Hospital Course Patient is a 73-year-old female with a history of traumatic brain injury who presented to the emergency department with general weakness on 7/28/22. She had a positive COVID antigen test. Nursing Home on 7/15/22. She had been having a persistent cough and recently had become disoriented. She required 2L NC (baseline room air) and was tachypneic and tachycardic in the ED. Cefepime and NS 1L bolus were given. The patient was admitted for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and sepsis secondary to suspected aspiration pneumonia and/or CAUTI. Antibiotics were changed to Zosyn in order to cover aspiration pneumonia and organisms found on cultures from previous UTIs. NS was continued at 30mL/hr. Dulera, Spiriva and albuterol inhalers were started in place of the patient's home breathing treatments. Tessalon perles were added for cough. COVID test and antigen were positive on admission so she remained in COVID precautions. Blood cultures were negative. Sputum culture grew a moderate amount of MRSA, sensitive to clindamycin, Bactrim and Levaquin. Urine culture showed 30,000 cfu multiple contaminant flora. Antibiotics were changed to clindamycin on 8/1/22. At the time of discharge she was no longer requiring 2L NC continuously and was saturating mid-high 90s on 2L while sleeping. Procalcitonin remained below 0.5 and CRP declined throughout her stay.
