was 25 at the nursing home earlier in the day and in was 36. his vital signs on arrival were heart rate of 136, blood pressure 96/60. he had transient drop in his blood pressure to 75/palp. he received 2 liters of intravenous fluids, 3 units of packed red blood cells and given his drop of heart rate into the 100s and systolic blood pressures in 110s to 130s range. an electrocardiogram with normal t waves in leads, 2, 3, avf, v5 and v6. 2 units of packed red blood cells were given and the patient had increasing amounts of melena in his colostomy bag. past medical history: 1. ulcerative

normalized t waves in 2, 3, avf, v5 and v6, left anterior descending coronary artery with poor r wave progression. hospital course: this is an 81 year-old gentleman with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, ulcerative colitis status post colostomy, gastroesophageal reflux disease and dementia here with blood loss anemia and severe esophagitis and hiatal hernia. 1. blood loss anemia: the patient's baseline hematocrit around 36, 25 on admission and received a total of 3 units of packed red blood cells with good response in hematocrit. at the time of discharge hematocrit was 30 after receiving the 3 units of blood otherwise the patient had negative hemolysis workup, iron deficiency and anemia workup and was otherwise stable. the patient eventually went for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy to evaluate for source of bleeding. on esophagogastroduodenoscopy they found evidence of erythema, ulceration and friability in the lower third of the esophagus compatible with severe esophagitis consistent with severe reflux disease. he also had a large hiatal hernia, question whether there was periesophageal versus a sliding hernia. he will go for an upper gastrointestinal study to evaluate this for possible surgical intervention if desired by the patient after study. he also had a question of an angiectasia in the duodenal bulb, but no other active sites of bleeding. secondary to the severe esophagitis the patient was started on a b.i.d. ppi. also plans to start on b.i.d. sucralfate two hours after each ppi dose. also was put on gastroesophageal reflux disease precautions with plans to elevate the head of the bed greater then 20 degrees at all times when sleeping and otherwise was tolerating a regular diet without difficulty. 2. cough/shortness of breath: initially the patient came slightly hypoxic with persistent cough. plans were for the patient to continue a ten day course of levaquin for a presumed pneumonia. the patient's sputum grew out gram positive cocci in pairs and were waiting final sensitivities, however, likely just a community acquired pneumonia and will continue to treat with levaquin for ten days. 3. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the patient was stable and at baseline per his patient. was started back on his home regimen of combivent and zafirlukast and with nebulizers prn, but those were not required and the patient was not requiring oxygen at the time of discharge and otherwise breathing was stable. 4. coronary artery disease status post coronary artery bypass graft: he was ruled out by enzymes and overall doing well. likely had some changes on electrocardiogram related to demand ischemia that resolved after stabilization in the hematocrit. he did have initial complaints of some chest pain, but was either severe heartburn reflux disease versus demand ischemia. the pain resolved after admission and plans were to restart his aspirin ten days after discharge. the patient will continue on his metoprolol. 5. hypertension: the patient's blood pressure remained stable on his home dose of metoprolol. 6. hyperlipidemia: the patient's cholesterol was stable on his statin. 7. depression: the patient was stable on his zoloft and xanax. 8. code: the patient is dnr/dni, which was reconfirmed and his sister is his health care proxy. discharge condition: good. patient ambulating without difficulty, tolerating a regular diet, stable hematocrit. discharge status: discharged to . discharge diagnoses: 1. blood loss anemia. 2. severe esophagitis. 3. gastroesophageal reflux disease. 4. pneumonia. 5. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6. coronary artery disease. 7. hypertension. 8. hyperlipidemia. 9. depression. discharge follow up: the patient is to follow up with his primary care physician in seven to ten days. dr., 11-402 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Other endoscopy of small intestine Transfusion of packed cells Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism

isolated. blood/afb culture (preliminary): no mycobacteria isolated. imaging: ekg: sinus rhythm. consider right atrial abnormality. left ventricular hypertrophy by voltage. prolonged qtc interval is non-specific. correlation is suggested. since the previous tracing of sinus tachycardia is absent and the qtc interval appears longer. ct head: no acute intracranial process. cxr: cardiomegaly without evidence of failure. retrocardiac opacity may reflect atelectasis versus early pneumonia. if needed, a dedicated pa and lateral view may be obtained to better assess. leni: no evidence of dvt in the left lower extremity. transthoracic echo: the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef>75%). the estimated cardiac index is high (>4.0l/min/m2). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. there are filamentous strands on the aortic leaflets consistent with lambl's excresences (normal variant). there is no valvular aortic stenosis. the increased transaortic velocity is likely related to high cardiac output. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. no vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: no vegetations or clinically-significant regurgitant valvular disease seen (good-quality study). hyperdynamic biventricular systolic function. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , right ventricular function now appears quite normal. the other findings are similar. cxr: in comparison with the study of , the lungs are essentially clear and there is no convincing evidence of vascular congestion or pleural effusion. dialysis catheter extends to the cavoatrial junction or into the upper portion of the right atrium. transesophageal echocardiogram: no spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium/left atrial appendage or the body of the right atrium/right atrial appendage. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. a catheter is identified in the superior vena cava and right atrium. the catheter tip is adjacent to the tricuspid valve. there is a small mass on the catheter that likely represents thrombus. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are simple atheroma in the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no definite vegetation/mass is seen on the valves. there is a very small (~2 mm) filamentous structure on the atrial surface of the anterior mitral valve leaflet in some views (see clips 61 and 14) which may represent a lambl's excrescence (an incidental finding) but a vegetation cannot be excluded. impression: small structure of unclear significance on the mitral valve as described above. no abscess seen. mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved biventricular systolic function. catheter in superior vena cava and right atrium with tip adjacent to tricuspid valve with a small mass on the side of the catheter that likely represents thrombus. suggest withdrawing the cathether by 2-3 cm to avoid contact of the tip with the tricuspid valve. simple atheroma in the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta. brief hospital course: 54f with a history of narcotic abuse, esrd on hd, hcv and iddm presenting with acute altered mental status and found to have mrsa bacteremia and infection of prior tunneled hd line. # mrsa bacteremia- she had 1/4 bottles positive for mrsa on admission and was treated with vancomycin. she will require a total 6 week course given tee was unable to rule out endocarditis. patient will receive vancomycin dosed with hd to maintain trough between 15-20. she will be followed by the clinic. # on catheter tip- she was empirically treated with micafungin to complete a 14 day course but left against medical advice prior to completing course. # altered mental status- differential initially included narcotic overdose vs. infection, especially given positive ua from the ed and indwelling tunneled dialysis line. pt was still altered despite resolution of hypoglycemia. the patient was treated with supportive care initially with plan to obtain lp if mental status did not trend towards improvement. over the first 24 hrs, the pts mental status fortunately improved significantly. blood cultures grew gpcs from 1 of 4 bottles, at which time the presumed source was thought to be the hd catheter. ir was contact to remove the old tunneled line and place a new temporary line in the groin. mental status cleared with hd and antibiotics. # pt was initially hypotensive in the icu, thought secondary to possible septic component related to bacteremia/line infection. supported with peripheral levophed initially with gentle bolus ivf hydration to avoid overload given crf. levophed was titrated off and bps remained stable. anti-hypertensives where restarted as the bp recovered. # esrd on hd- missed last dialysis session prior to admission due to diarrheal illness. potassium trended upward over first several days of admission to the icu until pt was able to be dialyzed after the new temporary hd line was placed. her original tunneled line was removed and she received two temporary hd catheters throughout stay for dialysis. she had tunneled line placed the day prior to leaving against medical advice. # home situation: patient with complicated home situation. she reports that her daughter stole from her and left the hospital against medical advice in order to file a police report. she also has a 81 year-old mother who supports her but is not in great health. there was also the question whether if she can manage at home. pt saw the patient while inhouse and thought that the patient would likely benefit from rehab but the patient was not amendable. # dm- she was on an insulin sliding scale while in the hospital. patient left against medical advice. medications on admission: amlodipine 10mg daily nephrocaps daily

________________________________________________________________ blood cx, central line: staphylococcus, coagulase negative. isolated from one set only. corynebacterium species (diphtheroids). brief hospital course: ## abdominal pain: patient initially reported suprapubic pain, and medical team felt this was secondary to possible cystitis. however, by hd #2 pain was mostly isolated to ruq and labs were concerning for pancreatitis. ua significant for > 50 wbc, moderate le and few bacteria, but cx only shows mixed , less likely uti or pyelonephritis. cardiac enzymes elevated, but likely at baseline given renal dysfunction and prior biomarkers in the setting of esrd. an ercp was pursued that showed ulcers in the lower third of the esophagus and erythema and congestion in the duodenal bulb compatible with duodenitis. hiatal hernia. normal biliary tree and complete pancreas divisum. otherwise normal ercp to the third part of the duodenum. patient was started on double dose ppi and will need repeat egd with biopsies after 8weeks of therapy. diet was gradually advanced to regular and abdominal pain much improved. . ## change in ms: improved markedly by hd #2. likely over medication at home with methadone, ativan and seroquel. given persistent nausea, there was some concern for benzo withdrawal. patient was placed on a ciwa but did not require any administration. . ## svt: on , patient was found on routine vitals check to have tachycardia to the 130s. ekg was consistent with atrial flutter. at the time, patient did not have iv access. the medical team attempted peripheral access without success at first. a trial of po betablockers was initiated but hr did not respond. iv access was finally obtained and with a single dose of iv lopressor patient dropped her sbp to the 90s. in this setting, patient was transferred to the ccu team for further care. in the ccu, the patient was found to be in new atrial flutter. poorly controlled pain and adrenergic surge from pancreatitis was considered as the cause of new onset atrial flutter. the patient was initially treated with diltiazem iv with some rate control. she underwent a tte to rule out presence of thrombus, anticoagulated with a heparin drip, then underwent dc cardioversion. she remained in nsr following. as her tte showed evidence of lvh, she was also started on standing metoprolol. patient remained in nsr after transfer back to the floor. . ## esrd on hd: mwf schedule. patient continued on hd schedule. renal followed patient while in house. . ## dmii: last a1c 9.3 in . a1c 7.2 implying reasonable control over last several months. fs below 300 in house. patient continued lantus and iss in house with good blood sugar control. . ## anemia: patient's hematocrit remained around 29-30 while in house. her baseline appears to be 30-40. patient did have guiac positive stool in house therefore heparin gtt held. patient had a work up in for occult gi bleed with normal colonoscopy and egd demonstrating erythema in antrum consistent with gastritis. . ## depression: patient continued on celexa. . ## chronic pain: patient continued on methadone and given po morphine for breakthrough pain secondary to pancreatitis. . ## oblong hypodense lesion in bladder noted incidentally on ct of abdomen and pelvis. patient will need mri follow up as outpatient. . ## elevated tsh: tsh elevated to 4.3 during admission. patient will need outpatient thyroid function tests to evaluate for possible hypothyroidism. . ##: blood culture: one set of blood culture from patient's central line grew coag neg staph and diphtheroids. line was pulled and patient demonstrated no signs of infection therefore this was thought to be contenement. medications on admission: aspirin 81 mg po daily methadone

woman with dm, htn, esrd on hd, recent mva, who presents with neck pain and feeling "awful." she was involved in a mva two weeks ago when another car struck her car from the passenger side. she was in the passenger seat, wearing a seatbelt, did not strike her head but did experience a jerking motion of her neck. afterward she began to experience severe headaches and posterior neck pain. she was seen at on and diagnosed with whiplash. x-rays were ordered which she did not have done. she went to hospital yesterday for the pain and was given dilaudid and ativan and discharged home. she continued to feel unwell so came to the ed. in the ed she initially triggered for hypoxia of 82% on ra in triage, but on recheck was 100% on ra. other vs were 99.0, 47, 94/35, 16. she was a&ox3 but slightly lethargic with pain over her posterior c-spine. ekg with a junctional rhythm (old) and no ischemic changes. she dropped her sbp to the 80s so a rij was placed and she was given a dose of empiric zosyn and 2l ns. she did not required pressors. notable for hct 25 (baseline high 20s-low 30s), stool guiac neg. cxr with mild vascular congestion but no pneumonia or other acute process. vs prior to transfer were 98/50 (map 63), 46, satting in the high 90s on 4l. on arrival to the micu, the patient continues to experience severe posterior neck pain and headache. having chest pain in the center of her chest, gerd-like, feels like she needs to burp, worse with deep breaths, and then vomited twice (2nd time dark, guiac positive). her symptoms resolved with anti-emetics, and her hypotension and hypoxia resolved so she was transferred to the floor. on the floor, she continued to be rather lethargic but a rousable. she continued to complain of pain and anxiety, requesting dilaudid and ativan, consistent with reports from prior hospitalizations. she also complained of neck and back pain. her vital signs remained stable except for drops in her pressure to the 80s systolic during hemodialysis. past medical history: - diabetes - hypertension - hyperlipidemia - esrd on hd (m/w/f) - hepatitis c - anemia - h/o pe - migraines - depression - narcotic dependence -

dm, htn, esrd on hd, recent mva, who presents with headache/neck pain/vomiting/hematemesis and found to be bradycardic, hypotensive, and hypoxic. active diagnoses: # neck pain/headache: mrs. came to the ed complaining of pain from a prior mva. pain continued throughout her hospital stay but lessened in severity each day. ct head and neck did not show any acute process. her c collar was removed, and she remained neurologically intact with full rom. her pain was treated with iv dilaudid and will likely improve with outpatient pt. # hypotension: pt initially came in with sbp in the 80s, which responded to 2l ns in the ed. home antihypertensives were held. her hypotension was thought to be due to either hypovolemia (overdialysis), sepsis, anemia, or adrenal suppression. she came in with a hct of 25, several points below her baseline. her stools were guaiac negative, but she had an episode of hematemesis while on the micu (see hematemesis below). her hematemesis resolved, and she had not other sources of active bleeding (see anemia below). her cortisol level was normal. looking back at previous hospitalizations, she has a history of mrsa bacteremia and fungemia. she did not become febrile, however her temperatures were higher than expected given she is a hd patient. there was adequate concern for septicemia, and sources of infection were investigated. she remained on empiric treatment with vanc and zosyn for 7 days, and no definitive source of infection was identified. after starting the abx, her hypotension resolved and she remained normotensive throughout her hospital stay (except during hd). she was instructed to continue vancomycin for 2 additional hd doses for a total 7 day course. post-discharge, it is still unclear whether or not she had a transient bloodstream infection. her blood cultures came back negative x 4. # bradycardia: the pt has a documented history of junctional rhythm on ekg. her home medications, amlodipine and carvedilol, were held, and her bradycardia resolved. the decision to restart should be based on a discussion with her pcp. # hypoxia: the patient received a cxr and cta which ruled out pe, pna, or other acute process. likely attributed to volume overload, as pt has esrd and receives hd mwf. her oxygenation improved in the micu and was normal on the floor on ra. # anemia: the pt has a longstanding hx of anemia, likely secondary to esrd. however, she presented with lower than normal hct and often complained of weakness/dizziness. she was transfused one unit of blood with dialysis, which improved her numbers. #thrombocytopenia: she has longstanding thrombocytopenia but numbers dipped below baseline by nearly 50% since admission. she received heparin products while hospitalized, including during dialysis. there was low suspicion for a consumptive process. we stopped all heparin products and considered getting hit ab titers, however the pt's platelets came back up, and suspicion for hit was low. no further workup was deemed necessary. # hematemesis: this occurred once while in the icu. although she has a hx of hepatitis c she has no hx of cirrhosis (ruq neg in 5/). h/o hematemesis and had egd in with gastritis but no active bleeding and no varicose. colonoscopy in also normal. patient on asa 81mg but no other nsaids. ultimately, the hematemesis resolved, so no further wok up was necessary. if she continues to experience hematemesis as an outpatient, she would likely benefit from a repeat egd. # elevated troponins: her tropnins were approx 0.2 x 3, but did not have st changes on ekg. looking back at previous hospitalizations, it appears that this is her baseline, presumably related to esrd. she was not symptomatic. #anxiety: the pt continued to complain of anxiety throughout her stay, requesting ativan daily. we ordered her home ativan dose, which she normally takes prior to hd. there appeared to be some level of dependence on ativan. she also takes wellbutrin at home. upon discharge she continued to complain of anxiety and will likely need outpatient follow up with pcp or psychiatry. chronic diagnoses: # esrd on hd: patient was dialyzed mwf per her home schedule, and we continued her nephrocaps. before d/c, we ensured she has adequate transportation to and from dialysis. # hypertension: home medications were held due to hypotension. # hyperlipidemia: continued home medication, simvastatin daily. # dm: she was placed on insulin sliding scale with fsbgs in acceptable range. # hepatitis c: she showed no signs of decompensation. no cirrhosis seen on ruq u/s in 5/. she is followed by a gastroenterologist, last seen in . # pituitary adenoma: pt has appointment for mri scheduled in with outpatient neurology follow up. this is not suspected to be related to her current condition. transitional issues: #she will need home pt for her mva injuries. #her coreg and amlodipine were held during hospitalization for hypotension/bradycardia but may need to be restarted given echo findings of lvh. her dose may need adjustment by her pcp. #pt appears to have anxiety issues which could not be managed appropriately in the hospital. she would likely benefit from outpatient counseling and adjustment of medications #mri of pituitary scheduled with neuro follow up. #she has follow up with nephrology #she has a follow up appt with hematology for her anemia

department for pain in your neck and back from your recent car accident. in the emergency department, you were found to have a low blood pressure, fever, low oxygen levels, and slow heart rate. the doctors were concerned that you might have an infection, so they inserted a large iv into your neck for easier administration of fluids and antibiotics, and they sent you to the medical intensive care unit. you were started on antibiotics for a presumed infection. they stopped your normal medicines for high blood pressure (carvedilol and amlodipine). the following day, your vital signs improved, and you were transfered to the general medicine floor. on the medicine floor, we continued your iv antibiotics and investigated sources of possible infection because you had a fever. we did a chest ct which did not show any pneumonia. we did blood cultures which were pending at the time of your discharge. we also examined your av fistula site and chronic left shin ulcer as possible sources. *****on the last day of your stay, you received a transthoracic echocardiogram to make sure you did not have a bacterial clot on the heart valve but you decided to leave the hospital against the medical advice of your physicians before finding out the final result. the risks associated with this include overwhelming infection and death.***** although we did not find a source of infection, you improved on the strong antibiotics we gave you. your fevers and low blood pressure resolved. you are being discharged with plans to receive vancomycin at hd on friday and monday . note that when you were tranferred to our service you also had a slow heart beat. you have a history of a slow heart beat (junctional bradycardia) according to your records. this improved with treating your presumed infection. you also had nausea and vomiting, which resolved as well, without requiring intervention. while you were here, you became quite confused and anxious, requiring occasional doses of anti-anxiety medication. as your infection got better, this problem seemed to resolve. during your stay, your blood counts (hematocrit) were quite low despite receiving medication to raise them (epogen) during dialysis, requiring us to transfuse a unit of blood. we tested your stool to see if you were bleeding from your digestive tract, but those tests were negative. you did not show any active signs of bleeding. we presume that your low blood counts were related to your chronic kidney disease. please follow up with your nephrologist (at dialysis) and hematologist (appointment listed below) to discuss the proper long term treatment plan. your platelets were low during your stay as well. we looked in your previous records and found that this has been a problem in the past and was stable. therefore we did not transfuse platelets or perform any other investigations. throughout your stay, you received dialysis on monday/wednesday/friday as normally scheduled. no changes were made to the treatment of your kidney disease. we made the following changes to your medications: -start vancomycin 1000mg iv with hd for 2 more doses: on friday and monday (this will complete a 1 week

mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation (however, views are suboptimal). the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. no mitral regurgitation is seen (however, views are suboptimal). the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. . renal u/s: impression: unremarkable renal ultrasound . chest xray : impression: chest clear, no overt failure. brief hospital course: f#altered mental status: the differential diagnosis for this was broad including medications, infection. pt was intubated and admitted to micu and treated for pneumonia as below. her mental status improved and after extubation was at baseline with no further unresponsiveness or evidence of seizure. head imaging did not show any acute process. lumbar puncture unremarkable. . #aspiration pneumonia: pt had copious secretions via ett. she was started on and complete a 10d course of broad spectrum antibiotics for pneumonia. once extubated, her respiratory status improved steadily. . #diastolic chf: pt diuresed with lasix with improvement. she was able to come off of oxygen. repeat cxr demonstrated clearance of chf and effusions. she was then maintained on a steady dose of po lasix and antihypertensives. intially on bb, hydralazine and imdur, but given diastolic dysfunction, lopressor titrated to 62.5 mg on discharge. this should be titrated prn to goal hr ~ 60 given diastolic dysfunction. . #acute renal failure: was likely from atn. this improved with diuresis. pt was then overdiuresed and cr climbed again to 2.0. lasix was held and then decreased and cr settled in mid 1s which is her baseline. lasix dose at discharge was 40 mg daily. would avoid ace-i for now as she has had problems with hyperkalemia (see below). . #hyperkalemia: likely multifactorial. seen by renal. felt to be hypoaldo state. improved with lasix, florinef and low k diet. given concurrent dchf, florinef held at discharge, but she should have her k levels monitored as an outpatient. she should become hyperkalemic again, florinef (.1 mg) should be restarted. . #sinusitis: completed course of augmenin. . #psych: another large componenet of this hospitalization. pt had been on ativan as outpt for anxiety. she was also on celexa which was continued. started on wellbutrin and in process of tapering off ativan slowly. she is also on methadone maintenance. dose was reduced to 60mg and pt is interested in coming off methadone. current dose of ativan is now .5 mg qhs. this may be decreased to .25 mg qhs for a few days and subsequently

and enterobacter cloacae. . sputum culture: positive for mrsa. . imaging: . eeg impression: mildly abnormal eeg mostly in the drowsy state due to a mildly slowed background in waking. this suggests a widespread encephalopathy. medications, metabolic disturbances, and infection are among the most common causes. there were no prominent focal abnormalities, and there were no epileptiform features. . cxr impression: stable appearance of the chest. no pneumonia appreciated. . mri head impression: severely limited study. the previously demonstrated subtle flair signal hyperintensity in the right mesial temporal lobe is no longer apparent on the current exam. . head mri impression: 1. subtle, asymmetric flair signal hyperintensity in the right mesial temporal lobe. while not specific for hsv encephalitis, this is a classic location for signal abnormality in the setting of this entity. 2. multiple probable areas of chronic infarction. . heel xr impression: increased size of ulcer along the plantar surface of the heel with subcutaneous air, but no radiographic evidence of bony involvement. if a more sensitive evaluation is needed, bone scan or mri could be helpful for further assessment.

course: mr. is a 78 year old male with esrd on hd, cad, pvd presenting with delerium likely secondary to hsv or vzv encephalopathy in addition to gnr bacteremia. . # aseptic encephalitis: the patient presented with with personality changes over the past month and was delirious in the hospital, but improved during and after his icu stay. despite the long time course and negative pcr for hsv/vzv/cmv/ and crypto ag, erlichia, he could have had encephalitis, given his history of recent zoster outbreak and classical findings on mri. a repeat lp on showed findings similar to previous (99 prot, 54 glu, 17 wbc, 96% lymphs). eeg on was read as a diffuse encephalopathy, consistent with metabolic disturbance, medication effect, or infection. a repeat mri on shows no acute process. patient has finished his course of acyclovir. viral/fungal cultures are negative thus far, and vdrl is pending. - the patient was previously on tegretol and neurontin prior to his admission which caused changes in mental status. these medications should be avoided. as his zoster has improved, it is unlikely that he will need this in the future. - he is to follow up with dr. in weeks. . # enterobacter bacteremia: blood cultures were positive on ; all subsequent cultures were negative. a left heel ulcer is believed to be the source of bacteremia. he is on cipro/vanco for 6 weeks secondary to osteomyelitis. cipro should stop on . vancomycin will end on . - on ciprofloxacin and vancomycin for total six week course. vancomycin is to be dosed by levels (dose for level < 15) at dialysis. levels are to be drawn every other day starting tomorrow, . - echo was negative for vegetation. - surveillance cultures were negative. . # hypotension: the patient was hypotensive for several days. this seems to have resolved for now. he has been weaned from midodrine and is tolerating dialysis. he originally did not respond to fluid bolus, and for severl days he was running even for volume on dialysis,. he was ruled out for adrenal insufficiency. no clear etiology was ascertained. however, infection was possible but patient doing well on cipro/vanc. apparently, in the micu, blood pressures were 20 points higher on a line than with cuff. at the time of discharge, the patient's blood pressures were in the 100-120 range systolically. he was restarted on a low dose of his beta blocker, toprol xl at 25 mg daily. . #. ischemic optic neuropathy : pathology was negative for temporal arteritis. he is to be discharged on a prednisone taper x 9 more days. patient had covered his right eye with patch for discomfort. he was encouraged to take off the patch. he is now more comfortable but still minimal vision in right eye. - optho recs for ischemic optic neuropathy include continue asa daily, taper steroids, follow up with optho in next 6 months. he has an appointment with dr. in . - he was also encouraged to see his usual ophthalmology, dr. . . #.delirium: mental status currently at baseline and stable. . #. renal failure- the patient is to continue dialysis per renal recs (t,th,s) as an outpatient. he is on sevelamer for hyperphosphatemia. - he is set to be dialyzed tomorrow, . he was last dialyzed on . . #. left heel ulcer: the patient was followed by . the ulcer probed to bone on exam. intra-op cultures on debridement grew mrsa and enterobacter. x-rays performed which showed an ulcer along the plantar surface of the heel with subcutaneous gas, but no radiographic evidence of bony involvement. the ulcer is now status post closure. as above, he will stay on cipro/vanc for a total of six weeks. he will follow up with dr. from next week. . # hiatal hernia: he is to continue a ppi. he intermittently complains of sensation of food getting stuck and has the urge to vomit. he was followed by nutrition consult, who have suggested giving moist, soft food, with some improvement. at the time of discharge, he was tolerating a regular diet. he will attempt fully solid foods but may prefer soft solids/ground food. . # diabetes mellitus: his finger sticks have been running less than 110, but increased to as high as 275 with improved po intake. we restarted his home glyburide at discharge. . # chronic anemia: his hematocrit was stable but low, within baseline range. b12/folate were checked for macrocytosis and found to be wnl. . #access: central line was removed on the day of discharge without complication. as the patient's vancomycin will be dosed at dialysis, there was no need for more permanent access. . # high cholesterol: we continued his hyperlipidemia meds. . # cad and htn: his toprol was restarted prior to discharge. he was maintained on asa 81 mg daily. . # fen: he tolerated a renal diet. he tolerates ground foods

history of present illness: this is an 85 year old female with a history of chronic pancreatitis secondary to ethanol use and peptic ulcer disease, status post distal diskectomy, admitted to surgical intensive care unit from hospital where she presented with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and epigastric pain. the patient presented to at 9:45 pm, with a history of weakness, nausea, vomiting and creamy diarrhea times one to two weeks with poor p.o. intake. the patient reports a one month history of diarrhea. no fever or chills. the patient reports epigastric pain, 6 out of 10, no radiation. past medical history: 1. chronic pancreatitis diagnosed in with pancreatic pseudocyst drained ; 2. peptic ulcer disease, status post partial distal diskectomy; 3. atrial fibrillation; 4. gout; 5. hyperlipidemia; 6. ethanol abuse. medications on admission: medications at home include - 1. lasix; 2. diovan; 3. propranolol. social history: positive tobacco history, none currently. positive heavy ethanol use in the past, unclear use now. the patient is married and lives with her husband. family history: non-contributory. physical examination: on admission temperature was 96.3, pulse 86, blood pressure 126/54, respirations 18, sating 100% on 100% face mask. the patient was on dopamine 7.5 mcg/min. general: frail elderly female in mild distress secondary to abdominal pain. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: positive icterus, oral mucosa slightly dry. oropharynx clear. neck: supple, jugulovenous distension to jaw line at 45 degrees. no lymphadenopathy. cardiac: regular rhythm, no murmurs, rubs or gallops. lungs: decreased breathsounds with mild rhonchi. abdomen: old scar noted. normoactive bowel sounds. soft, moderate tenderness in the epigastrium, positive guarding. distention of abdomen, but soft without evidence of peritoneal signs or rebound. extremities, warm with no edema. rectal, poor tone, guaiac negative. laboratory data: laboratory studies on admission revealed white blood cell count 10.6, hematocrit 25.3, platelets 310, inr 1.1, ptt 25.5, sodium 138, potassium 4.1, chloride 115, bicarbonate 12, bun 51, creatinine 1.6, glucose 151. alt 43, ast 72, alkaline phosphatase 140, total bilirubin 1.2, amylase 27, lipase 52, calcium 7.6, magnesium 1.3, phosphorus 3.5. arterial blood gases, 7.29, 28, 68, lactate 1.3. computerized tomography scan: small amount of fluid in retroperitoneum. mildly thickened small bowel loop, bilateral pleural effusions, positive pleural plaques. ultrasound: no dilated common bile duct, cholelithiasis but no evidence of cholecystitis. hospital course: 1. abdominal pain - the patient's abdominal pain with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea was felt to be consistent with chronic pancreatitis flare versus gastroenteritis. there was no evidence of cholecystitis or common bile duct dilatation on right upper quadrant ultrasound and aside from a few loops of thickened bowel on abdominal computerized tomography scan, abdominal findings were unremarkable. the patient's initial acidosis were felt secondary to fluid losses from diarrhea and improved with volume resuscitation. the patient's abdominal examination steadily improved and her liver function tests remained unremarkable throughout the hospital stay. at the time of discharge the patient was without nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. 2. cardiology - the patient's cardiac enzymes were cycled with a troponin peak of 0.14. cardiology was consulted who recommended a transthoracic echocardiogram and persantine mibi with gentle diuresis for elevated jugulovenous pressure and initiation of lopressor. the patient's transesophageal echocardiogram on showed an ejection fraction of 60% with 1+ mitral regurgitation, 2+ tricuspid regurgitation, severe pulmonary artery and systolic hypertension. the patient's troponin leak is likely secondary to strain and further workup not pursued at this time. the patient will require a persantine mibi scheduled as an outpatient through her primary care physician. 3. respiratory - the patient developed a cough with increased respiratory rate into the 30s on . a chest x-ray at that time showed left upper lobe and lower lobe opacities consistent with congestive heart failure versus pneumonia as well as a bilateral pleural effusion. the patient was diuresed with lasix over 2.3 liters over the next 36 hours with no improvement in respiratory symptoms. follow up chest x-ray showed an increase in the size of the left pleural effusion and multifocal bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. the patient was begun empirically on levofloxacin and flagyl and was transferred to the medicine intensive care unit for further management of suspected nosocomial pneumonia. the patient had sputum culture taken on and which grew methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin was added upon transfer on to the medicine intensive care unit. the patient will continue ciprofloxacin, flagyl and vancomycin for a total of 14 day course for nosocomial pneumonia. the patient underwent a thoracentesis on which gram stain showed no polymorphonucleocytes and no microorganism. total protein 1.3, albumin less than 1, glucose 138, ldh 81, preliminary probe fluid culture was negative. based on these results pleural effusion was felt to be a transudate likely secondary to congestive heart failure and the patient was gently diuresed during the course of the hospital stay. the patient was noted to have copious secretions throughout length of stay in the medicine intensive care unit requiring frequent suctioning. she had a weak cough and was unable to bring up secretions on her own without chest physical therapy. 3. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - the patient was noted to be hypernatremic with sodium 149 at time of transfer to the medicine intensive care unit. free water deficit was 1.6 liters. the patient was repleted with 1/2 normal saline. the sodium had stabilized at the time of discharge. sodium was 139. metabolic acidosis was noted on admission to surgery intensive care unit, resolved with closing anion gap and normalization of ph. the patient had speech and swallow evaluation on given concern of possible aspiration as a contributor to her current pneumonia. bedside swallowing evaluation showed that the patient appeared to aspirate water but refused to take more than one bite or one sip. her lack of cooperation, lack of desire to eat and drink and her waxing and level of alertness placed her at significant nutritional risk, even if she could swallow safely. therefore, the patient's dobbhoff tube was placed and tube feeds started. the patient will require further evaluation once strength increases to evaluate whether she is able to take p.o. once she is over her acute illness. 5. anemia - the patient was noted to have decreased hematocrit on transfer to the medicine intensive care unit, although this was within her baseline ranges of 25 to 35. the patient was guaiac negative. iron studies suggestive of anemia of chronic disease. we continued to monitor her hematocrit through her hospital course. it remained stable and at the time of discharge was 28.2. the patient will require further monitoring of her hematocrit as an outpatient to ensure that it remains stable. 6. delirium - the patient was noted to have waxing and mental status throughout the course of her hospital stay although it gradually improved as we avoided sedatives. the delirium was felt likely secondary to acute infection overlying the existing underlying dementia, possibly from prior heavy ethanol use. the patient's mental status stabilized. no further workup was performed at this time. 7. renal failure - the patient's elevated creatinine noted on admission to surgery intensive care unit gradually returned towards normal with a creatinine of 1.0 at the time of discharge. given the patient's creatinine clearance, less than 35, all medications were dosed renally. the patient will require further follow up of creatinine to ensure that it remains within normal limits. the patient's elevated creatinine on admission was likely secondary to prerenal although there may have been an acute tubular necrosis component. condition on discharge: fair discharge status: to be discharged to acute rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnosis: 1. chronic pancreatitis 2. nosocomial pneumonia 3. atrial fibrillation 4. gout 5. peptic ulcer disease 6. hyperlipidemia discharge medications: 1. colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. 2. metronidazole 500 mg intravenously q. 8 hours 3. regular insulin sliding scale 4. pantoprazole 40 mg p.o. q. 24 hours 5. ciprofloxacin 400 mg intravenously q. 24 hours 6. vancomycin 500 mg intravenously q. 24 hours , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Thoracentesis Arterial catheterization Diagnoses: Acidosis Mitral valve disorders Unspecified pleural effusion Congestive heart failure, unspecified Atrial fibrillation Methicillin susceptible pneumonia due to Staphylococcus aureus Chronic pancreatitis Diseases of tricuspid valve

history of present illness: the patient is a 39 year old male who was an unrestrained driver involved in a rollover motor vehicle accident. he was partially ejected from the vehicle. he had a prolonged extrication time, approximately 30 minutes and was found unresponsive by paramedics at the scene and intubated. the patient was transferred to an outside medical facility where he had some left side crepitus noted. he had a left chest tube placed for relief of this pneumothorax. the patient, at that time, was noted to be hypotensive and had a diagnostic peritoneal lavage performed which was negative. the patient's chest x-ray at that time showed a pneumothorax on the opposite side, on the right side, for which another chest tube was placed. the patient was packaged and prepared for transfer through , however, upon wheeling the patient away from that facility, he was found to be hypotensive initially and then had an asystolic arrest. two additional bilateral chest tubes were placed with relief of bilateral tension hemopneumothoraces with return of perfusing cardiac rhythm. the patient was stabilized for transfer to . upon arrival in our trauma bay, the patient was intubated, sedated, and paralyzed. the patient had three chest tubes in place and was hemodynamically stable. hospital course: trauma work-up at our facility revealed bilateral pneumothoraces with minimal hemothoraces, adequately drained by his chest tubes. however, persistent air leaks were noted and it was identified that the patient'a proximal ports of his chest tubes were out of the chest. during the ct scan, he became hypotensive and these tubes had to be emergently advanced with good result. the patient's trauma series revealed multiple rib fractures and hemopneumothoraces as stated above. the patient had a head ct scan which was negative and a ct scan of the cervical spine which showed a tiny c5 avulsion fracture which was non-displaced. ct scan of his chest revealed bilateral pulmonary contusions, bilateral consolidation and a left clavicular fracture. ct scan of his abdomen and pelvis showed a minimal amount of free fluid consistent with his diagnostic left clavicular fracture. ct scan of his abdomen and pelvis showed a minimum amount of free fluid consistent with his diagnostic peritoneal lavage. the patient also noted to have multiple bilateral rib fractures. the patient's plain film also on a later read revealed question of a left iliac fracture which was non-displaced. the patient also was noted by a consultation by orthopedic surgeons to have a glenoid fracture in addition to a humerus fracture. the patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit where two fresh sterile chest tubes were placed and his three other chest tubes were removed. he required intermittent pressor support and aggressive fluid resuscitation. neurosurgery was consulted and determined that this c5 fracture was nondisplaced, not requiring any specific therapy, however, that the patient should be in a hard collar for six weeks. the patient developed pulmonary infiltrate and some fevers for which he was started on ceftriaxone for some gram negative rods growing in his sputum. on hospital day four, the patient was taken to the operating room by the orthopedic surgeons for open reduction and internal fixation of his humeral fractures; the patient tolerated this procedure well without any complications. postoperatively, he was transferred back to the surgical intensive care unit where he underwent a prolonged ventilatory wean. the patient was extubated but noted to be somewhat confused and initially combative. the patient was thought to be withdrawing from alcohol and was started on ativan drips to control this. he progressed very well. mental status improved. he was transferred to the floor. on the floor, he continued to do well with slowly improving mental status. psychiatry was consulted for care of this and recommended a slow ativan wean and slow haldol wean. the patient's antibiotic course was completed. follow-up chest x-ray revealed resolution of his consolidations and the patient's sputum became normal. he began working with physical therapy and advanced to a regular diet which he tolerated well and will be discharged to rehabilitation. dr., 02-349 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Fiber-optic bronchoscopy Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Arterial catheterization Open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, humerus Diagnoses: Traumatic pneumohemothorax without mention of open wound into thorax Other specified complications of procedures not elsewhere classified Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema Flail chest Closed fracture of multiple ribs, unspecified Other and unspecified intracranial hemorrhage following injury without mention of open intracranial wound, with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration Closed fracture of fifth cervical vertebra Closed fracture of surgical neck of humerus Motor vehicle traffic accident due to loss of control, without collision on the highway, injuring driver of motor vehicle other than motorcycle
history of present illness: this is an 82-year-old male with history of coronary artery disease status post a mi in , duodenal ulcer, b cell gi lymphoma status post sbo and resection presenting with black stool x1 day. patient states that he awoke the morning of admit with dizziness. he had three bouts of dark diarrhea and felt weak and fatigued. he saw his primary care physician in clinic, who sent him to the emergency room for evaluation. he does not have a history of aspirin, nsaids, or alcohol use, no abdominal pain, vomiting, hematuria, or hematemesis. no fever, chills, or nausea. the patient also gives a history of using sublingual nitroglycerins per day. he states that he has frequent chest pain with minimal exertion or exposure to cold. he states that his chest pain is a feeling of pressure substernally without radiation and resolves with one tablet of nitroglycerin at home. in the emergency room, patient was given iv protonix and 1 liter of normal saline. he complained of chest pain substernally and it was relieved with one sublingual nitroglycerin. ekg was significant for st depressions throughout the anterolateral leads. an attempt was made for nasogastric lavage, but when nasogastric tube was being placed, the patient complained of chest pain, which resolved with one sublingual nitroglycerin as well. nasogastric lavage was not able to be done. past medical

