ABGs on 2 L/NC are as follows: 7.48, 51 mmHg, 48 mmHg, 41 mEq/L. The patient is stabilized and admitted for further observation and evaluation in the AM by his PCP. During routine nightly VS check the patient exhibits the following: HR 122, RR 28 bpm, B/P 168/90, SpO2 87% on 2 L/NC while sleeping. The sats are reported to the nurse and the liter flow to the nasal cannula is increased to 5L/min which brings the patient’s SpO2 to 98% while sleeping. In the morning you enter the patient’s room to administer a nebulizer treatment with albuterol and you note the patient is not easily rousable.
