He does daily breathing treatments 4 times a day at baseline.  He does wear 3 L of nasal cannula at baseline as well.  He has a new cough.  He is felt hot.  He has had nausea vomiting diarrhea.  He notes diffuse body aches.  Denies any focal pain.  Denies any specific chest or abdominal pain. Denies any fever.  He has been taking Tylenol and took a dose prior to arrival.  Denies any change in urination.   In the ED he was noted to have increased work of breathing and was placed on BiPAP.  He had an AKI.  His chest x-ray noted possible pneumonia versus pulmonary edema, but given that patient had elicited fevers at home and there is no lower extremity edema or significant crackles in the bases He was given 2 L of fluid.    When patient arrived he stated that he was feeling better though he remains on BiPAP and appeared to have significant respiratory distress patient confirmed his CODE STATUS is DNR/DNI comprehensive care.  This patient is critically ill due to metabolic, hemodynamic and/or respiratory instability. They require high complexity evaluation, decision making, and care. They require ICU level of care and monitoring due to high risk of clinical decompensation with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Critical care time includes, but is not limited to, bedside assessment, review of medical record, radiographic and laboratory results, ventilator and/or respiratory management, review of ekg and/or cardiac monitoring, critical decision making, coordination of care with consultants and/or care team, and documentation of critical intervention/plans, and consultation with patient and/or family. Time excludes any procedural time.  I spent greater than 65 minutes in the evaluation and management of this patient with more than 50% of the time spent counseling and/or coordinating care.  I counseled the patient and/or family about the findings, differential diagnoses, my assessment, recommendations, and plan.  I coordinated care with the multidisciplinary healthcare team.  Review of Systems     A complete, 13-system review was performed and was negative except for as noted in the HPI.

Acute on chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and hypercapnia   J96.21  Continue BiPAP, serial ABGs, patient is DNR/DNI, while patient is on BiPAP we will make him n.p.o. except meds   2. Pneumonia   J18.9  No white count but given that patient complained of fevers is experiencing diaphoresis here will cover for CAP with Rocephin and Doxy  Repeat chest x-ray   3. COPD with exacerbation   J44.1  Every 2 hours DuoNebs as needed  Was given 125mg soluMedrol IV in ED will give an additional 40 now and continue 40 twice daily to titrate as needed   4. Chronic CHF   I50.9  Possibility of acute CHF exists however on my exam patient does not have wet sounding lungs and said I hear significant inspiratory wheeze which makes me suspect the pathology of his illness lies more within the airways   Upon arrival to ICU patient was given one-time dose of 40 mg Lasix however almost no urine output was produced subsequently confirming my original suspicion that patient acute kidney injury was driven by dehydration and therefore pulmonary edema is much less likely an infectious and inflammatory source of COPD exacerbation  Continue home meds as able to  Obtain stat echo   5. Hyponatremia   E87.1  Resolved with IV fluid administration    6. Acute kidney injury   N17.9  Improved with fluid administration after dose of Lasix can expect a mild bump in renal function will give IV fluids and continue to monitor   7. Thrombocytopenia   D69.6  If platelets drop less than 100,000 we will stop chemical DVT prophylaxis and use mechanical only continue to monitor platelet count unclear etiology possibly reactive   8. Elevated troponin   R77.8  Continue to monitor possibly secondary to AKI versus demand ischemia, patient denies any chest pain at this less likely  Maintain telemetry   9. Elevated lactic acid level   R79.89  Improving after IV fluid administration we will continue to trend until normalized   10. Coronary artery disease   I25.10  Noted.  Continue statin, medications as to   11. History of DVT in adulthood   Z86.718  No evidence of acute DVT currently, patient is not on any anticoagulation at home   12.
