Date of Admission  01/04/2022   Date of Discharge  01/15/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   pt husband "reports my wife had low oxygen saturation at urgent care today. my wife has also had increased weakness, shortness of breath and fatigue.  Hospital Course   Patient is a 77 year old female with past medical history significant for Alzheimer's dementia (A&Ox1-2, but able to perform ADLs), MV repair (3/2021), and chronic UI and UTIs (bladder stimulator, on TMP chronically) who presented to ED on 1/4 for hypoxia. She was positive for COVID in the ED, initially requiring 7L but quickly escalated to HHFNC and NIPPV. Acute hypoxic respiratory failure may be due to COVID, but given the fact that she is vaccinated and her quick escalation of oxygen needs in the setting of encephalopathy there was concern for aspiration pneumonia. She was started on ertapenem. She also had a positive MRSA nasal swab and was started on vancomycin. She reported diarrhea starting a few days prior to presentation and was incontinent, C dif and GI PCR grossly negative. She was in the ICU from 1/5-1/7 and then transferred to floor after transitioning to NC and at discharge patient was on RA and home oxygen evaluation was unremarkable for hypoxia with ambulation.
