history of present illness: the patient is a 70-year-old female with a several day history of fever, diaphoresis, and aches with a temperature up to 102 at home. the patient was getting out of her car at the emergency room when she fell loss of consciousness times two minutes. she then awoke and complained of headache, was alert and oriented times three. she then became lethargic and became unresponsive and dilated her left pupil. she was intubated. a ct scan was obtained, and this showed an acute left subdural hematoma and diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. she was taken emergently to the operating room and had an evacuation of the hematoma. past medical history: her past medical history includes chronic back pain with unsteady gait, hypertension, palpitations, and restless leg syndrome. medications on admission: her medications included lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d., inderal 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., prilosec 20 mg p.o. q.d. she was started on nimodipine 60 mg q.4h. dilantin was also started at 100 mg p.o. t.i.d. laboratory on admission: white blood cell count 12.9, hematocrit 31.1, platelet count 280. sodium 134, potassium of 4.5, chloride 96, bicarbonate 23, bun 29, creatinine 1.2, glucose 149. pt was 13.2, ptt 23.6, inr 1.1. her amylase was 28. her fibrinogen was 862. she had a negative urine toxicity screen. radiology/imaging: head ct showed left frontal subdural hematoma with mass affect and shift to the right. subarachnoid hemorrhage. cervical spine was not cleared. the patient was placed in a hard collar. the patient had a postoperative ct scan which showed good evacuation of the subdural hematoma and ventricles now considerably larger than previously seen on scan. the patient also had vent drain placed immediately postoperatively. hospital course: on , the patient went for a ct angiogram to rule out aneurysm as a result of subarachnoid blood. neurologic examination revealed the patient localized to pain on the right. pupils were 4 down to 3 on the right and 2.5 to 2 on the left. toes were mute. head ct from showed slightly smaller ventricles with right intraventricular blood, and a question of clot around the ventricular catheter. on , the patient was evaluated by the general surgery service for increasing white blood cell count and distended abdomen. the patient had a distended abdomen, and a ct of the abdomen demonstrated a fair amount of free intraperitoneal air and free retroperitoneal air, particularly in the left retroperitoneum surrounding the left kidney down to the sigmoid area. no significant fluid or abscess, and a small 2-cm to 3-cm loculated collection at the top of the iliac vessels without contrast. her neurologic examination at that time revealed she was responsive, moving all extremities, and following commands. her abdomen was markedly distended and soft without rigidity or peritoneal signs; however, she localized with tenderness on the left side. on , the patient went to the operating room and had a takedown splenic flexure hartmann procedure performed by dr. . there were no intraoperative complications. the patient had an ileostomy done at that time. it was discovered intraoperatively that the patient had a diverticulum. on , the patient spiked to 102.9. her neurologic examination revealed she opened her eyes briskly to voice, squeezed to command on the right, moved spontaneously on the left, and withdrew to pain in the lower extremity. her neurologic state was stable, though with persistent fevers. the infectious disease service was consulted. the patient had a swab during the surgery that grew staphylococcus, so the patient was started on vancomycin on . on , she was started on flagyl and levaquin for the coagulase-negative staphylococcus that grew from the swab from the operating room. also, on , 1/2 blood culture bottles grew gram-negative rods from the blood culture that was sent on , and she was started on penicillin. her esr at that time was 92. chest x-ray on , showed left layering pleural effusion and retrocardiac dense opacity consistent with atelectasis. infectious disease recommended changing the patient from levaquin to ceftazidime 2 g iv q.8.h., continue flagyl and vancomycin, and start fluconazole 100 mg q.d. for surgical prophylaxis. on further evaluation, infectious disease felt that the 1/2 blood cultures from the which grew staphylococcus was most likely a contaminant since it took five days to grow. on , the patient spiked to 104.8. neurologically, she opened her eyes. she followed verbal commands. she localized to sternal rub with both upper extremities, bilateral lower extremities reactive to stimulation briskly withdrew. her incision was clean, dry and intact. final report from the blood culture, positive blood culture from , grew the anaerobe prevotella. further evidence to suggest the patient had an abscess brewing for a while before surgery with subsequent bacteremia. they recommended ct of the abdomen and pelvis. ct of the abdomen and pelvis on , showed small left pleural effusion, a tiny fluid collection in the left colonic gutter, and fluid in the left lower pelvis. abdominal ct showed no tappable fluid or abscess. on , the patient was unable to tolerate the ventilator settings on cpap. the patient was sedated due to difficulty ventilating. her temperature spiked to 103. she continued to move her upper extremities spontaneously, opening her eyes, and was attentive. she wiggled her toes and squeezed to command bilaterally. she was sent for a ct angiogram to rule out pulmonary embolism. the patient had a lumbar puncture done which was sent for gram stain and culture. ct angiogram was negative for pulmonary embolism. the patient continued to have a left small pleural effusion, bilateral atelectasis. chest x-ray showed a left lower lobe collapse with retrocardiac density, and ct of the head showed negative for abscess with small residual subdural hematoma. on , the patient had doppler studies which showed a deep venous thrombosis on the left side. the patient had filter placed. on , the patient's neurologic examination revealed pupils were 3.5 down to 2.5 bilaterally. she was attentive, opened her eyes, squeezed bilaterally to command, held up arms briefly, moved bilateral lower extremities, and wiggled her toes to command. infectious disease recommended stopping ceftazidime for a question of a beta lactonase drug allergy, so ceftazidime was discontinued and white count was followed. lumbar puncture results showed no growth on the cerebrospinal fluid for organisms. the patient was awake and attentive, continued to be intubated. pupils, right 4 down to 3.5 and left 3 to 2. not following commands. withdrew to lower extremity briskly to stimulation (and this was on ). on , the patient's temperature was done to 100.6. infectious disease fellow felt this was indicative of most likely the beta lactonase, ceftazidime, allergy. on , the patient's white blood cell count climbed to 29.6 after trending down to the low 20s to teens. infectious disease recommended drainage of the small fluid collection in the abdomen. she was extubated on , and continued on her intravenous flagyl, vancomycin, and levofloxacin with continued low-grade fevers. it was decided that because the patient's white blood cell count was coming down, and she was defervescing, that tapping the abdominal fluid collection would not be done unless she spiked a temperature and follow-up abdominal ct would be done in the next 10 to 14 days (and this was on ). on , the patient had increased respiratory difficulty after extubation. pulmonary was consulted, and the patient bronched, which bronch just showed atelectasis in the left lower lobe with signs of mucous plugging, and in upper airway showed copious amounts of upper airway secretions. on , the patient continued to have labored breathing. the patient was given aggressive chest physical therapy and physical therapy was consulted to assist with that. the patient was started on tube feeds in early and was tolerating that well, and nutrition continued to follow her as well as the enterostomal nurse changes of her colostomy. on , the patient's neurologic examination revealed the patient opened eyes to vigorous stimulation, squeezed to command on the right, and flexed in the lower extremities minimally to pain. laboratories revealed sodium was 133 on . the patient was started on salt tablets 2 g p.o. b.i.d. she continued to be followed by physical therapy and occupational therapy for aggressive pulmonary toilet. an mri of the brain on , showed subacute subdural hematoma with body occipital pole. on , the patient was transferred to the regular floor. she continued to be followed by physical therapy and occupational therapy. the patient's mri did show increased size of the ventricles. the patient will require vp shunt placement. on , the patient had a vp shunt placed. the patient was extubated in the operating room and sent to the recovery room, and the patient had respiratory distress in the recovery room requiring intubation. she was transferred to surgical intensive care unit for closer monitoring. she also had percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placed on . on , temperature spiked to 101.1. chest x-ray showed left infiltrate and collapse. on , neurologic status revealed the patient was awake and attentive but not following commands. on , the patient was extubated. her neurologic examination showed two fingers on the right and tense to the examiner. opened her eyes. vital signs were stable. she was afebrile. the patient was transferred to the floor on , in stable condition. on , the patient spiked a temperature to 101.8. infectious disease service was consulted. the patient was also fully cultured, and all cultures were negative to date. neurologically, on , the patient was awake and alert with a weak cough. continued to have copious secretions, whispering words, and following commands in upper and lower extremities. the patient had methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus in her sputum and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. the patient continued with bilateral effusions, the right greater than left, and a urinary tract infection. the patient was on intravenous vancomycin and ciprofloxacin at this point. chest x-ray improved overall on . lateral decubitus failed to showed layering with no clear obvious effusions. oxygen saturations were improving, now to 96% to 99% on 100% face mask and 6 liters. the patient continued to be followed by physical therapy and occupational therapy and will require rehabilitation. medications on discharge: 1. diltiazem 60 mg per g-tube q.i.d. 2. reglan 10 mg per g-tube q.6h. 3. heparin 5000 units

consulted for the possibility of a new cva. carotid duplex from osh demonstrated > 70% stenosis of patient's l carotid for which vascular surgery was consulted. during this time, patient noted to have guiac+ stool and a dropping hematocrit. a gi consult was obtained, and an egd was performed which demonstrated blood in the duodenum from a avm. the patient was maintained supportively despite continued bleeding and she was transfused with prbc's to maintain a hct >30. a repeat egd was performed on hd 6 which demonstrated actively bleeding again in the duodenum. a tagged rbc scan confirmed bleeding in the distal duodenum. patient continued to receive transfusions in order to maintain her hct. another egd was performed hd7 where a bicap probe was applied to the bleeding portion of the lesion with cessation of the bleeding. after this procedure, the pt's hct stabilized but did drift down slowly. over the next few days, patient stabilized and was tolerating a regular diet. she was transferred to the floor from the icu and rehab screening was begun. on hd10 patient noted to be more somnolent with +tarry stool. she was transferred to the icu and transfused and a stat egd was performed which demonstrated fresh blood in the duodenum. patient continued to deteriorate from a mental status standpoint with both psychiatry and neurology following. patient did develop hypercarbia and bipap was started as the patient was dnr/dni at this point in time. despite attempts at diuresis, patient's mental and respiratory status did deteriorate over the next few days. any opportunities for operative repair of her bleeding duodenal ulcer were put on hold secondary to these more urgent events. patient did improve briefly, was once again transferred to the floor. however, she continued to have respiratory difficulties and hypercarbia likely stemming from her previous transfusions. her mental status waxed and waned but she eventually did deteriorate on the floor necessitating transfer to the icu. over the next few days, her family at her bedside, the patient experienced episodes of hypotension, altered mental status and hypercarbia. her dnr/dni status was confirmed with her family. an infectious workup was initiated for potential sources of her hypotension and altered mental status and the pt was maintained on antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. the patient became more somnolent with increasing labored breathing and on hd25 she expired. medications on admission: albuterol, amio 200', advair 150'', lasix 80', lopressor 12.5'', prilosec 20' discharge medications:

history of present illness: the patient is an 82-year-old male with a history of hypertension, remote tobacco abuse, chronic renal insufficiency, and a history of a tia who was in his usual state of health until five nights prior to admission when he awoke at midnight with severe epigastric pain radiating to both arms. he also had bilateral arm numbness. the symptoms were associated with diaphoresis and shortness of breath but no nausea or vomiting. after approximately one hour, he presented to the campus where he ruled in for a non-st elevation mi with a ck of 438 with a peak ck mb of 19.8 and troponin that peaked at 10.2. he was started on nitrates there as well as heparin and integrelin and remained pain-free. he denied any history of similar symptoms in the past and has had no prior history of angina or myocardial infarction. the patient was subsequently transferred to for cardiac catheterization. at the time of transfer, he was initially admitted to the cmi service after undergoing cardiac catheterization which revealed a long lad lesion that was angioplastied without stent placement, and a total occlusion of the rca with collaterals. he subsequently became hypotensive and bradycardiac in the catheterization laboratory which responded to iv fluids, dopamine, atropine, and he was then transferred to the ccu for further monitoring. he had a bedside transthoracic echocardiogram done in the cardiac catheterization laboratory without evidence of an effusion. a swan was also placed. there were no stents deployed at all throughout the catheterization. by the time he was admitted, he was off pressors and hemodynamically stable and pain-free. past medical history: tia in . copd with 2 liters dependence of home 02. bph. chronic renal insufficiency. gastritis. asthma. social history: he lis currently widowed. he lives in senior apartment housing in on the . he is very active. he uses a cane p.r.n. for walking. he denied any falls

transfer. 6. integrelin drip on transfer. physical examination: vital signs: heart rate 91, regular, blood pressure 169/81 from a right groin a line, respirations 12, oxygen saturation of 97 percent on 2 liters nasal cannula. general: he was a well appearing male in no acute distress. heent: crusting around the right eyelid but the pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. he was edentulous. neck: the neck was supple without lymphadenopathy or thyromegaly. cardiovascular: his heart was regular with a normal s1 and s2. he had no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. lungs: his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally anteriorly and laterally. abdomen: soft, obese, nontender, nondistended. he had normoactive bowel sounds. extremities: there was a right groin a line and a left groin venous sheath with a swan. he had no evident edema. he had 2+ dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally. neurologic: he was alert and oriented times three, moving all extremities. laboratory data: on admission, the cbc revealed a white count of 7.4, hematocrit 39.7, and platelets of 217,000. serum chemistries revealed a sodium of 135, potassium 4.0, chloride 102, bicarbonate 26, bun 29, creatinine 1.6, and glucose of 111. the initial ekg showed normal sinus rhythm at a rate of 71 with a normal axis and evidence of first-degree av block with prolonged pr interval of 238 milliseconds. he also had a widened qrs of 153 milliseconds, an old right bundle branch block, and no acute st or t wave changes. the ekg was prior to catheterization and the one post ptca was no different. he had a bedside echocardiogram done in the catheterization laboratory which showed normal lv wall thickness and normal lv cavity size. there was no evidence of effusion. it was difficult to assess free wall motion. cardiac catheterization revealed a totally occluded rca with collaterals, an 80 percent lad lesion extending distally which was angioplastied but no stent was placed. hemodynamics: the right heart catheterization revealed pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 4, cardiac output of 8, and cardiac index of 3.8, he had an ra pressure of 10, rv pressure of 43/4, pa pressure of 37/10. assessment: this is an 82-year-old male with a history of prior tobacco use, hypertension, chronic renal insufficiency, copd, gastritis, and tia who initially presented to with a non-st elevation mi and guaiac positive stools, transferred to for cardiac catheterization with ptca to mid lad lesion complicated by hypotension and bradycardia requiring atropine, iv fluids and transient dopamine possibly secondary to vagal reaction, subsequently transferred to ccu for close monitoring, hemodynamically stable at the time of admission to the ccu. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular: as summarized above, the patient had a non-st elevation mi with evidence of an 80 percent mid lad lesion for which he underwent angioplasty without stent placement. he was initially continued on aspirin, plavix, beta blocker, statin, and ace inhibitor. at the time of discharge, his plavix was held due to guaiac positive stools and hematocrit drop throughout admission. he had a transthoracic echocardiogram the day after admission showing an ejection fraction of greater than 60 percent. no focal wall motion abnormalities. he had no recurrent chest pain or shortness of breath throughout admission. in regards to his rhythm, he has an underlying right bundle branch block and first-degree av block which were stable throughout this admission. he will be followed-up by his cardiologist after discharge. 1. pulmonary: he had a history of copd for which he is on baseline 2 liters of 02 by nasal cannula at home and albuterol and atrovent mdis p.r.n. at home. he is also on flovent mdi at home as well. he was continued on his mdi and was at his baseline 02 requirement throughout admission. 1. renal: he has a history of chronic renal insufficiency likely secondary to hypertension and was admitted with a creatinine of 1.6. his ace inhibitor post mi was initially held due to his creatinine. however, this responded to iv fluids and his ace inhibitor was restarted at the time of discharge. he will need close monitoring of his creatinine post discharge in the setting of reinstitution of his ace inhibitor. 1. gastrointestinal: his stools were noted to be guaiac positive at the outside hospital and there was still concern for possible gi bleed given continued guaiac positive stools during this admission and a slight drop in his hematocrit from 39 to 33. it was felt most appropriate for him to have an outpatient gi workup, and his pcp was and will arrange for outpatient colonoscopy. his plavix was held at the time of discharge due to a question of gi bleed and in the setting of not having a stent placed at the time of catheterization. he was continued on his aspirin, however. discharge diagnosis: coronary artery disease, status post non-st elevation myocardial infarction with 80 percent mid lad lesion, now status post angioplasty. hypertension. chronic renal insufficiency. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. guaiac positive stools. anemia. discharge medications: 1. lipitor 10 mg q.d. 2. lisinopril 2.5 mg q.d. 3. flovent 110 micrograms aerosol two puffs b.i.d. 4. aspirin 325 mg q.d. 5. combivent mdi p.r.n. 6. toprol xl 100 mg q.d. disposition: at the time of discharge, the patient's vital signs were stable and he was without complaints. discharge status: he will be discharged to home and was cleared by physical therapy. follow up: he has been scheduled for follow-up with dr. on at 11:00 a.m. it was discussed with him the need to schedule follow-up for colonoscopy with his pcp as well. he will call the cardiology division at to schedule a follow-up with his cardiologist there within the next week. , md dictated by: medquist36 d: 17:03:53 t: 22:08:30 job#: Procedure: Left heart cardiac catheterization Coronary

history of present illness: this is a 65-year-old female with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation presented here with her second episode of significantly sharp abdominal pain. she describes having a prior episode for which she had necrotic bowel, which was operated upon. her pain began suddenly the day prior to admission prompting her visit to the emergency department at hospital, where she was noted to have a concerning physical exam as well as increased digoxin levels and increased inr level. she was reversed in terms of her anticoagulation and scheduled for the operating room, and then was transferred to the . physical examination on admission: temperature 97.0, heart rate 82, blood pressure 135/78, respiratory rate 26, and saturation 97 percent on room air. alert and oriented times three. appeared somewhat toxic and nasogastric tube in place. heart was regular rate and rhythm. lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen was tense and tender with rebound in the right lower and left lower quadrants, also revealing a well-healed scar from prior surgery. rectal exam was positive for melena and guaiac positive. distal pulses were 2 plus. extremities were warm and well perfused. hospital course: it was at this time the patient was admitted for further evaluation and treatment at . patient was preoperatively prepared. laboratories were drawn. hematocrit was 34.8. white count was 9.8. electrolytes were within normal limits. liver function tests were within normal limits. inr was 1.1. ekg was done that revealed the heart to be in normal sinus rhythm at a rate of 85 beats per minute. there was no pneumothorax on chest x-ray. cat scan showed dilated loops and contrast was making it to the right colon. patient was placed nothing by mouth and continued on the nasogastric tube. vancomycin, levofloxacin, and flagyl were started. an a-line has been placed as well as internal jugular venous central line. thus the patient was brought to the operating room for acute peritonitis, where extensive lysis of adhesions took place. there was noted to be volvulus and a loops of small bowel around an adhesion. patient tolerated the procedure well and blood loss was estimated to be 100 ml. patient was transferred to the trauma intensive care unit after this operation. patient was also seen by the vascular service for consideration of possible infarcted bowel. they agreed with the plan to explore the abdomen. in the operating room, there was noted to be no signs of any ischemic bowel and just the adhesions since bowel volvulus was described previously. the patient did have a troponin level of 0.057. patient was also seen by cardiology at this time due to st depressions seen on ekg on the day of admission. digoxin was held as the level was 3.3, and was noted to be well rate controlled in atrial fibrillation. it was decided that it would be best to re-anticoagulate her when safe from a surgical perspective and to followup with the primary cardiologist. they also stated that this was unlikely to be ischemic in origin. on hospital day number three, postoperative day number two, patient began to have increased pain issues. patient was given fentanyl and dilaudid, and received mild improvement. patient was febrile at this point to 100.3 and antibiotics were continued. pulses were followed. patient was extubated at this point. toradol was also added for further pain control. antibiotics were stopped at this time. there was no source of infection that can be noted. the patient was then transferred to the floor. as we awaited regaining bowel function, the patient was seen by physical therapy, who initially thought the patient would need likely stay in the rehabilitation facility and shortly thereafter cleared her for discharge her to home, and on , patient was stable. all vital signs were within normal limits. patient was tolerating a regular diet. was out of bed and increasing her activity participating in incentive spirometry. was urinating without difficulty and it was determined that the patient could be discharged to home with outpatient physical therapy and for her to resume her previous medications as she had been taking them, and to also resume her anticoagulation. discharge diagnoses: small bowel obstruction with volvulus. peritonitis. coronary artery disease. atrial fibrillation. congestive heart failure. hypercholesterolemia. hypertension. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. osteoporosis. chronic back pain. recommended followup: the patient is to followup with dr. in weeks, call to schedule an appointment. discharge medications: 1. morphine sulfate 30 mg sustained release by mouth every 12 hours. 2. oxycodone 5 mg two tablets every four hours as needed for breakthrough pain. 3. docusate sodium 100 mg by mouth twice a day. 4. ibuprofen 600 mg by mouth every eight hours. 5. coumadin 1 mg by mouth every other day at night. 6. warfarin 2 mg by mouth every other day at night. 7. patient is to resume the remainder of her home medications. disposition: the patient is to be discharged to home with home physical therapy. , Procedure: Venous

