Clinical narrative: Date of Admission  12/25/2021   Date of Discharge  01/08/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   Covid positive 12/19. Increased SOA and fatigue.  Hospital Course       Patient is a 55-year-old female transferred to facility for worsening acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to Covid pneumonia.  She has PMH of bipolar disorder and prior tobacco use disorder. Her FiO2 requirements kept increasing on HFNC, she was evaluated and transferred to ICU for further management, intubated 12/31 for respiratory fatigue despite NIV. She has had treatment including dexamethasone, remdesivir, tocilizumab. Abx empiric levofloxacin (12/26-1/4). PF ratio improving with treatment, proning no longer indicated. NG tube placement complicated by Hx of Roux-en-Y; required fluoroscopic placement of NGT. 1/6 overnight patient noted to have significant left sided weakness, CT head showed right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage - stroke and neurosurgery teams consulted. Also found to have bilateral PEs on neck CTA. Brain MRI 1/7 AM showed primary intracerebral hemorrhage of right frontotemporal region.   On 1/8 AM, patient was having increased FiO2 requirement, hypotension. Echo bedside showed significant RV dilation consistent with right heart strain presumably from large b/l pulmonary emboli. Patient's family was called in to see patient given worsening clinical condition, and with knowledge that patient would not want trach (the next step in medical management assuming survival of current medical comorbidities), the patient's family (husband and daughter) decided to allow the patient to be made comfortable. Comfort care measures were implemented shortly afterwards with family at bedside. Patient declared deceased at 12:32 PM on 01/08/2022.
