Death summary:
80 year old female, daily wage labourer by occupation came with chief complaints of
Constipation since 3 weeks, pedal edema since 1 week, shortness of breath (grade 4), cough, abdominal distension and decreased urine output since 3 days. She presented to the hospital in altered state with saturation at room air was 65-68% and with high flow oxygen saturation was 85-90%. Her echo showed right heart failure and kept on high flow oxygen since then. She was drowsy since the admission and 1 transfusion has been done(HB -5.3gm/dl) and due to no urine output 3 sessions of Hemodialysis has been done and due to falling saturation (ABG showed pO2 around 75) patient has been intubated by ET 7.0 on 7th Aug @ 9:15 am and since then Patient is kept on ACMV mode with
Fio2 - 50%
RR - 14cpm
VT - 380

Today morning around 9:30 am, B/L pupils dilated, non reactive to light, saturations are not maintained and BP is also not recordable. Immediate CPR was initiated and continued for 6 cycles. After 6 cycles ECG showed flat line that confirmed death.

Time of death: 08/08/2021, @ 10:10 am

Immediate cause of death:
Refractory hypotension secondary to sepsis, respiratory failure

Antecedent cause of death:
AKI secondary to sepsis induced
With right heart failure with Congestive hepatopathy
With chronic atypical mycobacterium Infection
With chronic fibrosis and collapse of right middle lobe and lingular segment
