RASS of 0.  Consultations None  Hospital Course Patient is a 68-year old female who presented to the ER by personal vehicle with 1 day history of vomiting. The following history was obtained from her sister who is present in the room and her DPOA. The patient is considered a poor historian based on history of subdural hematoma.  Her baseline now is AO x2 and requires assistance with her ADLs.  The symptoms began approximately 0230 7/12/22.  The patient called her sister at around 0600 and stated that she did not feel good and asked her sister to bring her some sprite.   Her sister received another call from patient's caregiver at 1230 that patient was not responding to her knocking on the door.  Patient's sister went over to the house and unlocked the door.  Based on continuous vomiting since morning patient's sister made decision to bring patient into the ER.    Patient received fluid resuscitation in the ED with 3L NS.  She was then started on maintenance fluids at 75cc/hr for the duration of her stay.  UA returned positive the night of her admission and she was started on ceftriaxone at that time.  Her second day of admission her procalcitonin spiked and there was concern for aspiration pneumonia based on history, labwork, and imaging.  At that time metronidazole was added to her ceftriaxone therapy for coverage of UTI and possible pneumonia.  Patient's oxygen requirements continued to be titrated down during her stay with her being back on room air by morning of 7/15/22.  Patient was found to be COVID positive upon admission and based on increased oxygen demand Remdesivir and dexamethasone treatments were started the night she was admitted.  She received daily dosing and tolerated these treatments well.   Patient was in SVT upon admission and was started on a diltiazem drip in the ED.  Diltiazem was effective in controlling her heart rate and she was titrated down through her first night of admission.  By noon the afternoon of 7/13/22 she had been titrated off of the drip and her heartrate has remained sinus in the low 80s.  Based on initial presentation patient met SIRS criteria in ED.  With source of infection patient was deemed to be in severe sepsis with a lactate of 6.8.  Sepsis protocol was initiated.  Patient received adequate hydration and blood cultures returned negative during her stay.  Patient's vitals were stable from 7/13/22 on.
