Handling Diabetic patients with septic shock condition, AE-COPD, and HAP pneumonia given fluconazole infusion: A case report
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by abnormalities in ventilation, including disturbances in the airflow channel. In case this patient is 58 years old with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute exacerbation (COPD AE), Heart Failure (HF), Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Hypokalemia, Hypoalbumin. When treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) patient experiencing HAP pneumonia and septic condition, with blood sugar at 324, and use insulin later in an empirical patient treated with antifungal Fluconazole infusion, from the drugs used, researchers need to examine whether fluconazole and insulin are used in the therapy of septic conditions with diabetes. After conducting a literature review of the use of fluconazole infusion and insulin in patients with septic condition cases, things This done to prevent the occurrence of death in patients treated in the ICU. Fluconazole and insulin in the treatment of ICU patients with septic conditions have an appropriate level for preventing death.
