0-2 white blood cells, less than 1 red blood cell, and no ketones. blood cultures and urine cultures were drawn on admission. on admission to the micu, the patient was supported with fluids as needed. patient was also started on linezolid and meropenem empirically for presumed sepsis. patient remained stable overnight and on , the patient was transferred from the micu to the medicine firm. summary of hospital course: 1. fever and hypotension, presumed sepsis. although initially the source of infection was not known, patient was started empirically on meropenem and linezolid for presumed sepsis secondary to osteomyelitis. although the patient originally declined mri to evaluate for osteomyelitis on , the patient underwent a mri to evaluate which showed right ischium and right greater trochanter osteomyelitis and also a right greater trochanteric fracture. in addition, there was evidence for a left greater trochanter osteomyelitis, this is evidenced by bone marrow edema as well as enhancement. the patient's wounds were cultured and these revealed coagulase-positive staphylococcus aureus, three colonies. sensitivities on these later revealed that one colony was linezolid resistant mrsa. upon this finding, the patient was switched from linezolid to synercid. in addition, the patient's wound revealed gram-negative rods pansensitive to klebsiella and additionally rare yeast. prior to his change to synercid, the patient did have one spiking temperature on to 101.3. the patient was again cultured. all cultures remained negative on this patient. given the patient's history of recurrent urinary tract infections, an additional source of infection was considered, however, urine cultures were also negative for this patient. the patient remained stable, afebrile with blood pressures in the 110s/60s to the time of transfer to the plastic service on . patient will continue on his antibiotics, meropenem and synercid. 2. chronic renal insufficiency: patient was admitted with a creatinine of 3.8. patient was hydrated and this improved throughout his hospital course, and on the time of transfer to the plastic service, the patient's creatinine was stable at 2.6. this was much improved for this patient and well within the patient's baseline. mri which had been performed had suggested hydronephrosis as a consequence of this on , a renal ultrasound was performed to evaluate the patient's kidneys. renal ultrasound showed mild right hydronephrosis unchanged from prior. in addition to this, there was moderate to severe left hydronephrosis, possibly increased from prior. dr. , the patient's nephrologist, was aware of these results. given the patient's improvement in renal function and the chronic nature of his hydronephrosis, this was not deemed to be an acute inpatient issue. the patient will follow up with dr. further for complete followup of his bilateral hydronephrosis. 3. decubitus ulcers: the ulcers were evaluated and followed by the plastics service. she will need further debridement of these wounds, which will be followed up upon his further hospital course on transfer to the plastics service. 4. osteomyelitis: patient with mri confirmed osteomyelitis, also requiring surgical debridement. the plastics and orthopedic surgery teams are coordinating for a surgical date. by request for surgical planning and further evaluation of the osteomyelitis, in addition to the mri on , a ct scan of the patient's pelvis was obtained on as well as plain films. this again, will be managed further as his hospital course continues on the plastics service. 5. seizures: the patient had a history of seizures last in . the patient was admitted on depakote for seizure prophylaxis, however, valproic acid levels were checked while in house, and these remained consistently low. a trial of iv valproic acid was attempted, however, the valproic acid levels remained low. this is possibly due to a medication which is inducing the t450 system and altering the clearance of valproic acid. as a result, the neurology service was consulted due to his need for change in seizure prophylaxis and also a completed workup given the fact the patient had missed outpatient appointments with neurology due to his admission. they suggested the patient start on keppra. renal dosing for this was considered, and the patient remains on a dose of 750 mg of keppra for seizure prophylaxis. the patient tolerated this change well. there have been no seizures while on service. the neurology team evaluated the patient, and a mri of the patient's head was obtained on . there were no focal abnormalities. the neurologic team signed off on this patient, and the patient should follow up in clinic with dr. or dr. . 6. right shoulder pain: the patient complained of pain in his right shoulder after the ct scan of his pelvis, when he said during movement for this scan, he injured his right shoulder. the patient had an old right shoulder injury as well. patient's shoulder was somewhat swollen, and he had decreased range of motion secondary to pain. on , a shoulder mri was obtained which revealed no bony abnormalities, no soft tissue or ligamentous injury. the patient was given ultram as an additional pain medication in an effort to make him more comfortable. the patient can followup for this right shoulder pain with orthopedics during this hospital course. 7. chronic pain: patient with multiple decubitus ulcers requiring outpatient pain medications. the patient was continued on his oxycodone and also oxycodone acetaminophen prn. the patient was not utilizing any maximum doses of these medications while in-house. 8. anemia: the patient was admitted with a hematocrit of 18. he was transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells. patient's hematocrit increased from this and remains stable at a hematocrit of 28 while on the medicine service. patient's stool was guaiacked, and the patient was guaiac negative. there was no evidence for blood loss anemia was presumed secondary to anemia of chronic disease. the patient was started on epogen shots for further management of his anemia. 9. fen: the patient was taking good po while in house. he occasionally required repletion of magnesium and required phosphate binders. the patient's potassium rose to 5.3 on occasion while in-house. this was deemed to be due to excessive drinking of gatorade, and the patient was encouraged to minimize this intake. 10. psychiatric: patient is followed by social work for psychiatric issues surrounding his diagnosis and paraplegia. the patient declined any further intervention by psychology at this time. this is a summary of hospital course up until when the patient was transferred to the plastic service for further surgical planning for debridement of his wounds and underlying osteomyelitis. on transfer to the plastic service, the patient was stable. he was afebrile and had not been hypotensive for well over a week. ,

of note, this discharge summary will only entail the dates from to the discharge date of . previous to that, the patient was on the medicine service and a discharge summary can be found covering those dates. also, refer to that discharge summary for history of present illness and past medical history in completion. hospital course: 1. decubitus ulcers: in brief, this is a 28-year-old male who is paraplegic t12 from a mva accident in . he presented initially with fever and hypotension and the source was found to be multiple decubitus ulcers in the buttock region. after stabilization on the medicine team, he was transferred to the plastics team for repair of these ulcers. hospital course: the decubitus ulcers entail the bilateral greater trochanters, stage iv, right ischial, stage ii, coccyx, stage iv, and left heel, stage ii. on , the patient was taken to the or for debridement of these decubitus ulcers as well as closure of the ischial ulcer and a gluteal flap was placed for the bilateral trochanter ulcers. he was taken once again to the or on for debridement of the right trochanter wound and readvancement of the gluteal flap. the patient followed a normal postoperative course where he was in the sicu with the exception of prolonged intubation. he was extubated on and it was thought that intubation should be prolonged to maintain sedation to keep the prone position. the prone position was essential for the healing of the ulcers and in prior operations the patient had not been able to comply with this. thus, it was felt that keeping his intubated as long as appropriately possible would aid in the healing. extubation occurred on . the patient was transferred to the floor on . the remaining wounds were initially treated with wet-to-dry dressing changes upon discharge. once granulation tissue was present, the trochanter wounds were placed on high suction vacuum which was changed every three to five days. the sacral wound continued to be changed twice a day with wet-to-dry dressings. this type of wound care will continue as the patient is discharged into rehabilitation. on discharge, all wound sites look healthy with good tissue, no signs of infection. sutures and drains have been removed and the skin is healing well. 2. osteomyelitis: as the patient presented with fever to the medicine team, cultures were taken of these areas in the or. both orthopedics and infectious disease were consulted to evaluate the continued osteomyelitis condition of this patient. cultures of the bones indicated that this patient had mrsa resistant to linazolid and also klebsiella. soft tissue showed the presence of yeast. based on these findings, per id recommendations, the patient was placed on a six week course of meropenem and synercid which he will finish in rehabilitation and completed in-house a two week course of fluconazole. a picc line was placed in the patient's arm prior to discharge for administration of these antibiotics. on discharge, the patient had been afebrile for greater than two weeks. weekly lfts were drawn and within normal limits during the course of antibiotic treatment. 3. renal: the patient is known to have chronic renal insufficiency secondary to his paraplegia. at baseline, he requires straight catheterization. he was transferred to the plastics team with a creatinine of 1.8, although it was documented in his records that he does run as high as 2.3 as baseline at times. in the week prior to discharge, it was noted that his creatinine bumped from 1.8 up to 2.3 and as high as 2.6. a renal consult was obtained. it was thought that this increase was due in part to a foley that was in the patient's bladder during his hospital stay that relieved his baseline hydronephrosis as well as some dehydration. per renal recommendations, the patient was bolused with fluids for a period of 48 hours and continued on maintenance dose. a renal ultrasound was performed which showed mild hydronephrosis of the left kidney. the right kidney was not visualized secondary to the patient's positioning and uncooperative with examination. this was thought to be an improving condition as renal had suspected from his baseline condition. during this time period, his potassium became elevated as high as 5.6. ekgs continued to remain normal. on discharge, potassium was within normal range at 4.6. per renal recommendations, the patient was placed on florinef. he will follow-up with his own nephrologist, dr. , upon discharge. according to renal recommendations, the patient has been receiving weekly epogen shots. also, with the increased creatinine, medication adjustments were made according to renal consults regarding the antibiotics. 4. anemia: of note, the patient received multiple transfusions throughout his hospital stay for low hematocrit secondary to postoperative course. specifically, he received 2 units of packed red blood cells on , 2 units on , 2 units on , and 4 units on . the patient remained stable following these blood transfusions and the last hematocrit was approximately 30. 5. perianal abscess: a perianal abscess was noted on because of the proximity to his flap as well as remaining ulcers. a general surgery consult was obtained. this was closely watched and followed and was noted to spontaneously open in continuity with the anus on . this spontaneous fistulotomy required no operative care and the issue is resolved. 6. seizures: the patient has a history of seizures. he was maintained on keppra 500 b.i.d. this was not an issue during his time on the plastic surgery service. per the medicine discharge note, he is to follow-up with neurology and the clinic for further workup. 7. right shoulder pain: this was previously noted as an issue on the medicine service. the patient had mild right shoulder pain, most likely from the required position that he needed to be in to optimize healing his wounds. he was given appropriate pain medications and he is to follow-up with orthopedics as needed. 8. psychiatric: at times, the patient was found to be withdrawn and occasionally refusing services that would be beneficial to his health. a psychiatry consult was sought on . the psychiatric team was familiar with this patient, calling this episode and adjustment disorder with disturbance of mood and conduct and there were no active issues and care remained optimal. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: the patient will be discharged to rehabilitation for the remaining course of his antibiotics which is 12 days, at which point he can be discharged to home with nursing care. discharge medications: 1. meropenem 1 gram iv q. 12. 2. synercid 400 mg iv q. eight. the patient needs these for 12 more days to complete a six week course. 3. oxycodone 40 mg q. 12 p.r.n. 4. percocet one to two tablets q. four to six hours p.r.n. 5. florinef 0.1 mg p.o. q.d. 6. keppra 500 mg b.i.d. 7. metoprolol 50 mg b.i.d. 8. pepcid 20 mg b.i.d. 9. xanax 0.5 t.i.d. p.r.n. 10. the patient also received an epogen every week as well as b.i.d. heparin 5,000 units. nursing home care: 1. antibiotics will be administered for 12 more days through the picc. vacuumed. 2. vacuum changes are required every three to five days. 3. wet-to-dry dressing changes are needed on the sacral area twice a day. 4. weekly lfts are required to be drawn while the patient is on the antibiotics. follow-up plans: the patient is to follow-up with dr. one week after discharge from rehabilitation center. the patient is to follow-up with his nephrologist, dr. . the patient is to follow-up with the neurology clinic for full workup of seizures of new onset in . the patient is to follow-up with orthopedics as needed for further evaluation of right shoulder pain. dr.,

uti and bacteremia. his multiple decubitus ulcers were also a potential source, but his blood grew e coli and plastics felt the wounds were clean. the patient improved on zosyn and linezolid while in the micu. other possible etiologies of the patient's ams include overdose and neurologic etiology. head ct was negative on admission and tox screen was positive only for benzodiazepines, which he is taking as an outpatient. the patient's mental status improved dramatically with treatment for his infection and remained at baseline. 2. uti: the patient had an elevated wbc count and had a urine sample which grew pan-sensitive e coli. his blood cultures were also positive for e coli. given a concern for infected decubitus ulcers as well, he was treated with both zosyn and linezolid in the micu with improvement in his clinical status. platics did not feel that his ulcers were infected. on transfer to the floor, the patient's linezolid was discontinued and his zosyn was continued. follow-up cultures were negative. 3. recurrent fevers: pt began spiking temps up to 103 even though uti has resolved. ct pelvis was performed and showed osteo, specifically increased osteo (comp to )

plastics saw him in the ed and felt that his wound was not actively infected and recommended a ct pelvis when pt more stable. the patient had a kinair bed for decreased sacral pressure and wound dressing changes with iodoform gauze per plastics. he is scheduled for a flap procedure by dr. on . dressing changes to be continued as outpt. . 4. arf: the patient was admitted with a creatinine of 3.3, over his baseline around , suggesting acute on chronic kidney disease. likely due to prerenal azotemia in the setting of infection as patient appeared dry and his creatinine improved to his

nsr on tele * hypertension: the patient's blood pressure was initially difficult to control despite being on a nitro drip, beta blocker, hydralazine, nitrate, and dilt. when amlodipine was added, however, the patient's blood pressure responded well and he was able to be weaned off the nitro drip as well as decreasing his beta blocker and hydralazine dose. * renal failure: after cardiac catheterization, the patient experienced dye nephropathy with an acute rise in his creatinine. he was hemodialyzed with good effect. afterward, the patient's renal function was carefully monitored and he received lasix prn to encourage renal output. he responded well to several doses of lasix 80 mg and at discharge, was able to produce around 800 cc's of urine in one day without lasix. the renal service evaluated the patient and expects that renal function will recover slowly and that he will not likely require hemodialysis again. in light of the patient's renal failure, cardiac surgery did not feel comfortable operating. instead, the patient is to follow up with them in three weeks after checking creatinine again. should values be closer to the patient's normal range, cardiac surgery will be reconsidered. * type 1 diabetes - the patient was maintained on a regular insulin sliding scale. * id: the patient remained afebrile during his hospital course. he was treated empirically with ceftriaxone/azithromycin to complete a 7 day course in light of asymmetric right>left pulmonary edema. * glaucoma -

resistant to vanco 10,000-100,000 colonies. a repeat urine was sent and the foley was removed; cx grew only yeast. she remained afebrile, with a normal wbc, throughout the remainder of her hospitalization. a pcxr on showed a question of a new l medical base infiltrate; however, in absence of fever and stable wbc, did not treat with abx, followed clinically. there was a concern that the patient may have experienced an aspiration event; however she did not worsen clinically so no further treatment provided other than measures to reduce aspiration risk. . 3. l hip fracture, s/p orif: the patient was followed by orthopedics and did well, cleared for wbat and work with pt/ot; will need pt/ot at rehab when physically able. the patient will f/u with dr. 2 weeks from discharge date (number in discharge paperwork). . 4. delirium/dementia: the patient had a waxing/ mental status. at one point the patient pulled her iv lines including her picc line, occasionally requiring the use of soft restraints for her safety. olanzapine was used on a prn basis for agitation. frequent reorientation was used. pt has periods of apparent lucidity and makes insightful comments and conversation. . 5. fen: the patient failed multiple speech & swallow evaluations. the patient was initially on tpn via the picc line for nutrition. extensive discussions were had with the healthcare proxy regarding options for enteral nutrition. an albumin was 2.7. a peg was placed on and tube feeds were begun and the patient achieved her tf goal. electrolytes were stable. there was concern on that the patient was aspirating some of her tf reflux, despite no residuals when checked; a cxr was unchanged. a day later a repeat cxr showed a question of a new l medial base infiltrate (poor quality film). reglan was started, and tf were restarted at a slower rate. a ppi was also administered. hob kept elevated >30-45 degrees at all times. the patient was followed on a sliding scale insulin regimen with good effect. . 6. hypothyroidism: the patient was initially treated with iv levoxyl since she was npo; a tsh was checked: 8.5, difficult to interpret in an ill, hospitalized patient. a free t4 was wnl, so pt was maintained on same dose of levoxyl. once peg in place, po levoxyl started at same dosing per pharmacy recs. . 7. anemia: stable during remainder of

home resident with pmh of dvt , htn, gerd, dermatitis. she awoke this morning at 0540 with right arm weakness, slurred and inappropriate speech and bladder/bowel incontinence. she was noted to have said "i think i'm having a stroke". there was no associated fall or trauma. was reportedly aphasic and weak in the right upper extremity initially, but these deficits resolved at some point as noted in the osh records. en route, she reportedly desaturated to 88%, was put on face mask and improved, but required cpr for some reason. it is not known at this time if she was receiving cpr for cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest. . ct at osh showed intracranial hemorhhage. inr was found to be 6.4 (takes coumadin for h/o dvt this year). she was given ffp and transferred. . she was electively intubated at the osh () and arrived here to intubated but not sedated. on initial evaluation by neurology er resident, she was noted to be unresponsive, moving all four extremities spontaneously

without intravenous contrast: a large left frontoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage is again noted. there is questionable minimal increase in prominence of the caudal portion of the hemorrhage in comparison with the examination of several hours earlier. the degree of hypodensity surrounding the inferior portion of the hemorrhage also appears minimally increased, consistent with slight increase in edema. the degree of left to right subfalcine herniation is unchanged. there is no hydrocephalus or evidence of transtentorial herniation. bilateral cerebral periventricular white matter hypodensity is consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic change. there is no evidence of extra-axial hemorrhage. . bone windows demonstrate no evidence of fracture within the surrounding osseous structures. the mastoid air cells and visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses are normally pneumatized. . impression: left frontoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, questionably minimally increased along its caudal aspect, without change in degree of mass effect. . ct c spine: 1. no fracture or malalignment seen. 2. extensive degenerative disc disease as well as multilevel djd. . follow up ct: stable left frontoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. no change in degree of mass effect . eeg : abnormality #1: throughout the recording there were frequent bursts of mixed frequency slowing with a generalized distribution. there were also occasional bursts of bitemporal mixed frequency slowing. abnormality #2: background rhythm was usually disorganized. it was often somewhat slow, in the hz range although there were some faster frequencies. the background did react to external stimuli with some apparent alerting. hyperventilation: could not be performed. intermittent photic stimulation: could not be performed. sleep: no normal waking or sleeping morphologies were seen. cardiac monitor: showed a generally regular rhythm. impression: abnormal portable eeg due to the bursts of generalized slowing with additional bitemporal mixed frequency slowing. these findings suggest multifocal subcortical abnormalities. vascular disease is a relatively common cause of such findings. in addition, the background was disorganized and usually somewhat slow, suggesting a concomitant encephalopathy. there were no areas of prominent and persistent focal slowing, and there were no clear epileptiform features. . bilateral lenis: 1. no evidence of acute dvt. 2. evidence of prior dvt of the left popliteal vein. . mri/mra brain: findings: as noted on the prior ct, there is an acute 4 cm left frontoparietal intraparenchymal hematoma. there is a small amount of subdural blood present over the anterior left temporal lobe. there is mass effect upon the atrium of the ipsilateral lateral ventricle. however, there is no significant midline shift or herniation. there are no additional foci of abnormal magnetic susceptibility to indicate other microhemorrhages. there are multiple t2 hyperintensities within the subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres due to chronic microvascular infarct. . this study is slightly limited by patient motion artifact. there is no slow diffusion to indicate an acute infarct. . impression: large intraparenchymal left frontoparietal acute hematoma with a tiny amount of subdural blood along the left middle cranial fossa. . there is no evidence of other microhemorrhages. . no acute infarct. chronic microvascular infarct. . mra: normal brain mra, but limited by motion. . eeg : time samples: throughout the recording, there is continuous slowing of the left hemisphere in the mixed hz delta and hz theta frequency range. there were no clear epileptiform discharges seen throughout the recording. background: over the left hemisphere is more disorganized and represented a lower voltage gradient. the right hemisphere is mildly disorganized but reaches normal alpha frequency ranges. sleep: normal transitions of the sleep architecture were not seen. cardiac monitor: normal cardiac rhythm with a rate of 84 bpm. there was a continuous widespread qrs complex seen. automatic seizure detections: there were no entries in these files. automatic spike detections: there were 103 entries in these files. all entries represent movement and muscle artifact. pushbutton events: there was one pushbutton at the beginning of the recording which represented a system's test. impression: this is an abnormal discontinuous 24-hour long term eeg monitoring due to the presence of continuous slowing over the mixed delta and theta frequency range over the entire left hemisphere. there were no clear epileptiform discharges or seizure activity recorded. a widespread qrs complex was noted. . eeg : time samples: throughout the recording, there is a persistent moderate voltage slowing in the hz delta frequency range and intermittent theta frequency slowing over the entire left hemisphere with left temporal emphasis. as the study progressed, there are initially isolated sharp features over the left temporal region with phase reversing around t3 and runs of semi-rhythmic 5 hz theta frequency slowing in the left central region lasting up to 20 seconds. beginning in the early evening of the recording, there are frequent semi-rhythmic sharp and slow wave and spike slow wave discharges seen phase reversing around f7 and t3, secondarily spreading over the entire left hemisphere. the frequency of these discharges vary between 1 and 2 hz lasting from 1 a.m. to the end of the recording at 10 a.m. on . automatic seizure detections: there are three entries in these files. all events represent fast eye movements. there was no clear seizure activity recorded. automatic spike detections: there were 79 entries in these files. the majority of these entries represent muscle artifact. there were also a few sharp wave discharges over the left temporal region captured. please see above. pushbuttons: there were no entries in this file. sleep: normal transitions of the sleep architecture were not seen. cardiac monitor: there is a normal cardiac rhythm with a rate of 90 bpm. there are prolonged widespread qrs complexes alternating with normal qrs complexes seen. impression: this is an abnormal 24-hour discontinuous eeg telemetry due to the presence of prolonged epileptiform sharp and spike slow wave discharges seen over the left fronto-temporal region spreading over the entire left hemisphere. this finding was persistent for at least nine hours through the end of the recording. additionally, there is continuous delta frequency slowing over the entire left hemisphere. this finding suggests cortical and subcortical structural abnormalities. over the 24-hour eeg recording, there are described discharges over the left hemisphere which became more frequent and persistent but there were no clear seizures recorded. widespread qrs complexes alternating with normal qrs complexes were noted. . eeg : abnormality #1: throughout the recording, there are intermittent bicentral sharp slowing seen independently occasionally followed by a slow wave. abnormality #2: there is increased voltage gradient over the entire left hemisphere with a diffuse mixed theta and delta frequency slowing. there is no clear anterior-posterior voltage gradient on both hemispheres. the background is slow in the hz theta frequency range and disorganized. the superimposed fast activity in the beta frequency range is noted. background: as above. hyperventilation: was not performed due to the patient's clinical condition. intermittent photic stimulation: was not performed because this was a portable study. sleep: normal transitions of the sleep architecture were not seen. cardiac monitor: normal cardiac runs of widespread qrs complexes followed by normal qrs complexes were seen. impression: this is an abnormal portable eeg due to the presence of intermittent, independent, bicentral sharp slowing and sharp slow wave discharges and due to slow and disorganized background rhythms with diffuse theta frequency slowing and increased voltage gradient over the entire left hemisphere. the background slowing suggests cortical/ subcortical dysfunctions and a mild encephalopathy. epileptiform discharges represent most likely cortical dysfunction in central parietal regions. superimposed fast activity is most likely due to medication effect. given the patient's clinical history and eeg findings, eeg monitoring might be of benefit. . ct head : comparison with the prior study of , reveals reduction in the density of the large hemorrhage, but negligible change in its degree of mass effect or surrounding edema. once again, there is considerable compression of the posterior aspect of the body of the left lateral ventricle as well as the atrium. the minimal subfalcine herniation is unaltered. no new area of intracranial hemorrhage is identified. . there is moderate mucosal thickening within the posterior aspect of the left ethmoid sinus, which has evolved since the prior study. the finding likely relates to the intubated status of the patient. . tte : the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild (non-obstructive) focal hypertrophy of the basal septum. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. there is mild to moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the mid antero-septum, distal lv and apex. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. . brief hospital course: pt. was admitted to the neuro icu. was intubated at the outside hospital. bp was initially maintained below 140 with labetalol iv, and repeat imaging showed stability of the hemorrhage. inr was corrected with ffp and proplex. over the first 24 hours, her exam was felt to be out of proportion with findings on ct. however, she did receive narcotics at the osh and was found to have uti on admission both of which could account for a change in neurological status. propofol was weaned and narcotics held. on day 2 she was noted to be much more awake and following commands. she was able to raise left arm and leg anti-gravity and was noted to be moving all four extremities spontaneously (l>r). her mental status continued to improve and she was transferred to the floor . failed multiple bedside swallow exams and was npo with ng in place. . on the floor mental status continued to improve, although pt. failed a repeat bedside swallow evaluation. aspirin was restarted. she finished a 7 day course of levofloxacin for uti. . on had gtc seizure in the early morning hours. witnessed by physician who reported as upper extremities and face involvement. received 2mg iv ativan without any change. after another 1mg ativan converted to rue and face only. gtc portion estimated to have been about 20 minutes. after another 1+1 ativan she gradually slowed the rue movement but facial twitching continued. was loaded with 1 gram iv dilantin and movements ceased after about an hour. vitals were all initially stable with tachycardia, but became hypotensive in post-ictal period. patient received 5mg ativan and 1gram dilantin in total. she was not on seizure prophylaxis up until this point. was not following any commands but withdrew all four extremities to noxious stim. transferred back to icu for hypotension. dilantin discontinued as she had cyanotic fingertips which was presumably as a reaction to the dilantin (purple glove syndrome). was loaded on depakote and maintained with iv doses qid. was following commands at 24 hours although very somnolent. after 48 hours was more awake and near baseline. was transferred back to the floor . . on the floor depakote was continued, and dose titrated up as levels were low. depakote levels should be checked qod at rehab and dose titrated accordingly. pt. worked with pt and ot who recommended acute rehab. she failed another swallow evaluation. her swallowing was discussed several times with her son and hcp, , who felt that he did not want to subject his mother to a peg tube at this juncture, and was hopeful that with more time she would pass a swallow evaluation. we discussed with him that there was a chance that she may not to regain her swallowing abilities, which he understood, but he maintained that he wanted to give her more time before making the decision to proceed with peg. she should continue to be evaluated by speech and swallow at rehab, and if she continues to fail peg tube will need to be readdressed with him. . neuro exam on discharge was significant for diffuse mild l sided weakness ( in all muscles groups), trace movement of r ankle but 0/5 strength of all muscle groups on the right, and some inattention and perseveration, as well as problems following complex commands. . cvs: cardiovascularly ruled out for mi with serial enzymes. no significant events on telemetry. was hypotensive to 80s/50s and initially did not respond to fluid boluses (3 boluses of 500cc ns each). on arrival to icu received additional 500 cc bolus and pressures corrected to acceptable level. pressors not initiated. ruled out again for mi with serial enzymes. had echo (please see results section) which showed mild to moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the mid antero-septum, distal lv and apex, ef 35%. she should have a repeat tte when she is more medically stable to f/u these findings. bp stable for several days with no iv boluses required prior to discharge. . resp: intubated at osh. extubated after 48 hours without complications. heme: inr was initially corrected with ffp and proplex. serial inrs were performed and she required a few additional units of ffp over the first 48 hours. she also received some vitamin k sc. inr was stable at 1.0-1.2 after hod #3. . gi:

bilateral rales up to one-half of the lung fields, with increased dullness. abdominal examination: the patient had a midline scar, left lower quadrant tenderness. the patient's belly was soft, nondistended, with normal bowel sounds. there was no hepatosplenomegaly or mass palpated. guaiac was negative in the emergency department. on extremity examination, the patient had bilateral lower extremity edema that was 2+, trace dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. on neurological examination, the patient was alert and oriented x 3, with cranial nerves ii through xii intact. nonfocal examination. deep tendon reflexes were 2+ bilaterally, with downgoing toes. laboratory data: the patient had a white blood cell count of 11.3, hematocrit of 24.4, and a platelet count of 183. differential revealed 62 neutrophils, 27 lymphs, 8 monos. chem 7 revealed a sodium of 141, potassium of 4.9, chloride of 109, bicarbonate of 14, bun 99, creatinine 5.3, and glucose of 175. the patient's initial ck was 198, with an mb of 5 and a troponin of 1.1. chest x-ray revealed congestive heart failure with right lower lobe atelectasis and small bilateral pleural effusions. a kub revealed stool in the colon. an electrocardiogram was performed in the emergency department, which revealed normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 90, with st depressions that were new and 1 to 2 mm, with t wave inversions in v5 to v6. when the patient arrived on the floor, a second electrocardiogram was done, which revealed bigeminy with a rate of 80s, which went to normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 70s, and depressions laterally. hospital course: this 76-year-old man with multiple cardiac risk factors, originally admitted for abdominal pain, shortness of breath and diaphoresis, was found to have an acute myocardial infarction. 1. cardiovascular. this 76-year-old presented with an acute myocardial infarction. a cardiac catheterization was performed on , and revealed left main and three vessel disease. the patient was referred to cardiothoracic surgery for coronary artery bypass graft. on , the patient received a coronary artery bypass graft x 4 with an saphenous vein graft to the left anterior descending, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal i, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal ii, and saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery. the patient's cardiovascular course postoperatively has been hemodynamically stable. the patient has continued on norvasc, lopressor, captopril and aspirin. the patient has ruled out for acute myocardial infarction postoperatively three times in the setting of desaturations. 2. pulmonary. the patient had been reintubated postoperatively three times. initially the patient had a left chest tube for pleural effusions. a bronchoscopy was performed on , for mucous plugging, and the patient required intubation after that. the patient also had left lower lobe infiltrates two days postoperatively. the gram stain revealed gram-positive cocci and neutrophils. this was treated with quinolones and clindamycin. culture eventually grew oral flora. the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit on , for copious secretions and failure to wean off the ventilator. the patient had been off the ventilator since , with progressively decreased secretions. the patient required frequent suctioning on the floor. he had been saturating 100% on 40% trach mask since . 3. infectious disease. the hospital course was complicated by pneumonia, as mentioned above. bronchial washings eventually grew out acid-fast bacteria and oral flora. infectious disease was consulted and evaluated the patient, placing him on respiratory precautions with repeat acid fast bacilli smears. infectious disease felt that this was unlikely to be tuberculosis, as chest x-rays were not consistent with primary or reactivation tuberculosis. ppd was placed on , and the result was not reported. the patient also had a urinary tract infection that grew yeast on and . the patient was treated with three days of fluconazole. on , the patient was found to have putrid urine, and cultures were sent, revealing greater than 100,000 colonies of enterococcus. infectious disease was consulted, and recommended switching the patient from a ten day course of vancomycin to linezolid 600 mg twice a day. on , the patient was found to have a large increase in his white blood cell count, and a repeat chest x-ray was obtained. this revealed worsening consolidation at the left base. this was suspicious for a left lower lobe pneumonia, and the patient was started on ceftriaxone 1 gram every 24 hours. the patient was discovered to have hepatitis serologies that revealed exposure to hepatitis b, as he had the hbcab found. the patient was positive for havab for hepatitis a. final culture on the patient's urinary tract infection revealed vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. 4. gastrointestinal. the patient had a history of constipation, and an abdominal ct on revealed no diverticulitis, abscess or obstruction. it did note a distended gallbladder, but no thickening. a left adrenal mass was noted. right upper quadrant ultrasound revealed a common bile duct of 9 mm, with no stone or cholecystitis. hida scan was performed, and was read as negative. the patient presented with increased transaminases with question of induced hepatic injury. there was also a question of tpn vs. congestion vs. hepatic steatosis. a negative abdominal ultrasound was done in workup for the patient's increased liver function tests. 5. renal. the patient did not present with anuria. the patient had a left arteriovenous fistula which was not used secondary to low flow. the patient was originally dialyzed through a temporary quinton catheter. catheter infection x 2 in this line was discovered. the patient had a right internal jugular perma-cath placed on , which continues to work well. the patient receives hemodialysis monday, wednesday and friday. 6. nutrition. the patient was provided with jejunostomy tube feedings, and was tolerating three-quarter strength nepro with 60 grams promod at a goal of 45 cc. 7. endocrine. the patient had a history of insulin-requiring, noninsulin-dependent diabetes. the patient was placed on a regular insulin sliding scale. 8. skin. the patient had required aggressive skin care because of a right sacral decubitus ulcer. the patient had chronic areas. the patient was provided with a kainair mattress, waffle boots, and right upper quadrant wound care. 9. neurology. the patient developed what was thought to be delirium related to the long hospital stay and urinary tract infection. neurology was consulted, and a head ct was performed. the head ct was negative. an electroencephalogram was then ordered, which revealed slow disorganized background with bursts of generalized slowing, suggesting a widespread encephalopathy. thyroid studies were performed, and the patient's tsh was 3.1, with a free t4 level of 1.1. the patient had a normal b12 level and folate level. the patient gradually became more alert as his hospital course continued. disposition: the patient was evaluated by multiple rehabilitation hospitals. he will likely be discharged to rehabilitation. condition at discharge: stable. discharge status: the patient will be discharged to rehabilitation. discharge

the pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are intact. the neck examination revealed no lymphadenopathy. the neck is supple. cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm, s1 and s2. lung examination revealed bilateral rales. abdominal examination revealed midline scar, left lower quadrant tenderness. extremity examination - bilaterally 2+ lower extremity edema. neurologic examination - awake, alert and oriented times three. cranial nerves ii through xii are intact. laboratory data: on discharge, white count 12.6, hematocrit 30.1, platelets 286,000. electrolytes revealed sodium 136, potassium 5.4, chloride 100, bicarbonate 16, blood urea nitrogen 88, creatinine 8.3 predialysis on . magnesium 2.6, phosphorus 7.6. video swallow on , shows no evidence of aspiration but mild rescue with all consistencies. this study was obtained prior to tracheostomy placement. prostate ultrasound shows bilateral benign prostatic hypertrophy with no abscess. peripheral zone calcification of uncertain etiology. hida scan on , shows no evidence of acute cholecystitis. last chest x-ray on , shows small bilateral effusions which are stable since . the lateral decubitus bilateral films show no significant layering. abdominal ct on , shows no evidence of diverticulitis or obstruction. appendix is not identified. there is a distended gallbladder with gallstone but no gallbladder thickening. there is a left adrenal soft tissue mass with attenuation not typical for adenoma although statistically probably an adenoma. bilateral pleural effusions. there is enlarged left pectinate muscle, likely a hematoma. there is a small hyperattenuation focus in the bladder, may be a bladder stone or prostate gland. cardiac catheterization on , shows right dominant system with left main and three vessel coronary artery disease. resting hemodynamics reveal normal left and right sided filling pressures with calculated cardiac index of 2.3 liters per minute per meter square. there is no gradient across the aortic valve. microbiology data - last line culture which was positive shows coagulase negative staphylococcus on , with a groin quinton line which was removed. urine culture shows no growth. c. difficile assay is negative. blood cultures are negative. cultures for gonorrhea and chlamydia are negative. bronchoscopy in , shows clean lungs and all segments without any secretions. hospital course: the patient was admitted initially to the medical service for rule out myocardial infarction protocol after his episode of shortness of breath and diaphoresis. his initial evaluation included renal service evaluation for his emanate dialysis and cardiology evaluation for non q wave myocardial infarction. his cardiology evaluation led to a cardiac catheterization recommendation which showed left main disease with three vessel coronary artery disease with normal systolic function. given this, he was referred to the cardiothoracic service for coronary bypass. the patient received a coronary bypass on , with the following grafts: saphenous vein graft to left anterior descending. saphenous vein graft to om1. saphenous vein graft to om2. saphenous vein graft to posterior descending artery. the patient's postoperative course was extensively complicated with multiple issues. he required intubation three times for persistent respiratory failure which eventually required a tracheostomy tube placement. for nutritional support, he received percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. his issues are being summarized by systems in the following section. on discharge, however, he is on ventilator with a tracheostomy, on dialysis with a permacath access and on tube feeds with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. 1. cardiovascular - the patient was taken to the operating room for coronary bypass on , at which time he received a four vessel coronary artery bypass graft. his cardiac performance after the operation throughout hospitalization has remained stable. his rhythm has been in sinus in the 70s with stable blood pressure, being controlled with lopressor, captopril and norvasc. during his respiratory distress episodes, he received rule out myocardial infarction protocol which was negative. on discharge, he is on norvasc, lopressor, captopril and aspirin and is in sinus rhythm. 2. neurological - the patient is reportedly to be alert and oriented prior to his operation, however, there is question of some baseline dementia. after his coronary bypass, he received intubation three times for respiratory distress. at third intubation, he required sedation with ativan while he awaited multiple procedures including tracheostomy, permacath access placement and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. after being weaned from an ativan drip, he is awake and more responsive, more and more every day. on discharge, he is moving all four extremities. he is not on any sedation or pain medication and is communicative by signs. he is not on any neurological medication, however, responds well with ativan, a small dose p.r.n. should sedation be required. 3. renal - the patient presented to the hospital with chronic renal failure requiring likely dialysis. given his high creatinine and almost no urine output, he has been requiring dialysis throughout his hospitalization. his left av fistula which he had prior to his coronary bypass was found to be low flow and tenuous. for his access, he has been dialyzed through temporary quinton catheters throughout the hospitalization, but prior to discharge has received permanent right ij permacath for further dialysis. on discharge, his dialysis catheter is functioning well. he receives dialysis every two to three days per hemodialysis service. specifications are with the hemodialysis team at . his renal medications include nephrocaps, phoslo, epogen and heparin with dialysis. he has been treated with vancomycin renally dosed for his previous quinton catheter line infection. on discharge, he is afebrile. infectious disease - the patient was reintubated postoperative his coronary bypass on day two for presumed respiratory distress. further evaluation showed a left lower lobe infiltrate. initial gram stain showed gram positive cocci and pmns for which he was treated with quinolone and clindamycin for a complete course of pneumonia. cultures were, however, oropharyngeal flora. his pneumonia has resolved which was evident with bronchoscopy performed in early . on discharge, he is afebrile and oxygenating and ventilating well on a ventilator with small bilateral pleural effusions. the patient has also had two episodes of line catheter tips growing coagulase negative staphylococcus, likely staphylococcus epidermidis. for this, he has been treated for ten days of vancomycin dosed renally per routine vancomycin levels. at discharge, he has finished his vancomycin course and is being discharged without any temporary lines and without any antibiotics. gastrointestinal - the patient presented to the hospital with history of constipation and on preoperative films was shown to have stool in the colon. after the coronary bypass, he continued to remain constipated and required a general surgery consultation. abdominal ct showed no intra-abdominal process, however, showed constipation. since then, he has received a clean out with golytely and after that he receives colace through his gastrostomy tube. on discharge, he is having bowel movements at least once every one or two days. there was also a question of gallbladder infection as raised by infection disease, however, further studies showed no evidence of cholecystitis. this was shown with studies including hida scan. hematology - the patient's hematocrit has been fluctuating in the high 20s and 30s requiring approximately three units of blood throughout his postoperative course, all given during dialysis. nutrition - the patient due to his prolonged hospitalization and intubations has had intermittent nutrition for which he received percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. he is at goal on his tube feeds which are nephro with 60 grams of promod at 45 cc per hour. the nephro tube feeds are three quarter strength. he is being followed by nutrition service. he is on prevacid, vitamin c and zinc. diabetes mellitus - the patient's diabetes mellitus has been controlled with sliding scale insulin through his hospitalization. genitourinary - the patient was shown to have some urethral discharge for which he received genital cultures which were negative including negative for gonorrhea and chlamydia. his rpr test was also negative. urology evaluation included a prostate ultrasound which showed prostatic hypertrophy but no abscess or any other malignant process that could be seen. in summary, the patient presented to the hospital with multiple comorbidities including end stage renal disease, poor respiratory function and coronary disease. his evaluation showed three vessel coronary disease with left main disease and required a coronary bypass. postcoronary bypass course has been for respiratory failure which shows poor respiratory compensation for acidosis likely from his end stage renal disease. this has required tracheostomy tube placement for difficulty weaning from a respirator, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement for poor nutrition and required nutritional support and permanent dialysis catheter placement for nonfunctioning left av fistula and persistent hemodialysis needs. on discharge, he is alert and responsive. he is in bed for multiple days. he is on ventilator at pressure support of 10 with cpap at 35% of fio2 with normal arterial blood gases. he is moving all four extremities and has clean, dry and intact incisions. his access includes a right ij permacath. he is being discharged to rehabilitation for ventilator weaning. discharge medications: 1. aspirin 81 mg per gastrostomy tube q.d. 2. norvasc 10 mg per gastrostomy tube q.d. 3. lopressor 25 mg per gastrostomy tube b.i.d. 4. captopril 50 mg per gastrostomy tube t.i.d. 5. phoslo two tablets per gastrostomy tube q.i.d. 6. epogen 12,000 units with dialysis. 7. heparin 5,000 units subcutaneous b.i.d. 8. ativan 0.5 mg intravenous q6hours p.r.n. 9. colace 100 mg per gastrostomy tube b.i.d. 10. nephrocaps one per gastrostomy tube q.d. 11. prevacid elixir 15 mg per gastrostomy tube q.d. 12. vitamin c 50 mg per gastrostomy tube q.d. 13. zinc 220 mg per gastrostomy tube q.d. 14. insulin sliding scale: for 150-200 give three units, 201-250 given six units, 251-300 give nine units, 301-350 give twelve units. 15. albuterol mdi two puffs q4hours p.r.n. 16. tube feeds three quarter strength nephro with 60 grams promod at 45 cc per hour. allergies: no known drug allergies. follow-up: dr. in two to four weeks. follow-up with hemodialysis as required. disposition: to acute rehabilitation. discharge diagnoses: 1. coronary artery bypass graft times four. 2. end stage renal disease on hemodialysis. 3. respiratory failure on ventilator with tracheostomy. 4. percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube for nutrition. 5. noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery Angiocardiography of left heart structures Left heart cardiac catheterization Coronary arteriography using a single catheter Insertion of endotracheal tube (Aorto)coronary bypass of four or more coronary arteries Venous catheterization for renal dialysis Temporary tracheostomy Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Urinary tract infection, site not specified Congestive heart failure, unspecified Acute respiratory failure Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other vascular device, implant, and graft Diabetes with renal manifestations, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled

benzos, no barbiturates, no tricycles. urine tox was positive for amphetamines, otherwise negative. abg #1 was 7.35, 36, 250. patient was put on imv with settings of 500, 14, 100% fio2 and 5 of peep. chest x-ray showed initially mild interstitial edema at 10:00 a.m. and at 4:10 p.m. showed worsening chf and interval placement of a right ij sheath. head ct showed no evidence of acute bleeding or intracerebral hemorrhage. chest ct showed no evidence of pulmonary embolism, patchy bilateral opacities. ekg taken from strips from the emts showed complete heart block with slow junctional escape, then sinus, then v-fib, after shocking back to sinus. ekg on arrival showed sinus tachycardia with normal axis. echocardiogram showed global hypokinesis with severely depressed lvef. left atrium was normal in size. left ventricle mildly dilated. right ventricle normal in size. right ventricular systolic function was somewhat depressed, 1+ mr, no pericardial effusion. the patient was taken to the cardiac catheterization lab where pa cath showed ra mean of 19, rv of 49/12, pa of 43/28, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 30 to 31, pa sat of 57%, cardiac index of 1.7. patient was placed on dopamine in the cath lab. neo-synephrine was weaned off and an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed. left sided catheterization showed a right dominant system with normal coronary arteries. impression: the patient is a 19 year old female status post v-fib arrest now in normal sinus rhythm in cardiogenic shock with nonischemic cardiomyopathy of unclear etiology and arrhythmia of unclear etiology. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular. coronaries. there was no evidence of ischemia during initial evaluation and cardiac catheterization showed no evidence of lesions in the coronary arteries. pump. initially the patient was found to be in cardiogenic shock requiring intra-aortic balloon pump and pressors including dopamine and dobutamine with global hypokinesis and ef estimated to be about 20% with depressed cardiac output and cardiac index. on dopamine and dobutamine were slowly weaned. repeat echocardiogram was performed which showed no significant interval change from echocardiogram done on admission. patient's cardiac output and index remained stable off the pressors. the intra-aortic balloon pump was discontinued on . pressures continued to be consistently with mean arterial pressures greater than 70. patient was gradually diuresed with iv lasix and over the course of the next three days achieved a euvolemic volume status. rhythm. the patient was started on an iv amiodarone drip as prophylaxis against further episodes of ventricular fibrillation. after two days there were no episodes of significant ectopy and amiodarone was discontinued and then changed to p.o. amiodarone. from onward patient was no longer having episodes of hypotension, no longer requiring pressors and no longer needed arterial line or pa catheter monitoring and these were discontinued. at this time it is still unclear what the etiology of the cardiomyopathy is. possibilities include viral myocarditis as well as the possibility of drug (ephedrine) induced myopathy. 2. pulmonary. the patient was initially intubated for hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to cardiac arrest. was maintained on a propofol drip for adequate sedation while intubated as patient was often fighting the vent when off sedation. settings were kept on assist control with several episodes of acute desaturation whenever patient was moved. the pulmonary service was consulted and recommended decreasing the tidal volume as well as the fio2 as well as further diuresis, all of which were done. by fio2 had been weaned down to 40% and assist control was changed over to pressure support of 15 and peep of 7.5 with continued adequate oxygenation as well as ventilation. sedation was gradually titrated down and patient continued to have adequate tidal volumes on pressure support. chest x-ray on , showed evidence of left lower lobe opacity consistent with atelectasis. post suctioning and repositioning as well as aggressive chest p.t., these chest x-ray findings resolved and there were no further episodes of desaturation. from the pulmonary edema standpoint patient was started on captopril for afterload reduction which she tolerated well and captopril was increased gradually to 37.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. she continued to have adequate oxygenation and ventilation and no further evidence of pulmonary edema. on she began to develop increasing stridor as well as copious secretions which were becoming more profound. pulmonary consult recommended a tracheostomy which was performed on , by interventional pulmonology. after tracheostomy placement, trials of mask ventilation through the tracheostomy allowed adequate tidal volumes as well as oxygenation and ventilation with simv as backup at night. 3. infectious disease. on initial presentation to the cardiac intensive care unit patient was noted to have a fever of 102.8. blood cultures were sent as well as chest x-ray and urinalysis, none of which grew any bacteria. there was no evidence of infiltrates and no evidence of a urinary infection. antibiotics were started with vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl for broad spectrum coverage for possible seeding from line placement in the emergency department. patient continued to be febrile for several days, then running a low grade temperature of about 100 to 100.4 throughout her hospital stay with no further spiking fever. antibiotics were discontinued on day seven. there was no further evidence of bacterial infection with negative blood cultures on repeated occasions as well as negative urinalysis. patient was noted to have some conjunctivitis on the second day of her hospital stay. viral cultures were sent from swabs from the eye and showed no evidence of any viral growth. 4. neuro. the patient suffered a significant amount of hypoperfusion and anoxic brain injury due to the cardiac arrest. for the first four days she was on propofol sedation and neurological status was somewhat difficult to assess. however, after propofol was discontinued, there was very little evidence of purposeful movement, very little withdrawal to pain and patient was not able to follow commands consistently. at times she was noted to have dilated pupils and gaze deviation which resolved on their own. eeg was performed, the results of which seemed consistent with medication related effect versus toxic metabolic injury. there was no evidence of seizure activity. mri showed diffuse anoxic brain injury with multiple areas of cortical white matter infarcts. head ct showed no evidence of edema. however, on funduscopic exam there was some evidence of papilledema. the head of the bed was elevated, but given the mildness of the increased intracranial pressure there was no indication for using diuresis with mannitol or administration of steroids. neurology service was consulted and felt that the overall prognosis for recovery was minimal given the findings on mri as well as the prognosis post cardiac arrest with 93% chance for permanent disability with only about 7% chance of any significant functional improvement. these findings were conveyed to the family who still are maintaining hopes of eventual recovery. 5. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition. the patient was initially started on tube feeds as well as reglan for promotility and colace and senna for a bowel regimen. on , patient underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement by the gastroenterology service without complications. this will be used for further tube feedings. 6. access. initially the patient had a right internal jugular cordis for central access. this was then resited to a left internal jugular cordis on . central access was then discontinued on , as there was no further need for any central access medications or monitoring. arterial line placed on , was continued until , when a-line monitoring was no longer needed. on , a peripherally inserted central catheter was placed for long term access. further hospital course to be dictated at a later date. ,