history of present illness: this 68-year-old with a history of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease presented to the emergency department on three to four days. the patient also reported some nausea with no vomiting. the patient had fallen at home twice in the preceding day and it was the falls that prompted the patient to seek medical care. the patient notes sick contact with several members of the family, including the patient's husband who was sick with similar symptoms for several days. in addition to the patient's fever, cough and falls, the difficult to control with blood sugars reaching upwards of 400 from a baseline of 1 to 200. history is negative for chest pain. past medical history: 1. insulin dependent diabetes mellitus since age 5 2. normal

physical exam on admission: vital signs: the patient had a temperature of 100.2??????, heart rate 91, blood pressure 197/81, respiratory rate of 20, oxygen saturations were in the high 70s. general: the patient was ill appearing and rigoring. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: the patient's pupils were equal and reactive with anicteric sclerae and dry mucous membranes. neck: supple without meningeal signs. there was no palpable lymphadenopathy, no jugular venous distention. respiratory: bilateral coarse rhonchi, right greater than left. cardiac: s1, s2, regular rhythm without murmur. abdomen: soft, nontender with positive bowel sounds. the patient had no costovertebral angle tenderness. extremities: there was no clubbing or cyanosis. there was bilateral trace edema. the skin was noted to have no rash. neurologic: the patient was alert and oriented x2, moving all extremities, nonfocal exam. admission labs: the patient's white blood cell count was 11. hematocrit was 33.3, platelets 184. sodium 136, potassium 4.2, chloride 90, bicarbonate 30, bun 50, creatinine 2.6. glucose was 227. imaging in the emergency department: a head ct scan was ordered and was negative for acute bleed, but did reveal hydrocephalus with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. chest x-ray revealed right upper and right middle lobe infiltrates. hospital course: the patient was given a dose of levaquin in the emergency department and admitted to the medical floor for multilobar pneumonia. upon admission to the floor team, the patient was continued on levaquin as well as flagyl which was added for the concern of aspiration pneumonia. however, over her eight days on the floor the patient continued to require large amounts of oxygen and was becoming short of breath as well. additionally, the patient's white blood cell count which was 11 on admission had suddenly increased to 11.6 on the day of transfer. all micro data, including a csf blood, sputum and urine cultures were negative. legionella antigen was negative. the pulmonary service was consulted on the 13th and the patient underwent bronchoscopy which revealed watery bilateral secretions more consistent with pulmonary edema than an infectious process. bronchoalveolar lavage samples taken at the time were negative for microorganisms, however it did reveal highly atypical epithelial cells consistent either an infectious or possibly malignant process. the patient also underwent echocardiography on which revealed a congestive heart failure picture with left ventricular dysfunction, ejection fraction of approximately 30%. a chest ct performed on revealed consolidation in both lungs bilaterally, all lobes, with a moderate right effusion and a small left effusion. owing to the patient's increasing oxygen requirement and declining clinical course, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit on for further care. medical intensive care unit course: on , the patient was admitted to the medical intensive care unit. the clinical impression of the medical intensive care unit team was that the patient likely had a mixed picture of both possibly infectious process as well as congestive heart failure. owing to her worsening respiratory distress. in addition to the patient's declining cardiopulmonary function, the patient also now had an acute on chronic renal failure as well as difficult to control blood sugars. the medical intensive care unit course by systems is outlined below. 1. respiratory: owing to the fact that the patient likely had a congestive heart failure component owing to her hypoxic respiratory failure, the patient was diuresed upon admission to the medical intensive care unit day 1 through day 3. on medical intensive care unit day 1, the patient diuresed approximately 1 liter and her respiratory status was noted to be improving. the patient also underwent aggressive chest pt and suctioning. she was noted to have excessive secretions. on at approximately 4 a.m., the patient was noted to be in increasing respiratory distress with increasing rancorous breath sounds. the patient was intubated emergently and then large amounts of secretion were suctioned from the patient's airway. following intubation, the patient continued to be aggressively diuresed and was placed on a lasix drip. the patient's respiratory status improved with diuresis and the patient was weaned to pressure support ventilation on the 18th where she remained for several days until the following day. however, the patient's respiratory status again declined and she was placed back on assist control ventilation. bronchoscopy was repeated on which again revealed diffuse edematous and hyperemic airways with a watery secretion noted. the patient was also noted to have mild dynamic collapse at the posterior wall of the trachea. it was still unclear from this whether the process was infectious or cardiac, but was felt likely to have components of both. bal samples were taken and again were negative for organism, but did reveal some atypical cells on cytological examination. chest x-ray at this time revealed diffuse bilateral fluffy infiltrates which could have been consistent with congestive heart failure or developing ards. the patient remained intubated until when after several days on pressure support the patient was extubated in the morning. however, the patient lasted approximately only 30 minutes before desaturating and apparently having difficulty clearing copious secretions. therefore, the patient was reintubated shortly thereafter on . the patient was extubated again on the 24th and this time the patient faired better and did not require reintubation. over the time from the 24th through the , the patient had gradually improving respiratory status, including decreasing oxygen requirement as the patient was weaned to 2 liters by nasal cannula. however, the patient's respiratory state was notable for frequent copious secretions that required suctioning by staff every one to two hours. for this reason, the patient was not transferred to the floor and it was felt that pulmonary rehabilitation would be a better disposition for the patient. 2. cardiovascular: the patient underwent echocardiography on which revealed poor left ventricular function with an ejection fraction of 30%. the patient was therefore diuresed throughout her medical intensive care unit course. in order to better determine the patient's hemodynamic and fluid status, a swan-ganz catheter was inserted on . the patient was noted to have increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressures in the high teens to low 20s as well as mildly elevated pulmonary arterial pressures ranging systolic high 50s to diastolic high 20s. this data further supported the use of diuresis for the patient. by the , the patient was placed on a lasix drip which continued through the . over the patient's course, the patient diuresed a total of over 8 liters of fluid and concurrent with this, the patient's respiratory status improved. additionally, the patient's peripheral edema also began to resolve. upon discontinuation of the patient's lasix drip, the patient was switched to 60 mg intravenous of lasix with which continuous improvement was noted. additionally, the patient was treated with captopril which was titrated up to 50 mg tid as the patient's blood pressure was tolerating this well. 3. infectious disease: the patient was initially treated with levaquin and flagyl upon admission. the patient continued to be treated with these agents through her floor hospital course. upon transfer to the medical intensive care unit, the patient was started on vancomycin offering triple antibiotic coverage. through the , the patient had no positive blood, sputum or urine cultures. however, on , a sputum sample was positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. the patient's antibiotic regimen was changed to include only vancomycin 750 mg intravenous qd. the patient will continue on this vancomycin course through . 4. endocrine: the patient's blood sugars were difficulty to control throughout the beginning of her medical intensive care unit stay. as a result, the patient was placed on an insulin drip which was titrated to blood glucoses between 80 and 120. the medical intensive care unit drip was continued through the when the patient was switched back over to nph insulin. upon discharge, the patient is requiring between 30 and 35 units of nph insulin . 5. renal: the patient was noted to have elevated bun and creatinine upon admission. these levels gradually coursed down throughout the medical intensive care unit stay in spite of aggressive lasix diuresis. at the time, the patient's bun and creatinine have been stable for several days with bun in the 30s and creatinine ranging form 1.2 to 1.4 which are apparently improved from the patient's baseline. 6. gastrointestinal: following intubation, tube feeds were initiated through a nasogastric tube, however, the patient tolerated these poorly, likely secondary to her diabetic gastroparesis. the tube feeds were difficult to get in over the first medical intensive care unit week, however the patient gradually began tolerating more and more and was soon at her goal of ultracal via a nasogastric tube in order to ensure more reliable feeding and disposition to an acute rehabilitation facility. the patient underwent gj tube placement on without complications. the patient's current tube feeding regimen is ultracal with a goal of 70 cc an hour. for access, the patient had a right sided picc line placed for interventional radiology. at the time of discharge, both lumens are working appropriately. 7. neurology: the patient's mental status was slow to return to baseline following extubation likely secondary to multiple medications. however, at the time of discharge, the patient is alert and oriented x2 answering questions appropriately and appears to be at her baseline per family. at no times during the admission were there any neurosurgical issues or issues related to the patient's ventriculoperitoneal shunt. discharge diagnoses: 1.

history of present illness; this is a 70 year old man with a complaint of increased shortness of breath over the past several days prior to admission, positive cough with clear sputum, no hemoptysis, increased right lower extremity edema with erythema, pain. the patient was found to have a deep vein thrombosis in his right lower extremity in the emergency department by ultrasound. cta in the emergency department revealed a pulmonary embolus in the subsegmental branches of the pulmonary arterial vasculature. this was considered a small pulmonary embolus, however, the patient was substantially dyspneic and had a large oxygen requirement. the patient was reported to be on five liters of home oxygen for his diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, however, it was not clear whether the patient had been on his oxygen prior to admission. therefore, the patient was transferred directly from the emergency department to the intensive care unit for close monitoring of his respiratory status. the patient is a poor historian but does complain of chronic constant shortness of breath and occasional chest pain with occasional nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, occasional dysuria and no fevers, chills or sweats. the patient does report paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea and always has to sleep on at least three pillows. the patient states that he has not taken his medications for several days because he "ran out". the patient's home situation is unclear. does not have his own home and lives with various different relatives. much of the history was ascertained by the patient's wife who is known schizophrenic and suffers from paranoid delusions. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease, the patient's ejection fraction is 20%. 2. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. the patient has no pulmonary function tests done at this hospital, however, he has been discharged in the past on five liters of home oxygen. 3. peripheral vascular disease, status post right femoral popliteal in , with chronic venous stasis. 4. insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. the patient has large insulin requirement. 5. gastroesophageal reflux disease. 6. history of transient ischemic attack. 7. history of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. 8. history of nonsustained supraventricular tachycardia. allergies: penicillin with rash. medications on admission: 1. lasix 60 mg p.o. twice a day. 2. lisinopril 3 mg p.o. once daily. 3. lopressor 25 mg p.o. twice a day. 4. glipizide 5 mg p.o. four times a day. 5. combivent, salmeterol, flovent. 6. oxygen five liters. note: compliance with these medications is unknown, social history: the patient lives with various relatives at different times. he does not have his own apartment. he travels along with his wife who as mentioned before is schizophrenic and suffers from paranoid delusions, however, she is reporting that she is the health care proxy and the patient confirms this. however, they have no documentation of this. the patient denies alcohol or intravenous drug abuse. review of previous admission reveals numerous hospitalizations during which patient refused various recommended therapies and then left ama. physical examination: on admission, temperature is 97.6, blood pressure 133/55, heart rate 83, respiratory rate 20 with oxygen saturation 93% on six liters. generally, the patient was in mild distress. extraocular movements were intact. the patient had no scleral icterus. cardiovascular - distant heart sounds, regular rate and rhythm, no murmurs. pulmonary - he had diffuse breath sounds with occasional wheezes and sporadic crackles at the bases, symmetric expansion. the abdomen was soft, protuberant but nontender with active bowel sounds. the patient was guaiac negative in the emergency department. extremities - the patient had right lower extremity edema, greater than left, with erythema, calor, and charcot foot on the right. the patient had significant 4+ pitting edema on the right lower extremity where deep vein thrombosis had been noted on ultrasound. the patient also had chronic venous stasis changes on the left lower extremity with 2+ pitting edema. laboratory data: on admission, white blood cell count was 13.2, hematocrit 35.8, platelet count 404,000, 83% neutrophils, 0% bands, 10% lymphocytes. inr 1.4. sodium 135, potassium 5.5, chloride 101, bicarbonate 24, blood urea nitrogen 46, creatinine 1.3, glucose 354. arterial blood gases was 7.31, 54, 55. chest x-ray showed increased cardiac silhouette, no opacities, no effusions, no active infiltrate. ultrasound of right lower extremity showed deep vein thrombosis in the common femoral vein. cta showed likely left upper lobe subsegmental embolus and question right middle lobe tiny embolus, no large pulmonary emboli, right basilar atelectasis. electrocardiogram was sinus rhythm at 84 beats per minute, normal axis, intraventricular conduction delay, no acute st changes, poor r wave progression consistent with old electrocardiogram. hospital course: 1. pulmonary embolus, deep vein thrombosis - the patient was heparinized throughout his hospitalization. the patient and his wife refused coumadin treatment out of concern for bleeding. the patient refused to be transitioned on the coumadin because it required taking coumadin and heparin at the same time. the patient also refused discontinuing heparin and starting coumadin because of concerns of bleeding. it was also thought by the medical team that due to the patient's poor social condition and poor compliance in the past that going home with coumadin may be quite unsafe despite the very high risk of mortality without anticoagulation for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus in this setting. ultimately, however, despite medical team's advice and persistent attempts to convince the patient otherwise, the patient refused to take coumadin at home. however, the patient was heparinized throughout his hospitalization here. the patient also refused ivc filter placement which was offered as an alternative to coumadin therapy even though it was considered suboptimal to anticoagulation. the patient and his wife felt that he would be at high risk for complications of this procedure despite assurances to the contrary. the patient persistently refused medical interventions by the medical team and was evaluated by the psychiatry team and deemed to be competent to make his medical decisions and competent to refuse various medical interventions that were offered to him. therefore, the patient was discharged on aspirin as the only form of anticoagulation. again, it should be reiterated the patient refused coumadin therapy at home despite his full understanding that the one year mortality for untreated pulmonary embolism is in excess of 50%. 2. diabetic foot - the patient was seen by podiatry and the vascular surgery team who felt that the patient was suffering from acute cellulitis and diabetic foot. the patient had plain films that revealed no signs of chronic osteomyelitis. the patient was treated with intravenous vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl for the entirety of his hospitalization which was a two week course. the patient responded well clinically with significant improvement in edema, swelling, erythema and pain in the right lower extremity. the patient did have persistent right greater than left lower extremity edema that was thought to be a result of the known lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. the patient had one blood culture out of four bottles positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus at admission and therefore had been treated for two weeks with intravenous vancomycin for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia that was thought to be related to his diabetic foot. it is also possible that this positive blood culture was a contaminant, however, he was treated with a two week course for bacteremia nevertheless. the patient was afebrile with a significant improvement in his white blood cell count and left shift at the time of discharge. the patient had no signs of active infection throughout his admission and had a normal sedimentation rate at the time of discharge. 3. diabetes mellitus - the patient was treated with large doses of nph and regular insulin throughout his admission. the patient and his wife continuously expressed concern that the patient was receiving too much insulin despite reassurance and despite fingerstick ranging from 90 to 150 throughout his hospitalization. the patient had good glycemic control on the insulin regimen of nph 30 units q.a.m. and 20 units q.p.m. and regular insulin 15 units q.breakfast and 10 units with dinner every day achieved good glycemic control for this patient. the patient had no evidence of diabetic ketoacidosis during his hospitalization. 4. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - the patient has a known large oxygen requirement of over five liters per minute. this is probably the result of his long smoking history. the patient intermittently required more than five liters of oxygen at various times and this was thought to be related to his recent history of pulmonary embolus, however, the patient was essentially stable through the latter part of his hospitalization on five liters of oxygen. he did desaturate to the 70s when his oxygen fell off his face or was removed. therefore, the patient was discharged with his five liters of home oxygen which was the same regimen he was admitted with. there was some question of whether or not the patient had been getting proper oxygen therapy at home. the patient's refused vna services to insure that he was getting his oxygen, but was set up with home oxygen prior to discharge. the patient also was continued on combivent inhalers q6hours, salmeterol q12hours and p.r.n. albuterol. 5. acute renal failure - the patient after being called out to the floor after a 24 hour intensive care unit stay was bradycardic as a result of his lopressor dosing which is unclear if he had actually been taking at home. the patient had pressure in the 80s to 90s and an appropriately low heart rate of 50 to 60. the patient was closely monitored, given aggressive fluid resuscitation and nevertheless suffered oliguric acute renal failure. the patient's creatinine peaked at 3.3, however, as the beta blocker wore off, the patient's heart rate improved, blood pressure improved, renal perfusion improved, and urine output improved with recovery of his creatinine clearance and decrease in his creatinine to 1.2 which was actually better than reported baseline of 1.3 to 1.4. the patient had good urine output and was tolerating his lasix regimen at the time of discharge. the patient was diuresed aggressively after his renal failure improved due to the fluid overload state that occurred while he was oliguric. the patient did suffer from some degree of renal encephalopathy when his blood urea nitrogen approached 100, however, the mental status improved with improvement of his renal function. the patient was not discharged on a beta blocker due to this history of bradycardia. he was sinus bradycardic throughout the episode of bradycardia. no evidence of conduction disease. 6. congestive heart failure - the patient was discharged on his doses of lasix 40 mg once daily rather than the larger dose due to his recent renal failure and his stable status on 40 mg a day. it would be recommended that the patient be transitioned back onto his ace inhibitor in the future, however, his pressure remained in the low 100s and we avoided sending him home on ace inhibitor due to his renal failure. disposition: the patient refused rehabilitation placement because he felt that he did not need rehabilitation and that he was at his baseline. the patient was discharged to home which the patient and his wife reported was with relatives. the patient refused vna services because they were concerned that living with relatives they would not be able to have a nurse visit due to the preferences of the relatives. the patient repeatedly refused most of what this medical team tried to do, however, they also wanted to leave the hospital. it was thought to be more safe to discharge the patient with oxygen and with his various medications that he would agree to take rather than letting him leave against medical advice with none of the few things that the patient and his family would agree to, however, the patient was discharged with suboptimal medical regimen for his various medical problems. again, the patient had been seen by psychiatry. the patient's case had been discussed at length with both the legal counsel of the hospital and risk management division of the hospital and it was felt that the patient was competent to make his medical decisions, that he was competent to refuse various medical interventions and that as long as he was discharged with oxygen, he was not in immediate danger, that is within 24 hours of life threatening illness by leaving. the patient again was discharged with a suboptimal medical regimen due to his refusal for various interventions and medications. discharge diagnoses: 1. deep vein thrombosis. 2. pulmonary embolism. 3. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation. 4. congestive heart failure exacerbation. 5. acute renal failure. 6. chronic renal insufficiency. 7. methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. 8. methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus sepsis. 9. beta blocker induced bradycardia with hypotension. 10. type 2 diabetes mellitus. 11. diabetic foot ulcer with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. medications on discharge: 1. lasix 40 mg p.o. once daily which could be titrated up in the near future. 2. albuterol ipratropium inhaler one to two puffs q6hours. 3. nph insulin 30 units q.a.m. and 20 units q.p.m. 4. regular insulin 15 units q.breakfast and 10 units q.dinner. 5. protonix 40 mg p.o. once daily. 6. albuterol p.r.n. 7. multivitamin one tablet once daily. 8. flovent two puffs twice a day. 9. salmeterol two puffs twice a day. 10. aspirin 325 mg p.o. once daily. 11. coumadin was refused. the patient was sent home with a new wheelchair to facilitate his activities. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 12:44 t: 14:09 job#: please see discharge letter as per dr. for additional details.

