Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 5755**]
Chief Complaint:
Altered mental status
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 64 [**Doctor First Name **] Scientist female w/ h/o untreated
diabetes who presents from her living facility with change in
mental status. She has been living at [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] Scientist
facility receiving supportive care for the past 2 months. She
was ambulatory as recently as a few days ago, able to ambulate
to a bedside commode, and she was noted to have urinary
frequency. Over the past couple of days, her family noticed a
change in mental status, as she became less verbal and less
lucid. By this morning she was clearly delirious and agitated
and was brought to [**Hospital1 18**] ED.
.
In the ED, her blood glucose level was found to be 1135. She was
started on an insulin gtt and given aggressive IVF hydration.
Her rectal temp on arrival was 99.8 and her abdomen was noted to
be distended and firm. The patient was initially treated broadly
with Vancomycin and Flagyl. A Foley catheter was placed and 2L
of urine was drained. UA was positive and CT abdomen showed
mod/severe bilateral hydronephrosis with pyelonephritis. The
patient was given CTX. The patient was given a total of Haldol
5mg IV and Ativan 1mg IV for agitation. A CXR and 2 head CTs
limited by motion were unremarkable.
.
On arrival to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], FS was critically high (>400). A 5U
bolus of insulin was given and the rate of the gtt was increased
to 10U/hr.
Past Medical History:
Diabetes
Poor vision (?diabetic retinopathy vs. cataracts)
Social History:
Has 2 children (son and daughter), has been a practicing
[**Doctor First Name **] Scientist for at least 30 years
Family History:
mother, sister w/ DM
Physical Exam:
VS: 97.2 (axillary), 113, 117/66, 19, 99% 2L NC
Gen: drowsy, intermittently agitated, not responsive to commands
HEENT: left pupil opaque, right pupil round and reactive to
light, anicteric
Neck: supple, no carotid bruits
Lungs: limited by inability to follow commands, but CTAB
CV: tachy, RR, nl S1S2, no m/r/g
Abd: hypoactive bowel sounds, S/NT/ND, midline surgical scar
from lower abdomen to pubic symphysis
Rectal: guaiac neg per ED
Ext: no c/c/e, DP/PT pulses 2+ b/l
Neuro: drowsy, not oriented, unable to conduct full neuro exam
due to mental status
Pertinent Results:
Imaging:
CXR: No acute cardiopulmonary disease. No evidence of
infiltrate or
aspiration.
.
Head CT #1: Technically limited study secondary to patient
motion artifact. No gross abnormality identified. The foramen
magnum was not evaluated on this exam.
.
Head CT #2: Limited study with no evidence of acute intracranial
hemorrhage.
.
CT Abd/pelvis [**2111-2-10**]:
1. Moderate/severe bilateral hydronephrosis with right sided
pyelonephritis and evidence of early liquefaction. Follow-up CT
is recommended following treatment to exclude an underlying
lesion.
2. Dilated ureters extend into the pelvis to a
circumferentially thick-walled, enhancing bladder - the
appearance is concerning for infection.
3. Distended bladder despite foley catheter. Clinical
correlation is requested.
4. Mild stranding in right inguinal region may be related to
renal infection/inflammation. While the appendix is not clearly
visualized, there is no abnormal enhancement in and around the
cecum to suggest appendicitis.
.
CT ABD/PELVIS/CHEST [**2111-2-17**]:
1. Interval development of right perinephric abscess inferior
to the lower
pole of right kidney.
2. Interval resolution of left hydronephrosis and hydroureter.
Partial
resolution of the right hydronephrosis and hydroureter.
Complete drainage of
the enlarged bladder.
3. Prebronchial opacity in the right upper lobe most likely
represents
inflammatory change, please correlate clinically and evaluate
for resolution.
.
[**2110-2-20**] CT-GUIDED DRAINAGE: Successful percutaneous CT
fluoroscopy-guided aspiration of the
perinephric abscess.
.
[**2111-4-7**] CT ABD/PELVIS:
1. No evidence of bowel obstruction or bowel wall thickening to
explain the patient's persistent diarrhea.
2. Interval resolution of right perinephric abscess/infection
inferior to the lower pole of the right kidney.
3. Decreased size of hypodense wedge-shaped areas of low
attenuation within the lower pole of the right kidney, likely
reflecting resolving
pyelonephritis.
4. Mild to moderate bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter.
No obstructing stone or mass identified. There is marked
distention of the bladder. Findings may represent ureteral
reflux secondary to bladder outlet obstrution or atony.
Clinical correlation is recommended.
.
EKG: sinus tachy at 109, nl axis, nl intervals, no ST-T changes
.
[**2111-2-10**] URINE INSTRUMENTATION: NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS.
Urothelial cells, squamous cells, histiocytes, neutrophils, and
red blood cells.
.
[**2111-2-16**] RENAL U/S: Persistent hydronephrosis, moderate on the
right and borderline mild on the left. Heterogeneous
echogenicity with several echogenic areas in the right kidney
likely pyelonephritis.
.
[**2111-3-9**] MR [**Name13 (STitle) 6452**]: No evidence of focal disc protrusion. Facet
disease at 4-5 and [**5-26**]. Diffusely abnormal marrow signal
attributable to fibrosis. No definite evidence of disc
infection or epidural abscess.
.

URINE CULTURE (Final [**2111-4-4**]):
Culture workup discontinued. Further incubation showed
contamination
with mixed skin/genital flora. Clinical significance of
isolate(s)
uncertain. Interpret with caution.
ENTEROCOCCUS SP.. >100,000 ORGANISMS/ML..
URINE CULTURE (Preliminary):
CITROBACTER FREUNDII COMPLEX. >100,000 ORGANISMS/ML..
Trimethoprim/Sulfa sensitivity testing confirmed by
[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 3077**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 3060**].
This organism may develop resistance to third
generation
cephalosporins during prolonged therapy. Therefore,
isolates that
are initially susceptible may become resistant within
three to
four days after initiation of therapy. For serious
infections,
repeat culture and sensitivity testing may therefore be
warranted
if third generation cephalosporins were used.
GRAM NEGATIVE ROD #2. 10,000-100,000 ORGANISMS/ML..
FURTHER IDENTIFICATION TO FOLLOW.
Brief Hospital Course:
64F w/ untreated diabetes presents with altered mental status,
found to be in DKA.
.
## DKA: Glucose was found to be 1135 on admission. She was
started on insulin gtt in the ED and received IV hydration with
NS originally. She did have ketones in her urine and her bicarb
was 21. Her anion gap had closed upon transfer to ICU and her
glucose had corrected to 400s. Her insulin drip was continued
and her blood glucose continued to correct. With improved
control of her glucose, insulin gtt was stopped and she was
started on basal insulin and sliding scale with good control of
her BS. This occurred in the setting of a UTI/pyelonephritis
and longstanding uncontrolled diabetes. [**Last Name (un) **] followed
throughout hospital course. Eventually patient transferred to
NPH [**Hospital1 **] with outstanding control of blood sugars.
.
## Transaminitis: Suspect secondary to antibiotics.
Hepatititis A,B,C serologies negative. CK normal. CT showed a
normal liver. Bilirubin remained normal and patient had no ruq
pain. LFTs have since returned to the normal range.
.
## Diarrhea: Suspect viral gastroenteritis. C diff negative x
3, including toxin B negative. Symptom free x 5 days.
.
## Altered mental status: At baseline, son reports very
functional w/o delirium nor dementia. Certainly multifactorial
in the setting of gross hyperglycemia and metabolic insult,
hypernatremia, and infection. Her mental status began to clear
with correction of the above. With continued treatment of her
pyelonephritis, her mental status returned to baseline. Folate,
B12, TSH, and RPR unrevealing.
Psychiatry was consulted later in the hospital course, who was
concerned about an underlying dementia (see legal issues,
below).
.
#Legal Issues: as noted above, the patient is [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]
Scientist. She was living in [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] Scientist group home,
and during the hospital course she expressed some remorse that
her son had allowed her to come to the ED. She expressed doubts
about modern medicine and remained adamant that prayer and
healing would cure her diabetes. However, while in the hospital
she did not refuse medical treatments and was quite agreeable to
the medical team's recommendations for acute treatment.
Psychiatry was consulted to help to determine whether the
patient truly understood the basis of her disease and had the
capacity to make her own decisions. Further history obtained
from psychiatry was that the patient had several pscyh
hospitalizations in the past, and that her [**Doctor First Name **] Scientist
beliefs were not mainstream. Hence, legal gaurdianship was
pursued and is currently pending. Her son was not intereseted
in pursuing this role as he felt his mother still harbored
resentment to his views of [**Doctor First Name **] Scientists. Please note,
patient is not felt to be competent to refuse insulin treatment.
.
## UTI/pyelonephritis: In the ED, her UA was positive, but
urine culture revealed microflora. When foley was placed, 2L of
urine returned. CT abdomen/pelvis revealed bilateral
hydronephrosis and right pyelonephritis. She was started on
vancomycin and ceftriaxone. In the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], vanco was discontinued
and antibiotics were changed to ciprofloxacin. However, while
on cipro she again began to spike fevers so her antibiotics were
changed to zosyn. She continued to have fevers and thus repeat
CT was done which showed a small perinephric fluid collection.
Given persistent fevers, this collection was drained to identify
the underlying organism to rule out resistance. CT done for
this procedure showed a resolving fluid collection. 2 cc of
bloody fluid was obtained but culture was negative. Patient
defervesced (following addition of azithro as well for ? RUL
infiltrate). ID consulted to aid with possible po regimen. She
completed a total of 3 weeks of antibiotics (eventually changed
to PO Augmentin/Cipro. She is now back on cipro for a recurrent
UTI (CITROBACTER FREUNDII COMPLEX and a 2nd gram negative rod).
Sensitivities of the 2nd gram negative rod are still pending at
the time of this dictation.
.
## Urinary retention: Given untreated diabetes, may reflect
neurogenic bladder w/ bilateral hydronephrosis resulting. A
foley was placed and maintained while mental status remained
depressed. Urology was consulted in house and do not recommend
stenting at this time, given hydronephrosis improving. She
subsequently failed multiple voiding trials. For a period of
time she received intermittent straight cath but is requiring
this at least 1-2 times per day to decompress her bladder.
Given current UTI, foley placed to aid in clearance of UTI and
to minimize risk of ascending infection. She will need
outpatient urology follow-up for urodynamic testing.
.
## ARF: Likely from dehydration and UTI/pyelo/obstruction. Her
creatinine normalized rapidly with IV hydration, relief of
obstruction, and antibiotic initiation.
.
## Anemia: Unknown baseline. She was without evidence of active
bleeding and hct drop was likely from aggressive fluid
resuscitation. Hct remained stable following initial
resuscitation. Anemia stuides c/w Anemia of Chronic Disease.
.
##Toe Drop: the patient developed Left Toe drop while in house.
Neuro consulted, who felt that likely etiology was peripheral
neuropathy. MRI L spine negative. Improved sponatenously
during hosptialization.

Pathology Report INVESTIGATION OF TRANSFUSION REACTION Study
Date of [**2116-2-11**]
(ICD9 CODE: 999.8)
INDICATION FOR CONSULT: INVESTIGATION OF TRANSFUSION REACTION
INDICATIONS FOR CONSULT:
Investigation of transfusion reaction
CLINICAL/LAB DATA: Mr. [**Known lastname 14558**] is a 67 y/o man with PMH
significant for
multiple myeloma, DVT and schizophrenia admitted on [**2116-2-5**] for
GI bleeding. Two weeks ago he was admitted to [**Hospital1 112**] for similar
reasons, and he was transfused at that time. He has received
multiple
blood transfusions at [**Hospital1 18**] during this admission with no
previously
reported reactions.
On [**2116-2-11**] at 2215, following premedication with tylenol, Mr.
[**Known lastname 14558**]
was transfused approximately 170 ml of compatible leukoreduced
packed
red blood cells. Pre-transfusion vitals were: T=99.8; HR=99;
RR=20; BP=136/84. The transfusion was stopped at 2330, after his
temperature rose to 101.2. He also developed chills/rigors, but
had no
other symptoms. There were no significant changes in BP, HR and
RR during the transfusion. Of note, on admission, he had a urine
culture positive for Klebsiella Pneumonia. A routine clerical
check
revealed no errors.
Laboratory Data:
Patient ABO/Rh: Group O, Rh positive
Red Cell Product (21KQ[**Pager number 58759**]) ABO/Rh: Group O, Rh positve
Post-transfusion serum: yellow, DAT negative
Transfusion History:
Previous non-reactive red cell transfusions: 7
Previous non-reactive platelet transfusions: 4
Transfusion restriction met: Yes
DIAGNOSIS, ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mr. [**Known lastname 14558**] experienced a mild temperature increase of 1.4
degrees F
after receiving 170 ml of a leukoreduced compatible red cell.
Laboratory
workup revealed no evidence of hemolysis. The patient had a
positive urine culture for Klebsiella Pneumonia upon admission.
Given
that leukoreduction significantly decreases the incidence of
febrile
non-hemolytic transfusion reactions, the patient's fever is
likely
secondary to his underlying illness. However, a febrile
non-hemolytic
transfusion reaction cannot be completely ruled out. No change
in
transfusion practice is recommended at this time in this
patient.

Admission Date: [**2189-11-19**] Discharge Date: [**2189-12-4**]
Date of Birth: [**2189-11-19**] Sex: M
Service: NB
Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname **] is the 696 gram product of a 24 and [**2-21**]
week twin gestation. Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname **] is twin two. The
infant was born to a 28 year old gravida III, para 0 mother.
Mother's blood type O positive, antibody negative, RPR
nonreactive, rubella immune, hepatitis B negative, group B
strep status unknown.
There was prenatal diagnosis that this twin had a neural
tube defect. Mother had spontaneous rupture of membranes and
preterm labor. The infant was born by cesarean section on
[**2189-11-19**], due to transverse lie. He had no respirations,
minimal heart rate at the time of delivery. He required
resuscitation in the delivery room. Apgar scores were one at
one minute, one at five minutes, five at ten minutes and
seven at fifteen minutes. He was admitted to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit from the delivery room on assisted
ventilation.
The following is the assessment at the time of admission -
Examination was consistent with a 24 and [**2-21**] week gestation.
Infant birth weight 696 grams with severe respiratory
distress, obvious neural tube defect.
Summary of infant's course from [**2189-11-19**], through
[**2189-12-4**], is that he continued to have respiratory failure
secondary to his immature lungs and severe neonatal lung
disease. He also had hydrocephalus which is in conjunction
with his neural tube defect. The progressive hydrocephalus
may also have contributed to his cardiovascular respiratory
failure. On the day of his death, his cardiovascular
respiratory failure exacerbated despite being on increasing
intervention with assisted ventilation at 100 percent oxygen,
increasing pressures from the respirator, increasing
ventilator rate.
The baby required frequent bag mask ventilation as he
would not recover on his own from severe bradycardia and
desaturations.
The infant had a continuous leak from his neural tube defect.
Neurosurgeons would not be able to correct this particular
defect given his other concerns until he was approximately
ten weeks older than when he was born. Parents were well
aware that lack of surgery with continued leaking of the
neural tube defect would predispose the infant to infection.
The infant was on antibiotics. The Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit staff discussed with the parents multiple times during
the course from the time the infant was born through the day
of his death regarding his extremely critical status and for
consideration of limiting or withdrawing support. The
parents understood the major medical challenges that the
infant faced. Due to the progression of bradycardia and
desaturations on [**2189-12-4**], and what was apparent futility
in continuing treatment, we discussed again with the family
withdrawal of support. Because of his progressive
deterioration, they were in agreement with withdrawal of
support. The baby was extubated [**2189-12-4**], ten minutes
after three pm. He was pronounced dead [**2189-12-4**], at 1550.
Autopsy was requested of the parents by myself. The parents
declined autopsy. At the time of this dictaion on
[**2189-12-5**], the hospital staff is still awaiting
information regarding what funeral home and funeral director
will be responsible for taking the body from the hospital
morgue. The family has not yet made a decision about funeral
director or funeral home or the type of service for the baby.
I called and spoke with the mother [**2189-12-4**] to inform her
about the time of death. I also followed up with a
telephone call to the mother on the morning of [**12-5**] to
inquire how they were and to update the parents on the status
of the surviving sibling, [**Last Name (un) **].
Overall assessment of [**Known lastname 19961**]: extremely preterm baby 24
and [**2-21**] week
gestation twin who had additional major complications of
neural tube
defect (that was not reparable at this time) and
hydrocephalus. Both the
severe preterm lung disease and progressive hydrocephalus
contributed to this infant's overall cardiorespiratory
failure which I attribute to both the extreme immaturity and
the hydrocephalus.

2. Rotation of C1 on C2 which may be positional but must be
clinically correlated.
3. Cystic structure lateral to the left massator muscle may
represent a sebaceous cyst but it should be clinically
correlated.
.
CT head ([**8-24**]): IMPRESSION:
1. No hemorrhage or mass effect.
2. Mild paranasal sinus mucosal disease.
.
Urine Culture: No growth
.
Blood Culture: pending
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt is a 50 yo man with h/o EtOH, found down with EtOH
intoxication, initially intubated for airway protection and
admitted to MICU.
.
# EtOH: Pt presented after being found down, presumably from
EtOH intoxication as EtOH level was 627 on presentation. CT
head showed to intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. He was
initially intubated for airway protection, and was sent to the
MICU where he remained stable. He was then extubated, and
continued to be awake and alert. He was monitored for alcohol
withdrawal (he reports his last drink was on Thursday) and was
maintained on a CIWA scale. His CIWA had gone up to 11
overnight in the MICU, and he only required [**12-29**] doses of
diazepam for some tremulousness and mild tachycardia (HR low
100's). He was given 4 L of a banana bag in the ED, which was
changed to MVI, thiamine and folic acid PO once the patient was
transferred to the floor. Social Work was consulted for his
EtOH abuse and family relations (sister is "fed up" with pt's
EtOH use, and patient lives w/ his sister). The patient was
referred to a [**Month/Day (3) 32231**] Partial Program at [**Hospital1 1680**]/[**Location (un) 538**]
from Monday - Friday, which will start the day following his
discharge. The patient reports he is willing to join AA.
.
# Elevated CK: Pt presented wtih elevated CK, but had flat MB
and trop. CK initially trended up to 671, now at 519. This is
likely secondary to him being found down, and was not in the
range consistent with rhabdomyolysis. The patient did not need
high rate IVF for this the elevated CKs.
.
# Transaminitis: Pt w/ mildly elevated LFTs on presentation
which appear stable. The transaminitis is likely due to
alcoholic liver disease. HepBsAG negative and HepBsAb negative.
Otherwise, the patient had no other signs of synthetic
dysfunction as his albumin and coags were within normal limits.
.
# Thrombocytopenia: Pt presented with mild thrombocytopenia
(down to 98) on CBC. This is likely secondary to marrow
suppression vs splenic sequestration from EtOH.
.
# Malrotation of C1-C2: Pt had C-spine film that demonstrated
rotation of C1 and C2, which may be positional. It also showed
a cystic structure lateral to the left massator muscle may
represent a sebaceous cyst but it should be clinically
correlated. The patient was placed in a hard C-collar.
Neurosurgery cleared his neck and the hard collar was removed.
The patient is scheduled for a repeat cervical CT scan in 6
weeks, and a follow up appointment with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 548**] in
neurosurgery.

IMAGING/STUDIES:
GALLBLADDER/LIVER ULTRASOUND [**2124-10-9**]:
Impression:
1. Dilated CBD to 1 cm with multiple stones within it,
consistent with
choledocolithiasis. Mild intrahepatic biliary prominence.
2. Distended gallbladder with wall thickening, pericholecystic
fluid and
non-shadowing stones/sludge, concerning of cholecystitis.
ERCP [**2124-10-10**]:
Impression:
The exam of major papilla was normal.
A 5Fx5cm pancreatic stent was placed to facilitate the
cannulation of CBD.
Cannulation of the biliary duct was successful and deep.
Given cholangitis, small amount of contrast was injected with
opacification of CBD only.
There were some filling defects at the distal CBD suggesting
stones and sludge. CBD measured 7-8 mm.
The proximal PD was normal.
Given the elevated INR, sphincterotomy was deferred.
A 7cm by 10FR Cotton [**Doctor Last Name **] pancreatic stent was placed
successfully in the CBD. Some pus and sludge came out.
The PD stent was removed with a snare.
Otherwise normal ERCP to third part of the duodenum.
ERCP [**2124-10-13**]:
Impression:
A plastic stent was noted in the biliary tree - This stent
appeared to be blocked with stones/sludge.
A guidewire was placed into the biliary duct through the stent.
A snare was then passed to remove the stent while maintaining
access.
Sphincterotome was then advanced over the guidewire into the
biliary tree and contrast medium was injected resulting in
complete opacification.
Several small stones and one 1 cm stone were seen at the common
bile duct.
The CBD measured 11 mm.
A sphincterotomy was performed in the 12 o'clock position using
a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire.
Two stones and debris were extracted successfully using a
balloon.
Final cholangiogram did not reveal any filling defects.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the West-1 surgery service with
suspected cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. Given her extensive
medical history/co-morbidities which included end stage renal
disease in conjunction with congestive heart failure, she was
admitted to the SICU for close monitoring of her fluid status
and further management of her biliary disease. She was begun on
IV Vancomycin and Zosyn prophylactically - dosed for dialysis -
and kept NPO.
She was immediately transfused 2 units of FFP and given 5 of
Vitamin K+ in an attempt to normalize her elevated INR (9.5 on
admission). Her Coumadin was held, and she underwent a R. upper
quadrant ultrasound which demonstrated findings consistent with
both choledocolithiasis and cholecystitis. The patient was
stabilized on antibiotics overnight, and was scheduled for ERCP
the following morning. However at that time her INR remained
elevated at 5.6 and she required another 4 units of FFP while on
dialysis, in addition to 10 of Vitamin K+ in order to normalize
her to an INR of 1.6.
During the ERCP a pancreatic stent was required to facilitate
access to the biliary system (removed at the end of the
procedure), and a common bile duct stent was placed to allow
drainage of the biliary obstruction caused by stones and sludge.
However, due to the patient's elevated INR, no sphincterotomy or
stone removal was performed. Frank pus was noted to be draining
from the common bile duct, and post-ERCP it was recommended that
the patient remain on IV Zosyn for at least a week. The
Vancomycin was discontinued.
Initially the patient did well post-procedure and the following
morning was transferred out of the SICU to the floors - during
which time she was tolerating PO and with improved abdominal
pain. However, later in the afternoon her bilirubin levels were
noted to be elevated (to 9.9 from 6.5 and the following morning
this was further increased to 12.0 - leading to concern for
obstruction of the biliary stent. As the patient was noted to be
clinically stable, afebrile with a normal WBC count, pain-free,
and in all other respects with a non-septic clinical picture, it
was recommended by gastroenterology that the patient's
LFTs/serum bilirubin be trended and the patient be observed for
another day on antibiotics.
On hospital day 4 (post-procedure day 3) the patient returned to
ERCP for re-evaluation of her biliary stent as her LFTs and
bilirubin continued an upward trend. On ERCP the previous
biliary stent was noted to be acutely obstructed by biliary
sludge and stones. As the patient's INR was normalized to 1.2, a
sphincterotomy was safely performed, with removal of several
biliary stones in addition to the common bile duct stent. At the
conclusion of the procedure, retrograde cholangiogram was
negative for filling defects.
The patient again tolerated the procedure well, and without
complications. However, post-procedure her serum bilirubin
levels remained elevated for several days, with a slow
down-trend despite negative hemolysis work-up, and no complaint
of further abdomina pain, nausea, or vomiting. A R. upper
quadrant ultrasound was obtained on hospital day 7
(post-procedure day 2 following second ERCP) to rule out liver
abscess as a possible cause of persistently elevated bilirubin.
This was negative for abscess and the gallbladder was noted to
be non-distended although the gallbladder wall remained
thickened. Hepatitis serologies were negative for infection.
The ERCP team was again consulted, and did not believe a repeat
procedure to be warranted as they believed the elevated
bilirubin levels to be secondary to accumulation from prior
biliary obstruction and slow clearance due to the patient's
severe renal dysfunction.
Additionally, beginning on hospital day 6 the patient had
multiple bouts of diarrhea and stool samples returned positive
for C. diff colitis. As WBC count was not elevated, the patient
was initially treated with oral Flagyl alone. However following
two days of increasing numbers of bowel movements despite
antibiotics, treatment was upgraded to oral Vancomycin and IV
Flagyl.
The patient was stabilized on this regimen with a gradual
down-trend in her serum bilirubin levels and a decrease in her
diarrhea. By hospital day 12 it was deemed appropriate to
discharge the patient home. At the time of discharge she was
tolerating PO, had been afebrile since initial admission, was
ambulating independently with a cane, had no pain issues, and
was otherwise stable.
The patient was discharged on PO Augmentin 500mg q24hrs
(replaced IV Zosyn) to complete a total of 14 days antibiotics.
As her diarrhea had demonstrated significant improvement and her
WBC count remained within normal limits, IV Flagyl and PO
Vancomycin were discontinued and she was discharged with PO
Flagyl 500mg q8hrs.
She will follow-up with her PCP for titration of her Coumadin
which had been held for the entirety of her hospital stay. INR
prior to discharge was 1.5
The patient will follow-up with Dr. [**Known lastname **] in clinic during the
week following discharge and re-evaluation of liver enzymes and
bilirubin levels.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 38-year-old male with
a past medical history significant for bipolar disorder as
well as a previous suicide attempt by carbon monoxide
poisoning, who was started on lithium one month prior to
admission, who took 90 tablets of sustained lithium on the
day of admission.
The patient stated he had been feeling quite depressed
concerning his wife and was concerned that she had been
unfaithful to him. The patient states he took the lithium at
about 7 a.m. on the morning of admission and was found by his
father around 3 p.m. At that time, he was lethargic but
arousable. He was then taken to [**Hospital3 **] Hospital at 4 p.m.
where his lithium level was 5 mEq per liter. The patient
vomited times three. There were pill fragments noted. He
was given 2 liters of normal saline, 1 liter of GoLYTELY by
nasogastric tube, and was then transferred to [**Hospital1 346**].
The patient was seen by both Toxicology and Renal who decided
that emergent dialysis would be safest option.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Bipolar disorder.
2. Attention deficit disorder.
3. Suicide attempt times one in the past.
4. Carbon monoxide poisoning attempt in the past.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Lithium 300 mg p.o. q.d.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He is a smoker. He lives with his father.
FAMILY HISTORY: Depression in mother and father.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
on admission to the Medical Intensive Care Unit revealed
vital signs with a blood pressure of 105/48, heart rate was
89, oxygen saturation was 95%, respiratory rate was 18, and
oral temperature was 98.1. Neurologic examination revealed
alert and oriented times three. No sensory or motor
deficits. Lethargic with 5/5 strength. No nystagmus. Deep
tendon reflexes were 2+. Head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat
examination revealed mucous membranes were moist. No jugular
venous distention. Cardiovascular examination revealed
tachycardic. Lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally.
The abdomen was benign. Extremity examination revealed no
edema.
PERTINENT LABORATORY VALUES ON PRESENTATION: Laboratories
revealed white blood cell count was 9, hematocrit was 40.7,
and platelets were 265. Differential with 86% neutrophils,
4% bands, 6% lymphocytes. Sodium was 139, potassium was 3.9,
chloride was 106, bicarbonate was 25, blood urea nitrogen was
20, creatinine was 1.3, and blood glucose was 82. Lithium
level was 5.5.
PERTINENT RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: Electrocardiogram revealed
sinus tachycardia.
HOSPITAL COURSE: This is a 38-year-old gentleman with acute
lithium intoxication secondary to a suicide attempt. The
patient was admitted for close observation, placed on
telemetry, and lithium levels were checked every two to three
hours.
On presentation, the patient received emergent hemodialysis
with a resultant lithium level of 1.2. On a follow-up
lithium check, it had elevated to approximately 1.5. Due to
concern of a fluid shift, the patient received hemodialysis
for a second time. The dialysis courses were approximately
six hours a piece. The patient was also continued on half
normal saline of approximately 4 liters to increase urine
output. Goal urine output was 2 cc/kg per hour. The patient
was also continued on GoLYTELY.
There was concern for diabetes insipidus due to lithium.
Osmolalities were checked. First was in the 400s and the
second was in the 500s; thus, this concern was put to rest.
A urine toxicology screen was also sent which was negative.
Due to the suicide attempt, the patient was put on a
one-to-one sitter while an inpatient. Due to a concern of
Haldol interactions, this was not used.
Since the patient did well status post dialysis with lithium
levels returning to a therapeutic range, and symptoms of
confusion and gastrointestinal toxicity had resolved, the
patient was transferred to the floor where he continued to be
monitored for another 24 hours.
The patient continued to improve symptomatically. His
lithium level continued to decrease at 0.7. Thus, the
patient was medically cleared for discharge to a psychiatric
facility for treatment of his bipolar disorder, depression,
and suicide attempt.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE: The patient was discharged on only
docusate 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. and Protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was stable
and improved.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Discharge status was to inpatient
psychiatry facility.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Lithium overdose.
2. Suicide attempt.
3. Depression.
4. Bipolar disorder.

Admission Date: [**2142-11-5**] Discharge Date:
Date of Birth: [**2066-5-2**] Sex: M
Service: CCU
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Status post ethanol ablation for
hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 76 year old
white male with a history of a heart murmur since he was a
child. In [**2142-9-29**] he felt chest pain during the
night. He went to [**Hospital 11252**] Hospital in [**Location (un) 3844**] in the
morning. Echocardiogram at that time revealed left
ventricular hypertrophy, increased velocity across the left
ventricle, aortic valve gradient of 45 mmHg, 92 mmHg with
Valsalva and after exercise, 266 mmHg. The patient was
discharged to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] at [**Hospital1 188**] and discharged from [**Location (un) 11252**]. Since that time he has
been asymptomatic. He is normally quite active, plays
tennis. He reports lightheadedness after exertion every one
to two months, dyspnea on exertion after climbing stairs and
palpitations at rest occasionally. He denies chest pain,
diaphoresis, PND, orthopnea or swelling of the extremities.
At [**Hospital1 69**] during
precatheterization he received hydration and his initial left
ventricular outflow tract gradient was 30 to 40. It
increased to 100 mm during the procedure and two septal
arteries were injected and subsequent left ventricular
outflow tract gradient was 0 mmHg. After the procedure he
was admitted to the CCU. He had no complaints at that time.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Hypertension. Hypercholesterolemia.
Hypothyroidism. Peptic ulcer disease. Status post right
herniorrhaphy.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Verapamil 180 mg every morning,
Ecotrin 81 mg q.day, Zocor 40 mg q.day, Synthroid 0.075 mg
q.day, cimetidine 400 mg q.day.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: No history of tobacco use. Drinks an
occasional glass of wine.
FAMILY HISTORY: Significant for father who died naturally,
but who also had an "enlarged heart."
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission blood pressure was
163/78, pulse 68, respirations 16, height 173 cm, weight
73 kg. Physical exam was remarkable for a healthy appearing
76 year old man. JVP 5 to 6 cm of water, no carotid bruits,
normal S1, S2, 3/6 systolic ejection murmur at the apex and
base without radiation to the carotids. Exam of the
extremities was remarkable for a left catheterization site
with slight blood, without hematoma or bruit, right
catheterization site pressure bandage in place. Left
dorsalis pedis pulse was [**2-1**], right obtainable only with
Doppler. There was no clubbing or cyanosis of the
extremities. Neurologically all cranial nerves were intact.
Muscle strength was [**6-2**] bilateral upper and lower
extremities.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission hemoglobin was 14.8,
hematocrit 44.2, white blood cell count 5, platelets 181.
Chem-7 was sodium 138, potassium 4, chloride 104, bicarb 30,
BUN 20, creatinine 1.5, glucose 94. INR was 1.0.
Angiography at the time of the procedure revealed normal left
main, left anterior descending and left circumflex, 30%
ostial right coronary artery. EKG at the time of admission
to the CCU showed normal sinus rhythm, possible right bundle
branch morphology, left axis -40 degrees, inferior and
lateral ST changes. Inferior myocardial infarction could not
be ruled out. Creatine phosphokinase level was 33. On
[**11-6**] creatine phosphokinase level was 833.
HOSPITAL COURSE: On [**11-6**] at approximately 12:30 p.m.
the patient noted some left groin pressure. A left hematoma
was noted approximately 2 x 2 cm. Pressure was applied for
1 1/2 hours by the cardiology Fellow and nurse. The patient
was sent to ultrasound where a pseudoaneurysm was not found
in the left groin. The patient's hematocrit was stable at
35.2% the following day. On the afternoon of [**11-7**] his
temporary pacemaker was removed and he was transferred to the
floor, Fahr 3, at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. Creatine kinase
on [**11-7**] was 363. On [**11-8**] the patient complained
of mild nasal congestion. He had no events on telemetry.
Creatine phosphokinase was 126. Hematocrit was 33.5%. After
discussion with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], the patient was deemed eligible
for discharge. He was stable at discharge.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy status post
ethanol ablation.

