| CC | mental status changes afer seizure | ||
| HPI | BR presented to the ED 7 days ago with mental status changes after a fall. EEG showed that he had a grand mal seizure. He was emergently intubated for airway protection and placed on a ventilator. A chest X-ray was performed to confirm endotracheal tube placement and did not have signs of pneumonia. He was transferred to the Neurology ICU and diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Yesterday (hospital day #6) BRās nurse noted that he had thick, copious secretions. Today (hospital day #7) BR spiked a fever to 39°C and has new leukocytosis. A chest X-ray reveals an infiltrate in the left lower lobe, and the team diagnoses him with pneumonia. His blood pressure drops precipitously and does not respond to fluid resuscitation with 4 L of normal saline and he was started on norepinephrine at 4 mcg/min. |