dorsalis pedis, posterior tibialis pulses, and radial arteries. he had no bruits in his carotid. concise summary of hospital course: the patient was seen by cardiothoracic surgery and referred to dr. . he was continued on his heparin, nitroglycerin, and integrilin drips. a bedside echocardiogram was done preoperatively by cardiology which showed a depressed left ventricular function and anteroapical septal hypokinesis, but no severe mitral regurgitation or effusion. please refer to the complete report. the patient remained in house prior to surgery on dr. service for the next few days prior to his operation. his sheaths were pulled. his creatinine was stable at 0.9. additional laboratories came back with an aspartate aminotransferase of 27, alanine-aminotransferase of 27, and a total bilirubin of 0.9. the patient remained in the cardiothoracic surgery recovery unit for monitoring on his heparin, nitroglycerin, and integrilin drips. on , his heparin was held for an elevated partial thromboplastin time. adjustments were made in his medication. he had a carotid study done which showed no significant stenoses on preoperatively. please refer to the radiology report. preoperatively, his prothrombin time was 13.4, his inr was 1.2, with a partial thromboplastin time of 75 on heparin. he continued to receive his beta blocker. on , the patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times four by dr. with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery, a vein graft to the posterior descending artery, a vein graft to the obtuse marginal, and a vein graft to the diagonal. the patient was transferred to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit on a milrinone drip at 0.5 mcg/kg per minute and a levophed drip at 0.025 mcg/kg per minute in stable condition. on postoperative day one, the patient's levophed was weaned off. he remained on a milrinone drip and an insulin drip. temperature maximum was 99.5 degrees fahrenheit, his blood pressure was 140/62, in sinus rhythm at 91. his lungs were clear. his heart was regular in rate and rhythm. his dressings were clean, dry, and intact. chest tubes were discontinued. the patient was continued on his perioperative antibiotic. postoperatively, his white blood cell count was 9.6, his hematocrit was 30.1, and his platelet count was 205,000. his potassium was 4.5, blood urea nitrogen was 14, and creatinine was 0.9. the patient was screened by the clinical nutrition team. he was extubated early in the morning on postoperative day one after having been rested overnight on the ventilator. on postoperative day two, the patient had a temperature maximum of 100.8 degrees fahrenheit. he was hemodynamically stable and in sinus rhythm. he was awake and appropriate. he had decreased breath sounds at the left base, but otherwise his examination was unremarkable. his chest tubes were pulled. he was started on captopril and restarted on his lopressor. his hematocrit remained stable at 29.1. he was transferred out to two where he was evaluated by the physical therapy team. he started ambulating out on the floor. he was seen by the case manager. once during the day, on postoperative day two, the patient refused to walk with physical therapy complaining of fatigue. again, a spanish interpreter was present to help make clear the team's wishes for his ambulation. on postoperative day three, he had no specific complaints. his wires were discontinued. his foley catheter was pulled. he remained in a sinus rhythm. he was neurologically appropriate. his hematocrit rose slightly to 31.5 with a white blood cell count of 11.1. his creatinine was stable at 1. his blood sugars were slightly elevated. his nph was increased. he continued with physical therapy and ambulation. over the next day, he complained of a little bit of incisional pain but this was well controlled with percocet. he had no events overnight. he was saturating 92% on room air. his hematocrit was stable, but his creatinine rose from 1 to 1.2 on postoperative day four with plans to recheck his creatinine in the evening and stop his captopril if his creatinine rose precipitously. on postoperative day five, his electrocardiograms the night prior showed a bundle branch block in avf. cardiac enzymes were cycled. he had no chest pain overnight. his troponin was 0.21, with a creatine kinase of 164, and a mb fraction of 3. he was alert and oriented and comfortable in bed. he had decreased breath sounds at the left base with some crackles. his heart was regular

hypertension, varices, splenomegaly, and moderate ascites. 4. enlarged right hilar, mediastinal lymph nodes, with pleural effusions, possibly reactive. given some more nodular componenets also seen within the lungs, followup chest ct is recommended after resolution of current acute symptoms. brief hospital course: mr. was initially admitted to the hospital with recurrent sbp, after having recently completed a hospital coure for sbp having been dicharged on ciprofloxacin. on re-admission, paracentesis demonstrated e coli that was resistant to ciprofloxacin, and he was therefore switched to aztreonam and completed a 14 day course. however, his hospital course was further complicated by transfer to micu due to hypercarbic hypoxic respiratory failure requiring intubation and hypotension with diagnosis of sepsis. numerous cultures were sent from his blood, urine, stool, and sputum during his prolonged micu course/infectious-sepsis work up, and positive culture data included sputum with growth of klebsiella pneumoniae and yeast. patient was on numerous different antibiotics empirically during his hospital and micu stay and eventually remained on meropenem and gentamicin for coverage of klebsiella, and vancomycin, caspofungin, and flagyl for empiric anti-microbial coverage. he also suffered from persisent hypotension causing his transfer to the micu and throughout his micu course for which he was on and off pressor support, including neosynephrine and vasopressin. mr. also had ongoing hematological difficulties during his hospital course in part felt to be due to his underlying diagnosis of cll along with his liver disease and his sepsis. these issues included persistent anemia requiring numerous blood transfusions to maintain his hematocrit, neutropenia for which he was treated with a 3 day course of ivig and maintained on g-csf, and thrombocytopenia requiring numerous platelet transfusions. his coagulopathy from his liver disease was also managed with numerous infusions of ffp to treat his elevated inrs. the patient also suffered from acute renal failure due presumably to sepsis which waxed and waned during his hospital course. he also developed severe anasarca with 32 liters positive during his micu course, although he remained intravascularly dry with pressor requirement and renal failure. his anasarca was minimally responsive to lasix boluses, followed by starting on lasix drip, which was not tolerated by his blood pressure. he also had a history of atrial fibrillation, for which he was maintained on digoxin with poor heart rate control. different measures were tried to control his heart rate, including nodal agents such as an esmolol gtt, but were not tolerated by his blood pressure. given his prolonged micu course, surgery was consulted for possible trach and peg placement, but felt that mr. peri-operative mortality risk was > 60%, and therefore was not a candidate for these procedures. given his overall poor prognostic picture based on the above, his continued fever spikes and pressor requirement despite prolonged broad spectrum antibiotics coverage, along with his prolonged intubation without option of tracheostomy, discussions were had with the patient's sister and best friend, who were the health care proxy, including goals of care. per discussion with the health care proxy's, they stated that the patient's goals would be quality, not quantity of life, and his goals of care were changed to comfort measures. the patient was extubated and pressor support discontinued and expired shortly after.

brief hospital course: mr was admitted on . he proceeded to the or and underwent a redo mvr with a 29mm mosiac porcine heart valve via right thoracotomy. total cardio-pulmonary bypass time was 85 minutes. there was no cross clamp time as this operation was done with a bleeding heart approach. he was tranferred to the icu in nsr rate 98, map 62, cvp 8, on neosynephrine, milrinone, insulin, and propofol drips. he was extubated on the evening of his operative day without any complications. his iv medications were weaned and both the milrinone and the neosynephrine being discontinued on the am of pod 2. he had some post-op tachycardia for which is lopressor dose was increased and ace inhibitor adjusted. he was also followed by the cradiology team and their recommendations were followed. his chest tubes remained in longer than is typical because of ongoing drainage. on pod 3 he was noted to have crepitus in his right check and upper chest. his chest tubes x 3 remained on suction with an air leak. on (pod 7) the chest tubes were put to water seal with a subsequent cxr showing a small pneumthorax and they were again put to suction. a persistent pneumothorax remined and on (pod 9) a thoracic consult was obtained with rcommendations for doxycycline sclerosis. the chest tube was eft to water seal with an ongoing leak but minimal drainage. the chest tube was clamped for a 24-hour period without any respiratory distress and was eventually discontinued on (pod 15) per the recommendations of the thoracic surgery team. mr. was followed by the physical therapy team throughout his

anemia- patient had upper gastrointestinal bleeding. he underwent upper endoscopy that showed multiple erosions and a duodenal ulcer, but no active bleed. he had evidence of barrett's esophagus as well as findings consistent with h. pylori infection. serologies were sent and came back positive for h. pylori. patient was on started on a 14 day course of protonix, amoxicillin and clarithromycin. he transfused a total of 9 red blood cell packs. his hematocrit was stable at discharge. needs to be rechecked in days. he needs to have follow-up upper and lower endoscopy in months. warfarin is held because of bleeding risk. . 2) atrial flutter (af): patient went into af night with rate of 140s. he was given 5mg iv lopressor with resultant bradycardia and a 5sec pause. he was asymptomatic with no drop in blood pressure. dr. recommended holding all beta-blockers, including any eye drops, and watching the patient on telemetry. the patient was seen by the cardiology service. it was decided that he needed ablation for his af, probably without a pacemaker. the patient once reported an episode of chills and a temperature of 100.3. workup for infection included negative urine and blood cultures and a negative chest xray. a mild left arm erythema (iv site) resolved quickly after the peripheral iv was pulled. nevertheless, cardilogy felt that there is no urgent indication for ablation. thus, the patient was discharged and in scheduled to follow-up as an outpatient in about 2 weeks. for now, coumadin has been held (bleeding risk) and metoprolol was not restarted. . 3) dyspnea: mild dyspnea

she complained of chest pain that was substernal located in the center of her chest. she denied any shortness of breath. she did note some dizziness earlier in the day of admission. of note, the patient had an episode three months ago of vomiting as well treated with antibiotics. she notes that at that time it was associated with some chest discomfort that was thought to be secondary to the vomiting. at the outside hospital the patient had received tnk, however, she developed recurrence of her chest pain, st elevations and was sent here for a cardiac catheterization. the patient received lasix as well at the outside hospital. review of systems: plus minus lower extremity edema times two months. no fevers or chills, headaches, weight change, diarrhea, dysuria, paroxysmal nocturnal

received tnk, however, continued to have chest pain and st elevations. on arrival here the patient was chest pain free. she was continued on a nitro and heparin drip and treated with aspirin and lopressor. ace inhibitor was also started. the patient remained chest pain free. she went for cardiac catheterization on at which time she was found to have a 90% lesion in her right coronary artery, which was a dominant vessel. a stent was placed to the right coronary artery. she had diffuse disease in her left anterior descending coronary artery with a 50% mid segment tubular lesion. the d1 had severe diffuse disease with serial 80% lesions, left circumflex was nondominant with a 50% obtuse marginal one mid segment lesion. the patient did well post catheterization. she was treated with plavix. nitro and heparin were weaned off. lopressor and captopril were titrated up to a dose of lopressor 37.5 t.i.d. and captopril 37.5 t.i.d. at the time of discharge. these should be continued to be titrated up for blood pressure less then 140 and then converted to q.d. dosing at rehab. the patient was also started on lipitor 10 and lipids should be followed up as well as liver function tests. her cholesterol was note to be 192 with an ldl of 130 and an hdl of 37. the patient's cks initially were 1016 with an mbi of 18.2 and troponin greater then asa. her second was her peak at 1450 with an

history of present illness: this 75 year old lady with remarkable past medical history with stage iii lung cancer, treated about 7 years ago with chemo/radio therapy, managed to survive without recurrence of the cancer on recent extensive investigations when she presented with aortic stenosis. her investigation included angiogram and echo which basically showed severe aortic stenosis with calcified tricuspid aortic valve and significant disease in the right coronary artery and also a patent foramen ovale and mild mitral regurgitation. her past medical history as mentioned above includes the lung cancer, stage iii, with also subsequent right sided pleural effusion as well as pericardial effusion for which she had pericardiocentesis in the past. she thoroughly investigated with pet scan, etc to rule out possibility of any secondaries which were all negative. after full discussion, she wanted to go ahead with the surgery. she was electively admitted for aortic valve replacement, coronary artery bypass graft, and patent foramen ovale closure. past medical history: hypercholesterolemia pvd copd right iliac artery disease lung cancer malignant pericardial and

on and taken directly to the operating room where she underwent an aortic valve replacement and an atrial septal defect closure. postoperatively she was taken to the surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. she was noted to have severe facial and neck edema for which diuresis was initiated. her permenant pacemaker was interoggated by the electrophysiology service and reprogrammed. an underlying atrial fibrillation was noted. a heparin induced thrombocytopenia was sent for thrombocytopenia which was negative. on , mrs. was extubated however promptly developed respiratory distress requiring reintubation. the neurology service was consulted for anisocoria. a head ct scan was obtained which showed small areas of hypodensity within the left frontal lobe and right frontoparietal region, as well as within the subcortical white matter and corona radiata bilaterally. her anisocoria subsequently resolved. given her decreased level of consciouseness, the stroke service felt that she liklely experienced a cerebrovascular accident and coumadin should be started when it was safe. the thoracic surgery service was consulted for a tracheostomy. it was decided that she was indeed a candidate for a tracheostomy however given her history of radiation, an open procedure may be best. while changing a central line, mrs. became hypotensive which responded to resuscitation. the electrophysiology service was asked to evaluate her pacemaker which was found to be functioning within normal limits. slight changes were made to her sensing. rate control of her atrial fibrillation was recommended. the physical therapy worked with mrs. daily. on , the thoracic surgery service performed a tracheostomy without complication. a bronchoscopy was later performed which did not reveal significant secretions. the ventilator was slowly weaned to cpap. the speech and swallow service was consulted. as she had not tolerated a passe muir valve, a bedside swallowing evaluation was defferred and a peg feeding tube was recommended. a peg was placed on for long term nutrition needs. mrs. continued to experience episodes of hypotension which responded to pressors. most of her episodes seemed to be related to atrial fibrillation which was aggressively controlled with amiodarone. as she was subtherapeutic on coumadin, heparin was started as a bridge. her neurologic status improved and she was able to move all extremities to commmand. she began to tolerate her tube feeds and continued to improve over the next several days, using her trach collar. cvl was discontinued on

history of present illness: this is a 76-year-old woman with past medical history significant for aortic stenosis and patent foramen ovale status post atrial septal defect repair and aortic valve replacement in , that presents to the emergency room with complaint of abdominal pain and report of free intraperitoneal air on x-ray at her rehabilitation facility, . briefly, this is a 76-year-old female who has multiple medical problems as described above, including hypercholesterolemia, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and known lung cancer, that was recently discharged 2 days prior to rehabilitation facility after a lengthy hospital course in which she underwent an aortic valve replacement and an atrial septal defect closure. she was taken after this point to the surgical intensive care unit for monitoring, however, had developed respiratory distress that required intubation. she required tracheostomy, as well, during this prior stay and was noted to be doing well at the rehabilitation facility in terms of her respiratory status up to this point. also of note, she also received before her prior discharge a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placed by the general surgery service. this was done on , seven days before discharge to the rehabilitation facility. of note, the patient continued to have free intra-abdominal air during her stay in the intensive care unit before her discharge. however, her abdominal pain resolved, and she was able to resume her tube feeds per recommendation of the general surgery service. upon discharge she was sent to the rehabilitation facility, where she was noted to be progressing well until her 3rd day when she noted abdominal pain. at this time a kidney/ureter/bladder x-ray was performed that revealed significant right- and left-sided intraperitoneal free air. the patient was then sent back to the for further evaluation and treatment. past medical history: hypercholesterolemia, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, right iliac artery disease, lung cancer, malignant pericardial and pleural effusions, pacemaker in situ, left carotid endarterectomy, hysterectomy, pericardial window, tonsillectomy, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, patent foramen ovale, and coronary artery disease. medications: amiodarone, lipitor, warfarin, furosemide, lansoprazole, digoxin, aspirin, fluconazole, and vancomycin. vancomycin was for a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus that was growing out of her sputum prior to her previous discharge. physical examination on admission: temperature 97.8 f, heart rate 81 in sinus rhythm, blood pressure 148/71, respiratory rate 18, 100 % on room air. she is generally comfortably appearing and is sitting up in bed at this time. her tracheostomy is noted to be in place without drainage or erythema around the site. her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally with some coarse breath sounds reported. her incision is noted to be well healed with steri-strips beginning to slough off. there is no drainage or erythema around the sternal wound. her heart is in regular rate and rhythm. without murmurs, rubs, or gallops at this time. her abdomen is noted to be slightly distended with slightly hypoactive bowel sounds. soft. minimally tender throughout. no signs of rebound or guarding at this time. her extremities are warm and well perfused. distal pulses are 2+ with no clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. hospital course: thus, at this time the patient was admitted to the for further evaluation and treatment. this 75-year-old female recently discharged with an aortic valve replacement and atrial septal defect repair was brought back into the hospital for further evaluation of persistent intraperitoneal free air status post percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement on , nine days prior to this at readmission. the question at this point was whether there was an active leak from the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. a cat scan was performed at this time that revealed no extravasation, though this did not satisfy our curiosity in regard to the possibility of anterior leak of the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. the patient was noted to be stable, was afebrile, with a leukocyte count that was within normal limits and unchanged from 5 days previously. the plan at this time was to do a water-soluble contrast study through this peg tube and to assess the patient in the prone position for possible anterior leak. on hospital day #3 the patient began to feel better, with less abdominal pain and less distention at this time. patient continued to remain afebrile and to remain hemodynamically stable. there were no sudden rises in the leukocyte count, as well. the rest of her laboratories was within normal limits. we placed her peg tube to gravity at this time with the plan to have a prone study performed the following day, and to continue to hold tube feeds at this time. in addition, clostridium difficile toxin was sent off which came back negative. it was also notable that the patient was passing gas and having bowel movements at this time. on hospital day #4 the patient continued to progress well and was noted to be comfortable and did receive 1 unit of packed red blood cells at this time for a hematocrit of 25.6, noted to be down from 28 the previous day. the patient then had a follow up portable abdominal x-ray on tuesday, , hospital day #5, that continued to show persistent large amount of free intraperitoneal air. there was retained contrast present in the colon, but there was, again, no sign of any sort of leak at this time. thus, throughout the hospital course there was, at no point, that we could locate a definitive leak of contrast due to the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. it was determined that the patient could have her tube feeds resumed. on hospital day #5 these tube feeds were resumed, indeed, and the patient tolerated them well and was slowly increased to her goal rate of 50 ml per hour of probalance with fiber. also at this time, the patient received a picc line on the right side that was placed under interventional radiology due to her presence of a permanent pacemaker on the left side. the patient also had a study of the venous system in the left upper extremity that revealed thrombosis of the left subclavian vein. this venous catheter was removed after the procedure and the port remained in place in the left antebrachial area. then, on hospital day #6, the patient was evaluated again and had been continued on her tube feeds at this time. she was noted to be tolerating these well and was noticeably less distended on examination. she was spending significant amounts of time in her chair and was tolerating a tracheostomy mask at this time with continued plan for her to rest at night on the ventilator. on hospital day #6, it was determined the patient was fit for discharge to rehabilitation facility on continued tube feeds. the patient was to receive 1 more week of vancomycin for positive blood culture and yeast in sputum. the patient was to continue on tracheostomy mask during the day as needed and to be placed on the ventilator as needed at night so that she could rest. fluconazole was not given necessary upon discharge. erving any increasing pains, fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, chest pain, redness or drainage about the wounds, or if there are any questions or concerns or signs of any events there untoward. patient to continue on continuous positive airway pressure and pressure support for 12-14 hours a day goal and to receive assist control at night for rest. patient to have international normalized ratio checked daily with goal of 2.0-2.5. patient to receive tube feedings of probalance full strength at 50 ml per hour with checks every 4 hours for residuals, and tube feeds to be held for any residual greater than 100 ml. patient to have an appointment with dr. scheduled upon discharge from rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnoses: 1. intraperitoneal free air in abdomen. 2.

