https://sreejaboga.blogspot.com/2020/11/is-online-e-log-book-to-discuss-our.html?m=1

Chest pain:epigastric region-may be in esophagus (Gerd)or pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, inferior wall MI


Abdominal distension : hepatitis,cirrhosis hypoalbuminemia or renal failure or heart failure. In surgical point of view we can also consider peritonitis as he also have abdominal pain (site not mentioned), hollow viscus perforation. 


He is a known case of alcoholic so we can also think of hepatorenal syndrome.


He also have SOB which can be attributed to lung pathology or heart failure or renal failure which lead to pulmonary edema or pleural effusion causing SOB. He is also a smoker so it goes in favour of lung pathology. His chest X-ray showed pleural effusion. So that explains the crepts in systemic examination.His ABG also shows acidosis which can also cause SOB. 


Events:

Congenital bow leg deformity----> Alcohol & smoking (30 years)----> Abdominal pain & distention , SOB , chest pain , decreased urine output (3 days)


OUTCOMES:


Urine output increased , pedal edema and SOB decreased (Day-2)---->Altered sensorium (Day-3)----> Dialysis done (Day-4)----> Bilious vomiting (Day-5)---->Dialysis done (Day-6)----> Abdominal pain & vomitings subsided (Day-8)---->MHD for his renal failure ----> Patient died (Day-15)


Pharmacological interventions

Fluid therapy in view of third space volume loss in acute pancreatitis.

Antibiotics for pancreatitis.

Tramadol for pain management.

Zofer-for complaints of nausea and episodes of vomiting 

Lasix-for ascitis and decreased urine output.

 Nebulization because of his creptitations


Non pharmacological interventions

It is a case of fever and going by the history we can suspect UTI or respiratory tract infection as there are chills and rigors. Further into the discussion we can also include tuberculosis,malignancy.

The patient has generalised weakness,weight loss, chronic anemia which may include malignancy as the differential.

Patient also gives GI symptoms of vomiting, pain abdomen in right hypochondriac region where liver is present. This may also include hepatitis. Hepatitis is further supported by vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss.