Admission Date: [**2196-4-16**] Discharge Date: [**2196-4-17**]
Date of Birth: [**2128-12-7**] Sex: M
Service: MICU-ORANG
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 42101**] is a 67 year old male
originally from [**Country 2045**] and French Creole speaking who has a
past medical history significant for diabetes mellitus on
oral hypoglycemics as well as prostate cancer, who presents
with left hip pain. He was transferred to the [**Hospital1 346**] from [**Hospital3 17310**],
where he presented complaining of left hip pain as well as
generalized confusion and weakness. The patient was living
in [**Country 2045**] until approximately two weeks prior to admission.
Approximately one week prior to admission, he began
experiencing left hip pain and went to [**Hospital 8**] Hospital.
At that time, a CBC and Chem-7 was drawn and the Chem-7 was
within the normal range for all of his electrolytes as well
as his renal function. Results of the CBC are not known at
the time of this dictation.
At [**Hospital 8**] Hospital, he was advised to take NSAIDS and to
rest the hip. No Microbiology data was obtained at [**Hospital 8**]
Hospital. Two days prior to admission, the patient's
daughter noted that the patient was becoming increasingly
confused. On the morning of admission, the patient fell in
his bathtub and was reportedly increasingly confused. He was
sent to the [**Hospital1 **] [**Hospital1 **] where to concern for an
abdominal aortic aneurysm was raised, which prompted the
patient to be transferred to the [**Hospital1 190**]. The concerns for the abdominal aortic
aneurysm stem from patient complaining of abdominal as well
as back pain.
When he arrived in the Emergency Department at the [**Hospital1 1444**], he was found to have a
lactic acidosis, a right hip myositis as well as a right
septic hip, as well as acute renal failure and hyperglycemia.
In the Emergency Department, the hip was aspirated, the
patient was intubated, a Swan-Ganz catheter was placed and
the patient became hypotensive to a blood pressure of 80/60,
therefore, Levophed was started. A more detailed summary of
the patient's laboratory data prior to arrival to the [**Hospital1 1444**] is as follows:
A [**Hospital1 **] [**Hospital1 **], the patient was noted to have a white
blood cell count of 5.3, a hematocrit of 39.3, platelet count
of 406. Differential on the white count was 82% polys, 15%
lymphs, 4% monos. Chem-7 was sodium of 139, potassium 4.2,
chloride 97, bicarbonate 7, BUN 61, creatinine 3.8, glucose
508, calcium 9.6, albumin 2.5, total protein 5.8, total
bilirubin 0.8, alkaline phosphatase 202. ALT 55, AST 120, CK
4710.
An arterial blood gas was 7.18, 26, 236. Urinalysis had
greater than 1000 mg of glucose, trace ketones. Again, this
is data that was obtained at the [**Hospital **] [**Hospital3 2063**].
As mentioned, the patient then arrived at the [**Hospital1 346**] where he had an aspiration of his
hip. He also had a CT scan of his abdomen and pelvis which
showed gas and fluid in the right hip, fat stranding around
the right gluteus, diffuse edema around the right hip
extending into the pelvis and leg muscle compartments. These
findings were reported to be consistent with a right hip
infection with surrounding myositis. Also, gas attenuation
in the spinal canal was seen, which raised the question of an
abscess. The patient, in the Emergency Department, had a CT
scan of his head in the setting of increasing confusion to
the point of being unresponsive. The CT scan of his head was
normal.
The fluid from the hip was sent to the Microbiology
laboratory for Gram stain and culture.
Meanwhile, as mentioned, the patient became hypotensive in
the Emergency Department and was started on Levophed. He was
also intubated and a Swan-Ganz catheter was placed, and a
nasogastric tube was placed. The patient was originally then
admitted to the Surgical Team and went to the Surgical
Intensive Care Unit, however, after approximately one hour in
the Surgical Intensive Care Unit it was determined that owing
to the complexity of his medical condition, he warranted
transfer to the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Diabetes mellitus.
2. Prostate cancer status post prostate resection three
years ago.
3. Gunshot wound ten years ago with a bullet still
indwelling at the level of S1.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Prilosec.
2. Glyburide.
SOCIAL HISTORY: As mentioned, the patient is originally from
[**Country 2045**]. He arrived in this country two weeks ago to visit his
family. He does not speak English; he speaks French Creole.
His daughter lives in [**Name (NI) **], [**State 350**].
FAMILY HISTORY: Not obtained.
After the patient was transferred to the Medical Intensive
Care Unit, it was noted that the patient was not responsive
to painful stimuli, in fact, he was intubated on Levophed
with the Propofol drip turned off and still remained
unresponsive. His pupils were normal in size but not
reactive to light. Details of his physical examination are
as follows:
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Temperature 99.1 F.; heart rate 89;
blood pressure 94/34; in the Emergency Department he was 99.1
F., with a heart rate of 130 and a blood pressure of 90/100.
In general, he was intubated and unresponsive. HEENT
examination: Pupils were equal; they were not dilated; they
were not reactive to light. There was a bluish opalescent
haziness over both pupils, which raised the possibility of
cataract disease bilaterally. There was a right Swan-Ganz
catheter in place. Cardiac examination reveals that he was
tachycardic, II/VI systolic ejection murmur which sounded
like a flow murmur heard at the left upper sternal border.
Respiratory examination: He was clear to auscultation
bilaterally in the anterior fields. Abdomen was distended.
Bowel sounds were not heard. The abdomen was soft.
Extremities revealed a right thigh that was twice the size of
the left thigh. The right thigh was tense, extending into
the mid-pelvis as well as down to the knee. His right
dorsalis pedis pulse was diminished. There was no left lower
extremity edema. The skin was intact. Neurologic
examination: He was, as mentioned, unresponsive, with the
exception of occasional muscle twitching in the left lower
extremity.
LABORATORY: Data obtained in the Emergency Department at
06:00 p.m. on the day of his admission includes a white count
of 3.1, hematocrit of 34.4, platelet count of 278. Sodium
143, potassium 3.7, chloride 108, bicarbonate 13, BUN 60,
creatinine 3.3, glucose 270. Calcium 8.1, magnesium 2.7,
phosphate 5.6. Differential on the white count included 46%
polys, 28% bands, 2% lymphs and 16% monos.
ALT 56, AST 137, total bilirubin 0.7, alkaline phosphatase
152, amylase 24, lipase 14, troponin less than 0.3. CK 5149
with MB index of 1.7, lactate 10.8.
Arterial blood gas was 7.21, 30, 305. Serum tox screen was
negative. Urinalysis was greater than 300 protein, 100
glucose, trace ketones, leukocyte esterase and nitrite
negative, [**12-27**] red cells and [**1-26**] white cells.
The patient, as mentioned, had 2 cc of turbid fluid aspirated
from the right hip in the Emergency Department. The patient
also received three units of fresh frozen plasma prior to the
procedure and one unit fresh frozen plasma following the
procedure.
Of note, the patient also had an abdominal ultrasound done in
the Emergency Department which showed no evidence of
abdominal aortic aneurysm. A chest film done in the
Emergency Department showed no evidence of pleural fusion, no
pneumothorax and a right IJ line located in the right atrium.
As mentioned, a head CT scan showed no hemorrhage and no
midline shift, and as mentioned, a CT scan of the abdomen was
in particular notable for fluid and gas in the right hip
joint extending into the anterior compartment as well as into
the pelvic tissues displacing the Foley catheter to the left.
On arrival to the Intensive Care Unit, there was significant
concern about the patient;s right lower extremity, given the
fact that it was twice the size of the left lower extremity
and that it was very tense; also, given the patient's
clinical picture of florid sepsis. Therefore, the Orthopedic
Team was consulted regarding testing for compartment
syndrome. This was done at approximately 3 a.m. at which
time the Orthopedic fellow was called in from home to the
hospital to do compartment testing.
The anterior and posterior compartments demonstrated normal
pressures, however, the right gluteal compartment had a
pressure of 42, which was felt to be consistent with a
compartment syndrome.
The patient was then taken to the Operating Room for a
fasciotomy and for further investigation of a compartment
syndrome as well as for obtaining tissue and fluid for
analysis.
HOSPITAL COURSE: At this time, I will continue to talk about
the [**Hospital 228**] hospital course by issue:
1. Infectious Disease: As mentioned, the concern was for a
compartment syndrome as evidenced by elevated compartment
pressures in the right gluteal area. The patient was taken
to the Operating Room where tissue and fluid were obtained.
The patient initially received Flagyl, Ceftriaxone and
Vancomycin in the Emergency Department. These were then
switched to Clindamycin, Zosyn and Vancomycin when the
patient was admitted to the Surgical Team. This antibiotic
coverage was continued overnight while pending further
Microbiology data. The tissue and joint fluid Gram stains
came back with four plus Gram positive cocci as well as four
plus polys. This Microbiology data is what prompted surgical
intervention.
The patient was then continued on the Clindamycin, Zosyn and
Vancomycin until consultation with Infectious Disease
occurred on the [**2196-4-17**]. At this time, the
microbiology data revealed moderate growth of Group A strep
from the joint fluid as well as from the tissue, prompting
the change in antibiotics to penicillin 4,000,000 Units
intravenously q. four hours, discontinuation of the Zosyn and
continuation of the Clindamycin and Vancomycin. Overall, the
patient then was being treated for both a septic right hip as
well as for a necrotizing myositis including the right
gluteal area and extending all the way down the patient's
right thigh.
The patient's original white count from the initial labs at
this institution included a white count of 3.1 with 28%
bands. Repeat labs showed a white count that fell to 1.2.
Serial laboratory data included a white count that eventually
did increase up to 5.9 at 9 p.m. on [**4-17**].
There is one outstanding Infectious Disease issue on this
patient and that is his HIV status. The family was contact[**Name (NI) **]
and gave consent for HIV testing. At the time to his
dictation, HIV results are still pending.
2. Cardiovascular: The patient was noted to be, as
mentioned, hypertensive in the Emergency Department and was
started on Levophed. When he arrived in the Medical
Intensive Care Unit, his blood pressure remained stable but
low with systolic blood pressures in the low 90s. Throughout
the day on the [**4-17**], the patient became more
hypotensive and required addition of Vasopressin as well as
increasing doses of Levophed. Towards the end of the day on
[**2196-4-17**], Dopamine was added as a third pressor. The
Dopamine was added in the setting of the patient going into a
cardiac arrest.
His hypotension requiring pressors was obviously a
consequence of the patient being in florid sepsis. A
Swan-Ganz catheter was in place for CVP monitoring.
3. Sepsis: As mentioned, the patient was in florid sepsis,
requiring two pressors. The patient was felt to meet the
inclusion criteria for activated protein-C and at 1 p.m. on
[**2196-4-17**], the patient was started on activated protein-C.
He was also treated with aggressive fluid resuscitation as
well as with high dose steroids.
4. Neurologic: As mentioned, the patient was unresponsive
in the setting of being intubated as well as on pressors. At
the time that his compartment testing was done, the patient
was on no sedation whatsoever and was not responsive at all
to the procedure of testing his compartment. Similarly, when
he was taken to the Operating Room for a fasciotomy in the
gluteal area, he required only a small amount of morphine and
was not given any other medication for sedation owing to his
status of being essentially obtunded.
There was a question of an epidural abscess that was raised
based on the CT scan finding of gas seen in the spinal canal
on the CT scan on [**4-16**]. A follow-up MRI was done on [**4-17**],
at 7 a.m. The MRI of the head showed no abnormalities and no
mass effect and no focal signal abnormality.
MRI of the spine showed abnormal soft tissue posterior to L5
and S1, suspicious for epidural inflammation. There was also
enhancement along the cord and cauda equina suggestive of
inflammation. There were multi-level degenerative changes.
There was no cord compression and there was no signal
abnormality in the cord.
Neurosurgery was consulted and was following the case with
the Medical Intensive Care Unit team. They had initially
planned to perform a laminectomy for the question of an
epidural abscess, however, owing to the patient's significant
comorbidities, it was their decision to hold off on the
laminectomy and to just cover the patient with antibiotics.
At the time of this dictation, it is not known whether or not
the patient did definitively have an epidural abscess,
however, as mentioned, given his significant comorbidities,
it was felt that it was not in the patient's best interest to
do an invasive procedure for treatment of a possible epidural
abscess at this time.
5. Respiratory failure: The patient was intubated in the
Emergency Department. He was put on the assist control mode
of ventilation. He was initially put on 600 by 15 with an
FIO2 of 40%. This was then increased to a total volume of
800 by 18 with FIO2 of 40%, and the total volume was
continued to be increased as the patient's blood gases
revealed continued significant acidosis with the inability to
decrease his carbon dioxide accordingly. A summary of his
arterial blood gas data will be included under the patient's
acid status during his hospital course.
6. Hematologic: The patient received a significant number
of blood products during his hospital stay, including packed
red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma. The patient
received a total of 5 units of packed red blood cells and a
total of 14 bags of fresh frozen plasma. The fresh frozen
plasma was given before and after any procedure that the
patient had. It was given before and after the patient had
his right knee tapped in the Emergency Department as well as
prior to the fasciotomy prior to his right knee being tapped
by Orthopedics on [**4-17**], and it was also given prior to
planned placement for a catheter for dialysis, however, this
last intervention actually never occurred and the patient
never received hemodialysis.
The patient was noted to be in rapidly progressing DIC. His
initial platelet count in this institution was 278 at 6 p.m.
on [**4-16**]. His platelet count then progressively decreased
quite rapidly. At 1 a.m. on [**4-17**], his platelet count was
94, at 2 a.m. 86, at 11 a.m. on [**4-17**] it was 72, 2 p.m. it
was 57, 5 p.m. 42 and at 9 p.m. his platelet count had
dropped to 40. As well, his INR continued to climb from
initially 1.9 to 2.1 and ultimately to 2.6 and then 2.8 at 9
p.m. on [**4-17**]. The patient did receive one dose of Vitamin K
5 mg but was otherwise supported with packed red blood cells,
fresh frozen plasma as well as platelets.
7. Renal: The patient was noted to be in acute renal
failure secondary to both sepsis as well as myoglobinuria.
The patient was noted to have a urinalysis which was positive
for blood, but negative for red cells. The patient was put
on a sodium bicarbonate drip, 3 ampules in one liter of D5W
and this was infused at a rate of 250 cc per hour. In
addition, he was given additional doses of bicarbonate in the
setting of severe acidosis. The bicarbonate was given in an
effort to alkalinize his urine in the setting of
myoglobinuria.
The Renal Team was consulted at approximately 9 p.m. on
[**4-17**], and there was a plan for the patient to have a
catheter placed and for hemodialysis to begin, however, the
patient went into a cardiac arrest and expired prior to
receiving hemodialysis.
8. Fluids, Electrolytes and Nutrition: The patient was
noted to have some profound metabolic abnormalities, in
particular, hypocalcemia and hyperkalemia. The patient, as
mentioned, was put on a bicarb drip. He was also repleted
with calcium; 3 grams were given at 2 a.m. on [**4-17**] and then
repeated later in the day on [**4-17**]. The patient was given
insulin for his hyperkalemia. He was given a continuous
infusion of insulin plus D50. In addition, the patient was
given Kayexalate. All of these were done in an effort to
bring his potassium down. His hyperkalemia was in the
setting of acute renal failure. His hypocalcemia was in the
setting of sepsis and muscle necrosis. It should be noted
that his calcium levels were as follows: His calcium on
[**4-16**] at 6 p.m. was 8.1; at 1 a.m. it had dropped to 5.9; at
2 a.m. on [**4-17**], ionized calcium was 0.92; at 11 a.m., his
calcium was 5.6 with an ionized calcium of 0.99. At 2 p.m.
his calcium was 6.8, at 5 p.m. his calcium was 6.1 with an
ionized calcium of 0.91 and at 9 p.m. his calcium was 8.2.
9. Acid-Base: Finally, the last issue and most complex
issue on this critically ill patient was his acid-base status
during his hospital stay. As mentioned, the patient was
originally admitted and noted to have a significant metabolic
acidosis with an arterial blood gas of 7.21, 30 and 305; this
was in the Emergency Department. At that time, an acetone
level was checked and it was negative. This was felt to be a
primarily metabolic acidosis. When he arrived in the
Intensive Care Unit, an arterial blood gas was done which was
7.19, 29 and 287. The patient's metabolic acidosis persisted
with pH ranging from 7.13 to 7.21. At 2 a.m. his arterial
blood gas was 7.13, 34, and 383, at which time his
ventilation settings were changed to give him a larger total
volume with the aim of trying to decrease his CO2. Repeat
arterial blood gas was 7.17, 22 and 158. The goal was to
give the patient bicarbonate to try both to treat his renal
failure caused by both sepsis and myoglobinuria, as well as
to treat his lactic acidosis.
In an effort to treat his acid-based abnormalities, the
patient received continuos bicarbonate drip as well as
several occasions on which bicarbonate was pushed with an
effort to more rapidly correct his metabolic abnormalities.
The patient had a total of six ampules of calcium gluconate
pushed as well as a total of three ampules of sodium
bicarbonate pushed, however, sodium bicarbonate was also
pushed during the patient's cardiac arrest.
At approximately 9 p.m., the patient went into cardiac arrest
and a Code was called. Sinus rhythm was obtained on the
patient, however, at 10:31 p.m. the patient went into cardiac
arrest the second time and he was unable to be resuscitated.
Time of death was therefore 10:31 p.m. on [**2196-4-17**].
The laboratory data available at that time closest to his
death revealed a white count of 5.9, hematocrit of 18.2,
platelet count of 40. Chem-7 including a sodium of 150,
potassium of 6.4, chloride of 113, bicarbonate of 8, BUN of
5.2, creatinine of 2.8, glucose of 254. PT 20.1, PTT 140.9,
INR of 2.8. CK of 6766, calcium 8.2, phosphate of 4.8,
magnesium of 2.1.
At the time of this dictation, additional data that is
available includes joint fluid from his knee which had been
aspirated on [**4-17**], by the Orthopedic surgeons. The joint
fluid grew out Gram positive cocci in pairs and chains, which
was found to be Group A strep. A tissue culture from [**4-17**],
of the right gluteal area showed Group A Streptococcus as
well as four plus Gram positive cocci. Fluid from his hip on
[**4-17**], also showed heavy growth of Group A Streptococcus.
His blood culture data has no growth so far and his urine
culture was negative.
To put this very complicated case together, then, in summary,
it is a 67 year old male from [**Country 2045**], who presented
approximately two weeks ago to an outside hospital
complaining of left hip pain at which time he was treated
with NSAIDS. The patient then, a week prior to admission,
got progressively worse. On the day of admission to this
hospital, was first seen at an outside hospital complaining
of abdominal and back pain. A suspicion was raised of an
abdominal aortic aneurysm and he was transferred to the [**Hospital1 1444**] Emergency Room at which time
an abdominal ultrasound was negative for abdominal aortic
aneurysm and it was found that the patient had both a septic
right hip as well as a significant myositis including his
right gluteal region and much of his right thigh, extending
down towards his right knee.
The patient was then intubated in the Emergency Department
and started on Levophed. He was then transferred to the
Surgery Team for a brief time, after which time he was
transferred to the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
In the evening of his admission to the Intensive Care Unit,
he had compartment testing done which showed elevated
pressures in the right gluteal compartment. He then had a
fasciotomy done in the Operating Room. When he came back out
of the Operating Room approximately two hours later, it was
noted that his right lower extremity was continuing to swell
significantly. He also developed whole body anasarca
including significant scrotal and penile edema as well as
rapidly increasing right lower extremity edema.
A bedside incision was made by the Surgical Chief Resident
with an aim of draining and relieving the pressure inside the
right thigh. This wound was packed and left open for further
drainage. The patient was then started on activated
protein-C and his right knee was tapped by the Orthopedic
surgeon.
Meanwhile, the Neurosurgeons were following along with us for
a question of an epidural abscess. No interventional
procedure was done to further investigate the epidural
abscess, given to how critically ill the patient was. The
patient was increased on his Levophed and started on
Vasopressin and throughout the day on the [**4-17**], he
continued to get progressively worse. His antibiotic
coverage was changed to penicillin in consultation with the
Infectious Disease team and when preliminary culture data
came back, he was also continued on Clindamycin and
Vancomycin. Prior to that time, he had been on Clindamycin,
Zosyn and Vancomycin.
The patient, throughout the day, had profound electrolyte
abnormalities most notably remained severely acidotic with a
lactic acidosis as well as with significant hyperkalemia and
hypocalcemia despite aggressive volume resuscitation as well
as aggressive attempts at correcting his hypocalcemia and
hyperkalemia. The patient went into cardiac arrest. After
the first code was called, the patient was able to be
resuscitated. However, shortly thereafter, a second code was
called and the patient was unable to be resuscitated.
The patient ultimately died on [**2196-4-17**], at 10:31 p.m.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Expired.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Septic right hip.
2. Streptococcal pyrogens myositis in the right lower
extremity.
3. Sepsis.
4. Lactic acidosis.
5. Hypotension.
6. Respiratory failure.
7. DIC.
8. Hypocalcemia.
9. Hyperkalemia.
10. Acute renal failure.
11. Question of an epidural abscess.
DISPOSITION: The patient's family were made aware of the
patient's grave condition from his initial admission to the
hospital. They did come to the hospital and were informed of
the patient's status and they were informed at the time of
his death.
The patient's family did consent to an autopsy. The results
of that autopsy are pending at the time of this dictation.
The attending covering for the attending physician during
this patient's hospitalization was Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 575**], who was
made aware of the patient's death.

[**2-23**]. Received a full course of betamethasone at
approximately 24 weeks. Progressive labor with cervical
change prompted C section delivery under combined spinal
epidural anesthesia. Rupture of membranes at delivery.
Infant was born with poor tone, decreased respiratory effort
and heart rate less than 100, required stimulation, positive
pressure ventilation, and suctioning. Apgars were 4 and 8.

abdomen. Three-vessel cord, no hepatosplenomegaly, normal
male, testes in upper scrotum. Patent anus, no hip click,
Mongolian spot on buttocks, normal tone.
HISTORY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
Respiratory: The patient was admitted to the Newborn
Intensive Care Unit. He was noted to have increased work of
breathing and decision was made to intubate infant. He
received a total of one dose of Surfactant. He was weaned to
CPAP and trialed off CPAP within the first 24 hours of life.
He has remained in room air since day of life one.
He never received methylxanthine treatment, but did have mild
apnea and bradycardia of prematurity. Last documented
apneic/bradycardic spell was on [**2152-5-8**].
Cardiovascular: Infant was noted to have a murmur. An
echocardiogram was performed on [**4-20**], and it demonstrated a
moderate patent ductus arteriosus. Infant received one
course of indomethacin treatment. Repeat echocardiogram on
[**4-24**] demonstrated no PDA, but had a PFO with left-to-
right flow.
Infant does have an audible murmur at this time thought to be
consistent with flow murmur versus peripheral pulmonic
stenosis (PPS). The murmur should be followed and a
cardiology consult should be considered if there is a change
in the quality of the murmur or in his clinical course. He
has been otherwise cardiovascularly stable.
Fluid and electrolytes: Birth weight was 1330 grams.
Discharge weight is 2325 gms. Infant was initially started
on 80 cc/kg/day of D10W. Parenteral nutrition was initiated
within the first 24 hours of life. Infant started Enteral
feedings on day of life number six, advanced to full enteral
feedings by day of life number 10, and is currently ad lib
feeding breast milk 24 calories concentrated with Enfamil
powder taking in excess of 150 cc/kg/day.
GI/GU: His peak bilirubin was on day of life number three of
13.3/0.3. He was treated with phototherapy for a total of
five days. Phototherapy was discontinued and rebound
bilirubin was 4.4/0.3 on [**2152-4-26**].
Infant was noted to have a right inguinal hernia on day of

DIAGNOSIS: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, liver
mass x 2, probable hepatocellular carcinoma.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 48-year-old
male who during laparoscopy for planned gastric bypass was
noted to have cirrhosis. A liver biopsy was taken. It
demonstrated established cirrhosis and steatohepatitis. A
mass lesion on the inferior margin of the liver was seen but
not biopsied. Mass measures 3.5 x 4 cm. Also of note,
elevated alpha fetoprotein of 135. CT of abdomen on [**6-16**]
demonstrated a 4.3 x 2.9 exophytic mass within segment V of
the liver which enhances slightly compared to the rest of the
liver. Also within segment V and to the right of the
gallbladder there is a patchy area of arterial-phase
enhancement measuring approximately 2 cm x 1.9 cm. The
patient underwent an MRI of the abdomen on [**2133-7-15**]
demonstrating a large exophytic lesion, 2 lesions adjacent to
the gallbladder, and a 4th lesion in the posterior right lobe
of the liver. The other 3 lesions are indeterminate but do
appear to be slightly hypervascular. The patient was seen by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] for hepatic resection of the exophytic lesion.

abdomen is obese. Normal bowel sounds. No hepatomegaly. No
masses or tenderness. Extremities reveal no peripheral edema.
RADIOLOGIC AND OTHER STUDIES: A preoperative EKG was
performed demonstrating a sinus rhythm, rate of 84, normal
EKG.
A recent chest x-ray on [**2133-7-2**] demonstrated a slightly
asymmetrical opacity at the left 1st costochondral junction
level, likely due to asymmetric degenerative changes at the
site. No pleural effusions.
Another preoperative chest x-ray was obtained, an apical
lordotic, demonstrating a dense nodular density in the left
upper lobe which measured 2.3 x 2 cm in dimension. No
evidence of pleural effusion. The heart is not enlarged.
PREOPERATIVE LABORATORY DATA: Included a WBC of 5.50, a
hematocrit of 38.8, a PT of 15.0, platelets of 122, PTT of
33.0, fibrinogen of 235. Sodium of 142, potassium of 4.5,
chloride of 103, bicarbonate of 18, BUN of 11, creatinine of
0.8. ALT of 118, AST of 158, alkaline phosphatase of 59,
amylase of 46, total bilirubin of 2.1, with a lipase of 25.
HOSPITAL COURSE: On [**2133-7-24**] the patient was operated
on by Drs. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and [**Name5 (PTitle) **] assistant [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 3825**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 3826**].
The patient had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic
intraoperative ultrasound, attempted laparoscopic segment V
resection converted to open segment V mass resection adjacent
to gallbladder. Please see the operative note for more
details; described by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **].
The patient was transferred to the ICU. While in the ICU the
patient had intraoperative bleeding converted to open.
Systolic blood pressures in the 50s. Placed on Neo-
Synephrine. The patient had an acidosis trough. The patient
had a lactate peak of 13.8. Estimated blood loss of 8500;
received 13 units of packed red blood cells, 9 units of FFP,
3 units of platelets, 3 units of cryogen, 1 liter of
crystalloid, with a urine output of 900 cc. The patient was
intubated while in the ICU overnight. The patient was weaned
off his vent and was extubated on [**2133-7-26**].
Labs on the 24th revealed a WBC of 11.4, hematocrit of 31.1,
platelets of 70. PT of 14.6, PTT of 32.9, INR of 1.4. Sodium
of 139, potassium of 4.2, chloride of 108, bicarbonate of 25,
BUN of 11, creatinine of 2.6, with a glucose of 181. Also on
[**2133-7-26**] ALT of 325, AST of 385, alkaline phosphatase of
79, amylase of 46, total bilirubin of 1.7.
On [**2133-7-26**] the patient was transferred to the floor. On
postoperative day 5, the patient's Foley was removed, IV was
hep-locked, diet was advanced. On the back of his neck he
did have a severe abrasion, believed due to positioning in
the OR which had been treated with DuoDerm gel applied daily.
Physical therapy and occupational therapy were consulted. The
patient had a temperature on postoperative day 6 of 101.3;
was cultured. Currently, all the blood cultures are pending.
The patient had an IJ in place which was removed and sent for
culture. The patient's pathology from the wedge resection
demonstrated HCC with margins, which means that patient needs
to have a liver transplant - which was discussed with him by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. On postoperative day 7, the patient was doing
well. No events overnight, afebrile, vital signs stable. The
patient's neck was still irritated but not putting pressure
on the area. I's and O's good. Cultures are pending.
Labs on the 28th are as follows. WBC of 10.5, hematocrit of
34.0, platelets of 113. Sodium of 133, potassium of 3.4
(which was replaced with 40 mEq of K), chloride of 99,
bicarbonate of 27, BUN of 15, creatinine of 0.8, glucose of
106. ALT of 87, AST of 64, albumin of 2.4, AFP of 19.6. Since
the patient is a pre transplant candidate, multiple pre
transplant labs were sent; including HBsAg, HBsAb, HBcAb, HIV-
AB IgM-HIV AFP which we know the results, which is 19.6, and
HCV AB pending. HIV also pending. The patient is going to
have a TTE this afternoon and then the patient can go home.
Wound care nurse did see the patient for his wound and felt
that the patient should have VNA and have DuoDerm gel applied
daily with a dry gauze applied on top of that without any
pressure to the neck.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: The patient is going to go home today
(on [**2133-7-30**]).
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE: Tylenol 325/650 p.o. q.4-6h.
p.r.n.; glipizide 5 mg daily; hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg
daily; Dilaudid 2 mg q.3h. p.r.n.; insulin sliding scale;
lisinopril 20 mg daily; metformin 1000 mg daily; Reglan 10 mg
q.6h. p.r.n.; nifedipine CR 30 mg daily; Protonix 40 mg q.24.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: The patient is to call the
transplant team at ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 62221**] immediately if any fevers,
chills, nausea, vomiting, increased jaundice, excessive
dizziness, any changes in his abdominal incision (including
redness/discharge); and the VNA nurse or staff should let
transplant team know immediately if there is any change in
color of the neck wound/any discharge from the neck wound
immediately. The patient has a JP drain that the patient is
going to be going home with that needs to be emptied every 3
to 4 hours. The record of the amount and color of drainage
needs to be brought to his next appointment so that someone
from the transplant team can see the record.
DISCHARGE FOLLOWUP: The patient needs to follow up with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **]. Please call ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 3618**] for an appointment and also
will probably need an appointment with one of the liver
transplant coordinators. Also, they should be contacting you
to make an appointment. The patient also needs to have an
endoscopy and colonoscopy as an outpatient as part of the pre
transplant workup. When the patient does come for a follow-up
appointment, someone from the transplant team needs to see
his neck wound to make sure that it is healing.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Multiple liver masses; pathology
demonstrates hepatocellular carcinoma with margins.