confirmation pending. impression: the patient is a 45-year-old hiv positive gentleman with a history of hodgkin's disease in remission, now with a new diagnosis of non-hodgkin's lymphoma by cervical node and renal biopsies, who presented with acute renal failure, likely due to autotumor lysis syndrome, requiring a medical intensive care unit admission and hemodialysis. the patient also had hemoptysis, which appeared to be resolving once he reached the floor. hospital course: 1. hematology/oncology: on , the patient received his first dose of cyclophosphamide and vincristine as well as packed red blood cells for a hematocrit drop to 19. while he was receiving this, he experienced transient chest tightness associated with a cough, which resolved spontaneously after one to two minutes. he finished receiving his chemotherapy and blood at a slower rate. the patient continued to receive methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg intravenous q.d. for several days; this was then changed to p.o. prednisone and slowly tapered off. his allopurinol was continued throughout his hospitalization and raised to a dose of 300 mg p.o. q.d. once his renal function was normal. his tumor lysis laboratory values were followed and improved, as did his uric acid. he had a bump in his white blood cell count after his first day on the floor because he received an extra dose of methylprednisolone by mistake. the patient received a total of four units of packed red blood cells for his hematocrit of 19. it was unclear why his hematocrit had dropped to 19 on this day, since his hemoptysis was decreasing. later on, once a chest ct scan was done showing a renal hematoma, it was thought that this might have been the source secondary to the renal biopsy that was done recently. his stools were guaiac tested and were all negative throughout his hospitalization. a smear was reviewed at the beginning of his stay and no signs consistent with hemolysis, such as schizocytes, were seen. his prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and inr normalized, making consumptive coagulopathy less likely. through the days after chemotherapy, his counts started to trend downward. his calcium acetate was increased to three tablets t.i.d. with meals for an increase in his phosphorus and he was given repletion for a low calcium. his intravenous fluids on were increased to 150 cc/hour of d5w with bicarbonate to alkalinize his urine. on , a urinalysis showed large blood in the urine but no red blood cells, so it was decided to check a ck to look for myoglobinuria. his ck was found to be elevated at 4820. this was thought to be secondary either to lymphoma infiltrating muscle or liver and it was decided to do a gallium study for further staging. a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration were done on , revealing negative cultures but findings consistent with non-hodgkin's lymphoma infiltrating the bone marrow. on , the patient tripped and fell and banged his head. his platelet count was 50,000 that day, so a head ct scan was done showing no bleed. his liver function tests were elevated on with an alt of 125, ast of 308 and alkaline phosphatase of 124, suggesting possible liver etiology to his increased ck. on , he was started on neupogen subcutaneously for a low white blood cell count status post chemotherapy. on , dr. returned from vacation and saw the patient, having not seen him since the medical intensive care unit. it was decided that the patient would need six cycles of chop chemotherapy. he may substitute the doxorubicin with daunoxome because it is less cardiotoxic and the patient has already received abvd for hodgkin's disease in the past. because of bone marrow involvement, the patient will need intrathecal therapy with ara-c times four treatments. it was decided that allopurinol should stay for ten days post chemotherapy and that g-csf should be given for at least ten days to increase his counts. he has an appointment with dr. to begin chemotherapy on at 3 pm. on , the patient was transfused two units of packed red blood cells for a hematocrit of 26 in preparation for discharge. 2. renal/fluid, electrolytes and nutrition: the patient's renal function continued to improve throughout his hospitalization stay. on the day after transfer to the floor, the creatinine was 2 and the sodium and potassium were stable. aggressive intravenous fluids were continued with d5w and three ampules of bicarbonate. the patient was continued on calcium acetate and nephrocaps. his foley catheter was discontinued on . the renal team continued to follow the patient while on the floor. his nephrocaps were discontinued and changed to a multivitamin with trace minerals because the patient was no longer on hemodialysis. his calcium, magnesium and potassium were occasionally low and these were repeated as necessary. his elevated ck was thought not to be due to rhabdomyolysis since it was normal on admission and it would need a much higher level if it was rhabdomyolysis. other possibilities for its etiology include the renal biopsy going through a muscle or lymphoma infiltrating muscle or liver. it was fractionated on with a normal mb and an electrocardiogram was done, which was unchanged. the troponin was less than 0.3. myoglobulinuria was negative, again confirming the unlikelihood of rhabdomyolysis. his renal function continued to improve. on , the patient's creatinine was 1.1. a chest x-ray on revealed a subscapular left kidney hematoma on ct scan, probably secondary to his renal biopsy and this would explain the drop of hematocrit to 19 on the day that he was transferred to the floor. his renal function continued to improve with a creatinine of 0.6 on . intravenous fluids were discontinued on . the patient's ck continued to remain high, going as high as approximately 7000 during this admission. at this time, this seems to be slowly trending down with the ck on of 5228. it has not seemed to cause the patient any problems such as muscle spasms or pain. 3. infectious disease: the patient was afebrile on transfer to the floor. his chest x-ray after reaching the floor was much improved as compared with the last one showing resolved pneumonia. he was continued on levaquin for a total of ten days and this was discontinued on . three acid fast bacilli smears were negative, so precautions were discontinued. his oral thrush was treated with nystatin swish and swallow and peridex. his levaquin dose was increased to 500 mg p.o. q.d. as his renal function improved. on , bactrim ss one p.o. q.d. for pneumocystis carinii pneumonia prophylaxis was started. on , an infectious disease consultation was requested because of the growth of herpes simplex virus i on culture of his bronchoscopy aspiration on . the lungs did sound congested and wheezy that day. their initial impression was that he clinically looked well and that the herpes simplex virus i was most likely a contaminant. on , the patient was restarted on his antiretroviral therapy. this was held off for the first few days because of his nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, but once this resolved he was restarted. on , the patient spiked a fever in the evening and he was started on ceftazidime intravenously. there was no change on chest x-ray and his blood cultures and urine cultures were negative. the source of this temperature was unclear. also had recurrence of his hemoptysis and it was decided, with the infectious disease team's input and approval, to start the patient on intravenous acyclovir. his stools were negative for cryptosporidium, giardia, isospora and microsporidium as well as being negative for clostridium difficile twice. acyclovir was started at 350 mg intravenous every eight hours. this is also bone marrow depressing, so we will watch his counts as he is on acyclovir. his repeat sputum culture was negative for fungus, but viral cultures were showing herpes simplex virus-like effects again. the patient had been neutropenic in the last few days and this was likely secondary to the chemotherapy, plus or minus the effect of the acyclovir. however on , his counts seem to be coming up with the help of neupogen. the plan is to complete a ten day course of acyclovir for herpes simplex i. we will switch to p.o. on discharge. the question remains as to whether to continue him on ceftazidime, which is an intravenous medication for his neutropenia, until his absolute neutrophil count is greater than 500 and he is afebrile. when the patient was first transferred to the floor on , his hemoptysis seemed to be resolving. he required oxygen by nasal cannula for only a couple of days and then was on room air doing well. occasionally, he experienced some wheezing and he was started on albuterol metered dose inhaler and albuterol and atrovent nebulizer p.r.n. the hemoptysis was dark brown in coloration, but improving. he was continued on levaquin for a total of ten days to treat his pneumonia. on the evening of , the patient had increased congestion, cough and wheezing at night with a slight decrease in his oxygen saturation. he received two nebulizer treatments. a chest x-ray showed increased vascularity, so intravenous fluids were decreased a little bit to 100 cc/hour instead of 150 cc/hour. on , the patient had recurrent bright red hemoptysis and a pulmonary consultation was requested with a repeat chest ct scan ordered to see if there was any source for this recurrent hemoptysis. he was no longer coagulopathic at this point. the pulmonary service thought that his hemoptysis was most likely due to an infectious etiology, possibly herpes simplex virus versus pneumonia. other possibilities included post extubation versus anti-gbm versus vasculitis. however, the patient refused a repeat bronchoscopy on because he wanted to let his body heal. he did feel clinically improved on the following day. albuterol metered dose inhaler was changed to a standing dose of q.i.d. his chest ct scan showed some pulmonary nodules, possibly consistent with lymphoma, and some right upper lobe ground-glass opacities, possibly consistent with infection. the patient was started on acyclovir as noted above. it would be a good idea to repeat the chest ct scan after the acyclovir treatment is done to look for any resolution. his hemoptysis did continue to improve after the exacerbation. he did have recurrent hiccups throughout his hospitalization stay with thorazine being given every day and raised to 50 mg t.i.d. on . on , the patient was given baclofen for his hiccups, which seemed to work more effectively than the thorazine, so he might consider either one of these as an outpatient if his hiccups do continue. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient had diarrhea at the beginning of his floor stay. he was sent for cultures, ova and parasites and clostridium difficile and these were all negative. he did have some nausea, which was treated with compazine b.i.d., compazine p.r.n. and ativan. this resolved s his diet increased. he advanced his diet to regular with a good appetite throughout his stay on the floor. disposition: the plan is for the patient to receive his gallium scan today, , in and then to be transferred to . he has a follow up appointment with dr. on , which is a tuesday, at 3 pm to receive his first cycle of chop.

accunet distal embolic protection. 6. self-limited, brief myotoclonus event. comments: 1. limited coronary angiography demonstrated a right dominant system with left main and severe native vessel disease. the lmca had an ostial 60% lesion. the proximal and midvessel lad had diffuse calcific disease. the distal lad filled via a lima which was not selectively engaged. the d1 branch was totally occluded. the lcx had mild diffuse disease. the rca and bypass grafts were not successfully engaged. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed a central blood pressure of 132/57 mmhg and a left cfa pressure of 101/67 mmhg. the mean gradient was 3 mmhg. 3. retrograde access of the left common femoral artery was obtained for selective carotid, vertebral, and coronary angiography. the thoracic aorta had a type i arch. the bilateral subclavian arteries had mild proximal disease. the left subclavian artery had a 50% lesion in the origin with a peak to peak gradient of 20 mmhg. 4. the right vertebral artery was small and diminutive with a total occlusion at the base of the skull before entering the brain. the left vertebral artery was large and was noted to have a 60% origin lesion and

system. the rca was not injected. the svgs and the lima were not injected. the lmca had a 60% ostial stenosis. the proximal lad 80% calcific stenosis. the distal lad was filling via a lima (there was competitive flow). the d1 had a 80% calcific stenosis at the origin. the lcx had mild diffuise disease. 2. unsuccessful attempt at ptca/stenting of the d1 due to inability to cross despite using multiple wires. rotational atherectomy was performed in the lad in an attempt to modify the lad lesion and allow crossing inro the d1 (see ptca comments). carotid series : reason: known carotid atherosclerosis, pre-op for stenting. findings: duplex evaluation was performed of both carotid arteries. significant plaque was identified on the right. there is no flow in internal carotid artery including power doppler technique. of note there is no study for comparison. on the left, significant mostly soft appearing homogeneous plaque is identified in the internal carotid artery. of note it appears to extend fairly distally in the cervical internal carotid artery. on the right, peak systolic velocities are 52, 72 in the cca, eca respectively. on the left, in the internal carotid artery the peak systolic over diastolic velocity is 361/123. in the remainder of the vessel the peak systolic velocities are 54, 584 in the cca, eca respectively. the ica-cca ratio is 6. this is consistent with an 80-99% stenosis. 05:48pm glucose-97 urea n-18 creat-1.2 sodium-143 potassium-4.0 chloride-105 total co2-28 anion gap-14 05:48pm alt(sgpt)-32 ast(sgot)-29 ck(cpk)-168 05:48pm calcium-9.3

history of present illness: the patient is an 80-year-old male who fell down a flight of about approximately 10 stairs. he was able to press his lifeline and was found by ems at the bottom of the stairs. the patient was intubated at the scene by ems and had a head ct on arrival that was positive for right subdural hematoma with minimal mass effect. he did have significant facial trauma with severe epistaxis and multiple facial fractures. hospital course: the hospital course was complicated by prolonged intensive care unit stay, rapid atrial fibrillation and acute renal failure. a peg and trach was done and the trach was complicated by an asystolic arrest. the patient was seen by both the neurosurgical service, renal service, as well as the cardiology service. the patient's atrial fibrillation was eventually rate controlled with diltiazem. his renal function range during his hospital course rose from a low of 2.1 to a high of about 3.4. his hospital course was further complicated by respiratory failure and inability to wean from the vent. the patient did tolerate trach collar for a short course, however, secondary to left lower lobe collapse and decreasing two sets required to be put back on cpap. the patient was also noted throughout the course of his admission to have guaiac positive stools. he was also seen by gastrointestinal who declined any intervention at this time. he is on protonix 40 mg per g-tube q.d. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass graft x4 and myocardial infarction 2. chronic atrial fibrillation 3. diabetes mellitus with retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy 4. transient ischemic attack, status post cea 5. history of falls, status post pacer past surgical history: 1. status post coronary artery bypass graft 2. status post pacemaker 3. status post cea allergies: the patient has an allergy to penicillin. the patient is being discharged to rehabilitation. on discharge, he is stable. he is afebrile. his blood pressure ranges from 110 to 120 systolic. he is weight controlled in the 60s to 70s. he is on cpap with an fio2 of 40% and pressure support of 5 and a peep of 5. he has received two doses of ddavp for uremic platelet dysfunction. on exam, he is alert and follows commands. his pupils equal, round and reactive to light. his heart is irregular with a 3 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur. he has coarse breath sounds bilaterally. his abdomen is soft, nontender and he has 2+ upper extremity edema and 1+ lower extremity edema. discharge medications: 1. diltiazem 45 mg per j-tube q8h 2. vitamin c 500 mg per g-tube q.d. 3. zinc 220 mg per g-tube q.d. 4. kaltostat to right knee, right upper extremity, right lower extremity and left thigh areas with tegaderm changed b.i.d. 5. normal saline dressing to chin b.i.d. 6. mvi 1 cap per g-tube q.d. 7. lasix 100 mg per g-tube q8h 8. protonix 40 mg per g-tube q.d. 9. epogen 5000 units subcutaneous monday, wednesday, friday 10. haldol 2 mg per g-tube q hs prn 11. nph 12 units subcutaneous b.i.d. 12. regular insulin sliding scale 0 to 180 nothing, 181 to 220 2 units, 221 to 250 4 units, 251 to 300 6 units, 301 to 350 8 units, greater than 850 m.d. 13. heparin 5000 units subcutaneous b.i.d. the patient's bun and creatinine have been slightly rising in the last few days and will need them rechecked in two days. his urine output needs to be followed closely and his lasix adjusted accordingly. he does receive nepro tube feeds 0.75 strength of 50 cc per hour. he does have a c-collar on that is on for week five of six. the c-collar may be discontinued in one week. he does require suctioning and chest pt. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Temporary tracheostomy Percutaneous (endoscopic) jejunostomy [PEJ] Diagnoses: Acute posthemorrhagic anemia Acute kidney failure, unspecified Atrial fibrillation Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage V or end stage renal disease Cardiac arrest Accidental fall on or from other stairs or steps Subdural hemorrhage following injury without mention of open intracranial wound, with brief [less than one hour] loss of consciousness Diabetes with renal manifestations, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled
history of present illness: this is an 80-year-old male with multiple medical cardiac problems, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic renal insufficiency, status post coronary artery bypass graft, noninsulin dependent diabetic with retinopathy, neuropathy with a long history of falls, pacer, carotid occlusion, transient ischemic attacks, atrial fibrillation and status post right caa who presented to the emergency room on , status post a fall down 10 stairs with questionable loss of consciousness. the patient pushed his lifeline and was found by ems. the patient was intubated in the field with severe epistaxis upon arrival and questionable 2 units of blood loss in the field. the patient was seen in the trauma bay with severe nasal bleeding, evaluated by anesthesia for tube placement and found to have tube in place with pooling of blood in the posterior pharynx. patient with multiple contusions on his face. the patient was emergently brought to the ct scanner where he was shown to have a small left tentorial hematoma with a moderate sized subdural hematoma with a lower density collection extending over the parietal bone. there was no significant midline shift. he had a bilateral comminuted nasal bone fracture and possible fracture involving the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus. no evidence of cervical spine fracture. the patient was scanned for abdomen and pelvis which showed a 4.3 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm without rupture. there was no intraabdominal or intrathoracic injury. there was a left groin hematoma involving the adductor muscles. the patient's nares were packed in the trauma bay. there was adequate control of bleeding at this time. physical exam on admission: general: the patient was intubated, sedated, multiple facial injuries, hematomas and nasal bleeding, posterior pharyngeal blood pooling. there was no obvious stepoff or deformity or cervical spine or of the head. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: pupils were equal, round and reactive to light. tympanic membranes were clear bilaterally. the trachea was midline. chest: without crepitus, clear, breath sounds bilaterally. abdomen: soft, nontender. extremities: warm and dry with good pulses. the right forearm was with ecchymosis. rectal: negative. admission labs: white blood cell count of 10, hematocrit of 20.3, platelets of 138. coagulation studies were pt of 14.5, ptt of 32.5, inr of 1.4. fibrinogen was 225. urine was negative. chemistry showed a sodium of 139, potassium of 3.9, chloride of 97, bicarbonate of 23, bun of 75, creatinine of 2.6, glucose of 268, initial ck of 110. initial digoxin level was 0.8. imaging: initial imaging as noted above. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the sicu for intracranial bleed, nasal bleed and decreased hematocrit with associated hypotension. the patient had his right nares packed with an inflated foley catheter by ears, nose and throat. clamp traction was removed by ears, nose and throat on the 19th in the a.m. there was minimal oral secretions with drainage at the left nares on this day. the patient was started on clindamycin for the multiple facial fractures. on the 20th, the patient remained intubated and sedated, moving his right arm on the bed with questionable continued left arm weakness, moving both extremities in the bed. on the 20th, the patient's hematocrit was to 28 with platelets at 66 and inr of 1.3. the patient had x-rays of the right shoulder and bilateral knees without evidence of fracture. on the 21st, the patient continued to have no further changes on neurologic exam, continued with thick bloody brown oral secretions. his hematocrit remained stable, finishing his third dose of vitamin k. platelets at this point were at 107. at this point, the patient was weaned off propofol with purposeful movements of all four extremities. there was a weak gag and cough. pupils were 3 mm and reactive to light. the patient was started on intravenous lopressor for occasional rates in the 80s. on the 22nd, the patient was weaned to a pressure support of 15 and peep of 5 with several apneic times. he was placed on full vent support overnight. packing in the right nares remained in place through the 25th. on the 24th, the patient was extubated with difficulty with significant wheezing and inability to clear secretions. the patient was acidotic with hypercarbia. the patient was re-intubated due to difficult ventilation at this time. the patient also had periods of rapid atrial fibrillation at this point that resolved on their own. on the 24th, the patient was started on tube feeds. the patient's mental status throughout this course remained somewhat tenuous with purposeful movements, left greater than right, nodding to questions yes or no, moving both his lower extremities in the bed with attempts to get out of bed. full mental status was not clear. due to continued elevated blood sugars, the patient was started on an insulin drip at 1 unit per hour. there was discussion of another attempt to wean to extubate. on the 27th, the patient was on pressure support of 5, peep of 5, but this was not tolerated with hypercarbia returning. on the 29th, the discussion of trach and peg was raised with the family. the family discussed this issue and on the 30th it was determined that a trach and peg would be done on the 31st. during a bed side trach, the patient began bleeding copious amounts into his trachea with desaturation. the patient desaturated significantly with elevated heart rate and dropping blood pressure until the patient became asystolic approximately one minute. chest compressions were performed with efforts to clear the airway. the patient did receive epinephrine and atropine. the patient was revived and started on an esmolol drip for rate control and neo-synephrine for pressure support. the patient remained in atrial fibrillation with esmolol drip required and then discharged with intravenous lopressor for rate control. on the first, the patient's neurologic status seemed to be similar to pre-tracheostomy with opening eyes spontaneously, grimacing to procedures and nodding yes or no to questions. the patient remained off all antibiotics at this time. during the tracheostomy, the patient was noted to have a left pneumothorax and a left chest tube was placed. the patient's issue at this point continued to be his atrial fibrillation with intravenous lopressor needed for rate control. there was a discussion with cardiology regarding management of chronic atrial fibrillation and question of starting amiodarone. after discussion as to whether a tee would be necessary prior to chemical conversion and discussions with the family, it was felt that a tee would not be prudent at this time and chemical cardioversion with amiodarone would not be performed. rate control would be performed with beta blockers or calcium channel blockers as needed. it was deemed that the patient was not a candidate for anticoagulation for obvious reasons. on the 6th, the patient was converted to p.o. lopressor and remained on a trach collar with q 2 to 4 hour suctioning. it was deemed appropriate to be transferred to the medical surgical floor for continued care. however, on the evening of transfer, the patient returned to rapid atrial fibrillation with continued copious secretions with suctioning and significant nursing care required. therefore, the patient was transferred back to the intensive care unit for rapid atrial fibrillation and nursing care. the patient has remained in the intensive care unit getting q2h suctioning with clear occasionally blood tinged secretions. he was started on a diltiazem drip on his second sicu admission with conversion of intravenous diltiazem to p.o. diltiazem on the 7th without difficulty. he has remained in good rate control on p.o. diltiazem. on the day of dictation, the patient remained stable without continued episodes of atrial fibrillation. discharge medications: 1. heparin subcutaneous 5000 units b.i.d. 2. insulin sliding scale 3. natural tears 4. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q day 5. diltiazem 60 mg p.o. q6h 6.

service: micu history of present illness: the patient is an 80-year-old male with a past medical history significant for diabetes type 2, coronary artery disease, transient ischemic attacks, chronic renal insufficiency, atrial fibrillation, who was transferred to from his acute renal failure and seizure x 4. the patient had been recently admitted to in secondary to a fall which resulted in development of a subdural hematoma. his course was complicated by a difficult bedside tracheostomy with significant bleeding and a pneumothorax. the patient also experienced an episode of asystole at this time, as well as rapid atrial fibrillation was treated with diltiazem and digoxin, and he was discharged to in with a tracheostomy in place. at the rehabilitation hospital, the patient was noted to have gram-negative rods in urine and sputum, and was treated with ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime for a full course. he was also noticed to have an increased tsh, and was started on synthroid. on the first of , the patient was noted to have an episode of tonic/clonic seizures. he was therefore admitted back to the hospital. he was started on dilantin, with a goal of a free dilantin level between 1 and 1.5, to be maintained over six months. an electroencephalogram was checked at that time, which was within normal limits. the patient was also noted to have a left lower lobe infiltrate, and was started on a course of ceftazidime. the patient's pulmonary function improved significantly over the course of the hospital stay, and at the time of discharge, he was tolerating tracheostomy mask trials for approximately two to three hours each afternoon. the patient's atrial fibrillation was well controlled on diltiazem as well as digoxin. the patient had a picc line placed for antibiotic therapy, and was discharged back to rehabilitation on the . at the rehabilitation hospital, the patient continued to improve significantly. according to the patient's family and doctor, the patient's mental status continued to improve to the point where he was able to have short conversations with a passey-muir valve, and appeared to be both alert and oriented. the patient was even to the point of making decisions with his family regarding his medical treatment. however, on , the patient experienced a temperature spike to 102 degrees, and was found to be hypotensive. this was associated in a decrease in mental status, and the patient was thought to be septic, possibly secondary to a picc line infection. over the course of the day, the patient had one episode of bright red blood per rectum, as well as a small drop in his hematocrit, for which he was transfused two units of packed red blood cells. he was also noted to have a bump in his creatinine from his baseline of 1.8 to 2.9, associated with decreased urinary output. sputum cultures from that day grew acinetobacter, and the patient was started on a combination of ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime antibiotic therapy. in addition, stool cultures from that day were positive for c. difficile toxin, and the patient was started on intravenous flagyl as well as intravenous vancomycin. over the course of the next two days, the patient continued to decompensate. his creatinine rose steadily, and the patient developed acute renal failure, which was thought secondary to acute tubular necrosis secondary to hypoperfusion during his septic episode. there was no response in his urinary output to lasix or intravenous hydration. the patient was found to have yeast growing in his urine, and was started on amphotericin b bladder lavages twice a day. the patient's pulmonary function also continued to worsen, and an ultrasound of the chest wall revealed a small left pleural effusion. multiple discussions were held between the patient's doctor and his health care proxy, his daughter, , who made her wishes known that she felt it was very important that the patient remain at and not have to be taken back to the hospital. however, on the evening prior to admission, the patient had four episodes of tonic/clonic seizures and ceased producing any urine. at that point, the daughter felt like it was important that

