39-jährige Frau mit schwerer COVID-19-Pneumonie: Erfolgreiches Weaning nach septischem Schock und Vorfußamputation wegen mikrovaskulärer Komplikationen
39-Year-Old Woman with Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia: Successful Weaning after Septic Shock and Forefoot Amputation after Microvascular Complications
Zusammenfassung
Wir präsentieren den Fall einer leicht adipösen 39-jährigen Patientin mit dem schweren Verlauf einer COVID-19-Pneumonie. Die Patientin wurde aus einem Krankenhaus der Regelversorgung mit Verdacht auf eine COVID-19-Pneumonie zugewiesen. Initial bestand die klinische Symptomatik aus Dysurie und Fieber. Im Röntgen-Thorax zeigte sich ein bilaterales Infiltrat. Im CT-Thorax fanden sich beidseits fortgeschrittene COVID-19-typische Veränderungen. Bestätigt wurde die COVID-19-Infektion durch eine positive SARS-CoV-2-PCR aus dem Nasen-Rachen-Abstrich. Bei progredientem ARDS mit respiratorischer Erschöpfung wurde die Patientin intubiert und invasiv beatmet. Unter einem Verdacht auf eine bakterielle Superinfektion leiteten wir eine empirische antibiotische Therapie ein. Es wurde mit Dexamethason begonnen zu behandeln. Zusätzlich wurde ASS und gewichtsadaptiertes halbtherapeutisches niedermolekulares Heparin in die Therapie mit aufgenommen. Im Rahmen der intensivmedizinischen Behandlung entwickelte die Patientin einen fulminanten septischen Schock mit konsekutiver schwerer Thrombozytopenie. Es erfolgte eine dilatative Tracheotomie. Der Weaning-Progress blieb durch rezidivierende septische Schübe erschwert. Als ursächlich für die septischen Schübe konnte eine Nekrose im Bereich des rechten Fußes ausgemacht werden. Bei fehlendem alternativen Fokus erfolgte die chirurgische Sanierung mit Teilamputation. Anschließend blieb die Patientin infektfrei und konnte vom Respirator entwöhnt werden.
Abstract
We present the case of a slightly obese 39-year-old patient with a severe course of COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient was referred from a hospital to regular care with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia. The initial clinical symptoms consisted of dysuria and fever. A bilateral infiltrate was seen in the chest x-ray. In the CT thorax, advanced COVID-19 typical changes were found on both sides. The COVID-19 infection was confirmed by a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR from the nasopharynx smear. In the case of progressive ARDS with respiratory exhaustion, the patient was intubated and invasively ventilated. When a bacterial superinfection was suspected, we initiated empirical antibiotic therapy. In addition, a therapy with dexamethasone was applied. Therapy with ASA and weight-adapted semi-therapeutic low molecular weight heparin was also carried out. During the intensive care treatment the patient developed a fulminant septic shock with consecutive severe thrombocytopenia. A dilated tracheotomy was performed. The weaning progress was hampered by recurrent septic attacks. Necrosis in the area of the right foot was identified as the cause of the septic relapses. As there was no alternative focus, surgical rehabilitation with partial amputation was carried out. The patient then remained infection-free and could be weaned from the respirator.