Brief Hospital Course:
A cardiac catheterization was performed on [**2163-3-11**] which
demonstrated two vessel coronary artery disease. On [**2163-3-11**]
carotids were performed and revealed less than 40% stenosis on
the right and 70-79% on the left. Dental clearance was
obtained. He was seen by podiatry for right 2nd digit pain and
an abscess was drained at bedside. He was seen by speech and
swallow and found to have mild dysphagia. He was seen by wound
care for a right lower leg ulcer which has been healing poorly.
Adaptic was recommended to be placed on the wound. He was
placed on Kefzol for thrombophlebitis on his right upper
extremity. On [**2163-3-16**] Mr. [**Known lastname 43400**] [**Last Name (Titles) 1834**] a coronary artery
bypass grafting times two and an aortic valve replacement with a
27mm [**Company 1543**] Mosaic Porcine valve. He tolerated the procedure
well and was transferred in critical but stable condition to the
surgical intensive care unit.
Mr. [**Known lastname 43400**] was weaned from the ventilator and extubated without
difficulty. His pacing wires were removed on POD#2 since he has
his own internal pacer.
He was transferred from the ICU to the floor on POD#2. He was
started on coumadin for baseline atrial fibrillation which he
was in prior to surgery and betablocker and diuretics. His
platelet count was noted to be steadily declining. His
medications were reviewed and zantac d/c'd. A HIT panel was
negative. His chest tubes were removed on POD#3. Hematocrit and
platelets are recovering. Mr. [**Known lastname 43400**] was evaluated by physical
therapy and rehab was recomended. The patient was found stable
for discharge to rehab on POD 5.

was 1193. Vitals on presentation revealed hypothermia, BP 94/65
RR 16 O2 sat was 100% (unclear in documentation on what
settings). Bear hugger was applied and he was started on Bipap.
Blood cultures were sent and he received vanco, ceftaz and
flagyl x1. He received 3L IVF for persistent hypotension into
70s systolic to which his BP only transiently responded.
Discussion was had with his family by the ED staff and although
he is DNR/DNI, pressors are exceptable although they do not want
central line placement. Thus, he was started on levophed and
was transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for further management.
.
During his most recent hospitalization [**Date range (1) 52345**], He was treated
with unasyn for aspiration pneumonia. He was discharged on
augmentin to complete the course on [**12-9**]. Given his probable
aspiration pneumonia, he was evaluated by speech and swallow at
the bedside who recommended pureed solids and nectar thick
liquids. He was also started on flagyl for C. diff colitis
which he is to complete on [**12-16**]. Additionally, pt. had
movements that were originally thought c/w seizure. Neurology
evaluated him and thought movements were likely dyskinesis from
Parkinson's. With the restarting of Parkinson's medication, he
became more responsive.

Findings
This study was compared to the prior study of [**2153-8-14**].
LEFT ATRIUM: Mild LA enlargement.
RIGHT ATRIUM/INTERATRIAL SEPTUM: Moderately dilated RA. A
catheter or pacing wire is seen in the RA and extending into the
RV.
LEFT VENTRICLE: Mild symmetric LVH. Moderately dilated LV
cavity. Suboptimal technical quality, a focal LV wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Severely depressed LVEF.
TDI E/e' >15, suggesting PCWP>18mmHg. Transmitral Doppler and
TVI c/w Grade III/IV (severe) LV diastolic dysfunction. No
resting LVOT gradient.
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Dilated RV cavity. RV function depressed.
AORTA: Normal aortic diameter at the sinus level. Mildly dilated
ascending aorta.
AORTIC VALVE: Bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis (AVR). Normal
AVR gradient. Trace AR. [The amount of AR is normal for this
AVR.]
MITRAL VALVE: Mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. Mild
mitral annular calcification. Mild thickening of mitral valve
chordae. Calcified tips of papillary muscles. Mild (1+) MR.
TRICUSPID VALVE: Tricuspid valve not well visualized. Mild [1+]
TR. Moderate PA systolic hypertension.
PULMONIC VALVE/PULMONARY ARTERY: Pulmonic valve not well seen.
PERICARDIUM: No pericardial effusion.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows.
Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The right atrium is
moderately dilated. There is mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated.
Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is severely depressed (LVEF= 20-25 %). Tissue
Doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling
pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Transmitral Doppler and tissue velocity
imaging are consistent with Grade III/IV (severe) LV diastolic
dysfunction. The right ventricular cavity is dilated. Right
ventricular systolic function appears depressed but images of
the RV are limited. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. A
bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The transaortic
gradient is normal for this prosthesis. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. [The amount of regurgitation present is
normal for this prosthetic aortic valve.] The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2153-8-14**],
overall left ventricular systolic function has declined further.
An AVR is now present with normal transvalvular gradients and
trivial aortic regurgitation. The severity of mitral and
tricuspid regurgitation has decreased. The other findings are
similar.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 6339**] was admitted to the cardiac surgical service and
underwent routine preoperative testing which included carotid
ultrasound, and echocardiogram - see result section. He remained
stable on intravenous Heparin. Workup was unremarkable and he
was cleared for surgery. On [**9-2**], Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
performed coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. For surgical
details, please see operative report. Following the operation,
he was brought to the CVICU for invasive monitoring. Within 24
hours, he awoke neurologically intact and was extubated without
incident. Low dose beta blockade, lasix, Plavix and Warfarin
were resumed. He maintained stable hemodynamics and transferred
to the SDU on postoperative day one. Physical therapy worked
with him on strength and mobility. He was ready for discharge
home with VNA and physical therapy post operative day 4.

[**2117-3-13**] Echocardiogram:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 0-5 mmHg. There is mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic
function (LVEF>55%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an
increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. There are complex (>4mm,
non-mobile) atheroma in the ascending aorta beginning at 4cm
above the aortic valve (clip #[**Clip Number (Radiology) **]). The aortic valve leaflets are
severely thickened/deformed. There is severe aortic valve
stenosis (area <0.8cm2). No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral
valve prolapse. Mild to moderate ([**12-25**]+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be
determined. There is no pericardial effusion.
[**2117-3-14**] Chest CT Scan:
1. Diffuse atherosclerotic calcifications as above. 2. Patchy
bilateral predominantly peribronchiolar nodules likely represent
chronic bronchiolitis from infection such as MAC or
hypersensitivity pneumonitis with likely reactive
lymphadenopathy. Imaging in three months can be obtained after
therapy as clinically indicated. 3. Compression fractures at L1
and L2 are of indeterminate age.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to the cardiac surgical service and
underwent routine preoperative evaluation. Given his critical
anatomy, intravenous Heparin was initiated. Workup included an
echocardiogram which confirmed severe aortic stenosis, and also
showed mild to moderate mitral regurgitation and normal left
ventricular function. Echocardiogram was also notable for a
dilated ascending aorta with plaque for which chest CT scan was
obtained. The CT scan showed that the aorta was normal in course
and caliber. There were moderate atherosclerotic calcifications
throughout the aorta without evidence of dissection or
penetrating ulcer. Preoperative course was otherwise uneventful.
He remained pain free on intravenous therapy and was cleared for
surgery. Given his inpatient stay was greater than 24 hours
prior to surgery, Vancomycin was utilized for perioperative
antibiotic coverage.
On [**3-15**] rd, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**] performed an aortic valve
replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting. For surgical
details, please see operative note. Following the operation, he
was brought to the CV ICU for invasive monitoring. Initially
hypotensive and anemic, he required inotropic support with
Levophed and vasopressin. Several units of packed red blood
cells were transfused. Over the next 24 hours, hemodynamics
improved and hematocrit stabilized. Pressors were weaned, he
remained stable, was weaned from the ventilator and was
extubated.
He was transferred to the floor on POD3. Beta blockers were
resumed, diuresis was continued along with aggressive pulmonary
care and bronchodilators. PT worked with him for strength and
mobility. He has baseline mobility issues, using a walker due to
instability from his spinal stenosis. There was some erythema
of the sternal wound and Keflex was given empirically.
Diuretics were changed to oral formulations at discharge. His
CXR demonstrated some intravascular fullness, but was
essentially clear. He denies SOB, despite his wheezing.
He developed atrial fibrillation for which Amiodarone was begun
and Lopressor was adjusted with rate control.. Anticoagulation
was begun with Coumadin for this as well. He progressed
satisfactorily and was ready for rehabilitation.
Diuretics were continued after transfer and will continue until
he reaches his preoperative weight, about 72 kg. The Atrovent
was changed to a more selective preparation given the severity
of his pulmonary disease.
Discharge precautions, medications and follow up instructions
were noted in the transfer paperwork and summary.

History of Present Illness:
Patient reports that she first experienced pain in her left
shoulder and radiating down her left arm yesterday morning. She
was not exerting herself, not eating, she was playing cards
which she usually does most mornings before breakfast. The pain
was very difficult to describe, not sharp or dull per se, she
thought it was her arthritis. Lasted about 10 minutes and
spontaneously resolved without interventions. Then this morning
she had another episode of similar left shoulder pain this am,
lasting a little longer, maybe about 1-2 hours. She denies
having shortness of breath, nausea, or diaphoresis with these
episodes. With the pain this am she had a second of
lightheadedness and that is why she decided to come in to the
hospital for it.
In the ED, initial vitals were 97.2 88 122/62 16 99% 2L NC.
Labs and imaging significant for troponin of 0.25 with normal
renal function and EKG with ST elevations in aVR and lead III >
II as well as depressions in I, II, V4-V6. Otherwise NA/NI,
rate 80s, + LVH and LAE. Patient given heparin gtt, morphine,
and NTG in the ED then taken immediately by cardiology to the
cath lab. In the lab, she had totally occluded RCA, which was
old from [**2111**] and previous stent to LAD was patent. Occluded
OM off a tortuous circ. DES to circ to obstuse marginal.
Angioplasty to native circumflex. Perclose.
.
On arrival to the floor, patient is feeling well, no more pain
in the left shoulder. She does not have any complaints. She
does report history of caludication symptoms in the past and
some chronic shortness of breath, not exertional. Denies PND.
.

IMAGING:
[**2122-5-25**] CARDIAC CATH: 1) Selective angiography of this
right-dominant system demonstrated
significant three-vessel coronary artery disease. The LMCA was
free of
angiographically-apparent flow-limiting stenoses. The LAD had a
patent
proximal stent, with a long 60-70% mid-vessel eccentric
calcified
stenosis. The LCx system had a 100% stenosis of a major OM
branch;
there was also a 90% mid-vessel stenosis. The RCA was known to
have a
100% mid-vessel stenosis and filled via left-to-right
collaterals.
2) Limited resting hemodynamics revealed systemic arterial
normotension, with a central aortic pressure of 132/67 mmHg.
3) Successful PTCA of the LCx with a 2.5 mm balloon (see PTCA
comments).
4) Successful PTCA and stenting of the LCx into a major obtuse
marginal
branch with a 3.0 x 30 mm Resolute [**Name Prefix (Prefixes) **] [**Last Name (Prefixes) 7930**] to 3.25 mm
(see PTCA
comments).
5) Successful RFA Perclose (see PTCA comments).
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Successful PTCA of the LCx with a 2.5 mm balloon.
3. Successful PCI of the LCx into a large obtuse marginal branch
with a
3.0 x 30 mm Resolute [**Name Prefix (Prefixes) **] [**Last Name (Prefixes) 7930**] to 3.25 mm.

Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately
depressed (LVEF= 35 %) secondary to severe hypokinesis of the
inferior, posterior, and lateral walls. The right ventricular
free wall thickness is normal. Right ventricular chamber size is
normal. with depressed free wall contractility. The ascending
aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Mild (1+)
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the
severity of mitral regurgitation may be significantly
UNDERestimated.] There is borderline pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 11154**] is a 84 year old female with known coronary artery
disease (CAD) who presented with left shoulder pain, found to
have ST elevations in aVR and ST depressions diffusely, with
troponin elevations. She was admitted to the CCU after
placement of drug eluding stent (DES) to left circumflex (LCx).
.
# CAD: Has 3 vessel disease (3VD) on cath this admission, with
DES placed to Lcx on [**2122-5-25**]. Also known 100% occlusion of RCA,
LAD with 60-70% mid-vessel disease but patent proximal DES (from
[**2111**]). Post-cath her EKG showed resolution of her ST changes
and her CKMB peaked at 153. Her echo showed new EF 35% with
inferior hypokinesis. She was continued on valsartan 80 mg
daily and her atenolol was changed to metoprolol succinate 100
mg daily. She was also dicharged on aspirin 81 mg daily and
clopidogrel 75 mg daily. Physical therapy saw her and
recommended home with home PT.
.
# New systolic heart failure: Had decreased EF to 35% after her
MI and crackles on exam. Responded well to furosemide 20 mg
daily, continued metoprolol succinate 100 mg daily. She should
be set up with heart failure clinic. Should have another echo
checked at follow-up and if remains in low EF then consider for
ICD placement.
.
# Arthritis: Was given tylenol for pain, continued vytorin gel
at home.
.
# Bladder incontinence: chronic, sounding like overflow
incontinence. [**Month (only) 116**] also have a contribution from chronic
constipation. Was given senna, docusate, and miralax as an
inpatient and her stools improved.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 11154**],
You were admitted to the hospital because you had a heart
attack. You were taken to the cath lab where they saw a blockage
in one of the vessels supplying the heart muscle with blood and
had a drug eluting stent to open up this blood vessel. You
tolerated this procedure well and were monitored in the CCU for
an evening. Your heart is weak after the heart attack, it will
probably get stronger over the next month but you have been
started on new medicines to help the heart recover.

History of Present Illness:
[**Age over 90 **]yo F with PMH significant for HTN, colon CA, hyperlipidemia,
and CAD who presented to [**Hospital3 **] on the evening of [**7-8**]
with sudden onset CP. On arrival to [**Hospital3 3583**], her SaO2
was found to 79% on room air, and she was intubated. A chest
CT-angiogram was done, which was reportedly negative for
pulmonary embolus. Initial ECG demonstrated a junctional rhythm
with new 2-3mm inferior and anterolateral ST depressions and ST
elevations in AVR and V1. She was given ASA, loaded with plavix,
and started on heparin and integrillin gtt prior to transfer.
In the [**Hospital1 **] ED, her VS were T 95.8F (rectal) to 99.8F, HR 63-80,
BP 100-127/40-50. ECG demonstrated junctional rhythm with HR 60
with persistent lateral ST depressions, but resolving ST
depressions in inferior leads and resolving ST elevations in AVR
and V1. Initial CEs were CK 185(17), tropT 0.63, drawn 6 hours
after onset of symptoms. Other initial labs were significant for
BUN/Cr of 28/1.9, K 2.8, and BNP of [**Numeric Identifier 961**]. CXR demonstrated
hyperinflation with hilar congestion and possible R-sided
consolidation--question of PNA. She received levofloxacin 500mg
IV and blood cultures were sent. She was admitted to CCU for
further management of NSTEMI, CHF and respiratory distress.

Brief Hospital Course:
#Cardiovascular-
STEMI: Pt found to have NSTEMI with troponin peaking 1.232.
Trigger for MI may have been plaque rupture or, also,
demand-supply mismatch in the setting of possible PNA &
respiratory failure. Cardiac catheterization on [**2128-7-12**]
revealed normal LMCA, 70-80% calcified stenosis of LAD, small
LCx, and RCA with 90% mid-occlusion. The RCA was stented with
Sirolimus-eluting stents. Pt recovered uneventfully from the
cath. NSTEMI & post-cath therapy included ASA, Plavix, and
heparin gtt.
.
CHF:
Pulmonary edema on admission thought to be due to CHF. Echo on
[**7-9**] revealed moderate to severe AS (tx'd at cath) and an EF of
45 to 55%. It appears that pt may have mild CHF. After
admission, she showed few if any signs of heart failure.
.
A-fib:
Pt monitored on telemetry. Went into rapid a. fib during
admission. Underwent D/C cardioversion, which failed to convert
her to NSR. Multiple meds were equired to slow rate
(amiodarone, metoprolol, and diltiazem). Her rapid afib seemed
to respond best to the diltiazem & amiodarone. On these three
medications, she eventually converted into sinus rhythm, which
she has been in for 3 days now. Since converting into sinus
rhythm, her HR has dropped into the 50's. Because of this slow
rate, her beta-blocker was d/c'd and her calcium-channel blocker
was continued at lower dose--short acting diltiazem 30mg, three
times a day. The patient was also started on coumadin for the
afib. However, there was debate over whether the patient should
be on coumadin (given her age, risk factors for a fall, and the
fact that she is already on aspirin & plavix for her cardiac
issues). After extensive discussion, it was determined to
proceed with coumadin therapy during hospitalizaiton and to
discuss the issue with the patients PCP before discharge;
however, we were unable to contact PCP prior to this discharge.
While on coumadin, the pt had two bouts of uncomplicated,
supratherapeutic INRs. Becuase of this we eventually, decided
that it would be safer for her to be off coumadin, and tx'd only
with aspirin & plavix.
.
# Aortic Stenosis:
Found to have moderate to sever AS on echo. During cath, the pt
underwent balloon valvuloplasty for AS (valve area
0.7cm2-->0.9cm2), reducing the gradient by 50%.
.
#Respiratory failure: Hypoxic respiratory failure. Intubated on
[**7-9**]. Failed extubation on [**7-12**], after developing worsening
pulmonary edema. Successful extubation on [**7-13**], post-cath.
.
#? RLL PNA/infx: afebrile on admission, though CXR suspicious
for PNA. Pt tx'd with azithromycin, ceftriaxone & levofloxacin,
which were d/c'd after concern of pt developing ATN w/ azithro &
CTX and of further prolonging QTc interval. Pan-cultured,
yielding no evidence of infection.
.
#Pneumothorax: caused during placement of central line.
Resolved with chest tube.
.
#Elevated WBC w/ monocytosis: Noted upon arrival at [**Hospital1 18**].
Unclear what baseline white count or differential is. While WBC
has declined somewhat, it is still elevated, The differential
has shown persistent monocytosis (>4,000 u/L) along with
promyelocytes and metamyelocytes on peripheral smear. (No blasts
seen on smear.) Pt seen & elavuated by Hematology/Oncology, who
believes pt likely has a myeloproliferative disorder. They have
recommended a number of blood tests (including a complete anemia
evaluation and cytogenetic testing). They will help develop
plan for follow-up care, and are in the process of contacting
the pt's PCP.
.
#Anemia: Pt required multiple transfusions during
hospitalization. She reportedly has h/o B12 defic, requiring
B12 injections. Iron studies revealed a nml iron level (88) and
an elevated ferritin (226). If the pt does have a
myeloproliferative d/o, her anemia may be related to that.
.
#Renal Failure: baseline Creatinine is unknown, though her crt
has settled at 0.9. It peaked at 2.4, and improved since then.
Exact cause of her ARF is unclear. It may have been due in part
to a pre-renal state given that she was showing some signs of
CHF. Medications renally dosed.
.
#Coagulation issues: after pt was started on coumadin for afib,
she developed a supratherapeutic INR. Coumadin d/c'd because of
pt's risk for fall.
.
#FEN: pt started on tube feeds via NGT while intubated. She
continued on tube feeds s/p extubation after failing two
swallowing evaluations. Her NGT was removed. She underwent a
third swallowing evaluation with video imaging, which revealed
that she could safely take ground solids and nectar thick
liquids. She needs assistance with feeding herself.
.
#Psych/Neuro: Some confusion during hospitalization. Required
wrist restraints & a sitter for short period. Oriented to place
(hospital) and people.
.

Brief Hospital Course:
Admitted after cardiac catheterization for preoperative
evaluation. On [**2174-2-1**] Ms. [**Known lastname **] was brought to the
operating room and underwent aortic valve replacement. See
operative note for details. She was brought from the operating
room to the ICU intubated. She weaned from ventilator and was
extubated without difficulty on POD#1. She had recieved IV
morphine for pain and became confused. Her narcotics were
discontinued and her mental status cleared over the next 24hrs.
Her pain was well controlled on tylenol and motrin. She was
started on betablockers and diuretics and couamdin for her
mechanical aortic valve. Crestor was resumed. She was
transferred to the step down unit on POD#2. Chest tubes and
temporary pacing wires were removed per protocol. She was
evaluated and treated by physical therpay and cleared for
discharge to home on POD#5.

CXR [**9-30**]: Marked engorgement of the superior mediastinal veins
may be due in part to supine positioning, alternatively right
heart dysfunction and/or pericardial effusion. Leftward
displacement of the trachea at the thoracic inlet is probably
due to an enlarged thyroid gland or other mass. Lungs are low in
volume but clear, free of pulmonary edema and there is no
appreciable pleural effusion.
.
EKG's:
EKG: OSH [**1-1**] 1:15 AM - NSB 50 bpm, 2 mm [**Apartment Address(1) **],3,F. No Q waves.
Axis 0
EKG 2 AM - SB 47 bpm, submm STE lead 2, TWI AvL and AvR. No STE.
.
Stress at OSH:
MIBI [**9-28**]: 5 [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Doctor First Name **] protocol with suboptimal HR response and
stopped due to fatigue. No angina. <1mm ST depressions
laterally. Small fixed defect in inf. and inflat wall c/w prior
infarct. Mild lateral ischemia. WMA with infbasal hypokinesiws,
LVEF 51%.
.
Cardiac Cath:
1. Selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system
revealed two vessel coronary artery disease. The left main
coronary
artery was mildly calcified and there was distal tapering of the
vessel
to 30%. The left anterior descending artery had no angiographic
evidence of coronary artery disease. There was proximal
calcification
of the LAD. The left circumflex artery had a 60% stenosis at
the ostium
of the vessel. The AV groove circumflex artery was a small
vessel. The
OM1 was a large vessel with occlusion in the mid-segment. The
RCA was a
dominant vessel with a 90% lesion at the origin of the vessel.
A
mid-RCA stent was visuallized and was widely patent.
2. Right heart catheterization revealed elevated right sided
pressures.
Mean PCWP = 23 mmhg.
3. Left heart catheterization revealed systemic hypertension.
Fick
calculated cardiac output and index were normal at 6.2 and 2.6
respectively.
4. Successful predilation using a 2.0 X 15 Maverick balloon,
stenting
using a 3.0 X 23 Cypher stent and post dilation using a 3.5 X 15
Maverick balloon of the acutely occluded mid Cx with lesion
reduction
from 100 % to 0%. The final angiogram showed TIMI III flow with
no
dissection or embolisation.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Two vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Systemic hypertension.
3. Elevated PCWP.
4. Preserved cardiac output.
5. Successful acute MI angioplasty of the mid Cx
.
ECHO post cath:
The left atrium is normal in size. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded (inferior wall and apex
were not well visualized). Overall left ventricular systolic
function is normal (LVEF>55%). The aortic root is mildly
dilated. The aortic arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no aortic valve
stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
The left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired
relaxation.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 2412**] is a 70 year old man with a history of type II
diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia., who had been
stented in the past. He r/o'd for MI at OSH and had a positive
stress then developed chest pain and was found to have ST
elevations in leads II, III, and aVF on EKG. He was transferred
to [**Hospital1 18**] for emergent cath for his inferior STEMI on a heparin
drip, integrillin drip, and nitro drip. In cath, he was found to
have a LMCA with a distal taper to a 30% occlusion, LAD without
critical lesions, a very small LCx with a 60% lesion. A very
large OM1 had a total occlusion in the mid section in the area
of a previous stent. This was opened with a 3x23 cypher stent to
0% occlusion. The dominant RCA was found to have an ostial
lesion of unknown clinical significance estimated to be 90% but
with TIMI 3 flow and a patent stent in the RCA.
Mr. [**Known lastname 2412**] recovered well after his catheterization. He was
placed on plavix and high dose lipitor. He was continued on
aspirin and lisinopril. His toprol XL was increased to 75mg QD
from 50mg QD. He was observed in the CCU for monitoring and had
no evidence of hematoma or vascular compromise at the femoral
artery. Nor did he exhibit further symptoms, EKG changes, or
arrhythmias. Enzymes peaked and trended down. His HTN was well
controlled throughout his hospital course. Echo showed a
preserved EF after catheterization.
He was transferred to the floor prior to planned discharge after
a PT evaluation. Of note, he continued to receive heparin SQ
prophylaxis throughout his hospital stay. In addition, his
diabetes was managed with RISS throughout his stay with moderate
control of his blood glucose. His metformin was d/c'd prior to
transfer to [**Hospital1 18**], as was his avandia. The patient was
restarted on these medications after discharge home (72 hours
after dye load).
There are a few outstanding issues:
1. Mr. [**Known lastname 2412**] will need to be enrolled in cardiac
rehabilitation.
2. Prior to cardiac rehab, he would likely benefit from a stress
test to evaluate the physiologic significance of the ostial
lesion in the RCA
3. The ostial lesion was not stented at this hospitalization as
it was thought to have played no part in the patient??????s STEMI and
therefore could be re-evaluated in the future.
To this end, I have established a follow-up appointment for the
patient with his cardiologist, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] at [**Hospital3 **] on [**2148-10-21**]. I have also faxed a letter to this effect
to Dr.[**Name (NI) 62997**] office describing the patient's presentation and
hospital course. His primary physician is [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name (STitle) **], with whom
he has also been instructed to follow-up.
The patient was discharged to home in good condition.

.
Mrs [**Known lastname 46690**] first felt unwell at about 9:30 this morning. She
later developed [**2120-4-6**] chest pressure that radiated to her L arm
as well as nausea. She waited 15 minutes then her nephew brought
her to [**Hospital1 18**] where an EKG showed STE in II III AVF, with neg
troponin, a code STEMI was called and she was taken to the cath
lab. There she was found to have a tight stenosis of the
proximal RCA and complete occlusion of the distal RCA. These
lesions were angioplastied and two BMS were placed. She was also
noted to have 80-90% proximal LAD and 60-70% Circ stenoses. Her
CP completely resolved. Her groin was closed with a closure
device though she still had some oozing from the site.
.
Of note she has been having chest pressure associated with
exertion for approximately 1 year. She denies orthopnea or PND.
By report she does take some pill for lower extremity edema but
denies CHF history. There is a question of a possible CVA or TIA
in the past year. She also has someone stay with her 24 hours a
day because of forgetfulness.
.
On review of systems, she denies deep venous thrombosis,
pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias,
joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. She
denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. She denies exertional
buttock or calf pain. All of the other review of systems were
negative. However because of her mental status this history may
not be entirely accurate.

EKG [**10-23**]
Baseline artifact at the end of the tracing. ST segment
elevation in
leads II, III, aVF and V6 with ST segment depression in the
lateral and
the anterior precordial leads suggestive of acute injury,
probable myocardial infarction. Poor R wave progression across
the precordium - cannot rule out prior anterior myocardial
infarction. No previous tracing available for comparison.
.
CATH [**10-23**]
COMMENTS:
1. Selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system
demonstrated 3 vessel coronary artery disease. The LMCA had
mild
plaquing, and a 20% ostial lesion. The proximal LAD was noted
to have
an 80-90% stenosis. It was notable for a cuff adequate for
endovascular
treatment of this lesion without necessarily involving the LMCA.
It was
noted to be very heavily calcified, and would thus consider
rotablation.
The LCx had a proximal 60-70% lesion. The RCA had a thrombotic
occlusion of the distal RCA. There was also a tight calcific
lesion
noted in the proximal RCA.
2. Limited resting hemodynamics revealed systemic arterial
normotension
with a central aortic pressure of 128/68, mean 94 mmHg.
3. Successful PCI to the dRCA lesion with a 3.5x18mm Vision BMS
and the
pRCA with a 3.5x15mm Vision BMS.
4. Perclose to the Right CFA.
5. No complications.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Thrombotic lesion in the distal RCA with notable disease in
the LAD
and LCx as well.
2. Systemic arterial normotension.
3. Successful PCI to the dRCA and pRCA with two Vision BMS.
4. No complications of the procedure.
5. Patient is to remain on aspirin indefinitely and clopidogrel
for at
least 9-12 months given the setting of an acute MI.
.
EKG [**10-24**]
Baseline artifact. Sinus rhythm. Q waves in leads III and aVF
with
deep T wave inversion in the inferior and lateral precordial
leads, consistent with an evolving inferior myocardial
infarction. Poor R wave progression in leads V1-V3 suggestive of
a prior anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Compared to the
previous tracing of [**2121-10-23**] the diffuse T wave inversions are
new, as are the inferior Q waves, consistent with evolution of
the previously seen inferior myocardial infarction pattern.
ECHO: [**10-24**]
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately
depressed (LVEF= 35 %) secondary to inferior, posterior, and
lateral hypokinesis. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an
increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). The
right ventricular free wall thickness is normal. Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with depressed free wall
contractility. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened
(?#). There is no aortic valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation
is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There
is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is
normal. There is no pericardial effusion.
.
CXR [**10-24**]
FINDINGS:
Evaluation is slightly limited due to severe levoscoliosis of
the thoracic spine. Within those limitations, the
cardiomediastinal silhouette and hila are normal. There is no
pleural effusion and no pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
Severe thoracic levoscoliosis, no acute cardiothoracic process.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **]F with HTN, macular degeneration, without known CAD with new
RCA STEMI s/p BMS x2.
.
# CAD/RCA STEMI: Presented with RCA STEMI. SHe was treated with
aspirin plavix and taken to the cath lab with succesful PTCA and
BMSx2 placement with resolution of CP. Post catheterization EKG
demonstrated resolution of the STE but new Q waves in II and
AVF. Echo the following day demonstrated LVEF 35% and depressed
RV function. She was placed on atorvastatin 80mg, metoprolol,
lisinopril and imdur. Her cardiac cath also showed significant
CAD of the LAD and circumflex artetries but no intervention was
performed. These lesions will be treated medically for now.
.
#HTN: Had HTN prior to admission treated with diltiazem. After
her MI she was started on metoprolol, lisinopril, and imdur, and
her diltiazem was discontinued. Blood pressure was well
controlled at discharge.
#Acute Systolic Dysfunction: Has been on lasix 40 mg for lower
extremity edema. Her LVEF is 35% on recent echo thought to be
depressed from baseline. She looked mildly hypervolemic but was
not actively diuresed as she is likely preload dependent in
setting of her RV infarct. Her home lasix was retarted prior to
discharge.
.
#Hyperlipidemia: had history of HLD and was on pravastatin 20 mg
daily. This was changed to atorvastatin 80mg after her MI
.
#Macular degeneration: Stable
.
#Urinary tract infection:
Multiple episodes of urinary incontinance in past 24h since
foley removed. Pt denies incontinence at home. U/A positive,
started on ceftriaxone empirically and culture grew klebsiella
in urine, sensitive to ciprofloxacin. She will finish a 7 day
course of antibiotics with cipro for 4 days.
.
# Dementia.
Baseline at present, possible additional component of delirium.
Pt much clearer today, A+Ox3, following commands, conversant,
pleasant.
.
Transitional issues:
1. consider repeating u/a once antibiotics are finished
2. consider stress test in the future to assess for ischemia
given known occlusions
3. Chem-7 to be drawn in 3 days at rehabilitation as pt is newly
on lisinopril
4. BP and HR monitoring on new medicines
5. Repeat ECHO in 6 weeks to assess EF.

