Pneumonia due to COVID-19 virus   U07.1  30-year-old man, history of cerebral palsy, bedbound, G-tube PEG tube present, nonverbal status presenting with respiratory distress and fever now known to be from COVID pneumonia  Patient appears lethargic on exam, is nonverbal and so no history was obtained however mother was by the bedside and provided history  Respiratory therapist was met by the bedside, patient is currently on 35% FiO2 of oxygen through a trach collar.  At baseline patient is on 3 and half liters of oxygen which is equivalent to current oxygen requirement.   -Will admit to ICU for close monitoring and begin COVID-specific treatments such as remdesivir and dexamethasone  -antibiotics???????  -RT to continue to follow  IV fluid hydration-   2.

Cerebral palsy, quadriplegic   G80.8  history of cerebral palsy, bedbound, G-tube PEG tube present, nonverbal status    6. Chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia   J96.11  Noted.    Currently at baseline oxygen requirements   7. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)   K21.9  PPI   8. Tracheostomy status   Z93.0  Noted.    Respiratory following.   Hypoxemia   R09.02    Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent 40 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient?s response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time.