history of present illness: this is an 80-year-old male who presented to an outside hospital two days prior to admission complaining of substernal chest pain increasing over a 2-week period which was relieved by sublingual nitroglycerin. he ruled out for a myocardial infarction at the outside hospital and was transferred to for elective cardiac catheterization which showed a left main stenosis of 70 percent, a left circumflex stenosis of 90 to 99 percent, and a rca stenosis of 90 percent at that time and was referred for coronary artery bypass grafting by dr. . . past medical history: coronary artery disease, history of breast cancer, myelodysplasia, benign prostatic hypertrophy, right bundle branch block, hemorrhoids, left ankle dislocation, hypertension, osteoarthritis, hiatal hernia, and glaucoma. allergies: he has no known drug allergies. medications on admission: norvasc 5 mg once daily, atenolol 25 mg once daily, imdur 30 mg once daily, neurontin 900 mg once daily, allopurinol 300 mg once daily, lipitor 20 mg once daily, folic acid 1 mg once daily, doxazosin 4 mg once daily, alphagan eye drops 0.15 percent 1 drop right eye twice daily, timolol 0.5 percent 1 drop right eye in the morning, and aspirin 81 mg once daily. social history: the patient lives with his wife in . a positive history of tobacco (60-pack-year); quit 30 years prior and denies alcohol use or abuse. physical examination on presentation: the temperature was 97.5, the heart rate was 65, the blood pressure was 164/68, the respiratory rate was 20, and oxygen saturation was 96 percent on room air. neurologically, alert and oriented times three. in no acute distress. the neck was supple without bruits. cardiac examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm without murmurs, rubs, or gallops. no jugular venous distention noted. the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. gastrointestinal examination revealed soft, positive bowel sounds, nontender, and nondistended. extremities revealed right groin catheterization site without hematoma. distal dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses palpable. preoperative laboratory data: white blood cell count was 15.2, hematocrit was 44.8, and platelets were 143. sodium was 138, potassium was 3.7, chloride was 102, bicarbonate was 29, blood urea nitrogen was 13, creatinine was 0.9, and glucose was 111. negative urinalysis preoperatively. summary of hospital course: the patient was admitted on and found to have 3-vessel disease by cardiac catheterization. he was worked up for coronary artery bypass grafting. on he proceeded to the operating room with dr. . and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times four with a lima to the lad, a saphenous vein graft to the ramus, a saphenous vein graft to the pl, and a saphenous vein graft to the pda. once the case was completed he was noted to have an increased amount of bleeding. he was reopened and re-explored in the operating room. he also received multiple blood products in the operating room. please see the operative note for complete details. he was transferred to the cardiac surgery recovery room on the evening of , a-paced at a rate of 70 on a neo-synephrine drip. on postoperative day one, he continued on a ventilator, unable to wean, with a chest x-ray showing a left-sided fluid collection. he already had mediastinal and left anterior chest tubes. therefore, a left posterior chest tube was placed with a fair amount of sanguineous drainage removed. on postoperative day two, his respiratory status improved but he still required ventilatory support and was not extubated. he was also noted to have a significantly elevated white blood cell count up to 60, and a hematology consultation was obtained. the hematology service had no big recommendations as to the source or treatment of the elevated white blood cell count, and by postoperative day three his white count had decreased to 24. on postoperative day three, mr. respiratory status improved; however, thick green sputum was suctioned from his endotracheal tube and sent for cultures. in the afternoon, he was weaned and successfully extubated. his chest tube drainage significantly decreased, and all of his chest tubes were also removed. on the evening between postoperative days three and four, mr. had some atrial fibrillation for which he was started on amiodarone and beta blockade; which he subsequently converted to a normal sinus rhythm. also on postoperative day four, he was found to be recovering well and safe for transfer to the inpatient floor for further recovery and rehabilitation. on postoperative day five, mr. had additional bursts of rapid atrial fibrillation; treated with intravenous lopressor as well as his oral amiodarone and lopressor doses. it was decided that he should be anticoagulated and was started on a heparin drip and oral coumadin. his cardiac pacing wires were also removed on postoperative day five. mr. continued to have coarse lungs with a productive cough; however, his sputum changed to yellow and no infection has been identified. on postoperative day six, he was noted to have some serous sternal drainage treated with betadine swabs and dry sterile dressing. on postoperative day seven, mr. was noted to have a continued scant amount of serous drainage from his sternal incision. he had an elevated white count up to 33, and he was therefore started on vancomycin intravenously, and a picc line was placed for potential long-term antibiotic administration. on postoperative day nine, mr. inr was elevated to 1.9; at which time his heparin drip was discontinued and he continued on his oral coumadin. his sternal drainage on postoperative days nine and ten was also noted to be significantly decreased. it was decided that he would continue on the vancomycin. mr. was followed by physical therapy throughout his hospital course, and it was decided that he was not safe for home and should continue with physical therapy and rehabilitation at a rehabilitation facility. he will be discharged to rehabilitation on . condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: to rehabilitation. discharge diagnoses: 1. coronary artery disease. 2. status post coronary artery bypass grafting. 3. benign prostatic hypertrophy. 4. atrial fibrillation. 5. sternal drainage. medications on admission: 1. allopurinol 300 mg once daily. 2. amiodarone 400 mg twice daily. 3. amlodipine 5 mg once daily. 4. aspirin 81 mg once daily. 5. lipitor 20 mg once daily. 6. colace 100 mg twice daily. 7. lasix 20 mg p.o. twice daily. 8. neurontin 600 mg twice daily. 9. metoprolol 25 mg p.o. twice daily. 10. potassium chloride 20 meq p.o. twice daily. 11. zantac 150 mg p.o. twice daily. 12. vancomycin 1 gram iv twice daily. 13. coumadin (to be dosed per inr). 14. levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. once daily. 15. percocet as needed (for pain). discharge follow-up plans: the patient should make an appointment with dr. . within four to six weeks. the patient should also make an appointment with dr. within one to two weeks as well as an appointment with his cardiologist within one to two weeks. , Procedure: Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified (Aorto)coronary bypass of three coronary arteries Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery Reopening of recent thoracotomy site Transfusion of packed cells Transfusion of other serum Transfusion of platelets Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Unspecified essential hypertension Cardiac complications, not elsewhere classified Atrial fibrillation Personal history of malignant neoplasm of breast Unspecified glaucoma Hypertrophy (benign) of prostate without urinary obstruction and other lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) Hemorrhage complicating a procedure Right bundle branch block Osteoarthrosis, unspecified whether generalized or localized, site unspecified

technique: helically aquired contiguous axial images were obtained from lung bases to pubic symphysis after the administration of 150 cc of optiray contrast. optiray was used per history of allergies. no prior studies available for comparison. ct abdomen with iv contrast: a large right pleural effusion and a moderate left pleural effusion are present. there is associated collapse and consolidation of the posterior segment of the right lower lobe and minimal atelectasis of the left lower lobe. a round nonenhancing focus in the medial left hepatic lobe and anterior right hepatic lobe are consistent with simple hepatic cysts. no other hepatic abnormalities are identified. the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, and upper ureters are normal in appearance. a small amount of fluid is noted to be tracking around the liver and spleen. the visualized loops of opacified small bowel are normal. the contrast opacified colon is noted to have thickened wall with adjacent fat stranding along its entire length. several diverticula are noted in the region of the splenic and hepatic flexures. several nonpathologically enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes are seen. there is no mesenteric lymphadenopathy. there is no free air in the abdomen. scattered calcifications are noted in the abdominal aorta but none are present at the takeoff of the celiac axis, sma, or . ct pelvis with iv contrast: again, all visualized loops of colon are noted to have a thickened wall. associated fat stranding is not as notable in the pelvis as it is in the upper abdomen. multiple diverticula are noted along the sigmoid colon. free fluid is noted around the cecum. the appendix is not visualized. multiple phleboliths are noted in the deep pelvis. the urinary bladder outline is within normal limits. no inguinal or deep pelvic lymphadenopathy. bone windows: no suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions are seen. mild degenerative changes are noted in the lumbar spine.

management of her ascending aortic anuerysm. she was taken to the catheterization lab where she was found to have moderate lad disease. given the severity of her disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical repair of her aorta. she was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner including an echocardiogram which revealed trace aortic insufficiency, 1+ mitral regurgitation, 2+ aortic insufficincy. on , mrs. was taken to the operating room. she underwent a total arch replacement with reimplatation of cephalic vessels. postoperatively she was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. on postoperative day one, she awoke neurologically intact and was extubated. a bedside swallow evaluation was obtained for oral and pharyngeal dysphagia which was inconclusive. ent was consulted and determined that she had paresis of her left true vocal cord. beta blockade and aspirin were resumed. she was gently diuresed towards her preoperative weight. on pod

prior cva with right-sided weakness. 5. benign prostatic hypertrophy. 6. osteoporosis. 7. a neuropathy. 8. status post appendectomy. 9. ventricular ectopy and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and he did have an echocardiogram in showing an ejection fraction of 50%. 10. right upper lobe mass seen on ct on the most recent admission and also noticed on chest x-ray of this admission whose cause is unknown, but is most likely felt to be malignant in nature. medications: 1. prednisone 20 mg q.d. on taper. 2. lansoprazole. 3. aspirin. 4. zestril. 5. finasteride. 6. senna. 7. coumadin. 8. fosamax. 9. lasix. 10. albuterol. 11. atrovent mdis. 12. flovent. allergies: patient denies any medical allergies. social history: he lives with his wife of 40 years and he quit smoking 30 years ago after an extensive pack year history. he is a retired lawyer in the area. hospital course: in the emergency room, the patient was hypotensive in the 80s systolic range. a femoral groin line was placed and he was resuscitated with normal saline 4 units of fresh frozen plasma and four units of packed red blood cells. nasogastric lavage revealed small amount of coffee ground material and a small bright red clot which cleared with less than 500 cc normal saline. in the emergency department, he also received treatment for hypercalcemia in the setting of his ectopy seen on monitor. echocardiogram was obtained which showed st depressions in the lateral segments and a chest x-ray revealed no pulmonary edema, persistence of the right upper lobe mass and flattened diaphragm. chest x-ray was repeated after fluid resuscitation and remained unchanged. upon medical intensive care unit evaluation, physical examination showed a temperature of 97. heart rate of 120 with frequent premature ventricular contractions. blood pressure 170/87. respiratory rate of 24. oxygen saturation 100% on three liters per minute. generally, she was tachypneic with retractions and using accessory muscles with copious upper airway secretions. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: significant for conjunctival pallor. pupils equal, round and reactive to light. extraocular movements intact. neck was supple without any lymphadenopathy and difficult to assess the jugular venous pressure due to the retractions. there was no thyromegaly. cardiovascular was tachycardic without murmurs, rubs or gallops. lungs were extraordinarily decreased breath sounds with expiratory wheezing, no crackles were noted. abdomen was soft, nontender, with hyperactive bowel sounds and no hepatosplenomegaly. the rectal exam was deferred secondary to the perfuse amounts of maroon stool seen in his exam. his extremities were without edema, warm and without palpable pulses in the feet. laboratory values: significant for a hematocrit of 41, which subsequently decreased to 21 after intravenous fluid resuscitation and a white blood cell count of 21.7. potassium is 6.4. coags were unable to be obtained secondary to a laboratory error on the sample of blood prior to fresh frozen plasma being administered. hospital course: an abdominal ct was performed revealing only a slightly dilated head of the pancreas consistent with ipmt. the remainder of his abdominal laboratories were normal. patient was taken to interventional radiology that night for angiography which revealed a small blush in the duodenum which was coiled at that time by interventional radiology. filter was also placed in the ivc by interventional radiology at the same time. >......<cells in the emergency department and he was admitted to the intensive care unit for observation and had a esophagogastroduodenoscopy the following morning which revealed only small superficial erosions and no frank ulcerations in the duodenum. his hematocrit remained stable and he was transferred to the floor. on the floor he had a left ij placed and his femoral line was removed. about the same time, he was noted to have approximately a liter of maroon stools and also an expanding groin hematoma at the site of the line removal. emergent ultrasound of the right groin revealed a heterogenous flow in the >.....<however, no direct fistula was seen. patient was found to have had a hematocrit drop of 10 points, so he was transferred back to the intensive care unit and received another three units of packed red blood cells. he had a repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy which again showed only superficial mucosal erosions and no blood. he was kept npo and observed and colonoscopy was performed by gastrointestinal in the intensive care unit, which revealed diverticula, however, no evidence of bleeding. on hospital day seven, he has had clear rectal affluent from his golytely prep. his diet has been advanced to clears and his hematocrit has remained stable at 34 and he is called out to the floor. final diagnosis/problem list: 1. l bleed. unclear source given the positive angiographic findings and lack of findings on esophagogastroduodenoscopy times two and negative colonoscopy. his second visit to the intensive care unit regarding his decreased hematocrit may have been related to his groin hematoma as opposed to a new gastrointestinal bleed. if he re-bleeds again, he should have a bleeding scan obtained promptly and gastrointestinal should be re-consulted. otherwise, he will continue to be on protonix and his diet should be advanced soon to full as he has been without nutrition for seven days. 2. right thigh hematoma: a repeat ultrasound demonstrated a cfv at a cfa fistula. this will need to be followed over time. there was no discrete aneurysm or pseudoaneurysms seen and there was no flow seen in the hematoma indicating a stable lesion. it is likely that the triple lumen catheter passed through the artery and then was cannulated in the vein. vascular surgery is following this patient for this problem. 3. venous thromboembolic disease: filter was placed as the patient is not a candidate for anticoagulation at this point. 4. intermittent atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit: the patient has multiple premature ventricular contractions and ectopy and also has atrial fibrillation, however, again, we will not anticoagulate given his ongoing gastrointestinal bleeding issues. 5. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the patient has severe lung disease and he will continue using a steroid taper. he will continue to receive his inhaled steroids ipratropium and albuterol. 6. right upper lobe mass: most likely being malignancy given his extensive smoking history and the persistence of this mass over a one month time. his wife is aware of this as is his primary pulmonologist dr. . the wife and dr. have decided that it is not in the patient's best interest to discuss it with him at this time in the setting of this acute illness, however, it should be addressed with him at some point in the future. it is likely given his poor underlying pulmonary status, that he will die with this lesion as a result from it. 7. thrombocytopenia: prior to this admission, the patient had been noted to have platelets in the 250,000 range, however, on this admission, the patient had platelets in the 100,000s and drifting down to 80 and 70,000 range. all of his heparin was stopped including it in his flushes and a hit antibody was sent. the first hit antibody was negative, however, a repeat hit is pending. until this comes back, the patient should be off all heparin. 8. leukocytosis: most likely related to his prednisone and may also be related to his likely pulmonary malignancy. 9. prophylaxis: he is on pneumatic boots and proton pump inhibitors and no heparin should be used at this time. 10. access: he has a triple lumen catheter in his left ij. 11. code status: he is "do not resuscitate/do not intubate," however, but after long discussion with the patient and his wife, and with dr. , who will act as his primary care physician during this admission, he may be cardioverted once should he have an episode of vtvf, which is not an unreasonable condition given the frequency of the ectopy which he demonstrates on the cardiac monitor. ,

history of present illness: the patient is a 79 year-old female with a history of chronic atrial fibrillation on coumadin, type 2 diabetes and peripheral vascular disease who presented with pain and bleeding from her rectum and inr 17. the patient reports that she has had intermittent bleeding oozing from her nose over the past several days as well as gum bleeding when she is brushing her teeth for the same period of time notes increased frequency of stools of loose consistency described as chocolate syrup mixed with blood clots. had routine pt/inr done today by the vna, which showed an elevated inr and directed to the emergency department by her primary care physician. denies syncope, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or reflux symptoms. no history of peptic ulcer disease. reports having routine colonoscopy done several years ago in , which showed polyps. in the emergency department her vital signs were stable. hematocrit 22, inr 17, 4 and 4. also had increased ptt as well as bun and creatinine 213/3.2. she received 4 units of fresh frozen platelets, 5 mg of intravenous vitamin k and 2 units of packed red blood cells, admitted to medicine for correction of coagulopathy and gastrointestinal evaluation. past medical history: chronic atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes complicated by retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy. chronic renal failure, coronary artery disease. echocardiogram showed an ef of 45 to 50% with inferior posterior hypokinesis, hyperlipidemia, degenerative joint disease,

patient lives alone. physical examination on admission: the patient is an elderly black female in no acute distress. she is alert and oriented times three. she is afebrile. the heart rate is 74. blood pressure 113/31. respirations 13. 99% on room air. her skin is anicteric. heent normocephalic, atraumatic. positive conjunctival pallor. no bleeding from her nares. positive bleeding gums. neck was supple. jvp 7 to 8 cm. lungs clear to auscultation anteriorly. heart s1 and s2, irregular irregular with no murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdomen obese, soft, nontender, no organomegaly. rectal positive external hemorrhoids nonbleeding. internal examination showed red blood on glove with scant brown stool. extremities massive lower extremity edema with chronic stasis dermatitis. neurological alert and oriented times three. appropriate. cranial nerves ii through xii intact. moves all extremities. laboratory: white blood cell count 8, hematocrit 22.5 this is mid 30s and 95, platelets 184, pt 51.3, inr 17.4, ptt 75.2. sodium 138, k 4.8, chloride 99, bicarb 25, bun 213, creatinine 3.2, which is 1.4 to 1.9 in 95 and a glucose of 141. hospital course: 1. coagulopathy: it was thought that the patient was having an increase in coumadin dose over the past several weeks due to expired tubes done by her vna and when her new tube was fine her inr was elevated at 17.4, she received several units of fresh frozen platelets and vitamin k and her coagulopathy was corrected. her coumadin was held as was her non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. by the time of her admission her inr had been corrected and the decision was made to hold her coumadin since she would need a repeat colonoscopy. 2. gastrointestinal bleeding: the patient received 2 units initially of packed red blood cells with an appropriate hematocrit bump. she received a colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy. colonoscopy was significant for numerous polyps throughout her colon and esophagogastroduodenoscopy was significant for gastric erosions. it was felt that the polyps were responsible for her recent bleed and that she would need outpatient repeat colonoscopy several weeks after. gastrointestinal was consulted during this admission. of note, the patient had an abdominal ct scan looking for possible cancer and metastatic disease from her polyps, which was significant for two lytic lesions on her ileum. she then received a bone scan, which was unrevealing for any further metastatic disease. of note, one of the polyps removed from her colonoscopy had high grade dysplasia contained within the adenoma. she had a serum protein electrophoresis, which showed no specific abnormalities. urine protein electrophoresis showed multiple protein bands with albumin predominated. it was felt that the rest of her oncology workup could be done by her primary care physician . . 3. renal failure: patient with an elevated creatinine. unclear what her recent baseline was. it was thought to be a combination of prerenal azotemia given her volume loss. it did correct with volume. 4. cardiovascular: patient with a history of chronic atrial fibrillation not requiring rate controlling agents. her lasix and coumadin were held while she was an inpatient and her coumadin would be continued to be held since she would need a repeat colonoscopy in several weeks. patient resuscitation in the micu was complicated by congestive heart failure. she had an echocardiogram that showed an ef of 30%, 2+ mitral regurgitation, 3+ tricuspid regurgitation and severe pulmonary hypertension. she diuresed well with lasix and her oxygen requirement was totally gone by the day of discharge. 5. diabetes: the patient was continued on her insulin with q.i.d. finger checks while in house. discharge diagnoses: 1.

history of present illness: seventy-one year old female with recent history of upper respiratory infection symptoms, who presents to the emergency department with cough, fevers, and fatigue. the patient presented to her pcp on the complaining of two days of rhinorrhea, cough with yellow sputum, right sided pleuritic chest pain, and reported fever and chills. given her normal physical exam, she was treated for a bilateral upper respiratory infection with symptomatic treatment. however, the patient's symptoms persisted and she presented to the emergency department on the complaining of increased weakness, right sided lateral chest pain, persistent cough (nonproductive), rhinorrhea, and reported fevers and chills. review of systems: the patient denies headache, neck stiffness, sore throat, palpitations, chest pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bright red blood per rectum, dysuria, vaginal discharge, and lower extremity edema. in the emergency department, the patient was treated with levofloxacin and ceftriaxone, and received iv fluids. she was treated according to the sepsis protocol for presumed pneumonia/sepsis and central line was placed. past medical history: 1. hyperlipidemia. 2. anxiety disorder. 3. nephrolithiasis. 4. gastroesophageal reflux disease. 5. pyelonephritis . 6. hypertension. 7. copd. allergies: patient is allergic to codeine which

above her children. family history: diabetes, coronary artery disease, cancer of the stomach and lungs. physical examination: vital signs: temperature 95.3, pulse 62, blood pressure 79/48, o2 saturation 95% on room air. in general, this is a well appearing, cooperative, elderly female. heent: perrl. anicteric sclerae. oropharynx: moderate pupils dry, but clear. neck is supple without lymphadenopathy. cardiovascular: s1, s2, regular, rate, and rhythm, no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. lungs: rhonchi and wheezing on the right side. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended with normoactive bowel sounds. back without cva tenderness. extremities without edema. pulses 1+, no rash. neurologic: alert and oriented times three. cranial nerves ii through xii intact. laboratories: white blood cell count 17.4, hematocrit 31.9, platelet count 198. sodium 137, potassium 3.7, chloride 99, bicarb 20, bun 22, creatinine 1.2, glucose 281. lactate was 6.7. chest x-ray showed right middle lobe consolidation consistent with pneumonia. hospitalization course: given her picture of sepsis, the patient was enrolled in the sepsis protocol and admitted to the medical icu for treatment of her pneumonia. 1. pneumonia: the patient was diagnosed with community acquired pneumonia and treated with levofloxacin and ceftriaxone. this led to a rapid improvement in her lung examination with resolution of the rhonchi and wheezing within 48 hours. the patient continued to complain of pleuritic type chest pain, for which she was treated very gently with tylenol and motrin unsuccessfully, and then successfully with darvocet (codeine was avoided because the patient is allergic). 2. hypertension/sepsis: most likely secondary to pneumonia. in addition to her antibiotic treatment, the patient was aggressively hydrated according to the sepsis protocol. this resulted in an improvement in her blood pressure. at the same time, her antihypertensive medications were held. 3. hyperglycemia: during hospitalization, the patient's glucose was found to be elevated. the patient reports no history of diabetes. obviously given her acute illness, the diagnosis of glucose intolerance cannot be made at this time. however, the patient was found to have a hemoglobin a1c of 6.3, indicating possibly glucose intolerance. it is recommended that the patient follows up with her pcp to evaluate this finding. medications on discharge: 1. levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.d. for 10 days. 2. cefpodoxime proxetil 200 mg b.i.d. for 10 days. 3. acetaminophen 325 mg 1-2 tablets p.o.

