Background Info:
42-year-old female patient presented to the emergency room after experiencing two weeks of nausea, dyspepsia, fever, and upper abdominal pain. A HIDA scan was completed confirming the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. The pt. underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy late this morning and just returned to the floor from the PACU 1 hr. ago. She received a total of 1500ml LR during the procedure, and 6mg Morphine and 4 mg Zofran in the PACU. Her last set of vitals in the PACU: P-88, R-20, BP-122/76, and O2Sat 95% on 2L of O2 via NC. The pt. is a full code, allergic to latex, adhesive tape, and bees. She lives alone with one cat, she’s overweight but currently working on weight loss, denies smoking and drinks a few glasses of wine a week. Additional past medical and surgical history considerations include routine mammogram (2020), tonsillectomy (1987), wisdom tooth removal (1998), high cholesterol and non-insulin dependent diabetes managed with Metformin.