consolidation which appears stable if not improved compared to his chest x-ray at time of last discharge. pacemaker wires in appropriate positions. right picc line with tip in the superior vena cava. tracheostomy in place. hospital course: the patient is an 81-year-old gentleman with a history of multiple past medical problems, who was transferred from for acute renal failure thought secondary to a hypotensive episode and seizure x 4. 1. pulmonary: the patient was brought in with a tracheostomy in place and on a ventilator. his initial ventilator settings were pressure support, 15 and 5, with tidal volumes of 430, respiratory rate of 15, and fio2 of 40%. his initial arterial blood gas at the time of admission was 7.34/38/87. the patient was thought to be stable from a pulmonary perspective at the time of admission. there was no specific acute new process noted on chest x-ray, and the patient had minimal sputum production at the time of admission. he had been treated empirically with ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin for a possible pulmonary infection. since the patient had been experiencing fevers even on these medications, it was determined that the best course of action would be to stop all antibiotic therapy which had no particular indication and to follow the patient clinically. therefore, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin were discontinued. over the course of the hospital stay, the patient did well from a pulmonary perspective. he continued on pressure support at 15 and 5, and was placed on fimv at night to avoid any apneic episodes. the patient also tolerated tracheostomy mask trials for approximately two to three hours during the course of each day. however, on the 22nd, the patient suddenly experienced acute shortness of breath associated with a decrease in his oxygenation. his fio2 was bumped from 40% to 70%, and his oxygen saturation was maintained. a chest x-ray was obtained, which demonstrated complete white-out of the left lung. the patient underwent a bronchoscopy which revealed a tracheobronchitis, minimal secretions, no evidence of mucous plugging or other endobronchial lesion. the patient was also evaluated by ultrasound to determine the presence and/or size of a pleural effusion. however, ultrasound demonstrated only a very small amount of fluid at the left lung base. a chest x-ray obtained following the bronchoscopy demonstrated significant return of air fields in the left lung, suggesting that the patient had likely had an episode of mucous plugging leading to left lung collapse, which was revealed on a chest x-ray of a white-out. putting the patient back on positive pressure ventilation as well as having a bronchoscopy enabled the patient to expand his left lung. therefore, the patient was started on levofloxacin 250 mg intravenously every 24 hours to treat the underlying infection which prompted this process, and the patient's current tracheostomy mask trials will be discontinued until the patient has cleared the infection and is able to tolerate them once again. at the time of discharge, the patient was stable from a pulmonary perspective. he had good saturations on an fio2 of 40%. he will complete a 14 day course of levofloxacin to treat his underlying pulmonary infection. he is to be returned to with ventilator settings pressure support, 15 and 5, tidal volumes of approximately 400, respiratory rate of approximately 15, and fio2 of 40%. 2. cardiovascular: the patient has a history of atrial fibrillation and is on digoxin therapy. however, the patient was noted to be tachycardic, with heart rates in the upper 90s to low 100s over the course of the admission. therefore, the patient was started on diltiazem, which was titrated up to 45 mg per nasogastric tube three times a day. at this dose, the patient's heart rate was maintained in the 60s, and the patient's blood pressure remained stable over the course of the hospital stay. the patient had no further cardiovascular issues. 3. renal: at the time of admission, the patient had a creatinine of 4.5, which had been trending up over the past three days. the patient's urinary electrolytes suggested this was not a pre-renal pattern, and in addition the patient did not respond to intravenous therapy hydration. a renal ultrasound was obtained to evaluate for a post-obstructive process. there was no evidence of any hydronephrosis, stones, or any obstructing lesion on either side. therefore, it was felt that the patient was most likely experiencing renal failure secondary to an intrinsic renal etiology. his urinary sediment was examined, which was not consistent with any particular renal process. however, discussion with the patient's doctor revealed that urinary sediment obtained from that hospital was consistent with acute tubular necrosis. therefore, it was felt that the patient was experiencing acute renal failure secondary to acute tubular necrosis, which was most likely prompted by his hypotensive episode during his initial sepsis on the 16th. the patient did not have indication for dialysis at the time of admission, however, a long discussion was held with the health care proxy, , regarding the patient's wishes for dialysis, since the patient was unable to respond at this time. the patient's daughter stated that she felt that the patient would not wish to be on dialysis for a long time, however, if it was something that could treat an acute process and could be stopped perhaps further down the road, it might be a treatment that the patient would wish for himself. however, a final decision was not made and will require further discussion with the family. over the course of the hospital stay, the patient's urinary output picked up significantly, and his creatinine began to drop. at the time of discharge, the patient had well over 30 cc of urine output per hour, and his creatinine was continuing to trend downward. 4. infectious disease: at the time of admission, the patient had a questionable presentation of sepsis. he had currently been on four different intravenous antibiotics as well as amphotericin b bladder washings. the patient had received three days of bladder washings, and therefore these were discontinued. the patient's foley was changed, and a urine sample was resent and showed no sign of yeast. the patient had a documented c. difficile toxin positive test at . therefore, the patient's flagyl was continued in an effort to complete a 14 day course to treat this infection. however, the remainder of the patient's antibiotics, including ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, and vancomycin, were discontinued, as there was no clear indication of what they were treating, and it was felt like multiple antibiotics might be contributing to a drug fever. once the antibiotics were discontinued, the patient's fever quickly defervesced, and the patient appeared much better. in addition, the patient's picc was removed, and the tip was cultured, which showed no growth. a urethral swab was obtained at the time of admission, also demonstrating no growth at the time of discharge. the patient remained well, however, on the fourth hospital day, developed a decreasing saturation associated with an increased oxygen need. bronchoscopy at that time revealed a tracheobronchitis and an x-ray revealed an increase in the left lower lobe consolidation. therefore, the patient was started on levofloxacin 250 mg intravenously every 24 hours in an attempt to treat a tracheobronchitis vs. pneumonia. the patient is to complete a 14 day course of this therapy. over the course of the hospital stay, the patient's white blood cell count increased mildly in association with his increased need for oxygen. however, the patient remained afebrile over the course of the hospital stay. 5. neurological: the patient developed seizures diagnosed ni the past month secondary to the developed of left subdural hematoma following his fall. at the time of the past discharge, the patient had a therapeutic dilantin level and had demonstrated no seizure activity. however, in the setting of sepsis and acute renal failure, the patient experienced four episodes of seizure prior to admission. following the time of admission, the patient had no further seizure activity. approximately 24 hours after admission, the patient's mental status began to clear, and he returned nearer to his baseline. the patient was loaded with dilantin in the emergency department, and an effort was made to determine why the patient's free dilantin level was low at the time of admission, as well as to determine the appropriate dilantin dose. discussion with neurology and pharmacy revealed that the patient was most likely having poor absorption of his dilantin through the gastrointestinal tract, even though tube feeds were being held before and after the elixir was given. therefore, at the suggestion of pharmacy, the patient was switched from dilantin elixir to dilantin crushed tablets in order to obtain better absorption. in addition, the patient's dilantin dose was increased from 100 three times a day to 150 in the morning, 100 in the afternoon, and 150 mg at night. a free dilantin level is to be checked on the 28th to determine the efficacy of this change in dilantin therapy. 6. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the patient has a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube in place. he was nothing by mouth at the time of admission, but was started on tube feeds when tolerated. he quickly reached his tube feed goal of 75 cc/hour of ultracal tube feeds. the patient remained hemodynamically stable over the course of the hospital stay. his electrolytes were checked on a daily basis and replaced as needed. 7. gastrointestinal: the patient demonstrated an elevated alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin at the time of admission. a right upper quadrant ultrasound was obtained in order to evaluate for cholangitis or other biliary tract disease. gallstones were noted in the gallbladder, and there was some mild thickening of the gallbladder wall, however, no stones were noted to be obstructing the ducts, and there was no ductal dilatation. therefore, it was felt that the elevation in alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin was secondary to the patient's passing a stone, which did not cause an obstruction. the patient's laboratory values were noted to decrease over the course of the hospital stay. the patient had no further gastrointestinal issues. 8. endocrine: the patient has a history of hypothyroidism, and is on synthroid therapy. a tsh and t4 were not checked while the patient was in hospital, as it was felt that his acute illnesses would cloud the appropriateness of the synthroid therapy. therefore, the patient needs to have his tsh and t4 followed up when he returns to . the patient also has a history of diabetes mellitus. he was controlled on finger sticks four times a day and a regular insulin sliding scale. 9. hematology: the patient has a history of anemia of chronic disease. his epogen 5000 units subcutaneously monday, wednesday and friday was continued while the patient was in the hospital. condition at discharge: the patient was discharged to in stable condition. he had a picc line placed at prior to discharge. discharge status: stable. discharge diagnosis:

was demonstrated. proximal to mid difuse diease with serial 75% stenoses with timi 2 slow flow (similar to lad and lcx) demonstrated. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed normal left ventricular filling pressures, with an lvedp of 12 mmhg. there was mild systemic hypertension, with a central aortic pressure of 140/93 mmhg (mean of 113 mmhg.) 3. limited femoral angiography demonstrated mild profunda plaquing iwht arteriotomy stie at the sfa/pf bifurcation. closure device not attempted. final diagnosis: 1. single vessel coronary artery diease, but diffuse slow flow consistent iwth diffuse microvascular dysfunction. 2. in the absence of symptoms and sentiment that vt was not ischemia induced, no intervention performed at this time, with plan for further evaluation of ischemia. 3. normal lv diastolic function. 4. mild systemic hypertension. . echo: the left atrium is moderately dilated. the right atrium is moderately dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-10mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is mild to moderate global left ventricular hypokinesis more prominent inferior wall severe hypokinesis (lvef = 40 %). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is moderately dilated. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: mild left ventricular cavity enlargement with global hypokinesis c/w diffuse process (toxin, metabolic, cannot exclude multivessel cad). dilated thoracic aorta. mild mitral regurgitation. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , the findings are new. . nuclear stress test: no ischemic ecg changes noted and no anginal type symptoms reported with persantine infusion. appropriate hemodynamic response. nuclear report below: 1. probably normal myocardial perfusion. inferior wall defect most consistent with attenuation. 2. increased left ventricular cavity size. moderate systolic dysfunction with global hypokinesis. brief hospital course: 52 year old man with a history of gastric bypass, narcotics dependence, and recent knee replacement who became unresponsive in outside hospital's emergency department secondary to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia following administration of zofran for nausea and vomiting. . # ventricular tachycardia: possible etiologies considered were ischemia, electrolyte abnormalities, medication effects, hypoxia, and metabolic causes. an echo revealed global hypokinesis. although catheterization revealed a narrowing of the rca, nuclear stress test did not show any reversible or nonreversible defects to suggest ischemia or infarction. the medical records, recent and remote past ekgs, and clinical presentation were reviewed, and it was concluded that the patient's hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia in the setting of two qt-prolonging medications contributed to development of vt. all qt-prolonging medications were held, and his electrolytes were repleted. given the risk that the patient's ventricular tachycardia might return, an icd was placed. the patient tolerated the procedure well. at the time of discharge, the patient still required two days of antibiotics to complete his course. . # acute systolic dysfunction according to echo, the patient's ef was 38% with global hypokinesis. the patient showed no evidence of fluid overload and seemed euvolemic upon discharge. the patient was started on 5 mg lisinopril. . # coronary artery disease the patient's catheterization showed 80% rca lesion, and the stress test showed inferior small reversible defect attributed to attenuation. no plans for intervention. the patient will continue on a beta-blocker and aspirin and be started on a statin. . # narcotics dependence/chronic pain: the patient has a history of significant narcotics dependence. he required 2mg iv dilaudid every 2 hours to prevent withdrawal symptoms. he expressed a desire to wean from narcotics and it is likely that an attempt at self-weaning prompted his initial complaints of nausea and vomiting. psychiatry was consulted, and they recommmended continuing current doses of ativan and dilaudid. the patient would also benefit from inpatient detoxification, and the patient agreed. unfortunately, the patient did not have insurance to cover such treatment. instead, he was provided enough medication to last until he could follow up with his primary care physician, intends to perform a slow taper. medications on admission: albuterol nebulizers

diagnosis: ventricular tachycardia/torsades de pointes related to prolonged qt interval narcotic dependence acute systolic dysfunction discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). discharge instructions: you had nausea and vomiting and developed a dangerous rhythm called ventricular tachycardia or torsades de pointes that required a shock to restore a normal rhythm. we were concerned that this could happen again so we implanted an internal cardiac defibrillator (icd) that will shock you again if the rhythm reoccurs. please keep the dressing over the incision site until sunday , you can then take off the gauze dressing, leave the tape strips in place. you can then shower, don't get soap over the incision site. you will return here in 1 week to get the wound checked. you will need to take an antibiotic for 24 hours after you go home to prevent an infection at the icd site. call dr. right away if the icd fires. this feels like a very strong kick in the chest. you should avoid any medicines that make you more prone to ventricular tachycardia, we gave you list of these medicines. other medication changes are: 1. stop taking phenergan, gabapentin, xoma, lunesta, xanaflex, augmentin and tussionex 2. take cephalexin three times a day for 2 days to prevent an infection at the pacer site 3. start taking lisnopril to lower your blood pressure and help your heart pump better 4. start simvastatin to lower your cholesterol 5. take dilaudid 4mg for pain every 4 hours, decrease to 3mg every 4 hours on monday with further decreases per dr. 6. increase lorazepam to 2mg every 6 hours as needed for anxiety with further decreases per dr. . . we found that your heart function was also weaker than it was a year ago. we did not see any evidence of fluid overload here but you should monitor yourself for swelling in the legs, trouble breathing and a bothersome cough. weigh yourself every morning, call dr. if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in 1 day or 5 lbs in 3 days. followup instructions: department: cardiac services when: thursday at 9:30 am with: device

body. otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum brief hospital course: mr. is a 67 yo male with history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, hypertension and multiple myeloma s/p recent chemo. he has a known duodenal ulcer and presented with melena and hypotension (sbp 80's) to an outside hospital. there he was found to have a hematocrit of 22 down from his baseline in the mid 30's. he also complained of chest pain with lateral st depressions noted on ekg that resolved when he received nitroglycerin and 2 units prbcs. . icu course: he was transferred to . on initial evaluation in the emergency room he had a hematocrit of 24 despite the 2 units prbcs from the outside hospital and was noted to be in atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate greater than 100. he was started on a ppi drip and admitted to the icu for further management. while in the icu, his atrial fibrillation was controlled with metoprolol iv and reinstitution of his sotalol. the patient had one further episode of chest tightness that resolved with nitrates as he received an additional 4 units of prbc's with his hematocrit stabalizing in the low 30's. he was ruled out for an mi and remained stable from a cardiac standpoint after that single episode. he had no further melena or guaiac positive stools in the icu and underwent egd on with the results as noted above. on transfer to the hospital floor on , he had a transient episode of hypotension with a pressure of 85/58 when he was transferring from the stretcher to the bed, which was attributed to the patient having restarted his home dose of labetalol on the evening of transfer. his labetalol was subsequently held (until the day of discharge) and his blood pressure stabalized. . # gi bleed: egd: edematous, erythematous antral fold noted c/w inflammation and possibly underlying ulcer; single non-bleeding 2 mm ulcer was found in the stomach body. the patient was treated with a total of 6 units of prbcs with stabalization of his hematocrit. his intravenous pantoprozole was changed to po and the patient's diet was advanced. on the 4th and 5th hospital days following transfer from the icu, the patient had an episode of black tarry stool on each day. in consultation with the gi service, these episodes were felt to be due to old blood from his initital upper gi bleed. his hematocrit and blood pressure remained stable over the course of these two days with no further evidence of new bleeding. . # chest pain: the patient's episode of chest tightness was felt to be demand ischemia related to gi bleed superimposed on atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular response. pain improved with sl nitroglycerin and blood transfusions. his troponins remained flat and he ruled out for an mi. he has been continued on his statin. the hospital course was reviewed with the patient's primary cardiologist and the patient will follow up with him on . . # atrial fibrillation: the patient has paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treated with sotalol and labetalol. his rapid ventricular response at the outside hospital appeared related to hypovolemia and ischemia from his gi bleed. his rate has been controlled with single doses of metoprolol iv when in the icu and reinstitution of his sotalol. he converted to nsr by hospital day 4. on the last hospital day, he has been restarted on a lower dose of his labetalol (in addition to sotalol) to prevent further rapid ventricular response, but his dose is limited by his earlier hypotensive episodes. the patient is anticoagulated with low dose aspirin and aggrenox, but these were held during his gi bleed. he received a single dose of each on the 4th hospital day just prior to having two further guaiac positive, melenic stools. although, the stools are thought to be from old blood and the patient's hematocrit has remained stable, his anticoagulation was discontinued. this has been discussed with his primary cardiologist by phone, and the patient will see him in follow up on to address restarting low dose aspirin and aggrenox. . # multiple myeloma: last chemo with velcade and decadron at . the patient was continued on bactrim and acyclovir prophylaxis and he will follow up with dr. at the on where he will be evaluated and the decision whether or not to proceed with chemotherapy will be made. . # hypertension: he takes numerous antihypertensives at home including amlodipine, tekturna, labetalol, clondine and losartan. these had been held in the setting of his hypotension and gi bleeding and only clonidine and labetalol have been reinstituted at the time of discharge. he will follow up with his cardiologist on and his pcp on to reinstitute these medications as tolerated. medications on admission: aggrenox 200 mg-25 mg

instructions: you were admitted with a bleeding ulcer that required intensive care because your blood pressure was low. you were treated with blood transfusions and a new medicine to decrease your stomach acid production. your anemia and low blood pressure caused you to have chest pain from your heart disease and caused your heart to beat fast from your atrial fibrillation (afib). the blood transfusions and heart medicine helped to stop the chest pain. there are no signs that you had a heart attack. in the setting of your bleeding, your blood thinners for your afib and heart disease were stopped. you will work with your cardiologist to decide the right time to restart your blood thinners. because your blood pressure has been low, we have stopped most of your high blood pressure medicines. do not take your losarten, amlodipine, tekturna (also called aliskiren), or lasix until advised to restart these medications by your doctors. do not take your aggrenox or low dose aspirin. you should avoid taking any aspirin, ibuprofen or drugs containing aspirin or nsaids (motrin or aleve)unless you have asked one of your doctors. you were taking caduet - a combination blood pressure

history of present illness: the patient is a 75-year-old woman with a history of smoking and without other risk factors for coronary artery disease who was transferred for . the patient was in her usual state of health until 1 p.m. on the day of admission when while cooking she experienced a bilateral shoulder ache with radiation to her epigastrium. this was associated with nausea and diaphoresis. she denied shortness of breath or palpitations. at the emergency department, the patient was found to have anterior st elevations in leads v2 through v4 on her electrocardiogram. she was treated with intravenous heparin and nitroglycerin; after which her blood pressure fell from 120/55 to 58/38 which was resolved to a systolic blood pressure in the 80s with dopamine treatment. she was then transferred to the to the coronary care unit. it should also be noted that she was thrombolysed at . the patient denied chest pain on arrival to , and it was unclear as to when the chest pain resolved. past medical history: 1. question of cerebrovascular accident with lacunar infarction. 2. hypertension in the past but not for about six years. social history: the patient has a 100-pack-year smoking history and is still smoking. she denies alcohol or drug use. family history: a sister passed away for a myocardial infarction in her 50s. physical examination on presentation: temperature was 95.8 degrees fahrenheit, her blood pressure was 82/54, her heart rate was 90, and her respiratory rate was 19. general physical examination revealed the patient appeared pale. the lung examination was normal. cardiovascular examination was normal. the extremities were cool but without edema. pertinent radiology/imaging: an electrocardiogram revealed a sinus rhythm at 78 beats per minute with q waves in v1 and v2. there were 1-mm st elevations in v1, and 2-mm st elevations in v2 through v4, and 1-mm st elevations in leads in i and avl. she was also noted later to have an accelerated junctional rhythm with continued st elevations in leads v2 through v4. later on, she had q waves in v1 through v5, i, and avl with continued st elevations in v2 through v5. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: the patient's white blood cell count was 17.6, her hematocrit was 43, and her platelets were 246. creatine kinase was around 3000 with a troponin of 16. brief summary of hospital course by issue/system: 1. st-elevation myocardial infarction issues: the patient was admitted to the coronary care unit and taken initial to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for persistent hypotension on arrival which revealed a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 30. she had a 99% lesion of the left anterior descending artery which was stented, and a 90% lesion to the right coronary artery which was stented, and a 60% lesion in the first obtuse marginal which was stented. there were no acute events after return from the catheterization laboratory. the patient required a blood transfusion of 1 unit of packed red blood cells. she was continued on a heparin drip. she was started on plavix 75 mg by mouth and aspirin. she was also started on captopril, metoprolol, and lipitor. the patient initially returned from the catheterization laboratory with an intra-aortic balloon pump which was discontinued soon after her return to the coronary care unit. the patient returned to the catheterization laboratory two days later for stenting of her right coronary artery and her left circumflex artery. she was hemodynamically stable throughout her cardiac catheterization. it should be noted that on telemetry the patient had some episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and short runs of bigeminy. however, she was without chest pain throughout the entire hospitalization. an echocardiogram done following all the interventions revealed overall left ventricular systolic function was moderately depressed with regional wall motion abnormalities; including akinesis at the apex, anteroseptal, and anterior walls. a small patent foramen ovale was noted to be present. her ejection fraction was 35% to 40%. the patient continued to be heparinized secondary to her low ejection fraction and was initiated on coumadin. the patient was unable to tolerate a beta blocker secondary to a low blood pressure; however, she was continued on aspirin, plavix, lipitor, and lisinopril. given the abnormalities on telemetry, there was a question of whether or not the patient would need implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement in the future. she was to follow up with dr. in one month for an electrophysiology study. 2. hematologic issues: the patient was noted to be anemic during her hospitalization with an unknown etiology. hemolysis laboratories were negative. a computed tomography of the pelvis was negative for bleeding and guaiac was negative. she was to continue to have her hematocrit levels checked -weekly to verify stability and was encouraged to have an outpatient gastroenterology workup. discharge diagnoses: 1. coronary artery disease; status post inferior myocardial infarction. 2. anemia of unknown etiology. major surgical/invasive procedures performed: cardiac catheterization with stent placement on and . medications on discharge: 1. aspirin 325 mg by mouth once per day. 2. plavix 75 mg by mouth once per day. 3. lipitor 10 mg by mouth at hour of sleep. 4. protonix 40 mg by mouth once per day. 5. lisinopril 12.5 mg by mouth once per day. 6. coumadin 5 mg by mouth at hour of sleep (with possible adjustments based on inr). 7. lovenox 40 mg subcutaneously q.12h.

dysphagia: pt with known significant lad compressing the esophagus. this has caused substantial weight loss and is likely contributing significantly to her weakness as she was unable to take po's. gi was consulted for placement of peg tube for initiation of tube feeds. they performed egd however were unable to pass the scope past the upper esophagus due to stricture likely from external source. ir was then called and they placed peg tube under flouroscopy. attempted to start using the peg tube 24 hours after placement with 4 boluses per day of nutritional supplement. with this method pt had residuals of 100 and was requesting use of pump. she was then started on cycling which was adjusted until she was able to tolerate with minimal residuals. she was also started on reglan and erythromycin for enhamced gi motility. pt continued to have problems with nausea and phlegm production. gi was reconsulted in reagrds to possible esophageal stent for comfort measures. pt decided against esophageal stent and patient was discharged home on cycling tube feeds, tolerating it well with reglan. . # pericardial effusion: pt had a small pericardial effusion seen on recent ct scan. she developed progressive sob in the setting of aggressive hydration for her arf due to dehydration. cxr showed small bilateral effusion with pulmonary edema. at this point she was diuresed with minimal effect. her sob and o2 requirement continued to worsen. repeat cxr now showed moderate szized effusion on the left with increase size of silhoutte of heart. pulsus was 15 at this time. she was then sent for echo which demonstrated large pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology. pt was tachycardic but bp stable at this time. cardiology was consulted and patient was sent to the west for urgernt pericardiocentesis. they drained the effusion and performed a balloon pericardiotomy. after the drainiage her heart rate decreased and patient clinicallyy improved however still required o2. after the procedure she was monitored in the ccu for 1 day then on the floors by cardiology for 2 more days. follow up echos showed no evidence of reacculmulation 5 days later. . # volume status: pt was very dry at admission & labs c/w prerenal. rec'd aggressive iv hydration. now with pleural effusion in the setting of pericardial effusion. pleural effusion was present on discharge. disucussed possibility of thoracentesis, pt refused and wanted to go home. . # arf: pt presented with creatinine of 2.8 and bun of 77. her baseline creatinine was 0.8. her fena at this time was <1% and renal failure felt to be secondary to dehydration. she was aggressively hydrated with gradual improvement in her renal function. after several days creatinine had returned to baseline. . #

wall thickening; it did show dilated loops of bowel and no diverticulosis. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the vascular service with a presumptive diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. he underwent an abdomen angiogram on and had angioplasty of his superior mesenteric artery, with decreased abdominal pain. on , the patient was seen by the thoracic surgery service because he had been previously noted to have a left upper lobe lesion by chest x-ray in . a ct scan revealed a t2n2 left upper lobe lesion and possible right rib metastases on recent bone scan. thoracic surgery recommended consulting medical oncology. on , the patient complained of increasing abdominal pain and was found to have evidence of obstruction. he underwent an by dr. on , with pathology results confirming a carcinoid tumor. on postoperative days two through four, the patient was noted to be doing well, with an oxygen saturation of 99% on three liters nasal cannula. however, some rales were noted on examination. on , the patient was noted to have an increased respiratory rate to 30 and rales on examination, which was treated with albuterol nebulizers with some relief. a chest x-ray