history of present illness: is a 7-year-old female with known coronary artery disease, status post percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of a stent to the left anterior descending as recently as of this year who presented with four to five pounds of typical chest discomfort and low level exertion consistent with new onset and unstable angina. the patient has a past medical history significant for a retinopathy, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, has no history of transient ischemic attack,no history of stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding. she has hyperlipidemia and has known coronary artery disease as previously stated. no history of myocardial infarction is present. due to her progressive four bouts of typical chest pain, discomfort at low levels of exertion she presented to her pcp who ultimately admitted her to the for cardiac catheterization. electrocardiogram on admission showed no acute changes. her troponins were borderline and her cpks were ultimately negative. she had normal hemodynamic profile. in the catheterization laboratory she underwent a left heart coronary artery catheterization that revealed the following. left ventriculography showed a mitral regurgitation with left ventricular ejection fraction to be "normal." there was a right heart dominant circulation with left main coronary artery disease within normal however, there was 90% in-stent restenosis in the proximal left anterior descending. left circumflex is small but normal. right coronary artery was 80% distal right coronary artery. given the aggressive in-stent restenosis of the proximal left anterior descending in a diabetic female with a right coronary artery lesion the recommendation was to go forward with coronary artery bypass grafting. subsequently the patient was admitted to the hospital, placed on nitrates, no plavix, heparin, beta-blockade. the patient has no known drug history, no history of dye allergy. medications on admission: 1. plavix 75 mg q day. 2. lopressor 75 mg q am, 50 mg p.o. q pm. 3. zestril 40 mg q day. 4. aspirin 81 mg q day. 5. nph 20 units subcutaneously q am, 6 units subcutaneously q pm. 6. humilog sliding scale. 7. eyedrops, which she takes three separate brands, not otherwise specified. admission labs: crit of 9, bun and creatinine of 18 and .6. she was well nourished, well developed female, sinus with 160/70 blood pressure, lungs clear. heart was regular, no murmur. peripheral pulses were palpable. dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial bilaterally. ultimately on , the same day of admission the patient was taken electively to coronary artery bypass with dr. . she underwent coronary artery bypass graft times two including left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending and a right saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery, posterior descending. she left the operating room with pericardium opened. she has a right radial a-line, central venous pressure, right atrial catheter, two ventricular wires, one atrial, one ground wire, one mediastinal, one right pleural and one left pleural tube was also present. upon transfer to the intensive care unit the patient was neurologically intact. neo-synephrine was being utilized for blood pressure support and was weaned off, started on lasix and lopressor. respiratory wise she was extubated. she was encouraged to use incentive spirometry with coughing, deep breathing and also to immobilize early. gastrointestinal: she was put on cardiac diet. bun and creatinine were 10.4, acceptable heme. she was started on aspirin and then subsequently transferred to the floor. while on the floor she was noted to have no real significant events. she was afebrile throughout her hospital course. lopressor was titrated to effect heart rate persistently at 90's and at present there are not any readings that are lower at this time. hospital course: unremarkable. she had hematocrit of 34, bun 23 and creatinine of .7 on day of discharge. blood pressure was however, hypertensive on postop day three she reached systolics of 200/palp which was able to precipitate chest discomfort, chest pressures, electrocardiogram done at this time shows sinus tachycardia with no st-t segment changes. additionally she has chest x-ray that showed bilateral apical pneumothoraces that were stable from previous x-ray seen after chest tube removal. discharge

the patient had stent, status post right internal carotid artery stent. she initially was on neo-synephrine to maintain a blood pressure goal between 110 and 150. she had q1hour neurological checks and then q2hour neurological checks. initially, her neo-synephrine was weaned off and the patient's blood pressure gradually rose to approximately 160 to 170. as a result, some very low dose nitroglycerin drip was started to try to keep her blood pressure between 150 and 110. the patient had hypotension with blood pressure down to 70. the nitroglycerin drip was stopped and neo-synephrine drip was started with blood pressure up to as high as 200s. when all drips were stopped, her blood pressure gradually came down to 120 to 130 systolic. this was fairly soon after the stent had been placed and the patient arriving in the ccu. overnight the first hospital night, the patient was placed on a low dose of neo-synephrine 0.1 to maintain her blood pressure between 110 to 120 with gradually being able to be weaned off the drip and on the second hospital day, the neo-synephrine drip was turned off. the patient did not require any atropine in the ccu, however, she did have a symptomatic bradycardia going down to mid 30s while she is sleeping, coming up to mid 40s to 50s when being awakened. on the neurologic examination, there was no focality or any change in her examination from her baseline which had the left nasolabial fold flattening. however, the patient did seem to be confused the evening status post the procedure and on day two on the , the patient had a ct of the head without contrast which showed no definite hemorrhage. the results were reviewed with the neurologist following along with the team, dr. . on the second day postprocedure, the patient was acting more oriented and less confused. her confusion seemed to coincide with the onset of night fall and possible disturbance of her sleep/wake cycle. the rest of her stay the patient had blood pressure near goal being consistently in the 120s to 130s. she was transferred to the floor and step-down unit on two for further monitoring. the patient was seen by physical therapy who felt the patient was a fall risk and recommended for both feet physical therapy and occupational therapy and a short term rehabilitation to optimize her functional capacity before returning to living alone at home. 2. hematology - the night after the procedure the patient had a right arterial and venous sheath in place for her arterial line that was monitoring her blood pressure. the patient, despite having a leg immobilizer and numerous discussions and explanations and exhortations to stay in bed, attempted to get out of bed on the first night of her admission, and was seen by house staff. house staff and nursing staff got the patient into bed. her groin examination was stable with no bruit or hematoma, however, on the next day, her hematocrit dropped to 26.3. the patient had two units of packed red blood cells transfused with her hematocrit being 34.9 on the day of discharge. her ct of her abdomen and pelvis showed no retroperitoneal hematoma. this examination was done on . 3. blood pressure control - the patient will be discharged on univasc 7.5 mg twice a day and will follow-up with dr. in four to six weeks to have her blood pressure medications adjusted possibly placing her back on her beta blocker as well. 4. coronary artery disease -

especially given elevated white count. discussion took place with the daughter, who is the proxy. decision was made to extubate the patient despite the large volume of secretions. the daughter was well aware of the risks, benefits. if the patient remained intubated, she would be much more likely to develop vent-acquired pneumonia. if she was extubated, there was a significant risk of drowning in secretions. the patient's daughter chose the latter choice, according to her what she thought her mother would want. there was no plan to reintubate once extubated. patient was extubated on . following extubation, the patient became tachypneic and uncomfortable. patient's comfort was maximized with morphine drip. because of the revised goals, the patient was transferred to the floor. the following day, she was transferred to hospice care. 2. heme: the patient was noted to have a hematocrit drop from 38.2 to 30.3. she was also having coffee-grounds suctioned. her hematocrit further decreased to 25. the patient was treated with 2 units of packed red blood cells. her hematocrit came up to 32. the patient had no further coffee-grounds, and he hematocrit stabilized. no nasogastric lavage was performed. hematocrit came up to 32 and remains stable. 3. infectious disease: the patient developed a fever, although her white count came down. fever was up to 101.3. blood cultures and urine cultures were negative. chest x-ray showed no sign of infiltrate. no antibiotics were initiated. 4. neurologic: patient has known severe parkinson's on sinemet. although despite the lateral gaze deviation, the patient's head ct scan was negative. condition on discharge: stable. discharge medications: 1. carbidopa/levodopa 25/100, one tablet po tid. 2. morphine prn. 3. lansoprazole. discharge

which time she underwent an aortic valve replacement. please see the operative report for full details. in summary, she had an aortic valve replacement with a #21 mosaic porcine valve. she tolerated the operation well, and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. the patient did well in the immediate postoperative period, however, her blood pressure remained somewhat labile. therefore, she was continued on a neo-synephrine drip to maintain a systolic blood pressure greater than 110. in addition, she was slow to awaken after her anesthesia was reversed, and in several attempts to wean from the ventilator, she developed a respiratory acidosis. she therefore remained on the ventilator throughout the day of postoperative day one. on postoperative day two, the patient remained hemodynamically stable. her neo-synephrine drip was weaned to off. she was again weaned from the ventilator, and successfully extubated. her chest tubes were discontinued and, at the end of the day, she was transferred from the cardiothoracic intensive care unit to the floor for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. after being transferred to the floor, the patient did well. over the next several days, her activity level was increased with the assistance of physical therapy and the nursing staff. she remained hemodynamically stable. her respiratory condition remained stable and, on postoperative day four, she was deemed stable and ready to be transferred to rehabilitation for continuing postoperative care and physical therapy. at the time of transfer, the patient's physical examination is as follows: vital signs: temperature 98.4, heart rate 78 and sinus rhythm, blood pressure 106/50, respiratory rate 18, oxygen

present illness: mr. is an 80 year-old male with a history of avr/mvr who is being transferred from an osh for vtach. . over the last few months, has had increasing dyspnea on exertion. prior to , he could walk for a few hundred yards without doe. now he has difficulty walking more than 20 yards or one flight of stairs. since his aaa in , he has also noticed significant lower extremity edema. . on the day of transfer, was admitted to an osh on with severe respiratory distress. he complained of two days of sob, but he did not initially want to go to the hospital. overnight (-->) he experienced extreme sob at 4am (after waking to use the bathroom) and called ems. upon arrival to the osh ed, was in extreme respiratory distress, responsive, but unable to talk. vitals showed bp 192/110 hr 108 rr 20 temp 96.7 o2 sat 96% on ra. an ekg showed ivc which was suspicious for slow vtach so an amiodarone drip was started. a cxr showed heart failure and a nitro drip was started and 80mg iv lasix was given with >1 liter of urine output resulting. cpap was also used. . prior to transfer, had another episode of vtach at 1:45pm. . currently, the patient is feeling significantly improved. his sob is resolved and he states that his breathing is almost at it's baseline. he denies any chest pains, palpatations. he did have some mild nausea on arrival, which he atributes to a bumpy ambulance ride. he remains on a nitro gtt. past medical history: s/p aaa repair at hypertension hyperlipidemia valvular heart disease s/p bioprosthetic avr s/p mitral valve repair in atrial fibrillation/flutter bph

calcification. . no intracranial hemorrhages are identified. the /white matter differentiation is maintained. again seen are extensive periventricular hypodensities consistent with small vessel ischemic changes and small watershed infarcts of the right frontal and occipital lobes. the ventricles and extra-axial csf spaces are unchanged. . the visualized orbits are normal. the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. no suspicious bony abnormalities are seen. . impression: no intracranial hemorrhages. no significant change in tiny hyperdensity of the left centrum semiovale which likely represents a calcification. . echo general comments: suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows. conclusions: the left atrium is markedly dilated. the right atrium is markedly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. a bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis is present. the transaortic gradient is at the upper limit of normal for this prosthesis. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. a mitral valve annuloplasty ring is present. the mitral annular ring appears well seated and is not obstructing flow. no mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad. . impression: mild left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved regional/global biventricular systolic function. marked biatrial dilation. mild aortic regurgitation in the presence of a bioprosthetic avr. gradients across avr at at upper limits of normal. mitral valve annuloplasty ring appears well seated. gradients across ring also at upper limits of normal. mild pulmonary hypertension. mildly dilated thoracic aorta. brief hospital course: 80 year-old male with a history of cad, atrial fibrillation s/p avr/mvr who was transferred from from an osh for concern for ventricular tachycardia. on arrival his ekg's were as follows: ekg #1 (; osh): wide complex tachycardia with a rate of 110. ekg #2 (; ): nsr with a 1st degree av block. lad; possible . loss of r-waves in precordial leads (old). lvh electrophysiology consult was placed and it was felt that this was more likely a supraventricular tachycardia in the setting of a bundle branch block. plan was for evaluation and possible ablation in the electrophysiology lab however we had to wait several days as his inr was supratheraputic. once inr < 2 he went to ep lab and had ablation of atrial tachycardia focus. . 1. respiratory distress: the patient's examination and cxr were most consistent with pulmonary edema. he responded well to lasix and a nitro gtt. regarding possible causes for this, he was hypertensive on admission to the osh which may have been a precipitant, as well as his tachycardia. he has significant valvular disease and symptoms of both right and left heart failure. the patient diuresed appropriately on lasix and was weaned down to room air satting 96% for several days before discharge. he is discharged on lasix in addition to his usual medications. in addition, his ace dose was increased to 20 mg. an echo demonstrated preserved ejection fraction, mitral and aortic gradients at upper level of normal, and left ventricular hypertrophy, as noted above in the reports section. . 2. wide-complex tachycardia: the rhythm had a wide qrs with a rate in the 110-120 range, most likely ventricular tachycardia. the patient presented to the osh on amiodarone and was given a drip; by the time he arrived at , he was in nsr with a long pr-interval, and amiodarone was discontinued. enzymes were within normal limits. he did have a few episodes of this tachycardia on telemetry, during which he remained asymptomatic. his inr was elevated which delayed by a few days ep study. ep study demonstrated several right atrial foci, which were ablated on with no complications. his beta blocker was continued. . 3. hypertension: his ace inhibitor was uptitrated and he was continued on his beta blocker. 4. atrial fibrillation/flutter: the patient is s/p at least two attempts at ablation (', ') and a recent cardioversion. reports that he has been in sinus since the cardioversion. his initial inr was 3.8 so coumadin was held, and reintroduced just prior to discharge. given his amiodarone use, liver and thyroid tests were performed, which were essentially normal except for alt 42 and ldh 312. . 5. hyperlipidemia: - continued atorvastatin . 6. anxiety: - continued ativan . 7. hypothyroidism: - continued levothyroxine . 8. hematuria: the patient had his foley pulled out about one week prior to discharge, and he immediately passed bright red blood and then was unable to void for several hours. foley catheter was reinserted and he was started on continuous bladder irrigation as well as proscar to treat prostatic bleeding. the next day, flushes and irrigation were not easy to retrieve through the foley, and some clots were visible. the patient developed significant pain and chills. urology was consulted. blood and urine cultures grew pansensitive e coli, and the patient was put on ceftriaxone with rapid improvement in his symptoms. urology followed the patient and one day prior to discharge, his foley was pulled. the patient was able to void normally with no post void residual. his hematuria had resolved 2 days prior to discharge. he will need to follow up with urology as an outpatient. . 9. s/p fall - he was in the bathroom and tripped on edge of shower hitting his head on the hand rail. the fall was witnessed, no loss of conscious, however his inr was supratheraputic so he had a head ct which did not show any evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. he did well following this incident with no complications. . 10.contact- ***dr son -

respiratory distress secondary to copd exacerbation: this is an acute on chronic lung disease which required intubation for management of hypercarbic and hypoxic respiratory failure. at baseline, she has poor lung function due to her restrictive physiology and chronic bilateral ground glass opacities of undertermined cause. her acute worsening is attributed to pna, with ct showing worsening of the diffuse pulmonary process with increased ground-glass opacity and new peribronchial patchy ill-defined opacities in both lungs, as well as increased consolidation in lingula and lower lobes with new bilateral small effusion. these findings are most consistent with an infectious process, most likely pna. lenis negative for dvt, and heparin was discontinued. no evidence of chf exacerbation on ct scan. patient was covered for pna initially with vancomycin and levofloxacin x 4 days, then patient continued on a 10 day course of levofloxacin. bal results (lavage of lingula)was negative for malignant cells. cultures were negative, no pcp. showed edematous and narrowed airways with no lesions. pulmonary team consulted and recommended outpatient work-up in weeks of repeat pfts and ct chest once current exacerbation has resolved. . #

psychiatry: questionable history of depression. citalopram was begun. outpatient xanax and trazadone were held intially for hypersomnelence. tobacco dependence was treated with nicotine patch and lozenges although patient found with cigarettes and lighter on floor. # pericardial effusion: asymptomatic, found on ct scan. there was no clinical evidence of tamponade (normal blood pressures, no jvd). this should be monitored as an outpatient. # dilated esophagus: found incidentally on chest ct. outpatient barium swallow recommended for follow-up once patient has recovered from current exacerbation. the patient denied any gerd or regurgitation symptoms. #

this was stopped after a few days, as below, as she was felt to be allergic to naficillin). at the time of discharge, she continued to require intermittent ventilatory support, but was doing well for hours at a time on trach mask. while on the ventilator, she appeared quite comfortable on pressure support of with 40%fio2, with rr's around 18 and tidal volumes easily in the 500's. the last few days the patient has been undergoing trach mask trials. on she tolerated 12 hours, 5 hours on , and only a few minutes on . on she was placed back on cpap/ps because of desat to low 80s. of note, the last few days prior to discharge patient has been having low grade temp to 100.5, although afebrile last 24 hours. repeat cxr on revealed resolution of previously identified right ll opacification but persistent left retrocardiac opacity. if the patient spikes a temperature again, consideration should be made towards repeat treatment of vap. . #. renal failure: the intial renal failure with which she was admitted was felt to probably be due to atn and resolved on its own back to a baseline cr of 1.7-2.0. she was continued on her mycophenolate 500mg po bid and prednisone 5mg daily. however, on in the setting of a drug rash, fever, and eosinophilia, as below, her cr worsened, eventually peaking at 3.1 on . this was felt to be due to acute interstitial nephritis; this responded well to high dose steroids (hydrocortisone 100mg tid x 1 day, then moved to , now 25mg ), with rapid improvement in cr back to 1.6 on the day of discharge. as requested by the renal transplant service, the patient will now be discharged on prednisone 5mg po bid and cellcept 500mg iv bid. it has been requested that the patient have follow up with dr. from transplant within one week at which time decisions towards appropriate immunsuppressive therapy will be made. the patient should have chem panel performed two to three times weekly to monitor renal function. if there are any abnormalities noted, dr. should be notified please at . . #. allergic reaction: on , mrs. was noted to have a truncal erythematous macular rash that became increasingly intense and confluent, spreading to her face and down her extremities. she also began spiking fevers and, as above, developed worsening renal function. dermatology saw the rash and felt that naficillin most likey caused this reaction and that it was worsening because of the cefepime, which was subsequently stopped. on high dose steroids (mainly started for probably ain) and topcial triamcinolone, her rash improved. she was not given any further beta-lactam based medications. . #. leukopenia: on , mrs. unexpectedly became leukopenic, dropping her wbc from 10 to 2. hematology was consulted and they felt that this was probably medication related. her leukopenia has since resolved. . #. agitation - during her period of ventilation, prior to wean attempts, the patient was noted to be very agitated, requiring large doses of fentanyl, versed as well as propofol. with addition of standing haldol, initially as much as 5mg iv q 6hours plus prn, the patient was slowly able to be weaned from sedation over a number of days. she most recently has been maintained on a fentanyl 72 hour patch 25mcg/hr, ativan .5mg + prn for ciwa > 10 (with little need for prns) and haldol has been decreased to 5mg . weaning attempts have been complicated by agitation with difficulty dissociating respiratory discomfort/distress from agitation. it is suspected that some of her agitation earlier was secondary to withdrawal from narcotics and benzos given the large amounts she was requiring previously for adequate sedation while vented. ongoing efforts should be made to decrease her ativan, and haldol as possible from standing to prns only to off. as mentioned above, additional consideration towards worsening respiratory status should be made given persistent left retrocardiac opacity (atelectasis vs. small effusion vs. pna) . #. ileus - the patient was intially noted to have some abdominal pain and distention. ct imaging revealed an ileus, likely secondary to large opiate requirements. with weaning of sedation and a trial of naloxone po to increase bowel motility, the patient's ileus resolved. she is now tolerating tube feeds at goal of 55/hr.