years. physical exam: on physical exam, the patient had a temperature of 98.6, heart rate 68, blood pressure 137/70, respiratory rate 16, and saturating 100% on 2 liters nasal cannula. in general, he is alert and oriented times three in no acute distress. heent: pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. mucous membranes dry. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm with a 2/6 systolic murmur at the left lower sternal border. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen is soft, nontender, and nondistended, positive bowel sounds, guaiac positive. extremities: no edema. pertinent laboratories on admit: patient had a white count of 9.2, hematocrit of 29.1, platelets of 228. inr was 3.3. potassium 5.3, bun 86, creatinine 1.3. first two sets of cardiac enzymes were within normal limits. liver function tests and lipase were within normal limits. ekg was normal sinus rhythm at 66 beats per minute with wide qrs, normal axis, qs in ii, iii, and avf, and st depressions in v1 through v6 with t-wave inversion consistent with interventricular conduction delay of right bundle branch morphology. repeat ekg had improved st depressions. hospital course by systems: 1. gastroenterology: the patient presented with three bouts of melena at home likely from a gi bleed of the upper gi tract. gi was consulted on admit and they decided not to do an urgent egd given his labile cardiac status. nasogastric lavage was not able to be done in the ed secondary to the patient's chest pain. he did not have any further melena while on the floor. the differential diagnosis includes an ulcer versus tumor versus gastritis versus avm. the patient was h. pylori negative in . he is followed by dr. with gastroenterology. he had two large bore ivs placed. he was placed on protonix 40 mg iv b.i.d. he was initially made npo and his diet was advanced as tolerated. he was given 3-4 units of packed red blood cells in total, and was reversed initially with 2 units of ffp and 10 mg of p.o. vitamin k for his supratherapeutic inr secondary to coumadin. after his transfusions, his hematocrit remained stable in the upper 30s. coumadin was not restarted secondary to the increased risk of bleed. 2. cardiology: on the night of admit, the patient developed substernal crushing chest pain. again ekg showed st depressions anteriorly and laterally. the patient was given four sublingual nitroglycerins without relief as well as 1 mg of iv morphine. he was transferred to the cardiac floor for nitroglycerin drip. the nitroglycerin drip was up to 200 mcg per hour and his chest pain resolved five hours later. cardiac enzymes were cycled peaked at a troponin of 2.0 with a ck of 427. the patient remained stable on the floor, but then complained of increasing chest pain and ekg showed st depressions anterolaterally, but then rapid afib with inferior st segment elevations thought to be secondary to demand ischemia. the patient refused catheterization at this time, but was sent to the coronary intensive care unit for better monitoring. echocardiogram on showed an ef of 20% with mild symmetric lvh, moderate as, 1+ ar, pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 34 with 1+ mr, + tr, and no effusion. the patient was loaded with amiodarone for his rapid afib and beta-blocker was titrated up. he was started on a daily aspirin, but no further anticoagulation was given secondary to his gi bleed. he is to continue on his beta-blocker, statin, and long-acting nitrate. his ace inhibitor was held secondary to acute renal failure during his hospitalization. patient's ekgs were followed. his qtc interval increased to 0.53. haldol and antipsychotics were held. it was thought that part of the qtc prolongation maybe secondary to his amiodarone. the patient will follow up with dr. , his cardiologist on discharge. 3. neurology: on admit, the patient was alert and oriented times three. after transfer to the intensive care unit, he became delirious with mental status changes, but no focal neurologic deficits. the patient became very disoriented not knowing place, time, or why he was in the hospital. he frequently became very agitated and combative, required zyprexa, soft restraints, as well as 24-hour sitters. he also developed hallucinations. neurology was consulted. the patient's b12, folate, rpr, and tsh were within normal limits. head ct did not show any acute process. the patient's sedating medications were held as there is a thought that they might be contributing to his confusion. the patient's delirium continued to improve throughout his hospital course. 4. renal: patient developed acute renal failure with a creatinine up to 2.0. his usual baseline is 1.2 to 1.4. this was likely hypovolemic and prerenal in the setting of a gi bleed as well as poor ejection fraction as well as poor p.o. intake. he was given mild iv hydration without signs of heart failure, and his creatinine improved. his ace inhibitor was discontinued secondary to his acute renal failure, but should be restarted in the future. 5. fen: the patient was maintained on a 2-gram sodium, low cholesterol/low fat diet. speech and swallow was consulted as the patient was found to be coughing during his meals. video swallow test was performed, which did not show any signs of silent aspiration and the patient was maintained on a regular diet with thin liquids. electrolytes were repleted as needed. he was encouraged to increase his p.o. intake. 6. full code: heathcare proxy, , his partner of 20 years. discharged to: rehab. discharge status: good. discharge

history of present illness: mr. is an 80-year-old man with a past medical history of coronary artery disease, polymyalgia rheumatica who presents from outside hospital with episode of chest discomfort and shortness of breath. he was in his usual state of health until one week prior to admission when he began having worsening shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion while on vacation at . he had worsening shortness of breath on the day prior to admission, an episode of chest pain and went to the emergency department at an outside hospital in . he had electrocardiogram changes which were nonspecific, possible st elevation on lead 1 and l, t-wave inversion in 3 and was ruled out for myocardial infarction with cks and troponin. originally started on aggrastat and heparin which was discontinued on . he was continued on beta blocker and aspirin, started on an ace inhibitor and plavix and received diuresis with intravenous lasix. he was transferred to and at presentation he was with shortness of breath which was improved. no chest pain, no fevers, chills, nausea or vomiting, however he did have a cough productive of brown sputum. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease, status post cardiac catheterization many years prior notable for 80% right coronary artery stenosis treated medically. 2. prostate cancer three years prior to admission treated with

banker. he has a 15 pack year smoking history, but quit 40 years ago. admission physical exam: vital signs: temperature was 97.9??????, blood pressure 108/58, pulse 90, respirations 20. o2 saturation is 95% on 4 liters. general: he is a pleasant man in no acute distress. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: anicteric. oropharynx is clear. jugular venous pressure is 3 cm. heart: regular rate and rhythm, s1 and s2. the patient also has an s3. no murmurs, rubs or gallops. chest: bibasilar wet crackles at the bases bilaterally one half up. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended, active bowel sounds. extremities: no edema, 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. warm extremities. neurologic: alert and oriented x3, mentating well. admission labs: notable for cks 45, 29 and 27, troponin less than 0.10 x2 and less than 0.15. white blood count was 13.1, hematocrit 35, platelets 378. chem-7 146, 4.3, 109, 20, 27, 1.1 and 168. his coagulation studies were normal. chest x-ray showed multiple patchy bilateral opacities in the mid and lower lobes, partially obscuring the mediastinal and hilar contours. no preliminary vascular engorgements. hospital course by systems: 1. pulmonary: mr. was aggressively diuresed with lasix, as it was felt that he had pulmonary edema. his oxygen saturation did not improve with his diuresis, in fact it gradually worsened prompting a chest ct scan on which revealed diffuse air space disease predominantly of the mid and lower lung zones consistent with infectious or inflammatory process that were groundless opacities bilaterally. he therefore had multiple serologies checked and a biopsy done through a vats procedure on . the serologies were notable for positive p-anca confirmed by myeloperoxidase and positive rheumatoid factor and an elevated esr, otherwise negative. he had had the biopsy which revealed acute and organizing pneumonitis with interalveolar fibrin deposition and type ii pneumocyte hyperplasia, fresh and organizing vascular thrombi, but no evidence of active vasculitis. stains were negative for evidence of infection. around this time on , he had been transferred to the medical intensive care unit because of worsening respiratory status and intubated. he was started on cytoxan and solu-medrol and improved respiratory wise over the next few weeks. he was extubated on and his sedation was gradually titrated. pulmonary wise, he remained stable, but still had an oxygen requirement on the date of discharge at approximately 2 to 3 liters nasal cannula. 2. cardiovascular: the patient presented and was ruled out for myocardial infarction. the initial feeling was that he had pulmonary edema from congestive heart failure, however his echocardiogram revealed a normal left ventricular ejection fraction. no significant valvular disease and no evidence of pericardial effusion or tamponade. therefore, the aggressive lasix diuresis was stopped and he was simply continued on aspirin, lasix 40 mg intravenous qd, amlodipine, metoprolol and isordil. his lipitor had been stopped because of elevated cks and his ace inhibitor had been stopped because of his renal function. he did not have any chest pain or new electrocardiogram changes during his hospital course and telemetry was discontinued when he left the medical intensive care unit. 3. renal: the patient developed renal insufficiency which was believed to be secondary to the aggressive diuresis he received upon admission and his bun increased into the 100s and his creatinine increased to a maximum of 3.7 on . it had improved back to 2.2. his urinalysis was noted for muddy brown casts. his fena was 5% and spap and upap were negative. his gbm was also negative. it was felt that he probably did not have vasculitis infecting his kidneys and that it was probably simply acute tubular necrosis. his renal function had improved by the time of discharge to a creatinine of 1.4. 4. musculoskeletal: when the patient had reversal of his sedation, it was noted that he was diffusely weak. this delayed his extubation for a few days. when he was finally extubated, he had difficulty talking. he had difficulty moving his head and difficulty moving his extremities. the neurology and rheumatology services were consulted for this weakness and after thorough investigation including emg nerve conduction studies and a muscle biopsy, the belief was that this was secondary to a steroid myelopathy or a critical illness myopathy believed to improve with time and weaning of his steroids. his strength gradually improved since transfer to the floor and currently he has 3+ strength in his fingers and hands, 3+ strength in his toes and feet and 1+ to 2+ strength in the rest of his extremities. he has 3+ strength in his neck muscles. his extraocular movements are intact. his ldh and ck had been followed for evidence of muscle injury and they had been increasing and now are decreasing. his ldh is currently 363 and his ck is 291 on the date of discharge. 5. heme: his hematocrit has remained relatively stable during this admission. he has no current active bleeding. 6. infectious disease: he is currently not on any antibiotics and has not shown any recent evidence of infection. 7. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the patient was having issues with hypernatremia and received d5 water various times during his admission and free water boluses through his tube. because of this and his sodium had improved to 148 on the day of admission, his feeding was done through his nasogastric tube initially and he had a g-tube placed through interventional radiology and the nasogastric tube was removed. his g-tube has been functioning well with low residuals and he has been getting ultracal tube feeds. discharge plan: the plan is to discharge on the following medications. discharge medications: 1. cyclophosphamide 120 mg per g-tube qd 2. heparin 5000 units subcutaneous 3. furosemide 40 mg intravenous qd 4. prednisone 80 mg per g-tube q od x2 weeks, then 70 mg po q od x2 weeks, then 60 mg po q od indefinitely. 5. bactrim double strength 1 tablet per g-tube 3x per week 6. amlodipine 10 mg per g-tube qd 7. metoprolol 75 mg per g-tube 8. isordil 40 mg per g-tube tid 9. lacrilube ointment 1 both eyes prn 10. colace 100 mg per g-tube 11. lansoprazole solution 30 mg per g-tube 12. calcium acetate 1 per g-tube tid with meals 13. aspirin 81 mg po qd 14. albuterol metered dose inhaler 1 to 2 puffs q6h prn 15. atrovent metered dose inhaler 2 puffs q6h prn discharge instructions: he will continue on ultracal tube feeds full strength at a rate of 70 cc per hour. residuals should be checked every four hours and tube feeds should be held for residuals greater than 100 cc. he should receive flushes of 120 cc of water q4h. he should have his cbc checked every week and if his white blood count decreases below 3.5 or his other blood counts remain dangerously low, the cytoxan dose should be decreased. his urine output goal is greater than 2 liters per day because of his cytoxan. he should have active physical therapy. it was notable that he had no functional impairments prior to admission except for increased endurance and early fatigue. final diagnoses: 1. interstitial lung disease 2. acute tubular necrosis 3. renal insufficiency 4. prostate cancer 5. critical illness myopathy 6. positive p-anca , m.d. dictated by:

are seen bilaterally, left greater than right. increased opacity is seen throughout both lungs, likely due to a combination of mild pulmonary edema, pleural effusions, and basilar atalectasis. cardiomediastinal and hilar silhouettes are unchanged. impression: appropriate position of endotracheal . layering bilateral pleural effusions and mild pulmonary edema. tte the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. there is moderate to severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 25-30 %). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. right ventricular chamber size is normal with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. the aortic valve leaflets appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , there has been marked/diffuse biventricular systolic dysfunction c/w diffuse process (toxin, metabolic, cannot exclude multivessel cad but less likely as no focality to dysfunction). the left pleural effusion is now much larger. renal u/s 1. no evidence of hydronephrosis or mass within the

course: 85 y/o man admitted with respiratory failure and sepsis from influenza a complicated by a mrsa pneumonia. # respiratory failure: pt was dnr/dni prior to this presentation to the ed. upon arrival to the , pt was in mild respiratory distress with hypotension. code status was reversed, pt was intubated & aggressively volume resussitated. pt was found to have influenza a complicated by an mrsa pna, he was also noted to have some e/o demand ischemia. echo revealed a globally depressed ef of 20-30%, cxr revealed bilateral pulm effusions. pt was treated with 10 days of vancmcyin for an mrsa pna. pt was having difficulty weaning with rsbis>100 & low niffs. pt then developped recurrent low grade temps & elevated wbc count. sputum was +klebsiella and pt was started on zosyn for vap & switched to meropenem (for esbl producing klebsiella) to complete a 7 day course of abx. pt was intubated for 16 days with niffs ranging from -1 to -7. rsbis ranging from 80-120. pt has a known h/o post polio syndrome with presumed weak resp muscles and was thought not likely to tolerate extubation. pt had trach placement on , which he toleratd well. his volume status was optimized via lasix and diuresis, and his respiratory status improved. the ventilator was weaned to pressure support, and then tracheostomy collar with blow-by oxygen. upon transfer from the micu, he was tolerating humidified air with good oxygenation and ventilation. after transfer the state lab called, and it was noted that he had a positive afb culture on a negative smear specimen drawn ~1 month prior to admission. infection control was consulted, who felt that the patient could go home once he had ruled out for afbx3 smears, as far as his contagious risk. he had 3 smears which were negative prior to discharge, and cultures were consistent with mac. # bacteremia/fungemia: pt was noted to have low grade fevers & rising wbc count on . blood cultures from were + vre & fungus. pt was started on linezolid for 14 day course for bacteremia. urine culture was +yeast on & . foley was changed out & caspofungin was started for a 14day course treating fungemia & funguria. sputum from & was +klebsiella, pt was treated with a 8 day course of meropenem for presumed vap. patient completed a course of caspofungin and linezolid and subsequently remained afebrile and hemodynamically stable. # atrial fibrillation with labile bp: pt with h/o chronic a.fib was noted to have labile bps thought likely due to agitation & volume. acheived better rate and bp control with metoprolol 100mg tid. diltiazem was added for additional rate control, however, pt had an episode of bradycardia on and diltiazem was stopped. heart rates were generally stable in 80-100's on metoprolol 100mg tid, digoxin 0.125mg & low dose asa 81mg. anticoagulation was held due to hematocrit drop with ongoing bloody secretions from oropharynx, will defer to outpt cardiologist regarding plan for future anticoagulation, although in light of hospice services, it is unlikely to be significantly adjusted. # chronic diastolic and acute systolic heart failures: pt with h/o diastolic chf, found to have globally depressed ef of 25-30% on admission, possible related to viral myocarditis vs sepsis induced cardiomyopathy. echo showed no evidence of regional wall motion abnormality thought pt was noted to have evidence demand ischemia in setting of sirs on admission. lv function was thought likely to recover in 6-8wks, he will likely need follow up echo as outpt. pt was switched from captopril to lisinopril for afterload reduction and developped hyperkalemia despite otherwise normal renal function and the ace-i was discontinued. he was mantained on metoprolol. his lasix was converted to po and a stable daily regimen to maintain euvolemia was established at 120 mg po tid. # oropharyngeal bleed: pt was noted to have increased bloody secretions around ett while on a heparin drip for systemic anticoagulation (for afib). heparin was held & ent was consulted, felt this was likely due to skin breakdown & abrasions under ett after prolong intubation. pt received prbc tranfusions for mild hct drop & bleeding stopped after systemic anticoagulation was held. # delerium: pt was noted to be persistently non-responsive to stimuli after extubation. non con head ct was neg for acute intracran pathology (positive for small vessel dz), vit b12 was wnl & eeg showed slowed background and global encephalopathy. both ethics & the pain/palliative care were consulted, olanzapine 5mg was started for possible underlying delirium. upon clearing his infections, the patient made considerable improvement in his ms. a passy-muir valve was provided for the trach and the patient appropriately answered questions and followed commands. # uti - bacterial: urine cultures from were positive for yeast. pt completed 3 days of amphotericin cbi. repeat uas were +leukocytes & wbcs but no yeast. foley was changed out on & repeat urine cultures have been ngtd. # type 2 dm controlled: pt with a history of type ii dm was covered with humalog insulin sliding scale while receiving tf of nutren pulm at 45cc/hr. # c. diff colitis: pt with h/o relapsing/recurrent c.diff on a slow po vancomcyin taper as outpatient. pt was given treatment dose po vancomycin at 125mg q6hr while on broad spect abx. his outpatient taper was re-started on the last day of systemic antibiotics, . # left shoulder dislocation: this was noted incidentally on early admission cxr, per ortho, they deferred management until medically stable to tolerate mri. repeat shoulder films unable to confirm dislocation, pain was managed with po morphine. #afb (+) cultures cultures at state lab were positive from prior admission. as such he was ruled out with 3xafb smears which were all negative, and on day of discharge the state lab's cultures were read out at mac rather than mtb. medications on admission: levothyroxine 100 mcg po daily diltiazem

aorta, bilateral renal arteries, bilateral common, internal and external iliac arteries. we see heavily calcified, moderate stenotic plaques within both proximal common iliac arteries. the right lower extremity runoff revealed a patent common profunda and superficial femoral arteries. this continued down into the distal above-the-knee popliteal but the below- the-knee popliteal is occluded just at the knee joint, and we see reconstitution of the tibioperoneal trunk at the takeoff of the anterior tibialis with a patent peroneal which gives the main runoff down to the foot. the posterior tibialis and anterior tibialis are both occluded. however, the distal anterior tibialis is reconstituted from peroneal collaterals into a widely patent dorsalis pedis. we performed successful balloon angioplasty of an occluded below-the-knee popliteal artery into the proximal peroneal. there was some evidence of distal embolization which we were able to manage by angioplasty, as well as aspiration of the embolus. completion arteriography demonstrated a patent peroneal with an improved flow via collaterals into the anterior tibial which is preserved into a widely patent dorsalis pedis. non-invasive arterial and venous studies: there is a widely patent right greater saphenous vein and a patent left greater saphenous vein from the saphenofemoral junction to the mid calf. the right cephalic and basilic veins are patent from the antecubital fossa proximally and the left cephalic and basilic veins are patent from the antecubital fossa proximally. however, there is a small clot identified in the left cephalic vein at the antecubital fossa. pulsed volume recordings were obtained bilaterally at the metatarsal level. on the right side, there is much artifact and the metatarsal deflection is difficult to determine, although it appears to be less than 6 mm. on the left side, there is approximately an 8-9 mm deflection. pmibi: interpretation: the image quality is adequate. left ventricular cavity size is normal. rest and stress perfusion images reveal a moderate, partially reversible defect in the lateral wall. this lateral wall defect appeared completely reversible on the prior study from . gated images reveal normal wall motion. the calculated left ventricular ejection fraction is approximately 60%, which is increased since the prior study when it was 52%.