Brief Hospital Course:
84 year-old woman with history of CVA found to be unresponsive
at nursing home likely [**1-17**] urinary tract infection. Patient had
transient hypotension for which he was observed in the ICU. This
may have due to a sepsis syndrome or due to hypovolemia from
several days of diarrhea reporteddly before admission.
Problem [**Name (NI) **]:
# E. Coli UTI: Initially received three days of IV Ceftriaxone.
When the sensitivities of the E.Coli in the urine came back, she
was switched to oral Cipro x 5 more days (total of 8 days of
Abx)
# Hypotension - Monitored in ICU without further hypotension.
Responded to fluids and antibiotics. See above. Did not recur.
# Schizophernia: Chronic. Pt with active paranoid delusions
both with family and staff. Geriatrics, in the ICU, recommended
holding QHS doses and using zyprexa only PRN if agitated for now
to see if she continues with apnea/hypotension at night.
Restarting home risperidone slowly to make sure blood pressure
tolerates. Started on risperidone 1mg [**Hospital1 **] (normally 1mg Qam,
2mg Qpm). On this regimen, she did well from a psychiatric point
of view for the few days she was here.

Date of Birth: [**2118-1-31**] Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Baby boy [**Known lastname 66504**] is the 2.985 kg
product of a 34 week gestation born to a 30-year-old G3, P0,
now 1 mother.
Prenatal screens - A positive, antibody negative, hepatitis
surface antigen negative, RPR nonreactive, rubella immune,
GBS unknown.
PAST OBSTETRICAL HISTORY: Remarkable for an intrauterine
fetal demise at 30 weeks gestation. This pregnancy
complicated by hydramnios also. The baby's autopsy was
reported to be normal. Dates are by first trimester
ultrasound. Pregnancy was complicated by severe
polyhydramnios with an AFI of 45 just prior to delivery.
Mother has had multiple ultrasounds and fetal surveys at 17
and 21 weeks that had been unremarkable. Mother was
transferred to the [**Country 3867**] from [**Hospital **] Hospital in the
middle of [**Month (only) 404**] with increasing polyhydramnios and preterm
labor. She received a full course of betamethasone on [**1-14**] and was treated with magnesium sulfate until [**1-29**].
She was given 1 dose of nifedipine 2 days ago as a tocolytic
without effect.
Delivery by cesarean section was prompted by ongoing labor.
Preterm labor with new onset of late decelerations and breech
presentation. Nuchal cord was noted at delivery. The infant
cried after bulb suctioning and stimulation. Apgars were 8
and 8.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Weight 2.985 kg, 95th percentile;
length 48 cm, 85th percentile; head circumference 35 cm,
greater than 95th percentile. Anterior fontanel soft and
flat. Head shape normal with mildly flattened on top
consistent with breech positioning in utero. Facies
nondysmorphic, palate intact. Mild intermittent grunting
noted with mild subcostal retractions. Good air entry
bilaterally. S1 and S2 normal intensity. No murmur noted.
Perfusion good. Abdomen soft with no masses. Three vessel
cord. Normal male with testes palpable bilaterally. Tone
initially low normal but improved within normal limits on
admission. Hips increased lax knee but no obvious
dislocation.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS: RESPIRATORY: [**Known lastname **]
has been admitted to the newborn intensive care unit and has
been stable in room air since admission.
CARDIOVASCULAR: Infant has an audible murmur. Cardiology
consult of the infant on [**2-4**]. Echocardiogram results
were within normal limits revealing a PPS murmur.
FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Birth weight was 2.985
kg. Discharge weight .. The infant was initially started on
60 cc per kg per day of D10W. Enteral feedings were initiated
on day of life No.1. The infant is currently on a 120 cc per
kg per day of premature Enfamil 20 calorie or breast milk,
tolerating feeds well. Electrolytes on day of life 1 showed a
sodium of 142, potassium of 5.1, chloride of 108, and total
CO2 of 23.
GASTROINTESTINAL: Bilirubin on [**2-3**] was 8.2/0.3.
Surgery was consulted to rule out a TE fistula as the infant
had an incidental pass of a gavage tube into his right
bronchus. TEF was primarily ruled out as [**Last Name (un) 37079**] was passed
easily to stomach and x-ray revealed good position.
HEMATOLOGY: Hematocrit on admission was 38.2. The infant has
not required any blood transfusions.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE: CBC and blood cultures were obtained on
admission. CBC was benign and blood cultures remained
negative at 48 hours at which time ampicillin and gentamicin
were discontinued. Initial CBC had a white count of 16,
platelet count of 204, 53 polys and 0 bands.
NEUROLOGY: Appropriate for gestational age.
MUSCULOSKELETAL: Of note incidental finding on x-ray, the
infant has a hemivertebra at T11.
AUDIOLOGY: Hearing screen has not been done but should be
done prior to discharge.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: To [**Hospital **] Hospital.
NAME OF PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 56727**]. Telephone No.
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 65821**].
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:

therapy while on conventional ventilation. At 24 hours of
age, she extubated to CPAP after initiation of caffeine
citrate for prophylactic methylxanthine therapy. She remained
on CPAP until [**2126-5-20**], day of life 13, at which time she
transitioned to nasal cannula where she remains at this time.
She does occasionally have apneic and bradycardiac episodes
but are rare. She has had none in the past 3 days. She
remains on caffeine citrate. Nasal cannula is at 200 cc flow,
28 to 30% FI02.
Cardiovascular: She had an intermittent murmur audible
shortly after birth. The murmur became more persistent on day
of life 3 at which time she had an echocardiogram done which
was on [**2126-5-10**], showing a large PDA and a small VSD. She
received an initial course of indomethacin therapy at that
time. She had a second course of indomethacin given for
persistent murmur on [**2126-5-12**]. She had a follow-up
echocardiogram done after the second course of Indocin on
[**2126-5-13**]. At that time, she had a 2 mm PDA with a left to
right flow. She had a follow-up echocardiogram on [**2126-5-15**]
which showed a 1.5 mm PDA with high velocity continuous left
to right flow. She had a persistent intermittent murmur and
continues to do so at this time. She had another
echocardiogram done on [**2126-6-7**] which showed a 3 mm PDA with
left to right flow but it was felt to be restrictive without
clinical compromise, so no further management has been done.
Otherwise, she has maintained a normal blood pressures and
heart rates.
Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: Double lumen UVC was
placed on admission to the NICU and the infant was started on
IV fluids and parenteral nutrition on the first day. She
remained N.P.O. due to patent ductus arteriosus and received
initial enteral feedings on [**2126-5-16**], day of life 9.
Feedings were slowly advanced and she received full enteral
feedings on [**2126-5-24**], day of life 17. At that point, her
calories were further concentrated to maximum caloric density
of breast milk with 30 cals per ounce and BeneProtein. She is
presently on BM26 with Beneprotein at 150 ml/kg/day given via
gavage over 90 minutes. She has had adequate weight gain.
Her most recent weight is 1875 grams (25-50%). Her most
recent head circumference is 29 cm (10-25%), and her most
recent length is 41cm (10-25%). Ferrous sulfate and Vitamin
E were initiated on [**2126-5-26**].
Hematology: Her hematocrit at birth was 41.5 with a platelet
count of 208. She has required 2 blood product transfusions,
first one on [**2126-5-20**] and the most recent one on [**2126-6-11**]
and that was given for hematocrit of 23.9 with a retic count
of 4.6 and symptomatology of increased apnea and bradycardia.
There have been no further hematocrits measured. She remains
on iron at this time.
Gastrointestinal: The infant developed hyperbilirubinemia
with a peak bilirubin level of 5.9 over 0.5. She received a
total of 10 days of phototherapy. Her hyperbilirubinemia has
resolved.
Infectious disease: A CBC and blood culture were screened on
admission to the NICU due to maternal preterm labor. The CBC
was benign. Ampicillin and gentamycin were initiated and
discontinued after 48 hours of negative blood culture. There
have been no further issues with sepsis.
Neurology: The infant has had 2 head ultrasounds done. The
initial one was on [**2126-5-14**] followed up by a head ultrasound
on [**2126-6-5**], both within normal limits. It is recommended to
repeat the head ultrasound at a postmenstrual age of 36 weeks'
gestation.
Sensory: Audiology: A hearing screen has not been performed
to date. The infant will need a hearing screen prior to
discharge from the hospital.
Ophthalmology: An initial eye examination was done on
[**2126-6-10**] showing immature retina to zone 2, needs follow-up
at 2 weeks from that exam.
Psychosocial: A [**Hospital1 18**] social worker has been in contact with
the family. There are no active issues at this time but if
there are any concerns, she can be reached at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 8717**].
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Transfer to [**Hospital **] Hospital, level 2
nursery.
NAME OF PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 45949**],

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Feedings: PG feeds at 150 ml/kg/day of 26 calorie breast milk
with BeneProtein given 90 minute period of time, q 4 hours.
MEDICATIONS:
1. Ferrous sulfate (concentration 25 mg/mL) dose of 0.14 ml
per day which is approximately 2 mg/kg per day. Iron
and vitamin D supplementation: Iron supplementation is
recommended for preterm and low birth weight infants until
12 months corrected age. All infants fed predominantly
breast milk should receive Vitamin D supplementation at
200 i.u. (may be provided as a multi-vitamin preparation)
daily until 12 months corrected age.
2. Vitamin E 5 units pg daily.
3. Caffeine citrate 13 mg pg daily which is approximately 7
mg per kg per dose.
Car seat position screening is recommended prior to discharge
home.
State newborn screen was sent on [**2126-5-10**] which showed
elevated amino acids. A repeat state screen was sent on
[**2126-5-20**] and showed a thyroxine level of 5 which is
borderline low. Repeat specimen was sent on [**2126-5-28**] which
was within normal limits.
IMMUNIZATIONS RECEIVED: The infant received hepatitis B
vaccine on [**2126-6-16**].
IMMUNIZATIONS RECOMMENDED:
Synagis RSV prophylaxis should be considered from [**Month (only) **]
through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the following four
criteria: (1) Born at less than 32 weeks; (2) Born between
32 weeks and 35 weeks with two of the following: Day care
during RSV season, a smoker in the household, neuromuscular
disease, airway abnormalities or school age siblings; (3)
chronic lung disease or (4) hemodynamically significant
congenital heart disease.
Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the Fall
for all infants once they reach 6 months of age. Before this
age, and for the first 24 months of the child's life,
immunization against influenza is recommended for household
contacts and out-of-home caregivers.
This infant has not received ROTA virus vaccine. The American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends initial vaccination of
preterm infants at or following discharge from the hospital
if they are clinically stable or at least 6 weeks but fewer
than 12 weeks of age.

Service:
This is an 83-year-old male who presents from an outside
hospital with multiple episodes of chest pain. He was found
to have an elevated troponin. He underwent cardiac
catheterization which showed three-vessel disease with an
ejection fraction of 25% and was transferred to [**Hospital1 **] for planned CABG.
Of note during his stay at the outside hospital, he was found
to have a [**12-25**] A-V block and needed ventricular pacing. His
Lopressor was stopped and he also had hematuria, which
Urology was consulted.
His past medical history is significant with chronic anemia,
history of PE with an IVC filter in place, chronic venous
stasis ulcers and disease, colon cancer status post colectomy
in the 70s.
MEDICATIONS: He was on aspirin. He was on a Heparin drip.
He was on Imdur 30 mg q day, hydroxyzine, and lisinopril.
He had no known drug allergies.
His lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. His heart
was regular rate, but bradycardic. His abdomen was soft,
nontender, nondistended. Bowel sounds are present. He had a
positive colectomy. He had good pulses.
He was taken to the operating room on [**2117-8-3**] where a CABG
x2 was performed. The patient had a LIMA to left anterior
descending artery, a [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex graft to the right RDA and a
left radial to OM. The patient was transferred to the SICU
postoperatively. He was slowly weaned from his ventilator
and was extubated. He was also started on Plavix for his
radiograph as well as for his [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex graft. He continued
to do well.
The patient's monitor was slowly turned off, and he was found
to be significantly bradycardic and Electrophysiology was
consulted. Electrophysiology saw the patient and found that
he has had bradycardic heart rate. It was decided at that
time for a pacemaker to be placed, and it is scheduled to be
done after discharge at a cardiac rehab facility. Physical
therapy was also consulted to assess ambulation, and he did
well. However, physical therapy agreed with
Electrophysiology in requesting patient go to rehabilitation
for potential increased physical therapy and range of motion.
Patient was transferred to the floor postoperatively and he
continued to improve. Foley was removed. He was unable to
urinate, therefore Foley was replaced. Patient was not
started on beta blockade because for his sinus bradycardia
and for antinodal blockade. The patient was continued on the
pacemaker at that time and continued on Imdur and Plavix for
his graft. His pacer was set for DDI at 60. He continued to
improve at that time.
On [**2117-8-9**] postoperative day #7, the patient was discharged
to rehab facility in stable condition with plan to have a
pacer placement at that time. The patient was discharged.
Discharge medications include Imdur 30 mg po q day, Plavix 75
mg po q day, captopril 12.5 mg po tid, Percocet 1-2 tablets
po q4 hours prn, aspirin 325 mg po q day, Zantac 150 mg po
bid, Colace 100 mg po bid, Lasix 20 mg po bid, and [**First Name5 (NamePattern1) 233**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1002**]
20 mEq po bid.
Patient is discharged to rehabilitation in stable condition
instructed to followup with primary care physician [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**11-25**]
weeks. Also follow up with Cardiology after his pacer as
needed and follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in four weeks. The
patient was discharged to rehab in stable condition.

increased free fluid in abd. and pelvis, and bilat pleural
effusions and subcutaneous tissue..
.
[**2166-1-31**]: Echo:The left atrium is normal in size. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular
cavity size is normal. Regional left ventricular wall motion is
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF> 55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are
normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened.
Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets
are structurally normal. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen.
There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There
is no pericardial effusion.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. Anemia: Unclear cause. Hct had been trending down over the
past few weeks prior to admission. There was great concern for
bleed with elevated INR, but CT showed no evidence of RP bleed.
Throughout hospital course, all guaiacs negative.
Pt seen by hematology oncology. Lab tests did not show any
indication of mircoangiopatic hemolytic anemia on peripheral
smear, nor was there any evidence of DIC. Hematocrit remained
fairly stable, however, the elavated LDH and concurrent lactic
acidosis was thought to be secondary to the rapid cell turnover.
Bone marrow biopsy showed 2+ PMNs on the gram stain, but no
orgs. Pt was given Fe supplementation during hosptial stay.
2. Thrombocytopenia/left shift: Platelet count low with
concerning etiology of infection vs. malignancy. Peripheral
smear "toxic" appearing but left shift resolving. Platelet
counts followed closely with low threshold to transfuse.
3. INR elevation: Baselin INR 4. INR peaked in the hospital at
41. No evidence of bleed on CT. Guiac negative in ED. Fall
precautions. Received 2 U FFP, and SC and IV vitamin K in ED.
4. Acidosis: gap: Multiple possible etiologies. Patient has had
elevated glucose since [**Month (only) 1096**], elevated now with decreased PO
intake, however serum acetone was negative. Urine ketones,
serum acitone negative. Serum ASA negative. Appeared to be
lactic acidosis and probable renal failure contributing.
Hypoalbumin may have masked size of anion gap.
IN the MICU, pt continued to have high Lactate, with noted
consolidation on CXR. Pt was started on broad spectrum
antibiotics, with strict glycemic control.
4.5. Respiratory failure secondary to hypoxia. Increased A-a
gradient. The differential diagnosis was broad upon admission to
the MICU, including worsening PNA, viral or bacterial with
special consideration of influenza, as the leading causes, not
excluding TRALI. Given patient's hx and likely
immunosuppression, pt remained on broad spectrum antibiotics. Pt
became rapidly tachypnic and dyspnic on the floor, and was
intubated secondary to respiratory failure.
5. [**Doctor First Name 48**]: Normal cr is 0.6-0.9. Acute process most likely
secondary to intravascular volume depletion in the setting of
volume overload.
.
6. Tachypnea: likely from anemia and a respiratory compensation
to metabolic acidosis.
.
7. Edema/anasarca: Bilat leg edema worsening over hospital
course was not likely consistent with bilat DVT, but given hx
may consider LENIs. CT showed increase size in pleural
effusions, subcutaneous edema, free abdominal fluid and a new
pericardial effusion that was not seen on [**1-31**]. Albumen was
low. 30 protein in the UA. There was Concern for malignancy
though no mass noted on CT scans.
.
8. Elevated LFTs: AST/ALT at baseline, has had elevated AST
presumably realted to 6-MG since [**2162**]. LDH abnormally high in
the 4000s. Unclear if this was related to [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 2043**] process,
hemolysis, cancer. Will recheck today
.
9. Elevated blood glucose. QID FS, RISS
.
10. Hypertension: changed long acting antihypertensives to
metoprolol [**Hospital1 **] and Dilt QID dosing.
.
Medications on Admission:
Coumadin 7 mg daily except Fridays and Mondays when she

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 85-year-old
woman with a history of bronchogenic adenocarcinoma, status
post left lower lobe resection in [**2120-7-7**] complicated by
pneumonia and failure to wean from the ventilator. She is
transferred from [**Hospital1 **] Rehabilitation Center at
The patient's course status post her left lower lobe
adenocarcinoma resection was notable for multiple episodes of
respiratory failure which required re-intubation. She also
had multiple episodes of pneumonia. She had a tracheostomy
and jejunostomy tube placed in [**2120-7-7**]. From that
point, the patient has had a prolonged course in which she
Her course at [**Hospital1 **] Rehabilitation Center is
notable for decreased hematocrit and guaiac positive stools.
Her Coumadin had been stopped, an esophagogastroduodenoscopy
was unsuccessful and the barium swallow was deferred
secondary to high aspiration risk. The patient was on
Coumadin for atrial fibrillation which had developed
postoperatively but resolved after initiation of Amiodarone.
The patient also had a right sided thoracentesis for a large
(greater than 2 liters) pleural effusion. She had rapid re-
accumulation of this effusion which was by report a
transudate.
The patient did have sputum which grew Methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus.
The patient also had stool that was positive for C.
difficile. The patient also had recurrent urinary tract
infection most recently with Klebsiella which was treated
with a 5 day course of Zosyn just prior to admission here.
Family reports that at baseline the patient is deaf but is
able to communicate through writing and lip [**Location (un) 1131**]. They
have noted no recent changes in her mental status. They have
become frustrated that she has not been able to progress off
the ventilator and are requesting further evaluation at [**Hospital1 1444**].

and less than 10 epithelial cells with 1+ gram negative rods,

Chest x-ray: Shows slight cardiomegaly, bilateral pleural
effusions, mild to moderate pulmonary edema.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Pulmonary: The patient was initially diuresed with an
extra dose of Lasix the day of her admission. She was then
sent for a CT scan of her chest on [**2120-12-13**] and this showed
the following. Question of a left lingular bronchus
partially obstructing lesion. Ground glass opacity changes
mostly in the upper lobes, predominantly the right upper
lobe. Generally aside from the right upper lobe findings,
the parenchyma is much improved compared to a CT scan from
[**2120-8-7**]. There is question of overinflation of the
cuff of her tracheostomy. There is interval increase in the
right sided pleural effusion with interval decrease in her
left sided pleural effusion.
The patient underwent bronchoscopy on [**2120-12-16**], which
revealed a somewhat concerning appearance to a heaped up type
lesion at the left lower lobe stump. This lesion was
biopsied times three given its somewhat concerning
appearance. The tissue at this lesion was not friable nor
did it bleed in an abnormal way. The biopsies are pending at
the time of dictation.
The patient was put on trials of trach mask. The patient
surprisingly tolerated these trials on trach mask quite well.
She was generally rested over night on SIMV, however, during
the day she was able to tolerate trach mask for several hours
during the day. We will continue to put her on trials of
trach mask off the ventilator as tolerated while she is still
at [**Hospital1 69**]. On the day of
discharge from the [**Hospital1 18**], she tolerated trach collar >24 hours
(including overnight).
It is possible that some component of pulmonary edema from
congestive heart failure may be impeding her ability to wean.
Bronchoscopy otherwise revealed areas of thick mucous plugs
which were clear in appearance and not purulent. Also, the
Pulmonary Interventional Service will evaluate the patient on
[**2120-12-17**] to change her trach collar to a different size so
that there is no leak as a leak had been noted around the
trach collar, however, the CT scan suggested her cuff is
overinflated. They suggested the size of the trach is
actually somewhat small for her airway.
2. Cardiovascular: There were no acute cardiovascular
issues during this admission. As noted we did try some mild
extra diuresis and changed her Lasix to twice a day dose
while here. She generally maintained a negative fluid
balance over 24 hour period. There was no recurrence of
atrial fibrillation during this admission.
The patient had a transthoracic echo, which otherwise
unchanged from previous echocardiograms at this institution
as well as [**Hospital1 **], revealed question of a left
atrial mass. It was not entirely clear from the views on the
TTE as to the nature of this mass, however, upon review with
cardiology attending, the mass did not appear to be
displaying paradoxical motion within the atrium. A
transesophageal echocardiogram was scheduled, however, the
patient did not tolerate sedation required for the procedure
as she dropped her blood pressure precipitously. This blood
pressure drop responded to a brief bolus of pressors. She
had no further hemodynamic instability following the
procedure. The procedure was aborted and is not being
rescheduled at this time. It is felt that the mass that was
seen on the TTE is likely within the wall of the atrium
rather than an attached thrombus or myxoma. This will not e
further pursued during this admission.
3. Infectious Disease: The patient was still spiking
temperatures above 101.0. She was cultured multiple times,
with sputum showing greater than 25 polys and 1+ gram
negative rods. At the time of this dictation those gram
negative rods are being speciated and sensitivities to the
antibiotics are pending. We suspect the 4+ gram positive
rods are likely colonizer, especially upon review of prior
sputum samples this has turned out to be corynebacterium.
The CT scan did raise some question of whether there is an
atypical pneumonia with deep ground glass opacity findings in
her right upper lobe. Given the spike temperature and her
multiple courses of antibiotics, we elected to start
Ceftazidime. This was started empirically to cover gram
negative rods in her sputum as well as apparently gram
negative rods in her urine which were growing. There is some
concern whether a five day course of Zosyn may have been
somewhat short for the purulent strain that she had grown.
Other data at the time of this dictation is pending with
regards to her cultures. She will be discharged on
Ceftazidime 1 gram q 12 hours intravenous, started on
[**2120-12-16**].
4. Renal. The patient maintained a good urine output during
this admission with a good response to Lasix and Hemodynamic
stability. There were no active issues otherwise.
5. Gastrointestinal. The patient tolerated tube feeds
throughout this admission. They were changed to a different
tube feed formulation in an effort to reduce CO2. This is
changed to Respalor. The patient tolerated tube feeds well
and no further changes were necessary.
6. Access. The patient was had a peripheral intravenous
during this admission, no central access was necessary.
7. Prophylaxis: The patient was on Protonics, pneumoboots,
and subcutaneously Heparin.
8. Code Status: "Do Not Resuscitate", confirmed with the
patient's proxy, [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 36924**].
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Ceftazidime 1 gram intravenous q 12 times 10 days.

History of Present Illness:
21 y/o F, nursing student, with h/o head trauma in [**2133**] with
minor bleed, tonic clonic seizure, now off dilantin, IBD;
constipation predominant, and episodes of tachycardia,
hypertension, chest pain and palpitations, concerning for
autonomic dysfunction.
Pt was in her USOH until 12 days ago. She was on her clinicals
as a 3rd year nursing student on the Ob/Gyn [**Hospital1 **] when she
abruptly felt light-headed and as if she was about to faint.
Denies syncope or LOC, headache, vision changes. weakness,
numbness/paresthesias. Pt does note that she had a URI a day or
two prior to that day. She also notes that her OCP was changed
to a generic about 1 month ago.
.
The pt was initially admitted to [**Hospital6 28728**] Center
after presenting with diaphoresis and vision changes. CTA
Chest/Abdomen were unremarkable. CT Head was also unremarkable.
Patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further management of these
episodes.
.
Patient reports that episodes are induced when she sits up, but
can occur at any position: lying or sitting. Her BP during these
episodes have been noted to be as high as 200/130 with HR 150's.
Dyspnea, chest tightness and palpitations typically accompany
these episodes. She denies ever having LOC, or
numbness/weakness. She underwent cardiac and pulmonary workups
which are negative to date including ROMI and negative CTA. TTE
with bubble study was normal. [**Doctor First Name **], ANCA, RF, alpha 1
antitrypsin, urine catecholamines, metanephrines, VMA, 5-HIAA,
cortisol pending at time of transfer. CT adomen had per prelim
report showed normal adrenal glands.

Orthostatics: The patient was sat up in bed - BP subsequently
dropped from 116/72 to 75/48 with HR change of 85 to 169. Pt had
convulsions with episode of hypotension but was alert and
communicative throughout episode.
ALL subsequent exams and episodes of tachycardia were associated
with Hypertension, not hypotension.
The paroxysmal episodes are consistent, typically begin with
chest discomfort or sometimes HA, followed by worsening chest
pain, tachycardia, back-arching/shaking, and hypertension.
Episodes resolve after several minutes or quickly after
administration of 0.5-1mg Morphine, and 0.5-1mg ativan. Pain and
tachycardia are the predominant features. Pt denies any anxiety
before or during episodes. Episodes occur whenever pt is
elevated to sitting position, but also occur when supine. They
have only occured during the day or evening, never at night when
the pt is sleeping. Pt is awake and alert during episodes, is
able to speak and mentate normally. She is able to request
medication. She is aware enough of her surrounds to look at the
monitor to see her own vital signs. During episodes, EKGs show
only reguarl sinus tachycardia. BPs observed as high as
170s/110s, but generally decrease quickly to 140s before
normalizing. Pessures are equal bilaterally. She appears
somewhat fatigued afterwards, but does not demonstrate
post-ictal symptoms of MS depression. Her neurologic exam is the
same before and after episodes.

CT-HEAD: [**2141-10-11**] NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is no evidence of
infarction, hemorrhage, edema, shift of normally midline
structures or hydrocephalus. The density values of the brain
parenchyma are within normal limits. The [**Doctor Last Name 352**]-white matter

BARRIUM SWALLOW IMPRESSION ([**2141-10-16**]): Normal barium swallow,
without evidence of esophageal dysmotility.
Brief Hospital Course:
21 year old female nursing student with hx traumatic brain
injury ([**2133**]) presenting with paroxysmal tachycardia and
hypertension and CP of unclear etiology.
The patient was initially admitted to the general medicine
floor, though was quickly transferred to the MICU after
triggering for episodes of hypertension, tachycardia and chest
pain. Throughout her course in the MICU the patient appeared to
be a well-appearing, healthy young woman, in no distress and
with completely stable vital signs between her paroxsymal
episodes of CP, Tachycardia, and HTN. Her course generally
consisted of daily exams, consultations and tests. Cardiology,
Neurology (Autonomics), and Psychiatry were all consulted and
contributed to the evaluation of the pt.
Her initial presenting complaint was orthostatic tachycardia and
HTN. Since admission the pt has had multiple episodes of CP,
tachycardia, and HTN, both when supine, and with elevation.
While the events can be precipitated by postural changes, they
do not require them. The episodes have a significant component
of chest pain, substernal, [**8-27**], nonradiating, that will slowly
decrease after episodes has resolved. Some episodes also are
preceeding by headache. Pt has been observed to develop signs of
pain before hemodynamic changes, though the two events happen
close in time. The differential includes Pheochromocytoma, POTS,
carcinoid, GBS w/ autonomic dysreflexia, psuedopheochromocytoma,
panic disorder and cardiac ischemia, PE, esophageal spasm, pain
from foreign body.
-PE: Pt had negative D-dimers both at [**Location (un) 1121**] and at [**Hospital1 18**].
She had a CT-PA negative for PE at [**Location (un) **].
-Pheochromocytoma was initially the leading diagnosis in this
patient, though as tests returned negative, it was felt that
this was unlikey the etiology of this patient's symptoms. Her
serum was negative for metanephrines at [**Hospital 1121**] Hospital,
where she was hospitalized prior to her transfer. Serum
metanephrines are the test with the highest specificity for
pheochromocytoma (approx 97%), 24h Urine metanephrines and
catecholamines have greater specificity, and were also normal
from [**Location (un) 1121**]. The 24H urine metanephrines and catecholamines
were repeated here and were again negative. Additional serum
fractionated metanephrines were also repeated here and again
returned negative. Additionally a CT-Abd at the [**Location (un) 1121**],
showed normal kidneys and adrenals and no other masses or
abnormalities.
-Carcinoid was considered in this patient, though felt to be
unlikely with a negative Octreotide scan at [**Hospital1 18**] and a
reassuring CT-abd at [**Location (un) 1121**], that showed normal
peri-appendiceal regions. There was a small density in the
appendix that was likely a fecolith. 24h Urine 5-HIAA was
negative.
-[**Last Name (un) 4584**] [**Location (un) **] syndrome was also considered, but the patient was
noted to have a normal EMG at the OSH and she had no further
evidence of ascending weakness or paralysis and remained
neurologically intact throughout her hospitalization.
-Intracranial process: This was ruled out as the patient had
negative Head CT x 2. MRI/MRA of head/neck was also normal (two
cystic structures, read as likely chronic arachnoid cysts) CT
neck and chest were unremarkable though an incidental single [**3-21**]
mm perifissural right middle lobe nodule, which was likely an
intrapulmonary lymph node was identified, and was determined to
be clinically insignificant with no further work up warranted.
-PE/Dissection/pulmonary/pleuritic process: negative CT-[**MD Number(3) 80047**], normal CXRs, normal sats, negative D-dimer x 2.
- CAD unlikely w/ stable CEs at multiple points, Normal EKGs,
and regular sinus tachycardia on EKGs during episodes.
- Cardiac structural/vascular mass: ECHO was normal.
- Seizure, unlikely, with normal LOC during episdoes, ability to
speak and mentate noramlly and response to morphine and no
typical post-ictal symptoms. Neurology was following this case
and was also in agreement that the patient's symptoms were
unlikely to be related to seizure activity.
- Lyme serologies - negative
- Psych consulted for consideration of psychiatric related
diagnoses after all testing is completed (e.g. panic disorder,
paroxysmal hypertension/pseudopheochromocytoma. Initial
impressions were that episodes were not panic disorders. The
patient refused formal evaluation by psychiatry, though did
agree that she would be amenable to seek counseling on an
outpatient basis.
- Autonomic dysfunction: Evaluated by neurology to have no
evidence of autonomic or baroreceptor dysfunction.
-Esophageal spasm, stricure, or foreign body. No evidence of
esophageal dysmotility or abnormalities were seen on barrium
swallow.
-Renal artery stenosis was evaluated for with a renal ultrasound
with dopplers, which was a normal study.
Given this patient's extensive work up with no identifiable
organic cause of her paroxysms of hypertension associated with
chest pain and tachycardia, the diagnosis of
pseudopheochromocytoma was considered and the patient was
started on beta blocker therapy and an SSRI for her symptoms.
The patient's blood pressure in between episodes would not
tolerate the addition of an alpha blocker. After starting
therapy with propranalol, the patient had marked improvement in
her symptoms, and had rare minor episodes of chest pain that
were not incapacitating. She was monitored over 48 hours with
no evidence or documentation of further episodes, and was noted
to be up and ambulating without difficulty or recurrences of her
episodes. Given the improvement in her symptoms, she was
advised to continue taking nadolol as an outpatient, given the
ease of once a day dosing, as well as citalopram. She was also
advised to continue ativan as an outpatient, but to slowly taper
it in the future if she continued to do well, without symptoms.
She was also instructed to follow up with her primary care
physican after discharge to monitor her symptoms.

