Oxygen was immediately placed on the patient with minimal relief. Lung sounds were coarse throughout. She then began to vomit about every 20-30 seconds. Epipen was administered in the right leg with no relief. Patient continued to complain of troubles breathing and vomiting. A second epipen was administered in the patients right arm again with no relief. A few minutes later patient was given racemic epinephrine through the oxygen mask.

When EMS arrived patient was unable to transport herself to the stretcher. When EMS and clinical staff transferred patient to the stretcher she became unresponsive. She appeared to still be breathing. She did not respond to verbal stimuli. Per ED report large amount of fluid was suctioned from the patients lungs following intubation in the ambulance.

Shortly thereafter no cardiac activity was found and patient pronounced dead.

 Patient was vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 on 6-Jan-21 at his site of employment, a Nursing Home. Patient presented to Urgent Care on 15-Jan-21 complaining of left sided chest pain that started the evening before with an associated slight cough. Pt was afebrile with a heart rate of 88 and an O2 sat on room air of 98% in triage. His EKG showed a sinus tachycardia of 114 with a slightly prolonged QTc of 463 ms. Physical exam was significant for bibasilar crackles and X-ray showed bibasilar infiltrates consistent with COVID pneumonia but bacterial pneumonia could not be excluded. The patients BP was documented as 97/64. He was treated with Zofran for nausea and tylenol. He was prescribed a five day course of Azithromycin, an Albuterol inhaler, guaifenessin with codeine cough syrup, and Zofran. Labs were drawn and he was discharged. His lab results were reported after his departure and were significant for a white blood cell count of 1.33, platelet count of 73, 2% myelocytes, 1% metamyelocytes, an absolute neutrophil count of 0.75 K/ul, a creatinine of 1.83, total bilirubin of 1.3, with direct bilirubin of 0.8, alkaline phosphatase of 294 and AST of 112 with ALT noted to be within normal limit. His COVID nasopharyngeal swab from the visit was reported as negative and a swab performed at his employment on 13-Jan-21 was also reported to be negative. Patient could not be reached by phone after discharge from Urgent Care about these labs. On the evening of 16-Jan-21, Police Department received a 911 call about an adult at the patient's address who was found unresponsive. Upon arrival on scene, the patient was found to be deceased and a decision was made not to attempt to resuscitate. The death was deemed to be non-suspicious and the patient's body was transported to a funeral home. On 19-Jan-21, I contacted the State Medical Examiner's Office. They have decided to perform an autopsy and have recovered the CBC and chemistry specimens obtained for further testing.

 

Patient received COVID-19 vaccination on 1/14/2021. On 1/17/2021, patient was transferred to Hospital s/p multiple cardiac arrests.

All these conditions more likely contributed to patients cardiac arrest resulting in death. However, based on a close temporal association (""Patient was found pulseless and breathless 20 minutes following the second dose of BNT162B2 vaccine administration, contributory role of BNT162B2 vaccine to the onset of reported events cannot be completely excluded.

Upon arrival on scene, the patient was found to be deceased and a decision was made not to attempt to resuscitate. The death was deemed to be non-suspicious and the patient's body was transported to a funeral home. On 19-Jan-21, I contacted the State Medical Examiner's Office. They have decided to perform an autopsy and have recovered the CBC and chemistry specimens obtained for further testing.

 

Patient has end stage renal disease and rapidly worsening dementia, family could no longer care for him at home, and he was admitted for 14-day quarantine prior to admission to inpatient hospice. Received vaccine on 1/12 without apparent adverse reactions. Patient started refusing oral intake on 1/16, and CMP on 1/17 showed hypernatremia 165 (new issue). His BUN 138 CREAT 6.93 K 5.2 were his baseline. He was found to be deceased on 1/18 at 11:18 pm.

 

Patient presented to Vaccine clinic 1/12/21 to receive COVID vaccination. Patient denied any ill feeling, no fever, cleared for vaccination.

 Patient was vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 on 6-Jan-21 at his site of employment, a Nursing Home. Patient presented to Urgent Care on 15-Jan-21 complaining of left sided chest pain that started the evening before with an associated slight cough. Pt was afebrile with a heart rate of 88 and an O2 sat on room air of 98% in triage. His EKG showed a sinus tachycardia of 114 with a slightly prolonged QTc of 463 ms. Physical exam was significant for bibasilar crackles and X-ray showed bibasilar infiltrates consistent with COVID pneumonia but bacterial pneumonia could not be excluded. The patients BP was documented as 97/64. He was treated with Zofran for nausea and tylenol. He was prescribed a five day course of Azithromycin, an Albuterol inhaler, guaifenessin with codeine cough syrup, and Zofran. Labs were drawn and he was discharged. His lab results were reported after his departure and were significant for a white blood cell count of 1.33, platelet count of 73, 2% myelocytes, 1% metamyelocytes, an absolute neutrophil count of 0.75 K/ul, a creatinine of 1.83, total bilirubin of 1.3, with direct bilirubin of 0.8, alkaline phosphatase of 294 and AST of 112 with ALT noted to be within normal limit. His COVID nasopharyngeal swab from the visit was reported as negative and a swab performed at his employment on 13-Jan-21 was also reported to be negative.

He was in refractory ventricular fibrillation and continued CPR for a total of 1 hour. At that point, we checked a bedside ultrasound which showed his heart at a standstill. He was unresponsive to verbal and tactile stimulus and had fixed unreactive pupils. He was pronounced at 16:13.
