Hospital Course Patient is a 68 year old male with multiple comorbidities that was admitted for treatment of acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19.  He has improved since admission and is now at his home oxygen requirements of 4-5L continuous. Today is also day #5 of dexamethasone. He is vaccinated and appears to be convalescing well. We will discharge to home today and return to his baseline home oxygen. His admission was complicated by chronic hyponatremia that did respond well to fluid restriction which will need to be continued and recommend follow up with PCP for medications changes if needed.

Electronically signed by DO RESIDENT on Dec-07-2021 1229 I have seen and physically examined the patient on 12/7/2021 and agree with the documentation of Dr. I have also discussed my findings and plan of care with Dr. Any changes and additional information are listed below.  Patient requests discharge today. As noted by the resident O2 requirements have improved consistently over the past 48 hours and he is requiring 5L at most on exertion, less at rest. Discussed fluid restriction with him to maintain his sodium level in the high 120s, low 130s which is his chronic apparent baseline. Patient has a pulse oximeter at home, discussed spot checking and checking when feeling short of breath and seeking care if sustaining below 88%. Patient voiced understanding of discharge plan and follow up.   32 minutes spent coordinating discharge. Electronically signed by DO on Dec-07-2021 1458