history of present illness: a 78-year-old gentleman, followed by dr. , who has been having several months of substernal chest pain and shortness of breath, usually relieved with sublingual nitroglycerin. recently, the pain has increased to weekly and currently almost daily. the pain is with exertion, but not at rest, and is always relieved with one sublingual nitroglycerin. he has no complaints of orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or lightheadedness. he underwent a cardiac catheterization on which demonstrated severe three-vessel disease, a 70% lesion in the lad, a 100% occlusion of the left circumflex, and a 100% occlusion of the rca; ejection fraction was 47%. the patient was booked for the or on for coronary artery bypass grafting. past medical history: 1) insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, 2) coronary artery disease, status post mi in , 3) hypertension, 4) hyperlipidemia, 5) former smoker, 6) status post right inguinal herniorrhaphy. meds at admission: 1) nph insulin 24 u in the morning, 14 u in the evening, 2) regular insulin 14 u in the morning, 12 u in the evening, 3) lopressor 50 mg po bid, 4) zestril 80 mg po qd, 5) benicar 40 mg po qd, 6) avandia 4 mg po qd, 7) zocor 80 mg po q pm, 8) flomax 0.4 mg po bid, 9) imdur 30 mg po qd, 10) hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg po qd, 11) proscar 5 mg po q pm, 12) aspirin 325 mg po qd. allergies: no known allergies except to shellfish. exam at admission: this was a moderately obese gentleman in no acute distress. his neck was supple without lymphadenopathy. he had no bruits. his chest was clear. his heart had a regular rate and rhythm without murmurs. his belly was soft, nondistended, nontender. extremities were warm and well-perfused with mild pedal edema. brief hospital course: the patient was brought to the operating room on and underwent a four-vessel cabg with lima to lad, saphenous vein graft to the om-1, to the pd and the diagonal. he did very well in the or and was weaned and extubated postoperatively in the csru. his urine output was adequate, and his blood sugars were elevated, and an insulin drip was started. he was otherwise alert and oriented, moving all of his extremities, with somewhat labile blood pressure. he was a-paced with a heart rate of 80 with an underlying rhythm of 40s in sinus brady. he continued to require a nitroglycerin drip to maintain his blood pressures adequately low. by postop day #1, the patient was doing well. the nitroglycerin was weaned off. he was delined and transferred to far-2. on the floor, he was doing well until postoperative day #3, when he complained of sudden onset of chest pain in the lower sternal area. on examination, he was found to have a sternal click with some scant serous drainage from the lower part of the incision. he was placed on sternal precautions, and his pain was controlled, and serial exams were performed throughout the day. throughout the course of the day, he continued to develop worsening wheezing despite nebulizer treatments. the decision was ultimately made to take the patient back to the or for reclosing of his sternal dehiscence which was carried out on . the patient tolerated the procedure well and came out on low-dose of neo-synephrine. he remained intubated, and a chest tube had to be inserted when his postoperative x-ray demonstrated a large effusion on the left. his vent was weaned, and his nitroglycerin drip was dc'd, and the patient was extubated on postop day #2 without complication. he had been empirically started on levofloxacin and vancomycin while we waited for the cultures to come back. all intraoperative cultures were negative. the patient was started on his oral cardiac meds. he was fed a diet. his insulin schedule was restarted while the insulin drip was weaned off. his sternal wound had a constant infusion of 1% betadine. by postop day #4, the patient was still having periods where he was requiring a nitroglycerin drip, despite being treated with hydralazine, lisinopril, lopressor and lasix. we changed his lopressor to atenolol po which is what he was taking preoperatively, and this seemed to have a better effect with him. his chest tubes and foley were discontinued on postop day #4. his subsequent icu course was notable for marginal respiratory status. on postop day #5, the patient was noted to have an unstable sternum with drainage from the sternal wound, nonpurulent in nature. his white count which had been elevated prior was on its way down, however; and, the patient had remained afebrile. the decision was made to observe with serial exams before deciding if the patient needed to go to the operating room. fortunately, over the next several days, the patient remained afebrile, his white count continued to decline, and he was improving. his cultures ultimately grew out mrsa from the sputum, but everything else had been negative. vancomycin was continued. on postop day #9, he was doing well. he was off all drips, oral lopressor. his respiratory status was good, and he was transferred to the floor where he had a relatively uneventful course with the exception of a few episodes of atrial fibrillation for which he was started on amiodarone. these episodes of paf all occurred within the same 48-hour period, and he has been in sinus ever since achieving adequate levels of amiodarone. the incision stopped draining fluid on postop day #15, although he still had a small click. white count and creatinine continued to normalize, and a picc was placed for iv vancomycin and levofloxacin. physical therapy had seen the patient and recommended that he be discharged to rehab when he was medically cleared. on postoperative day #16, his respiratory status was somewhat worsened, and a chest x-ray was obtained which demonstrated a left effusion that had been increasing in size. placement of a cook catheter in the left chest was attempted unsuccessfully, and a 28 french chest tube was placed in instead which was successful in draining approximately 100 cc of serosanguineous fluid immediately, followed by approximately 200 since insertion. his chest x-ray and his respiratory status improved, and the chest tube was removed approximately 48 hours later. he continued to do well, be maintained on oral medications, but was still unable to ambulate very well. the patient is being discharged to a rehab facility on in stable condition. discharge diagnoses: 1) coronary artery disease. 2) new onset atrial fibrillation. 3) status post coronary artery bypass graft x 4. discharge examination: neck was supple without lymphadenopathy or bruits. his chest was clear anteriorly with diminished breath sounds at the bases. his heart had a regular rhythm and rate. his abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended. his incisions were all clean, dry and intact. he had 1+ pedal edema. his extremities were warm and well-perfused. discharge medications: 1) tamsulosin 0.4 mg q hs, 2) finasteride 5 mg po qd, 3) simvastatin 80 mg po q hs, 4) rosiglitazone 4 mg po qd, 5) percocet 1-2 tabs po q 3-4 h prn, 6) ipratropium bromide 0.2 mg/ml solution 1 neb inhalation q 6 h prn wheezing, 7) colace 100 mg po bid, 8) potassium chloride tablets 20 meq po bid for 5 days, 9) lasix 40 mg po bid for 5 days, 10) zantac 150 mg po qd, 11) aspirin 325 mg po qd, 12) guaifenesin codeine cough syrup ml po q 6 h as needed, 13) insulin 24 u nph, 14 u regular subcu q am, 14) insulin 14 u of nph, 12 u of regular subcutaneous q pm, 15) heparin 5,000 u subcu , 16) lopressor 75 mg po bid, 17) amiodarone 400 mg po tid x 1 week, then 400 mg po bid x 2 weeks, then 400 mg qd x 2 weeks, then 200 mg thereafter. the patient is to see dr. in 2 weeks. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified (Aorto)coronary bypass of three coronary arteries Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery Other repair of chest wall Local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum] Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Unspecified pleural effusion Unspecified essential hypertension Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled Atrial fibrillation Other and unspecified angina pectoris Other specified surgical operations and procedures causing abnormal patient reaction, or later complication, without mention of misadventure at time of operation Old myocardial infarction Disruption of external operation (surgical) wound

the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (ejection fraction 40-50 percent) secondary to severe hypokinesis of the posterior and lateral walls. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3)

there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , posterior and lateral hypokinesis now present. . imaging: ct chest, w&w/o contrast (): there is a 4.8 x 2.8 cm consolidative opacity within the left upper lobe with surrounding nodularity and ground-glass opacity, as described above. the differential for this includes a consolidative pneumonic process, though given the patient's history of hiv, atypical organisms such as aspergillus or tb should also be considered. neoplasm is also on the differential, and followup evaluation should be obtained after treatment to evaluate for resolution. . mr head with gado/adc (): signal abnormalities in the right temporal and occipital lobes, likely represent either evolving acute brain ischemia, an infiltrative process such as lymphoma, or inflammatory process. . sinus rhythm. severe right axis deviation *** lateral infarct - possibly acute *** tall r waves in lead v1, v2 - consider posterior

multinucleated cells (e.g. hiv encephalitis changes) identified. scattered gram-positive cocci isolated and in pairs, not directly associated with microglial nodules. note: this brain biopsy includes neocortex and a small amount of underlying subcortical white matter. it is largely normal. several small microglial nodules are present at the -white junction in the several levels prepared from the tissue. microglia are increased near the nodules. the nodules lack multinucleated cells that would be diagnostic for hiv encephalitis. they also lack diagnostic viral inclusions (including the inclusions of pml), giant cells, or toxoplasma organisms. the acid fast stain is negative for bacilli and the gms silver stain lacks fungi or yeast forms. the tissue gram stain shows infrequent gram-positive cocci scattered over the tissue, sometimes near sites of pathology and sometimes in otherwise normal brain. while the lack of secondary tissue changes to many of these organisms suggests they may be a staining contaminant, the culture prepared from this same brain tissue did grow rare coagulase negative staphylococcus. clinical correlation is advised. based on the h&e and lack of staining in afb and gms stains, the main differential diagnoses for the microglial nodules at the -white junction would be hiv encephalitis and treated toxoplasmosis. additional stains are pending for other viruses. the results will be issued in an addendum. . brief hospital course: pt is a 43yo male with history of hiv, pcp pneumonia, seizures who was found to have a brain mass. the pt initially presented to the ed with complaints of chest pain, underwent a cardiac workup which revealed a postero-lateral stemi. the pt underwent a cardiac catheterization with poba to left circumflex. he was transferred to the medicine team for evaluation of the brain mass. the pt underwent a brain biopsy which revealed no evidence of lymphoma or focal infection. the brain biopsy was significant for some gram positive cocci which were thought to be a contaminant. the pt was recommended close follow-up with his primary care provider and neurology for results of pending studies. . cardiac: ischemia the pt has no known past cardiac history. he presented with acute onset chest pain and was noted to have inferolateral st elevations with a ck peak of 5864, mb>500 and troponin-t of 9.83. he was immediately referred to the cardiac catherization lab. his cardiac cath revealed a right dominant circulation with two vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca was without flow limiting disease. the lad had an ulcerated lesion in the mid segment with 70% stenosis and timi 3 flow. the d1 was totally occluded. the lcx had a proximal 40% stenosis and the distal segment had an ulcerated thrombotic stenosis with timi 2 flow after om3. resting hemodynamics demonstrated mildly elevated right heart filling pressure and moderately elevated left heart filling pressure (rvedp 15 mmhg, lvedp 26 mmhg, mean pcwp 20 mmhg). there was mild to moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension. the calculated co was 4.7 l/min with a ci of 2.9. left ventriculography demonstrated anterolateral and inferoapical hypokinesis. the calculated ef was 45%. the distal cx thrombotic lesion was angioplastied using a maverick and a voyager balloon with lesion reduction from 95% to 10%. the final angiogram showed timi iii flow with no dissection but embolization in a small branch of the om. no stents placed given brain lesion and risk of bleeding with plavix and integrilin. in the post-cath period the pt developed repeat episode of chest pain, described as "sharp", "14/10" and focal over cardiac apex. his ekg was without change from previous with exception of v1 with t-wave flattening/inversion. the chest pain resolved with 1mg iv morphine sulfate. the pt was noted to have one subsequent episode of chest pain on the day of the brain biopsy which was not associated with any new or acute ekg changes (unchanged compared to previous). the pt's pain was relieved with 1 sl nitro and 1mg iv morphine. the pt was maintained on a beta-blocker, aspirin, ace inhibitor and statin (low dose, on haart). in the post-cath period and was discharged on these medications. his dose of beta-blocker was decreased prior to discharge in light of low pressure. the pt was instructed to follow-up as an out-pt with dr. in cardiology. . cardiac: pump the pt was noted to have an ejection fraction of 40-50% on echo and 45% on cardiac catheterization. the cardiac cath was also significant for an elevated wedge pressure in 20's, severe hypokinesis of posterior and lateral walls, trivial mitral regurgitation and no effusion. . cardiac: rhythm the pt was noted to be in normal sinus rhythm on telemetry. . renal: the pt has a baseline creatinine of 0.6-0.9 and the pt continued to be in this range during the hospitalization. . leukocytosis: the pt was noted to have an elevated white count of 24.3 but no bands or fever on admission. the wbc count decreased to within normal limits on subsequent lab readings the same day and it was thought that the pt may have had transient leukocytosis secondary to acute mi. the pt was not noted to be febrile during the hospitalization and all his cultures showed no growth to date. . hiv: the pt was on anti-retroviral medications on admission. he had the following counts: absolute cd4 (342), absolute cd8 (967) and a cd4/cd8 ratio of 0.4. the pt's hiv viral load by rt-pcr was 562 copies/ml. on admission he was on a regimen of efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fum and primaquine. he was maintained on his regimen while admitted in the hospital. he was discharged with instructions to follow-up with his primary care provider as an . . pcp : the pt was noted to have a cxr significant for a worsening of consolidation in the left upper lobe with cavitation. it was thought that this may represent worsening of pneumonia or a hemorrhage from a recent biopsy (which showed no aspergillus or fungal elements). the was placed on tb precautions until tb was ruled out with acid fast smears from induced sputum and a bronchoalveolar lavage which revealed pneumocystis carinii on immunofluorescence testing. the pt was initiated on a 17 day course of primaquine-clindamycin. the pt was subsequently noted to have x3 negative afb smears, however afb were noted to grow on culture. the samples were sent to the state of lab for tb probe and the preliminary results, (infection control) were negative. the pt was subsequently taken off precautions and was instructed to follow-up with dr. for the final report. the pt also underwent testing for rapid respiratory viral antigen test in which no respiratory viral antigens were detected. however, the culture confirmation was pending at the time of discharge and will need to be followed by dr. . dr. was informed of these pending results. . infectious diseases work-up: the pt was noted to have negative tests for legionella urinary antigen, fungus (, biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage), rpr (), toxoplasma antibodies (igg, igm) and cryptococcal antigen. the following laboratory tests were pending at the time of discharge and will need to be followed as an out-patient: induced sputum afb culture, afb culture (brain biopsy) and csf acid-fast bacillus. . seizures: the pt was noted to have new-onset seizures during his last hospitalization. he was started on keppra and was noted to have a non-specific hypodensity in the right temporal lobe on ct. during that admission the pt had an eeg that showed the unknown hypodensity to be a likely source of his seizure activity. on discharge after his last hospitalization the pt was also informed of state law requiring 6 months of no seizures prior to driving again, and was instructed to make arrangements to inform his place of employment. when the pt was admitted on he was not noted to have any focal deficits. the pt underwent a planned brain biopsy which showed no diagnostic toxoplasma gondii or multinucleated cells, scattered gram-positive cocci isolated and in pairs, not directly associated with microglial nodules (the nodules lacked multinucleated cells that would be diagnostic for hiv encephalitis), the acid fast stain was negative for bacilli and the gms silver stain lacked fungi or yeast forms, tissue gram stain showed infrequent gram-positive cocci scattered over the tissue, sometimes near sites of pathology and sometimes in otherwise normal brain. while the lack of secondary tissue changes to many of these organisms suggested they may be a staining contaminant, the culture prepared from this same brain tissue did grow rare coagulase negative staphylococcus. clinical correlation was advised. after discussion with the attending, dr. and the infectious diseases team, it was thought that the coag negative staph likely represented a contamination (especially in light of a delay between collection and processing of the brain biopsy specimen). a decision was made to discharge the patient on his haart regimen, cardiac medications and pcp pneumonia treatment. no treatment was indicated based on clinical correlation (no mental status changes, no signs of meningitis or clinical signs of infection).the pt was instructed to follow-up with dr. who will discuss the final results of the biopsy (brain) and pending microbiology studies. . fen: the pt was maintained on a cardiac and heart healthy diet. . code: full code . communication: , health care proxy (sister) . medications on admission:

liver. 4. colonic diverticulosis without diverticulitis. 5. left adnexal cyst, unusual in a postmenopausal patient. this should be further evaluated with pelvic ultrasound on a nonemergent basis. leni: extensive acute dvt within the entire left lower extremity deep venous systems. no right dvt. ecg: sinus rhythm. non-specific junctional st segment depressions. compared to the previous tracing this finding is new. tte: the left atrium is elongated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. pelvic us: fibroids, follicular activity left ovary, right ovary not seen, thrombus in the left iliac vein brief hospital course: 1) dvt/pe: patient was started on anticoagulation with heparin for extensive pe/dvt (lle). this was continued despite bleeding. once the bleeding has stabilized, she was started on coumadin. she was discharged on a lovenox bridge to coumadin. in terms of workup for cause of this thrombosis, pt had a pelvic us to further evaluate mass since on ct as potential malignancy. but there was no evidence of ovarian malignancy. she was up to date on other cancer screening. factor v leiden and prothrombin gene mutation were pending at time of discharge. the rest of the hypercoagulable workup will have to be done once acute thrombosis resolves. the left leg swelling improved throughout the admission. pt was instructed to keep the leg wrapped most of the day. and to keep it elevated when lying in bed or sitting. .. 2) gi bleed: flex sig showed diverticulosis so this bleeding was secondary to that. pt did have blood loss anemia requiring transfusions. during the last 5days of the admission, there was no clinical bleeding and her hct was stable to slightly improving. aspirin was held. verapamil was also held and not restarted as pt's bp was well controlled in house. .. 3) htn: as above, verapamil was held. .. 4) coagulopathy: on admission, pt had thromboctyopenia, low fibrinogen. this was felt to be due to consumption and factors improved once anticoagulation was started. there was no evidence of frank dic. .. 5) pneumonia: several days into the admission, pt developed a low grade temperature and cough. though this was most likely due to pulmonary infarction, levaquin was started for pneumonia. pt's cough improved with this and she completed a 5d course of levaquin before discharge. medications on admission: aspirin 81 mg betamethasone valerate 0.1 % to skin metrogel 1 % to skin multivitamin qd

history of present illness: after her arrest and transferred to the medical intensive care unit, the patient was followed for a number of conditions. 1. with regards to infectious disease, the patient continued to be covered for her high-grade candidemia. in addition, she was covered with broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover other possible infectious contributions to her illness. 2. she continued to remain dependent on ventilator and could not be successfully weaned without developing marked respiratory distress. 3. gi. she continued to be followed by the gi team, who remained concerned that her elevated lfts represented hepatic candidiasis or a potential biliary obstruction. unfortunately, the patient was not stable enough to undergo mri examination of her abdomen, and this remained an unanswered question. 4. neurology. after her arrest, the patient never regained meaningful interactions with her caretakers or her family. at various times she appeared very uncomfortable, and a decision was ultimately made to focus treatment on her comfort. after extensive discussions with the family about her ongoing issues and her grim prognosis, the decision was made to defer further aggressive measures and focus care on her comfort. in accordance with these wishes, the patient was extubated on , and weaned from all antibiotics and blood pressure supporting medicines. shortly thereafter, the patient expired. time of death: 1:30 am on . cause of death: 1. cardiac arrest. 2. sepsis. no autopsy was performed per the family's request. discharge status: deceased. discharge diagnoses: 1. candidemia. 2. sepsis. 3. anemia. 4. tachycardia. 5. electrolyte abnormalities. 6. hepatitis. 7. acute cholecystitis. 8. pancreatitis. 9. status post pulseless electrical activity arrest. 10. tophaceous gout. 11. hypothyroidism. discharge medications: none. follow-up plan: none. , md dictated by: medquist36 d: 10:28 t: 11:49 job#: Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Diagnostic ultrasound of heart Insertion of endotracheal tube Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Endoscopic sphincterotomy and papillotomy Endoscopic dilation of ampulla and biliary duct Other cholecystotomy Diagnoses: Acute kidney failure with lesion of tubular necrosis Acute and subacute necrosis of liver Unspecified septicemia Acute respiratory failure Defibrination syndrome Disseminated candidiasis Acute pancreatitis Calculus of gallbladder with acute cholecystitis, without mention of obstruction Gouty tophi of other sites, except ear

this is an 81-year-old with no medical history except for tophaceous gout who was in her usual state of excellent health until three days prior to admission when after lunch, she laid down because she did not feel well. she sleeps in a different room from her husband, with whom she lives. when he asked her later that evening how she was, she said she was fine. the next day, she continued to remain in bed. he offered her some juice, which she drank, but she was slowly becoming more confused and lethargic. on the third day, she was barely arousable and incoherent. he called ems who found her to be "incontinent of urine." she was taken to hospital where she was lethargic, oliguric and confused. she had a rectal temperature of 87 degrees. her pulse was 80 with a systolic blood pressure of 72-135. she was found to be guaiac positive with a fingerstick of 38. her white blood cell count was 17.1, 87% neutrophils, 14% bands, 4% lymphocytes and 2% monocytes. her hematocrit was found to be 16.1. he platelet count was 100,000. her chem-7 revealed a sodium of 148, potassium 4.8, chloride 118, bicarbonate 15, bun 83 and creatinine 2.5. her ck was 499 with an mb of 60 and an index of 12. her inr was 2.6. blood cultures times two were negative. a head ct was performed which showed enlarged ventricles, but was otherwise negative. she was resuscitated and given two units of packed red blood cells. she was warmed to a rectal temperature of 94 and transferred to for further care. on arrival, her temperature was 98 and she had a systolic blood pressure in the low 100s. she received more blood products and vitamin k and was admitted to the medical intensive care unit. past medical history: tophaceous gout. medications: advil 1 tablet q.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: no tobacco or alcohol use. never visited a doctor. lives with her husband in . does the banking, and shopping and cooking. is very active at home, taking care of her husband of the past 60 years. family history: a sibling with diabetes. physical examination: this is an ill-appearing elderly woman who had a temperature of 98 rectally, a blood pressure of 106/50. pulse of 87. respiratory rate of 28 and an oxygen saturation of 100% on 100% nonrebreather. she was normocephalic, atraumatic with a 2 mm right pupil and a 1 mm sluggish left pupil. she had anicteric sclera. her mucous membranes were dry. she had upper dentures and dried blood on her upper palate above her dentures. her neck had no masses. her chest was clear except with good air movement except for decreased breath sounds at the right base. her heart was regular in rate and rhythm with no murmurs. her abdomen was moderately distended without rebound or guarding and good bowel sounds. her back had no overt lesions. she had a fluctuant mass along her right thorax extending from her axilla to her iliac crest without erythema. she had large gouty tophi and joint disease of bilateral hands and feet. she had 2+ anasarca. she had 2+ bilateral radial and dorsalis pedis pulses. she had ischemic discoloration of her right second finger, left second to fourth digits in all ten toes bilaterally. she had numerous ulcerations on her feet. her gout involved the small joints of her hands, as well as both her elbows and both her knees. on neurological exam, she was awake and responded to voice, but did not answer questions. her extraocular movements were intact and she was moving all her extremities, as well as withdrawing to pain. laboratory data on arrival: white blood cell count of 15.9, hematocrit of 24.9, a platelet count of 117,000, inr of 2.6, an arterial blood gas of 7.41, 28 and 114. a negative toxicology screen and a chem-7 consistent with that of the outside hospital. albumin is 3.1, ast of 749 with alt of 437. alkaline phosphatase of 269 and a total bilirubin of 1.9. her tsh was 6 with a free t4 of 0.7. her cortisol was 55. amylase and lipase revealed a 123 and 405. her ck was 485. it peaked at 1064 and then returned to . her troponin peaked at 1.4. electrocardiogram revealed normal sinus rhythm at 90 beats per minute with low voltage in the limb leads. she had normal axis, normal intervals and no acute st changes. chest x-ray showed low lung volumes and bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than the left, with associated collapse of her right lower lobe and right middle lobe. abdominal ct revealed a large right and a moderate left pleural effusion, as well as ascites. she also had a right subcutaneous fluid collection. she had a uterine fibroid. her bowels appeared normal as did her liver and gallbladder. she had atrophic kidneys with scattered cysts. she had normal pancreas, spleen and adrenals. hospital course: on admission to the medical intensive care unit, she was resuscitated with two units of ffp, 1 mg of intravenous vitamin k, intravenous fluids and she was started on antibiotics, mainly vancomycin, ceftriaxone and flagyl. she did not require pressors at any point during her stay. the main initial differential included ttp, although, her coags were abnormal and she had a negative lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies, so that diagnosis was excluded. the main concerns then were either sepsis leading to dic or massive gastrointestinal bleed leading to dic. she spent six days in the intensive care unit where she was persistently obtunded and guaiac positive. however, she was hemodynamically stable and was easily weaned off all supplemental oxygen and remained with a good blood pressure. multiple blood cultures were negative. she had a single urine culture on presentation that had 10-100,000 pansensitive e. coli, but all subsequent urine cultures were negative. her necrotic toes were cultures and grew out polymicrobial gram positive cocci and gram negative rods. she was given the diagnosis of sepsis of unknown etiology with complications of dic and multisystem organ failure, namely acute renal failure, shock liver, acute myocardial infarction, altered mental status and digital necrosis. she also had gross anasarca. given her altered mental status, mr of her head was performed which revealed chronic microvascular infarct, but was negative for anoxic brain injury or major infarct. an lumbar puncture was negative with normal protein and glucose and negative cultures. an electroencephalogram was consistent with toxic metabolic encephalopathy. her b12, folate and rpr were all normal. her arterial blood gases remained within normal limits. her white blood cell count fell to approximately 13. her inr improved with vitamin k and ffp. she initially had a lactate of 3.9 that dropped to 1.9. her hematocrit remained stable at about 26-28. her platelets remained low in the 80,000s. her creatinine peaked at 3.9 and then slowly dropped to approximately 1.4. her bicarbonate improved from 17 to 25. her transaminases returned to . her alkaline phosphatase stabilized in the 300-400 range. numerous consultations were obtained including a cardiology that stated that her myocardial infarction was likely in the setting of severe anemia and sepsis. an echocardiogram revealed severe apical hypokinesis with decreased systolic function and a small effusion with fiber and deposits on the cardiac surface. cardiology recommended no anticoagulation given her anemia and guaiac positive stools. they recommended keeping her hematocrit about 30 and the use of a beta-blocker if she became hypertensive or tachycardic, neither of which happened during her stay. hematology was also consulted regarding her coagulopathy. they felt it was consistent with dic and was not ttp. they recommended vitamin k supplementation which improved her inr. she did, however, have a persistently elevated ptt despite having a negative lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody. the renal service was consulted and diagnosed her with atn with muddy brown casts. he creatinine slowly improved from a peak of 3.9 to 1.4. her anasarca improved with diuresis. she did not require hemodialysis. a rheumatology consult stated that she had chronic gout with no apparent acute flare of any joints. she was unable to receive colchicine or nsaids due to her acute renal failure and would not have benefited from allopurinol at that time. her right elbow was causing her some discomfort and was tapped twice during her stay. both times, it was negative for infectious arthritis, but did reveal crystals suggestive of gout. the vascular surgery service was consulted and continues to follow her throughout her stay with regard to the gangrene of her toes. her lower extremities were elevated and received wound care. amputations were recommended when she was medically stable. her toes were never a cause of her sepsis and never look infected. they were debrided as necessary. they became very well demarcated and healed nicely. the gastrointestinal service was consulted. they felt that she most likely had pancreatitis and were uncertain what the initial cause of her sepsis or her massive gastrointestinal bleed was. they recommended transfusions, following her guaiac and no ng suction. they stated that neither esophagogastroduodenoscopy nor colonoscopy could be done until six weeks after her myocardial infarction unless she demonstrated active bleeding. however, her hematocrit remained stable after her initial transfusion. after six days in the unit, she was transferred to the floor. there was a concern that her mental status were due to the morphine and ativan she was receiving because of her extreme pain during dressing changes. during her stay in the unit, she was nearly constantly crying or screaming. on the floor, she remained hypothermic with an alkaline phosphatase of about 500. her white blood cell count increased to about 26. her stool culture was negative for c. difficile times three. she was changed from ceftriaxone to ceftazidime and remained on broad spectrum coverage. she continued to have excellent saturations and blood pressures. her only focal sign remained abdominal pain. an ultrasound was unhelpful. a second ct was obtained which showed a large gallbladder that was not inflamed with a large gallstone. there was no pericholecystic fluid or biliary dilatation or obstruction. during this time, she had been started on tube feeds. however, she had an episode of nausea and vomiting with aspiration and so she was made npo and tpn was started via a picc. due to the concern for cholecystitis, a hida scan was performed which showed no uptake. this was consistent with acute cholecystitis and there was a potential that this could have been the triggers setting off her sepsis. a gallbladder drain was placed by interventional radiology as general surgery consulted and stated that she was far too ill to undergo surgery. her viral culture was negative. in the continued search for a source of her sepsis, her pleural effusion was tapped. it was transudate and the cultures were negative. her ascites was also tapped. her serum to ascites albumin gradient was 1.1. she had 1700 white blood cells with 60% polys and a negative gram stain and cultures. at that point, she had received adequate coverage for bacterial peritonitis with ceftriaxone and then ceftazidime. after the gallbladder drain was placed. her white blood cell and alkaline phosphatase started to decrease, but after a few days, her total bilirubin, white blood cell count and alkaline phosphatase once again started to rise for unclear reasons. a ggt was checked to insure that the alkaline phosphatase was of liver source and it was very elevated. she also had a mild lipase leak at this point from 45 to 71. there was a concern for gallstone pancreatitis or cholangitis. she continued to have melena throughout this time. a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was performed which showed pancreatitis and no biliary dilatation, but raised the question of a mass in the head or uncinate process of the pancreas and also a question of duct disruption. as her alkaline phosphatase continued to rise, from the 500s to the 1000s and her total bilirubin increased to 2.2 and her lipase increased to 123, an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography consult was obtained. the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fellow recommended a cholangiogram as an initial first step. this was done injecting dye through her gallbladder drain. this revealed a distal common bile duct obstruction, question stenosis versus stone with no duodenal filling and mild dilatation of her hepatic and common bile ducts. also during this time, other sources of infection were being sought and an mri of her feet were done, which were negative for infection. as above, her right elbow joint was also tapped and was negative for septic arthritis. after the cholangiogram revealed obstruction, an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed which revealed no pus or masses but did reveal ampullary stenosis. a sphincterotomy was performed. on the floor, after her endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, she developed post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis and her lipase rose to 163. she had increasing abdominal tenderness and became slightly more confused. prior to the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, her mental status had greatly improved, although, she still was not speaking, she was alert. after the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a third abdominal ct with intravenous contrast was obtained to evaluate for potential endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography induced perforation of the intestine or for pancreatic mass given the question raised on the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography done earlier. abdominal ct number three revealed pancreatitis with no hemorrhage or significant necrosis and no pancreatic mass. she had no signs of perforation secondary to her endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and no bowel ischemia. after the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, her total bilirubin dropped to normal, however, her alkaline phosphatase continued to increase from the 1100s to the 1700s. as she slowly recovered from her endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis, not only did her alkaline phosphatase continue to rise, but she developed a direct hyperbilirubinemia again. at this point, she began growing from her blood and her urine. she received 24 days of broad spectrum antibiotics at this point. her antibiotics were stopped and her tpn was stopped as well. her picc line was removed. she was started on fluconazole. right around this time, she developed dysarthria and a facial droop that was unclear if it was new. a repeat mri with gadolinium was the same as her previous. the repeat was done on and it showed no changes from the mri on . a repeat electroencephalogram was normal. over a few days, her dysphonia improved. she remained on her fluconazole. surveillance blood cultures were negative. a repeat cholangiogram showed normal biliary tree and flow. this cholangiogram was performed as her alkaline phosphatase had continued to rise from the 1700s to the . a repeat bile culture grew yeast. her white blood cell count remained stable between 16 and 20,000 throughout this time. she was restarted on tube feeds as her post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis was improving. an ophthalmology consult was obtained to evaluate for fungal eye disease secondary to her candidemia. she had no evidence of fungal eye disease. after she developed candidemia and with her increasing alkaline phosphatase, her creatinine bumped from 1.4 to 1.6. despite her positive cultures, she continued to improve in terms of mental status, abdominal pain, and renal function. however, since her bile culture had grown out , her gallbladder drain was removed. after it was pulled, she had leakage of her ascites out of the cutaneous fistula tract that had led to her gallbladder. the ascitic fluid was tinged brown with concern for bile spillage into the peritoneal cavity. over the afternoon after her gallbladder drain was pulled, she demonstrated increasing abdominal tenderness and guarding that was new. this was discussed with the gastrointestinal and radiology services who stated that she should be started on broad spectrum antibiotics to cover potential secondary bacterial peritonitis, although, she was most likely suffering from a chemical peritonitis secondary to bile spillage. fluid was sent for gram stain culture and fungal culture. radiology stated that in the presence of ascites, the site of her gallbladder drain in the gallbladder wall was less likely to close off immediately after the catheter was pulled, but should close with time. they recommended supportive care through this peritonitis. later that evening, she was noted to be bradycardic on telemetry. a code was called. she underwent pea arrest and was transferred to the medical intensive care unit after she was resuscitated. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive

deficiency. he received a total of 2 doses of survanta and was weaned to extubatable settings within 24 hours of age. he was extubated to room air. he remained stable in room air until day of life 14 when he required some nasal cannula oxygen. he had been receiving caffeine for apnea of prematurity until day of life 27. he was stable on nasal cannula oxygen until the onset of current clinical situation (see renal) requiring him to be intubated on day of life 27 () with associated severe respiratory acidosis. due to poor ventilation as well as poor lung expansion, he was placed on hfo with a max map of 18=9. he was changed to simv on and currently on 24/5 x 34 21-25% fio2. his most recent blood gas on these settings was a ph of 7.40, pco2 of 40, po2 of 97, bicarb 26, base xs 0. his most recent cxr demonstrates poor lung inflation with 7 rib expansion cardiovascular: his cardiovascular status has been stable throughout hospital course. no history of a murmur. no history of a murmur. his heart rate range from 150 to 160 and his means are mid to high 60s. he had an echocardiogram performed on . there was no intercardiac thrombus noted. he had good biventricular function. a patent foramen ovale was present. otherwise structurally normal. gastrointestinal/ genitourinary: birth weight was 1280 grams. discharge weight is 2.080 kg. we are basing fluids on 1.915 grams. after birth, he was initially started on 100 cc per kg per day of d10w starter pn. enteral feedings were initiated on day of life no. 3. he advanced to full enteral feedings by day of life 9. he was tolerating full enteral feedings until , with the onset of these current renal issues (see below) . he was made npo. he is currently received parenteral nutrition of d12.5 with 3 of sodium chloride and one of potassium chloride. he also has peripheral arterial line in with normal saline with one unit of heparin. on the morning of : his sodium was 138, potassium is 3.6, chloride is 102, total co2 was 27. a repeat in the evening showed a potassium of 2.7 (nicu on 7north called and will remake fluids containing 3 meq of k cl. urine, electrolytes from , showed sodium of 70, potassium of 7, chloride of 54, albumin was 37.4, creatinine was 4. renal: the infant presented on day of life 27, , with frank blood in urine. at that time a renal ultrasound was performed and the renal ultrasound showed an echogenic enlarged right kidney with reversed diastolic flow. the right kidney measured approximately 5.3 cm and the left kidney measured approximately 4.7 liters. at that time images of the aorta and inferior vena cava were not obtained. repeat renal ultrasound on , showed marked enlarged and echogenic right kidney which measured approximately 5.9 cm. the arterial flow present to the right kidney showed high velocity and reversed diastolic flow. the left kidney measured approximately 4.6 cm and had high velocity flow with reversal in diastole as well. there was a small amount of ascites. the gallbladder was filled with sludge. the ivc had a very narrow portion just proximal to the confluence of the hepatic vein. distal to this was a large clot measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter. the ivc clot most likely accounts for the abnormal findings in both kidneys and the patient's hematuria. the study was limited by the patient's overlying bowel gas and the fact that he was on high frequency ventilation. his most recent abdominal ultrasound was done on . the findings of this ultrasound were once again showed a large clot in the ivc below the liver. the clot does not involve the intrahepatic portion of the ivc. flow was present both proximal and distal to the clot, however the origins of the renal veins were not identified. both kidneys remained small with decreased cortical medullary differentiation. the right kidney is somewhat smaller since the prior study currently measuring 5.5 cm in length compared to 5.9 cm. ivc clot currently measures approximately 2.8 x 0.7 x 1.2 in size. there is persistent high resistance arterial flow within the right renal artery as well as within segmental and internal arteries with diminished diastolic flow. the amplitude of the intrarenal wave forms was also dampened. the resistive indices measure between 0.83 and 1.0 on the right. venous flow was identified within the right kidney, especially in the region of the hilum. a renal vein was identified draining into the retroperitoneum on the left side. the flow within the main renal artery and within the renal parenchyma is more normal than that on the right. the resistive indicates with the left renal parenchyma range between 0.68 and 0.84. the renal service has been consulted and following; the attending is dr. . after the patient presented with gross hematuria, concern for renal vein thrombosis, and poor urine output, a foley catheter was placed. the foley is now out. his most recent bun was 23 and creatinine was 0.6 that was on . he had a peak bun of 81 with a creatinine of 0.9. peak bilirubin was on day of life 4 of 6.3/0.4. the infant received phototherapy for a total of one week and that issue has since resolved. hematology: hematocrit on admission was 56.1. in setting of renal vein thrombosis, infant had crit of 26.7% and received prbc transfusion. the infant has received in total of 40 per kg packed red blood cells since dol #27 with the most recent blood transfusion being on . his most recent hematocrit was 37.9 on . his blood type is a positive, direct coombs' negative. in light of all the concerns for intravascular clots pt, ptt were obtained and his most recent levels - he had a pt of 13.4, and ptt of 36.7 on . his d-dimer at that time was 7638. in the setting of bilateral renal vein thrombosis and ivc clot with concern for further spread, hematology service was consulted. he was started on lovenox on . we have been unsuccessful in reaching therapeutic levels. his most current level was today and it was 0.1. dr. is the attending. since his acute current illness, his platelet count was monitored. his lowest plt count was 98 and this has remained stable and currently 148. no platelet transfusions were required. of note, in the setting of ivc/renal venous thrombi, a hematological work-up was sent on both parents and pending at the time of this dictation. infectious disease: with the onset of hematuria and decompensation of his respiratory status. a cbc and blood culture obtained. the infant was started on vancomycin and gentamycin which was then changed to cefotaxime and vanc (levels of 6.9 and 26.6). he was changed to cefotaxime and oxacillin on . the plan is to treat him for one week with antibiotics. his blood culture from is no growth to date. his cbc's have all been normal except for one shifted cbc on with wbc of 0.0 (22p10b) neurologic: initial head ultrasound on was within normal limits. prior to starting lovenox, a repeat hus was done and was within normal limits. on , a another hus was performed and demonstrated bilateral hemorrhages in the subependymal regions as well as significantly larger bleed in the region of the right thalamus. there was mild dilatation of the lateral ventricles and third ventricle. the third ventricle was displaced to the right. the thalamic bleed measures approximately 1.4 x 1.8 x 1.8 cm in size. the fourth ventricle is small but otherwise appears normal. several foci punctuate regions of hyperechogenicity are identified within the chrono radiata on each side which may represent small hemorrhages. no other abnormality. neurology was consulted-- dr. is the attending neurologist. neurology thought that infant might have internal cerbral clots with secondary hemorrhagic component; as a result they recommended obtaining a mrv at restarting lovenox. the infant is now being transferred to for mrv and possible lovenox to be restarted. sensory: hearing screen has not been performed. ophthalmology: eye exams have not been done at this time. psychosocial: a social worker has been involved with the family and can be reached at . the family has been kept up to date and are appropriately concerned. condition on discharge: guarded.

history of present illness: please note that the patient has a discharge summary dating , with addendum that adequately describes his course prior to this current admission which was on . this patient has had a long and complicated course and history of present illness will be presented in that context. this is an 83 year old right handed man without any significant past medical history as he did not present himself to medical attention, had initially presented with right hemiplegia and dysarthria and had been found to have a left parapontine ischemic stroke in the setting of severely compromised posterior circulation including bilateral vertebral stenoses and midbasilar stenosis. he had been discharged on , to a rehabilitation facility. reportedly his blood pressure which usually was systolic of 160 to 200 dropped to 130 and he had worsening symptoms of right hemiplegia and also in terms of left sided symptoms. for this reason, he was transferred to for further evaluation. medications on admission: 1. plavix 75 mg p.o. q.d. 2. aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d. 3. magnesium oxide 400 mg p.o. b.i.d. for four doses which he had not completed. 4. tylenol 650 mg q6hours p.r.n. pain. social history: the patient used to live alone on a farm until his previous hospitalization. allergies: no known drug allergies. family history: noncontributory. physical examination: on readmission on , systolic blood pressure is in the 170s and diastolic blood pressure is in the 80s. heart rate is in the 60s and regular. the patient is lying in bed somnolent, hard collar in place, family by bedside. the heart is regular rate and rhythm. the lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. positive bowel sounds. neurological examination on readmission revealed the patient is dysarthric and somnolent but fairly arousible, can say his name but does not know the date (question inattentive/frustrated) or what hospital. the patient is fluent. the rest of the examination was not completed due to the patient's disinterest. on cranial nerve examination, the patient had pupils equal, round and reactive to light. extraocular movements were intact. right facial droop. right tongue deviation. hearing was intact to finger rub. sternocleidomastoid and trapezius were not tested. motor examination - flaccid right side, only moves toes to noxious stimuli, question spasms, right side has significantly more strength. notably deltoids 5-/5, biceps , and distal upper extremities have 5-/5 finger extensors and finger flexors. wrist extensor and flexors were full strength. iliopsoas was 5-/5. quadriceps was , hamstring was 5-/5 and the remainder of all the muscle groups were essentially full strength either or 5-/5. there was also question of patient's interest and effort during this part of the examination. sensory - the patient denies any decrease in sensation to light touch and cold touch, question of inattention. the patient was areflexic on the right upper extremity with 1+ deep tendon reflex on the left upper extremity at biceps and triceps. he had 1+ patellar reflexes bilaterally. achilles tendon reflex could not be elicited and he had upgoing toes bilaterally. coordination - finger-nose-finger within normal limits on the left. gait - the patient is bed bound. hospital course: as mentioned above, the patient has had a long and complicated course. i will address his course in summary highlighting each physical system. 1. neurologic - a magnetic resonance scan was done with stroke protocol that showed extension of restricted diffusion in the left parapontine region with new restricted diffusion in the left cerebellum and a minimal restricted diffusion on the right. he was admitted to the intensive care unit with heparin drip and was coumadinized initially. his neurological course has had many turns. in summary, head of bed was kept flat and when we would either try to increase the inclination of the head of the bed, he would get symptoms including nausea and loss of strength on the left. his strength on the right side remained minimal, only able to wiggle toes and occasionally wiggle fingers. his strength on the right was also waxing and with good strength on some days as described in the initial examination and on other days he would not give his best effort. at least one time we did a repeat imaging because we were concerned that he may have had further extension of infarct but we did not find any new findings beside what has already been mentioned above. the patient has been kept anticoagulated for neurological reasons through heparin drip and has been tried to be coumadinized to goal at multiple times. at times, the coumadin has been stopped either because the patient needed an interventional radiology procedure or needed percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube to be placed. at this time, he is still on heparin drip with coumadin being administered to goal. after an episode of pulmonary edema on the morning of , after administration of fresh frozen plasma to reverse supratherapeutic inr that will be described below in the cardiovascular section, an angiogram was done by dr. to determine possibility of angioplasty of posterior circulation, however, on this angiogram, there was evidence of total occlusion of the basilar artery with evidence of collaterals being formed from the pica and possible collateral blood flow from the left meningeal vasculature. given this situation, there was no indication for any further intervention and no angioplasty was done. this was discussed extensively with the family. from a neurological point of view, we are going to manage him conservatively with gentle challenge of his posterior circulation by increasing the inclination of his bed and hoping he does not get any symptoms. there have been talks of possible involvement of neurosurgery by dr. to ask whether there would be any neurosurgical procedure that could be done that would enhance blood flow to the posterior circulation. at this time, this consultation is in progress and we will likely contact dr. for his formal opinion on the issue. also from a neurological standpoint, we have kept his blood pressure always more than 160 systolic but we have revisited this issue as discussed below in the next section. 2. cardiac - initially we had kept the patient's blood pressure in the 160s to 180s to enhance flow to the posterior circulation. however, on , he was found to be diaphoretic, tachypneic with rate of 40s and stat electrocardiogram was done that showed evidence of st wave elevation and reciprocal depression in the precordial leads and with evidence of t wave inversion in the lateral leads. a stat cardiology consultation was called and this was felt to be flash pulmonary edema due to the fact that he had recently been transfused with one unit of fresh frozen plasma for an supratherapeutic inr of 5.2. he was managed in the cardiac unit for a day and was transferred after being given intravenous lasix and diuresed. he did pretty well from a cardiac standpoint and we used p.o. lopressor 12.5 mg from time to time to control his blood pressure. we also had started midodrine 10 mg t.i.d. in the hopes of preventing him from getting orthostatic hypotension. after this episode on , midodrine was stopped. the patient had another congestive heart failure exacerbation with flash pulmonary edema on chest x-ray on the morning of . cardiology was again involved and he was transferred to the subacute coronary care unit. he was again found to be diaphoretic with tachypnea in the 40s and systolic blood pressure 220/110. he was initially managed with a nitroglycerin drip and he is going to be transferred back to the floor with lopressor 37.5 mg b.i.d. and nitroglycerin patch 0.2 mg between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. and lasix 20 mg q.o.d. that will be further described in the present medication section. we had a long discussion with the cardiology team and they felt that the patient was going to continue having subendocardial ischemia that would cause flash pulmonary edema and similar episodes to the one he had on , and . however, if we did not control his blood pressure adequately, a decision has been reached that we will tightly control his blood pressure between 150 and 160. the cardiology team also feels that should he have another of this congestive heart failure exacerbation, decision will then have to be made as to whether he will benefit from cardiac catheterization. the cardiology team is going to be following the patient on the floor. 3. fen - a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube was placed through which he has received tube feeds, promote with fiber. the patient had significant morbidity from percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement, having subcutaneous emphysema that took a couple of weeks to resolve. the patient had two episodes of bleeding from the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube site and hemostasis was achieved by surgicel on both occasions. interventional radiology was involved on the first bleed and general surgery was curb-sided on the second occasion and they agreed with the plan to use surgicel to achieve hemostasis. it is presumed that because of this intermittent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube site bleed into the stomach through the tube, he has been guaiac positive. the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube was advanced to a jejunostomy tube because there was some concern that he may be aspirating. 4. orthopedic - the patient was diagnosed with a type ii odontoid fracture and as per orthopedics, we have kept him in the hard collar which he does not tolerate very well. he is scheduled to see dr. , , on , for reassessment on this issue. if the patient is still in house, please call his office on , and determine follow-up care. 5. other - there were long discussions with the family and the patient was made dnr/dni after a family meeting. there was another family meeting that was arranged to decide on the interventional radiology angioplasty procedure. at this meeting, dr. from interventional radiology was present and we provided explanation on the reasons why this was being done. , of the patient, was appointed as principal spokesperson and health proxy for the patient. his contact numbers are home and his beeper . 6. psychiatry - the patient was started on citalopram 20 mg q.d. because after several discussions, we noted that the patient had a depressed affect. psychiatry was consulted and they agreed with the plan. in summary, the patient is going to be managed conservatively with hopes of formation of collateral flow to his posterior circulation and he will be managed more aggressively from a cardiology standpoint with possible cardiac catheterization if family decides to go ahead with the procedure. please note that hematocrit has been stable in the low 30s ranging between 30.0 and 32.0. medications at present: 1. lopressor 37.5 mg b.i.d. 2. aspirin 81 mg q.d. 3. lipitor 10 mg q.d. 4. citalopram 20 mg q.d. 5. colace 100 mg t.i.d. 6. lasix 20 mg q.o.d., hold for systolic blood pressure less than 150. 7. dulcolax per tube/pr 10 mg p.r.n. 8. coumadin 5 mg q.h.s. 9. nitroglycerin patch 0.2 mg between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., take off for systolic blood pressure less than 150. 10. tube feed promote with fiber 20 cc/hour, at goal 80 cc/hour. at lower volumes, it will be complimented by normal saline so that the patient gets total of 80 cc/hour of fluid. 11. lansoprazole 30 mg q.d. follow-up: the patient's follow-up will be determined when the patient is going to be discharged. there will be an addendum that will be dictated when discharge process will be initiated. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Percutaneous [endoscopic] gastrostomy [PEG] Percutaneous [endoscopic] gastrojejunostomy Diagnoses: Subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care Urinary tract infection, site not specified Congestive heart failure, unspecified Acute kidney failure, unspecified Pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus Emphysema (subcutaneous) (surgical) resulting from procedure Occlusion and stenosis of basilar artery with cerebral infarction Other gastrostomy complications Closed fracture of cervical vertebra, unspecified level

negative, and rectal exam showed guiac positive brown stool. her anemia was believed to be secondary to a gi bleed. she was transfused 4 units total with appropriate hct response, and her hct/hgb ramined stable. she underwent egd/colonoscopy which showed esophageal and fundal varices and a large polyp in the colon, concerning for malignancy which was believed to be the source of bleeding. on biopsy, this lesion was found to be an adenoma with high grade dysplasia. gastroenterology believed that it would be possible to perform a transluminal resection but that the procedure would have high risk of perforation and death. after a goals of care discussion with the health care proxy, , and the gastroenterology team it was decided that though the adenoma is high risk for malignancy, she will likely succumb to her severe pulmonary disease in the next 1-5 years and removal of the mass is not in line with her goals of care. she was started on nadolol for esophageal varaces. outpatient issues: -- obtain 2x weekly hcts and transfuse for hct <21 -- continue fe supplementation and epo administration . #. hypoxemic respiratory failure: the patient presented on 5l trans-trach from a baseline of 4l at home in the setting of known ipf, copd, and chronic heart failure. her dyspnea was attributed to anemia vs fluid overload from chf, and remained stable in-house and gradually improved upon discharge from the icu. there was low suspicion for a copd or ipf exacerbation. she was given iv torsemide for diuresis with her packed red cell transfusions, and her home bumex was held in-house. her home prednisone and nebulizers were continued in-house. related to her shortness of breath, she occassionally coughed up "blood balls", which she attributed to bloodly mucous originating at her catheter site. these were inconsistent, and associated with epistaxis, and we believed that there was a component of bloody post-nasal drip contributing, exacerbated by the fact that she was on a heparin gtt for her heart valve. the total blood loss from these episodes was essentially non-contributory. on the floor, she continued to be dyspneic at times. she was found to have evidence of a rul hap, so she was started empirically on vancomycin and cefepime. she developed progressive respiratory distress and returned the micu where she was intubated. she underwent broncheoalveolar lavage which was culture negative and her antibiotics were discontinued on . she continued to be intermittently diuresed but it was stopped when her creatinine bumped from 1.8 to 2.7. she was extubated and returned to the medical floor with o2 sats 95% on 2lnc the thought is that her respiratory distress was likely due to a mucus plug and pulmonary edema. after two days on the medical floor, she pulled out a nasogastric tube which had been used for tubefeeds, aspirated and developed respiratory distress with hypoxia and acidemia. she was transferred to the micu for a third time where she was again intubated. out of concern for hcap the pt was started on vanc/. due to increasing wbc and decreased stool output there was also concern for c.diff, which ultimately was positive, and the pt was started on flagyl/po vanc. the pt's respiratory status improved and she was successfully extubated. vancomycin was discontinued on with plan to complete a total of 8d of meropenem. outpatient issues: -- continue meropenem thru . -- ongoing discussion regarding replacement of transtracheal catheter. . #clostridium difficile: the pt was found to have a rising wbc, episodes of hypotension and decreased stool output. she was empirically started on iv flagyl and po vanco which were continued when stool culture was positive for c.diff. pt had subsequent decreased in wbc to normal with improvement in loose stools. outpatient issues: -- plan to complete po vancomycin 125mg po q6hrs as well as flagyl 500mg q8hrs; end date . . #anticoagulation: patient anticoagulated due to presence of mechanical valve. patient presented with an inr of 10 for unclear reasons. she received 5mg po vit k, and her inr down-trended to the sub-therapeutic range and she was started on a heparin gtt for her mechanical mitral valve. she experienced epistaxis and coughed up bloody mucus in the setting of a slightly supratherapeutic ptt which resolved with decreasing her heparin gtt. she was kept on a heparin drip for bridging on the medicine floor. when the decision was made to pursue endomucosal resection of her adenoma, her warfarin was discontinued, however given this was put on hold, the pt was restarted on coumadin . at time of discharge patient remained on hep gtt as well as coumadin 3mg daily; inr on day of discharge 1.9 outpatient issues: -- continue hep gtt and coumadin until inr therapeutic (2.5 - 3.5). . #volume status/acute renal failure. patient with oscillating renal function in house. peak cr 2.8 from a baseline of ~1.4, likely secondary to hypovolemia as well as renal hypoperfusion anemia. urine lytes showed were consistent with hypovolemia. initially bumex was held and she was given iv hydration. creatinine increased from 1.8-2.7 in the setting of diuresis (as above) and bumex was held. during hospital stay patient was intermittently diuresised and prior to discharge restarted on po bumex 5mg daily with creatinine of 1.7. weight at time of discharge: 62.4kg ; sating >95% on 5l nc. outpatient issues: -- pleae continue bumex 5mg po daily; monitor weights daily as well as renal function; may consider increasing bumex to or transitioning to iv if weight increases >3lb . # esophageal varices. newly diagnosed. patient placed on nadolol 10mg daily. . # hypertension. patient largely hypotensive to normotensive in house. decision made to hold home amlodipine 5mg daily as well as spironolactone 50mg at time of discharge. outpatient issues: -- close hemodynamic monitoring; plan to re-initiate anti-hypertensives if needed. . # pulmonary fibrosis. patient with transtracheal o2 catheter as well as use of chronic steriods as an outpatient. during 1st intubation transtracheal cath was removed. in house patient received stress dose steriods which were weanted to home prednisone 10mg daily at time of discharge. outpatient issues: -- continue chronic prednisone; consider need for pcp continue discussion re replacement of transtracheal cath . # hypernatremia. patient noted to be intermittently hypernatremic when npo/intubated. received free water boluses thru ngt as well as iv d5 with improvement. na at time of discharge 152 outpatient -- continue monitoring of electrolytes; encourage po intake and adminster d5w if needed (however by cautious in setting of known diastolic chf). # goals of care: on a goals of care discussion was held with the patient's hcp . the decision was made to forgo aggressive management of the colonic adenoma as her life expectancy with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (which she has suffered with for ~8 years) is now less than 5 years and likely less than one. the family wanted the patient to remain full code and to have aggressive management of her pulmonary disease. # code: full # hcp . . transitional issues =================== health care associated pneumonia treatment -- continue on meropenem for planned 8d course, end date . c. difficile infection -- continue on flagyl and po vanc for planned 10d course; end date: . congestive heart failure -- continue po bumex 5mg daily; monitor weights as well as renal function with weekly chem 10 panel . mitral valve replacement; goal inr 2.5 - 3.5 -- continue hep gtt until bridged with coumadin, 3mg daily, to a therapeutic inr . colonic polyp; gi bleed -- please check twice weekly hematocrit check with plan to transfuse if <24 . arrythmia -- restarting home dofetilide on discharge; primary cardiologist aware. . hypernatremia -- patient with improved po intake in days leading up to discharge however sodiums borderine in 140s-150s. please monitor closely to ensure patient does not need additional free water to correction of electrolyte abnormality. . pcp : consider starting pcp prophylaxis given chronic steroid use. discussed with the patient's pulmonologist, . patient has been on it in the past, but when she was on higher doses of po steroids (~20 mg) chronically. left kidney mass was seen on ct abdomen which is new since and will need follow up ultrasound and monitoring. medications on admission: 1.amlodipine 5 mg po daily 2.fexofenadine 60 mg tablet po bid 3.levothyroxine 112 mcg tablet po daily

