Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on November 18, 2023 15:00  Verified By:  MD on November 18, 2023 17:58   Encounter Info: Hospital, Inpatient, 11/18/23 -     * Final Report *          History of Present Illness/Subjective     Chief complaint low oxygen  HPI: Patient is a 68-year-old female patient well-known to me from my clinic history of severe COPD dependent on oxygen, anxiety, hypothyroidism, depression, hypertension, hyperlipidemia presented to emergency department via private vehicle complaining of shortness of breath that started about 2 weeks ago and progressively got worse.  She states that she has sore throat cough and weakness.  She states that her shortness of breath worsened significantly yesterday that prompted her to come to the emergency room today because he was getting even more worse.  She is taking 1 and half liter of oxygen at home denies history of congestive heart failure.  She is currently not taking any steroids.  Upon presentation to the emergency room patient presented with a blood pressure of 204/111 oxygen saturation 88% temperature 36.3 BP remained elevated throughout the course of ER visit patient was initially given clonidine which was not effective and started on Cardene drip.  Other laboratory data that was pertinent showed no white count normal kidney function normal liver enzymes BNP elevated 282 she does not have history of congestive heart failure recent echo few months ago showed normal EF.  X-ray of the chest revealed pulmonary edema.  Review of Systems     All 13 point review of systems were reviewed with the patient and are negative except as specified in the HPI  Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours    Hemodynamics   Neurologic   Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported      General: Alert and oriented Eye: Pupils are equal, round and reactive to light HEENT: Normocephalic Neck: Supple, normal range of motion Oropharynx: mild oropharynx erythema, post nasal drip Respiratory: Lungs are clear to auscultation. decreased air entry bilaterally Cardiovascular: Normal rate, Regular rhythm. Gastrointestinal: Soft, Non-tender. Musculoskeletal: Normal range of motion, No focal tenderness Integumentary: Warm, Dry, No rash Neurologic: No focal weakness. Sensation intact. Normal mood and affect    Assessment/Plan       1. COPD exacerbation   J44.1  Patient is having COPD exacerbation.  -Start COPD power plan.  -Admit to ICU for close care.  Patient is high risk for intubation.  BIPAP as needed.   2. Hypertensive emergency   I16.1   Evident from presenting blood pressure systolic blood pressure of 204.  -Endorgan damage causing pulmonary edema due to congestive heart failure secondary to hypertensive emergency.  -Start patient on Cardene drip with a goal of SBP 160 for next 24 hours.  -Monitor in ICU setting check cardiac enzymes.  -No need for echo since it was done just a few months ago.   3. Acute congestive heart failure   I50.9   See problem #2   4. Pulmonary edema   J81.1   Patient will be given Lasix 40 mg IV twice daily until resolution of pulmonary edema.   5. Acute on chronic respiratory failure   J96.20   Noted.  Continue with supplemental oxygen with oxygen saturation goal of 90 to 92%.   6. Hyperlipidemia   E78.5   Resume home medications   7. Myalgia & Myositis   M79.10   Resume home meds   8. Hypothyroidism   E03.9   Noted.  Latest TSH July of this year was normal.  -Continue with home medications.   9. Depression   F32.9   Continue with home meds.   Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent 40 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient?s response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time. Please see the MDM section and the rest of this note for further information on patient assessment and treatment.