vanco/levo/flagyl were started, patient was made npo and hco3 was started for angiography. right foot xray was negative for osteomyelitis. angiography on hd2 revealed an occluded right below-the-knee popliteal artery. angioplasy of the peroneal artery corrected the patient's rest pain, but not enough for treatment of the gangrene. patient was pre-oped for bypass surgery. cardiology was consulted and performed a pmibi stress test. pmibi was consistent with a partially reversible lateral wall defect and an ef approximately 60%. cardiology cleared patient for surgery. on hd7, patient was brought to the or for r sfa-at bypass with insitu gsv. postoperatively, patient had a palpable graft pulse and right dp. patient was transferred to the vicu with an uncomplicated post-operative course. patient continued with asa, beta-blockade, and antibiotics. podiatry was consulted for serial debridements of his right toe gangrene. patient also suffers from urinary retention. foley catheter has been placed pre-operatively and the patient failed a post-operative voiding trial. patient will continue with foley leg bag and follow up with urology as an outpatient. patient was followed by pt and was recommended that he be discharged to a rehab facility. a post-operative wound swab was found to be positive for staph aureus coag+, sensitive to levofloxacin and bactrim. patient was then started

morning. he was npo at midnight getting bicarbonate at 80 cc/hour after midnight. cultures taken of his wounds. urine culture, chest x-ray and labs were drawn. the patient was continued on his current medications. on admission, the patient had an x-ray of his right foot which showed no radiographic evidence of osteomyelitis. admission ecg showed sinus rhythm, borderline first degree av delay, left atrial abnormality, right bundle branch block. this is new finding since his previous tracing in . on hospital day 2, the patient had angiography with special intervention. during angioplasty, he was found to have occluded below the knee popliteal artery and the proximal peroneal artery. there was some evidence of distal embolization which we were able to manage by angioplasty as well as aspiration of the embolus. although the patient received peroneal angioplasty that relieved his rest pain, it was not enough to heal his gangrene. the patient was then preopped for surgical

fax number ). care and recommendations: 1. feedings at discharge: breast milk/enfamil 20 by mouth ad lib. 2. medications at discharge: tri-vi- 1 cc by mouth once per day and desitin to diaper area as needed. 3. car seat position screening. 4. newborn state screens were sent; most recent on and were normal. 5. hepatitis b vaccination was given on . immunizations recommended: synagis respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following three criteria: (1) born at less than 32 weeks gestation; (2) born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation with 2/3 of the following: plans for day care during respiratory syncytial virus season, with a smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities, or with school-age siblings;

section "disposition" for the relevant details. the hospital course up to this point is summarized first: a/p: 51 yof w/ h/o copd, seizure disorder recent admit w/ ards presents w/ leukocytosis, hypoxia, and episodes concerning for seizure. intubated with ards of unclear etiology, failed extubation x2 ( and ) with hypoxic resp failure of unclear etiology. * 1) hypoxic/hypercarbic respiratory failure and ards: unclear cause. all cultures were negative, including blood, sputum, bal, csf, urine, c dif, flu, legionella. intubated in ed with abg of 7.26/76/139. on nebs, flovent. pt was covered for 1 week with meropenum, azithro, vanco until (pt has h/o klebsiella/serretia vap and esbl klebs bacteremia). second attempt at extubation was attempted , and the patient did well initially, but then acutely desaturated and was reintubated. aspiration vs. flash pulm edema were considered as factors complicating extubation. . pt was beta-blocked and a swan-ganz catheter was in place before the third extubation attempt on in order to diagnose and manage acute manifestations of heart failure upon extubation. bal microbiology but not pathology showed cytopathic changes but viral and bacterial cultures as well as cmv immunology were negative. . 2) seizure: pt has a h/o seizure disorder, the precipitant of which may be proximate to inadequate treatment on a single (dilantin) in the setting of fever and hypoxia. head ct and urine tox were neg. an eeg showed diffuse encephalopathy without status epilepticus. additional history obtained from outpt neurologist dr. showed that the pt presented to regional with generalized tonic-clonic seizure on with dilantin level of 22, started on zonegran because she failed a single , and was discharged on hd#2 with normal mental status. at the , she required successive reloading of dilantin -20, before the patient left against medical advice. despite leaving against medical advise before a therapeutic serum level of dilantin could be achieved, the patient was nevertheless scheduled with her primary care physician for dilantin dose adjustment. she was also scheduled in seizure clinic at the for follow-up of her seizure disorder. zonegran was increased to 300mg qd (on ) after 2 weeks of 200mg. * 3) leukocytosis and fever: pulmonary source was initially suspected (ddx: hap, aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis) given the patient's hypoxia and bilateral infiltrates. u/a negative, bcx ngtd, csf neg, bal and sputum neg. c dif neg x 4. empiric oral vanco d/c'd . covered w/ meropenem/azithro empirically to cover hap/aspiration pneumonia x 1 week until . spiked on to 101 and re-cultured without any growth in culture. * 4) sepsis/hypotension/adrenal insufficiency: pt was initially on levophed, weaned off after fluid resusitation. minor troponin leak to 0.05. ef by echo 60% with 1+mr. pt was on steroids for ards during last recent admission, and was started on hydrocortixone for a positive cortisol stim test, which showed adrenal insufficiency with a maximal cortisol of 16-17. her hypotension did resolve with stress-dose steroids in a few days. she has been on a prednisone taper, receiving 7.5 mg on , and due to receive 5 mg on . because of the adrenal insufficiency documented by absolute value as well as a relative value, the patient was scheduled for follow-up in endocrinology clinic within 1 month from discharge. she was discharged on prednisone 10mg until this appointment. * 5) pulm edema: ef 60%. pt with pulm edema on after extubation resulting in reintubation. have been due to post-negative pressure pulm edema or flashing due to possible diastolic dysfunction. diuresed but again showed signs of chf after fluid resusitation. swan placed with mixed picture before diuresis. decreased svr and high ci supported a septic physiology, but a high cvp supportive of chf. pt developed upper and lower extremity edema that started to resolve with gradual diruesis. she has been euvolemic on exam for over 4 days preceding discharge. * 5) anemia of chronic disease: the paient's baseline 26-28 from prior admission. vit b12 and folate wnl. transfused 2 units but otherwise has not required any blood products. hct remained stable and >28 without additional transfusions. . 6) thrombocytopenia: hit negative, lfts unchanged. platelets improved with improvement of acute illness. * 7) borderline type ii dm: hba1c = 6.0. pt was temporarily on an insulin drip while on tpn and hydrocortisone, transitioned to insulin glargine with sliding scale, but since the patient had poor oral intake, she had glargine held x 5 days and did not require dosing in the hospital. the patient was instructed to hold any additional insulin and covered with riss until 1 day prior to admission when the patient's glood sugar. she began taking better oral intake before discharge. * 8) nsvt: documented on evening of . multiple 3-4 beat runs over a minute with sinus beats in between. likely due to concurrent medical illness, resolveing the etiology was not clear. electrolytes were normal. pt was asymptomatic without further events. * 9) diastolic dysfunction: ef 60% with 1+ mr, mild-mod pulmonary artery htn. bb has been controlling her rate well. * 10)hepatitis c: mild transaminitis, not significantly changed from prior admission * 11)depression: will restart prozac . 12)f/e/n: tube feeds by nasogastric tube started . -once the ng tube was removed, the pt was noted to have a (+) gag reflex and was advanced to nectar thickened diet until video swallowing study could confirm that she could safely swallow. the patient was seen on the video study to have aspiration with thin liquids. she nevertheless refused to maintain a diet of thickened liquids, despite numerous conversations informing her that this diet may only be for a limited time until her swallow improved and informing her of the risks of swallowing thin liquids such as recurrent aspiration, pneumonia, intubation, or death. - electrolytes monitored and repleted as needed * 13)ppx: heparin sq, pneumoboots, iv lansoprazole. * 14)access: left subclavian and right a-line d/c'd after patient transferred to the medical floor from the icu. afterwards, the patient was maintained with pivs. * 15)code: full code, confirmed by sister. * 16)comm: (home), (his mother's home where he is staying), sister (home), (work). . 17)dispo: the patient was seen by pt who, along with the medical and nursing staff, felt that the patient was not safe for independent discharge because of weakness, imbalance, and because of low dilantin level which would require further loading with dilantin. the patient refused discharge to rehabilitation, stating that she had spent too much time already in the hospital and rehabilitation hospital. multiple conversations informed her of the risks of aspiration, seizure, fall, head injury, and death, but the patient nevertheless demanded to sign out of the hospital against medical advice and left in this manner despite recruiting the patient's husband and daughter to convince the patient. mrs. was discharge against medical advice on , and refused to wait until services could be set up for the patient, noting that she would set them up herself. medications on admission: prozac 20 oxybutynin patch monday and thursday protonix 40 qd dilantin 450 qd combivent two puffs qid

history of present illness: the patient is a 63 year-old woman with a complicated history who was well until until elective repair of a symptomatic 6.4 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm at . postoperative course was complicated by deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, status post ivc filter placement and large retroperitoneal bleed, pancreatic cyst with growth of staph and serratia, small bowel obstruction, diarrhea and ischemic colitis documented by sigmoidoscopy with severe malnutrition requiring total parenteral nutrition. she was discharged from the on after hospital course for enterococcal and serratia bacteremia, multiple deep venous thromboses, severe malnutrition, improving pancreatic pseudocyst, ongoing ischemic colitis, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and depression. the patient was transferred to sanai on at which time she continued to undergo total parenteral nutrition and had fair po intake. she remained afebrile while on ampicillin for her bacteremia. over the course of her rehabilitation stay she was noted to have increasing abdominal distention, lower quadrant pain bilaterally and kub demonstrating persistent ileus. on the day of admission she was noted to be tachycardic in the 120s and irregularly irregular with a systolic blood pressure in the 110s, hematocrit was noted to be 22.9. she received intravenous fluids, protonix, vitamin k for an inr of 2.6 and was transferred back to the for further evaluation. in the emergency department she was afebrile at 99, 100/56, 126, 97%, guaiac positive stool. nasogastric lavage was positive for small amount of dried blood, received vancomycin, levaquin and flagyl and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further care. physical examination: vital signs 99, 110, 108/60, 20, 97% on room air. general, she was awake, alert and oriented times three. heent pupils are equal, round and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements intact. anicteric. oral mucosa dry. neck supple. no lymphadenopathy. lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. cor tachycardic, but regular. normal s1 and s2. abdomen soft, mildly distended, nontender, positive bowel sounds. stool guaiac negative in the emergency department. extremities 2+, anasarca, warm, 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses and radial pulses bilaterally. neurological cranial nerves ii through xii are intact, 4 out of 5 muscle strength in all four extremities. laboratory: white blood cell count 18.1, hematocrit 25, platelets 377, 74 neutrophils, 4 bands, 14 lymphocytes, inr 2.0, arterial blood gas 7.52/39/95 with a lactate of 1.1. chest x-ray with low lung volumes and no signs of congestive heart failure or pneumonia. kub with air filled loops of bowel consistent with an ileus. hospital course: in the emergency department the patient received a cta to rule out pulmonary embolism or aortic enteric fistula or ischemic colitis. the results of this was negative. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for further management. she received blood transfusions for her anemia and continued to receive vitamin k for her elevated inr. she was maintained on vancomycin, levaquin and flagyl and infectious disease was consulted. the patient then went into rapid atrial fibrillation with a heart rate in the 150s, blood pressure 110/50. she was started on an esmolol drip due to her recent hypotension. during this her blood pressure decreased to 47 systolic and the drip was discontinued. heart rate was maintained in the 90s. she tolerated the low blood pressure well. while in the intensive care unit her picc line was discontinued and a central line was placed. blood cultures were performed. gi was consulted for ongoing bleeding and the patient had gastroscopy demonstrating only a hiatal hernia that was reduced with a scope. sigmoidoscopy to 30 cm revealed the luminary with a possible stricture from old ischemic colitis versus a large diverticulum, status post surgical change. on hospital day number three the patient again went into rapid atrial fibrillation with a blood pressure decreased to 87/44 that responded with normal saline boluses. also had a short run of supraventricular tachycardia. right groin ultrasound and right upper extremity ultrasound revealed no evidence of deep venous thrombosis. the patient's blood cultures grew gram positive and gram negative organisms. later that day the patient went to radiology for gastric graph to better characterize the nature of her stricture. the procedure was complicated by bradycardia to 37 likely a vasa vagal event. the patient then went into supraventricular tachycardia in the 160s, which lasted for less then one minute and spontaneously resolved. on hospital day number four the patient continued to have melanotic stools. she remained tachycardic in the 110s. she also grew out vre in her blood cultures and was started on linezolid. a transthoracic echocardiogram was performed on hospital day number five, which demonstrated a large vegetation on the posterior mitral leaflet, normal ejection fraction, 1+ mitral regurgitation. this was highly consistent with endocarditis likely vre endocarditis given her positive blood cultures. the patient then proceeded to go back into atrial flutter with heart rate in the 160s, blood pressure again decreased to the 80s. the patient complained of a sore chest for several minutes, which resolved after she was treated with diltiazem. a long discussion with the patient and her family resulted in the patient expressing that she did not wish to have any intensive treatment, but for her to have ventilation, but does not want ventilation or cpr performed if she became worse. also she did not wish to have a painful procedures performed and would prefer leaning toward comfort care. this was a reasonable decision as the patient continued to have ongoing gastrointestinal bleeding, rapid atrial fibrillation that was difficult to control as well as new enterococcal endocarditis. the patient was transferred to the floor for additional management. on the floor she became minimally responsive. discussions with the family was then readdressed and the patient's family wished to make the patient cmo. they felt this best represented her wishes. she was made comfort care only. palliative care was consulted. the patient then passed on hospital day number eight. condition on

angiographically apparent flow limiting stenoses. the lad had moderate diffuse disease with a 70% stenosis in the mid vessel and a 70% stenosis at the origin of the first diagonal. the lcx had an om1 upper pole with a 99% stenosis and slow flow. the lcx had a 70% stenosis in the mid vessel. the rca was small in caliber and had no angiographically apparent flow limiting stenoses. 2. limited resting hemodynamics were performed upon entry. systemic arterial pressure was moderately elevated (aortic pressure was 160/73mmhg). final diagnosis: 1. two vessel coronary artery disease. . ct abdomen (preliminary report) 1. small hemorrhagic pericardial effusion. 2. small bilateral pleural effusion. 3. no evidence of reteroperitoneal bleed. 4. diffuse atherosclerotic disease. 5. atrophic kidneys. not significantly changed form ct from , . . echo the left ventricular cavity size is normal. lv systolic function appears depressed with lateral hypokinesis (regional wall motion not fully assessed). right ventricular chamber size is normal. right ventricular systolic function is normal. there is a small pericardial effusion. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. . cxr : (preliminary report) 2 views of the chest compared to a single view done 4 days earlier. there are no focal infiltrates or definite effusions. mediastinum and bony structures are unchanged including findings consistent with rotator cuff disease involving the right shoulder. there is also marked aortic tortuosity and prominence, this is also unchanged. over the cervical prevertebral area, there is a superimposed air which likely represents the trachea as well as the piriform sinuses. please correlate clinically in this patient with fever. . ct chest (non-contrast): 1. extensive aortic and coronary atherosclerosis with suspected descending thoracic aorta dissection and intraluminal thrombus, stable. this study is not dedicated to evaluation of the vascular system and additional examination might be considered. 2. right lower lobe atelectasis and small pleural effusions. brief hospital course: mrs. is a 78 year-old woman with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, congestive heart failure, end stage renal disease (not yet on hemodialysis) who was transfered from for management of nstemi. . # nstemi: the patient was diagnosed with a non-st elevation mi at the outside hospital. she underwent cardiac catheterization on showing 2 vessel disease(lad 70%, d1 70%; lcx 70%, om1 99%). during cath, the cardiologists were unable to cross the lcx/om1 lesion with the wire. ct surgery was called for evaluation of possible surgical revascularization given the inability to perform pci. plavix was held given this consideration of surgical revascularization in the future. she was continued on aspirin and statin. the patient was not on a betablocker as an outpatient; however, this was not started initially after cath due to hypotension (see below). her hypotension resolved, and a beta blocker was started. because of ongoing fevers and clinical pneumonia, cabg was deferred and the pt was discharged home with instructions to follow-up with ct surgery for cabg in several weeks. . # hypotension: approximately 2 hours after catheterization, the patient was noted to have an asymptomatic low blood pressure of 74/47. iv fluid bolus was started immediately with some response and her sbp rose to the mid-80's. the cardiology team, including the interventional cardiology attending, and the attending of record were present to evaluate the patient. a stat bedside echo was done given concern for dissection/perforation since there was difficulty attempting to cross lcx/om lesion during cath. this echo revealed a small amount of fluid in pericardial space; however, there was no evidence of tamponade. the patient was given atropine given due to concern for vagal response since she still had a femoral sheath in place. she responded to this medication with good response in her blood pressure (sbp rose from the 80's to 100's); however, this was only a transient response. a stat hematocrit was sent given concern for retroperitoneal bleeding. this value was stable was stable. she was given a total 1.5l bolus of normal saline. the patient was then transferred to the ccu for further management. . on arrival to the ccu, her bp continued to fall, and more atropine was given (total 1.2mg) along with a dopamine infusion for augmentation of blood pressure. a triple lumen catheter was placed in her right femoral vein, and 2 units of prbcs were transfused. she was taken for an emergent ct abdomen once her map was consistently above 65 while on dopamine drip. neosynephrine was added for a short period en route to ct, but was titrated off during the scan. this ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis was negative for a retroperitoneal bleed. on return to the ccu, an arterial line was placed. the pt. became somewhat delerious and agitated and was given haldol 1mg x2 and 0.25 mg lorazepam x2 for sedation. . she did well overnight with improvement in her blood pressure. dopamine was titrated off at 12am (total duration approximately 4 hours). after weaning dopamine, the patient maintained her blood pressure well in the range of 104-143/50-76. . the etiology of her hypotension was thought to be secondary to a vagal response due to her femoral sheath. once her blood pressure stabilized, she was started on a low dose betablocker. she remained with normal blood pressure throughout the remainder of her stay. . # fever: the patient spiked temperature overnight on . she denied all infectious symptoms. her wbc count was normal. ua was negative, blood cultures show no growth to date. cxr did not show evidence of pneumonia, however pt had adventitious lung sounds on exam. she continued to spike fevers for several days, and then became mildly hypoxic, so she was started on levofloxacin for presumed pneumonia. . # end stage renal disease: the patient is not yet on hemodialysis. during this admission, her creatinine bumped slightly from 2.4 to 2.8. her fena was less than 1%. she was likely prerenal with a component of contrast nephropathy from the catheterization. her creatinine promptly improved from 2.8 back to her baseline of 2.4. . # hyperlipidemia: she was placed on lipitor 80mg daily given her nstemi. . # htn: she is on norvasc as an outpatient. this was held initially due to her hypotension. she was later started on a low dose of metoprolol given her nstemi, and her norvasc was discontinued. her acei was also held both during the admission and upon discharge due to her renal dysfunction and upcoming cabg. . # depression: she was continued on zoloft. . # hypothyroidism: she was continued on her outpatient dose of levothyroxine. . # code: she was originally dnr/dni, however after further discussion with the pt, she decided to be full code. . medications on admission:

by podiatry, who probed her wound to bone, obtained wound and blood cultures, and ordered chem 10, cbc, coags, lactate, esr, and foot xray. she was started on unasyn empirically. . 1) toe ulcer: ms. presented with an ulcer that had been present for six months with fluctuating course, and was found to be osteomyelitis after being probed to bone, with possible cellulitis spreading in foot. she was started on vancomycin, levofloxacin, and flagyl. a culture of the wound grew levo-resistant group b strep, mssa, and diptheroids. levofloxacin was discontinued. insufficiency was confirmed by doppler of lower extremities and abis which showed significant bilateral popliteal/tibial artery occlusive disease with severe flow deficit to both forefeet. additionally, she was found to have poor proprioception in her toes on admission. on , a new pungent odor from toe was appreciated. although her white count was intermittently elevated, the erythema was stable, as was her temperature. surgery was then consulted: procedures: - diagnostic abdominal aortogram and pelvic arteriogram with unilateral lower extremity runoff, contralateral third order catheterization, primary balloon angioplasty of the anterior tibialis x 3. infusion for thrombolysis of the distal at. cpt codes , , , - open third ray amputation left foot - exploration of right groin and repair of bleeding, right common femoral artery. , . - operation: 1. open ray amputation left fourth toe. 2. debridement of skin and subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and bone. . 2) acute on chronic renal failure: ms. had had a prior nephrectomy for secondary fsgs and a perinephric abscess. on admission, her baseline creatinine was around 3.0-3.5. she was admitted with a creatinine of 3.9, which rose to 5.5. lasix was d/c'ed as there was no evidence of volume overload. all medications were redosed for inrenal function as needed. she had had a previous failed attempt at av fistula formation due to poor vessel quality, so she then received a central venous dialysis catheter. renal team followed her and she was dialyzed twice while on the medicine service with procrit, iron, and calcitriol given at dialysis as needed. the etiology of the acute renal process was never definitively determined, although it was thought that there may have been contribution from medications, volume depletion, or an intrinsic process. there were signs suggestive of an intrinsic renal process, including albumin:cr of 176 (serum albumin low at 2.8, lfts normal) and granular casts were noted on urinary sediment, suggestive of atn. she was continued on an ace inhibitor to minimize albumin loss. she was not a regular hd schedule. this will be determined by renal. she did get hd . on - this was renals recommendations: access - tunneled line no issues, working well at hd . renal function - esrd . na, bp volume - cont lopressor, lisinopril . potassium - low k diet, 3.5 k bath . acid base - 35 bicarb bath at hd . anemia - epo

to volume overload, as she had received approximately 1 liter of iv fluids in the preceding day as renal protection for scheduled angiography. her oxygen saturation fell to 92% on room air on , and she was put on 2l oxygen by nasal cannula with improvement to 99%. a cxr was c/w volume overload. by the afternoon of , her oxygen saturation was adequate on room air, and she denied further symptoms. . 4) dermatomal vesicular rash- first noted by the patient on on chest midline t4, tender to light touch. this was felt to be concerning for vzv. acyclovir was started empirically and she was put on contact precautions. a dfa came back negative for vzv on , and acyclovir was discontinued. much improved on dc. . 5) type ii diabetes: ms has longstanding dm that she says is controlled by diet alone and her hba1c has always been less than or equal to 6.4%, which implies reasonable control. she says that she is followed by an ophthalmologist at and that she does not have any ocular disease. she strongly denies neuropathy, although her position sense in her toes did not appear to be fully intact. her finger sticks were monitored , and then changed to qid for tighter control on an insulin sliding scale. . 6) 5 point hematocrit drop- from to , patient's hematocrit dropped from 29.8 to 24.0. there was no record of significant blood loss during ir procedure. she had no sign of hematoma at procedure site. a haptoglobin, ldh, and tbili were not consistent with a hemolytic process. all stools were guaiac negative. 2 units prbcs were given with an appropriate response, and she experienced no further drop in hematocrit. to note pt did have an angiogram on . on it was thought that the pt developed a psueedo anuerysm post cath. pt experienced extreme thigh pain / dropped her pressure. pt was taken to the the or emrgently for hematoma evacuation and repair odf her femoral arery. pt did recieve prbc. on dc hct is stable . 7) asthma: ms. has had no prior hospitalizations or oral steroid use for her asthma. she had an exacerbation on at night, but responded to albuterol inhaler with no further exacerbations. she was given albuterol and fluticasone inhalers daily for control of symptoms. . 8) atrial fibrillation/flutter: ms has a history of paroxysmal a-fib. she is on warfarin, and was admitted with a supratherapeutic inr at 3.9 that rose to 4.5. lfts were normal. warfarin was held. she was given vitamin k and 2 units of fresh frozen plasma with correction of her inr to 1.3. im heparin was given for dvt prophylaxis at this point. when her vascualr issues were completed. pt restarted on her coumadin on dc her inr is 1.6 . 9) social/financial: patient expressed concerns regarding insurance coverage of dialysis and that she has been trying to get on medicare. she is on disability and has few financial resources. social work was consulted and will follow with recommendations for outpatient dialysis placement. . 10) ms. hypertension was controlled on lisinopril, nifedipine. . 11) hypertriglyceridemia: a lipid panel was ordered which showed trigglycerides 294, cholesterol 167, and ldl 89. before hospital discharge, her pcp should be consulted regarding whether she would advise adding gemfibrozil. medications on admission: albuterol 17 gm, 2 puffs qid prn cough allopurinol 200 mg qday atenolol 50 mg qday azmacort 100 mcg, 3-4 puffs furosemide 40 mg qday

history of present illness: mr. is an 82-year-old male with a past medical history for benign prostatic hypertrophy, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, with recent onset of dyspnea on exertion but denied any evidence of chest pain. this brought him to be evaluated by his primary care physician, ultimately led to a positive stress test showing 2 mm st segment depressions in the inferior and lateral leads, relieved by rest but ultimately asymptomatic. he was admitted on to and was therefore transferred to , where he underwent cardiac catheterization. cardiac catheterization revealed a left ventricular end diastolic pressure of 22. there was some mild mitral regurgitation seen. left ventricular ejection fraction was reported as "normal," with no mitral regurgitation. left main coronary artery was calcified with diffuse tubular stenosis of approximately 80%. the left anterior descending had 70 to 80% mid-left anterior descending lesion after the diagonal. the left circumflex was very small, with marginals. there was a ramus that was also present with major lateral wall vessel, 70% mid and 90% small upper pole branch. the right coronary artery with diffuse mild disease, 50% origin, very short posterior descending artery, distal disease in the short plv. the left internal mammary artery filled late on left ventriculogram. no angina was seen. as a consequence, the patient was diagnosed with significant left main disease as well as three vessel coronary artery disease. he was admitted to the c-med service and cardiothoracic surgical consultation was obtained with dr. and dr. . the patient agreed to have elective surgery and ultimately went to the operating room on , where he underwent a coronary artery bypass graft x 2, including saphenous vein graft to the left anterior descending, and saphenous vein graft to the ramus. this was done because of the late filling and poor quality of the left internal mammary artery. the patient's pericardium was left open. he had a right radial a-line, right internal jugular swan-ganz catheter, one ventricular and one atrial pacing wires present. he had mediastinal and right pleural tube, as well as mean arterial pressure of 68 and a right atrial pressure of 10. pulmonary artery diastolic pressure was 12, with a mean of 18. he was a-paced at 68. he was on a propofol drip at 20 mcg/kg/minute, and nitroglycerin at 1 mcg/kg/minute. he was transferred to the cardiac surgical recovery unit, where by postoperative day number one, he was extubated, alert and oriented. he was 80, with a-paced. his rhythm was 30, 129/48 blood pressure. he was 98% on nasal cannula with a blood gas of 7.38/39/82/24/-1. his postoperative hematocrit was 25, his bun and creatinine were 18 and 1.0. preoperative hematocrit was 39, and preoperative creatinine was 1.0. neurologically, he was intact. cardiovascularly, lopressor and aspirin and captopril were started. chest tubes were kept in. he was started on a cardiac diet, and was ultimately transferred to the floor. on the floor, the patient did well. he had no issues. his chest tubes were subsequently removed. he was continued to have lopressor held due to the fact that he still required a-pacing and was being paced -max was 101.3 going into postoperative day number two. this was felt to be due to poor pulmonary toilet. he was therefore worked on aggressively with chest physical therapy and incentive spirometry, as well as coughing and deep breathing drills. he was 95% on nasal cannula. no blood gas was available. hematocrit was 25 on postoperative day number two, and bun and creatinine were 21 and 1.2. on the floor, physical therapy worked with the patient. he was ambulating at a level iii by postoperative day number three. he had no complaints overall. ep consultation was called for a seven beat run of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia but, given his normal ejection fraction and the fact that his beta blocker was being held, they just recommended repleting his electrolytes as needed, starting a beta blocker when it would be tolerated when he was no longer being paced, and no further intervention was required. his chest tubes were ultimately removed on postoperative day number two. on postoperative day number three, he was ambulating, still at a level iii. his lungs were clear. oxygen saturation was 96%. blood pressure was 118/47, with a heart rate of 73 and sinus. no further ventricular ectopy or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia was seen. hematocrit was 24, bun and creatinine were 25 and .3. at the time of discharge, the patient's sternum was stable, no drainage or erythema, open to air. the heart was regular, with no murmur, rub or gallop. the lungs were clear, decreased at the bases. the extremities were warm and well perfused, with palpable dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally. his hematocrit was 24, his bun and creatinine were 25 and 1.3. his white blood cell count was 11,000. he was ambulating at a level iv. his lopressor was titrated accordingly. his wires were ultimately removed. the patient was deemed an appropriate rehabilitation candidate due to the fact that he only reached level iv one time and was otherwise persistently ambulating at a level iii. he was requesting the rehabilitation facility, which was ultimately what we tried to achieve for him. discharge medications:

history of present illness: this is a 63-year-old woman with no known coronary artery disease who was in her usual state of health until the saturday night prior to admission when she started to experience chest pain. the pain was sharp located substernal and left chest region radiating to the back to the right chest and to the left arm. she also had some diaphoresis, nausea, and vomiting, but no shortness of breath. she thought her symptoms were due to flu-like symptoms. she had persistent symptoms, but did not seek any medical advice. she presented to the emergency room on monday (two days after her initial presentation) as a walk-in patient. she complained of chest pain. her initial electrocardiogram showed q waves, st elevation, and t-wave inversions in leads ii, iii, and avf. she was treated with aspirin, morphine, and nitroglycerin. her chest pain subsided to . she remained hemodynamically stable in the emergency room. she was later transferred to for percutaneous transluminal angiography. however, the percutaneous transluminal angiography was unsuccessful due to the difficulty of her achieving greater than timi flow. the patient also experienced some transient bradycardia intraoperatively, and required a temporary pacer placement. she was transferred to ccu in stable condition for further medical management. medications: none. allergies: no known drug

sublingual nitroglycerin and morphine. her ck peaked at 2048 on admission, and continued to trend down to 147 on discharge. she had an echocardiogram done on hospital day two, which showed ejection fraction of 30% with inferior-posterior infarction. a temporary pacer wire was pulled on hospital day three, and she had no significant events on telemetry. she had episodes of hyponatremia which serum sodium down to 128 secondary to congestive heart failure, which was successfully managed with aggressive diuresis. on discharge, her serum sodium went back to 136. her urine culture went back positive for e. coli. she was also treated for a seven-day course of bactrim for uncomplicated urinary tract infection. patient's hip culture also came back positive for corynebacterium, but it was very likely contaminant, so the decision was not to treat, but to draw a set of blood cultures, given the patient was doing well clinically without fever and increasing white blood cell count. she also developed guaiac-positive stools while inhouse with hematocrits slowly changing down from 36 to 30. hematocrit was stabilized around 30 with protonix tid. decision was made to have outpatient and esophagogastroduodenoscopy workup. she tolerated medical management with aspirin, beta blocker, ace inhibitor, statin, and diuretics very well. the patient was evaluated by physical therapist before

fluoroscopic images were obtained intraoperatively without the presence of a radiologist. flouro time recorded as 533.1 s on the electronic requisition. views demonstrate steps related to fixation of a distal femoral shaft fracture. fcorrelaiton with real-time findings and,when appropriate, conventional radiographs is recommended for full assessment. . cta chest impression: 1. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. interval progression of metastatic disease since with increase in the size and number of metastatic foci. 3. interval development of pulmonary edema and small bilateral pleural effusion. . femur right the film is listed as two views of the femur. however, the study consists of a single view of the femur and a single view of the right lower extremity. the right hip and proximal femoral neck are not well evaluated on this scan. no acute fracture is detected on this limited exam. no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are detected. some non-aggressive periosteal new bone seen in the proximal tibial diaphysis medially likely relates to a muscle insertion site. however, if this corresponds to the site of symptoms, then conventional ap and lateral views of the right lower extremity or alternatively an mri scan would be recommended for further assessment. there are degenerative changes of the right knee. . bilateral lenis: there is nonocclusive thrombus of some age in one of the left posterior tibial veins. the other deep veins of the lower extremities show no ultrasound evidence of deep venous thrombosis. brief hospital course: ms. is a 60 year old woman with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. she underwent an orif on . her post-operative course was complicated by atrial fibrillation with rvr and hypotension. . # dvt: patient was found on leni to have left posterior tibial vein deep vein thrombosis. it was unclear how long the blood clot had been there (chronic or new). patient was started on lovenox (therapeutic dosing) and given her hemoptysis, closely monitored. patient did not have any issues with increased bleeding on lovenox. - continue lovenox 110mcg q12 daily . # hemoptysis: on and ms. had an episode of hemoptysis. each episode was approximately 1 teaspoon. pulmonary was consulted who felt this was likely related to known pulmonary metastatic disease in the presence of lovenox for dvt prophylaxis. patient did benefit from 2l nasal cannula at night, more for osa. ultimately, patient's lovenox had to be increased to therapeutic doses given her left lower extremity dvt. she did not have any hemoptysis for >48 hours, however, prior to discharge - with close supervision. - continue 2l nasal cannula at night, room air during the day - continue lovenox at dvt treatment dosing . #. s/p left orif: she underwent a orif. she was started on enoxaparin post-operatively. she worked with physical therapy. - patient has follow-up appointment in orthopedic surgery clinic on at 10:40am (for xrays on 2nd fl) and 11am (w/ , np) - please encourage patient to continue working with physical therapy. she should get extra pain medications as needed prior/during work with physical therapy. . # pain control: the pain service was consulted to help manage ms. pain. she was started on nortriptyline and increased morphine. nortriptyline was eventually stopped given some concerns for tremor and weakness in her upper extremities. patient was started on gabapentin, ms contin (titrated up to 90mg tid) and lidocaine patches with control of her pain. - continue morphine sulfate ir 15-30mg every 4 hours for breakthrough pain - continue ms contin 90mg tid for ongoing pain (can decrease to 90/60/90mg if overly sedated) - continue gabapentin and lidocaine patches - the latter has been particularly helpful in controlling patient's pain . #. atrial fibrillation: her post-operative course was complicated by atrial fibrillation with rvr and hypotension. she required care in the sicu. cardiology was consulted. she was loaded with digoxin and converted into a regular rate. she maintained a regular rate throughout the rest of the hospitalization. she was placed on metoprolol tid. - continue current metoprolol tid dose . #. delirium: post-op course complicated by delirium. this resolved outside of the icu. - continue lorazepam prn for anxiety and before bed to help with sleep . #. metastatic renal cell: ms. is s/p nephrectomy/adrenalectomy, spinal tumor resection/t9-l2 fusion, and left orif on . a family meeting was held on which discussed her treatement plans. she will restart her sutent after allowing a couple of weeks for her fracture to heal. patient does also have a number of metastasis to her skin (left flank purplish nodules), confirmed by biopsy pathology reports. . # hypothyroidism: continue home dose of levothyroxine. . # skin nodules: per review of path reports, she has nodules on her back which were consistent with known metastatic disease. . # oxygen saturation: desaturates slightly when sleeping. likely due to obstructive sleep apnea. - continue 2l nasal cannula when sleeping - continue incentive spirometry, mobilization, and avoid increasing sedating meds. . code: ms. is full

otherwise hemodynamically stable throughout her time there. her physical examination was reportedly noteworthy for mild lethargy, slightly dry mucous membranes, and no meningeal signs; her exam was reportedly otherwise unremarkable. her labs were noteworthy for a wbc of 16.6 (75 pmn, 20 bands, 3 monos, 2 eos), hct 36.1 (baseline high 20's), plt 31 (baseline low 40's); na 130, no anion gap,

