The client currently has bilateral soft wrist restraints. Plan is to send the patient out of state; we are awaiting a bed at the receiving hospital. The patient is immunosuppressed and is currently septic. The patient is fluid volume overloaded. The patients lab data has improved since his admission early yesterday morning. An attempt was made during the day to wean the patient of the ventilator but was unsuccessful as the patient could not maintain oxygen saturation greater than 92%. My interpretation of the ABGs indicating partially compensated metabolic acidosis. Lab/Diagnostics: Chest X-ray on 3/8/13 indicated cardiomegaly with evidence of fluid overload and small bilateral pleural effusions. Right mid lung edema or superimposed infection Vital Sign Ranges for last 24 hours: BP: 123/67- 159/22 HR: 69-150bpm RR: 22 VENT SET Temp: 36-36.4 degrees CO/CI/PAP/PAWP: Not Applicable Pulse Ox: 100% BS Ranges: 181-213 Admit Weight: 100Kg Current Wt.: 102.4K Recommendations for the next nurse: The patient is currently on a Heparin drip that had to be started in the middle of the night because he converted to atrial fibrillation with RVR, the patient has not converted back to NSR as of yet; The protocol is in the chart. We are still waiting for the patient to be life-flighted to an out of state hospital and everything is ready in the chart. We have been watching his rhythm closely since the conversion and suggest you do the same. Labs have been ordered for this morning at 0800 including CBC, CMP, Mag, Phos, ABGs and a PTT. The patient should also have the results from this mornings CXR soon. Other than the conversion the night went smoothly, the physician stated he would be back this morning to evaluate how the Heparin is working. The patient has an IJ central line with quad lumens; all of the lines are patent.
