Coronavirus case presentation in a patient with loss of consciousness due to dyspnea.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Severity of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID19) is presented with respiratory distress.

Case presentation

We present a case of a 29-year-old male who was not presented with typical symptoms of COVID19 at the time of referral but loss of consciousness.

Clinical discussion

The importance of testing patients without typical symptoms for coronavirus infection and multi-system manifestation of the virus is presented in this case.

Conclusion

Severe drop in oxygen saturation in asymptomatic patients can lead to encephalopathy.

Project description:BackgroundThe clinical manifestations of pulmonary embolism are varied, and atypical pulmonary embolism can easily be missed in some patients, resulting in serious clinical consequences and injuries.Case descriptionThis report describes a rare case of acute pulmonary embolism with loss of consciousness as the first manifestation. A 50-year-old male was admitted with loss of consciousness and difficulty breathing. Acute coronary syndromes and neurological disorders such as seizures were excluded by clinical history and electrocardiogram dynamic changes. Multiple clues such as coagulation function and myocardial enzymes are highly suggestive of pulmonary embolism, after the completion of computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) diagnosis, the severity of the acute pulmonary embolism was evaluated, after which the patient was given low-molecular-weight heparin sequentially overlapping with oral warfarin as the anticoagulation treatment. Following this, the life signs of the patient were stable, and there were no special complaints; thus, this patient was discharged smoothly. As of this writing, the patient is still being followed up clinically with no recurrent embolism or deterioration occurred.ConclusionsThis case is of guiding significance for the early detection and rapid diagnosis and treatment of such patients with pulmonary embolism. It is necessary to acquire the vital signs, including those related to heart rate, electrocardiography, respiration, and blood oxygen saturation in the first clinical contact for patients with syncope as soon as possible. Patients with problems related to the above-mentioned basic vital signs should be highly suspected of cardiopulmonary diseases, and CTPA should be performed as soon as possible after the evaluation of the clinical possibility of pulmonary embolism and D-dimer screening. Moreover, the critical degree of pulmonary embolism should be evaluated, and then reperfusion or anticoagulation treatment should be performed appropriately. This should be followed by etiology screening. To avoid recurrence or aggravation of pulmonary embolism, the cause of the disease should be determined and treated.
