Setting Medical ICU (MICU)
Scenario Culture results and sensitivities finalize, SR’s septic shock has resolved, and she is extubated on day 4 of admission. She remains a little drowsy, but passed a swallow evaluation and is tolerating a renal restricted diet well. On day 5 of admission, her AKI is resolving. The medical team recognizes a developing thrombocytopenia and is concerned for possible heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). The medical team calculates a 4Ts score of 5 and orders both the HIT PF4 antibody test and serotonin release assay, which both later come back positive.

The medical team then asks you, as the MICU clinical pharmacist, for further management recommendations and any additional recommendations you have for this patient’s care.

CC Confusion, chills, lower back pain, and unable to get out of bed for two days
HPI SR presents to the emergency department with her husband on 8/4/2017. Her husband states that she is confused and hasn’t been able to get out of bed for two days. He states SR reported chills and lower back pain earlier in the week, but that she has a history of chronic low back pain from a work-related injury. He is unsure if she checked her temperature at home. The physician is concerned for sepsis and that SR is unable to adequately protect her airway. He orders a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), urinalysis, urine culture, blood cultures, intravenous (IV) fluids, and empiric antibiotics. Her mental status continues to be poor with limited response to the medical team. The decision is made to perform rapid sequence intubation. Her blood pressure has improved, but still remains low after adequate fluid resuscitation so a norepinephrine infusion is initiated. SR is transferred to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) once stabilized in the emergency department. She is diagnosed with septic shock secondary to pyelonephritis and acute kidney injury (AKI).