by ent which required continuous o2 monitoring, but remained stable and although embolization was considered, it was not done because patient did not want elective intubation which would have been required for the procedre and with the risk of stroke with embolization this procedure was deferred. the packing was eventually removed and an absorbable intranasal packing was placed and nares kept moist with ocean spray and vaseline. she did have occasional episodes of minimal epistaxis which was managed with courses of afrin and supportive measures and her hematocrit remained stable after 3 total units of blood transfusions. she was continued on ancef while packing remained in place. she did have some pressure headaches from the packing which was stable on percocet and dilaudid as needed. 2)s/p mvr: for severe mitral regurgitation 6 yrs ago-- stable for now-- initially coumadin held and reversed with vitamin k and 2units of ffp and eventually she was restarted on coumadin with goal inr around 2.5-3.0 as her risk of bleeding is significant. during her stay she was bridged with heparin until inr was therapeutic. 3)anemia: acute on chronic with blood loss anemia on top of anemia of chronic disease with baseline hematocrit around 30. she was transfused total of 3units of prbc and her hematcrit remained stable above 30 during the rest of her stay, she was also restarted on her home epogen regemin. 4)copd/ipf: stable at baseline home o2 via trans-tracheal catheter. drainage from trans-tracheal catheter was managed by interventional pulmonary team with periodic

allergies: lasix / diuril / keflex / iodine attending: chief complaint: shortness of breath. major surgical or invasive procedure: none. history of present illness: mrs. is a 74 yo woman with pulmonary fibrosis and copd on transtracheal home oxygen (3-4l) and chronic prednisone (10mg po daily) who was admitted to the micu on for worsening dyspnea and hypoxia after elective bronchoscopy earlier that day. she was admitted in (~6 wks prior to this admission) to an osh for exacerbation of her shortness of breath and was discharged to a rehab facility. previously, she had been the primary caretaker for her ill husband, and reports being able to perform household chores and climb the stairs in her house, though believes this "wore her out." . because of the six weeks of worsening dyspnea and two days of increased cough productive of prurulent sputum (which coincided with an episode of prolonged epistaxis c/w prior history, though patient denies any link to her sob), she was scheduled for elective bronchoscopy on day of admission. per ip notes, there was no bloody secretions in the airways, minimal clear secretions and no endobronchial lesions. pt was monitored post procedure without event and was transferred back to the rehab where she and her husband have been living for the last 2 months. on return to rehab, husband was concerned that she was increasingly sob and o2 sats dipped into the 70s. husband spoke with dr. who recommended returning to the ed for evaluation. . in the ed, initial vs were: t 100.1 p 101 bp 141/54 r 24 o2 sat 96%. patient underwent a cxr which was essentially unchanged with possible retrocardiac opacity. she was given vanc/levofloxacin, albuterol and ipratropium for possible pna. cultures/coags were not sent as she was a difficult stick. hct was notably down from recent baseline and was positive with brown stool. pt denied any brbpr or hematemesis and was given iv ppi. she was cross matched for blood and gi was notified. pt was ultimately admitted to the icu for tachypnea and o2 requirement. . on arrival to the icu, pt was tachypneic but completing full sentences and not appearing to be in any distress. there were no events and she was transferred to the floor the next day. on the floor, she is resting comfortably on 4l, speaking full sentences, though becoming sob with minimal exertion (such as sitting forward for lung exam) and with occasional cough. she denies any dizziness, chest pain, palpitations, nausea, or vomiting. . review of sytems: she was denying cp, palpitations, pnd, orthopnea, lightheadedness, tingling, numbness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or brbpr. she has baseline dark stools due to iron replacement and this remains unchanged. she denies fevers, uri or congestion but reports general decline in resp status over the last 6 wks and feels sob has gradually worsened with some increased cough with scant hemoptysis since episode of epistaxis. past medical history: #s/p

thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (lvef= 45 %). there is no ventricular septal defect. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with depressed free wall contractility. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. a bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis is present. the mitral prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , the lvef is slightly lower. . ct chest: 1)severe emphysema combined with pulmonary fibrosis is most likely due to the syndrome of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (cpfe)with no acute pathology. 2)stable enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and severe cardiomegaly brief hospital course: ***discharged to rehab and she can be reached at *** 74 y/o f with pmhx of end stage lung disease who presents with subacute worsening in baseline hypoxia and anemia. # dyspnea: the etiology of mrs. acute worsening of her chronic dyspnea was not clear, but the differential at admission included bronchospasm s/p bronch, acs, respiratory infection, ipf flare, acute anemia, and chf. she was weaned back to baseline o2 within an hour in icu. she was clinically euvolemic with tte unchanged, troponin peak 0.09, which trended down; ekg changes in absence of symptoms thought to be due to lvh with strain in the setting of acute hematocrit drop. given the history of increased cough and sputum production with no acute process on chest ct, sputum positive for gpc and gnr (likely colonization, but possibly bronchitis), she was treated empirically for copd exacerbation with levofloxacin (completed 6 day course) and rapid prednisone taper to chronic 10mg dose. we would recommend a discussion regarding goals of care and long-term progression of her disease with her primary team during follow-up. . # anemia: hematocrit 24.7 on admission. patient is maintained on chronic ferrous sulfate and epoetin for anemia of chronic disease with a history of transfusion requirements at times of bleeding, including epistaxis. stools were guaiac positive, but there was no evidence of active bleeding on admission, the patient was hemodynamically stable, and she has no history of brisk gi bleed. given poorly compensated resp status, she was transfused 1 rbc unit in the icu, and she bumped 24-->27. stable coags. she was seen by ent, who felt there was no need for intervention and recommended nasal saline. she was also seen by gi, but declined egd and colonoscopy to evaluate for source of bleeding. during the admission there was no evidence of active bleeding and her hct remained stable at 25, with slow upward trend. epoetin was due (but not given) . . # anticoagulation (s/p mechanical mvr in 99): inr was 2.3 on admission. baseline warfarin dose is 5mg. icu re-started coumadin at 2.5 mg given that patient received levofloxacin in the ed. on the floor, the patient was covered with lmwh given subtherapeutic inr, and warfarin dose was increased to baseline 5mg. dofetilide was continued at home-dose. . # af/aflutter s/p pcm for sick sinus node: pt followed by dr. , maintained on dofetilide, anticoagulated with coumadin. her heart rate remained ~80 throughout the admission. . # systolic chf: baseline ef 40-45%, though denies any symptoms of volume overload and appears clinically dehydrated on exam with mildly elevated creatinine. continued spironolactone and held bumex initially given that patient was hypovolemic-euvolemic on exam. patient continued to appear euvolemic throughout admission, and bumex was restarted at 2mg po bid upon discharge. . # hypertension: amlodipine 5mg daily was

**not reviewed by attending** name: , unit no: service: date: date of birth: sex: m surgeon: , preoperative diagnoses: acetabular fracture, posterior wall, significantly comminuted. postoperative diagnoses: acetabular fracture, posterior wall, significantly comminuted. procedure: open reduction internal fixation of left posterior wall acetabular fracture. indications for procedure: mr. is a 65 year- old gentleman who was involved in a motor vehicle accident, resulting in the above injury. he now presents for operative fixation. special considerations: this is an extremely difficult case. the posterior wall was comminuted in at least 5 major parts with significant amounts of moderate impaction requiring subchondral grafting. the case merits billing under modified 22 considerations. the case was made difficult given the amount of comminution and need for impaction grafting and the need for double plating of the posterior wall, in addition to placement of lag screws to secure fixation. procedure in detail: the patient was brought to the operating room and after successful induction of general anesthesia, he was placed in the supine position and then transferred to the lateral decubitus position with the left side up. after prepping and draping the gluteal region and leg, the fracture was exposed via a approach. the external rotators were identified, tagged and cut. the quadratus was preserved. the sciatic nerve was visualized and protected throughout the procedure by keeping the knee flexed and the hip extended. there were significant amounts of hematoma given the dislocated nature of the joint during the trauma. the fracture fragments of the posterior wall were identified and were found to be numerous. they were preserved with their attachments in order to preserve the vascularity. the amount of clot and interposed soft tissue was aggressively debrided and the wound was lavaged with pulsed irrigation. there were significant amounts of longitudinal impaction which was elevated with a and then grafted with 30 cc of cancellous chips. single layer of fracture fragments were reduced and held in position with k wires and then with lag screws of the 3.5 mm cortical variety. subsequently, two 3.5 mm reconstruction plates were contoured and applied to the posterior wall in a buttress manner. fluoroscopy in the ap as well as oblique and anteriorly were used to confirm that the fixation was appropriate. no screws were angled into the joint. the patient's range of motion and stability was acceptable. the wound was then copiously irrigated and closed in layers with vicryl sutures. ethibond sutures were used to repair the external rotators. staples were placed in the skin. the wound was covered with sterile dressings. the patient will be given postoperative precautions and touch-down weight bearing only. dr. was present for the entire procedure. , md dictated by: 09:50pm type-art po2-83* pco2-52* ph-7.34* total co2-29 base xs-0

past medical history: 1. hypertension. 2. angina. 3. myocardial infarction. past surgical history: hernia repair in the past. family history: pertinent for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction in her family as well as a brother who had stomach cancer and her mother had complications from a hysterectomy. social history: she smoked cigarettes, one-half a pack per day, for 50 years, stopped approximately 10-12 years prior to admission. she does not drink alcohol. admission medications: 1. atenolol. 2. dexamethasone. 3. nitrostat. 4. multivitamin. 5. calcium. allergic: the patient is allergic to aspirin and it has made her bleed in the past. review of systems: negative for a skin rash, head, eyes, ears, nose and throat symptoms, other than the history of present illness, neck, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or musculoskeletal symptoms. her weight at the time of admission was 92-94 pounds and her height was 5' 2". physical examination on admission: the vital signs were within normal limits with a blood pressure of 190/94 consistent with hypertensive disease, but she was on atenolol, heart rate 72. the neck was supple. no carotid bruits noted. no lymphadenopathy. the cardiac examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm. the lungs were clear. the abdomen was soft. the extremities showed no clubbing, cyanosis or edema. the neurological examination revealed that she was awake, alert, and oriented times three. no right or left confusion or finger agnosia. language was fluent, good comprehension, naming and repetition. cranial nerve examination revealed that the pupils were equal and reactive to light, 3 mm to 2 mm bilaterally equal. the extraocular movements were full. visual field examination showed an incongruous left-sided field cut, worse in the left eye than the right. the funduscopic examination revealed sharp disk margins bilaterally with spontaneous venous pulsations. the face was symmetric. facial sensation was intact. the tongue was midline. palate up in the midline. sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius were strong. the motor examination showed a drift of the right upper extremity but no pronation. her muscle strength was in all muscle groups except for the right iliac psoas which was 4+/5. muscle tone was normal. the deep tendon reflexes were 2+ bilaterally except for absence of bilateral ankle jerks. her right great toe is equivocal while the left is downgoing. the sensory examination was intact to touch and proprioception and gait was hemiparetic in the right leg. she did not have a romberg at that time. hospital course: due to the clinical findings, the patient was seen as an outpatient previously by dr. and, therefore, admitted and taken to the operating room on the morning of where under general endotracheal anesthetic the patient underwent a right occipital craniotomy and excision of tumor. frozen section at the time raised the question of it being a metastatic lesion as opposed to the previous thought of it being a primary brain tumor. the patient tolerated the procedure quite well overnight in the pacu and was subsequently transferred to the floor. however, on the floor, on at 9:30 p.m. the patient experienced a syncopal episode. she got up to go to the bathroom with the help of her daughter and began to feel weak at that time. her vital signs were checked and considered stable when she was seen and it was considered that she probably had a likely vasovagal episode. her hematocrit at the time was 29.2, white count 14.3, platelets 245,000. however, her sodium was 129 with potassium of 4.4, chloride 96, c02 23, bun and creatinine within normal limits, and blood sugar 298. ck 80 and ck mbs were pending at that time and were unremarkable when completed. due to the hematocrit of 29.2, a decision was made to transfuse if the hematocrit fell less than 29 and the patient remained stable then until later on , at which time she complained of an episode of chest discomfort which was accompanied by ekg changes in the evening. she stated that she was brushing her teeth at around 9:00 p.m. in the evening, at which point she began to experience squeezing epigastric discomfort, in intensity, radiating to the left arm and accompanied by shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and diaphoresis. she was seen in consultation by the cardiology service for this and she was placed on telemetry with cycling of the cardiac enzymes at that time. her course was subsequently complicated by some coffee ground emesis and drainage on a ng tube and she was seen by the gi service for an upper gi bleed. she subsequently underwent endoscopy which identified the source of bleeding on endoscopy. she was transferred to the surgical icu for stabilization. hematocrit at that time was 30.9, platelets 127,000, white count 12.6. the chem-7 was within normal limits. pt 13.5, inr 1.3, ptt 26.1 and cpk of 59. she remained neurologically intact, awake, alert, and oriented times three. the pupils were equal and reactive. she was following all commands and moving all extremities. she was subsequently stabilized in the unit and later transferred back out to the floor on . the patient then was seen in consultation by the thoracic surgery service after a ct scan of the chest and abdomen revealed lung masses as well as an adrenal mass. this raised the question of a high likelihood of a metastatic lung lesion as the primary source of the brain tumor and arrangements were made for the patient to undergo a fine-needle aspiration and biopsy at a subsequent hospitalization. the remainder of this patient's postoperative hospitalization was otherwise essentially unremarkable. she was subsequently discharged home on the afternoon of with follow-up to see dr. in the clinic in approximately one weeks time. she was given a tapering dose of steroids as well as a prescription for analgesics. arrangements were made for further follow-up with the consulting services. condition on discharge: stable and improved. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Other operations on extraocular muscles and tendons Other excision or destruction

cbd stone/debris. 2. two ovoid foci of high-attenuation in the pancreatic neck raising possibility of hemorrhagic lesions vs partially calcified lesion. no pancreatic ductal dilatation. differential considerations include hemorrhagic metastases versus hemorrhagic pseudocyst vs amorphous calcification/debris in pancreatic duct, although no ductal dilatation. further evaluation with mrcp is advised. 3. mediastinal and retroperiteonal lymphadenopathy, raising the possibility of an underlying hematological/lymphomatous malignancy vs. metastases, although not typical presentation for pancreatic metastases. close interval followup and further clinical evaluation is recommended. . echocardiogram: the left atrium is markedly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (lvef>55%). due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved global biventricular systolic function. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , biventricular systolic function is improved. . head ct: there are a number of small foci of diminished density within the white matter of both cerebral hemispheres, most evident in the left frontal periventricular white matter and more distinctly within the left lentiform nucleus, and to a lesser extent, the right lentiform nucleus. there is a probable punctate focus of diminished density within the right cerebellar hemisphere. while nonspecific in etiology, given patient age, chronic small vessel infarction would appear the most likely diagnosis. there is no hydrocephalus or shift of normally midline structures. there is mild peripheral cerebral atrophy. there is heavy atherosclerotic calcification of the cavernous internal carotid arteries, and to a moderate extent, the distal vertebral arteries at the level of the foramen magnum. the surrounding osseous and extracranial soft tissues reveal mild air-fluid levels within the sphenoid sinus, as well as mild bilateral ethmoid sinus mucosal thickening, likely representing effects of intubation. multiple metal staples are seen in the right frontal scalp, at the site of the former bolt insertion. conclusion: no intracranial hemorrhage. probable chronic small-vessel infarction. . bilat lower ext veins: no deep venous thrombosis involving the right or left lower extremity. . tube cholangiogram/chalnagiography: cholangiogram performed through the existing biliary catheter showed the catheter to be in a satisfactory position and draining well. there was no evidence of any bile duct obstruction seen. a minor adjustment was made to the catheter position by pushing it in by about a centimeter. brief hospital course: the patient was transferred from an osh and was admitted to the general surgical service in the sicu on for spetic shock and cholangitis. in the emergency department, he was made npo and intubated, intensive fluid rescusitation was initiated, a foley catheter was placed, initially started on levophed and neomycin in ed changed to neo and vassopressin for pressure support, lines placed, and started on empiric iv vancomycin and zosyn. abdominal ct revealed high density material in the cbd and projecting over the pancreatic neck and body, question of stones, calcification. mild biliary dilation, without other acute abnormalities to explain patients clinical condition. cardiology consulted; felt that ekg changes and troponin leak indicative of likely demand ischemia due to septic picture. recommended echo, diuresis, hold off on cardioversion. patient takes coumadin at home for history of atrial fibrillation, arriving with inr 2.9. recieved a total of 8 units of ffp in preparation for percutaneous transhepatic biliary drain (ptbd) placement in interventional radiology. on , the patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram, placement of an 8 french internal-external locking right percutaneous biliary drain, and post-tube placement cholangiogram. ptbd was placed to gravity drainage. transfer to inpatient unit occurred on . . neuro: upon return from or for ptc placement, he was noted to have fixed and dilated right pupil. he was intubated, sedated and still hemodynamically very unstable so a head ct was unable to be obtained at this point. neurology and, subsequently, neurosurgery were consulted for evluation of pupilary findings. an icp monitor bolt placed with an opening icp of 20mm. when re-examined the next morning, pupils were small and reactive. on , the bolt was removed, and a head ct performed, which showed no intracranial hemorrhage, but probable chronic small-vessel infarction. he remined neurologically intact. the patient received fentanyl prn in the sicu with good effect. when transferred to the inpatient floor, he was nolonger experiencing any pain, and did not require pain medications other than acetaminophen prn. . cv: upon admission, the patient required three pressors to maintain hemodynamic stablitiy. cardiology was consulted for uncontrolled atrial fibrillatio, and the patient was started on a diltiazen drip. weaned off pressors on . diltiazem was transitioned to metorpolol with the patient ultimately stable on 125mg po bid. warfarin was restarted on , but discontinued on . held for tunneled hd catheter placement. coumadin restarted at 2mg in the evening. pt/inr should be checked daily at rehab facility until therapeutic; inr goal 2.5 with a therapeutic range of . once on the floor, the patient's other anti-hypertensive and diuretic medications were restarted. he remained cardiovascularly stable. . pulmonary: upon admission, the patient was intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation for need of aggressive fluid rescusitation and hemodynamic instability. he became fluid overloaded, which responded well to cvvh diuresis, with resultant improvement in respiratory status. he was extubated on without problem. thereafter, the patient remained stable from a pulmonary standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. good pulmonary toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirrometry were encouraged throughout hospitalization. . gi/gu/fen: upon admission, the patient was made npo with iv fluids. on , he was started on cvvh after placement of a temporary hd catheter. on , he was negative 1300ml via cvvh diuersis. he was doing very well with cvvh with up to 20kg of fluid removed, close to dry weight. began recovering some renal function with excellent urine output, albeit with lasix. overall, he tolerating continuous renal replacement therapy (crrt) well. he had experienced respiratory alkalosis on , which compensated with metabolic acidosis crrt fluid changed to bb32. a dobhoff was placed, and tubefeeds started on , which were continued until , when discontinued and the dobhoff removed. the patient underwent a swallow evaluation, and was started on a renal diet on /201, which he tolerated. patient's intake and output were closely monitored, and iv fluid was adjusted when necessary. electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when necessary. renal felt that the patient was experiencing acute renal failure in the context of a history of mild chronic renal insufficiency and acute spetic shock. it is expected that hemodialysis will be a temporary intervention, and that recovery to baseline can be expected. final renal recomemendations were enclosed with the patient's discharge inforamtion. the ptbd was capped on , which was well tolerated without abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or fever. he will be discharged with the capped ptbd. in 1 month, the patient will have a repeat ptbd cholangiogram with possible diliation as an outpatient. potential discontinuation of the ptbd will be determined at future follow-up with dr. . . id: admitted with septic shock, with blood culture at osh with strep bovis/clostridium clostriforme, blood cultures here were negative. was started on meropenem/vancomcyin. infectious disease service consulted. bile cultures with polymicrobial organisms. changed to ceftriaxone and flagyl. then changed to unasyn alone to treat the s. bovis, clostridium, and the bacteroides in the bile culture. the patient's white blood count and fever curves were closely watched for signs of infection. staples on scalp from previous bolt removed prior to discharge. . endocrine: given his acute renal failure, home metformin was stopped, and the patient was placed on an insulin regimen. the diabetes service was consulted. the patient's blood sugar was monitored throughout his stay; insulin dosing was adjusted accordingly. at the time of discharge, the patient was receiving lantus 20units qhs plus sliding scale insulin with good glycemic control. . hematology: while hospitalized, the patient received 10 units of ffp, most of which were given initially upon admission to correct his inr before emergent ptbd placement. other units were given prior to invasive procedures, such as tunneled hd catheter placement. he received 1 unit prbcs on for a hct 23.0/hgb 7.4 during cvvh. he was started on erythropoietin as part of his dialysis regimen. pre-discharge hct 23.9 /hgb 8.1 on for which one unit was transfussed during dialysis prior to discharge. . prophylaxis: the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay; was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. . at the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. the patient was tolerating his renal diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and was not experiencing any significant pain. he was discharged to an extended care facility with inhouse hd capabilities for rehabilitation. the patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan. medications on admission: asa 81 mg daily lisinopril 5mg daily metformin 1000 mg creon protonix 40 mg daily simvastatin 40 mg daily amlodipine 10 mg

