Abstract

A 43 y.o. female with a history of alcohol use disorder and delirium tremens presented with severe epigastric pain associated with hematemesis. CT revealed hepatomegaly, hepatic steatosis, and peripancreatic soft tissue stranding consistent with acute pancreatitis. She was transfused with packed RBCs and FFP, along with infusions of Rocephin, NAC, Protonix, and octreotide. While undergoing repeat CT, patient suffered a PEA arrest followed by V-fib. Following successful resuscitation, patient was ultimately intubated and placed on vasopressors due to LV dysfunction. We will discuss the critical care management of a patient with multiple comorbidities