Pertinent Results:
[**2199-10-20**] LIVER U/S:
1. No evidence of biliary dilation. Patent hepatic vasculature.
2. Stable appearance of a postoperative right perihepatic fluid
collection
adjacent to the right hepatic dome. A left subhepatic collection
is newly
apparent, though this may be secondary to differences in imaging
technique,
and is likely post-operative in nature.
3. Moderate left pleural effusion.
4. Diffusely increased echogenicity of the liver most compatible
with fatty
infiltration, with focal areas of sparing, concerning for a
substantial
parenchymal abnormality.
5. Geographic and nodular hypoechoic areas in the liver, which
may be
associated with focal fatty sparing. A 6 mm lesion in the right
lobe is not
specific; follow-up ultrasound surveillance or consideration of
MR evaluation
is recommended if clinically indicated.
PATH:
Pt's liver: Liver, native hepatectomy (A-M):
Established cirrhosis, confirmed by trichrome stain.
Moderate septal and mild periseptal and lobular mononuclear
inflammation (Grade 2 inflammation), consistent with chronic
viral hepatitis C.
Several microscopic foci of small cell dysplasia; reticulin
stain evaluated.
Gallbladder with chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis.
Negative vascular and biliary margin.
Iron stain shows mild iron deposition in hepatocytes.
[**10-18**]/:11 Donor Liver, allograft, needle core biopsy:

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was admitted to hospital for combined liver/kidney
transplant. Pt was brought to OR, after informed consent was
obtained, including explaining to the patient the risks
associated with the donor liver including steatosis and
increased risk of delayed graft function and failure. Intraop
significant hemorrhage with no surgical bleeding but a massive
amount of just diffuse ooze was encountered. Activated
factor VII was given and shortly after the patient began making
clot and drying up. It was not thought to be safe to close
primarily packed the right upper quadrant and the iliac fossa
with sponges and placed a temporary abdominal closure with
anticipation of returning the patient to the operating room in
24 hours for
washout and definitive closure. Introp received 16 of packed
cells, 6 of CRYO, 15 of
FFP, 5 of platelets and 1 dose of factor VII. See operative
dictation for full details. Transferred to SICU intubated.
Overnight, continued transfusions to goal hct >30, plt >100, INR
<1.5, receiving 7 units pRBCs, 3 plts. Morning POD#1 returned to
OR for Exploratory laparotomy, removal of intra-abdominal
packing, liver biopsy, and hepaticojejunostomy. See operative
dictation for full details. Transferred back to SICU intubated.
[**2199-10-18**] U/S showed all vessels are patent. Over next two days
hct remained stable ~30 with 4 units pRBCs, 3 units plts. No
other transfusions during hospital course.
Extubated on [**2199-10-19**]. Following day had increasing oxygen
requirement secondary to pulm edema as mobilized fluid. Was
diuresed in SICU and transferred to floor on [**2199-10-23**]. Course
on floor was uneventful, except for pain control. Methadone and
dilaudid doses were adjusted apropriately. Was ultimately
continued on home methadone dose 35 mg, and pain well controlled
with intermittent dilaudid po 5 mg q6 prn. Lateral JP d/c'ed
[**10-25**], medial removed [**10-30**]. No evidence ascites leak through JP
sites or incision. Immunosuppression was administered and
titrated per pathway. Ppx was given per pathway.
Pt tolerated regular diet, pain controlled with oral pain
medications, voiding without difficulty, and ambulating. PT felt
safe for pt to be d/c'ed home. On day of discharge pt and staff
felt it safe for pt to be discharged home with VNA.

This am, He tried to get up from bed around 11 am,. As soon as
he
got up from bed and tried to walk, he fell down. He felt that
both his legs are weak, but left was much more weak than right
side. He felt weakness in LUE as well. He was on the floor and
was crawling around the house. He was awake the entire period ,
alert and knew that he had weakness and heavy feeling on the
left
side, both upper and lower extremities. at around 12 noon, he
crwaled over, somehoe managed to get hold of his medicines and
he
took a tablet of aspirin and atenonol. He thinks that weakness
and heavy feeling was same all over this period. It did not
increase or fluctuate and was maximum at the onset. he didnt
call
911 and thought that it will go away.
When his wife returned from work around 6 pm, she noted that he
is lying in the floor.He was awake , able to answer all
questions. he was taken to OSH for evaluation.

COMPARISON: Outside hospital head CT performed at [**Hospital **]
Hospital at 8:58
p.m. on [**2166-11-28**].
FINDINGS: There is a hyperdense acute 5.3 x 2.3 cm hemorrhage
centered in the
region of the right thalamus extending into the caudate. There
is hemorrhage
in the the third ventricle (2:15) and occipital horns of both
lateral
ventricles and denser appearanc eof the choroid plexux in the
body of the
right lateral ventrcile.(2:14). There is diffuse subarachnoid
hemorrhage, in
the region of the right sylvian fissure (2:19) and along the
posterior
parietal sulci on both sdies, more prominent from prior (2:19).
The frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the right lateral ventricle is compressed by
the mass
effect from this hemorrhage. There is very minimal shift of
midline
structures to left. The size and configuration of the ventricles
is stable
compared to the earlier examination, with slight prominence of
the temporal
horns of the lateral ventricles. There are no new foci of
hemorrhage.
[**Doctor Last Name **]-white matter differentiation appears well preserved without
evidence for
acute infarct. There is expansion of the left frontal bone with
heterogeneous
appearance, including lucent areas within- (series 105b/im
28-33) The
differential diagnosis includes fibrous dysplasia, hemangioma,
etc and further
evaluation with MR can be helpful to further characterize. A
samllr etention
cyst is noted in the left maxillary sinus.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multicompartmental acute intracranial hemorrhage as above
with involvement
of the right thalamus, caudate and 3rd and lateral ventricles
and SAH as
above. Mass effect on the right lateral ventricle, unchanged.
Associated
vascular cause cannot be excluded based on this exam, though
this is likely to
be seen with HTN- correlate with hisotry and consider further
work up for the
same.
2. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage, more
apparent
than on the prior examination.
3. Expansion of the left frontal bone with heterogeneous
appearance, as
described above- DDx includes fibrous dysplasia, hemangioma less
likely, etc.
Further evaluation with MR can be helpful to assess nature and
extent, if
there is no contra-indication.
CXR [**2166-11-29**]
IMPRESSION: Mild cardiomegaly, but no consolidations.
Elbow x-ray [**2166-11-29**]
FINDINGS: An IV catheter is seen in the antecubital fossa with a
kink in the
IV line. A bony spur seen at the olecranon. Other than mild
degenerative
changes, the elbow appears normal.
CT head [**2166-11-30**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Parenchymal hemorrhage centered in the right basal ganglia,
corona radiata
and thalamus, extending into the ventricles and, to a lesser
extent,
subarachnoid spaces. The overall appearance suggests primary
hypertensive
hemorrhage.
2. Overall, the total volume of hemorrhage appears similar to
the comparison
study, and there is no evidence of interval hemorrhage or
definite
development of hydrocephalus.
CXR [**2166-12-2**]
A single bedside radiograph of the chest excludes the lung
apices from the
field of view. Within that constraint the lungs appear
unchanged, with no
focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Cardiac,
mediastinal
and hilar contours are also unchanged.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 84196**] is a 67 yo RHM with HTN who presented with acute
onset weakness and heaviness over left side. Exam at the time of
admission showed left hemiparesis (arm more than leg), left
hemisensory neglect more prominent to tactile stimuli than
visual fields, and BL upgoing toes. The CT scan shows large R BG
bleed with IV extension. The most likely etiology is
hypertension, given his uncontrolled blood
pressure and typical location of bleed. He had been seen by
neurosurgery who have suggested no acute intervention. He was
initially admitted to the neurology ICU and started on a
nicardipine drip for blood pressure control. A repeat CT head
showed a stable size of his hemorrhage and he was titrated off
the nicardipine drip and transferred to the floor. Initially he
had some difficulties with blood pressure control and his home
atenolol was increased to 100 mg [**Hospital1 **] with good response. His
other home medications including his [**Last Name (un) **] and Inspira were
continued. His outpatient cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was
contact[**Name (NI) **] regarding his medical regimen and it was determined
that he has had a number of intolerance/adverse reaction to
multiple other antihypertensives including ace-inhibitors and
calcium channel blockers. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] commented that he was
planning to start Mr. [**Known lastname 84196**] on Tektura 150 mg daily. This may
be considered if his blood pressure requires additional
treatment.
ID- On [**2166-12-1**] the patient spiked a temperature of 102. He was
pancultured which have been unrevealing. Final blood cultures
are still pending at the time of discharge.
MSK- Patient did have some occasional lower back pain during the
hospital course. A plain film x-ray did not reveal any
identifiable cause. It was thought this may have been
musculoskeletal and has been controlled with tylenol and
occasional oxycodone for breakthrough pain

(pending rehab placement)
Service:
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 81-year-old
female with known coronary artery disease documented in [**2182**]
with an ejection fraction of approximately 30-35%, who had
been managed medically and was living an active lifestyle.
She had been experiencing some chest pain and worsening
shortness of breath and orthopnea.
On the night prior to admission, the patient had worsening
chest pain and presented to the emergency room for
evaluation. Upon arrival, she complained of chest pain and
the electrocardiogram showed new lateral ST depressions
concerning for acute ischemia. Her cardiac enzymes were
positive for a CK leak with a troponin of 43. Her chest
x-ray was consistent with congestive heart failure. The
patient was given sublingual nitroglycerin, morphine, beta
blockers and aspirin and was started on a heparin drip. The
cardiology service was consulted and the patient was taken
for a cardiac catheterization.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: The past medical history was
significant for coronary artery disease with previous
echocardiograms documenting an ejection fraction of 30-35%,
hypertension, colon cancer status post partial colectomy,
partial deafness and right eye blindness secondary to eyeball
rupture.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Her medications at home included
aspirin, Lipitor, Zestril, Lopressor, Fosamax, nortriptyline
and Imdur.
ALLERGIES: The patient had no known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lived at home with her husband,
who was also very active per her primary care physician.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On examination, the patient was
afebrile with vital signs stable. The heart rate was 84 and
the blood pressure was in the 150s/70s. The oxygen
saturation was 90-98% on a nonrebreather mask. The heart had
a regular rate and rhythm with no murmurs, rubs or gallops.
The lungs had crackles bilaterally. The abdomen was soft,
nontender and nondistended. The extremities revealed no
clubbing, cyanosis or edema with palpable dorsalis pedis
pulses.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was taken to the cardiac
catheterization laboratory and catheterization revealed
diffuse disease of the left anterior descending artery, a 40%
ostial lesion of the left main coronary artery, a 90%
proximal lesion of the left circumflex coronary artery and a
100% mid lesion of the right coronary artery. An
intra-aortic balloon pump was placed, the patient was
transferred to the unit and the cardiac surgery service was
consulted.
On the following day, the intra-aortic balloon pump was
removed and the patient was managed medically and stabilized.
On [**2185-9-26**], the patient underwent coronary artery bypass
grafting times four. She received a left internal mammary
artery graft to the left anterior descending artery and
saphenous vein grafts to the first obtuse marginal artery and
right posterolateral vein as a sequential graft as well as
another saphenous vein graft to the diagonal artery.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred
to the unit in stable condition. The patient was maintained
on milrinone drip at 0.5 mg overnight, which was weaned on
the following day. The patient was also extubated without
any problems and she was transferred to the floor on
postoperative day #1.
On postoperative day #2, the patient was noted to be
extremely stable as she remained afebrile with stable vital
signs. She had mild hypertension and thus her Lopressor was
increased from 25 to 50 mg p.o. b.i.d. Her Zestril was also
increased from 5 to 10 mg p.o. q.d. Her chest tubes were
removed and the physical therapy service was consulted. Upon
the physical therapy consultant's recommendation, it was
deemed that the patient would benefit best from a
rehabilitation stay.
On postoperative day #3, the patient remains afebrile with
stable vital signs. Her blood pressure is well controlled
with a heart rate of 75 and a blood pressure of 100/50. All
of her chest tubes and pacing wires have been removed. The
patient is currently awaiting rehabilitation placement. She
will discharged to rehabilitation, as soon as a
rehabilitation bed is available.

Service: CSU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 58850**] is a 63-year-old
male with a known history of coronary artery disease, status
post a silent myocardial infarction in [**2143**], who presented to
[**Hospital3 1280**] Hospital Emergency Department this morning with
8/10 chest pain, epigastric distress, nausea, and shortness
of breath. He had ST depressions laterally and ST elevations
in V1. These resolved with intravenous nitroglycerin and
Lopressor in the Emergency Department.
He was taken for cardiac catheterization which revealed 3
plus calcified LAD with a 95 percent proximal occlusion, a 70
to 80 percent proximal circumflex lesion, and 100 percent
occluded RCA with collaterals. Echocardiogram revealed 1 to
2 plus mitral regurgitation, trace tricuspid regurgitation,
and an left ventricular ejection fraction of 30 percent. He
was placed on intravenous Integrilin and transferred to [**Hospital1 1444**] for coronary artery bypass
grafting.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease.
2. Myocardial infarction.
3. Hypertension.
4. Hypercholesterolemia.
5. Sleep apnea (with BiPAP).
6. Status post abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with two
endovascular stents followed by surgical repair with a
questionable open bypass of the left femoral artery in
[**2152-2-28**] at [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 3075**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] Hospital.
7. Status post carpal tunnel repair in [**2152-10-30**] with
a brief period of postoperative atrial fibrillation. The
patient admits to not taking his medications at that time.
He was treated with Coumadin for one month without further
atrial fibrillation.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient quit smoking nine years ago. He
had an 80-pack-year history. He admitted for four to six
beers a day for significant alcohol abuse. He is married and
lives with his wife and works as a plant manager.
MEDICATIONS AT HOME: Atenolol 100 mg p.o. once daily,
Lipitor 40 mg p.o. once daily, aspirin 325 mg p.o. once
daily, vitamin D, and fifth medicine is unclear.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: At [**Hospital3 1280**] Hospital he was
started on intravenous Integrilin, Lopressor, aspirin,
heparin, intravenous nitroglycerin, and antacids.
ALLERGIES: He has no known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Neurologically, he was
grossly intact without any carotid bruits. His lungs had a
few bibasilar crackles. His heart was regular in rate and
rhythm with S1 and S2. No murmurs noted. His abdomen was
slightly firm, distended, and nontender. His extremities
were warm without any edema with positive peripheral pulses.
SU[**Last Name (STitle) 42242**]OF HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was referred to Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) **] [**Last Name (Prefixes) **] on intravenous Integrilin, nitroglycerin,
and heparin. He had epigastric discomfort since his
admission which was increasing. Intravenous nitroglycerin
was also increased. This was discussed with Dr. [**Last Name (Prefixes) **]
and an emergent Cardiology consultation was ordered, but the
patient continued to have chest pain. He was seen by a
cardiologist. He continued to have chest pain. It was
determined the patient was unable to have an intraaortic
balloon pump placed for his continuing chest pain due to his
three endovascular stents.
The patient was seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 16646**] of Cardiology when he was
admitted. Preoperative laboratories were as follows. Sodium
was 137, potassium was 3.5, chloride was 99, bicarbonate was
30, blood urea nitrogen was 11, creatinine was 0.7, with a
blood sugar of 165. White count was 12.3, hematocrit was
42.9, and platelet count was 204,000. CK's went from 125 to
284 to 725 with troponin's from less than 0.04 to 1.75 to
3.38; ruling the patient in for a significant myocardial
infarction.
Th[**Last Name (STitle) 1050**] was taken to the Operating Room emergently that
evening and underwent emergent coronary artery bypass
grafting times three with a LIMA to the LAD, a vein graft to
the PDA, and a vein graft to the OM by Dr. [**Last Name (Prefixes) **]. He
was taken to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit in
critical condition on an epinephrine drip at 0.05 mcg/kg/min,
a nitroglycerin drip at 0.5 mcg/kg/min, a titrated propofol
drip, and a Neo-Synephrine drip at 1 mcg/kg/min.
In the immediate postoperative period the patient developed
several problems. The first was atrial fibrillation which
was treated with an amiodarone bolus and started on an
intravenous drip. He ultimately required cardioversion by
anesthesia and then later repeat cardioversion by
Electrophysiology. The second significant incident was the
patient's liver function tests rose dramatically given his
significant alcohol abuse. A Critical Care consultation was
also called. The patient was clearly undergoing alcohol
withdrawal and developed delirium tremens. He was continued
on amiodarone. Within a day or two he was also seen by the
Clinical Nutrition team as the Critical Care team was
evaluating his nutritional status and liver function. He
remained in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit all that
week.
On [**1-12**], he continued with an inability to wean from
the respirator. He developed atelectasis which was apparent
on his chest x-ray and significant copious secretions. He
was awake and was on CPAP with pressure support but continued
to require significant pulmonary toilet and was unable to
wean from the ventilator. Given these secretions, blood
cultures were also sent in addition to sputum cultures. An
evaluation by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] [**Name (STitle) **] of the Critical Care Pulmonary
Service was obtained. The patient's blood cultures grew out
gram-positive cocci and sputum secretions grew out coagulase-
positive Staphylococcus. The patient was started empirically
the next day on vancomycin, Levaquin, and fluconazole.
An Infectious Disease consultation was called. The patient
was seen by Infectious Disease on [**1-13**]. Please refer
to their official consultation note. In addition, the
patient remained on amiodarone, digoxin, and was started on
carvedilol for beta blockade and management of his atrial
fibrillation which continued to be an issue. Clearly, given
his respiratory failure, there was great concern about the
process going on in his lungs. When the cultures came back,
the sensitivities showed a sensitivity to oxacillin. The
bronchoscopy secretion and alveolar lavage which was done by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] showed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Blood cultures showed methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus
aureus that came back on [**1-13**]. The patient was changed
over. His vancomycin, levofloxacin, and fluconazole were
stopped given the lack of sensitivities to his bacteria, and
he was switched to intravenous oxacillin.
The patient was also initially evaluated by Physical Therapy.
He had again failed an extubation wean; again failed in his
ability to attempt to wean for extubation on [**1-12**] prior
to his bronchoscopy which necessitated a Pulmonary
consultation. Given the fact that the patient had very
little mobility at that time, heparin was also started for
anticoagulation in preparation for Coumadin starting for
anticoagulation for his atrial fibrillation. Additional
blood cultures and sensitivities came back, and the patient
was switched back to vancomycin approximately on [**1-20**].
On [**1-21**], he continued to markedly improve on the CPAP
and was ultimately extubated. The patient continued to have
mental status issues with confusion and disorientation - from
which he would rapidly reorient but then become significantly
confused again. The patient had some doses of Haldol to help
with this and continued to be dosed with Coumadin once daily
in an effort to get him anticoagulated.
Finally, on [**1-23**], the patient was transferred to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**]
Two. The patient had been treated all along for his delirium
tremens and alcohol withdrawal under the direction of the
Critical Care team and was on an Ativan drip.
On [**1-21**], his white count increased from 12.2 to 12.5.
His hematocrit remained stable at 34.6 with a normal platelet
count. His creatinine was 0.8. A transesophageal
echocardiogram was ordered to rule out endocarditis, and this
was done by Cardiology. This was performed on [**1-25**]
prior to his discharge and showed no vegetations, a mildly
thickened aortic valve, a mildly thickened mitral valve, with
mild 1 plus mitral regurgitation, and no evidence of
endocarditis.
The patient continued to be evaluated and worked on by
Physical Therapy and the nurses for significant pulmonary
toilet as well as physical therapy while he was out on the
floor. He remained on a heparin drip as he became
therapeutic with his Coumadin. He was receiving albuterol as
needed, and Combivent, and Flovent to assist with his
pulmonary toilet. He also remained on carvedilol.
Lisinopril had been started at 5 mg also. The patient
continued to rapidly improve on postoperative day 22. He was
encouraged to ambulate and to increase his oral intake. If
the patient ruled out for endocarditis - which he did - he
was to be switched over from intravenous vancomycin to oral
linezolid and then planned for discharge to home.
On postoperative day 23 - the day prior to his discharge -
his laboratories were as follows. White count was 10.9, the
hematocrit was 31.3, and the platelet count was 407,000. The
PT was 17.2, PTT was 64.3, and INR was 1.9 on both heparin
and Coumadin. Sodium was 137, potassium was 5.2, chloride
was 96, bicarbonate was 30, blood urea nitrogen was 19,
creatinine was 1.1, with a blood sugar of 109. The patient's
weight was 71.6 (down from his preoperative weight of 81
kilograms). He was saturating 94 percent on room air and was
hemodynamically stable and doing very well with a blood
pressure of 110/66. The respiratory rate was 18. In a sinus
rhythm at 68. He was alert and oriented and nonfocal. His
lungs were clear bilaterally. His sternum was stable with no
drainage or erythema. He had bowel sounds. No peripheral
edema. His left leg incision saphenous vein graft site was
healing well. His central venous line had been removed. The
pacing wires had been removed. No chest tubes were in place
as these had been removed days before. He was switched over
to linezolid 600 mg p.o. twice daily. Heparin was
discontinued. The patient received Coumadin 3-mg dose that
evening in preparation for increasing his INR. His heparin
was discontinued that night. He was gain evaluated by Case
Management so he could be discharged to home with VNA
services.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: On postoperative day [**1-22**] - the patient was discharged to home with VNA services.
He was in a sinus rhythm at 73. The blood pressure was 97/51
and was saturating 97 percent on room air with an
unremarkable and much improved physical examination.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Status post emergent coronary artery bypass grafting times
three.
2. Coronary artery disease.
3. Ethanol abuse and status post withdrawal.
4. Myocardial infarction.

REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
evaluate gallbladder, duct; please measure CBD
INDICATION: 66-year-old male with gallstone pancreatitis and
concern for common bile duct dilatation.
RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT ULTRASOUND: The liver demonstrates a 1.8 x
1.6 x 1.5 cm well circumscribed echogenic focus of the posterior
right hepatic lobe compatible with a hemangioma. The gallbladder
is contracted and contains sludge and a few small stones. There
is no pericholecystic fluid. The contracted state of the
gallbladder causes apparent wall thickening. There is no intra-
or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The common bile duct
measures 3-4 mm. There is no ascites. Incompletely visualized is
a right pleural effusion. The pancreas is not well seen due to
overlying bowel gas. There is appropriate hepatopetal portal
venous flow. The right kidney is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Contracted gallbladder with small stones and sludge.
2. No intra- or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, with the
common duct measuring 3-4 mm.

INTERPRETATION:
Findings:
LEFT ATRIUM: Normal LA size.
RIGHT ATRIUM/INTERATRIAL SEPTUM: Normal RA size. Lipomatous
hypertrophy of the
interatrial septum.
LEFT VENTRICLE: Normal LV wall thickness, cavity size, and
systolic function
(LVEF>55%). Suboptimal technical quality, a focal LV wall motion
abnormality
cannot be fully excluded.
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion.
AORTA: Mildly dilated aortic root.
AORTIC VALVE: Normal aortic valve leaflets. No AR.
MITRAL VALVE: Normal mitral valve leaflets with trivial MR.
TRICUSPID VALVE: Normal tricuspid valve leaflets with trivial
TR. Mild PA
systolic hypertension.
PERICARDIUM: There is an anterior space which most likely
represents a fat
pad, though a loculated anterior pericardial effusion cannot be
excluded.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows.
Suboptimal
image quality - ventilator. Based on [**2133**] AHA endocarditis
prophylaxis
recommendations, the echo findings indicate a low risk
(prophylaxis not
recommended). Clinical decisions regarding the need for
prophylaxis should be
based on clinical and echocardiographic data.
Conclusions:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity
size, and systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%). Due to
suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic root is
mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets appear structurally
normal with good
leaflet excursion. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is
mild pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is an anterior space which
most likely
represents a fat pad.
IMPRESSION: Preserved global biventricular systolic function.
Mild pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension.
Based on [**2133**] AHA endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the
echo findings
indicate a low risk (prophylaxis not recommended). Clinical
decisions
regarding the need for prophylaxis should be based on clinical
and
echocardiographic data.

Reason: Intracranial process causing sedation and coma
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
66 year old man with pancreatitis, Off all sedation but not
responding neurologically
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
Intracranial process causing sedation and coma
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
INDICATION: 66-year-old male with history of pancreatitis. The
patient is now off all sedation but not responding.
COMPARISONS: No comparisons are available.
TECHNIQUE: CT of the head without IV contrast.
FINDINGS: There are very severe periventricular hypodensities.
These are more severe in the bilateral frontal lobes where there
is loss of the [**Doctor Last Name 352**]- white matter differentiation at some point.
There is also encephalomalacia and atrophy involving
predominantly the right temporal lobe. There is a lacunar
infarct within the left thalamus. The ventricles are prominent.
The above findings are most likely secondary to chronic ischemic
changes and chronic infarcts. There are calcifications in the
falx. There is no evidence of herniation. There is no evidence
of hemorrhage, shift of normally midline structures. No evidence
of mass effect. There is mild opacification of the bilateral
maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinuses, and sphenoid sinuses. There is
severe septal deviation to the right side. The NG tube is coiled
in the nasopharynx. There is mild opacification of the external
auditory canal bilaterally (left greater than right), correlate
with physical examination. There is mild opacification of the
bilateral mastoid air cells.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of hemorrhage.
2. Chronic encephalomalacic changes likely representing chronic
infarcts and chronic ischemia.
3. Mild opacification of the paranasal sinus, and mastoid air
cells as was described above. The feeding tube is coiled within
the nasopharynx.
If indicated, MRI could be performed for further evaluation.
OBJECT: PANCREATITIS. R/O SEIZURE.
REFERRING DOCTOR: DR. [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) **] [**Initial (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]
FINDINGS:
ABNORMALITY #1: Brief polymorphic bursts of moderate to, at
times,
moderately high voltage mixed frequency slower theta were seen
bifrontally, without clear laterality at times in a somewhat
bursting
character. No associated sharp or spike activity was seen.
BACKGROUND: Well-formed and moderately well-sustained moderate
voltage
10 Hz activity was seen biposteriorly present without
significant
asymmetry. The anterior-posterior voltage gradient was
preserved.
HYPERVENTILATION: Not performed.
INTERMITTENT PHOTIC STIMULATION: Not performed.
CARDIAC MONITOR: No arrhythmias noted.
IMPRESSION: Normal EEG due to some bifrontal slow bursts.
Whether this
represents increased cortical hyperreactivity related to
subcortical or
deeper midline structures increased irritability is uncertain.
No
definitive spike discharges were seen. No persistent slowing
suggestive
of a destructive or structural process could be seen.

prominent improvement of bilateral pulmonary edema with
decreased bilateral, mostly on the left, pleural effusion.
IMPRESSION:
1. Low position of the ET tube.
2. Marked improvement with almost complete resolution of
pulmonary edema and decrease in left pleural effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. Pancreatitis: Amylase and lipase were very elevated on
admission to [**Location (un) **] (AST and ALT mildly elevated). US and CT
were suspicious for gallstones in cystic duct with dilation of
CBD. Persistent fevers are concerning for necrotic pancreas, and
most recent CT had findings suspicious for phlegmon. He was
started on meropenem, and vancomycin was added when he continued
to have fevers. Cultures have been negative, but he is growing
klebsiella from sputum.
- will continue meropenem (d6)/vanco (d2)
- continue IVF with goal CVP>12, MAP>65
- will review OSH radiology (CT scans)
- ERCP consult given concern for stones in duct
- repeat cultures
- TPN for now given ileus
- insulin gtt for tight control
- protonix daily
.
2. ?PNA: CXR concerning for pna at left base, with klebsiella in
sputum
- continue meropenem/ vanco
- repeat sputum culture
- repeat CXR (?tappable effusion)
.
3. Respiratory failure: hypercarbic, ?in setting of sepsis
- will ck ABG, wean vent as tolerated
- treat PNA, may need to tap effusion
- fentanyl and versed for sedation
- [**4-25**] trach'ed
.
4. Ileus: will repeat KUB, NGT to suction if necessary, NPO with
TPN
.
5. NSVT: will continue amio gtt, is currently hemodynamically
stable, will shock if unstable rhythm
- t/c cards input if ectopy persists

CT Head:
1. No acute intracranial hemorrhage.
2. Mild sinomucosal disease in the ethmoid sinus.
3. Opacification of some of the left mastoid air cells;
correlate clinically.
CXR:
Heart size is mildly enlarged given technique and mediastinal
and hilar contours are normal. There is diffuse airspace
opacification. An ET tube is in place with its tip located 4 cm
from the carina. An NG tube is seen with its tip projecting over
the gastric bubble; the side-hole port is not clearly
identified. There is no significant pleural effusion,
pneumothorax, or obvious osseous abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
1. Standard position of ET tube and likely of the NG tube,
although side-hole port is not clearly demonstrated below the
diaphragm.
2. Diffuse airspace opacification likely represents pulmonary
edema, in this clinical context.
EEG:
This telemetry showed a continued burst suppression record.
There were frequent truncal myoclonic jerks evident on video.
These
correlated with movement artifact on EEG. Although there were
sharp
waves as part of the bursts during the burst suppression record,
sharp
activity was not particularly rhythmic nor suggestive of ongoing
electrographic seizures or status epilepticus. Overall, the
recording
is most suggestive of anoxic myoclonus and an extremely severe
encephalopathy.
Brief Hospital Course:
# s/p PEA arrest: The patient was successfully revived after
his PEA arrest. The causative [**Doctor Last Name 360**] for his arrest was thought
to be hypoxia in the setting of fluid overload. His
hemodynamics improved with diuresis and positive pressure
ventilation.
.
# Post anoxic myoclonus/ Status epilepticus: The patient
underwent arctic sun cooling protocol. EEG consistent with
seizure activity. Patient was loaded with valproate and
phenytoin which were adjusted based on level. Repeat EEG showed
disorganized function. Given his anoxic brain injury and
non-convulsive status, his prognosis for meaningful recovery was
very poor. He was appointed a guardian by the court. Prior to
this the team was prepared to place PEG and trach, but delayed
this given that the team was recommending to the guardian, once
she could be appointed, that the patient should be made CMO.
Ultimately, a PEG was not placed. He did not show any signs of
responsiveness or meaningful indepedent motor or verbal activity
during any part of the admission.
.
# Coronary Artery Disease: The patient was maintained on a
regimen of aspirin 325, clopidogrel 75, lisinopril 10,
atorvastatin 80, and metoprolol throughout his stay until he was
CMO.
.
# Fevers: The patient had an observed aspiration in the context
of his emergent intubation. He was initially treated with ten
days of azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and clindamycin. He
continued to have fevers. BCx showed GPC and he was started on
vancomycin, which was discontinued when cultures failed to grow
organisms. Sputum culture grew pseudomonas and enterococcus.
He was given zosyn and cipro for VAP per with defervescence
lasting > 10 days. However, he became febrile again. Repeat
culture showed GNR by gram stain, thought likely to be a
colonizer. CT of his sinuses showed miltifocal opacities
possibly demonstrating acute sinusitis. Antibiotics were
continued. He had significant eosinophilia later in the
admission suggesting the possibility of a drug reaction but
ultimately as this was not clearly creating clinical
consequences antibiotics and other medications were continued
until he was made CMO.
.
# Red eye: developed red eye on [**3-15**], began having serosanguinous
drainage on [**3-16**]. optho saw patient and believe is chemosis.
Recommended non-antibiotic ointment. This improved with
diuresis.
.
# Pump: Earlier in the admission he became total body fluid
overloaded and was diuresed with improvement. He was kept
euvolemic for the remainder of his stay.
.
# DM: During much of his stay he was strikingly insulin
resistant. He was managed with ISS and glargine.
.
# Proph: PPI, bowel regimen, pneumoboots. dc'd sc heparin for
elevated PTT and oozing from injection sites.
.
# Goals of care and code status: Patient was initially full
code. After guardian was appointed, it was ultimately made
comfort measures only after a court order to appoint a guardian
and allow DNR/CMO late in the day on the [**10-14**]. On the 6th
of [**Month (only) 116**], after consultation with the guardian, he was extubated,
most medications were discontinued and he was kept on a morphine
drip for respiratory comfort. He was breathing without apparent
distress and ultimately died while remaining apparently
comfortable; at 10:55 AM on [**4-15**] he was pronounced. Prior to
this a chaplain was called to administer last rites in keeping
with what appeared to have been the religious beliefs of the
patient.
.
# Disposition: Patient died on [**2178-4-15**].

