[31/08/23, 3:52:38 PM] Prof: Did he have any recent trauma @inter2 ?
That's not clear! In the description it's mentioned years and here it's mentioned weeks. Please clarify
[31/08/23, 6:04:12 PM] intern1: Yes Sir H/0 trauma (slip and fall from steps) 3 weeks back and also

[31/08/23, 6:28:04 PM] intern1: Sir the Patient t was shifted from Ortho ward at around 11:30 am in an altered state but the patient was responding when called by his name and obeying commands. At that time the Vitals were
PR-134bpm
BP-60/40mmhg
RR-10cpm
Then Patient was shifted to ICU immediately and ABG and S.Electrolytes were sent.Ionotropic support was started with INJ. DOBUTAMINE and INJ. NORAD. On reporting Sod was found to be 122mEq/L and diagnosis was Altered Sensorium secondary to hyponatraemia. Further Sodium correction was given. After giving correction of 3%Nacl, Sodium was found to be 124mEq/L and patient’s condition didn’t improve. Again Sodium Correction was kept with 3%Nacl @ 30ml/hr. On auscultation grunting was observed and saturations decreased to below 90% with O2 support and also Neb with Budecort and Ipravent was done. Inspite of all these efforts patient’s saturations didn’t improve and continuously decreased to around 78% to 80% and decision to intubate was taken. During intubation Patient went to cardiac arrest and 3 cycles of CPR was done, ROSC was achieved and patient was kept on ventilator ACMV VC mode with FiO2 100%.

[01/09/23, 9:45:27 AM] Prof: 👆The EF is much more than 44% in this video taken yesterday @919676979003 where it appears to be 60% and the only other prominent finding is the LVH that appears absent in his Ecg (but that just reflects the 30% sensitivity of Ecg to pick up LVH)
Possible that he may have developed cardiogenic shock pre arrest which is when the 44% Echo was done? Can you share that video if possible?
[01/09/23, 9:46:13 AM] intern1: Yes sir
[01/09/23, 10:06:09 AM] intern1: Sir the video wasn’t taken sir I’ll try to find the report

[03/09/23, 10:04:28 AM] intern1: Sir the patient fell from staircase 1 month back. Then he had severe pain of lower back radiating to his lower limbs. So he was taken to a nearby hospital in Nalgonda where X-rays and they were told that no fracture was found, he was also taken to another hospital and the same happened again. Then CT scan was done wherein they found the L5 unstable burst fracture with PLC injury and a belt was given to contain the fracture along with some analgesics for the pain. As the patient wasn’t compliant to the treatment given and the pain was severe he was brought to our hospital and he was advised L4 L5 S1 posterior stabilisation.
[03/09/23, 10:16:36 AM] intern1: Sir the whole 3 weeks span of him coming to our hospital he was having good appetite, he was compliant with his OHAs, he had no other complaints except for his pain
[03/09/23, 10:17:02 AM] intern1: Should I ask the attenders anything in particular sir?
[03/09/23, 10:21:40 AM] Prof: Ask them what was he doing hourly in the past three weeks and was it any different from before he fell down
[03/09/23, 10:22:25 AM] intern1: After coming to our hospital he had three episodes of vomiting, non bilious, non foul smelling ,food particles as content. The morning before he was shifted to ICU

[03/09/23, 11:20:49 AM] Prof: Was he bedridden before the fall three weeks ago?
[03/09/23, 11:23:15 AM] intern1: No sir
[03/09/23, 11:24:07 AM] intern1: He wasn’t bedridden, he used to do his daily activities sir
[03/09/23, 11:44:02 AM] Prof: What were his hourly daily activities?

[03/09/23, 6:46:36 PM] intern1: Yea sir but he used to not do his daily activities and he used to just lie down on bed the whole day
[03/09/23, 7:49:34 PM] Prof: That means he was bed ridden after the fall
