Hospital Course Patient is a 76-year-old female patient of Dr. who was admitted on 2/25/22 for multifocal pneumonia, persistent COVID-19 infection, and possible heart failure exacerbation. She has a past medical history significant for mantle cell lymphoma, atrial fibrillation on Xarelto, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes on metformin, hypothyroidism, depression, hyperlipidemia, grade 3 diastolic heart failure, and carotid artery stenosis.   Throughout her hospital course the patient continued to worsen clinically and was diagnosed with ARDS on 02/20/2022 after acutely worsening the night before.  The patient's oxygen requirements continued to increase despite attempts to diurese as well as attempts to treat secondary bacterial infections.  Supplementation was started via TPN attempt to help improve the patient's weakness but did not have any noticeable benefit clinically.  On the night of 03/01/2022, the patient experienced significant oxygen desaturations into the 70s and 80s despite being on maximum CPAP  Settings.  And earlier trial at a on BiPAP to see if the patient might have an easier time breathing failed.  Despite having the patient tolerated the BiPAP, she experience worsening hypoxia BiPAP settings.  On the morning of 03/02/2022, the patient had  recovered somewhat and maintain  oxygen saturations above 80% however she  was becoming increasingly tachypneic and fatigued.  She stated to me during my examination with her as she "feels was ready to give up and was tired of fighting this".  She repeated a similar statement to the nursing team as well as to Dr. and myself. off of a later point in the morning while rounding. I met with the patient's family to update them on her condition at which point I went to the room with the family to visit the patient again expressed that she was tired of fighting and was okay with comfort measures.  I assess that she was alert and oriented x4 and was able to make her own medical decisions.  She voiced understanding that transitioning to comfort care would mean that she would likely die soon and that we would focus our efforts are making her comfortable on her final moments.  Patient was placed on standard comfort care measures including morphine for pain her hunger, Ativan for anxiety agitation, and chronic apparently for secretions.  Her morphine dose had to be increased both in frequency and and concentration several times to meet demands for her air hunger after CPAP was removed.  At 12:36 p.m. telemetry noted that she had entered asystole after which Dr myself performed on examination a pronounced her deceased.  Please see death note.
