He presented to the emergency department on 06/13/2022 in respiratory distress. He was subsequently found to be COVID positive and admitted under the Internal Medicine service with a diagnosis of acute on chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to COVID 19 pneumonia. Total hospitalization was 8 days.  During the course of his hospitalization patient was successfully titrated from 15 L high-flow BiPAP back to baseline oxygen requirements and on day of discharge is wearing his home nasal Trilogy mask set at 30% FiO2 noted to be 100%. Hospitalization was also complicated by acute renal insufficiency with creatinine of 2.8 on admission and subsequently improved down to 2.3 on day of discharge with 2.3 L of urine output in the 24 hours prior to discharge. Suspect chronic kidney disease, although baseline creatinine is unknown.  Patient also noted to be positive 2/2 bottles on his blood culture from admission with staphylococcal hominis. Patient received 5 days of vancomycin and will be discharged home with additional 5 days of doxycycline bid.

Acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure: Secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia, Resolved Patient back on baseline O2 requirements and maintaining appropriate SpO2.  2. COVID-19 pneumonia: Patient completed 5 days of remdesivir and it has been discontinued.  Today is day 8 of 10 Dexamethasone. Will be discharged home with an additional 2 days of Dexamethasone.   3. Bacteremia with Staph hominis 2 of 2 bottles Today is day 5  of Vancomycin. Repeat blood cultures have not shown any growth over 48 hours.  Will discharge him home on doxycycline 100 mg bid for 5 more days.  Transesophageal echocardiogram performed and did not show signs of cardiac vegetation. Repeat blood cultures negative and patient has remained afebrile. Clinically does not appear to have active bacteremia. For these reasons I have low clinical suspicion of endocarditis.   4. Diabetes:  Will continue home diabetes regimen.   5. Hypertension: Continue home meds  6. Acute renal insufficiency, unknown baseline, improving: Cr 2.3 on morning labs; GFR 28. Plan to remove foley catheter prior to discharge. Repeat BMP ordered for 07/25/2022 to follow renal function. We may be near his baseline renal function. Urine output has improved significantly since admission. Had 2.3 L of urine output yesterday.    7. Dependent edema. Improved.  Chronic comorbidities: -Hypothyroidism -Hypertension -DMII -CAD -Peripheral neuropathy   DO, PGY-3  Discharge Instructions Diet Cardiac/Diabetic  Activity As tolerated. PT/OT Home health ordered  Follow up Appointments Schedule follow-up with outpatient PCP within one week of discharge with repeat CMP prior to evaluate renal status.  Primary Care Provider DO  Electronically signed by RESIDENT on Jul-20-2022 1357 I have seen and physically examined the patient on 7/20/22 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.  Face to face evaluation performed on day of discharge. Repeat cultures negative, afebrile, no obvious valve vegetations on TTE. Suspect staph bacteremia was skin contaminant but will treat out remainder of course with PO doxycycline. Recommended SNF placement for continued rehabilitation though patient and family opted to DC home with HH despite being unable to receive the DME they requested to help care for him.
