This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs. This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box

DEATH SUMMARY:-

70yrs old female pt came to casualty with h/o spontaneous bleb formation followed by pricking them and development of cellulitis for which treated outside with debridement and fasciotomy following which patient developed sepsis and sepsis induced cardiomyopathy (on antibiotics and inotropes ,CAG done outside normal coronaries),came LAMA from the outside hospital.At presentation patient vitals Bp-130/90mm Hg; PR -118bpm; RR- 84 cpm.GCS E2V1M4,spo2 88at RR ,94 with 6lit O2,after few hours patient started having worsening hypoxemia and has been electively intubated and connected to MV in view of low GCS and hypoxemia.Started on iv antibiotics,Slow IV fluids based on urine output,diuretics,inotropes, sedatives ,paralytics and thromboprophylaxsis.Serum lactate was 10.
Suregry referral was taken immediately after admission,debridement followed by amputation (sos) was adviced in view of necrotising fascitis but patient attendors have given consent neither for debridement nor for amputation and asked to continue the conservative treatment at their own risk.On 11/9/2022 at 3:30pm patient had fall in HR ,followed by sudden cardiac arrest,4-5cycles of cpr done but patient could not be revived and declared dead at 4:30 pm As ECG showed flat line. 

Immediate cause of death : Sepsis with MODS
