Patient was recently discharged on January 28th after being admitted to the MICU for hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COPD exacerbation from COVID pneumonia. His hospital course was complicated by intubation 1/21-1/24 as well as new onset atrial fibrillation with RVR. The atrial fibrillation resolved with amiodarone. The plan was for the patient to get an event monitor for new Afib and f/u with cardiology within a month. No anticoagulation due to CHADs-VASc being 0.    Patient was admitted 01/30 for persistent hypoxia and altered mentation. Patient found to have new LLL opacity with Pseudomonas bacteremia (pan sensitive).