cardiomegaly and vascular engorgement of the hila, lungs and mediastinum are unchanged. tracheostomy tube in standard placement. tip of the right picc line projects over the junction of the brachiocephalic veins, and that of the right subclavian line projects over the superior cavoatrial junction. no pneumothorax. . video swallow : an oral and pharyngeal swallowing video fluoroscopy study was performed in collaboration with the speech and swallow department. varying consistencies of barium were administered under constant fluoroscopic video guidance. without the speaking valve in place, patient was seen to aspirate nectar thin liquids. with the speaking valve, patient demonstrated penetration, but no definite evidence of aspiration. the patient demonstrated poor oral control throughout the study. . ct chest : 1) airway obstruction proximal to tracheostomy tube insertion site. fluid attenuation of airway lumen suggests retained secretions and edema as the primary factors, although underlying granulation tissue is not fully excluded. edematous changes extend proximally to the glottic region. 2) overdistended tracheostomy tube cuff. 3) collapse of right middle and both lower lobes with impaction of the airways probably due to areas of retained secretions. high attenuation material within right lower lobe segmental airways, likely due to aspiration of oral contrast media. 4) persistent pericardial and small pleural effusions. 5) multifocal infectious small airways disease process, slightly improved since . . cxr : since prior examination, no significant interval changes. persistent bibasilar opacity may represent aspiration pneumonia, less likely atelectasis. unchanged retrocardiac opacity represents atelectasis. stable right picc line with its tip projecting

history of present illness: this is a 69-year-old male with a past medical history significant for hyperlipidemia, osteoarthritis, retinal hemorrhage, small sbo status post a colonoscopy, who was admitted to the hospital on for further workup and possible treatment for a metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary. briefly, the patient had been well until approximately two weeks ago when he became tired and lethargic at the gym on admission and workup at that time revealed the cancer in a metastatic stage. the patient was dr., 11-575 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Percutaneous abdominal drainage Percutaneous abdominal drainage Diagnoses: Acidosis Hyperpotassemia Acute kidney failure, unspecified Unspecified septicemia Hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia Severe sepsis Ostium secundum type atrial septal defect Other malignant neoplasm without specification of site Secondary malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum and peritoneum

history of present illness: this is a 69-year-old male, who was readmitted on the day of admission with known metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary. the patient had been well until approximately two weeks prior to this admission when he became lethargic and fatigued at the gym. hospital admission and workup revealed possible gi malignancy of unknown type. the patient presented with abdominal distention and ascites. patient was also found to have pulmonary nodules and diffuse mediastinal lymphadenopathy. after these findings, the patient was readmitted for further workup and possible treatment of his metastatic cancer. hospital course: on this admission, the patient was initially admitted to the floor and his condition declined, and was transferred into the intensive care unit. he underwent two large volume paracenteses, one on , which removed 3.5 liters of fluid and a peritoneal drain was placed. his condition further worsened as he went into increasing renal failure, became hypotensive, and there was substantial discomfort. the patient was thought to possibly be septic at this point, and the decision was made to make the patient comfort measures only. this decision was undertaken with full consultation of the patient's wife and family, who agreed with the decision. i spoke with the patient's wife about his condition when the patient was being transferred on from the intensive care unit back to the floor, and she was clear about her desire for comfort measures. the patient on the floor was placed on a morphine drip and ativan was used prn for comfort. respiratory rate and heart rate were monitored only as a way to assess pain. at approximately midnight between and , the house officer was called by the nurse to pronounce the patient. the patient's wife had told the nurse that she believed the patient had "passed." patient had no heart rate or respirations. patient is found to have fixed and dilated pupils. there were no respirations or heart sounds over the course of two minutes. the time of death was noted to be 11:51 p.m. on . the option of an autopsy was offered to the family, but they refused. the attending physician as well as the primary care physician were notified of this death. dr., 12-766 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Percutaneous abdominal drainage Percutaneous abdominal drainage Diagnoses: Acidosis Hyperpotassemia Acute kidney failure, unspecified Unspecified septicemia Hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia Severe sepsis Ostium secundum type atrial septal defect Other malignant neoplasm without specification of site Secondary malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum and peritoneum

history of present illness: the patient is a 67 year old gentleman who presents with one day of frank rectal bleeding. the patient had a routine colonoscopy performed on , colon. he had done well until the day of admission. of note, he restarted his plavix, which he takes for prophylactic purposes after a history of amaurosis fugax. hospital course: on admission, the patient went for an emergent colonoscopy with diffuse blood seen throughout the colon except for the cecum, without a clear source of primary bleed. however, it was suspected that it was coming from the area of the proximal transverse or ascending colon in the region of his previous polypectomy. his blood pressure decreased transiently to 52/25 at one point during the procedure but came up rapidly with minimal administration of intravenous fluids. the patient's hematocrit was 41.0 at baseline and fell as far as 29.0 before it stabilized. the patient did not require transfusion. after discharge from the intensive care unit, his hematocrit was monitored and continued to be in the range of high 20s. his stool continued to be occult blood positive but was not overtly bloody. the patient was not symptomatic with shortness of breath, dizziness or light-headedness at the time of discharge. medications on discharge: 1. lipitor. 2. . 3. zantac. allergies: aspirin. social history: he smokes one to three packs cigarettes per day. he lives with his wife in . past medical history: 1. hyperplastic polyp with an adenoma. 2. hypercholesterolemia. 3. history of amaurosis fugax with small patent foramen ovale noted on transesophageal echocardiogram and unremarkable carotid ultrasonography. 4. diverticulosis in the sigmoid and descending colon. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: to home. follow-up: the patient will see his primary care physician, . , on tuesday, , for follow-up and hematocrit check. the patient has been instructed should he have any recurrent episodes of overt rectal bleeding or symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness or light-headedness, he should return to the emergency department immediately. discharge diagnosis: lower gastrointestinal bleed. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Colonoscopy Diagnoses: Pure hypercholesterolemia Hemorrhage complicating a procedure Hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract, unspecified Diverticulosis of colon (without mention of hemorrhage)

interstitial abnormality in the lungs has cleared substantially consistent with resolved edema. severe cardiomegaly persists. there is no pleural effusion or evidence of central adenopathy. transvenous right ventricular pacer defibrillator lead follows the expected course. . duplex abd/pelvis : impression: 1. patent hepatic vasculature. 2. moderate to large amount of sludge in the gallbladder, which is not distended. gallbladder wall edema, pericholecystic fluid and ascites fluid likely relate to third spacing in this patient. . cardiac cath : comments: 1. resting hemodynamics demonstrated normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressures (14mmhg mean pcwp) with moderate pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressures of 50/12 mmhg). cardiac output was above normal with cardiac index of 3.8 l/min/m2. 2. tailored therapy with dobutamine 20 mcg/kg/min and ultimately nitroprusside 1.5 mcg/kg/min improved cardiac index to 4.5 l/min/m2 with simultaneous reduction of pulmonary vascular resistance to 1.8 wood units, which demonstrated adequate reversibililty of pulmonary vascular resistance to remain a viable candidate for cardiac transplantation. 3. left femoral pulmonary artery catheter was left in place at 65 cm from the distal tip to the femoral sheath. final diagnosis: 1. moderate pulmonary hypertension. 2. above normal cardiac output and normal filling pressures at baseline on dobutamine 15 mcg/kg/min. 3. adequate reduction of pulmonary vascular resistance on trial of dobutamine and nitroprusside to confirm that pulmonary hypertension is reversible. . echo : conclusions: the left atrium is mildly dilated. the inferior vena cava is dilated (>2.5 cm). left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is moderate global right ventricular free wall hypokinesis. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. . compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , right and left ventricular systolic function are slightly improved. the severity of mitral regurgitation is reduced. left ventricular cavity size is also slightly smaller. the heart rate has increased. pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now present. brief hospital course: a/p: 48 yo m with h/o idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (ef 15-20%) s/p aicd and rue dvt who represents after d/c on with c/o chest pain, now transferred for decompensated chf. labs notable for hyperkalemia, and elevated inr and lfts, improved on inotrope therapy with milrinone, evaluated for possible cardiac transplant. . 1# cardiac: a. pump: pt w/ h/o idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, ef < 20%. s/p aicd placement. on transfer was found to be in cardiogenic (lft's acutely rose to high thousands and had arf, altered ms). treated with dobutamine and dopamine and clinically improved and began diuresing. we stopped spironolactone, valsartan, digoxin, lasix d/t rising cr. also stopped metoprolol given decompensated chf. a right heart cath with resting pcwp 14mmhg mean with moderate pulm htn, ci 3.8. tailored therapy with dobutamine 20 and nitroprusside 1.5 improved ci to >4.5 with decreased pulm vascular resistance to 1.8 wood units ->pt is suitable candidate for heart transplant. milrinone was added to dobutamine. the dobutamine was titrated down and stopped. on milrinone alone, his ci ranged from 2.23-3.07. his aldactone and valsartan were restarted at 25mg and 160mg, respectively. he tolerated this change well. his svr on this regimen was in the 800s. his swan was d/c'd on . the patient went for ir guided picc placement on , but a midline was placed instead secondary to rue clotting. he was transferred to the floor in good condition. we tried to increase his metoprolol from 12.5 to 25 without success due to hypotension (sbp 70's). his metoprolol was stopped entirely. he was on aldactone 25mg po qday, which was held on discharge due to hyperkalemia. he will be continued on a continuous milrinone infusion indefinitely, as well as his valsartan 160mg po qday. if his k normalizes, his aldactone can be re-started. . b. rhythm: the patient initially had ivcd and 1st degree block due to hyperkalemia. however, this resolved with his once his potassium was improved. he remained in sinus rhythm, but was tachycardic. his baseline hr is in the 110s. his metoprolol was stopped initially per chf given his decompensation. he also experienced occational episodes of nsvt per telemetry. on his icd discharged 5 times sinus tachycardia. ekg was unremarkable. ep evaluated the icd and increased his hr threshold from 160bpm to 180bpm, with pacing threshold at 200bpm. on ep reverted his icd to his old settings at 160bpm. he did experience nsvt for 18 beats on . ep did not make any changes. he remained asymptomatic. his metoprolol was stopped due to hypotension. he will need to be followed by ep with regards to his icd. . c. ischemia: pt c/o icd site chest pain, likely pt's chronic chest pain. icd site did not look inflamed or infected. no h/o cad. ruled out for mi on the floor. a repeat troponin on was <0.01. his ekgs showed no changes. his pain improved on oxycodone. . 2# elevated lfts: transaminases in the thousands, consistent with liver from poor perfusion. as his perfusion was improved, so did his lfts. they trended down on a daily basis. he continued to have vague abdominal discomfort. however, an abdominal u/s was negative for any thrombosis. . 3# elevated inr: thought likely due to liver failure as above. pt was anticoagulated as outpatient for dvt/pe. he was initially treated with vit k and ffp to lower inr since was very high when transfered to ccu. inr came down to 1.7. it stabilized at 1.4. he was also restarted on a heparin gtt due to his history of thromboses. they were still present on when he went for picc placement. a midline was placed instead. his coumadin was restarted on . his most recent inr was 2.1 on . his warfarin was 3mg po qhs. his inr will need to be watched. . 4# arf/hyperkalemia: thought due to poor forward flow as above with metabolic acidosis from uremia. initially was treated with calcium, insulin, d50 and responded well. received kayexalate as well. his hyperkalemia resolved, as did his arf with improved perfusion due to inotropes. his cr stabilized at his baseline at 0.9 on transfer to the floor. he was transiently hypotense once on the floor, causing his cr to increase to 1.9. with improved bp, his cr returned to baseline. his k remained high at 5-5.4. his ekg was unchanged. . 5# nausea and vomiting: patient had intermittent nausea and vomitting. he was given anzemet prn with good results. . 6# altered ms: initially had ms changes thought due to initial cardiogenic and poor perfusion. it resolved with increased perfusion and inotropy. he was also treated for a potential uti. his mental status remained stable for the duration of admission. . 7# uti: pt did complain of some dysuria in days preceding decompensation and initial ua showed 21-50 wbcs. he was initially treated with vancomycin and zosyn on given acute decompensation and concern for sepsis. however, he improved clinically with treating cardiogenic , vancomycin and zosyn were changed to cipro 500mg po q12h. he was given a total 7 day course without incident. a urine culture from was negative for growth. a repeat culture on grew resistant e coli in the setting of fever to 101; therefore he was started on cefazolin. it was stopped due to lack of symptoms and negative ua and negative repeat urine culture. he remained afebrile and did not complain of any further symptoms. . 8# anemia: on admission his hct was 35. it remained in the low 30s throughout admission. near the end of admission, his hct dropped to the high 20s. his labs did not fit with hemolysis. he was guiac negative

the micu due to hypotension on the same day, then ccu the next day for further management of chf (tailored therapy). his hospital course for this admission is as follows: . 1 chf: severe systolic chf with ef <20% with moderate mr, hypotension likely secondary to poor cardiac output. we continued his digoxin at home dose. central line was placed, and he was started on dobutamine drip tailored therapy at 15/kg/min on which was gradually weaned to 12mcg/kg/min on , and weaned completely on and his central line was pulled on the same day. we monitored him closely for arrythmias on the tele while he was on the dobutamine drip. lasix, , and spironolactone was held initially given increased cr, while he was at the ccu, (valsartan 40''), lasix 40', aldactone 25' was restarted once his cr function was back to his baseline. he was held on most of his heart failure meds given bp parameter setting (sbp<95), but we adjusted the parameter to hold meds for sbp<85, and the decision was made not to take him for right heart cath at the time since he was able to tolerate his heart failure meds with changing parameters. he was discharged home with valsartan 40mg po qhs, lasix 80mg po qday, aldactone 25mg po qday, digoxin 0.125mg po qday. . 2 ischmia. no cp, no h/o cad. initial troponin and ck negative. . 3 rhythm. pt had sinus tach, likely to low cardiac output, anticipate improvement. . 4 abdominal pain. leading diagnosis is congestion from chf causing pain from liver capsule expansion. somewhat responsive to ppi. he continued to complained abdominal pain while in the hopsital, and seemed to improved with pain management. ct torso initially was unrevealing. we followed his daily lfts, which continued to be mildly elevated but stable c/w with liver congestion from his heart failure. . 5 dvt/pe. unclear etiology. rue vte developed at home, not in setting of line placement. patient now developed a small pe while supratherapeutic on coumadin. concerning for hypercoagulable state. hem/onc was consulted, but was difficult to send hypercoagulable stuides given patient already anticoagulated; we sent antiphospholipid ab which was wnl, pt didn't carry the more common factor mutation and prothrombin mutations, homocysteine levels was wnl; his initially inr was supratherapeutic 4.0->3.5, coumadin was held initially; coumadin was restarted at 3mg po qhs when inr came down to 2.5. given echo showed questionable lv thrombus and given ? hx of hypercoagulable state, he was also started on lovenox 60mg sc q12h when inr became undertherapeutic (inr<2.0) while on coumadin. he also finished a 7 day course for kefelx for superifical thrombophlebitis. . 6 r renal infarct. noted on ct torso, new finding which was concerning for thromboembolic disease, possibly lv thrombus give dilated cmp predisposing to intracardiac stasis. echo aslo suggestive of poor flow. no clots seen on echo however. no evidence of endocarditis given no fevers, bl cx negative to date from ed. we continued anticoagulation with coumadin and lovenox (when inr<2.0), and monitored renal function closely where cr trending down to baseline. . 7 cr elevation. baseline 1.0, initially slightly elevated secondary to poor cardiac output +/- renal infarct. anticipate improvement with improved cardiac output on pressors. we held lasix and initially given slightly elevated bun/cr; once cr back to his baseline, and lasix was restarted. . 8 pain syndrome. multifactorial, mainly around his icd site (no signs of infection and remained afebrile thorughout the hospital course) and abdomen (most likely related to congestive hepatopathy). chronic pain service was consulted, which recommended oxycodone 5-15mg po q4h prn, tradmadol 50mg po q4-6h prn, and gabapentin 600mg po tid, and lidocaine 5% patch 12 hours on and 12 hours off. patient's pain slightly improved on this regimen. . 9 congestive hepatopathy. lfts mildly elevated initally, we followed closely his daily lfts, which remained slightly elevated but stable. . 10 fen: cardiac diet, fluid restriction 1500ml/day, lyte repletion prn . 11 ppx: inr elevated initially, once therapeutic, started coumadin (and lovenox and inr<2.0), bowel reg

history of present illness: the patient is an 83 year-old male transferred from with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus, cri, hypertension presenting with shortness of breath, chest pain and ruled in for a non q wave myocardial infarction with troponin highs of 14.5. the patient was found to be in congestive heart failure, was diuresed, creatinine increased from 2.1 to 2.6. echocardiogram showed severe aortic stenosis, 0.5 cm squared and an ejection fraction of 35%. the patient presented with mid sternal chest pain radiating to both arms, arm heaviness, and fatigue, question short of breath. relieved when he sat upright and worse when lying. the patient went to the emergency department and chest pain was relieved after one nitro and has been chest pain free since. he has had increased chest pain with exertion for the past one and a half years. also increased chest pain with eating, fifteen minutes after eating. no fevers or chills. the patient sleeps on one pillow. no paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, no cough, no lightheadedness, no syncope. history of five or six years of chronic lower extremity edema. no abdominal pain after meals. no melena. no hematochezia, polyuria. no transient ischemic attack symptoms. physical examination: the patient's vital signs are stable. neck no jvd. no lymphadenopathy. chest bibasilar rales. cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm. s1 and s2. 3 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur loudest at apex, radiates to carotids. abdomen nontender, nondistended. no organomegaly. rectal large prostate, guaiac negative stool. extremities no clubbing, cyanosis or edema. vascular bilateral femoral bruits, bilateral carotid bruit, question radiating from aortic stenosis. 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses. neurological cranial nerves ii through xii intact. strength 5 out of 5 upper extremities and lower extremities. left arm slight intention tremor. sensory grossly intact. patella reflexes equal bilaterally. babinski downward. laboratory: hematocrit 37.8, creatinine 2.6, calcium 8.5, inr 1.8. electrocardiogram normal sinus rhythm at 70, left axis deviation down sloping st depressions in 1 through avl, v4 through v6 versus left ventricular strain. hospital course: the patient is admitted to the service on for complaints of chest pain at which time the patient ruled in and was transferred to from . the patient was started on a heparin drip, nitro drip and sublingual nitroglycerin prn, beta blocker and aspirin. cardiac catheterization was also recommended. the patient's kidney function was also assessed as acute on chronic renal failure, which at that time was attributed to prerenal failure. subsequent cardiac catheterization showed left main coronary artery with no significant obstructive disease, left anterior descending coronary artery with 60% stenosis in the mid portion, left circumflex 70% proximal, 90% stenosis at the obtuse marginal one, 90% distal obstruction and right coronary artery with small nondominant 70% mid vessel stenosis. aortic valve gradient was 15 mmhg. at that time it was thought that because of the patient's three vessel disease that he should proceed to cardiothoracic surgery for coronary artery bypass graft. in addition, the patient was worked up for his carotid disease and the vascular laboratory reported carotid stenosis of 80 to 99% of the right coronary artery and no flow detected in the left internal carotid. a renal consult was obtained for the patient's acute on chronic renal failure at which time the following recommendations were made, to hold off on the patient's diuretics, review urinary sediment and to hold on the patient's ace inhibitor and to avoid nephrotoxins. it is believed that the patient's acute renal insufficiency was due to redo contrast nephrotoxicity. the chronic renal disease was secondary to diabetes. the patient had no evidence of atheroemboli. on hospital day five the patient was noted to have flash pulmonary edema. the stroke service was consulted in order to place a stent in the right internal carotid artery before the patient's aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft. the findings on duplex ultrasound were confirmed by mra. the patient was found to have severe right coronary artery stenosis. on the patient had a 30 mm carotid stent placed in the right ica. the patient was seen by cardiac surgery at which time possible risks and complications were explained to him and consent was signed. the patient was taken to the operating room on at which time coronary artery bypass graft times three was performed. the patient's left internal mammary coronary artery was taken to the left anterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal. the patient was cross clamped for 115 minutes and cardiopulmonary bypass times 147 minutes. in addition, he an aortic valve replacement was performed. a #19 mm ce bovine pericardial valve was placed. postoperative day number one the patient did well on cpap and pressure support of 10 to 15. the patient's blood gases were normal at that time and on postoperative day number two the patient continue to resolve without neurological deficits. he was continued on his aspirin and plavix for patency of the carotid stent. on postoperative day number three the patient was felt to be stable and was subsequently transferred to the cardiac surgical floor. on the floor the patient's foley was discontinued, but had to be replaced secondary to a 12 hour lack of urination. post void residual was 700. the patient's creatinine continued to creep up to approximately 3.1. the patient's blood pressure also elevated and renal recommended norvasc 2.5 mg po q day. the patient also received 1 unit of packed red blood cells for a hematocrit of 26, which was on repeat hematocrit 30.7. on postop day seven the patient's av wires were taken out and the patient was found to be stable for rehab. urology had seen the patient and has recommended starting the patient on flomax .4 for the patient's urinary retention. the patient is to have voiding trial in one week and is leaving with a urinary leg bag. the patient is to follow up with nephrology and with the neurological stroke service. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: to rehab. discharge diagnoses: status post right internal carotid artery stent and status post coronary artery bypass graft with aortic valve replacement. discharge medications: norvasc 2.5 mg po q day, ciprofloxacin 500