beta blocker and ace inhibitor therapy were held. in order to resuscitate the patient during his hypotensive episode, he received over one and a half liters of intravenous fluid. this resulted in a second congestive heart failure exacerbation. he was diuresed in the medical intensive care unit. he came up to the regular medicine floor with his heart failure relatively well compensated. he continued to be on aspirin, ace inhibitor and undergo gentle diuresis with intravenous lasix. on , the patient had an episode of hypotension. he responded to a fluid bolus. in light of his hemodynamic instability, lasix, beta blocker, ace inhibitor therapy were held. problem #3, hematuria: the patient underwent dramatic foley catheter insertion at an outside hospital. upon presentation, he was noted to have gross hematuria. urology consultation was obtained. they recommended initiating continuous bladder irrigation as well as renal ultrasound. renal ultrasound was within normal limits. the patient could not be taken off his aspirin and plavix anti platelet therapy in light of his recent coronary stent, approximately one week prior to admission. throughout his hospital course, he was continued on continuous bladder irrigation with frequent urology follow-up. his urine remained pink-tinged for the first ten days of his hospital course. his urine began to clear somewhat and the patient underwent a trial of time off continuous bladder irrigation and removal of his foley catheter. however, this was complicated by an inability of the patient to void. this then required further urology follow-up and replacement of foley catheter. status post replacement of his foley catheter, the patient drained several 100 cc of dark, red, blood tinged urine with several large clots. he was, therefore, continued again on continuous bladder irrigation. he continued to have persistent hematuria. his hematocrit values were monitored with serial blood draws. he required several blood transfusions to keep his hematocrit greater than 30. ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained to rule out any upper urinary tract abnormality and it was negative. -max 5 mg p.o. q. day was added to his medication regimen. on , the patient underwent cystoscopy by the urology service. results of cystoscopy and the patient's postoperative course will be dictated as a separate addendum to this report. problem #4, acute on chronic renal failure: the patient had a history of baseline chronic renal insufficiency with a baseline creatinine of 1.3 to 1.4. upon admission, however, his creatinine value was elevated to 1.6. it was felt that this is likely secondary to poor forward flow, due to his congestive heart failure state. initially, ace inhibitor therapy was held. his creatinine value decreased somewhat as he was diuresed and his congestive heart failure was better compensated. status post his episode of hypotension requiring medical intensive care unit admission, the patient had a second bump of his creatinine, also postulated to be secondary to poor forward flow/hypo perfusion. as his cardiac issues were further managed, his creatinine value returned closer to his baseline. problem #5: septic shock: as detailed above, on the evening of , the patient had an episode of hypoxia with oxygen saturation values in the low 80's, accompanied by decreased systolic blood pressure to 60's over 30's. he failed to respond to 1,700 cc of fluid bolus. he was symptomatic with this blood pressure, complaining of dizziness and light headedness. he was evaluated by the medical intensive care unit team and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further therapy. their swan-ganz catheter placement showed elevated filling pressures but also demonstrated a peripheral vascular resistance of 533, consistent with distributive shock. at this time, the patient was also noted to be febrile with a white count as well as a lactate level. it was felt that he was in septic shock with suspected genitourinary source, given his history of multiple instrumentation the last couple of weeks with admission. he started on levophed for blood pressure support. he was pan cultured. data from urine culture was not available as it was misprocessed by the laboratory. blood cultures failed to grow out any organism. he was covered empirically with zosyn. anti hypertensive therapies were held in light of his hemodynamic insufficiency. cortisol level was checked and it was low, indicative of a slightly adrenal suppressed state. status post pressor support and fluid resuscitation, along with antibiotic therapy, the patient's blood pressure improved. he was transferred out to the floor on . there, however, he remained relatively hypotensive for him; therefore, his antihypertensive drugs were not restarted. problem #6, diabetes mellitus: throughout admission, the patient maintained labile blood glucose levels. initially, his insulin regimen was cut in half, compared to his home dose regimen, as he had several evenings of being n.p.o. in prep for possible procedures. however, even with this lower dose regimen, he had episodes of hypoglycemia requiring dextrose and juice administration. he was continued on a consistent carbohydrate diet with four times a day finger stick blood glucose testing, as well as regular insulin sliding scale. his oral hypoglycemic glyburide 5 mg p.o. twice a day was continued. multiple changes in his insulin regimen were undertaken during this admission. please refer to the following addendum to this report for the patient's current insulin dosage at the time of discharge. problem #7, code status: full. please note that the remainder of the hospital course as well as his discharge instructions, and the diagnoses will be dictated as a separate addendum to this report. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Non-invasive mechanical ventilation Pulmonary artery wedge monitoring Other genitourinary instillation Insertion of indwelling urinary catheter Other transurethral excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of bladder Transurethral clearance of bladder Injection or infusion of nesiritide Diagnoses: Acute kidney failure with lesion of tubular necrosis Congestive heart failure, unspecified Other pulmonary insufficiency, not elsewhere classified Unspecified septicemia Septic shock Injury to bladder and urethra, without mention of open wound into cavity Diabetes with neurological manifestations, type I [juvenile type], not stated as uncontrolled Other specified types of cystitis
history of present illness: the patient is an 87-year-old female who was a pedestrian struck by a car at approximately 40 miles per hour. she had a loss of consciousness documented approximately 20 minutes. she was intubated at the scene and was transferred to emergency department via life flight. she was hypotensive during transport and was given intravenous fluids. past medical history: unknown at the time of presentation. per family, hypertension. past surgical history: rhinoplasty times two. medications on admission: the patient takes a hypertensive medication, the name of which is unknown. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. physical examination on presentation: the patient arrived intubated with sedation and perlitic medications on board. vital signs revealed her temperature was 97, her blood pressure was 120/69, her heart rate was 50, her respiratory rate was 18, intubated with 100% saturation. her head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination showed periorbital swelling of the left eye with a sluggish pupillary reaction to light, from 4 mm to 3 mm. the right eye was reactive to light from 3 mm to 2 mm. the patient had an obvious laceration across her left eyelid which superficial in nature. she had a large central forehead laceration with tissue deficit and rectalis muscle exposure. there were no obvious stepoffs of her facial bone. her tympanic membranes were clear bilaterally. the tongue was midline. airway was confirmed with visualization of the tube through the cords. she had a regular rate and rhythm. there were no murmurs. she had clear breath sounds to auscultation bilaterally. there were no obvious deformities of her chest. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. there were positive bowel sounds. however, there were multiple superficial abrasions across her belly; consistent with "road rash." her pelvis appeared stable to palpation. the cervical and thoracolumbosacral spine had no obvious deformities or stepoff. she was guaiac-negative with good rectal tone. there were obvious deformities of the bilateral lower extremities with ecchymoses and swelling of both knees. she had 2+ radial pulses bilaterally, and 2+ femoral pulses bilaterally, and she had 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: white blood cell count was 14, her hematocrit was 22, and her platelets were 181. chemistry-7 was unremarkable. the patient had an inr of 1.2. pertinent radiology/imaging: a computed tomography on admission showed no intracranial hemorrhage. a computed tomography of the cervical spine showed degenerative changes; no acute changes. a chest computed tomography was negative. an abdominal and pelvic computed tomography showed superior and inferior rami fracture with right pelvic hematoma and a right sacral ala fracture. thoracolumbosacral films showed a l1 compression fracture. bilateral femur films showed a right tibia/fibula fracture, a right pubic fracture, and a left tibial plateau fracture. summary of hospital course: the patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit in an intubated condition. she required neurologic checks and serial hematocrit checks. on hospital day two, it was noted that her hematocrit had reached a level of 26.5, and she received 2 units of packed red blood cells. she was re-scanned to determine where the bleeding was coming from, and it was found that she had bilateral intraventricular hemorrhages and a parietal subarachnoid hematoma. it was also noted that the pelvic hematoma, though initially small, was expanding in size. angiography of the pelvic arteries was performed, and one small arterial branch was embolized with gelfoam. neurosurgery was monitoring for evaluation of her intracranial head bleeds. tight blood pressure control, as well as glycemic control, and inr parameters were maintained while the patient was in the intensive care unit. a follow-up head computed tomography showed no increase in the bleeding. the patient was awakened each day from sedation and was found to be moving all extremities. neurosurgery also assisted the clearance of her cervical spine, and a magnetic resonance imaging of the entire spine was obtained. her cervical spine was subsequently cleared. as the patient was going to the operating room for orthopaedic repair, bolt was placed for intracranial pressure monitoring on hospital day three and was taken out on hospital day six. the intracranial pressure was noted to be within normal limits. no operative intervention was found to be needed for the patient's intracranial hemorrhage. orthopaedics was consulted for the patient's multiple pelvic and lower extremity fractures. they recommended open reduction and internal fixation of these fractures. this occurred on hospital day four, as the patient's hemodynamic status needed to be stabilized. in addition, her neurosurgical issues took precedence at that time. on , on hospital day four, the patient went to the operating room for open reduction/internal fixation of bilateral tibial plateau fractures as well as open reduction/internal fixation of the left intercondylar lateral femur fracture. please see the operative report for full details. the operation occurred without any complications, and intracranial pressure was monitored with bolt as mentioned previously. as the patient was unable to be anticoagulated given her pelvic and intracranial bleeding, and inferior vena cava filter was placed on hospital day three. a week out from her injuries, and when it was determined her intracranial hemorrhage was stable, the patient was able to be started on lovenox for anticoagulation, and the inferior vena cava filter was discontinued on (on hospital day 13). per orthopaedics, the patient is in braces to both extremities on a continuous passive motion machine bilaterally. she was to be nonweightbearing for an extended period of time, which will be determined specifically at her outpatient appointment with her orthopaedic doctor (dr. ) in two weeks after discharge. there was no operative repair of her pelvic fractures. plastic surgery was consulted for repair of her deep facial lacerations which included a central forehead laceration with tissue deficit and exposure of the rectalis muscle. the repair of this occurred in the operating room at the same time that the orthopaedic procedure was taking place with galea undermining and suturing of the laceration. she also had sutures placed at the bedside over her left eyelid with good approximation and repair. an ophthalmology consultation was obtained given the left periorbital swelling and asymmetry of the left pupil. this was thought to be due to a direct blow to the orbit region rather than any intracranial etiology. ophthalmology documented corneal abrasions, no entrapment, and recommended prophylactic antibiotic ointments and eyedrops. a spinal service consultation was obtained for evaluation of the patient's l1 compression fracture. the magnetic resonance images of this region were reviewed. the patient was fitted for a lumbosacral brace, which she is to wear at all times except when she is supine. in addition, the spinal service was consulted for the patient's right upper extremity weakness which was thought to be related to her cervical stenosis and spondylosis. this right upper extremity weakness was brought to the doctors' attention after the patient was extubated. it was thought that it is an acute-on-chronic exacerbation. recommendation was made for the patient to consider cervical decompression at a future date when she is fully recovered from this current incident. the orthopaedic spine doctors spoke with the patient about this. as they were following her for her lumbar fracture, they will be able to readdress this issue when she sees them for followup. the patient was extubated on hospital day seven; however, this proved to be unsuccessful, and the patient needed reintubation approximately two hours later due to coughing and subjective feeling of being unable to breathe. a chest x-ray was performed, and it was thought that the patient was too fluid overloaded to sustain spontaneous breathing. she was aggressively diuresed and then successfully extubated on hospital day ten. while in the intensive care unit, the patient became febrile and was pan-cultured. it was determined that she had a urinary tract infection which was positive for pseudomonas. the patient was started on levofloxacin, and the foley was changed, and she became afebrile. condition at discharge: the patient was discharged in stable condition. at the time of discharge, she was hemodynamically stable. alert and oriented times three. eating solid foods, though of a soft consistency; as she is edentulous. she is nonweightbearing of the lower extremities and had a foley in place. discharge disposition: to an extended care facility. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was to be nonweightbearing for a lengthy period of time; to be determined by her orthopaedic (dr. with whom she will follow up with two weeks after her discharge date. 2. the patient was instructed to continue with continuous passive motion machine of the bilateral lower extremities and wear her braces to her bilateral lower extremities. 3. given her

swelling. rule out dvt. right upper extremity ultrasound: grayscale, spectral, and color doppler analysis of the right internal jugular vein, subclavian vein, axillary vein, brachial veins, cephalic vein, and basilic vein was performed. picc catheter is seen in one of the brachial veins. there is normal flow, compressibility, augmentation, and waveforms in the right jugular vein, axillary vein, and brachial veins. no evidence of thrombus in the basilic or cephalic veins. impression: no evidence of right upper extremity dvt. medical condition: 71 year old man s/p mvr reason for this examination: please place picc indication for exam: this is a 71-year-old man status post mvr, needs iv access. radiologists: the procedure was performed by drs. and , the attending radiologist who was present and supervising throughout the procedure. procedure and findings: since no suitable veins were visible, ultrasound was used to identify the right basilic vein, which was patent and compressible. the right arm of the patient was then prepped and draped in standard sterile fashion. after injection of 5 cc of 1% lidocaine, 21-gauge needle was advanced into the right basilic vein under ultrasonographic guidance. hard copies of the images before and after the venipuncture were obtained. a 0.018 guidewire was then advanced through the needle into the distal part of the svc under fluoroscopic guidance. the needle was then exchanged for a 5 french micropuncture sheath. based on the markers in the guidewire, it was decided that a length of 43 cm would be suitable. the line was then trimmed to this length and advanced over the wire into the distal part of the svc. the wire and the peel-away sheath were then removed. the line was flushed, heplocked and statlocked. a dressing was applied, and final fluoroscopic image of the chest demonstrated tip of the catheter to be located in the distal part of the svc. the patient tolerated the procedure well. impression: successful placement of a 43 cm long double lumen line with the tip in the distal part of the svc. the line is ready for use. technique: ct of the chest, abdomen and pelvis with iv contrast. 130 ml of nonionic contrast were administered. nonionic iv contrast was used due to rapid bolus necessary for this study. ct chest: the patient is status post median sternotomy and near complete removal of the sternum. there is interval placement of an omental flap and closure of the skin. no evidence of new hematoma. a small fluid collection near the left cardiophrenic angle measuring 45 x 22 mm (2:38) appears to be slightly smaller than the previous study from , and also more hypodense. the findings are consistent with a resolving hematoma. the vessels supplying the flap are patent. tiny pericardial effusion unchanged. severe coronary artery calcifications and stents in the coronary arteries. calcifications of the aorta. large bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis, similar to . et tube is located 1-1.5 cm from the carina and could be withdrawn approximately 1 cm. a feeding tube with the tip in the stomach. right ij cordis catheter within the upper right brachiocephalic vein. ct abdomen: small amount of free fluid in the abdomen with simple characteristics. no evidence of hematoma within the abdomen. the liver, spleen, and adrenal glands are within normal limits. the proximal portion of the pancreatic duct is slightly dilated measuring 8 mm, but the distal pancreatic duct is unremarkable. this is of unknown clinical significance. multiple hypodense areas in the kidneys bilaterally, likely representing cysts. some of the hypodense areas are too small to be characterized. no retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. multiple surgical clips in the regions of the harvesting of the omentum. small periportal nodes do not meet ct criteria for pathology. multiple nodules in the subcutaneous tissues in the anterior abdominal wall, likely from medication injection. ct pelvis: there is malposition with the foley catheter likely with the balloon in the urethra. (2:123.) the rectum, urinary bladder, distal ureters, intrapelvic bowel loops are unremarkable. small amount of simple free fluid in the pelvis. bone windows: there are degenerative changes of the spine, but no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions. healing fracture of the right twelfth rib. impression: 1. no reason to explain dropping hematocrit. 2. resolving left cardiophrenic hematoma. 3. viable flap. 4. large bilateral pleural effusions and associated atelectasis. the pleural effusions have simple characteristics and are unchanged since prior study. 5. hypodense areas in the kidneys likely representing cysts, but some are too small to be characterized. 6. mild dilatation of the central portion of the pancreatic duct measuring up to 8 mm of unclear significance. correlate with history of simple ascites. be sinus bradycardia with left atrial abnormality but consider also ectopic atrial rhythm low qrs voltage prolonged q-tc interval clinical correlation is suggested since previous tracing of , sinus tachycardia absent read by: , w. intervals axes rate pr qrs qt/qtc p qrs t 49 0 94 546/514 0 11 28 mri head impression: 1. right occipital lobe lesion as described above, of uncertain etiology. the intense restricted diffusion may suggest a small involving infarction with surrounding hemorrhage. given the patient's history of sepsis, an abscess is also possible. 2. areas of susceptibility artifact seen scattered throughout both cerebral hemispheres suggestive of amyloid angiopathy. multiple cavernomoas is an alternative diagnosis. 3. subgaleal fluid collection over the left temporal bone- etiology uncertain. 4. mr no stenosis or aneurysm centrally. evaluation for a mycotic aneurysm is unsatisfactory, as there is no clear visualization of the distal intracranial arterial vasculature, which is the usual locale for mycotic aneurysms. tee pre-bypass: the left atrium is normal in size. no thrombus/mass is seen in the body of the left atrium. a patent foramen ovale is present. a left-to-right shunt across the interatrial septum is seen at rest. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. the remaining left ventricular segments contract normally. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is mild global right ventricular free wall hypokinesis. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. there are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. a bioprosthetic mitral valve prosthesis is present. the motion of the mitral valve prosthetic leaflets appears normal. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is a small pericardial effusion with no evidence of tamponade. brief hospital course: 71 year old male admitted from outside hospital with mitral valve endocarditis, r pca infarcts, and atn for preop evaluation. he underwent preoperative workup including cardiac catherization and infectious disease consult. cardiac catherization mild single vessel coronary artery disease. he received hydration and creatinine was monitored closely. on he was brought to the operating room and underwent mitral valve replacement #27mm porcine valve. please see operative report for further details. he was transferred to the cardiac surgery recovery unit requiring vasopressors and blood products. he returned to the operating room that evening due to bleeding and widened mediastinum. he returned to the csru and postoperative day 1 he was weaned from vasopressors and sedation. he awoke and responded to voice, weaned to pressure support. on postoperative day 2 he was extubated, chest tubes removed, and transferred to the floor. he continued to progress but on postoperative day 4 he was in atrial fibrillation with hypotension and returned to the csru for monitoring and vasopressors. he continued to be in and out of atrial fibrillation and sternal click noted with no drainage. then on postoperative day 8 there was sternal drainage, erythema, and tenderness. he became asystolic, intubated, and returned to the operating room for reexploration . he returned to with open chest on nimbex. plastic surgery was consulted, vac dressing was placed until he was ready for sternal closure. he was weaned off pressors and underwent flap closure . he required returns to the operating room for sternal exploration due to bleeding. he has continued to progress since sedation was weaned and he underwent a tracheostomy due to failure to wean from the ventilator. neuro: required nimbex while chest open, discontinued with closure. weaned off sedation, and has been improving. he is alert, follows commands, and tramadol for pain control pulmonary: he was extubated pod 2 and then reintubated due to cardiac arrest. do to failure to wean he required prolonged ventilation, he had a tracheostomy placed #

v4, t-wave inversions in lead iii. hospital course by systems: 1. for st elevation mi, patient was continued on her nitroglycerin gtt., aspirin, plavix, heparin, and integrilin. the patient was taken to the catheterization laboratory emergently, where a cardiac catheterization was performed. the results of the catheterization were as follows: patient had one vessel coronary artery disease in the lad that revealed tubular 90% mid vessel lesion, but otherwise angiographically was normal. patient had mild systolic ventricular dysfunction, mild diastolic ventricular dysfunction, her lvedp was 18. her right sided filling pressures were normal at 10 ml hg. patient was stented in the mid lad and the procedure was performed without complications. post catheterization the patient was weaned off her nitroglycerin gtt., but was maintained on heparin. approximately four hours post catheterization, patient continued to have vagal responses with hypotension into the 90/50 range, and nausea and emesis. later she complained of back pain. patient underwent an emergent noncontrast ct of her abdomen and pelvis, which revealed a large extraperitoneal hemorrhage displacing the urinary bladder to the left tracking along the right psoas muscle. patient was emergently brought up to the floor and was transfused 2 units of blood in the setting of a hematocrit drop from 36.1 to 31.7. during infusion of blood, patient was noted to hypotense to 70/40, and developed some dizziness. she was put in the reverse trendelenburg. a femoral line was placed. patient was given aggressive hydration with fluid and was transferred to the ccu. in the ccu, the patient received another unit of blood. her hematocrit stabilized at approximately 34-35. patient had no further evidence of bleeding. she had no further episodes of hypotension. patient also underwent an ultrasound of her femoral arteries which revealed no evidence of pseudoaneurysm. the patient was maintained in the ccu for 24 hours, where q.4h. hematocrits were drawn and remained stable in the 34-35 range. she was then transferred to the floor for medical management. 2. cad: for coronary artery disease secondary prevention, the patient was maintained on aspirin 325 mg q.d. she was also started on a statin, lipitor 40 mg one p.o. q.d. she was initially maintained on captopril, and on date of discharge changed to lisinopril 5 mg one p.o. q.d. and she was maintained on metoprolol 50 mg one p.o. b.i.d. patient had good blood pressure control in the range of 130s/70-80s with pulse mostly in the 70s-80s. repeat ekgs were performed on the floor, which revealed no acute st-t wave changes or resolution of elevations that were seen on ekg during her st elevation mi. the patient had no further episodes of chest pain, shortness of breath, or epigastric pain during her hospitalization. 3. heme: patient's hematocrit throughout her hospitalization post transfusion of 3 units remained stable in the 34-35 hematocrit range. her hematocrit on discharge was 34.4. 4. thrombocytopenia: during her hospitalization, the patient's platelet count nadired to 144, and it was felt that this thrombocytopenia was likely secondary to consumption in the setting of retroperitoneal bleed. a hit antibody was sent and was pending at the time of discharge. this will need to be followed up by the patient's primary care physician. platelet count did stabilize at 152 and there were no further episodes of thrombocytopenia noted. patient had no evidence of bleeding. 5. gi: patient was maintained on a bowel regimen as well as zofran for nausea. by the time of discharge, patient had no nausea x24 hours, 6. code: patient was a full code. medications on discharge: 1. aspirin 325 one p.o. q.d. 2. plavix 75 mg one p.o.

no significant change. 2) degenerative disease of the left hip, no obvious fracture but due to osteopenia, subtle fractures may be missed and if clinical suspicion persists, an mri could be helpful." . . cardiac cath: "1. coronary arteries had no flow limiting disease. 2. severe diastolic ventricular dysfunction." . . cxr: "status post icd placement with single lead in the right ventricle. no evidence of pneumothorax" . . brief hospital course: a/p: 53yo m with significant alcohol use, narcotic abuse and no significant cardiac history presents with recurrent ventricular arrhythmia s/p vf arrest in the setting of positive tox screen, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. he is transferred for ep evaluation s/p vf cardiac arrest and ef 30-40%. . 1. cv: a). coronaries: pt was without prior history of cad, however he had a high ck on admission which was most likely due to his repeated cardioversions. however with vf and new chf, ischemic causes were ruled out with cardiac catheterization. the cath demonstrated clean coronaries confirming our suspicion regarding the origin of the high ck. the patient was continued on acei (lisinopril 5mg once daily), and bb (atenolol 50mg once daily) and was started on asa. . b). pump: on admission, the patient was clinically found to have significant chf. tte at showed ef 30-40%. cardiac cath demonstrated clean coronaries, making ischemic causes unlikely. this is possibly due to alcohol induced, infectious (hiv pending, hcv positive), narcotic induced, familial, infiltrative or idiopathic or his arrhythmia. this is unlikely to be due to thyroid (tsh of 11 but normal free t4), or hemochromoatosis (normal iron studies). sarcoidosis also can not be excluded but is unlikely given the rest of his clinical history, exam and normal ca. and esr also were wnl. pt was continued on acei and bb during his hospital stay as above. after correction of his electrolytes, and repeated dccv, he was back in nsr and his chf appeared to resolve as well. . c). rhythm: pt presented with vfib arrest in setting of positive thc, bzd with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. this is most likely secondary to electrolyte imbalance from substance abuse. his electrolytes were repleted and the pt was started on amiodarone 400mg tid. he also received an aicd after his cardiac catheterization without any complications. he wa monitored on telemetry during his hospital stay and remained in nsr to sinus tach. at time of discharge, the amiodarone was discontinued as he now had an aicd implanted. in addition, given his hx of thyroid disorder and unknown pulmonary function (but requiring fluticasone and albuterol), amiodarone was deemed unsafe/unnecessary in this setting. at time of discharge he was sent home on clindamycin qid for 6days for prophylaxis (the patient has an allergy to pcn). . . 2. pulm: pt was intubated at osh after his episodes of vfib arrest. he was acutely agitated after conversion to nsr and self extubated himself. he progressively became obtunded with more ventricular ectopy requiring re-intubation at osh. at , he was extubated without complication. after extubation, he was found to have significant wheezing on exam but improved with ih and nebulizers. the patient was continued on fluticasone with albuterol nebulizers. in addition, he was given guaifenesin prn for mucous secretions. at time of discharge, he was given additional prescriptions for the fluticasone and albuterol ih and given explicit instructions to both him and his wife on how to use the ih and spacers effectively. the patient was also instructed to follow up with his pcp regarding and sleep study. . . 3. substance abuse: the patient has a significant substance abuse history and was admitted with positive bzd and thc (cannabinoids) on tox screen. pt also was found to have lft changes consistent with chronic alcohol disease. he was continued on his standing valium 5mg as well as methadone 120mg qd with oxycodone for break through pain (outpatient regimen). his wife and the methadone clinic was contact regarding this regimen which was confirmed. he was monitored on a ciwa scale but did not require additional bzd or additional pain control. . . 4. id: pt had occasional temperature spikes earlier in hospital course and was started on azithromycin for bronchitis. this was switched to cipro 500mg on . he finished a 5day course of abx and was afebrile, without any focal signs of sx of infections. he was discharged on clindamycin qid for 6days (for prophylaxis s/p aicd placement). . . 5. hypothyroidism: continued synthroid dose. . . 6. ms: the patient experienced an episode of vfib arrest with ? period of anoxia. secondary to this significant event, he was found to have some short term memory loss. however at time of discharge, he was found to be fuctional with all adl and iadl. after evaluation by pt and ot, he was cleared to go home with outpatient pt and services. his wife reports there is still some baseline disturbances, but believes he is improving slowly with time. . . 7. fen: folate, thiamine, mvi supplements. replete lytes as above. . . 8. ppx: pt was continued on heparin sub q tid for dvt prophylaxis throughout his hospital course. colace and senna was also given for bowel regimen given opiate use with dulcolax prn. . . 9. code: full code. . medications on admission: synthroid 0.05mg
