unclear at this time if his pulmonary hemorrhage is related to lupus vs idiopathic process. COVID negative and fully vaccinated, making COVID pneumonia less likely. He is maintaining his MAPs on epinephrine and arterial sats in the 90s on SIMV PC PS. He is candidate for VV ECMO but does not require it at this time due to decreasing vent settings. Rheumatology consulted and large lab workup is underway. Plan to continue broad spectrum antibiotics, close monitoring of hemodynamics and to continue to watch for signs of recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage. Pt requires CICU due to risk of acute cardiopulmonary decompensation.   Patient was an 18 yo man with Dx of lupus who presented to hospital (transferred from outside hospital) in respiratory failure due to pulmonary hemorrhage. Due to worsening hypoxemia in spite of mechanical ventilation he was started on VV ECMO. While on VV ECMO, he had a cardiac arrest due to right ventricular failure and was converted to VA ECMO. He also developed acute renal failure and was on CRRT. On 9/14, while on VA ECMO, he developed a massive MI due to occlusion of his LAD and circumflex coronaries. This heart injury was assessed as non recoverable and all further care was considered futile. After given time to the family to say their goodbyes, patient was removed from VA ECMO support and pronounced dead with his family at the bedside on 9/15/2021 at 7:30 am