history of present illness: this is an 83 year old male transferred from hospital in with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency with baseline of 2.1 creatinine and hypertension who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath and ruled in for non-q wave myocardial infarction with troponin of 14.5 at an outside hospital. there he was found to be in congestive heart failure and diuresed with a subsequent bump in his creatinine from 2.1 baseline to 2.6. at the outside hospital an echocardiogram showed severe aortic stenosis with valve area of 0.5 cm squared and an ejection fraction of 35%. the patient presented with mid sternal chest pain radiating to both arms, arm heaviness and overwhelming sense of fatigue and shortness of breath. it was relieved when he sat upright and worse when he was lying down. the patient went to the emergency department and his chest pain was relieved after one sublingual nitroglycerin. the patient has had increase in chest pressure with exertion over the past one and a half years. he has also had increased chest pressure, status post eating which occurs about 15 minutes after a meal. he has no fever and chills. he sleeps on one pillow with no increase, no paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, no coughing, no lightheaded and no syncope. he has a history of five to six years of chronic lower extremity edema. no abdominal pain after meals, no melena, no hematochezia, no dysuria, no transient ischemic attack symptoms. past medical history: no prior cardiac history. diabetes mellitus for 14 years. chronic renal insufficiency, baseline creatinine 2.1. stroke ten years ago with a question of a right facial droop, now on coumadin. echocardiogram at hospital, , showing ejection fraction of 35%, severe atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, cataract surgery, tonsillectomy, appendectomy. medications on admission: (at outside hospital/admission here) aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d.; glucotrol 20 mg p.o. q.d.; prevacid; lasix 40 mg intravenously b.i.d.; lopressor 12.5 mg b.i.d.; mucomyst 600 mg p.o. b.i.d.; heparin drip; nitroglycerin drip. the patient took coumadin at home 5 mg q.d. and nifedipine 60 mg q.d. at home. allergies: sulfa ? reaction; statins with myopathy. social history: lives with daughter in , quit tobacco in and smoked pack per day for 40 years, worked as a custodian, no alcohol, no drugs. family history: mother with diabetes in her 70s. physical examination: examination on admission revealed temperature 98.4, blood pressure 114/60, pulse 72, respirations 18, 140 lbs by patient report. general: alert and oriented in no acute distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat, extraocular movements intact, pupils equal, round and reactive to light, anicteric sclera, mucous membranes moist. neck, no jugulovenous distension, no lymphadenopathy. chest, bibasilar rales. cardiac, regular rate and rhythm, s1 and s2, harsh iii/vi systolic ejection murmur, loudest at apex, radiating to carotids and to femoral vessels. abdomen, nontender, nondistended, normoactive, no organomegaly. rectal, large prostate guaiac negative stool. extremities, no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. vascular, bilateral femoral bruits, likely radiated from heart. bilateral carotid bruits, questionably radiating from heart as well. 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. neurologic, cranial nerves ii through xii intact. strength, in upper and lower extremities. left arm with slight intention tremor. sensory grossly intact. patellar reflexes equal bilaterally. babinski downgoing bilaterally. laboratory data: laboratory studies at the outside hospital on admission on , white blood cell count 10, hematocrit 37.8, platelets 145, ldl in 200s. sodium 136, potassium 4.5, chloride 96, bicarbonate 30, bun 51, creatinine 2.6, platelets 202, calcium 8.5 and inr 1.8. electrocardiogram, normal sinus rhythm, 70, left axis deviation, positive left atrial abnormality, positive left ventricular hypertrophy, positive left ventricular strain pattern in v4 through v6 and one in avl. hospital course: this is an 83 year old male without significant past cardiac history with a history of hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who was transferred from an outside hospital after ruling in for non-q wave myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and found to have critical aortic stenosis by echocardiogram. the patient was also found to have increase in his creatinine from 2.1 to 2.6 after diuresis of his congestive heart failure. on presentation he was asymptomatic with nitroglycerin drip and status post diuresis. 1. cardiac - a. coronary artery disease, the patient with increasing exertional chest pressure over the past few months with more recent increased angina when lying down flat, relieved when sitting upright. this is likely due to elements of congestive heart failure when lying flat. he ruled in for non-q wave myocardial infarction by positive troponins at outside hospital. he likely has both coronary artery disease and subendocardial ischemia with his critical aortic stenosis. on admission here he was continued on his heparin drip, weaned off of his nitroglycerin drip because of his critical aortic stenosis and continued on his beta blocker and aspirin. cardiac catheterization was done after his renal function showed some improvement. this showed: three vessel cardiac disease with calcified left anterior descending and moderate diffuse disease throughout with stenosis of 60% in the mid segment. the dominant circumflex had 50% proximal disease and 80% distal disease. an obtuse marginal had a proximal 90% stenosis. the nondominant right coronary artery also had a stenosis of 80% at its mid segment. because of his three vessel disease, this patient was thought to be a candidate for coronary artery bypass graft. the patient was awaiting coronary artery bypass graft and had multiple episodes of chest pain during this time. this chest pain was relieved on occasion by merely sitting the patient upright. other times it required one to two sublingual nitroglycerins administered judiciously to try to prevent too much preload reduction with his critical aortic stenosis. on occasion this chest pain was associated with flash pulmonary edema and desaturations to 85% which was relieved by sublingual nitroglycerin and lasix. b. pump, this is a patient with critical aortic stenosis seen by cardiac catheterization and echocardiogram with increasing angina, and dyspnea. he has no history of syncope. cardiac catheterization showed hemodynamics with normal right-sided filling pressures and mildly elevated left-sided filling pressures with a mean gradient of 35.5 mg of mercury across the aortic valve and a calculated valve area of 0.79 cm squared. the cardiac index was mildly reduced at 2.3. the patient had echocardiogram as well this admission which showed ejection fraction of 40%. the severe aortic stenosis was seen with symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and regional dysfunction of his inferolateral and inferior walls with hypo and akinesis in this region consistent with coronary artery disease. he also had mild to moderate mitral regurgitation and moderate pulmonary artery hypertension by this study. the patient was continued on his metoprolol 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. and cautious use of nitroglycerin was used during his episodes of flash pulmonary edema. cep, the patient was in normal sinus rhythm throughout this hospitalization with evidence of left ventricular strain on his electrocardiogram with no significant event on telemetry. the patient has a history of hypertension and has blood pressure ranged from 120 to 160 systolic during this hospitalization. 2. carotid artery disease - the patient was thought to be a candidate for coronary artery bypass graft and aortic valve repair. prior to his surgery he did receive a carotid artery duplex evaluation which showed 80 to 99% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery and occlusion of the left side. he was then given an magnetic resonance imaging scan, magnetic resonance angiography of his head and neck which confirmed these ultrasound studies. it did show a patent circle of and flow in the vertebral arteries. the patient was thought to benefit most from right coronary artery stenting prior to his coronary artery bypass graft and aortic valve repair surgery. at the time of this dictation he will be undergoing this procedure today. he had no signs of acute stroke by his magnetic resonance imaging scan. 3. renal - the patient had acute and chronic renal failure, status post diuresis for his congestive heart failure on admission. the patient's creatinine fluctuated between 2.1 and 2.6 during this hospitalization with an increase 48 hours after cardiac catheterization and slight increases after his diuresis in the setting of his flash pulmonary edema. overall, however, it has ranged in the 2.4 to 2.5 range with good urine output. 4. hematology - the patient had been anticoagulated for his history of stroke. he was continued on his heparin ggt during this admission for his acute coronary syndrome as well as his cardiovascular disease. his coumadin was held. his platelets remained stable in the low 100s on heparin throughout this stay. 5. diabetes mellitus - his blood sugars ranged from 170 to 250 during his stay on the floor on a regular insulin sliding scale. he was kept on the sliding scale and his glucotrol was discontinued because of his multiple catheterizations and during this week. 6. hypercholesterolemia - the patient could not tolerate statins and develops myopathy with these. he was continued on a low cholesterol diet. disposition: the patient will have his carotid stent and go to the coronary care unit. he will then be transferred to the cardiothoracic surgery team for coronary artery bypass graft and aortic valve repair. this dictation encompasses the hospital stay from to . medications: 1. aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d. 2. protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d. 3. metoprolol 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. 4. insulin sliding scale 5. nitroglycerin 0.3 mg sublingual times one prn , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery Combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization Coronary arteriography using two catheters (Aorto)coronary bypass of two coronary arteries Angioplasty of other non-coronary vessel(s) Arteriography of cerebral arteries Open and other replacement of aortic valve with tissue graft Insertion of non-drug-eluting peripheral (non-coronary) vessel stent(s) Diagnoses: Subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Congestive heart failure, unspecified Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled Acute kidney failure, unspecified Atrial fibrillation Aortic valve disorders Occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery without mention of cerebral infarction Unspecified disorder of kidney and ureter

lymphadenopathy. evaluate lymphadenopathy. comparison: ct abdomen and pelvis. technique: mdct acquired axial images of the abdomen and pelvis were performed without iv contrast. multiphasic scans were then obtained of the abdomen and pelvis. ct abdomen without and with iv contrast: bibasilar dependent atelectasis. no pleural effusions. no focal liver lesions identified. pneumobilia is again seen and stable. hyperemic gallbladder wall with small amount of surrounding low-attenuation density likely representing fluid is also unchanged. a stent is seen extending from the distal common bile duct into the duodenum. the head, body, tail of the pancreas are unremarkable. spleen is within normal size limits and contains multiple punctate low-attenuation lesions too small to characterize. the right kidney contains multiple low attenuation lesions too small to characterize. the previously seen hypovascular left kidney lesion is decreased in size likely secondary to interval core biopsy. as previously described there is extensive lymphadenopathy seen surrounding the pancreatic head and extending retroperitoneal in the periaortic region extending to the bifurcation of the iliacs. a representative node is seen on series 4, image 48. it is left periaortic, measures 21 mm and is unchanged compared to previously measuring 20 mm. no free air or free fluid. multiple scattered, nonpathologically enlarged mesenteric nodes. small bowel and large bowel are unremarkable. ct pelvis with iv contrast: the urinary bladder, rectum are unremarkable. there are multiple pathologically enlarged nodes bilaterally within the inguinal region. a representative node seen on series 4, image 76 measures 17 mm and node is located lateral to the left external iliac artery. large prostate again noted, unchanged with periureteric edema/filling defect on the right upon insertion into the right hemitrigone. as mentioned previously these raise possibility of a possible bladder base lesion and recommend correlation with cystoscopy. unchanged bilateral fat containing inguinal hernias and extensive iliac nodal lymphadenopathy unchanged. bone windows: no suspicious lytic or sclerotic bony lesions. impression: 1. extensive lymphadenopathy unchanged compared to prior study from three weeks ago. findings consistent with systemic process such as lymphoma. less likely to represent diffuse metastatic disease. percutaneous biopsy can easily be achieved in various locations including retroperitoneum and external iliac chain specifically within the left external iliac region as marked on scan and indicated above. 2. left renal lesion significantly decreased in size, likely secondary to prior biopsy. lymphoma still a strong consideration within differential. 3. multiple low attenuation lesions within right kidney, too small to characterize. 3. right bladder base lesion. as previously described recommend cystoscopy for further evaluation. 4. multiple unchanged splenic lesions too small to characterize. 5. liver lesions too small to characterize on prior study, not definitely seen on todays scan. specimen submitted: lymph node for immunophenotyping. procedure date tissue received report date diagnosed by dr. /kg previous biopsies: lymph nodes, left inguinal. kidney needle bx. flow cytometry report flow cytometry immunophenotyping the following tests (antibodies) were performed: kappa, lambda, and cd antigens 5, 19, and 45. results: due to paucicellular nature of the specimen, a limited panel is performed to determine b-cell clonality. b cells are scant but appear polyclonal and do not co-express cd5. interpretation non-specific lymphoid profile; no phenotypic evidence of lymphoma in specimen. correlation with clinical findings and morphology (see separate report) is recommended. flow cytometry immunophenotyping may not detect all lymphomas as due to topography, sampling or artifacts of sample preparation. note: this test was performed using analyte specific reagents (asrs). these asrs have not been cleared or approved by the us food and drug administration (fda). however, the fda has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary . this test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by the flow cytometry laboratory at , which is licensed by clia to perform high complexity tests. this test was used for clinical purposes; it should not be regarded as for research. clinical: rule out lymphoma. gross: lymph node for immunophenotyping. cta head w&w/o c & recons; ct 100cc non ionic contrast reason: r/o stroke.

stroke. technique: cta of the head with and without contrast and reconstructions. comparisons: subsequent mri of showing normal diffusion. findings: no intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of normally midline structures or ct evidence of acute ischemia seen. there are hypodensities in the region of the left internal capsule and subcortical region of the left insular region consistent with old ischemic infarctions. there are mild periventricular hypodensities consistent with chronic small vessel angiopathy. vascular calcifications are seen within the intracranial portions of the internal carotid arteries and both vertebral arteries. there is opacification of several ethmoid air cells on the left. the reminder of the visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well pneumatized. the bony structures and surrounding soft tissue structures appear unremarkable. ct angiogram: no areas of hemodynamically significant stenosis are seen. there is no evidence of aneurysms or dissections. a fenestrated basilar artery is seen. impression: 1. no ct evidence of acute ischemia. old lacunar infarcts in left internal capsule and insular subcortical regions. 2. unremarkable ct angiogram without areas of stenosis, aneurysm or dissection. incidental note is made of a fenestrated basilar artery. object: r/o seizure in a patient with confusion. referring doctor: dr. dr. findings: abnormality #1: focal hz mixed delta and theta frequency slowing was seen involving left temporal region broadly. abnormality #2: bursts of generalized hz delta frequency slowing were seen throughout the recording. background: in the most awake-appearing portions of this tracing, a well-formed 11-11.5 hz alpha frequency background was seen with low voltage beta frequency activity superimposed. hyperventilation: was contraindicated. intermittent photic stimulation: could not be performed as the test was requested as a portable study. cardiac monitor: revealed a generally regular rhythm with average rate of 72 bpm. impression: this is an abnormal eeg due to the presence of focal slowing seen involving the left temporal region suggesting a subcortical abnormality in this area; neuroimaging is recommended. additionally, the presence of bursts of generalized slowing is suggestive of a mild encephalopathy of toxic, metabolic, or anoxic etiology. no evidence of ongoing seizures is seen. interpreted by: , b. mr head w & w/o contrast 4:22 pm mr head w & w/o contrast; mra brain w/o contrast reason: please assess for dwi lesion and cns

evidence of abnormal diffusion in this area. the tensor images do not extend all the way to the vertex. there is a focal area of abnormal signal on the susceptibility sequence in the left subcortical parietal white matter without mass effect or abnormal surrounding signal consistent with a cavernoma but possibly reflecting hemorrhage from other source. there is no evidence of a focal extra-axial lesion or fluid collection. ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent consistent with mild brain atrophy. there is increased signal in the ethmoid sinuses. there is no evidence of abnormal contrast enhancement. impression: abnormality of left calcarine cortex, possibly reflecting a meningeal process such as lymphomatous infiltration orperhaps earlier ischemia. the absence of contrast enhancement mitigates against tumor. a lesion in the left parietal lobe probably a cavernoma. see above discussion. ethmoid sinus disease. brain atrophy. mra of the circle of and its major tributaries there is no

exploratory laparotomy on , now with draining anterior abdominal wound. assess for fistula. technique: mdct images of the abdomen after the administration of oral and 100 cc of iv contrast. coronal and sagittal reformatted images were obtained. comparison: and . ct of the abdomen after administration of oral and iv contrast: there are new bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis. there is a new small pericardial effusion. new small amount of ascites is seen in the upper abdomen. the liver, spleen, pancreas, and adrenals are unremarkable. cysts are seen in both kidneys, unchanged from the prior study. cortical defect is seen in the mid portion of the left kidney at the site of a prior renal mass. previously noted tiny splenic hypodensities are not appreciated on this examination due to timing of contrast administration. a biliary stent is present. there has been interval placement of a percutaneous g-j tube terminating in the proximal jejunum. since the prior examination, the patient has undergone laparotomy with skin staples present. soft tissue stranding and small amount of fluid are seen anterior to the left lobe of the liver. posterior to the second staple in the upper abdomen, there appears to be a small fistula between the subcutaneous soft tissues in the anterior peritoneal cavity (series 2, image 25). another tubular-appearing area of inflammatory changes possibly representing a fistula is seen more inferiorly (series 2, image 45). a small fat-containing ventral hernia is seen near the inferior staple line (series 2, image 52). inflammatory changes and stranding are seen throughout the subcutaneous soft tissues of the anterior abdominal wall, posterior to the incisional line. no free air is seen in the abdomen, and there is no obvious a fistulous connection with the bowel. no evidence of oral contrast extravasation is seen. numerous small mesenteric lymph nodes are identified throughout the abdomen and larger paraaortic nodes, unchanged from the prior examinations. ct of the pelvis with oral and iv contrast: diverticula are seen throughout the sigmoid colon without evidence of diverticulitis. the rectum, bladder and visualized distal ureters are normal in appearance. the prostate is enlarged and contains several focal calcifications. no fluid is seen in the pelvis. deep pelvic and bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy is unchanged from the prior study. osseous structures demonstrate mild degenerative changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine with vacuum phenomenon and osteophyte formation. multiplanar reformatted images confirm the above findings. impression: 1. interval exploratory laparotomy. there are inflammatory changes seen in the subcutaneous soft tissues extending the length of the incision. there appears to be a fistula between the soft tissues of the anterior abdominal wall and the anterior abdominal cavity posterior to the second staple. no enterocutaneous fistula is identified but ct is insensitive for excluding small fistulas. there may be a second small fistulous connection more inferiorly as described above. 2. stable appearance of mesenteric, retroperitoneal, pelvic, and bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. 3. no pancreatic head mass identified. 9:04 am swab site: abdomen source: abdominal incision. **final report ** gram stain (final ): 1+ (<1 per 1000x