1.19 cxr: progressive, bibasilar patchy opacities (l > r) consistent with worsening pulmonary edema, no clear infiltrate, r ij catheter in good position brief hospital course: 35 yo woman with autoimmune hepatitis leading to cirrhosis currently undergoing evaluation for liver transplantation, crohn's disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, pancytopenia, who was transferred from osh with sepsis most likely due to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis complicated by bacteremia. she was in the micu from - . then she was transferred to the floor. 1. sepsis: the pt was initially empirically treated with ceftriaxone for a presumed sbp, along with vancomycin and flagyl to cover possible secondary sbp and/or cholangitis. an lp was preformed revealing no wbc's. blood and urine cx's did not grow out anything. blood cultures from the osh however, grew out klebsiella x2, sensitive to levofloxacin, but only intermediately sensitive to cefoxitin, so her ceftriaxone was switched to levofloxacin. a repeat paracentesis was preformed on hd2 which revealed ~1100 wbcs, down from 2300 at prior to admission. because the wbc decline was not as substantial as anticipated on levofloxcin, flagyl and vancomycin were continued. she was given a course of sepsis dose hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone for 7 days. she did not require pressors. she becamse hemodynamically stable and was transferred to the floor. the patient did not have a repeat paracentesis because her white count continued to decline. flagyl was stopped on . levofloxacin will be continued for a total of 14 days from the start and she will be placed on cipro 500 qd for sbp ppx. 2. altered mental status: altered ms to toxic-metabolic encephalopathy secondary to overwhelming sepsis. other etiololgies for altered mental status were investigated: an lp was preformed to rule out meningitis. head ct was preformed and was negative. ammonia levels were checked given her history of cirrhosis, and returned only mildly elevated at 49. serum and urine tox screens were negative. once extubated, pt was alert and oriented with baseline ms. 3. respiratory distress: on admission patient had a primary respiratory alkalosis secondary to persistent tachypnea, likely induced by her septic state. in addition she had a lactic acidosis. her rr had been greater than 30 for nearly 12hours on admission, hence she was intubated to ensure an adequate airway. on hd1, after aggressive fluid ressucitation and receiving blood products, she became increasingly hypoxic secondary to pulmonary edema, and required increased peep's to 10 for adequate oxygenation. she was gently diuresed, and her respiratory status improved. on hd3 she was requiring minimal pressure support and peep, and was successfully extubated. she had no ongoing respirtoy issues. 4. arf: developed a cr increase from 1.0 to 1.5 post-diuresis. arf thought to be secondary to intravascular depletion secondary to over-diuresis. lasix was held pts arf resolved, with cr returning to 1.0 and brisk uop daily. 5. cirrhosis: the patient has decompensated liver failure with decreased synthetic function and portal hypertension. the gi service followed the patient throughout her icu and floor stay. her admission inr of 2.3 improved daily back to her baseline of 1.5 with hydration. her dic labs were followed daily and were within normal range. she received an albumin infusion on hd 1 and 3 per sbp protocol to prevent hepatorenal syndrome sequelae. as she was a candidate for liver , she was followed by the service as well. on her last day of icu stay, her inr rose to 2.0. given that she was npo for several days, this was thought to be secondary to malnutrition, and she was given vit k. however, the patient had repeated doses of vitamin k over a few days and her inr failed to respond. this will need to be followed as an outpatient. for her extravascular volume overload, her aldactone was restarted and she was discharged on her home dose of lasix - 40 po qd. 5. anemia: pt's admission hct was roughly at baseline of 28. hct decreased progressively to 19 on hd2 with guaiac + stools and ng lavage with blood clots. pt was transfused with prbc's and hct stabilized at ~30, with ng lavage back to bilious aspirates. gi considered an egd, however once hct stabilized this was held off. no evidence of hemolysis on lab data. protonix continuous infusion was started for gi protection. this was switched to po when she was sent to the floor. the patient will continue her lansoprazole as an outpatient. 6. thrombocytopenia: pt has known baseline thrombocytopenia due to myelofibrosis and/or end stage liver disease of ~40. plt levels continued to drop during hospital course, with no evidence of obvious bleed or hemolysis. the likely cause is splenic sequestration. pt was transfused to keep plts >50 prior to invasive procedure, otherwise >10k unless suspicion for active bleed. her platlets were 24 on day of discharge and this will need to be followed closely as an outpatient. 7. transaminitis: most likely due to mild tissue hypoperfusion in the setting of sepsis, although liver enzymes may be elevated due to cholangitis as noted above. liver enzymes gradually declined throughout stay with adequate hydration. 8. crohn's disease: pts sulfasalizine was continued. stress dose steroids were started in setting of sepsis in place of budesonide for total of 7 days. the patient was tapered to 10mg of prednisone and will continue on this. budesemide was no restarted and dr. will follow this up as an outpatient with the patient's gastroenterogist. 10. allergies/pruritis: cetirizine, hydroxyzine as needed 11. subconjunctival hemorrhage: pt developed a subconj hemorrhage post-extubation. her vision was unaffected, and her platelets were kept > 50 to prevent further bleeding. this was stable for several days on day of discharge. 13. htn: post-extubation pts bp rose gradually from sbp 130's to 170's. she was started on lopressor 25 po tid with good response. this was stopped on discharge because the patient's blood pressure was slightly low and she has no documented history of varices. 14. abd pain: post extubation, pt experienced mild diffuse abd discomfort. this was accompanied by an amylase of 133 and lipase of 228. given that she had no other sx's of pancreatitis, and no obvious cause, she was continued on clear sips and monitored closely for resolution. in the subsequent days of admission, she had no abdominal pain. 15. f/e/n: initial exam and labs were consistent with intravascular volume depletion. after receiving aggressive fluids, albumin, blood and platelets, she became volume overloaded with pulmonary congestion and subsequent hypoxemia. she was gently diuresed until her lungs and respiratory status stabilized, and kept even from then on. she was advanced to a full diet and tolerated this for many days withougt nausea or vomiting. 16. access: r ij triple lumen catheter (with ability to measure svo2) placed and removed with out incident on . 17. communication: mother and step-father 18. code: full (confirmed with mother and step-father)

history of present illness: the patient is a 61 year-old male intubated and sedated upon arrival. history was taken from medical records only. the patient without history of coronary artery disease presented to outside hospital with complaints of chest pain. the patient noted that he felt lightheaded and called ems to be transported to outside hospital. initial laboratories there showed a troponin i of less then 0.04. electrocardiogram with bradycardia, left axis deviation and st elevations in 2, 3 and avf, v3-v5 and st depressions in avl, v2, v1 also with a right bundle branch block. he was given aspirin, morphine and fluids in the field and then the emergency department gave him atropine, started a dopamine and heparin drip. at that point he went into a wide complex tachycardia, which was read as v fibrillation and was shocked with 200 jewels with conversion to junctional rhythm of 100 beats per minute and the patient at that point was hemodynamically stable. the patient was given a half a dose of retavase for lytic therapy and was transferred to for further evaluation and catheterization. the patient was intubated prior to arrival to . in the the patient was sinus tachy, normal axis, normal intervals, 2 to elevation in inferior leads and anterior leads. he was taken to the catheterization laboratory. catheterization wet read showed a three vessel disease with left anterior descending coronary artery totally occluded, left circumflex was 40% lesion and right coronary artery with a 95% mid vessel lesion thought to be the culprit lesion. he had an angiojet and his right coronary artery was stented at that point at which point he was transferred to the coronary care unit for further observation and management. past medical history: no past medical history was recorded. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: the only medication was recorded was benadryl prn. social history: recorded as two packs per day. family history: father with myocardial infarction and mother with myocardial infarction and brother with myocardial infarction at the age of 59. physical examination: vital signs upon arrival to the emergency department, pulse of 71 and blood pressure of 106/palp and afebrile. generally he was a frail appearing male intubated and sedated. heent pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. no lymphadenopathy. no jvd. cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm. no murmurs, rubs or gallops appreciated. pulmonary was not examined. abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended. positive bowel sounds. extremities no clubbing, cyanosis or edema. laboratories on admission: sodium 139, potassium 3.6, chloride 105, bicarb 27, bun 10, creatinine 1.1, glucose 108, white blood cell 9.2, hematocrit 42.8, platelet 440, mcv 101. inr .91 and ptt of 28.2. the troponin i of less then 0.04. chest x-ray showed ep tube in right main, opacity in retrocardiac, possible atelectasis versus pneumonia and on arrival his electrocardiogram was pending. his catheterization showed an ra of 23/24/22, rv of 33/23, pa 33/22, wedge of 22/24, , lv of 90/22, svr 1082 and pvr of 25. his ef was 39% with hypokinetic anterolateral apical and inferior walls. hospital course: the patient was status post stent mid right coronary artery. for his coronary artery disease three vessel disease. he was continued on aspirin and plavix and did well. his beta blockers were initially held secondary to bradycardia and negative inotropic effects. at that point later on he was switched over two days later to beta blockers. on discharge date his beta blockers were switched over from metoprolol 75 b.i.d. to toprol xl 150 q.d. his lipids were checked and liver function tests were checked. he had an elevated ast, slightly elevated alt at which point lipitor was not started, but the day of discharge lipitor was started given that his ast rise was most likely secondary to his myocardial infarction insult. he may need future percutaneous intervention on left anterior descending coronary artery and d1. his cks were followed post intervention and the goal was to keep the cvp around 18 to 20. he did well after transfer to the emergency department and was extubated the next day and weaned off of his o2 and transferred to the floor. for his pump status he was later on started on captopril and on the day of discharge his captopril t.i.d. was switched to lisinopril q.d. for after load reduction. rhythm, his electrolytes were checked regularly. the goal was to keep his k over 4 and his magnesium over 2. initially he was continued on the lidocaine drip until the morning after admission to the coronary care unit at which point he was discontinued off the lidocaine. he had an atropine at bedside for possible bradycardia and secondary hypotension secondary to bradycardia, which was not used and his beta blockers as we noted earlier was held on the first day and later on started as he tolerated it. the day after admission he was started on levaquin for presumed right lower lobe consolidation secondary to community acquired pneumonia. the patient did well and has been afebrile and white blood cell count decreasing daily since transfer to the floor. for him to continue a ten day course of levaquin. he is now on day three of ten and will continue the next seven days when discharged to home or to rehab. gastrointestinal, no issues. tolerating his medications and his diet well. the patient was sent to rehab center for further evaluation and further treatment. final diagnosis: inferior myocardial infarction status post right

history of present illness: this is a 60 year old woman with a history of stage 3a nonsmall cell lung cancer, status post right pneumonectomy whose medical course was further complicated by bronchopleural fistula and development of empyema in the pneumonectomy cavity. she was also status post rib resection and tube drainage. she has also had stenosis of her left main stem bronchus for which she had stent placed. she has had multiple episodes of pneumonia/bronchitis with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus in the past and most recently with pseudomonas. her course has also been complicated by bronchopleural fistula. over the past three days the patient has experienced increasing shortness of breath and secretions. she denies fevers, chills or chest pains. she was admitted to computerized tomography scan on for rigid bronchoscopy. following the bronchoscopy in the post anesthesia care unit she was complaining of increased shortness of breath. she was treated with nebulizers. she continued to experience increased secretions and respiratory distress over night and was taken for an urgent rebronchoscopy, both flexible and rigid. she was found to have a patent left main stem with moderate secretions. the stent was removed and a biopsy was done around the site to rule out recurrent cancer. there was also noticed to be a 2 mm right posterior fistula consistent with her bronchopleural fistula. this was sealed with fibrin glue. following the procedure she continued to have large amount of secretions and respiratory distress and was ultimately intubated. physical examination: on initial examination prior to transfer to the medicine intensive care unit she was sedated but reactive in no acute distress. she was intubated. her vital signs revealed temperature of 98.9??????, heartrate of 108, respiratory rate of 12, and blood pressure 92/61 with an oxygen saturation of 98%. her neck was supple without lymphadenopathy. her chest had loud upper respiratory sounds but was clear at the left base. heart was regular rate and rhythm without murmur, rub or gallop and slightly tachycardiac. abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended with normoactive bowel sounds. extremities revealed no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. laboratory data: significant laboratory data reveals an admission white blood cell count of 11.9, hematocrit 30.9, and platelets 522. chem-7 revealed a sodium of 143, potassium 4.2, chloride 106, bicarbonate 26, bun 20, creatinine 0.8. her arterial blood gases immediately prior to intubation was 7.23/66/64. bronchial washings from her initial rigid bronchoscopy showed 3+ polymorphonucleocytes and 4+ gram positive cocci in pairs and clusters with heavy growth of staphylococcus aureus. hospital course: she was admitted to the medicine intensive care unit where she was watched carefully and sources for her respiratory distress were investigated. she had a good oxygenation, adequate ventilation and minimal secretions throughout her stay. it was felt that her failure to wean off of the ventilator may have been related to anxiety. for this she was given ativan and roxicodone as needed as she takes similar medicines at home. she underwent bronchoscopy on at least a couple of occasions to verify that secretions were adequate and there was no mucous plugging or other explanation for why she might be failing extubation, weaning. these studies revealed no clear reason for why she should be having difficulty weaning from the ventilator. she was also started on ceftazidime and vancomycin given the presence of both methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas in her sputum. while it is quite likely that these are both colonizers given the heavy secretions, it was thought to treat empirically on the chance that a tracheobronchitis may be contributing to difficulty in weaning her from the ventilator. from a cardiovascular perspective her cardiac enzymes were cycled to rule out the possibility of myocardial infarction. she remained with a lowgrade tachycardia throughout her hospital course. evidently she tends to be tachycardiac at baseline, even at home. nevertheless, chest computerized tomography scan was obtained with angiography to rule out pulmonary embolus. the study was also negative. on , the patient was tolerating minimal ventilatory support and was extubated. however, after two hours she was clearly in a significant amount of distress, becoming red in the face, very uncomfortable and not moving air well. she was reintubated. on , the patient self-extubated and immediately began having difficulties with breathing. nebulizers were tried at this time. ativan was also tried. racemic epinephrine was also tried. nevertheless, she had significant respiratory distress and began desaturating into the 80s, 70s and even 60s. anesthesia was called and the patient was reintubated. in addition to her pulmonary difficulties during this admission the patient also experienced an upper gastrointestinal bleed on . esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed esophagitis with superficial ulcerations which were thought to be consistent with nasogastric tube trauma. however, the hematocrit was low and the patient was transfused 3 units of packed red blood cells. it should be noted that the patient was a very difficult cross-match and it took nearly 36 hours to locate compatible blood for transfusion. fortunately she experienced no further bleeding episodes and remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint throughout her admission. from an oncological perspective biopsies done at the time of her bronchoscopy ultimately showed poorly differentiated nonsmall cell carcinoma. numerous discussions were held with the patient and her health care proxy and other family members. it became clear that the patient's pulmonary status is not such much an acute decompensation as it is representation of a continuing decline in her pulmonary status over the past several months. it is unlikely that she would be able to support her ventilation without the assistance of a , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified

history of present illness: this is a 60 year-old female with history of non-small cell carcinoma status post right pneumonectomy whose course has been complicated by bronchopleural fistula and empyema. she also had stenosis of the left main stem bronchus requiring stenting. she has had multiple episodes of bronchitis / pneumonia with mrsa and most recently pseudomonas. over the past few days the patient noticed productive cough and worsening shortness of breath. she was admitted for rigid bronchoscopy on . the stent was patent and secretions were noted to be moderate. over night she experienced persistent shortness of breath and increased secretions. she was taken urgently for repeat bronchoscopy which showed the stent to remain patent with persistent moderate secretions. the stent was removed and the 2 mm right bronchopleural fistula was covered with fibrin glue. following the procedure she continued with secretions and shortness of breath and was ultimately intubated and transferred to the micu on . past medical history: 1. stage iii non-small cell carcinoma. status post chemotherapy, status post radiation therapy, status post right pneumonectomy five to six years

years ago. her daughter, , is her health care proxy. physical examination: she is afebrile with a temperature of 98.9 f, heart rate 108, blood pressure 92/61. her neck is supple without lymphadenopathy. her chest is with loud upper airway noises but clear at the left base. her heart is regular without murmur. her abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended with normoactive bowel sounds. her extremities are without cyanosis or edema. laboratory data: white count 11.9, hematocrit 30.1, platelet count 522,000. bun 20, creatinine 0.8. bronchial washings on showed 3+ polymorphum nuclear lymphocytes and 4+ gram positive coccyx later identified to be methicillin resistant staph aereus. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the micu service where investigation for respiratory status was undertaken. cardiac enzymes were cycled to rule out mi. ceftazidine and vancomycin were started to treat a questionable pneumonia / bronchitis. given the increased secretions and foreign body despite remaining afebrile with a stable white blood cell count. bronchoscopy was performed on two separate occasions to ascertain the extent of secretions, presence of mucus plugging or other explanation for respiratory difficulty. ct scan angiogram of the chest was obtained to rule out pe. biopsies of the trachea revealed recurrent non-small cell carcinoma, poorly differentiated. she maintained adequate oxygenation and ventilation throughout her hospital course. nevertheless it was not possible to successfully wean her off the ventilator. she would become hypertensive, tachypneic and red in the face when her pressure support was weaned off. eventually she tolerated 5+0 and was extubated. within two hours she was in clear respiratory distress and was re-intubated. on the patient self extubated during an apparent confused episode and became immediately stridorous, anxious and dropped her oxygen saturation to the 80, 70 and 60s despite ativan, nebulizers and racemic epinephrine. she was re-intubated. given the clear inability to extubate mrs. despite medical authorization attention was focused on disposition. on further discussion with the family it was apparent that her respiratory distress was not likely an acute problem, but rather more likely representing a progressive worsening of her baseline shortness of breath. mrs. made it clear that she did not wish to be re-intubated, but was not ready to be extubated knowing it may represent rapid onset of her death. she contemplated an extubation trial in the setting of a do not intubate order versus tracheostomy and long term care facility placement possibly a hospice setting. on she elected to proceed with tracheostomy placement. on the days following procedure she remained anxious requesting ativan regularly to keep herself comfortable. on she and her family decided on dnr code status. ultimately on with her breathing still uncomfortable and worsening secondary to increase need for sedating medications she was moved to comfort measures only status. she was started on morphine drip for comfort and the ventilator withdrawn. off ventilator despite supplemental oxygen her o2 saturations rapidly dropped to the 60s. she was pronounced dead at 2 a.m. on . a post mortem examination was offered to the family. of note her hospital course was further complicated by an episode of coffee-grounds in her ng aspirated on . she dropped her hematocrit to the low 20s and was transfused 3 units of packed red blood cells. egu was performed which showed esophagitis and linear ulcerations in the stomach consistent with ng tube trauma. there were no further episodes of bleeding and her hematocrit remained stable. of note it was difficult getting cross match for mrs. taking 36 plus hours to locate compatible blood. during this period she was at no time hemodynamically compromised. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified

history of present illness: this is a 75 year old female with past medical history significant for diabetes mellitus, cad status post cabg, peripheral vascular disease and hypercholesterolemia, who presents to hospital on with shortness of breath. of note, on she was admitted to vascular surgery at for femoral popliteal bypass surgery. at that time preadmission creatinine was 1.5 and after bypass surgery she was in acute renal failure with her dye load and creatinine that had risen to 4. this was recovered to 2.0 during that admission. on she was readmitted with chf and at that time diuresed. an echo revealed an ejection fraction of 50% with mr tr. since that admission she has had progressive fatigue, malaise and decreased appetite with some dyspnea on exertion, pnd and increased peripheral edema in the setting of decreased urine output. she was admitted to hospital where she was found to have crackles and increased jvd with acute renal failure, bun 80, creatinine 4.7. she also had anion gap acidosis with a question of pneumonia on chest x-ray. at , therefore, she was given iv lasix in increasing doses with 500 mg of diuril for potentiation. she was started on a furosemide drip at 20 mg per hour. she was given iv nitroglycerin without effect. on the day of transfer to she had received 500 cc of fluids over two hours with worsened respiratory status and some lateral st segment depressions with elevated troponin. it is in this setting that the patient was transferred to . past medical history: hypertension. diabetes mellitus with resultant retinopathy and neuropathy. hypercholesterolemia. peripheral vascular disease. cad status post cabg in with lima to lad, svg to d1, om1 and pda. hypothyroidism. chf. gout. allergies: sulfa causes an unknown reaction.

