Current Issue Patient 1's recovery was going very well, however, the last 2 days he has had significant trouble breathing and has developed severe chest congestion with a cough. It is suspected that this is a nosocomial infection, since he has been in the hospital for 7 days and is only now showing signs of an infection. If left untreated, the patient could develop pneumonia.
History Patient 1 is a 43 year old male who came to the ER with severe chest pains radiating through his back and left arm, nausea, difficulty breathing, and headache. These symptoms had persisted for 2 days. He was tachycardia and his EKG showed abnormal electrical conductivity. The patient was administered oral nitroglycerine and put on a saline IV while a cardiologist was called. The cardiologist had the patient prepped for an OR and performed an Echocardiogram stress test, which showed a 90% blockage of one of the coronary arteries. An angioplasty was performed at the time of the test and a stent was successfully placed in the artery. The patient was sent directly to the ICU since only local anesthesia was used and the patient was never unconscious. The patient is currently in the Step-Down Unit. Blood tests indicate that his cholesterol is high and the cardiologist prescribed both an 80 mg children's aspirin and 60 mg of lovastatin daily.
