Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral infiltrates and nodular densities. A previous chest CT done 6 years prior to admission revealed multiple micronodules scattered throughout both lung fields. The patient had had a previous lung biopsy 20 years prior to admission which revealed lentil starch material in bronchioles and multifocal foreign body giant cell reactions.

Corticosteroid use can increase the frequency of fungal infection, mask symptoms, and delay the diagnosis, and thus warrant preventive measures. Maintaining a high index of suspicion is important, and prophylactic antibiotics, particularly trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, should be considered for high-risk patients. This case underscores the diagnosis of PJP in a patient with interstitial lung disease receiving prolonged steroid therapy, despite lacking HIV and conventional risk factors for this infection. Notably, PJP can present as a more severe infection in non-HIV patients, leading to higher mortality rates and stressing the need for swift and effective diagnosis and treatment by healthcare providers. \u0000Keywords: Pneumocystis jirovecii; pneumonia; chronic corticosteroid treatment use; fungal pneumonia; interstitial lung disease","PeriodicalId":22976,"journal":{"name":"The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of diabetes has steadily increased over the past few decades, and approximately 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2019. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes that can be life-threatening. It occurs more frequently in the patients with type 1 diabetes but can also develop in people with type 2 diabetes. It was determined that the average cost per DKA episode was $6,444, and that the annual cost of medical treatment in a diabetic patient with a prior episode of DKA was 2.67 times higher than a diabetic patient with no history of DKA. The criteria for DKA resolution at University Medical Center (UMC) in Lubbock, Texas, are different from current American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. At UMC, a plasma bicarbonate ≥18 mEq/L, a venous pH > 7.3, and anion gap ≤12 mEq/L must be recorded twice (4 hours apart) before bridging to subcutaneous long-acting insulin administration. This time requirement could contribute to a longer time for DKA resolution and longer intensive care unit and hospital stays.Keywords: Diabetic ketoacidosis, DKA resolution","PeriodicalId":22976,"journal":{"name":"The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles","volume":" 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141832022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review provides treatment recommendations for managing anxiety during weaning and extubation from mechanical ventilation. Factors predisposing to anxiety include cerebral vascular disease, endocrine disorders, cardiopulmonary decompensation, disrupted sleep-wake cycles, and the stressful ICU environment. This review analyzed 21 articles sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed, focusing on case reports, case series, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. These studies reported that dexmedetomidine effectively reduces extubation time and ICU length of stay through its anxiolytic properties. Antipsychotics, like quetiapine, showed potential in managing anxiety during ventilator weaning, but high-dose haloperidol posed risks. Benzodiazepines were linked to paradoxical agitation and respiratory suppression. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as aromatherapy, music therapy, and massage therapy, appeared to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Caregiver approaches, including parental presence and psychological training, also reduced anxiety. In conclusion, non-pharmacological approaches should be prioritized, and pharmacological treatments considered when necessary. More research is essential to identify optimal treatments for post-extubation anxiety with minimal patient risk and effective symptom control. \u0000Keywords: Anxiety, ICU patients, critically ill patients, post-extubation","PeriodicalId":22976,"journal":{"name":"The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