dysmorphic red blood cells or casts. ekg from outside hospital revealed sinus rhythm at 81 beats per minute, normal axis and intervals, st segment depressions in avl, 1, . chest x-ray bilateral effusion with cephalization and curly b lines. hospital course: the following is as noted by , m.d., phd. on arrival to the coronary care unit patient was found to be in acute respiratory distress and feeling nauseous with some bright red blood per rectum in the setting of a heparin drip given her elevated troponin at hospital. heparin was discontinued at this time with resolution of her gi bleed. she was started on protonix 40 mg p.o. b.i.d. the nephrology service was consulted for urgent hemodialysis and renal fellow, dr. , saw the patient and after obtaining central venous access, he started hemodialysis with resultant removal of 4 liters of fluid. subsequently patient was managed in the ccu with initially intermittent bolus dose of furosemide. however, this was with minimal effect and, therefore, she was converted to a furosemide drip titrated to urine output of greater than 100 cc an hour. furosemide drip was increased to 40 mg an hour for one day with improvement in her urinary output and her overall volume status improved. however, given the possibility of increased ototoxicity at these doses, nephrology recommended decreasing the rate and starting nitrocor bolus and drip, which was done. over the next one to two days the patient's furosemide drip was decreased to 20 mg an hour with nitrocor drip accompanying. she was also started on metolazone 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. to augment her renal response to furosemide. patient had markedly good response to this regimen and over the next several hospitalization days diuresed a total of 10 liters at the time of this dictation. she had symptomatic relief with decreased shortness of breath and decreased oxygen requirement. on the day of this dictation nitrocor and furosemide drips were discontinued and the patient maintained on iv furosemide at 100 mg b.i.d. with 5 mg of metolazone scheduled b.i.d. 30 minutes before furosemide. this regimen thus far has been adequate in maintaining a negative fluid balance. in addition, the patient was also started and titrated up on hydralazine for afterload reduction and oral nitrates for her preload. the patient's renal function continued to improve throughout the hospitalization and at the time of this dictation her creatinine had improved steadily to 2.9. the patient also had an episode of chest pain and shortness of breath with ekg consistent with ischemia, but no evidence of st segment elevation. cardiac enzymes revealed relatively normal ck with peak at 265 and mb index of 11, however, with troponin which peaked at greater than 50, which is the laboratory maximum. given the patient's underlying medical conditions and after discussion with patient and family, it was decided to medically manage this non-st segment elevation mi as to avoid catheterization at least in the setting of acute renal failure in an attempt to preserve renal function and avoid hemodialysis. hematology. as noted, patient developed lower gi bleed in the setting of heparinization for a troponin leak as noted at hospital. heparin was discontinued on arrival to and patient was started on protonix 40 mg b.i.d. and transfused one unit of blood with appropriate rise in hematocrit. at the time of this dictation, patient's hematocrit was steadily improving and was up to 38. infectious disease. patient was started on a course of levofloxacin at hospital for pneumonia. therefore, we opted to continue a full course of seven days. she did well throughout the hospitalization without a temperature. she had no signs or symptoms of pneumonia. however, one day after discontinuation of levofloxacin, patient developed diarrhea and elevated white count to 21. therefore, this is concerning for the possibility of pseudomembranous colitis. therefore stool was sent for c.difficile and patient started on an empiric course of metronidazole 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. overall, the patient's clinical condition is markedly improved as compared with her admission. her acute renal failure is improving steadily as well as her chf. she has had no recurrent episodes of chest pain concerning for ischemia in the past three to four days. she is making steady clinical improvement and we anticipate that she will be able to transfer to the medical floor the following day. dr. will take over the care of the patient effective and he will complete the rest of this dictation. we anticipate, however, given the patient's clinical course, she will benefit from a cardiac regimen to include aspirin, beta blocker, ace inhibitor once her creatinine function improves. she will further benefit from both preload and afterload reduction. of course, she will need a diuretic regimen to maintain her fluid balance once she has achieved her dry weight. this will likely include metolazone and furosemide in some combination. we further anticipate that patient will benefit from a short course of rehabilitation. thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in the care of this very pleasant patient. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Hemodialysis Venous catheterization for renal dialysis Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Acidosis Mitral valve

patient presented with arthritis symptoms. 3. attention-deficit disorder. 4. history of oral herpes ulcers. medications on admission: 1. insulin: 8 units of nph and 8 units of regular before breakfast and before dinner. 2. ritalin 20 mg q.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient works as a fisherman and lives in . he smokes approximately cigarettes per week and has been doing so for five years. he drinks alcohol only occasionally on the weekends. he has occasional marijuana use. the patient is heterosexual and is in a monogamous relationship. he does have a history of unprotected sexual intercourse. family history: noncontributory. physical exam on admission: vital signs: temperature 100.1, blood pressure 121/54, pulse 112, respiratory rate 24, and o2 saturation is 100% on room air. in general, the patient is a middle-age man in no apparent distress. is well appearing. heent exam is significant for erythema in the oropharynx with dry mucous membranes. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. sclerae are anicteric and noninjected. tympanic membrane examination: cerumen was noted in the left ear canal with clear right ear canal. lung exam was clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart exam showed tachycardia with a regular rate, normal s1, s2 and no murmurs. abdomen was benign. the patient had emesis, which was gastroccult positive. extremities showed no edema with good distal pulses. neurologic exam was intact. rectal exam showed no stool in the vault with normal prostate and normal rectal tone. laboratories on admission: cbc showed a white count of 36 with a differential of 81% neutrophils, 2% bands, and 12% lymphocytes, hematocrit was 47.9, platelets 561. chem-7 notable for a sodium of 141, potassium 5.8, chloride of 93, bicarbonate of 9, bun of 23, and creatinine of 1.6 with a glucose of 730. the anion gap was 39. arterial blood gas was 7.09/19/158. coagulation studies were within normal limits. lactate was 4.6. free calcium was 1.2. chest x-ray did not show any acute processes. ekg showed normal sinus rhythm at 111 beats per minute with normal axis and normal intervals with no st-t wave changes. summary of hospital course by issue: 1. diabetic ketoacidosis: the patient was admitted with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis. he was admitted to the icu. he was given extensive iv fluid hydration with normal saline. he was also started on insulin drip with q.1h. fingersticks. once his blood glucose went below 200, insulin drip and hydration, patient's iv fluids were changed to d5 normal saline to prevent hypoglycemia as he was continued on insulin drip. the exact etiology of the patient's diabetic ketoacidosis was unclear. has no severe infection. however, he did have question of gastroenteritis, and as stated below, he has possibility of candidal esophagitis, although this would not be expected to cause him to go into diabetic ketoacidosis. cultures did not show any evidence of infection. patient received his insulin drip for approximately 24 hours. at that point, his anion gap was closed. after he began to eat, the insulin drip was shut off, and the patient was placed on a standing regimen of insulin. the initial regimen was nph in the morning and evening with the sliding scale of regular insulin. this was suggested after the patient was called out of the icu and put on the regular floor. initially the patient had elevated blood sugars in the 200s. however, his insulin regimen was increased giving him 34 units of nph in the morning with 10 units of regular and 15 units of nph with 8 units of regular before dinner. on this regimen, the patient's blood sugars were well controlled in the low 100's even after he resumed a somewhat normal diet. the patient's anion gap remained closed during the rest of the hospitalization. in terms of general diabetes management, the patient was consulted by nutrition for diabetic diet teaching. he was also counseled by his physicians on the importance of tight blood sugar control and close followup with his outpatient primary care provider. 2. upper gi bleed: the patient had evidence of upper gi bleed given coffee-ground emesis and gastroccult-positive emesis. gi was consulted, and an egd was performed. the egd showed erosive esophagitis with possibility of candidal esophagitis. there was also evidence of gastritis in the fundus and stomach body. the patient's hematocrit remained stable during the hospital admission. his candidal esophagitis was treated with three days of fluconazole and nystatin swish and swallow. he continued to have significant pharyngeal pain upon swallowing either liquids or solids. this was thought to be due to a combination of erosive esophagitis from extensive emesis that he had several days prior to admission and the candidal esophagitis. the patient received minimal relief with viscus lidocaine or nystatin. he was therefore put on iv morphine so that he could eat, and his blood sugars could be better stabilized. prior to discharge, he was transitioned over to p.o. morphine and tolerated this well. he was discharged with p.o. narcotics with continued pain management so that he can eat regularly. it was expected that his symptoms of pain would resolve on its own as his esophagitis resolves. 3. acute renal failure: patient's acute renal failure was thought to be due to hypovolemia from his diabetic ketoacidosis. once he was volume repleted with iv fluids, his creatinine returned to baseline. 4. nutrition: as stated above, the patient had a nutrition consult for diabetic diet teaching. because of his odynophagia, he was placed on a diet of puree solids and diabetic shakes. he tolerated this well reasonably well when he was taking pain medication. 5. candidal esophagitis: the patient was treated for candidal esophagitis as stated above with fluconazole and nystatin swish and swallow. though it was possible that patient's candidal esophagitis was secondary to poorly controlled diabetes, there is also concern for hiv especially the potential etiology for the diabetic ketoacidosis. patient also wished to have hiv testing even though he was low risk. hiv antibody was sent and was negative. patient was given post-test counseling, and advised that if he feels that he is at risk, then he should be tested. 6. code status: patient was full code on admission and at discharge. discharge status: the patient was discharged to home. discharge condition: patient is in good condition. he is afebrile, stable and tolerating p.o. discharge diagnoses: 1. diabetic ketoacidosis. 2. diabetes mellitus type 1. 3. candidal esophagitis. 4. acute renal failure. discharge medications: 1. nystatin swish and swallow 5 ml p.o. t.i.d. for three more days after discharge. 2. protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d. 3. insulin nph 34 units in the morning and 15 units in the p.m. before breakfast and dinner. 4. insulin regular 10 units before breakfast and 8 units before dinner. 5. vicodin 5-500 mg tablet one tablet one p.o. q.4-6h. as needed for pain for seven days. 6. insulin syringe. 7. lancets. 8. test strips. discharge instructions and follow-up plans: patient was instructed to adhere to a strict diabetic diet. is recommended that he continue to take soft puree solids until his odynophagia improves. he was instructed to call his doctor or return to the hospital if he is unable to eat and take fluids. with regards to his insulin regimen, the patient was instructed to check his blood sugars by fingerstick at least 4x a day before meals and at bedtime, occasionally after meals. he was told to do this vigorously for approximately two weeks and then his diabetic control could be reassessed when he visits his pcp. patient was aware of symptoms he gets before becoming hypoglycemic and is aware that he needs to take juice if he does have these symptoms. the patient will follow up with his new primary care provider, . at . he is instructed to call to make an appointment at the first available date. he will be referred to the diabetes center by his pcp. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Other

history of present illness: mr. is a 76 year-old male who was admitted to the service originally on with complaint of progressively worse dyspnea on exertion over a period of years. he also had worsening lower extremity edema and orthopnea. he had a cardiac catheterization in , which showed diffuse disease, which was medically managed. he had an echocardiogram recently before admission showing small asd and moderate as with an ef of 35% with posterior basal akinesis. he was referred to for cardiac catheterization, which he had on showing nonsignificant asd, severe as with a peak gradient of approximately 40 and a valve area of 0.6, 70% lesion in his left anterior descending coronary artery, 80% ramus lesion and other more diffuse disease. his wedge at the time of catheterization was 26. he was admitted to the service for further management and evaluation for aortic valve replacement versus valvuloplasty. past medical history: 1. multinodular goiter. 2. atrial fibrillation. social history: the patient is surrounded by a very supportive family. he denies any history of tobacco, alcohol or drug use. family history: there is no history of coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, or malignancy. allergies: penicillin with an unknown drug reaction. medications on admission: 1. bisoprolol 2.5 mg q.d. 2. coumadin 3 mg q.d. 3. lasix 40 mg b.i.d. 4. potassium chloride 10 mg b.i.d. physical examination: vital signs on admission revealed a temperature of 96.1, heart rate of 72, respiratory rate 20, blood pressure 110/61, oxygen saturation of 100% on 4 liters. in general, he is alert, oriented times three, pleasant and in no acute distress. neck revealed elevated jvd to the earlobe. lung examination revealed crackles approximately of the way up bilaterally. his abdomen was scaphoid, soft, nontender, nondistended. his heart was irregular and he had a 2 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur at the left upper sternal border, also audible at the apex. his extremities were warm and he had 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally. hospital course: cardiovascular: mr. is admitted with progressively worsening dyspnea on exertion, edema, and orthopnea with cardiac catheterization at the time of admission showing severe as with a peak gradient of 40 and a valve area of 0.6. there was also evidence of coronary artery disease in his left anterior descending coronary artery and ramus. he was initially evaluated by cardiac surgery for aortic valve replacement, however, originally underwent aortic valvuloplasty instead with minimal results. he was then further reevaluated by cardiac surgery for aortic valve replacement. prior to him going to surgery he had a fall in his platelets and was found to be hit antibody positive. at this time it was felt it was unsafe to take him to surgery. it was conveyed by the surgeon that it may be possible at a later date to take him to surgery in approximately 60 days if he was retested and was hit antibody positive. throughout all of this time his congestive heart failure was worsening and he was attempted to be medically managed on the floor with lasix for diuresis. this had minimal results, and on he was transferred back to the coronary care unit for possible swan placement and swan guided hemodynamic therapy. a swan could not immediately be placed due to an elevated inr and ptt. while awaiting for these numbers to normalize the patient expressed wishes not to have anything else done and stated he was tired and did not want any more interventions at this time. he was managed well in the coronary care unit without a swan with peripheral dobutamine with an increase in urine output. he symptomatically did not improve, however. on a family meeting was held separate from and then a second family meeting with mr. in which the options were conveyed to him and his family, being either pursue aggressive medical management with placement of a swan and hemodynamic therapy with goals of optimizing him with a goal of getting to a possible aortic valve replacement date in several months or the option of going home with hospice and with mostly comfort care only. after much discussion these options were presented to mr. and he stated "i just want to go home." at this time it was felt after much discussion that it was best for him to go home with hospice services. mr. other cardiac issues including coronary artery disease, episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and a nonhemodynamically significant asd. all of these were managed throughout admission. he will be sent home on cardiac medications as he tolerates, however, he will not be sent home on anticoagulation for his atrial fibrillation. he will be discharged home with hospice services. discharge condition: at the time of discharge mr. was very cachectic and ill appearing. he was frequently in much discomfort and sleeping throughout most of the day. he was taking in minimal po and was on 2 liters of oxygen by nasal cannula. discharge medications: 1. fentanyl patch. 2. ms contin. 3. oxytrol patch. 4. ativan 0.5 mg q 4 to 6 hours prn.

history of present illness: mr. is a 77 year old male with a history of severe aortic stenosis, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension who originally presented to with a several month history of progressive dyspnea on exertion, shortness of breath, orthopnea, and increased lower extremity edema. he underwent an aortic valvuloplasty on . there was minimal improvement in aortic gradient and aortic valve area, and no change in cardiac index. he had minimal diuresis and was started with lasix and natrecor. he was then, subsequently, on the cardiac care unit service for medical management while awaiting aortic valve replacement. while on the cardiac care unit service, his platelets began to fall, and he was found to be heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody positive. at this point, it was decided by ct surgery that he would not currently be a candidate for a valve replacement due to the need to use heparin during the operation. it was felt that he could be re-tested in 60 days for possible resolution of his antibody, and at that time, may be a candidate for surgery. while awaiting surgery, and after discovery of the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody, mr. continued to deteriorate on the floor with an inability to diurese very well due to renal insufficiency and hypertension. he was then transferred to the cardiac care unit for closer monitoring and possible swan placement and hemodynamic guided therapy. a line originally could not be placed due to coagulopathy, and while awaiting his coags to return to baseline, mr. expressed wishes for no more procedures or interventions. he expressed that he was fed up and tired and did not want anything else done. at this time, he was started on peripheral dobutamine through an iv that had previously been placed. he had an improvement in urine output at this point, and maintenance of heart rate and blood pressure, however, no symptomatic improvement. despite explanation of the risks and benefits of central line and pa catheter placement, mr. insisted that he did not want anything else done and that he was tired and just wanted to go home. on the evening of , a family meeting was held with of the ethics service, dr. , the attending, the family, and dr. , a member of the health staff, to discuss options and possible goals and plans of therapy. these options included doing everything possible medically with a goal of getting mr. to the possibility of an aortic valve replacement. the other option included comfort measures only with him going home with hospice. it was felt that he was competent to make this decision. these options were presented to him and he decided that he would rather go home with hospice care. on the morning of , at approximately 10:15 a.m., he became bradycardic with respiratory distress and hypotension. he subsequently passed away at 10:35 a.m. his son, , was at his bedside, and the team was also present in the cardiac care unit. no autopsy was desired. dr., 12-749 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization Combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization Coronary arteriography using two catheters Coronary arteriography using two catheters Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty Injection or infusion of nesiritide Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Acute kidney failure, unspecified Atrial fibrillation Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia Rheumatic heart failure (congestive) Mitral valve insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis
service: ccu history of present illness: this is an 82 year old man status post three vessel cabg in (svg to lad, svg to om2, svg to pda) who presented to hospital on with one week history of exertional chest pressure which occurred only at night, nonradiating. chest pressure nausea, vomiting. it was unlike symptoms of prior mi. chest pressure was relieved with sublingual nitroglycerin. patient initially did not want to go for further workup, but was urged by wife and granddaughter to go to the hospital. at he was ruled out with negative cardiac enzymes (peak ck 96, troponin less than 0.3). at he attempted an exercise treadmill test, however, patient was unable to walk refused, therefore, he was taken to cardiac catheterization on . the catheterization showed 90% left main lad which was totally occluded, left circumflex which was totally occluded, rca which had a 90% mid-lesion, svg to lad graft was 90% occluded, svg to om2 was totally occluded, svg to pda was also totally occluded. he was then sent to for percutaneous intervention. cath here showed rca with 70% proximal, 80% mid and distal occlusion, elevated filling pressures (cardiac index 4.1, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 16, ra 12). rca was stented in two locations with 0% residual. cardiac catheterization, however, was complicated by microperforation which was treated with perfusion balloon inflation. effective hemostasis was achieved in the cath lab and a tte was done which showed only a small pericardial effusion. he was then sent to the ccu for hemodynamic monitoring. past medical history: coronary artery disease. bph. atrial flutter. tia. glaucoma (legally blind). imi (). pacemaker. past surgical history: three vessel cabg (). appendectomy. hernia repair. social history: tobacco 50 pack years, but quit 25 years ago. alcohol one to two glasses of wine per week. he lives at home with his wife. is active around the house. he works frequently in his garden without any dyspnea. family history: noncontributory. outpatient medications: aspirin 81 mg q.d., atenolol 50 mg q.d., bumex 1 mg p.o. t.i.d., zocor 20 mg q.d., coumadin 3.5 mg q.d., prevacid 30 mg q.d., alphagan eyedrops, k-dur 10 meq q.d., colchicine 0.6 mg p.r.n. q.one to two hours, flomax 0.4 mg q.d., nitrocaps. physical examination: physical exam on admission to ccu showed vital signs temperature of 97.8, blood pressure 106/68, heart rate 94 which was v-paced with occasional pvcs, respiratory rate 18, sao2 95% on nasal cannula. in general, patient was in no apparent distress, laying flat comfortably in bed. oropharynx was clear. mucous membranes were slightly dry. jvp was approximately 10 to 12 cm. neck was supple. he had anicteric sclerae. chest was clear to auscultation anteriorly (patient was laying flat due to femoral catheter). cardiovascular exam showed an irregularly irregular rate, distant heart sounds, but no murmurs, gallops or rubs appreciated. abdomen was soft, nondistended, nontender, normoactive bowel sounds with no hepatosplenomegaly. on extremity exam the right groin site was without oozing. there was a 2 x 4 cm stable hematoma. no bruit was present. he had 1+ dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally. skin was warm and dry. on neuro exam pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. there was no tracking secondary to patient's blindness. extraocular muscles were intact by command. he was alert and oriented times three. there were no gross motor or sensory deficits. laboratory data: on admission white count 8.1, hemoglobin 10.3, hematocrit 28.9, platelets 151. chemistry panel sodium 142, potassium 4.4, chloride 113, bicarb 17, bun 12, creatinine 0.6, glucose 173. pt 15.5, ptt 45.2, inr 1.7. ekg done post catheterization showed native beats and right bundle branch morphology with first degree av block which was interspersed with multifocal pvcs and infusion with paced beats. transthoracic echocardiogram on showed ef less than 20%, severe regional left systolic dysfunction with akinesis of anterior septum, anterior and inferior walls, remaining walls hypokinetic. moderate 2+ mr. hypokinesis without pericardial effusion. impression: this is an 82 year old with unstable angina status post three vessel cabg in with stenosis of all graft vessels. cardiac catheterization times two, once at and once at on with stents placed times two to native rca which was complicated by microperforation. hospital course: 1. coronary artery disease. cardiac catheterization showed stenosis of all bypass grafts. therefore, intervention was aimed at reperfusion of native vessels. rca was initially stented on the 22nd with good reflow, however, it was complicated by microperforation. serial echocardiograms ruled out significant pericardial effusion which was shown to have resolved on the day of discharge. on the 23rd patient was taken back to the cath lab at which time svg to lad was stented which showed 0% residual stenosis. serial cycling of cardiac enzymes showed peak ck at 1139 on the 23rd in the evening with peak ckmb of 156 and an index of 21.3. due to the magnitude of the ck and ckmb increase, it was thought that the patient had a fairly large mi. he was continued on aspirin and plavix was added for 30 days post cath to prevent stent thrombosis. 2. chf. prior to current hospital admission patient had a stress mibi done in at an outside hospital which showed an ef of 46%. however, during current admission serial echocardiograms were done which showed a severely depressed ef of 20%. it was thought that the extensive mi was responsible for the rapid decline in patient's cardiac function. patient was effectively diuresed with lasix which showed marked improvement in lung exam as well as decrease in jugular venous pulsation. he was started on lisinopril 2.5 q.d. for afterload reduction. patient tolerated the start of the ace inhibitor fairly well without dramatic decrease in blood pressure. patient's baseline systolic blood pressure runs around 90. 3. cardiac arrhythmia. patient with known as status post pacemaker placement. throughout hospital course patient was monitored on telemetry which showed a combination of paced beats as well as underlying native beats and fusion rhythm. he was restarted on coumadin, however, at a lower dose than outpatient dose due to start of plavix. it was recommended for his coumadin dose to be adjusted to an inr of 1.8 to 2.0 while he continues plavix. 4. hematology. patient on presentation had hematocrit of 28.9 which fell to 26 after the second catheterization while in-house. patient reports some baseline chronic anemia. however, it was thought that the etiology of acute drop in hematocrit was due to right groin hematoma which was present after first catheterization. hematoma resolved spontaneously and patient's hematocrit stabilized at 30 with transfusion of three units of packed red blood cells total during hospital admission. of note, he was guaiac negative. 5. disposition. patient was evaluated by physical therapy while in-house who achieved all in-house p.t. goals. upon discharge it was recommended for him to follow up with at-home physical therapy for cardiac rehabilitation three to four times a week. condition on discharge: stable and improved. discharge diagnoses: 1. myocardial infarction. 2. status