these findings are compatible with gastritis. 2. a previously placed plastic stent at the ampulla and a gj tube were visualized. both the stent and the gj tube were confirmed to be in place fluoroscopically. 3. the previously placed plastic stent was removed using a snare. 4. cholangiogram revealed a 3 cm stricture at the distal common bile duct. there was mild post-obstructive dilation of the common hepatic duct. in addition, the left intrahepatic duct did not fill with contrast very well. however, no obvious stricture, filling defects, and masses were appreciated in the intrahepatic ducts. 5. a 6 cm by 10 fr cotton biliary stent was placed successfully across the common bile duct stricture. clear bile was seen draining into the duodenum subsequently. recommendations 1. repeat ercp in two months. consider placement of metal wallstent if patient's prognosis is poor as a result of progression of castleman's disease. brief hospital course: patient was admitted to the general surgery service and iv hydration was administered. he was restarted on his home medications and kept npo. he was found to have bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy and on hd2 a r inguinal lymph node biopsy was performed. there were no complications and the patient returned to the floor from the recovery area. the patient was allowed to eat a regular diet as he wished, a picc line was placed for home tpn. on hd 3 the patient was transferred to the hematology/oncology service. . on , a code stroke was called for this patient. he was noted to have acute onset of a primarily motor aphasia, with anomia, inability to repeat, and only intermittently fluent speech. also has a mild r facial droop and perhaps some evidence of a field cut on the r. he was perseverative and inattentive. he had a ?left mca territory stroke without bleed. he was seen emergently by neurology and it was decided to give him tpa. patient was transferred to , then neuro-icu. repeat head ct done for worsening headache was negative. language and rest of deficits returned to . he began eating so tpn was stopped. patient was transferred to neurology floor on . he underwent carotid dopplers which were negative and had head mri, official read pending (prelim read negative for stroke). eeg showed left temporal slowing. he also had a lp which showed 2wbc, 1rbc, prot 32 gluc 73, cytology was also sent. patient thought to have ?embolic cva vs seizure d/o. transferred back to bmt service for further workup. . after transfer to bmt service patient waited while lymph node biopsy from inguinal node results were pending, these were inconclusive and he was transferred to surgery for ex-lap washout, ccy, gj tube, and more biopsies. a peri-portal lymph node biopsy showed atypical lymphadenopathy with findings consistent with multicentric castleman's disease, hhv8 negative. or cultures grew out hafnia alvei, serratia marcescens, and enterococcus sp. he was started on vancomycin and levofloxacin. his jp drain was pulled on pod 7. he continued to have fevers post-operatively which improved with antibiotic use. his abdominal incision was draining serosanginous fluid, frequently saturating his dressings. at this time his tube feedings were held and he was made npo due to nausea and vomiting. as bowel function improved, tube feedings were advanced to goal. an abdominal ct was performed to assess the wound drainage and it appeared to be a fistula between the soft tissues of the anterior abdominal wall and the anterior abdominal cavity posterior to the second staple. dressing changes continue and the drainage slowed gradually. he was transferred to the heme/onc service for steroid treatment of his castleman's disease. . on transfer to the bmt service, lft's were found elevated. gi service was reconsulted and ercp was performed. on a new stent was placed on the common bile duct obtaining drainage to the duodenum. patient should have a repeat ercp in 2 months. patient also had delirum in this setting, with + hallucinations and agitation. neurology was consulted who felt that it was not consistent with a seizure like activity, no focal findings, and felt that a metabolic etiology was more likely. all possible mental stauts changes medications were discontinued. treatment was also started with rituxan. on , patient's mental status cleared returning to his baseline. . for the treatment of his castleman's disease patient was given rituxan and steroids. he received his dose of retuxan on and also iv steroids. patient was given a second dose of rituxan on day of discharge. he will continue on high dose steroids for two weeks 50 mg prednisone until . patient will be seen in clinic on to decide further course. he tolerated this therapy well. . after physical

child and mild hypertension who presented to her pcp with shortness of breath. a pa and lateral chest x-ray revealed cardiomegaly and an admission cardiac revealed a pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology. a pericardial drain was placed which relieved the patient's symptoms. the patient also had a large right sided pleural effusion which was drained. neither fluid contained any organisms on gram stain (including specific stains for tuberculosis). cultures had not grown anything at the time of discharge. was checked and felt to be non-specific at 1:40. a tsh was elevated at 6.1 but the free t4 was normal at 1.7. the patient was never febrile and she never developped an elevated white blood cell count. . again, the patient's dyspnea resolved with drainage of her pericardial fluid. she did have some pain at the pericardial drainage and thoracentesis sites for which she was treated with percocet. she was noted to have an elevated hematocrit, which was thought to be unrelated to her pericarditis. it was determined that she should follow up with her pcp regarding this issue. on the day of discharge the patient complained of pain in her calves bilaterally. she had spent a significant time in bed and there was some concern for venous thromboembolism, so she was sent for bilateral lower extremity ultrasound. the results of this demonstrated a distal dvt. as it was symptomatic, she was started on lovenox and coumadin as discussed with her pcp. to frequent urination and boarderline hyponatremia she was discontinued on hctz and began on amlodipine. she

improvement. these measures should be continues. she was given ditropan with minimal improvement and the caliber of her foley was increased with no improvement. the next step may be removing the foley, but she has been resistent to this so far both because of the dysuria and because of reluctance to wear adult diapers. in addition, she has what looks like an incontinence rash in her groin,

the patient came in with bright red blood per rectum. did not have any episodes during this admission. he was initially stabilized with twice daily hematocrit checks and was given large bore ivs. he was typed and crossed. the goal was to keep his hematocrit above 30. because of his low ejection fraction he was given a small amount of drinking fluids. a gastrointestinal consult was obtained in which it was recommended for him to go for a colonoscopy. if he had any active bleeding it was decided he would go for a tagged red blood cell scan or an angiogram. he went for a colonoscopy on the following day of his admission. during that procedure it was discovered that he had diverticulosis of the colon and angiectasias in the rectum. also discovered was a mass in the proximal ascending colon which was biopsied. he also had polyps in the ascending colon which were removed. on direct directions from gi after the colonoscopy was performed was to avoid aspirin and ansaid and to start iron replacement therapy. it was felt that the mass found in the proximal ascending colon was most likely to be adenocarcinoma. the patient continued to have bowel movements with blood clots in them. hematology / oncology was then also consulted and recommended he have surgery if the family wished for it or palliative care. the family was interested in considering surgery. consequently a surgical consult was placed. surgery felt that he was in danger of bleeding without intervention. consequently they recommended surgery. the family agreed and consented to perform surgery. he had the surgery on . during the procedure a right-sided hemicolectomy was performed. there were no complications during the actual procedure. on postoperative day one the patient complained of substernal chest pain and shortness of breath. after having catheterization done was transferred to the ccu. further gi issues - he had a prolonged course in which he did not eat. consequently tpn was started. tpn was continued for approximately one week starting on . after he was able to have bowel sounds and then had bowel movements. he had improved po intake on and the tpn was discontinued on . the staples were removed on . the wound site had some drainage of serous sanguinous fluid but was controlled with dressing. he had a right-sided flank ecchymosis which did not enlarge and he only required one transfusion after the operation. 2. cardiac - the patient developed substernal chest pain postoperative day one of his surgery. he had shortness of breath. the ekg was suggestive of an anterior septal injury. the pain was slowly responding to medical treatment; however, the st segments remained elevated after the onset. he had probably a previous myocardial infarction in the inferior part of his heart resulting in low ef. because of his surgery he was not given any iib or iiia antagonists. the eeg had shown st elevations in v2 were very prominent. prior ekg had not showed st elevations v1 through v4. he has also had acute inferior leads but that is from an old mi. it was felt that he had an anteroseptal mi and was brought to cardiac catheterization. during this episode he was given aspirin and sublingual nitro. at that time he was transfused two units of blood. initially some considerations were cardiac catheterization that day however he initially was treated medically with heparin and aspirin. it was felt that he was possibly overloaded and was given some lasix. his enzymes were cycled and he had cardiac catheterization on the following day. cardiac catheterization revealed left main coronary artery with ulcerated 90% thrombotic stenosis which included the ostium of the lad. the lad had an ostial 90% with moderate calcifications. the left circumflex as the dominant vessel. the right coronary artery was the nondominant vessel with moderate severe diffuse disease. during the catheterization he had an angioject thrombectomy on the left main and lad. a stent was placed in the left main and into the lad. the final result was 0% residual in the lad and 30% in the left main. the ostium in the left circumflex was uncompromised. after the procedure he was continued on heparin for 48 hours. he was given clopidogrel, which was to be continued for 30 days. during the catheterization he had an intra-aortic balloon pump placed. he was also intubated. the aortic balloon pump was placed because of hypotension after the first dye injection. he was intubated in the setting of hemodynamic instability. subsequently he was transferred to the ccu. he also had a type i dissection when the first diagonal was engaged. the stent placed from left main to the lad and left circumflex was rescued with open sail. in the cath lab he was started on pressors but was weaned prior to arriving on the ccu floor. his cks were increasing from 140 to 371. his troponin was greater than 50 and his ck- mb when his ck was 371 was 34. because of the low heart rate his beta blocker was held initially. he was given fluids for low blood pressure. in the ccu he was started on the aspirin, continued on the heparin and plavix. he did not require pressor support when he was in the ccu. beta blocker was started on the second day in the ccu. he was started initially on a low dose 12.5 mg po of metoprolol. his intra aortic balloon pump was weaned and removed on . he had an episode of atrial fibrillation which he was cardioverted twice; however, it had no effect and was given iv metoprolol. he became slightly hypertensive to the metoprolol but never had a hypertensive crisis. he spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm. he had periods of atrial fibrillation but would convert after given 10 mg of metoprolol. he was started on amiodarone in the setting of the initial atrial fibrillation when he did not convert with the cardioversion. he was also started on captopril. the captopril was increased as tolerated by blood pressure. it was started at 12.5 and gradually increased to 37.5 mg po tid. it was felt that he was in congestive heart failure and had persistent pleural effusions particularly on the left side. he was started on lasix and he did not initially respond to po lasix at 20 mg po q day. consequently he was started on 40 mg iv as needed and he responded with that with diuresis. he was then converted to 25 mg po bid and continued to diurese; however, his creatinine increased and his furosemide was then decreased to 20 mg po q day. he initially was continued on heparin for his atrial fibrillation; however, because he is not a good candidate for chronic anticoagulation, the heparin was discontinued and he was not started on coumadin. 3. pulmonary - he was initially intubated because of the hypotensive episode during the cardiac catheterization. however he was quickly extubated two days after intubation. however he had secretions and sputum cultures grew out gram negative rods which were never speciated because of mixed flora. he was started on ceftazidine which was renally dosed and then because he had a temperature spike through that he was started on levaquin. actually he became afebrile. the ceftazidine was discontinued and he was just maintained on a 14 day course of levofloxacin. he had a poor cough effort and was given chest pt which improved his secretions clearance. he also had some expiratory wheezes and was started on albuterol and atrovent nebulizers. he responded well to it and did not have any other further episodes of wheezing. the other issue was his congestive heart failure which caused pleural effusion. he was diuresed with furosemide. 4. infectious disease - he had a temperature spike and felt to have pneumonia secondary to his ventilator experience. he had a left lower lobe infiltrate; however, the blood culture and urine culture were negative and sputum culture did not identify any dominant pathogen. he was started on ceftazidine and levofloxacin. he was then just converted to levofloxacin after he became afebrile. his white count remained elevated between 13 and 16; however, no new source of infection was found. the levofloxacin will be continued for 14 days. 5. renal - the patient's creatinine had been between 1.2 and 2 through the course of admission. toward the end of his admission after the aggressive diuresis his creatinine increased to 2.0. this is most likely secondary to his over diuresis and a prerenal azotemia. his bun was 90 at that time. consequently the first night's dose was decreased to 20 mg qod and the creatinine will need to be followed to make sure that it will decrease. 6. he had decrease hematocrit initially from the lower gi bleed. however after the surgery his hematocrit remained fairly stable. he had one episode during the acute chest pain which he received two units of blood. he also required another unit of blood on when his hematocrit decreased to 27.3; however, after the one unit of blood his hematocrit remained stable. code status: the patient and his family have decided to change his code status from full code to dnr/dni. discharge instructions: the patient will need to follow up with cardiology and with surgery. he also will likely need to be followed up by oncology and gi services. his surgery follow up should occur within two weeks. his cardiology follow up should be in approximately two weeks. he will need to continue his plavix for 30 days total. he will need to be followed up for a relook catheterization in approximately three months. discharge medications: 1. aspirin 325 mg po q day. 2. clopidogrel 75 mg po q day for 30 days which should be stopped on . 3. metoprolol 25 mg po tid. 4. levofloxacin 250 mg q day stop on . 5. furosemide 20 mg po qod. 6. captopril 37.5 mg po tid to be held for systolic blood pressure less than 97. 7. colace 100 mg po bid. 8. heparin 5000 units subcutaneous . 9. protonix 40 mg po q day. 10. amiodarone 400 mg po q day. discharge condition: the patient is in fair condition. discharge status: the patient is dnr/dni. diagnosis: 1. acute myocardial infarction. 2. colon adenocarcinoma. discharge instructions: the patient is to be discharged to hospital. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Insertion of non-drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) Combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization Coronary arteriography using two catheters Parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Insertion of endotracheal tube Implant of pulsation balloon Open and other right hemicolectomy Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Congestive heart failure, unspecified Cardiac complications, not elsewhere classified Atrial fibrillation Acute myocardial infarction of other inferior wall, initial episode of care Hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract, unspecified Diverticulosis of colon (without mention of hemorrhage) Malignant neoplasm of ascending colon

esophageal impaction: no relief with glucagon in the ed. egd was done and showed a tight impaction with food (pot roast) was found in the middle third of the esophagus at 30cm from the incisors. no ulceration were noted. the scope was removed and an overtube was passed to protect the airway while meat impaction was removed. the distal esophagus could not be seen despite multiple attempts to go around the bolus. the large biopsy forceps and net and colonoscopy snare were used to remove the meat. however after 90 mins, there was still a wedged piece of meat in the distal esophagus which could not be removed due to the patient becoming restless and concern about leaving the overtube in for a prolonged period of time. the pt was electively intubated for airway protection and sedation for a second attempt to remove the foreign body. during the second egd a food bolus was again seen in the middle third of the esophagus. it was pushed into the stomach with the endoscope, and the obstruction was completely removed. there were some erosions seen on the site of the bolus. in a patient with prior food impaction 20 yrs back, a motility disorder and/or a schatzki's ring was suspected. a mild schatzki's ring was found in the lower third of the esophagus, probably not accounting for the impaction. a small size hiatal hernia was seen. the pt was extubated and his pt's diet was subsequently advanced slowly. repeat egd in a few weeks to f/u on the ring and biopsy to r/o eosinophilic esophagitis was recommended. the pt was empricially treated with ceftriaxone for presumed

history of present illness: the patient is a 36-year-old female with past medical history significant for chronic back pain and neck pain requiring chronic pain medication was admitted to outside hospital on for three days of increasing abdominal pain that was initially sudden on onset. the patient also had 8 weeks of green yellowish vaginal discharge. the patient was febrile with temperature of 104 in the emergency room at an outside hospital and tachycardiac and decreased blood pressure with systolic in the 60's. the patient was found to have peritoneal signs and subsequently taken to the operating room. there on open laparotomy the patient was found to have "pus in her abdomen and pelvis, rapid strep test was performed and was positive for group b strep. the patient had initially been treated with broad spectrum antibiotics which was changed to penicillin and clindamycin. on the patient was changed to vancomycin and flagyl to also cover a blood culture positive for coagulase negative staph infection. there was no clear source of infection and abdomen and pelvis on laparotomy. the patient remained intubate with increasing o2 requirement that worsened consistent with adult respiratory distress syndrome. the patient was previously on levophed times 36 hours, now stress dose steroids were subsequently discontinued. the patient had a colonoscopy on , evaluated for c. diff colitis which was negative. past medical history: 1. endometriosis. 2. history of status post appendectomy. 3. history of oophorectomy on the left side. 4. chronic back pain and neck pain. 5. lower extremity reflex sympathetic dystrophy. 6. radiculopathy with epidural fibrosis on chronic narcotics. 7. migraines. allergies: codeine and morphine and sulfa. medications: 1. meperidine upon transfer 50 mg p.o. mg b.i.d. 2. lasix 20 mg intravenous time two. 3. vancomycin 1.5 grams q 12 hours. 4. albuterol mdi. 5. propofol ggt 6. flagyl 250 mg q 6 hours. 7. insulin sliding scale. social history: the patient has one child via invetro fertilization, quit tobacco eight years ago. rare tobacco usage. physical examination: upon presentation temperature 101, heart rate 94, blood pressure 127/54 sating at 97% respiratory rate 34 on vent settings. an assist control 400, tidal volume respiratory rate 24, fio2 100%, peep 12. in general sedated but tachypneic, not responding to commands. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination is normocephalic, atraumatic. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements intact. oropharynx was clear. neck: left ij line in place, no lymphadenopathy appreciated. lungs: clear bilateral crackles. heart: regular rate and rhythm. normal s1 and s2. no murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdominal examination: midline incision with staples at the laparotomy site. no drainage. hypoactive bowel sounds, nontender to palpation, warm and erythematous over abdomen and flanks. extremities: 2+ nonpitting ankle edema, 2+ nonpitting edema of the hands. dp/pt pulses 2+ bilaterally. neurologic exam: sedated, not following commands. labs: upon presentation white count 15,700, hematocrit 26.4, hemoglobin 8.6, platelets 535,000. prothrombin time of 12.8, ptt 30.4. inr 1.1. sodium 141, potassium 3.8, chloride 109, bicarbonate 24, bun 13, creatinine 0.4. glucose of 104. calcium 7.9, magnesium 1.5. chest x-ray: slight increase worsening of her adult respiratory distress syndrome, bilateral infiltrates. assessment/plan: 36-year-old female who has sepsis status post abdominal surgery on possible pelvic source who now with persistent o2 requirement and bilateral infiltrates and fevers suggestive of adult respiratory distress syndrome. hospital course by systems: 1. pulmonary. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit originally tried on assist control ventilation. however, the patient had persistently high pulmonary pressures in the 50's, a transesophageal balloon was placed which confirmed the patient's pressures. the patient had episodes of acute hypoxemia and hypercarbia. during hospital course initially was difficult to ventilate and oxygenate. the patient was subsequently tried with increased paralytics however, the patient despite large doses of paralytics was not paralyzed. the patient was also placed on increasing doses of sedation requiring fentanyl of 1300 mg per hour and ativan at 20 mg per hour. despite these, the patient was very light on sedation. ultimately the patient was proned with improvement in her oxygenation and ventilation. the patient was subsequently left on pressure control ventilation for prolonged period of time with permissive hypercapnia, ph allowed to fall to 7.2. the patient ultimately was changed over to pressure support. ventilation was adequate ventilation, oxygenation and sedation was subsequently weaned. the patient was ultimately trached on . the patient will require prolonged weaning course for her adult respiratory distress syndrome. 2. cardiology. tachycardia, the patient was always tachycardiac during hospital course secondary to anxiety. the patient had several episodes of hypotension requiring intravenous fluid boluses and transient chemical pressors which the patient subsequently was able to wean off. recorded stem test which was performed upon admission for her hypertension and subsequently was normal. the patient is currently hemodynamically stable however, remains tachycardiac. electrocardiogram reveals sinus tachycardia. 3. renal. the patient had normal bun and creatinine throughout hospital course and has good urine output. the patient's in's and out's have been relatively even. all her intravenous fluids in were diuresed through her urine. 4. infectious disease. during hospital course upon presentation the patient was febrile. unclear of source. outside blood cultures grew out group a strep. the patient was continued on clindamycin, vancomycin, cefepime and was covered broadly during initially. gynecology was consulted with regards to patient possible vaginal source. vaginal cultures were negative. chlamydia and gc were also negative. vaginal ultrasound was performed upon presentation which originally was questionable hydropyelosalpinx however, ct scan of her abdomen did not confirm this. a ct scan of abdomen did reveal large amounts of pelvic fluid of which intervention radiology was consulted for sampling of the fluid. ultrasound guided sampling of the fluid did not reveal any organisms and cultures have thus been negative thus far. the patient persistently spiked temperatures during hospital course and blood cultures have not grown any organism to date. only one set of cultures have been positive, 1/2 bottles drawn through an arterial line and the arterial line grew out coagulase staph, arterial line subsequently discontinued and the catheter tip grew out coagulase negative staph as well. infectious disease ultimately recommended peeling back on antibiotics after she completed her course of clindamycin for group a strep. cefepime was subsequently discontinued. the patient subsequently defervesced after peeling back of antibiotics. the patient was started on acyclovir intravenously for cutaneous hsv which was positive on tsa staining. the patient was covered empirically for hsv encephalitis as lumbar puncture was attempted to rule out hsv encephalitis however, was unsuccessful given the patient's history of lower back surgery and multiple injections. the patient was covered empirically for c. diff colitis as well with metronidazole given the patient's prolonged course of clindamycin, cefepime. the patient had not had any stool or bowel movements. the patient received a seven day course of flagyl. ultimately vancomycin was restarted on for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in her sputum as for increased secretions. 5. genitourinary: given the fact that the patient had pus in her pelvis and abdomen upon presentation to the hospital gynecology service was consulted "for questionable group a strep", pelvic inflammatory disease. the patient was covered broadly with clindamycin, vancomycin and cefepime originally. vaginal cultures were negative and as mentioned infectious disease the patient's transvaginal ultrasound revealed hydropyelosalpinx however, on ct scan was not confirmed. the patient was treated for a course of group a strep, bacteremia and subsequently antibiotics were peeled back. 6. gastrointestinal. the patient was placed on total parenteral nutrition upon presentation and subsequently tube feeds were started and ultimately a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube was placed for further nutritional needs. with regards to the patient's adult respiratory distress syndrome infectious disease addendum to this discharge summary will be made at a later date with discharge medications. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous
