INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT

( ICU, NEPHROLOGY AND WARD ( 12/10/22 to 27/10/22))

During my ICU and nephrology duties I learnt how crucial monitoring is for the patient.Basic vital monitoring like BP, GRBS, temperature and pulse can affect the prognosis and outcome of the patient.

During ward duties I accomplished leader ship quality of conducting classes along with my Pgs , recording videos of the classes and making co- interns to update soap notes

This helped me towards a cognitive approach of a patient and their follow up.

The pre-existing ILD significantly worsens the prognosis of this covid patient.  Interstitial lung disease is characterized by dyspnea, decreased pulmonary diffusing capacity, decreased FVC and TLC. The SpO2 of these patients is usually decreased due to increased A-a gradient A superimposed covid-19 infection in these cases can cause an acute exacerbation of symptoms such as dyspnea, decreasing levels of SpO2 further and faster than in Covid-19 patients without interstitial lung disease.  Radiology (HRCT) usually shows the development of new pulmonary opacities and fibrosis.