history of present illness: the patient is a 56-year-old male with history of type 1 diabetes, status post cadaveric renal transplant 1?????? years prior to admission, who presented to his primary care physician with fevers for the past week. he had a low grade fever approximately one week prior to admission and felt some chills. these symptoms subsequently improved but returned on the day of admission and his temperature was 101.5 at home. he was admitted directly to medical service. past medical history: type 1 diabetes diagnosed at 14 years of age, neuropathy. he uses leg braces and

admitted to medical service. his temperature on admission was 101.3, blood pressure 140/70, heart rate 80 saturating 100% on room air. his white count was 34, hematocrit 36.2, platelet count 291,000, sodium 137, potassium 5.1, chloride 101, co2 20, bun 43, creatinine 2 and blood sugar 346. his alt was 75, ast 96, alkaline phosphatase 180, bilirubin 0.5. he underwent chest x-ray which showed no signs of infiltrate. his abdomen was nontender and non distended with no signs of peritoneal irritation. the patient was placed on zosyn empirically and his white count started to come down. he underwent ultrasound which showed stones and sludge in the gallbladder and common bile duct and signs of cholecystitis. ercp consult was called and he underwent ercp for diagnosis of cholecystitis and cholangitis. sphincterotomy was done during ercp and multiple stones and sludge were extracted successfully. there were no remaining stones in the common bile duct at the end of procedure. the patient was maintained on zosyn and he underwent interval cholecystectomy on . an attempt to remove gallbladder laparoscopically was made but the gallbladder was very inflamed and the procedure had to be converted to open cholecystectomy. he tolerated the procedure well without complications. he did well initially postoperatively but then he noticed to have an increased scleral icterus. his lfts were checked and his alkaline phosphatase was 671 with bilirubin going up to 6.4. his amylase and lipase were normal. his creatinine was also rising up to 2.2. he underwent another ercp which showed dilatation of cvd and multiple blood clots in common bile duct along with one yellow stone. the sphincterotomy site was bicapped for possibility of bleeding from the sphincterotomy site and double pigtail stent was placed into common bile duct for drainage. after this ercp bilirubin peaked at 7.4 with alkaline phosphatase at 1100 and then started to slowly decrease. white count at the time was ranging between 12 and 17. he was afebrile. his blood sugars were under good control. he was tolerating regular diet. on post ercp day #4, the patient was noticed to be passing several stools with blood clots. he became lightheaded and his hematocrit dropped from 29 to 24 and urgent ercp was done which showed oozing from the sphincterotomy site with pulsating vessel on the bottom and stent eroding injury in sphincterotomy. due to close proximity of the sphincterotomy site to pancreatic duct, bicap could not be applied anymore but the vessel was injected with epinephrine several times and seemed to stop. the patient was admitted to surgical icu for close observation and serial hematocrits. he was transfused several units of packed red blood cells around the ercp but then his hematocrits were stable. he was eventually transferred back from the surgical icu to regular floor and his diet was slowly advanced. he tolerated this well. he was discharged home on postoperative day #14. at the time of discharge he was afebrile, stable, with heart rate of 73, blood pressure 140/60, blood sugars were well controlled. on the day of discharge his white count was 16.7, hematocrit 26.3 which was stable, platelet count 308,000, sodium 141, potassium 4.1, chloride 104, co2 26, bun 20 and creatinine 1.3, glucose in the morning was 94. his fk levels were 16.3 on discharge.

crt (baseline creat 2.9-3.0 in ), recurrent utis with mdr organisms, history of mrsa sepsis/osteo, initially transferred on from for peg placement. * he was originally admitted to on with mental status changes. his w/u was remarkable for vre uti (only 1000 colonies) and a lll pneumonia. he was initially started on cefepime, changed to imipenem and flagyl. a repeat urine culture grew burkholderia cepacia sensitive to zosyn, and zosyn therapy was initiated on . blood cx negative. a follow-up cxr showed resolution of his lll pneumonia. a tagged wbc scan was also performed and negative for infection. he remained disoriented despite treatment of his infection, and he was felt to be continually scratching his left biceps and having facial twitching. neurology was consulted. head ct showed mild atrophy but was otherwise negative. mri showed marked atrophy, as well as subtle changes in the posterior limb of the internal capsule that could possibly represent small subacute punctate infarcts. eeg was requested, but deferred "scheduling difficulties". per neurology, mr. was loaded with dilantin for possible seizure activity, with some subsequent improvement in his mental status. * still at the osh, his hct on admission was noted to be 25, and he was transfused 2 units of prbcs. he failed a bedside swallow evaluation, and a barium swallow showed evidence of penetration and aspiration. an ngt was placed. the patient reportedly did not want a peg tube, but was deemed incompetent to make decisions by psychiatry. while in the hospital, he was begun on risperdal and celexa was increased. * on the day of transfer (), his lab work was remarkable for a hco3 drop 20-->15, with development of an anion gap acidosis. he was started on ivf with dextrose, and given 1 amp of sodium bicarbonate. on arrival to , he was hemodynamically stable. however, his initial lab work was remarkable for an anion gap of 22, with hco3 of 9, glucose of 362. abg done 7.23/22/50

duodenitis, duodenal ulcer not actively bleeding, and hct stable on anticoagulation. treated for uti with zosyn, however, pt found to have new uti during admission with fever, which was treated w/ meropenem. * 1) pe/dvt/chest pain: - pt complaining of chest pain which he reports to have had for greater than 1 month, pleuritic or with exertion. ekgs showed no changes from baseline, no ischemic changes. he had elevated cardiac enzymes, which were felt to be secondary to his poor renal clearance in addition to possible demand ischemia as they were drawn during a period of anemia/ugib. he had lower extremity dopplers which were positive for dvt in left superficial femoral vein, extending to beginning of popliteal. a v/q scan was performed as the pt was unable to have a cta due to his renal status; however, the study was suboptimal, unable to perform ventilation portion of study - on perfusion scan, unable to visualize bases bilateral pleural effusions, therefore unable to r/o pe's. the pt was started on heparin; coumadin was started at 3 mg, then increased to 5 mg to reach therapeutic inr of 1.7. - the patient also had bilateral pleural effusions which were present on chest ct's from a year ago. on , an ultrasound guided thoracentesis of right pleural effusion was performed, 1.2l was removed. pleural fluid showed no pmn's or organisms, ldh ratio indicative of transudative process, pleural cx's negative bacteria, fungus, afb smear, and cytology negative for malignancy. - pt also had reproducible cp on palpation over sternum, possible costochondritis. rib xray negative for fracture. * 2) id: the patient completed 2 week course of zosyn for uti as described above on . however, the pt subsequently became febrile accompanied by change in mental status, increased wbc - now has been afebrile with much improved mental status and decreasing wbc. broad spectrum abx started , with vancomycin renally dosed (discontinued) and zosyn; however, urine cx results + for non-fermenter not pseudomonas, intermediate sensitivity to zosyn, sensitive to meropenem. ruled out for pna, sinusitis, c. diff, line infection. zosyn was therefore discontinued, and pt was treated with meropenem 500 iv x7 days, completed . the patient also had yeast on ua/ucx, and was started on fluconazole x ~10 day course. the pt was subsequently afebrile with normal wbc, stable mental

ground emesis , and again on , requiring transfusions of prbc's, total 4 units. egd was performed , and showed esophagitis, duodenitis, duodenal ulcer, no active bleeding. an ngt was placed for gastric decompression, d/c'd . hct stable on anticoagulation. egd biopsy negative for h. pylori, protonix po bid, sucralfate qid. - the pt also developed fleeting ruq pain. incidental finding on chest ct , showed dilatation of the extrahepatic biliary system with a calcific density in the expected location of the distal common duct. ruq resolved, lft's and bilirubin normal except for increased alk phos ( 208, 439, 452). the pt may have some common bile duct stone/obstruction, given ct finding, however, he has declined ercp despite discussing possibility for progression to infection. * 4) dm type 1/dka: - dka resolved. basal insulin had been held at osh (transferred only on riss). pt's blood sugar was quite labile, fluctuating depending upon po status, infectious states, and had period of both low fsg's to 30's necessitating d50, as well as hyperglycemia to 477. he had fsg's checked qachs, and at 3am. his current regimen includes glargine 18 u at noon daily, as well as sliding scale included. * 5) delta ms: - the pt had an extensive work-up for initial changes in mental status, including an eeg which showed no epileptiform activity, lp with elevated protein and glucose, no evidence of infection, normal op, negative cultures, negative for cmv, virus, vzv. mri showed mild-to-moderate brain atrophy and a chronic lacune in the posterior limb of the left internal capsule unchanged from the previous mri of , no mri signs of posterior encephalopathy seen, no mass effect or hydrocephalus noted, no acute infarcts. - the pt's mental status changes were attributed to combination of acute infection as well as hyperglycemia/dka. he demonstrates mental status deterioration when febrile or infected, and when blood sugars are either elevated or low. the pt now at his new baseline, is awake and alert, speaking fluently, and cooperative with exam. * 6) s/p renal transplant: - the pt's immunosuppresion regimen was adjusted several times during course of admission. regimen on discharge includes: ** tacrolimus 1.5 mg ** sirolimus 2 mg mwf, 1 mg tthsasun ** prednisone 4 mg qd - the pt's cr slightly increased during admission to peak of 2.9. this may have been in

of chest pressure, dizziness, weakness, diaphoresis and hypotension. he was in his usual state of health until 11:00 p.m. that night when he took a double dose of zestril and suffered an episode of nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis and chest pressure without relief which lasted about three hours until he came to the emergency department. in the e.d. patient's blood pressure was 90/58, heart rate 82. within an hour patient's systolic blood pressure dropped to 45, heart rate dropped to 32 and patient was found in 2:1 heart block. patient received 0.5 mg of atropine and 1 mg of epi after which patient went into svt at a rate of 180. patient was cardioverted out of this rhythm with 50 joules after which patient's systolic blood pressure dropped to the mid-60s and patient was started on dopamine 10 mcg per kg per hour. patient was transferred to the ccu at . his ekg showed sinus tachycardia with frequent ectopy. per notes from the outside hospital, his ekg was suspicious for right sided mi especially in the context of receiving aggressive fluid replacement, close to 4 liters, and remaining persistently hypotensive. patient was started on acute coronary syndrome protocol, aspirin, heparin drip, integrilin drip. beta blocker was held secondary to bradycardia. dopamine drip was weaned off and neo drip was started. the next morning patient had an echocardiogram which showed ejection fraction of 40% and inferior/right ventricular hypokinesis. patient's ck peaked at 1293. patient was transferred to for cardiac catheterization. on arrival to , patient was chest pain free. he was on neo-synephrine drip with blood pressure of 140/100, pulse 75. past medical history: hypertension. peripheral vascular disease, status post right carotid endarterectomy in . history of tia. history of anxiety disorder. history of obesity. history of heavy tobacco use. medications: zestril, paxil 5 mg p.o. q.d., xanax 0.25 mg p.o. q.i.d., aspirin. medications on transfer: aspirin, heparin, integrilin, neo-synephrine 20 mcg per minute, protonix 40 p.o. q.d., paxil 10 p.o. q.d., xanax, levaquin 500 p.o. q.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. family history: coronary artery disease. father died of myocardial infarction at the age of 79. diabetes in patient's mother. hepatocellular carcinoma in patient's father. social history: more than 50 pack year smoking history. alcohol use one to two drinks per day. patient is retired. he has four children. physical examination: on transfer to the cardiac intensive care unit, the patient's temperature was 98.2, pulse 82, blood pressure 112/66, respirations 22, 95% on 3 liters, pulsus paradoxus 3 to 5 mm. patient was on neo-synephrine 0.2 mcg per minute. in general, patient demonstrated labored breathing, was speaking in short sentences, was lying in bed in mild respiratory distress. heent patient had very mild right eyelid droop. pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. there was poor dentition, but normal oropharyngeal mucosa. neck no carotid bruits. there was 3 to 4 cm jugular venous distention above the clavicle. pulmonary there was poor air movement, extensive audible wheezing in all fields, difficult to appreciate crackles. cardiovascular distant heart sounds with no murmurs, gallops or rubs noted. abdomen positive bowel sounds, distended and tight, but no fluid wave, no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. normal peripheral pulses. neurologic was intact. laboratory data: peak ck 1500. white count 16.5, hematocrit 39.3, platelets 183. sodium 138, potassium 4.4, chloride 104, bicarb 28, bun 17, creatinine 1.0, glucose 122. normal lfts. ua showed small blood, positive nitrite, positive leukocyte esterase, more than 100 wbc, 20 to 30 rbc. ekg showed normal sinus rhythm, t wave inversions in leads 2, 3 and avf and development of progressive q waves in leads 2, 3 and avf. hospital course: the patient underwent cardiac catheterization which showed right atrial pressure of 19, pulmonary artery pressure of 51/30, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (pcwp) of 27, cardiac output of 4.6, cardiac index of 2.0. patient showed left dominant system and one vessel disease with totally occluded mid-circumflex just after large obtuse marginal. patient's left sided pda filled via left to left collaterals. ptca and stenting were done with no residual stenosis and timi 3 flow. lv-gram was not performed due to reported creatinine of 1.6 at the outside hospital. patient had a chest x-ray which showed bilateral opacities consistent with pulmonary edema, no hyperinflation. 1. cardiovascular. the patient is status post ptca and stenting of mid-circumflex, status post inferior posterior mi hours prior to presentation complicated by hypotension and bradycardia, still requiring pressors during cardiac catheterization. upon transfer from the cardiac catheterization lab, aspirin, plavix and integrilin were continued. patient was started on lipitor. cardiac enzymes were cycled q.eight hours and were followed to the peak. it was postulated that patient's persistent hypotension was due to heightened vagal tone since there was no evidence of right sided mi by cardiac catheterization. patient was subsequently weaned off neo-synephrine and was started on ace inhibitor which he tolerated well. initially beta blockers were held due to presumed copd exacerbation, although patient does not have an official diagnosis of copd. patient was given lasix 20 mg p.o. once and showed good urinary output response to that, since patient did appear in mild pulmonary edema. however, most of patient's wheezing and shortness of breath were secondary to pulmonary etiology. patient has done very well in the intensive care unit and was subsequently transferred to the general medical floor. patient was started on a low dose beta blocker and tolerated that well. patient is to have cardiology followup. it was suggested that patient could follow up with a physician at , however, patient preferred to have followup set up by his primary care physician in his community. 2. pulmonary. the patient does not have a documented history of copd, however, given his extensive history of smoking and extensive wheezing and good response to bronchodilators, patient most likely does have copd. patient was given continuous neb treatments which we were able to change to metered dose inhalers. patient did receive appropriate education about their use. patient would greatly benefit from outpatient pulmonary function tests for proper diagnosis of copd. patient received excessive education on the necessity of quitting smoking. that was done repeatedly during daily conversations with the patient. 3. gi. the patient was treated with protonix for prophylaxis. 4. renal. the patient received mucomyst pre-cath and post-cath. patient's creatinine and electrolytes remained stable throughout the hospitalization. 5. id. the patient had e.coli uti per records from the outside hospital. patient was started on levaquin at the outside hospital. here the antibiotic was changed to bactrim which patient is to take for the few consecutive days during his hospitalization. 6. anxiety. the patient was continued on xanax and paxil. 7. nutrition. the patient is to follow a cardiac, low sodium diet. the patient received extensive education about the importance of adhering to this diet regimen. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: to home. discharge diagnosis: status post myocardial infarction. discharge medications: 1. aspirin. 2. plavix. 3. toprol xl 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d. 4. lipitor 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. 5. lisinopril 10 mg p.o. b.i.d. 6. serevent mdi two puffs p.o. b.i.d. 7. albuterol mdi two puffs q.four to six hours p.r.n. followup: the patient is to follow up with his primary care physician, . , on at 3:45 p.m., phone number . patient's primary care physician is to schedule outpatient cardiology followup for patient about two weeks after discharge. patient will also need an echocardiogram four weeks after discharge. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 23:07 t: 09:50 job#: Procedure: Insertion of non-drug-eluting