Chief Complaint:
s/p fall
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Endotracheal intubation
History of Present Illness:
This is a 21 year old female who fell down a flight of stairs
and was found at the bottom with possible head trauma. Witnesses
did not recall any seizure-like activity.
On later questioning the patient reported having lost 25 pounds
over the past month while taking Brazilian diet pills, with
accompanying orthostasis, polydypsia, polyuria and dry mouth.
She said she fell down the stairs in the context of presyncope
and she believes she lost consciousness. She had no other
syptoms prior to admission; no URI symptoms, UTI symptoms,
shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, history of
siezures, or focal neurologic complaints.

MRA, MRV: negative
CT abd/pelvis: 1.6cm fatty lesion in liver
CT C-spine: negative
ECG: normal (24 hour tele)
Carotid US: normal
Serum/urine tox: normal
Brief Hospital Course:
Upon arrival the patient was responsive only to painful stimuli
and was intubated for a GCS of 10 and respiratory difficulty.
There were no obvious signs of trauma on evaluation and no
fractures or internal injuries were identified. There was no
evidence of bowel or bladder incontIn the ED she had some
episodes of activity not entirely consistent with but concerning
for seizure. Neurology and Neurosurgery were consulted and
evaluated the patient in the ED.
The patient was admitted to the Trauma ICU and self-extubated
later that day, remaining stable afterwards. On the following
day she had some episodes of tachypnea and/or apnea with return
of flickering eye movements, and she was re-intubated.
The patient was extubated without problems and monitored on
telemetry in the ICU for another day with no events. She was
transferred to the floor on telemetry and again had no return of
apneic or hypoxic events. Her electrolytes remained within
normal limits and she had no other complaints.
She was evaluated by Medicine as well as Neurology and
Neurosurgery, with no clear etiology found and a normal EEG. The
most likely explanation at the time of discharge was
drug-induced orthostasis combined with anxiety-associated
hyperventilation. The patient was encouraged to follow up with
her physician or the Trauma Surgery clinic and to return to an
ER if any symptoms returned. She was also encouraged to avoid
diet pills and have adequate food and liquid intake, along with
taking slow deep breaths when anxious.

3. Dilated esophagus due to esophagus dysmotility.
[**2188-12-11**] Ba swallow :
Dilated proximal esophagus with narrowing distally at the site
of the prior Nissen. This likely reflects worsening stenosis in
the Nissen fundoplication.
[**2188-12-15**] EGD :
The esophagus appeared tortuous and dilated with solid food
retained within. The lower esophagael sphincter was open without
pathological narrowing - the scope easily passed through. These
findings are suggestive of an esophagael motility disorder
rather than a mechanical obstruction.
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum
Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was admitted to the hospital and taken to the
Operating Room where she underwent a right thoracotomy with
tracheoplasty and bronchoplasty (see formal Op note for further
details). She tolerated the procedure well and returned to the
SICU in stable condition. She was extubated and placed on a non
rebreather with adequate saturations. Her pain was controlled
via an epidural catheter with Bupivacaine and a Dilaudid PCA.
She maintained stable hemodynamics and stayed in the SICU for 48
hours for pulmonary toilet. Her chest tube was removed on
[**2188-12-7**] and her post pull film showed a small right
pneumothorax and low lung volumes.
Following transfer to the Surgical floor she continued to make
slow progress. She was maintained on bronchodilators, Chest PT
and used her incentive spirometer though not always effectively.
Her right thoracotomy incision was healing well without
erythema or drainage. She complained of some dysphagia and was
evaluated by the speech and swallow therapist who felt that all
of her symptoms were related to her pre op GERD as opposed to a
swallowing problem. She was placed on her pre op motility
agents and PPI but continued to complain of epigastric pain and
nausea with all foods/liquids. A barium swallow was done which
revealed a dilated proximal esophagus with some narrowing
distally, possibly at the site of her prior Nissen. She then
underwent an EGD and the scope passed easily without
obstruction. The esophagus showed evidence of reflux.
In the interim she was placed on TPN to help maintain her
caloric needs. After no new pathology was identified a diet was
reinstituted and she was able to take small frequent meals. The
psychiatric service was also consulted as she appeared
depressed, discouraged and difficult to engage in her care.
They felt that her symptoms were magnified by her anxiety and
recommended continuing Ativan and increasing her Gabapentin.
As her oral intake improved though modestly, her TPN was
discontinued on [**2188-12-17**]. Her blood sugars were in good control
and she was encouraged to eat upright at all times, take small
frequent portions of soft, mushy foods and avoid bread.
Due to her history of Factor 5 Leiden deficiency the
hematologist recommended that she be maintained on 4 weeks of
anticoagulation post op. She is on Lovenox which should
continue through [**2189-1-2**] and she is able to administer it to
herself.
After a lengthy stay she was discharged on 11/1011 to home with
VNA services including Physical Therapy and she will follow up
in the Thoracic Clinic in 2 weeks.

pCXR [**2173-9-17**]:
IMPRESSION: Small left pleural effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
75M with CAD s/p CABGx2 and multiple caths, EF 35%, moderate AS,
PPM DM2, who now presents with shortness of breath and
tachycardia. Diagnosed with acute on chronic systolic heart
failure exacerbation with troponin leak.
.
1. Cardiac:
a. Coronaries:
The patient had no chest pain symptoms, though was found to have
elevated troponins in the setting of CHF. The peak troponin was
up to 0.35, peak CK 173, MB 18. These were noted to be trending
dow. The mild enzyme elevation was likely attributable to CHF vs
demand ischemia. There is a history of CAD s/p cabg x2. Cath
[**3-6**] at [**Hospital1 1774**] revealed patent grafts. The patient was continued
on aspirin, plavix, lipitor 80, Beta blocker.
.
b. Pump:
The patient presented intially with CHF and he was diuresed to
euvolemic. There is a history of CHF with EF 35%. He was
continued on beta blocker and ACE.
.
c. Rhythm:
There is a history of paroxysmal afib on coumadin. Pacemaker was
for for 2:1 AV block [**6-4**]. In the ED, the patient was noted to
have a complex rhythm which showed pacer spikes. This was
consistent with an SVT with pacer tracking. There was initially
concern in the ED for possible ventricular tachycardia though
review of the ECG strip by cardiology confirmed that this was
not the case. The ECG showed a sinus tachycardia with
ventricular pacing.
.
d. Valves:
There is a history of aortic stenosis, [**Location (un) 109**] 1.1 mean gradient 32
by cath at [**Hospital1 1774**] [**2173-3-12**]. The plan is for non-operative
management per Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] since pt is a poor surgical candidate and
has complex aortic atheroma
.
2. Epistaxis:
There was heavy bleeding on presentation, enough to fill a cup
or two per the patient. This was controlled with the nasal
packing by ENT. The packing was left in place until the day
prior to discharge. Coumadin was held initially. The plan for
anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy was discussed with the
patient's outpatient cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] recommended
continuing dual anti-platelet therapy given the concern for
stent thrombosis, which the patient was assessed as high risk
for this given his coronary anatomy. He had taxus stent in [**12-6**].
The plan was to pursue a lower INR target for anticoagulation
from 1.8 - 2.5, though this would be recalibrated to 2.0 - 3.0
as an outpatient if there was no further bleeding.
.
DM2:
The patient was continued on insulin and sliding scale.

ALLERGIES: Sulfa/rash. Keflex/diarrhea.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives alone in assisted
facility. The patient denies tobacco and alcohol use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient is pleasant and
cooperative in no acute distress. Temperature is 98.7, pulse
84, blood pressure 124/64, heart rate 18, oxygen saturation
100% in room air. Mucous membranes are moist. Lungs are
clear to auscultation bilaterally, decreased breath sounds
inferiorly. Heart irregular rhythm, regular rate, II/VI
systolic ejection murmur. The abdomen is obese, soft,
nontender. Extremities - 2+ edema, warm.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood cell count was 8.6, hematocrit
31.2, platelet count 150,000. Sodium 142, potassium 4.0,
chloride 103, bicarbonate 25, blood urea nitrogen 100,
creatinine 2.7, glucose 115. Prothrombin time 14.9, partial
thromboplastin time 33.6, INR 1.5. Urinalysis negative.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to Medicine
service and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. Surgery was
consulted. Nasogastric tube was placed. The patient was
typed and crossed and transfused to keep her hematocrit above
30.0. Red blood cell scan was performed. The patient's
coagulopathy was reversed with Vitamin K and fresh frozen
plasma. On hospital day number two, the patient is afebrile
and vital signs are stable. The patient continued to have
some bright red blood per rectum, transfused to keep
hematocrit above 30.0. Bleeding scan localized bleeding into
the area of the cecum. Gastroenterology was also consulted
who at that time recommended correcting coagulopathy and
conservative management. The patient remained in the
Intensive Care Unit for observation. Her bleeding has
stopped by itself. She was transferred to the floor on
[**2142-6-22**]. The patient again started bleeding with bright red
blood per rectum and hematocrit dropped (anemia). The
patient was again typed and crossed and transfused to keep
hematocrit above 30.0. Surgery was reconsulted. At that
time, the patient's bleeding stopped by itself. Surgery
requested cardiology consultation. The patient had a
Swan-Ganz catheter placed for cardiac monitoring. She was
also started on Lopressor for cardiac prophylaxis. However,
overnight, the patient started bleeding again. She was then
taken to the operating room on [**2142-6-24**], for right
hemicolectomy. Please see operative note for details. The
patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred back
to Intensive Care Unit in stable condition.
Postoperative day number one, the patient is afebrile and
vital signs are stable. She is diuresing well and unable to
wean off ventilator due to edema. She was started on TPN for
failure to thrive. She was also placed on Vancomycin,
Levofloxacin and Flagyl (Vancomycin for Staphylococcus aureus
urinary tract infection). She also was started on Lasix,
however, she did not really respond well to it and it was
stopped. The patient continued diuresis. The patient had a
couple episodes of bradycardia down to high 30s, low 40s.
Her Lopressor was stopped which improved her bradycardia
(heart rate in high 50s and low 60s). The patient self
extubated on postoperative day number three. Nasogastric
tube was removed. She was started on sips and advanced to
clears which she was tolerating well. She continued on TPN.
She started with physical therapy. She continued on
Vancomycin for urinary tract infection until second urine
culture came back positive.
On postoperative day number four, the patient is afebrile and
vital signs are stable. She was started on p.o. medications.
She was also restarted on Cozaar for blood pressure control.
Second culture came back as MSSA. The patient was switched
to Oxacillin. The patient was transferred to regular floor.
Her Foley was removed. At renal service suggestion, she was
started on Epogen and Zaroxolyn. Her diet was advanced to
regular diabetic diet which she was tolerating well. She was
walking with physical therapy.
On postoperative day five and six, the patient is afebrile
and vital signs are stable. She is ambulating a few steps
and moving from bed to chair with physical therapy. The
wound is clean, dry and intact. She is confused at times,
however, this is the patient's baseline. Otherwise, she is
stable with no concerns, no active issues at this time.

blood pressure 111/85, O2 sats 97% on room air. HEENT exam:
There is no JVD or carotid bruits. Pulses are palpable 2+
bilaterally. Lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally.
Heart is of regular rate and rhythm without murmur, gallop or
rub. Abdomen is mildly distended, nontender, with bowel
sounds x4. There are no abdominal bruits or masses.
Extremity exam shows left foot is pale, cool, without
lesions. The right foot is with 2 to 3+ edema, white toes
with erythema at the toes extending to the ankle. The foot
is cool. Pulse exam shows 2+ femoral pulses with 1+
popliteal, BP, and PT bilaterally. Neurological exam:
Oriented x person and place, nonfocal.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the Vascular
service. Wound cultures were obtained and she was begun on
triple antibiotic therapy of vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and
Flagyl. Wound culture Gram stain showed no polys or
microorganisms. The wound culture was finalized as no
growth. Renal was consulted for hemodialysis and the patient
was continued on her preadmission schedule for Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. The patient's INR on admission was
2.9. Epo was started at 22,000 units at dialysis. A long
discussion was held with the family, amputation versus
bypass, given the patient had poor outflow and questionable
graft patency, was presented to the family. They were
adamantly against amputation. The patient proceeded to
surgery after being evaluated by Cardiology who felt that
patient was at moderate risk for a perioperative event. Her
medications were adjusted to improve her blood pressure and
heart rate for a goal of systolic pressure of 120-140 and a
pulse rate of 60 or less. The cellulitis improved and edema
improved with antibiotics and bedrest. The patient underwent
on [**2141-9-26**], a right fem-DP bypass graft in situ
saphenous vein angioscopy. The patient tolerated the
procedure well and was extubated and transferred to the PACU
in stable condition. On arrival to the PACU, the foot was
cold, there was no signal in the graft. The patient returned
to the OR and underwent a thrombectomy of the right femoral
DP bypass x2. The patient was extubated and returned to the
PACU. The graft pulse was marginal after the second surgery
and decision was made if the graft failed that no further
surgical intervention would be attempted. The patient
remained intubated overnight and in the PACU. Postoperative
day 1 there were no overnight events. The patient was weaned
off Neo-Synephrine for systolic blood pressure control. The
patient was weaned off __________. She underwent
hemodialysis and then was attempted at extubation.
Postoperative day 2 there were no overnight events. The
patient was afebrile. The patient was extubated the day
prior and was transferred to the VICU for continued
monitoring of care. She was continued on triple antibiotics
with vanco, Cipro, and Flagyl. We will continue to follow
the patient for her hemodialysis needs. She was transfused 1
unit of packed red blood cells for a hematocrit of 26.
Postoperative day 3 overnight events: The patient experienced
chest pain with ST depressions. She was given aspirin and
nitroglycerin with relief of her symptoms. The patient
continued to do well from a cardiac standpoint. Arterial
studies were done on [**2141-10-2**] which showed on the
right foot 3 mm pressure wave tracings and on the left 2 mm.
Post transfusion hematocrit was 29.3. The patient remained
on argatroban for her history of heparin allergy. __________
was restarted on [**2141-10-1**] for regained Doppler
signals in the left foot that had been initially lost.
Physical therapy was requested through the patient for
evaluation for discharge planning. Case management was
consulted to assist in discharge planning needs. The patient
will be discharged when medically stable per PT's evaluation.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Include levothyroxine 75 mg daily,
__________ 10 mg daily, calcium carbonate 1000 mg t.i.d.,

Wednesday and Friday, and 1 mg Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, lisinopril was started for her systolic
hypertension at 5 mg daily.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: She may ambulate essential
distances. She should wear an Ace from foot to knee on the
right side when ambulating. She should keep the right foot
and leg elevated in a chair. She should continue her
Coumadin for history of thrombus and heparin allergy and take
as directed. The goal INR is 2.0-3.0. She should follow up
with her primary care physician for monitoring of her INR and
adjustment of her Coumadin dosing as required. We have made
arrangements for her to see hematologist because of her
history of clotting problems, please keep that appointment.

Service: Medicine
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Miss [**Known lastname **] is a 48 year old woman
with a past medical history of hypothyroidism carrying the
diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus who presents from
[**Hospital3 35813**] Center in [**Doctor Last Name 792**]with Group A beta
hemolytic Strep sepsis, rash, anopsia, myalgia, arthralgia and
hypoxia, and respiratory failure requiring intubation.
She initially presented to [**Hospital3 35813**] Center on the evening
of [**4-19**], complaining of upper extremity pain and fever to 102.0
F. The pain was most severe in her left axilla and shoulder.
Four weeks prior to admission, she began having upper extremity
swelling and stiffness particularly in her hands. She was
prescribed Vioxx for her symptoms.
On the 1st, she was referred to a rheumatologist who prescribed
Prednisone 20 mg q. day and then she presented to the outside
hospital on the 4th complaining of fever, diarrhea, stiff joints
and puffiness in her hands. She decided to go the Emergency
Department particularly because her left arm and shoulder had
increased in pain.
She had an outside hospital course notable for increased
erythematous rash on the left arm, neck, and chest, increased
white blood cell count to 22.0 with bandemia approximately 10 to
12%, positive blood cultures, four out of four bottles drawn
on the 4th for Group A beta hemolytic strep. She initially was
started on Rocephin which was changed to penicillin and
clindamycin.
On [**5-22**], she developed wheezing, hypoxia and shortness of
breath. She was transferred to the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
She was intubated on the 7th. Chest x-rays showed evidence of
pulmonary edema but she had a normal transthoracic
echocardiogram, normal ejection fraction and no evidence of
vegetations at the outside hospital. She had a chest CT scan
that showed significant lymphadenopathy in the mediastinum,
axillae, retroperitoneum and supraclavicular regions with some
question of mediastinal fluid.
The patient has a distant history of a malar rash especially
related to photosensitivity, sun exposure. Her [**Doctor First Name **] was positive
1 to 320 at the outside rheumatologist's office on the first. The
CRP and ESR were also elevated, CRP to 144 and the ESR to 74.
There was some concern at the outside hospital, but at [**Hospital1 1444**] her platelets were normal. Her
INR was normal. Her fibrinogen was 653. On the date of
transfer to [**Hospital1 69**], the patient was
given one dose of intravenous IG at 36 grams times one. On
transfer she was hemodynamically stable without need for
pressors.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypothyroidism.
2. Systemic lupus erythematosus.
No coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, pulmonary or
renal disease.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER:
1. Synthroid 50 micrograms intravenous q. day.
2. Zantac intravenously q. 12.
3. Heparin subcutaneously.
4. Clindamycin 900 mg intravenous q. eight.
5. Intravenous IG 36 grams times one.
6. Ativan 2 to 4 grams intravenously.
7. Morphine sulfate 2 to 4 gram intravenous p.r.n.
8. At home the patient was taking Vioxx and Synthroid 100
micrograms q. day.
ALLERGIES: The patient denies any allergies, however, the
patient did have a rash to Dilaudid at the outside hospital.
LABORATORY: Microbiological data drawn on the [**5-20**], the
patient had four out of four bottles of Group A beta hemolytic
strep at the outside hospital.
EKG sinus tachycardia, normal axis, normal intervals. The
patient had ultrasound of the left upper extremity which revealed
no deep venous thrombosis; this was on the [**5-20**] at the
outside hospital.
The patient had a chest x-ray at the outside hospital on [**4-23**]
with parenchymal changes consistent with low grade edema,
vascular engorgement, congestive heart failure. The patient had a
CT scan of the chest as noted on the 5th, adenopathy in
mediastinum, retroperitoneal, axilla, supraclavicular regions
with small pericardial effusion. Possible question of
mediastinal fluid/mediastinitis.
Pertinent laboratory data at transfer: Lyme serology negative.
Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C negative. Parvovirus B19 negative.
Antistreptolysin 46, P-ANCA negative. Rheumatoid factor 19. [**Doctor First Name **]
positive 1:320, homogenous, anticentromere antibody negative. CRP
1 in 44; ESR 74; antismooth antibody negative. Ferritin 759.
Hemoglobin 9.1, hematocrit 27.4, white count 14.6 with 7 bands,
82 PMNs, one meta. INR 1.2, platelets 196. Sodium 131,
potassium 4.3, chloride 99, bicarbonate 21, anion gap 11, BUN 26,
creatinine 1.0, glucose 96. Albumin 2, total bilirubin 1.0, SGOT
62, down from 200; SGPT 40, down from 131.
CBC from the outside hospital on the 4th: her white blood
cell count was 22 with 11 bands. This decreased to 15.6 on
the day prior to transfer to 14.6 on the day of transfer.
Platelets on presentation were 219 the day prior to transfer,
196 on the day of transfer. TSH was 12.8, T4 was 6.6.
Ventilation settings at the time of transfer was AC-550 by
14, 50%, PEEP of 5 with an arterial blood gas of 7.33, 44,
151. She was on 15 of Propofol for sedation.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Pulse 78; blood pressure 120/70; 97%
on the above stated ventilator settings. Her intakes and
outputs were roughly on presentation the first 12 hours one
liter in and one liter out. Temperature at presentation was
99.8 F.; temperature maximum of 100.4 F.; she was sedated and
intubated. She had erythema in her right neck
supraclavicular region as well as her left breast and left
medial aspect of her arm. There is petechiae in her right
ankle. There was swelling and warmth in her shoulder,
deltoid and axilla region on the left hand side. Upon
palpation of these areas the patient would grimace, bite down
the ETT tube and become hypertension and tachycardic implying
pain in the region. HEENT: Pupils equally round and
reactive to light and accommodation. Neck with no jugular
venous distention. No bruit. Lungs were clear to
auscultation anteriorly however, there were scattered wheezes
bilaterally. Regular rate and rhythm. S1, S2. There is a I
to II systolic ejection murmur at the apex to axilla.
Abdomen was soft, normoactive bowel sounds, no
hepatosplenomegaly. Abdomen was mildly distended. Plus two
upper extremity edema in hands as well as plus one in the
feet. As stated earlier, the patient was sedated.
Ventilator settings at [**Hospital1 69**]
on presentation were AC40%, 550 by 16, volume approximately
8.8, PEEP of 8.
ASSESSMENT: This is a 48 year old woman with Group alpha beta
hemolytic strep sepsis transferred from the outside hospital.
She was hemodynamically stable, not on pressors, with report of
toxic shock syndrome but with normal renal and end-organ function
with the exception of Pulmonary status at presentation, with left
arm axilla pain at presentation.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. BETA HEMOLYTIC STREP SEPSIS: Unclear at the entry for
the source of the Group A beta hemolytic strep. The patient
denies symptoms of pharyngitis, however, there were reports later
on after discussion with the patient of excoriations and possibly
a dermatological portal of entry.
The infectious disease service was consulted, and the patient was
continued on penicillin and Clindamycin until the [**2178-5-3**], at which time penicillin was discontinued. The patient's
white count decreased to 6.4 on the 18th with no bands and 76
PMNs.
Given the patient's pain and significant adenopathy and CT scan
from the outside hospital, it was felt that the left shoulder was
indeed the portal source for the bacteremia. The patient had an
MRI on the [**4-25**] which showed edema and enhancement about
the left shoulder girdle, prominent tracking along the subclavian
and axillary vessels and in the subacromial and subdeltoid bursa,
fat and along the superficial surface of the deltoid and within
the anterior fibers of the deltoid. These findings are
consistent with inflammation making this highly suspicious for
soft tissue infection including focal myositis of the deltoid.
Both the Surgical and Orthopedic Teams felt that given the
patient's improvement clinically in terms of a white count and
examination of the left shoulder, that there was no indication to
have a surgical intervention. There was no focal collection of
fluid and although the patient seemed to have evidence of mild
myositis, there was no evidence of necrotizing fasciitis on
clinical examination.
The patient will require a total of three weeks of Clindamycin,
at which time the patient should get a repeat MRI to evaluate the
left shoulder, and then follow-up at Infectious Disease clinic
with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **].
2. FEVER: The patient's fever curve generally improved.
Although her baseline temperature was low grade 99 to 100.0
F., she had spike to 102.0 F. Multiple blood cultures were
drawn. The patient has blood cultures from the 19th, two
sets; 15th two sets; 12th two sets; 11th one set; 10th two
sets; 9th two sets. Only positive cultures were coagulase
negative Staphylococcus on the [**2178-4-30**].
The patient had had a PICC line on the [**2178-4-27**].
This PICC line was associated with hypotension and ventricular
tachycardia. The PICC line was placed at the bedside. The
patient had runs of ventricular tachycardia with blood pressure
into the 80s. The patient was bolused intravenous fluids. The
line was pulled back 8 cm with resolution of the abnormal heart
rhythm. Further x-ray was done which showed the tip of the
catheter PICC line still in the right ventricle. This was pulled
back an additional 4 cm. Due to the prolonged exposure of the
PICC line to the environment, when patient spiked on the 15th,
the PICC line was promptly removed. However, the patient
continued to have fevers even after this line was discontinued.
Despite a general improvement in her swelling of her left arm
and left soft tissues, continued maintenance of a white count in
the 6.0 range as well as good urine output and no focal symptoms,
one possibility was the Clostridium difficile infection, the
patient did not have diarrhea and had two negative cultures for
Clostridium difficile on the 12th. However, given the treatment
with clindamycin, this placed the patient at a high risk for
Clostridium difficile and it is noted that the patient should be
monitored for Clostridium difficile infections. If she has any
continued fevers, high white counts or diarrheal symptoms, that
Clostridium difficile toxin should be sent and empiric coverage
with Flagyl should be considered. A possible source of
the patient's fever was a reaction to beta lactate antibiotics,
particular penicillin. The patient had a maculopapular rash on
her left arm as well as on her flanks associated with fever
spikes in the context of taking penicillin with her clindamycin.
The patient had a urine culture on the [**4-24**] which showed
extended spectrum beta lactamase E. coli. Unclear whether this
was a colonizer or a pathogen but the patient had a Foley
catheter in place. The patient was treated with Ciprofloxacin
for five days and repeat urine cultures thereafter were negative.
3. HYPOXEMIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE: The patient was intubated
at the outside hospital. Shortly after being transferred to [**Hospital1 1444**], she was switched from AC to
pressure support and did well. The patient eventually did well
on the spontaneous breathing trial. The cuff was taken down and
the patient did not have a cuff leak around the balloon,
suggesting airway edema. The patient also had expiratory
wheezes. Given the patient's chest x-ray it was hypothesized the
wheezes might be secondary to volume overload as the patient
did not have any asthma history or reactive airway history.
The patient was given empiric treatment with intravenous
Lasix, but this did not improve the cuff leak around the ET tube.
However, it should be noted that the patient's pulmonary
edema/infiltrates that were reported at the outside hospital
improved as her infection improved after treatment course
progressed, most likely suggesting some degree of capillary leak
at the outside hospital.
The patient was brought to the Operating Room for extubation.
She had no supplemental oxygen requirement after four additional
days.
4. SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: The patient has a past
medical history consistent with possible systemic lupus
erythematosus.
Please see the next discharge summary for further details
regarding the patient's continued care.

Pt denies having Chest pain at all, however he is not a could
historian and is unclear of his presenting symptoms. Talked with
family, was SOB, and consfused upon admission. There are no EKG
changes, although it is hard to evaluate it in setting of LBBB.
Medically manage [**Name (NI) 7792**], pt did not get cath on admission
because to unstable on presentation. No cath at this time since
the ischemic event is complete. Unable to do stress test at
this time, can not exercise (fall risk), reluctant to do
dobutamine in setting of ACS, Persantine contraindicated in COPD
exacerbation. Will need chemical stress when COPD treatment
complete likely after pt d/c to rehab.

hypokinesis of the basal to mid septum and anterior wall, EF
30-35%. severe aortic valve stenosis (area 0.8-1.0cm2). Mild to
moderate ([**1-10**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate (2+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. BNP over 10,000 at admission. Depressed
EF likely [**2-10**] CAD given focal abnormailites. Hessitant to
aggressively overdiurese given severe AS. Records state on 20mg
PO lasix at home. Had incrased lasix to 60 PO daily with one
additional 10IV lasix dose in setting of increased crackles.
This caused a Cr increase to 1.7 and pt was orthostatic with PT
on [**8-28**]. Lasix stoped for 2 days now, had bolus IVF, with
improved BP and Cr and crackles on lung exam has also
diminished. [**Month (only) 116**] need to restart maintance dose of 20 PO lasix in
future. Continue lisinopril 5mg, BB.

#HTN - On BB, ACE, prn lasix. Pt was orthostatic [**8-28**] with SBP
to 80, improved BP with boluses
.
#PE: PE discovered on previous admission in [**Month (only) 205**]. Resolving
according to CTA on this admission. Recent for DVT and PE
unclear. Distant h/o Prostate CA. The pt will need
hypercoagulable / CA workup as outpt. There was concern that the
PE lead to the [**Month (only) 7792**] and SOB/COPD flare. Repeat LENIs showed
extension of R DVT, possibly to IVC. Therefore pt had IVC filter
placed [**8-27**]. Pt was on heparin gtt until [**8-29**], as Warfarin
became theraputic. INR now 2.0 on 4 straight measurements. On
Warfarin 5mg daily plus 2.5mg [**8-29**]. Continue to monitor INR
.
# Metabolic alkalosis: ABG gotten [**8-29**] because of high HCO3 and

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital because you were short of
breath and were confused at home. You were found to have a
heart attack ([**Doctor Last Name 7792**]) and be in heart failure (CHF) which
contributed to your shortness of breath. We are treating your
heart attack and heart failure with medicines. However your
fluid level continues to need adjustment and your lasix dose
with continue to be changed at the rehab facility. You will
need further testing (a stress test) of your heart after you are
finished being treated for your COPD exacerbation. You should
discuss this when you go for your cardiology appointment.
You also had an exacerbation of your COPD (breathing problem)
and are being treated with steroids, an antibiotic
(Levofloxacin), and breathing treatments.
You were found to have a blood clot in your right leg (DVT) as
well as your lungs (pulmonary embolus) on your previous
admission to the hospital. The imaging of your lungs during this
admission (CTA) showed that the clot in your lung is resolving.
However imaging of your leg showed that the clot is getting
bigger. Therefore you got a IVC filter placed in your vein to
prevent future clots in your lungs. You are also on blood
thinners to treat the clot
The CTA (chest imaging) also showed enlarged lymph nodes
"increasing mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy" of unclear
etiology which needs follow up imaging in 6 months. You should
discuss this with your doctor.
In is important that you continue your efforts to stop drinking
when you return home. You are at increased risk for seriously
bleeding becuase of blood thinner if you fall.
Weigh yourself every morning, [**Name8 (MD) 138**] MD if weight increases > 3
lbs.
Adhere to 2 gm sodium diet
.
Please stop smoking. Information was given to you on admission
regarding smoking cessation.
If you became acutely short of breath or develop chest pain you
should return to the Emergency room.

History of Present Illness:
48 yo M with hx of CAD, MI x2, CABG x4 [**1-13**], EF 15-20%, hx of VT
s/p ICD, multiple ICD shocks and noted slow VT, admitted to
[**Hospital3 17921**] Center in NH on [**2110-11-1**] after having his ICD
fire 10 times followed by few seconds of syncope despite being
on amiodarone and quinidine. He has been having recurrent VT
which was treated with amiodarone dose, quinidine, and increased
Beta-blocker. He reports that he could feel the PVC's and slow
VT's and could tell the threshold before having the syncopal
episode. He was recently cathed on [**9-12**] to rule out ischemic
component of dysrrhythmia which showed patent grafts. Since he
was discharged, he has had several ICD shocks and was treated
with increasing dose of B-blocker. On the day of admission to
[**Hospital3 17921**] Center, he had 10 ICD firings, one of which was
associtated with loss of consciousness for few seconds. At
[**Hospital3 17921**], pt was started on amiodarone and lidocaine
drips. ICD interrogation revealed a slow VT which was
terminated with pacing. He was also found to have another fast
VT. Now with AV (atrial/biventricular) pacing after device
reprogramming. Pt was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for VT ablation.
In the EP lab here, aggressive attempts were made to induce the
sustained VT but only short runs of short VT were induced.
Mapping and ablation of multiple foci of slow VT were done.
Fast monomorphic VT w/ LBBB/L axis occurred (not induced) which
were not pace terminable requiring shock 360 J x3 and then
converted to sinus rhythm.
EP History:
History of VT '[**08**] s/p ICD placement, hx of multiple recurrent
ICD shock between [**2108**]-[**2109**], hx of slow monophasic VT (580-590
msec) noted in 4/'[**09**], which was pace terminated and ICD
reprogrammed, upgrade to biventricular ICD [**2110-7-30**], VT ablation
[**2110-8-5**]. EP study on [**2110-9-10**] after having ICD firing after
rapid VT 320-360 msec which failed to terminate with pacing.
Study showed 4 episodes of sustained monomorphic VT (320-340
msec), series of ATP algorithms tested but no successful
termination + was ultimatley terminated with shock.

CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE TOXIN ASSAY (Final [**2110-11-6**]):
FECES NEGATIVE FOR C. DIFFICILE TOXIN BY EIA.
Reference Range: Negative.
CXR [**11-5**]: There is moderate cardiomegaly in a patient with
dual lead pacemaker insertion. The pacemaker chips overlie the
right atrium and ventricle. Patient has undergone prior CABG.
There is bilateral moderate pulmonary vascular redistribution
and perihilar haziness. The osseous structures are unremarkable.
CXR [**11-6**]: Stable moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly in a patient
status post CABG. The dual-lead pacemaker tips overlie the right
atrium and ventricle. There is a slightly improved pulmonary
vascular redistribution and interstitial edema. The osseous
structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Slight interval improvement in CHF.
[**11-6**]: CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITHOUT CONTRAST: Patchy opacity is
present within the right lung base which could represent
atelectasis. The liver, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, adrenal
glands, kidneys, and small bowel are normal in appearance. No
pathologically enlarged retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph
nodes are seen.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: There is focal fat stranding
within the pelvic fat surrounding the sigmoid colon. There are
multiple diverticula. There is extraluminal gas adjacent to this
area of fat stranding. There is no drainable fluid collection.
Oral contrast reaches the transverse colon indicating no
evidence of obstruction.
Bone windows show no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions.
REFORMATTED IMAGING: Images reformatted in the coronal and
sagittal plane were essential in evaluating the patient's
abdomen and pelvis and show fat stranding within the deep pelvis
adjacent to the sigmoid colon, indicating diverticulitis.
IMPRESSION: Sigmoid diverticulitis with a suggestion of
microperforation. No drainable fluid collection present.
AXR [**11-6**]: Left upper chest pacemaker device, sternal wires and
mediastinal clips are noted. The heart appears enlarged. There
is no free air. Images of the abdomen are of poor technical
quality. A nonspecific bowel gas pattern is noted.
AXR [**11-8**]: Gaseous distention of stomach and moderate gaseous
distention of multiple loops of small bowel with retained
contrast in the rectosigmoid colon. Findings could be related to
ileus in the presence of intra-abdominal inflammatory process
but correlate clinically. The gaseous distention of the stomach
could be re- evaluated after passage of NG tube if clinically
indicated.
Brief Hospital Course:
1)Rhythm: As stated in HPI, pt underwent EP study with multiple
ablation of slow VT foci, but unable to map and ablate the focus
of fast VT. Mapping and ablation of multiple foci of slow VT
were done. Fast monomorphic VT w/ LBBB/L axis occurred (not
induced) which were not pace terminable requiring shock 360 J x3
and then converted to sinus rhythm.
VT occurred during the study which was not induced, not
terminable with pacing, and had to be shocked with 360 J x3. Pt
was transferred to the CCU and to the floor with no significant
event. Pt remained AV paced at a rate of 60 BPM, increased to
80 bpm subsequently. Pt was initially scheduled to return to
NIPS and DFT. However, pt developed fever and abdominal pain,
and therefore NIPS and DFT were canceled. The EP team felt that
NIPS were not urgent, and they have spoken with his cardiologist
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 23246**] who will follow up with him in 4 weeks to do the
NIPS. He was continued on amiodarone 400 mg po qd but quinidine
was discontinued. Due to hypotention, Coreg was reduced to 12.5
mg [**Hospital1 **] from 50 mg [**Hospital1 **]. Pt was continued on coumadin for his
paroxysmal a-fib - he will need frequent INR checks while on
antibiotics for diverticulitis (see below).
2)Pump: Recent Echo 15-20%. As above, pt will be discharged
with reduced dose of Coreg, and will be continued on his home
meds of lisinopril, torsemide, and spironolactone. Pt appeared
euvolemic/hypovolemic clinically with hypotension to SBP 80's
but the CXR showed moderate CHF with increased interstitial
markings and vascular redistribution. Pt got one dose of Lasix
which increased the creatinine from 1.9 to 2.9. Pt later
received IVF which lowered the creatinine. Additionally, his
torsemide was held during the hospitalization, as well as
spironolactone and lisinopril secondary to hypotension, and
rising creatinine. He was started on digoxin 3 days before
discharge and had improvement in his blood pressure enough to
tolerate the lisinopril and spironolactone. Additionally, his
creatinine had normalized, also allowing reintroduction of these
meds. His creatinine had been stable at 1.3 for two days prior
to discharge, with SBP around 120.
3)CAD: Hx of prior inferior and anterior MI. Patient was
continued on ASA, Zocor, Coreg, and lisinopril.
4)Diverticulitis: On the second day of admission, pt developed
fever of 102, abdominal pain, loose stools, and leukocytosis.
Patient had tender lower quadrant abdominal pain to palpation
but with no peritoneal signs. Pt underwent CT abdomen which
showed sigmoid diverticulitis with possible microperforation.
An AXR did not demonstrate any free air. He was made NPO, and
started on levaquin and flagyl. His abdominal pain improved
significantly, and had completely resolved, with only residual
mild tenderness to palpation on discharge. Reglan was started
when an AXR revealed gaseous distention of his stomach and
intestine. His diet was slowly able to be advanced to low
residue, which he was tolerating prior to discharge. His wbc
count rose on the day of discharge, however the patient remained
afebrile and was clinically improved; additionally, the hct and
platelets also rose, making it most likely secondary to
dehydration after restarting his diuretics. The patient was
instructed to increase his fluid intake slightly over the next
couple of days while he isn't taking in a full diet. He should
remain on a low residue, heart healthy diet until he sees a
gastroenterologist, at which time they may want to place him on
a high fiber diet.
5)HTN: Pt was continued on Coreg, lisinopril, Torsemide +
spironolactone.
6)Hypercholesterolemia: Pt was continued on Zocor.
7)COPD: initially, albuterol was held since it could potentially
trigger VT. Pt was continued on Flovent and Atrovent, but
continued to have diffuse wheezing. Pt was discharged with his
home meds of Comvient and Flovent.
8)Sleep apnea: Pt was continued on BIPAP 15 cm. Overnight, pt
showed episodes of apnea and desaturation to the 70's and 80's.
7)Hypothyroid: Patient was continued on Synthroid.
8)CRI: Baseline Cr 1.6-1.8. Creatinine on admission was 1.9 but
Creatinine increased to 2.9 after patient was NPO for planned
NIPS. Pt also appeared intravscularly dry especially after
getting a dose of IV Lasix. Pt got IVF bolus but creatinine
continued to be elevated. His lisinopril and aldactone were
held, and as his diverticulitis resolved his creatinine returned
to baseline. His renal insult may have been a combination from
his VT with hypoperfusion, as well as dehydration. His
creatinine was 1.3 for two days prior to discharge.

Discharge Condition:
Hemodynamcially stable, improved, having bowel movements,
urinating on his own.
Discharge Instructions:
Take all of your medications as directed - we have resumed all
of your previous medications - except for the QUINIDINE. We
have decreased your dose of carvedilol to 12.5 mg twice a day
(instead of 50).
We have started two new medications: 1) digoxin - this is for
your heart. 2) Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) - this is for your
anemia.
You will also be on two antibiotics called levaquin and flagyl
for the next 9 days.
Seek medical attention (PCP, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]) if you develop worsening
abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, fever, chills, chest pain,
palpitation, ICD firing, SOB, or any other concerning symptoms.
You will need to follow up with your cardiologist Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 30512**]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 23246**] in 4 weeks. If she has any questions, she can reach
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 285**].
You will also need to see Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 519**] (surgery), or another
gastroenterologist in a couple of weeks to follow how your
diverticulitis is doing. They will schedule you for a
colonoscopy in the next 2-3 months. Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 518**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] number
is [**Telephone/Fax (1) 6554**].
You will need to have your INR checked on Friday, and every 3
days while you are on the antibiotics.
You will need to stay on a low residue diet until you see Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 519**] or another surgeon, at which time they should place you on
a high fiber diet which you should stay on to help avoid future
episodes of diverticulitis.
Followup Instructions:
Provider: [**Name10 (NameIs) **],[**Name11 (NameIs) **] [**Telephone/Fax (1) **]. Please make an
appointment with her in the next 2 weeks.
Please have your PCP make an appointment for you with a
gastroenterologist in your area. If they have any questions, or
you would like to see a doctor here for your diverticulitis,
call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 519**] at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 6554**]. You will need a colonoscopy in
[**12-17**] months, which they can set you up with.
Please see your primary care doctor in the next week or two - he
should check your blood pressure, among other things, and
consider going back to your usual carvedilol dosage.

Date of Birth: [**2116-6-4**] Sex: M
Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2290**]
Chief Complaint:
Pneumonia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation for mechanical ventilation
History of Present Illness:
83M with esophageal CA, recent admission for FTT, pneumonia. The
patient was sent from nursing home, reportedly ill-appearing. We
do not yet have any history from his facility, [**Hospital3 537**]. I
have left a message with the nurse on duty. The patient's sister
reports that he had been treated for pneumonia two weeks ago at
[**Hospital3 **]. (Our records suggest the patient was discharged on
[**2200-3-3**], but not treated for pneumonia at that time.) The
patient did have a prescription for levaquin in his records from
[**Date range (1) 105283**], so he probably was diagnosed with pneumonia
recently. His sister spoke to him the day before this
hospitalization and says he sounded fine. He was able to go to
lunch and dinner that evening. The patient's sister also reports
that his usual nuring support could not reach him due to the
inclement weather this week.
.
In the ED, the patient was tachycardic, hypoxic on RA on
arrival. He was brought in looking unwell, hypoxic, and with
altered mental status. In addition, the patient was exteremly
cachectic. The patient's CXR showed PNA and he received
vancomycin, levaquin, zosyn (recently admitted with
Pseudomonas). The patient had terrible IV access and so was
underresuscitated. A Right IJ triple lumen was placed. The
patient was progressively tachypneic to low 40s, and his lactate
was 4.9. After failureo f NRB, the ED felt the need to intubate,
with sedation via fentanyl and Versed. Though his SBP was 115
before intubation, afterward he had transient periods of SBP
around 60-90. Phenylephrine was then started. Though altered, pt
wished to be full code. (His sister was unaware of her brother's
exact wishes but felt he would probably want to be full code and
would agree to all of the items on the ICU consent form.)

CT torso [**2200-3-18**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Multifocal pneumonia and signs of atypical infection
including tree-in-[**Male First Name (un) 239**] opacities (which can be seen with
endobronchial PNA or tuberculosis) as well as centrilobular
ground-glass nodules (which can be seen with atypical pneumonia
such as mycoplasma or viral pneumonia). Secretions within the
right main stem bronchus and trachea are likely due to extensive
infection as the patient is intubated and aspiration is less
likely.
2. Extremely limited evaluation of the abdomen, however,
possible right
hydronephrosis. If clinically indicated, a renal ultrasound
could be
performed for further evaluation.
3. Small-to-moderate axial hiatal hernia.
.
ECHO [**2200-3-19**]:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are
normal (LVEF >55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No masses or
vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. No mass or
vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. There is moderate
thickening of the mitral valve chordae. No mitral regurgitation
is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is moderate
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a very small
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal global and regional biventricular systolic
function. Moderate pulmonary hypertension. Moderate tricuspid
regurgitation. Very small pericardial effusion.
.
[**2200-3-19**] Renal ultrasound:
IMPRESSION:
1. Echogenic kidneys compatible with medical renal disease,
although without atrophy. Indeed the parenchyma seems mildly
swollen. No evidence of hydronephrosis or abscess.
2. Extensive ascites.
.
[**2200-3-26**] CXR:
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no
relevant
change. Minimally increase in opacities at the left lung base,
the other
opacities in both the left and the right lung are constant.
Unchanged high
position of the endotracheal tube, the tube could be advanced by
1 to 2 cm. No newly appeared focal parenchymal opacities.
Unchanged bilateral
symmetrical apical thickening.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient had a complicated hospital course including a MICU
stay where he was on pressors for quite a while as well as
refractory respiratory failure. He was treated with multiple
courses of antibiotics for HCAP but failed to improve. Given
his failure to improve and the severity of his illness, a goals
of care conversation was conducted by the MICU team. The
patient's sister did not feel that pursuing a tracheostomy, a
PEG tube and prolonged intubation were consistent with his
wishes. As such, the patient was made DNR/DNI and was extubated
on [**3-30**]. He actually did well initially. As such, a code
conversation was had with the sister and he was made [**Name (NI) 3225**]. He
was transferred out of the unit on [**3-31**]. He initially did well
and was able to communicate with his sister and with myself.
However, his respiratory status deteriorated. He was given
morphine for pain and for respiratory distress. He ultimately
passed away on [**4-2**] at 1:40 PM. His family was at his bedside
at the time of his death.

Brief Hospital Course:
Following transfer the patient remained stable. Carotid
ultrasound demonstrated a 60-69% right narrowing of the internal
carotid and <40% on the left.
On [**9-15**] he was taken to the operating room where
revascularization was undertaken. Grafts to the LAD, obtuse
marginal and PDA were done. he weaned from bypass om
phenylephrine, insulin and propofol. He was transferred to the
CVICU in stable condition. He required pressor support for the
first 24 hours and he weaned from the ventilator on the first
postoperative day, awakening agitated the first two attempts.
He had transient SVT and when pressor were off, beta blockade
was resumed and he was loaded with and begun on Amiodarone.
He was transferred to the floor on the second postoperative day.
His CTs were removed. Pacing wires were removed on the third
day and he was in sinus rhythm.
Diuretic doses were increased to facilitate diuresis to
preoperative weight given his significant peripheral edema. PT
worked with him for ambulation.
He was stable for discharge home with a walker. His glucoses
were contro;lled with insulin and he was on his preoperative
regimen at discharge. He was instructed to follow up with his
primary care physician for further glucose treatment. he was
sent home on oral Lasix to continue diuresis and for blood
pressure control. Discharge medications and instructions were
discussed with him prior to discharge.

History of Present Illness:
Pt is a 77 yo woman with PMH of diet controlled DM2, HTN, breast
ca s/p surgical resection and XRT who was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**]
from [**Hospital3 4107**] for STEMI. Patient was in her USOH until 1
week prior to presentation at [**Hospital3 **] when she began
having cough productive of yellow-colored sputum tinged with
specks of blood, also noted fevers/chills, some SOB with
exertion. The patient was started on Levaquin as an outpatient
3 days prior to presentation which did not alleviate her sxs.
She denies any SOB w/ exertion prior to onset of cough and
fevers, orthopnea, PND, chest pain/pressure, palpitations. Does
have some LE edema which she attributes to knee surgery.
Patient presented to [**Hospital3 **] on [**2134-4-19**] with above
complaints, and was found to have pneumonia with CXR findings
demonstrated RUL, RML, RLL pneumonia. She was also found to be
hypokalemic with K=2.9 on admission. Patient was treated with
potassium repletion, abx included IV azithromycin and cefotaxime
that was changed to levaquin and cefazolin. Influenza swab and
legionella titers were negative. Pt had some clinical
improvement, although remained w/ cough and SOB w/ exertion
throughout her hospital course. On [**2134-4-23**], pt developed SSCP
on and off throughout the day, received morphine and NTG, EKG
demonstrated ST elevation of anterior leads on top of underlying
J point elevation, with some reciprical changes seen in inferior
leads - these EKG findings were noted in retrospect. Patient
then developed VFib arrest and was successfully defibrillated.
She was started on integrilin gtt, heparin gtt, plavix 300mg x
1, ASA 325mg x 1, lopressor 5mg IV x ?[**4-4**], then transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for emergent cath.
Unknown time of transit b/w onset of chest pain and arrival in
cath lab (un-documented per OSH when chest pain occurred).
Patient was complaining of [**4-9**] CP on arrival to cath lab. She
received pre-medication with benadryl, solumedrol, pepcid due to
her dye allergy. Cath demonstrated 50% PDA and PL lesions,
90-99% LAD lesion (right after take-off of D1). She had stent
placed to LAD lesion. [**Name (NI) 2076**] pt was CP free. Cardiac cath
c/b low stick (likely in SFA) and R thigh hematoma, patient
remained hemodynamically stable.
Currently pt feels well, chest pain free, no SOB at rest, but
has not tried moving around. No other complaints.
.
ROS: Also + for syncopal episodes x past couple years on
occasion, denies prodrome of N/V, diaphoresis, does have some
dizziness prior to episodes at times, at time no prodrome at
all. Has LOC for seconds to minutes, denies loss of bowel or
bladder fxn, denies post-ictal state.

# Cardiac:
A. Ischemia: Pt had STEMI in anterior leads on presentation,
underwent cardiac cath [**2134-4-24**] with stent placed in lesion in
LAD (right after D1). Initially maintained on integrilin, but
it was discontinued postcath in setting of a groin hematoma.
Cardiac enzymes trended down, peak CK 1479 on admission. The
patient was chest pain free for the remainder of her stay. Her
hematoma and Hct were stable and no bruit was auscultated. She
was discharged on ASA, Plavix, Toprol XL, lisinopril, and
high-dose Lipitor.

B. Rhythm: Pt had VFib arrest at OSH, successfully
cardioverted, likely secondary to ischemia. At baseline, has
borderline long QTc at 468. Also concern for arrythmia given
syncope hx (see below). As VF arrest was in the setting of
acute STEMI, she was not felt to meet criteria for ICD from that
standpoint. QT prolonging medications were avoided. EP consult
for syncope workup as below.
.
C. Pump: Unknown EF. Pt clinically appeared volume overloaded
on admission, with elevated JVD, and crackles in lungs. ECHO
[**4-24**] demonstrated EF=25%, anterior WMA consistent with an LAD
lesion, and apical akinesis. She was diuresed with prn IV
Lasix. She was started on IV heparin for apical akinesis. EP
evaluated her and recommended repeat TTE in 1 month, with ETT-T
wave alternans and signal average ECG-EP study to determine if
she qualifies for ICD per MADIT II criteria. She was discharged
on Toprol XL, lisinopril, and Coumadin with a Lovenox bridge,
with an INR check later that week.
.
# Syncope: Pt reports long history of syncope, generally
without prodrome, and with significant injuries with fall (i.e.
hitting head, breaking ankle, etc.). The story was felt to be
concerning for arrythmia. MRI/A showed no significant
vertebrobasilar stenosis. EP was consulted, but flet her
history was more consistent with vasovagal vs. hypoglycemic
episodes. She was discharged to continue further workup as per
PCP.
.
# ID/Respiratory: Patient presented to the outside hospital
with evidence of R sided pneumonia. Repeat CXR here was
consistent with RML vs RUL pneumonia. She was transferred on
levaquin and Cefazolin, but was found to have a borderline
prolonged QTc. Therefore, she was switched to Ceftriaxone and
azithromycin. As azithromycin can also prolong QT, it was
discontinued as well. She wa safebrile with a normal WBC count,
and was weaned off O2. Cultures were negative. She was
discharged on cefpodoxime for 5 more days, to complete a 14-day
course of antibiotics.
.
# HTN: On atenolol, hydralazine, enalapril, HCTZ, and
amlodipine for BP control at home. She was changed to
metoprolol and captopril for easier titration. Her other
antihypertensives were held in an effort to pursue titration of
her beta blocker and ACE-i. She was discharged on Toprol XL and
lisinopril.

Brief Hospital Course:
87 year-old male with coronary artery disease s/p CABG,
congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes
mellitus, with recent admission for sepsis, who now presents
status post fall with hypoxia and hypotension secondary to
sepsis.
.
1. Sepsis: The patient had a recent admission for sepsis and was
found to have MRSA bacteremia and Pseudomonas UTI at that time.
The patient's recurrent sepsis on this admission was thought to
be secondary to infected ICD leads and the patient went to the
operating [**2104-2-3**] for lead removal and temporary lead
placement. The differential initially included endocarditis,
recurrent UTI, pneumonia, and C. difficile infection. These
diagnoses were excluded as there were no vegetations noted on
intraoperative TEE, the patient's urinalysis was negative, chest
X-ray negative for pneumonia, and C. difficile cultures
negative. The patient was followed by Infectious Disease during
admission. The patient was started on vancomycin [**2104-1-30**] and
will continue to complete a four-week course from [**2104-2-3**], the
date of pacer lead removal. The patient will have a permanent
pacemaker placed once the antibiotic course is completed. The
patient was transiently on cefepime and metronidazole
empirically but these were discontinued. The patient initially
required levophed but this was weaned the second day of
admission. Lactate 4.0 on presentation but subsequently
normalized.
.
2. Hypoxia: The patient has a history of lung disease of unclear
etiology (restrictive and diffusion defects by last pulmonary
function testing). The patient has a history of amiodarone use,
but CT chest in [**2101**] did not show definitive signs of amiodarone
toxicity. The patient has a baseline oxygen requirement 2-3L.
The patient's increased oxygen requirement on admission was
believed secondary to hypoxia secondary to sepsis and/or CHF.
The patient's BNP was elevated on admission. There were no
signs of pneumonia on imaging or sputum culture. The patient's
oxygen requirement decreased during admission with diuresis and
treatment of sepsis. On discharge, the patient was saturating
93% on 3L at rest, but required higher levels of oxygen on
ambulation from severe deconditioning. The patient should be
given nebulizers and increased oxygen prior to exertion. The
patient also intermittently desaturated during sleep, likely
secondary to intermittent hypoventilation. The patient responds
to brief use of increased oxygen or non-rebreather mask as
needed.
.
3. Acute renal failure: The patient had creatinine 2.3 on
admission, from baseline 0.9. This was likely pre-renal in
setting of sepsis and congestive heart failure. The patient's
creatinine improved with diuresis and treatment of sepsis. The
patient's renal failure subsequently remained stable 1.4-1.5 and
this may represent a new baseline.
.
4. Status post fall: The patient suffered a fall prior to
admission likely secondary to hypotension and/or hypoxia in the
setting of sepsis. No obvious syncope or trauma. Head CT
negative for acute intracranial pathology.
.
5. Atrial fibrillation: There is no need for rate control. The
patient is on coumadin as an outpatient and was therapeutic on
admission. Anticoagulation was held prior to the pacemaker
removal but restarted prior to discharge. The patient was
started on low-dose amiodarone for rhythm control. The
patient's pacemaker was removed with temporary pacemaker
placement. The patient will have a permanent pacemaker placed
once his course of antibiotics is complete.
.
6. Congestive heart failure: LVEF 30%, 1+ MR, 3+ TR from last
echocardiogram. The patient had a BiV ICD/pacer on admission
which was removed as above and replaced with a temporary
screw-in pacemaker. A permanent pacemaker will be placed once
the patient has completed a course of antibiotics. The patient
had an elevated BNP on admission and crackles on exam consistent
with a CHF exacerbation. The patient responded to diuresis with
improved oxygenation. The patient's beta-blocker and
ACE-inhibitor were initially held secondary to hypotension. The
patient was started on carvedilol prior to discharge.
ACE-inhibitors were held secondary to relative hypotension and
persistently elevated creatinine. An ACE-inhibitor can be
restarted as an outpatient if blood pressures remain stable and
the patient's creatinine is believed to be at a new baseline.
The patient's digoxin was held for supratherapeutic levels with
renal failure and initiation of digoxin. The patient's digoxin
can be restarted as an outpatient for symptoms.
.
7. Coronary artery disease: No signs or symptoms of active
ischemia. Status post CABG in [**2089**] (LIMA -- D1, SVG-- LAD, SVG
-- Ramus; SVG -- OM; SVG-- PDA). CK/troponins negative on
admission. The patient was continued on beta-blocker and
atorvastatin. The patient has an allergy to aspirin.
.
8. Diabetes mellitus, type II: Diet-controlled as an outpatient.
The patient was maintained on sliding scale insulin.
.
9. Anemia: History of B12 deficiency and gastrointestinal
losses. Recent baseline hematocrit 27-29. The patient was
continued on B12 supplementation.
.
10. Benign prostatic hypertrophy: No active issues. The patient
was continued on finasteride.
.
11. Code: Full.
.
12. MACU for IV antibiotics, telemetry monitoring until
permanent pacemaker placement.

arm, brought on by exertion. It is
occasionally associated with shortness of breath, and has
worsened such that it now occurs with fairly minimal activity.
He presented to [**Hospital3 **] on [**12-21**] as these episodes were
becoming more frequent. Cardiology was consulted at OSH and
thought this was consistant with unstable angina, and
recommended
transfer to [**Hospital1 18**] for cardiac catheterization. He was found to
have left main disease and is now being referred to cardiac
surgery for revascularization.

Conclusions
PRE BYPASS No spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in
the body of the left atrium/left atrial appendage or the body of
the right atrium/right atrial appendage. No atrial septal defect
is seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is moderately, globally
depressed (LVEF= 35-40 %). The right ventricle displays mild
global free wall hypokinesis. There are simple atheroma in the
ascending aorta. There are complex (>4mm) atheroma in the
descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. There are
filamentous strands on the aortic leaflets consistent with
Lambl's excresences (normal variant). Trace aortic regurgitation
is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild
(1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial
effusion.
POST BYPASS There is normal right ventricular systolic function.
Global left ventricular systolic function is improved - now mild
global hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of 45%. The mitral
regurgitation may be slightly worsened and borders on being mild
to moderate. The thoracic aorta is intact after decannulation.
CXR: [**2149-12-27**]: The lungs are hyperinflated, suggesting
background COPD. The patient is status post sternotomy, with
mild-to-moderate cardiomegaly, unchanged compared with [**2150-12-26**]
at 11:33 a.m. There is mild relatively diffuse prominence of the
interstitial markings, however, CHF findings are considerably
improved compared with the earlier film. There is patchy opacity
in the retrocardiac region, also somewhat improved. Minimal
blunting of the posterior costophrenic angles is seen, but no
gross effusion identified.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was brought to the operating room on [**2150-12-24**] where
the patient underwent Coronary artery bypass x2 with blood with
left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending and a
reverse saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal branch.
CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS: 57 minutes. CROSS-CLAMP TIME: 43
minutes.
Overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and
post-operatively was transferred to the CVICU in stable
condition for recovery and invasive monitoring.
POD 1 found the patient extubated, alert and oriented and
breathing comfortably. The patient was neurologically intact
and hemodynamically stable, weaned from inotropic and
vasopressor support. Beta blocker was initiated and the patient
was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. The patient
was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery. His
Foley was removed and he failed a voiding trial. He was given
Flomax and Foley was removed again and he voided initially 120
cc. He subsequently was bladder scanned for 1 Liter. Foley was
reinserted and patient was discharged home with a leg bag and
follow up appointment with outpatient urologist was arranged.
Preop Plavix was restarted for PVD. He was started on Kefzol for
upper sternal pole erythema and tenderness - sternum was without
drainage and stable. He was afebrile and WBC was 7.5. He was
continued on a 7 day course of Kefzol at the time of discharge
for sternal erythema. Chest tubes and pacing wires were
discontinued without complication. The patient was evaluated by
the physical therapy service for assistance with strength and
mobility. By the time of discharge on POD5 the patient was
ambulating freely, the wound was healing, he was 92% on Room air
and pain was controlled with oral analgesics. He was given a
nicotine patch and smoking cessesation teaching. The patient
was discharged in good condition with appropriate follow up
instructions.

IMAGING:
CTA Neck [**6-23**]:
extensive SAH centered at the left aspect of the suprasellar
cistern.
7mm x 7 mm lobulated aneurysm at the junction of the left MCA
and carotid
artery.
[**2161-6-26**] Head CT: IMPRESSION:
1. New area of hypoattenuation in the left parietal lobe s/p
aneurysm
coiling, suspicious for acute infarction.
2. Small amount of residual subarachnoid hemorrhage.
[**2161-6-30**] Head CTA: IMPRESSION: 1. No significant change in the
hypodense area in the left parietal lobe at the vertex compared
to the recent study of [**6-26**], though it is new compared to [**6-24**]
and may represent a focus of infarction.
2. Short segment areas of stenosis, in the left posterior
cerebral artery -P2 segment, may be real/related to adjacent
artifacts from the coils. Short segment narrowing of the distal
Basilar artery is likely related o artifacts. Atherosclerotic
calcified and non-calcified plaques in the cavernous segments on
both sides with some degree of stenosis.
Otherwise, no flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion of the major
arteries noted.
[**Date range (1) 59214**] EEG: IMPRESSION: This is a normal video EEG telemetry
in the awake and drowsy states. There was no organized
epileptiform activity or
electrographic seizures.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the Surgical ICU for Q1 neuro checks
and tight blood pressure control. She was placed on nimodipine
for vasospasm prophylaxis, and dilantin for seizures. A repeat
CTA was performed, which demonstrated a 7x7mm lobular aneurysm
at the junction of the L carotid/MCA.
She was taken to the angio suite on [**6-23**] and underwent coiling
of the P Comm Artery aneurysm. Procedure was without
complication but due to a small coil protrusion in the parent
artery, she was left on a heparin drip overnight. Patient
returned to the ICU for close neurological monitoring.
The following morning the heparin was discontinued and EEG
monitoring was initiated per protocol. She was also started on a
prednisone taper for additional pain control.
On [**6-25**] dilantin level was reloaded. On [**6-26**] a CT was performed
at the discretion of the ICU team for continued headaches. This
revealed a small left parietal infarction. The patient remained
neurologically stable and asymptomatic, but hypertension and
hypervolemia were initiated.
From [**6-27**] through [**6-30**] the patient remained neurologically
intact in the ICU. Pain medications were changed frequently in
attempt to reach an acceptable comfort level. On [**6-30**] the
patient was cleared for discharge to the floor. Her IVF was
halfed to 100ml/hr. EEG monitoring was discontinued and she was
encouraged to be out of bed.
On [**7-1**] A CTA was obtained to assess for vasospasm and was
negative.
IVF was discontinued.
On [**7-2**] the patient was ambulating independently and tolerating
a PO diet. H/A was stable and current pain regimen is tolerable.
Pt was cleared for discharge home at this time.

of dizziness, nausea and constipation, w/ gen malaise, poor po
intake over the past few weeks. Recent episoded of diarrhea
followed by constipation over the past week. Poor PO intake,
because angina worse with eating, has led to avoidance of food.
Patient has severe angina that is refractory to maximal medical
management per recent notes in OMR, 2-3 episodes per day per
patient. Denies syncope or claudication. Pt states angina is not
becoming more frequent or severe. Angina is relieved by SlNTG

There is severe aortic valve stenosis (area 0.7cm2). Mild (1+)
aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
structurally normal. An
eccentric, anteriorly directed jet of mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen.
There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is
no pericardial
effusion.
.
[**10-9**] EKG: Sinus bradycardia
Ventricular pacer spikes in pattern of pseudofusion complexes

Briefly this is a 76M with CAD s/p 4vCABG [**2148**] presenting with
poor po intake, 30 lb weight loss, abdominal discomfort and
angina found to be hypotensive, admitted initiallo to MICU for
monitoring and resucsitation.
.
1. Hypotension: BP improved with fluids. TTE showed severe AS,
which in a volume depleted person who is pre-load dependent was
thought to be the likely etiology of pt's hypotension. On date
of discharge pt's BP is stable and he has tolerated
re-initiation of home antihypertensives.
.
2. CAD: with chronic stable angina that is refractory to maximal
medical therapy per outpatient cardiology notes. Ruled out with
CEs, EKG. Likely etiology for angina is severe AS.
.
3. AS. Pt was seen by cardiothoracic surgery who recommended a
full pre-operative work-up in anticipation of AVR with possible
CABG: including cardiac catheterization, and GI consult. Pt
received part of work up in house including GI consult and b/l
carotid ultrasounds. Pt will return in ~2 weeks for elective
outpatient catheterization and will be in touch with CT surgery
regarding bypass surgery scheduling and expectations.
.
4. Abdominal discomfort:Pt presented with symptoms of abdominal
pain and angina with eating. He also was guaiac positive and
anemic. Of note pt had recently been incompletely treated for
an assumed h. pylori infection. He had received 2 weeks of a
three week course of antibiotics before self discontinuing the
medications due to diarrhea. Pt had a history of a recent
colonoscopy in [**2157**] which was significant only for grade 2
internal hemorrhoids. Pt underwent an EGD on [**10-12**] which showed
gastric and duodenal erosions and a gastric ulcer. Pt continued
on PPI. Biopsy taken, will return in a week, if remains H.
Pylori positive, pt's PCP will contact the pt re: starting
prevpac. Pt also underwent a CTA of the abdomen to evaluate for
mesenteric ischemia in light of his symptoms of post-prandial
pain, this study showed no evidence for any occluded bowel
vessels.
.
5. Diabetes: RISS and metformin continued, metformin held for 48
hours after administration of CTA dye load.
.
6. BPH: Pt initially experienced urinary retention requiring
foley which was shortly thereafter discontinued, on the day
prior to discharge pt again experirenced an episode of retention
requiring foley replacement, this was again weaned prior to
leaving the hospital. Pt continued on proscar and doxazosin.
Plan to follow up with outpatient urology if retention remains
an active issue. Pt initally emperically treated for UTI with
cipro, whis was d/c'd when culture results returned negative.
Pt will contact his primary care physician [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) 58**] for a
follow up appointment within a week after discharge. He will
also be following up with cardiothoracic surger regarding
completion of pre-op workup including outpatient cardial
catheterization, dental clearance, and potential vein mapping.
Will need repeat EGD prior to OR given risk of bleeding with
surgery/anticoagulation. Pt/PCP to follow up EGD biopsy results
in 1 week post discharge for result of h. pylor test, if postive
to complete prevpac treatment. Pt to return to Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 679**] for
repeat EGD in [**6-27**] weeks.

Chief Complaint:
Intracerebral hemorrhage, Headache, change in mental status.
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None.
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 105462**] is a 77yo LH man with a PMHx significant for
metastatic melanoma (mets to liver and lymph nodes), afib on
coumadin, placement of a pacemaker and lumbar spinal stenosis
who was originally admitted to neurosurg on [**11-12**] and transferred
to OMed on [**11-15**]. He is being transferred to the Neuro ICU
because of concern for altered mental status this AM.
To briefly recount his history: he had been in his USOH
until the day of admission, when he developed a sudden left
temporal headache. He was having difficulty walking and
eventually was unable to stand up. He was found down with
decreased movement of his left side next to his bed. Concerned,
his wife activated EMS and he was brought to an OSH for
evaluation. There, a NCHCT showed a right temporal IPH with
intraventricular extension. His INR at that point was noted to
be "supratherapeutic". He was intubated and then transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for further management (INR on arrival was 2.3). Upon
arrival, he was admitted to the Neurosurgery service for further
management. He was observed and his anticoagulation was reversed
while on that service. He was also started on PHT on admission
for seizure ppx. A head CT with contrast on [**11-13**] was concerning
for an intracerebral hemorrhage,
On the AM of [**11-15**], he was found to have decreased
responsiveness -- he barely responsive to name, would have
difficulty opening his eyes and and difficult to arouse. He
also had a fever to 100.4 with perseveration and [**Last Name (un) 6055**]-[**Doctor Last Name **]
breathing. Concerned, neuroonc was consulted and it was
recommended that he be transferred to the NeuroICU for further
management for concern for worsening of his bleed. He was
started on decadron and nimodipine. He also received an extra
dose of phenytoin (200mg) He also received a NCHCT prior to
transfer, that was unchanged from the one the day prior.

Brief Hospital Course:
Initial Hospital Course with Neurosurgical Team
The patient was admitted to the SICU for further evaluation. He
was loaded with Dilantin, and his INR was immediately reversed
with FFP and Vit K for a goal INR < 1.4. He was extubated in the
morning, and on his exam he was following commands and MAE. A
Head CT with contrast on [**11-13**] demonstrated a right temporal
hamorrhage and was read as having no underlying mass. On further
inspection of the scan it was felt that there was an underlying
mass consistent with metastatic melanoma. On [**11-14**] he was deemed
fit to be trasnferred out of the ICU and the family was
thoroughly updated by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. He was medially stable
overnight on the floor however was agitated and required Posey
restraint and Geodon. What stable, he was transferred to the
care of Neurology and their floor service.
Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Contributors: Likely cerebral metastases of melanoma (difficult
to further evaluate in this context and given MRI could not be
performed owing to pacer), coumadin, striking of head (possibly
occurred after bleed - unclear). [**Name2 (NI) **] should remain on
Lovenox prophylaxis given lesser risk of more bleeding, but
likely hypercoagulable state at present. Please do not restart
coumadin at this time. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 724**] will re-address these questions
in clinic. He also is likely to have had a seizure, hence
starting of Dilantin. His mental status worsened slightly with
Dilantin, so we have started zonisamide and started tapering
Dliantin (was at 150 mg TID) - see instructino in med list
below. Gabapentin has likely been anticonvulsant and was
mistakenly continued at 300 mg TID rather than 600 mg TID, but
this is now continued at the lower dose given stability at
present and some sedation. This should be revised after Dilantin
is stopped and with continued evaluation of mental status. Given
underlying melanoma, dexamethasone was started, with dosing
revised by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 724**] at NeuroOnc follow-up. Given steroid
treatment, IV H2 blocker (now PPI on DC as per home regimen),
insulin were started. Vitamin D and calcium given. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 724**]
plans whole brain radiation and chemotherapy is also possible.
This is another reason why we preferred zonisamide (mostly renal
clearance) to Dilantin (non-linear/saturatable and inducing,
hepatic).
Melanoma
Scalp lesion presently not active. Metastatic disease. Was seen
by oncology in house. Present issue is likely cerebral
metastases.
Fluid Overload
Patient with significant pulmonary edema on transfer to
neurology. Self-resolving but also treated with small Lasix
doses (20 mg). Likely primary reason for increased respiratory
rate and hypoxia.
Pneumonia
Patient likely aspirated and given overall fragile state,
treated. Vancomycin and Zosyn chosen given less likely to
provoke seziures than other regimens. Treatment to finish on
[**2199-11-28**]. PICC line was placed and is in the correct location
for use.
[**Last Name (un) 6055**]-[**Doctor Last Name **] Respiration
Echo not performed, but may contributors likely low-output
cardiac state or due to hemorrhage or even metastases. Given
stability and attribution of increased work of breathing to
edema, was not further worked-up.
Atrial Fibrillation
Metoprolol continued through the admission with good rate
control. Patient typically takes metoprolol succinate 25 mg QAM
with additional 25 mg of tartrate if needed. Pacer interrogation
appointment on [**2199-11-25**] (same day as NeuroOnc appointment). He
was seen by the electrophysiology service while an inpatient.
Pacer working well but will be interrogated in clinic.
SSRI
Citalopram dose held at 20 mg. Can be increased when patient
stabilized to 40 mg if indicated, as intended by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **].
Hypothyroidism
Would recommend outpatient TSH check given interaction of
levothyroxine with calcium.
Hyperlipidemia
Continued atorvastatin at 10 mg.
Hematuria and Urinary Management
Trace in context of Lovenox treatment and Foley in place. Foley
removed prior to DC. Please repeat UA to see that blood does not
increase.

Discharge Condition:
Mr. [**Known lastname 105462**] is typically alert, but inattentive, oriented to
self, and variably to place, time, context. A typical response
might be correct month, confusion with exact day or date,
"[**9-15**]" instead of [**2198**] and hospital. His mental status tends to
vary through the day from drowsy to alert. He often gives full
sentence, but inappropriate answers to questions. He is
typically quite cheerful and interactive. He needs assistance to
chair and will benefit from continued physical therapy.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital after bleeding in your brain,
in the context of falling out of bed and likely metastases of
melanoma to your brain. This has also been associated with
seizures. We started Dilantin (an anti-seizure medication) and
changed this to Zonegran given some sedation. Your brain bleed
is now stable. You were seen by Cardiac Electrophysiology and
Oncology while an inpatient and will follow-up with both in
clinic. It is now safe for you to go to rehabilitation where you
will complete a course of antibiotics and undergo physical
therapy. Please take your medications as directed and attend
follow-up appointments.
your pain medicine as prescribed.
?????? Exercise should be limited to walking; no lifting, straining,
or excessive bending.
?????? Increase your intake of fluids and fiber, as narcotic pain
medicine can cause constipation. We generally recommend taking
an over the counter stool softener, such as Docusate (Colace)
while taking narcotic pain medication.
?????? Unless directed by your doctor, do not take any
anti-inflammatory medicines such as Motrin, Aspirin, Advil, or
Ibuprofen etc.
?????? Please do not restart warfarin at this time.
CALL YOUR NEUROSURGEON IMMEDIATELY IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING
?????? New onset of tremors or seizures.
?????? Any confusion, lethargy or change in mental status.
?????? Any numbness, tingling, weakness in your extremities.
?????? Pain or headache that is continually increasing, or not
relieved by pain medication.

man with multiple co-morbidities who presented after being
found unresponsive at the nursing home with a temperature of
100.3 F.; blood pressure of 150/70; oxygen saturation 79% to
room air. The patient was found to be more lethargic and
more congested on examination and the patient was then sent
to the Emergency Room at [**Hospital1 69**]
and first admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
HOSPITAL COURSE: While in the Intensive Care Unit, the
patient received frequent suctioning, however, was not
intubated during this initial part of the stay. The patient
was made "Do Not Resuscitate" and "Do Not Intubate" after the
status was confirmed with the [**Hospital 228**] health care proxy,
who is the patient's niece.
The chest x-ray performed right after admission also showed
possible bilateral patchy opacities consistent with
pneumonia. The patient was started on Levofloxacin and
Flagyl.
After the patient was stabilized and no longer required q.
one hour suctioning, the patient was transferred to the
medical floor, where the patient's course remained stable.
The patient required throughout the hospitalization, frequent
suctioning every two to three hours. This frequency later on
subsided to every three to four hours.
The patient's cultures grew back Methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and the patient was also
started on Vancomycin.
During his hospitalization, the patient slowly became more
responsive, however, he remained alert and oriented times one
to his name only throughout his hospitalization. His oxygen
saturation remained stable throughout the hospital stay at 94
to 96% on 50% of face mask. The patient also was initially
admitted with a high sodium of 150; this subsequently
decreased to a level of 140 to 143 after the first day of
hospitalization.
The patient's Metformin was held and an insulin sliding scale
was started for the patient and the patient's glucose levels
remained stable throughout his hospital stay. In addition,
the patient's blood pressure medications were held as well
and his blood pressure readings remained stable throughout
his hospital stay.

Date of Birth: [**2107-9-15**] Sex: F
Service: Medicine
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 67 year old
woman with dilated cardiomyopathy and depressed left
ventricular ejection fraction to less than 25% by last
echocardiogram in [**2172-12-30**], who has resided at a
rehabilitation facility for most of the interval prior since
her discharge from [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 3867**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] in
[**2174-7-31**] for dehydration and congestive heart failure.
The patient now presents from rehabilitation with a complaint
of one month of an increased size of abdomen, weight gain and
lightheadedness, and orthostatic symptoms. She also reports
some shakiness and tremor for the last few days. On
admission, the patient denied any fever or chills prior to
admission, and denied any chest pain or shortness of breath.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Hypertension. 2. Congestive
heart failure (echocardiogram [**2172-12-30**] revealed mild
aortic stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, left ventricular
dilatation, left ventricular ejection fraction less than 25%,
diffuse hypokinesis, decreased right ventricular ejection
fraction). 3. Status post cholecystectomy. 4. Coronary
artery disease.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Digoxin 0.25 mg p.o.q. Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and 0.125 mg p.o.q.d. Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, lisinopril 5 mg p.o.b.i.d., and Protonix.
ALLERGIES: Zomax, codeine, sulfa and carvedilol.
FAMILY HISTORY: Family history is significant for congestive
heart failure and coronary artery disease on the patient's
mother's and father's side.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is a widow. She denies smoking
or alcohol abuse.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination on admission,
the patient had a temperature of 99.2, heart rate 70, blood
pressure 123/70 and oxygen saturation 98% in room air.
General: Patient in no acute distress, speech slurred,
patient inattentive with bilateral asterixis and stigmata of
liver disease. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: Anicteric
sclerae, moist mucous membranes. Neck: Positive jugular
venous distention, no bruits. Cardiovascular: S1 and S2,
III/VI holosystolic, old. Lungs: Bibasilar crackles.
Abdomen: Distended with ascites, mild right upper quadrant
tenderness. Rectal: Guaiac negative. Extremities: 2+
pitting edema. Neurologic examination: Patient very
inattentive, oriented to month only and place, positive
asterixis but no focal deficit.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient had been admitted for weight
gain and shakiness and dizziness. She had been found to have
ascites in the Emergency Room and, since she appeared
encephalopathic, a diagnostic paracentesis was done in the
Emergency Room to rule out spontaneous bacterial peritonitis,
which did not confirm spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
1. Gastrointestinal: The patient was admitted and found to
have worsening ascites. This had been noted in the past but
her weight gain over the period of three weeks had been about
30 pounds. She also noted enlargement of her abdomen. A CT
scan of the abdomen was performed to rule out venous
thrombosis, which was negative. Her liver appeared cirrhotic
on CT scan, with ascitic fluid, which was increased in the
amount in comparison with previous CT scan of the abdomen
several months ago.
The patient received a prophylactic dose of ciprofloxacin
after admission for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis but,
since she remained without signs of infection, this was
discontinued. She was worked up for etiology of liver
cirrhosis. She denied alcohol use, which would be the most
common cause. She had previously had hepatitis C and B
serologies were negative. These were repeated during this
hospital course and also turned out to be negative.
The patient was seen by the liver service, who recommended
workup for cirrhosis, including her hepatitis serologies,
which were negative. The majority of the tests for her
cirrhosis were still pending at the time of dictation. A
liver biopsy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy were not
indicated at this time. She was started on Aldactone and her
dose of Lasix had been increased to help with the ascites.
The patient had a therapeutic paracentesis with removal of
three liters of fluid, with improvement of her weight. On
[**2175-1-8**], the day of tentative discharge, the patient
developed abdominal discomfort and her weight increased by
several pounds. Clinically, there was worsening of the size
of the ascites and the decision was made to retap her
abdomen.
On Monday, [**2175-1-9**], the patient had a repeat
paracentesis with 3,800 cc of peritoneal fluid was taken off
with subsequent receiving of albumin. She was doing very
well after the tap and had no abdominal discomfort. The
liver service recommended increasing the dose of diuretics,
Aldactone 200 mg daily and Lasix 40 mg daily.
It was felt that the patient will need a repeat paracentesis
in the future and a follow-up appointment was scheduled for
mid-[**Month (only) 404**] by the liver service. In the meantime, her
electrolytes should be checked on a regular basis, at least
once a week.
2. Cardiovascular: The patient has known dilated
cardiomyopathy. She ruled out for a myocardial infarction.
A repeat echocardiogram was performed, which was unchanged
from the previous study. It was felt that her ascites is
mainly related to liver cirrhosis rather than congestive
heart failure.
The patient was diuresis but, on hospital day number four,
after increasing her diuretic doses and after a therapeutic
paracentesis, she became hypotensive and required an
overnight Medical Intensive Care Unit stay. During the
hypotension, she was lethargic and felt lightheaded. It was
felt that the reason for her hypotension is most likely due
to fluid shift, and she responded well to fluid boluses and
did not require any pressors.
Since then, she remained with a low systolic blood pressure
in the range of 70 to 110/palpable to 50. She, however
remained very stable and was not symptomatic. Her diuretic
doses were decreased and the patient had been doing well.
3. Encephalopathy: Initially, the patient was admitted with
encephalopathy, but improved after starting lactulose.
4. Laboratory data: White blood cell count 6.2, hematocrit
33, hemoglobin 10.9, platelet count 119,000, glucose 79,
sodium 133, potassium 4.5, chloride 102, bicarbonate 27, BUN
24, creatinine 0.7, calcium 7.7, phosphorous 3.7, INR 1.3,
alkaline phosphatase 171, amylase 20, lipase 9, ALT 29, AST
50, total bilirubin 0.5 and ammonia 68.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
Liver cirrhosis of unclear etiology, status post paracentesis
times two.
Dilated cardiomyopathy.
Congestive heart failure.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
Lasix 40 mg p.o.q.d.

Brief Hospital Course:
Hospital Course/Assessment and Plan:
Patient is an 84 year old female with a history of atrial
fibrillation, normocytic anemia, diabetes and hypertension who
presented with weakness and a hematocrit drop from the mid 30's
to 17. Patient's INR elevated, guaiac postive, but EGD
negative. Received two units of packed red cells and FFP and
guaiac positive.
.
.
1) GI bleed:
Patient initially found to be guaiac positive. INR 2.7 NG
lavage negative. Patient received one unit of FFP and 2 units
of packed red blood cells and hematocrit demonstrated
appropriate increase. Initially monitored in the MICU. EGD on
[**2-9**] did not demonstrate any active bleeds. Biopsy performed of
gastric ulcers. Pathology results pending. Colonoscopy did not
reveal any active bleeding lesions. Biopsy results pending.
-Hematocrit stable at 28.3. On admission, hematocrit 17.
-H. pylori positive. Placed on omeprazole 20 [**Hospital1 **], amoxicillin
500mg [**Hospital1 **], clarithromycin 500bid for ten days. After ten days,
will switch to omeprazole 20mg qd.
-Restarted coumadin upon discharge, with goal INR between 2 and
3. Will instruct patient to have INR and hematocrit levels to
be measured by VNA.
-GI recommends capsule endoscopy as outpatient in the week after
discharge. Provided phone number for patient's family to
arrange. Follow up EGD and potential colonoscopy in eight
weeks. To be arranged by PCP.
.
2) Anemia:
Patient has history of normocytic anemia. Believed to be
component of iron deficiency as well as B12 deficiency and is
followed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 2148**]. Haptoglobin 144, ferritin 24, TRF 307,
TIBC 399. Folate 5.9 and B12 971.

.
3) Diabetes Type II:
Patient's hemoglobin A1c 9.1. Blood sugar levels have been
slightly elevated lately, with some glucosuria on UA.
- Continued on insulin sliding scale. Restart home oral
hypoglycemics. Consider increasing dose as outpatient if blood
glucose levels elevated.
.
4) Atrial fibrillation:
Initially, well rate controlled in the 80s. Held diltiazem as
concern that patient couldn't mount an adequate compensatory
response if decreased volume from GI bleed. Held coumadin dose,
initially, due to concern for GI bleed. Patient's rate on
transfer in the low 100's. Received 10 mg IV and 60mg PO
diltiazem.
[**Hospital **] transfer to floor, elevated heart rate to 140's. Discharged
home on home diltiazem dose of 360qd.

6) Questionable Hyperparathyroidism:
Patient with elevated PTH (155), in setting of elevated calcium.
UPep, SPep, and vitD 1,25 levels sent. Pending.
Consider outpatient follow-up.
7) Hypertension:
Initially, blood pressure medications held, in setting of GI
bleed. Restarted and tolerated well.
.
8) Prophylaxis:
Placed on PPI, [**Hospital1 **]. On discharge, omeprazole, amoxicillin, and
clarithromycin for ten days.

.
CT Head
IMPRESSION: No intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect is
identified. This study cannot exclude an acute ischemic process,
especially in the posterior fossa, and if there is clinical
concern for this issue, further evaluation with an MRI/MRA with
diffusion- weighted imaging should be obtained.
.
MRI/A Abdomen
IMPRESSION:
Normal renal MRA. Simple cysts in right kidney, no focal
lesions. No change in high signal in posterior segment of right
liver, which at that time was thought to represent post-biopsy
change.
.
MRI Head: F
Fidings: There is miminal periventricular hyperintensity of the
white matter adjacent to the right frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**]. There is
opacification of the right frontal sinus. Otherwise the study is
normal. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass
effect, or infarction. However, no diffusion images were
performed. If there is a concern of venous ischemia, a repeat MR
should be performed to obtain diffusion images. The MRV
demonstrates a normal appearance of the dural sinuses. The
inferior sagittal sinus is not seen, but this may be a normal
observation on MRV.
.
MRI C-spine:
IMPRESSION: No abnormally enhancing lesions of the cervical
spine. Mild degenerative changes of the cervical spine as
described above.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
1) Hypertension: In the ED, he was started on a Nitroprusside
drip with resolution of his symptoms. He had no ECG changes and
ruled out for MI. Initially he was restarted on his home dose
of Lisinopril 40; Clonidine .3 mg patches (2 qwk) along with
HCTZ and Norvasc were also started. On the floor, the patient
expressed a strong desire to get off the patches and back on to
Clonidine pills--despite excellent BP control. He stated, "I'll
forget to change the patch but I won't forget my pills". During
his admission, Clonidine patches were slowly weaned off and his
pills restarted. The patient had problems with intermittent
hypotension secondary to starting of methadone while in house
(see below). On the day of discharge, his blood pressure was
stable on clonidine 0.1 mg PO TID. He will follow-up with his
PCP as an outpatient Regarding secondary causes for his
hypertension, MRI of Kidneys were negative for RAS. His TSH was
normal. He did not have any stigmata of Cushings Disease and
random AM cortisol normal. His primary care doctor can consider
further workup of Pheochromacytoma or Hyperaldosteronism as an
outpatient.
2) Headache: Thought to be a combination of clonidine/narcotic
withdrawl, along with hypertensive emergency. Had numerous
studies to evaluate the headache including: Head CT (negative
for bleed), head MRI (negative for stroke, mass), LP (CSF not
c/w meningitis), MRI C-spine (negative), CRP wnl (making
temporal arteritis unlikely. His headache had resolved at the
time of discharge, and he was advised to follow-up with
neurology as an outpatient.
3) Opioid Abuse: The patient stated he was using methadone he
got on the streets. He was also making "fetanyl tea" as
described in the social history. He was started on methadone as
there was concern of ?opioid withdrawl contributing to his
headaches. He was seen by the addiction service and will
follow-up with a methadone clinic as an outpatient. At the time
of discharge, he was on methadone 30 mg PO qAM and 40 mg PO qPM.
4) Gait disorder: Despite being "ataxic" while being walked by
PT, he had several completely normal neuro exams. He was
slightly orthostatic, which was felt to be due to his methadone.
Of note, several nurses documented that patient being
completely independant to the kitchen and bathroom.
5) Microcytic Anemia: indicies normal, including B12, Fe
studies. Given h/o microcytic anemia, Hemoglobin
electrophoresis was sent, which is currently pending at time of
discharge.

History of Present Illness:
76 yo man with DM, HTN, PVD s/p left toe amputation and L iliac
stent in [**4-/2102**] c/b large RP bleed, prostate cancer s/p
prostatectomy, hx of prior DVT ([**3-/2102**] [**Name8 (MD) **] MD report) on
coumadin and chronic left foot wound who presented to [**Hospital1 18**] with
petechia/bruising x 1 day in setting of starting keflex at rehab
and was found to have profound TP and anemia.
.
He was admitted to the floor o/n, with normal BPs and HR in
100s, and was found to have continuing dropping HCT 29 on
admission -> 23 -> 1UPRBC -> 19.9 in setting of severe
thrombocytopenia. Initial evaluation in the ED for DIC was
negative (see hematology note) and he was felt to have either
drug induced TP, ITP or HIT (no evidence of thromboses). He was
started on Prednisone 50mg given 4U FFP and 5mg Vit K to reverse
the INR (3.7->2.0). This morning, HCT continued to drop as above
despite PRBC transfusions, he is thus being transferred to MICU
for further care. Of note, he has had guaiac positive stools but
no melena or hematochezia.
Per discussion with patient and Admission notes, he was in USOH
at rehab until AM of admission, when he noticed small red dots
all over his legs, which proliferated through the day. He also
noted slight bleeding from his mouth/lips. He was initially
taken [**Hospital 8125**] Hospital, then transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
evaluation.
.
"Recent medication changes include recent initiation of Keflex
(for leg ulcer) which was started on [**7-7**]. Further, heparin was
DCd on [**6-23**]. Otherwise he denies any recent sick contacts. [**Name (NI) **]
exposure to ticks or recent bug bites."
.
At time of MICU resident evaluation, he had no complaints, other
than wanting to go home. Denied pain, blood stools, hemoptysis,
abodminal distension. He did not feel he was confused, but could
not perform calculations or attention tasks. He has no HA,
vision changes, numbness, but states that Right leg has had
different sensation over the past few weeks.
Per ROS on admission: refer to admission note.
.
"In the ED initial vitals, Temp: Not recorded, 91 120/74 18 94.
Heme/Onc and vascular consults were obtained. Vascular was asked
to evalute the lower extremity ulcer for possible osteomyeleitis
and intervention - found pulses palpable with doppler,
recommended non invasive lower extremity studies and antibiotics
(Vanc, Cipro, Flagyl). Heme reviewed peripheral smear which did
not reveal schistocytes and thought this to be secondary to drug
reaction or ITP and advised to wait on transfusing plt, reverse
INR, and start prednisone 50mg Daily."

CT Abdomen and Pelvis from [**2102-7-9**]: IMPRESSION
1. Moderate sized retroperitoneal hematoma involving the right
psoas and
iliopsoas muscle. An additional fluid collection within the
retroperitoneum abutting the transversalis muscle on the right
also likely represents a separate site of hematoma given the
clinical history.
2. 3-cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. No evidence of
active
bleeding.
3. Small right pleural effusion. Scattered centrilobular
nodules,
tree-in-[**Male First Name (un) 239**] opacities, and mild bronchial wall thickening all
suggestive of underlying infectious bronchiolitis, possibly
aspiration related. Given size and appearance a followup CT in
three to six months can be obtained to document resolution after
appropriate treatment.
4. Prominent pancreatic duct and common bile duct with no
obstructive mass
lesions seen. While this may reflect underlying ampullary
stenosis,
differential diagnostic considerations for the dilated
pancreatic duct
includes main branch IPMT. If alteration in care will occur, can
consider

Brief Hospital Course:
# RETROPERITONEAL BLEED (RP BLEED), SPONTANEOUS
The patient came in with a low hematocrit around 30, from a
previous level of 41. Upon admission to the floor, the
patient's Hct dropped from 28.9 to 23.3 on [**2102-7-10**]. The
patient was noted to have a severe, normocytic anemia. There
was no evidence of hemolysis: per Heme, no sign of hemolysis on
smear, labs not suggestive of hemolysis. Aspirin and coumadin
were held and the patient was given vitamin K and fresh frozen
plasma. A CT scan on [**2102-7-10**] showed a large fluid collection
in the right transversalis muscle measuring 6.9 cm (AP) x 3.4 cm
(transverse) x 13.1 cm (CC), most consistent with a
retroperitoneal hematoma. He was seen by vascular surgery, who
given his hemodynamic stability, felt that he should be managed
conservatively. His retic was 1.4, an inappropriately low
response in setting of a severe anemia, implicating involvement
of the BM. The patient was transfused 2 units of pRBC on
[**2102-7-11**] with an appropriate bump in Hct to 28.2. The
patient's Hct remained stable subsequently without need for
further transfusion.
# THROMBOCYTOPENIA, ACUTE: The patient arrived with severe
thrombocytopenia, with a plt count less than 5K. There was no
evidence of DIC. The differential included ITP and drug-induced
thrombocytopenia. The patient was started on prednisone 100 MG
daily. A Coomb's test was negative. The HIT Ab came out as
being mildly positive (patient had Hx of hep on [**6-27**] at rehab),
but the likelihood of having HIT was deemdd low. Per consult
with hematology, the picture was inconsistent with HIT, as
platelet levels hardly ever go below 20-30K. The patient was
transfused with a goal plt count of > 50. He received one unit
of platelets on [**7-11**] with a bump in platelet levels to 91K. His
platelet response afterwards was robust, with his platelets
increasing to 226K on discharge. It is unclear whether he had
ITP or drug-induced thrombocytopenia. He should avoid Keflex,
other cephalosporins and, likely, other beta-lactams unless he
is in a highly supervised setting, in case this is a drug
reaction. He should taper off prednisone slowly under the care
of a hematologist (being set-up at this time), with 60mg of
prednisone daily for 2 weeks and decreasing slowly afterwards,
in case this is ITP. He recevied the pneumovax and meningococcal
vaccines. An HIV test was negative.
# Coagulopathy: The patient was found to have an elevated INR
to 3.7 upon admission. Per history from an outside surgeon, the
patient was on coumadin for a presumed, acute occlusion of the
left foot that led to ulcerations. The coumadin was held in the
ED, and the patient was given 4 units of FFP and was reversed
with vitamin K (5MG). The INR drifted downwards during
admission, and eventually reached 1.1 by the time he was called
out to the floor. Per discussion with outside surgeon, the
coumadin was to be held until further evaluation for the need of
anticoagulation. This discussion should be re-evaluated by his
primary care doctor or his surgeons at [**Hospital6 33**].
# PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE (PVD) WITH CRITICAL LIMB ISCHEMIA
remity Ulcer: S/p amputation of toes [**1-3**]. Pulses dopplerable as
noted by Vascular. Vascular surgery saw patient and said there
was no operative management necessary. There was no evidence of
osteo on XR. Clinically does not appear to have osteo. Foot
ulcer grew Pseudomonas and MRSA on [**6-30**]. Podiatry also followed
the patient and started the patient on wet to dry dressings.
Pain was the most pressing issue regarding his condition, and
was addressed with fentanyl patch, gabapentin, and prn dilaudid.
The patient's fentanyl was increased from 50 mcg Q72 hours to
75 mcg. Dilaudid prn was also required for dressing changes (PO
4mg Q4hrs PRN). Coumadin was discontinued. Aspirin was
restarted prior to discharge.
# CAD/HTN. The patient has been normotensive throughout
hospital stay. EF 50-55% at OSH ~ 2mo ago. Has hypokinesis of
basal inferolateral flow on echo in [**Month (only) 547**]. Betablockade and
aspirin are continued. Zocor was continued.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname **],
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your
hospitalizaton. You were admitted with very low platelets and a
low blood count. It was determined that you were bleeding into
your back. You were transferred to the Medical Intensive Care
Unit and treated by getting blood and platelet transfusions.
Your blood count stabilized and your platelet count returned to
a normal level, and you were transferred back to the regular
floor. It was thought that the low platelets were related
either to an antibiotic you received, Keflex, or to a condition
called ITP, where the immune system attacks its own platelets.
We stopped the Keflex and you were started on steroids, which
can help treat ITP. We discharged you on a steroid taper.
It is very important that you follow up with your doctors at
rehab and the Hematologist as you need to have your blood counts
followed.
You were also found to have blood in your stool, so you should
have a colonoscopy as an outpatient. You should follow up with
your primary care doctor regarding this.
We stopped on of your blood thinners, Coumadin, because you had
a large bleed. Please talk to your surgeon and primary care
doctor about whether you should restart the Coumadin.
Followup Instructions:
You will be seen by the doctors at rehab

[**4-3**] FRONTAL & LATERAL VIEWS OF THE CERVICAL SPINE: C1 through C7
are seen on the lateral view. Posterior fusion devices are noted
in C2 through C7. Normal cervical lordosis is maintained. There
are no fractures or subluxations. There is mild loss of disc
height most prominent at C5-6 and C6-7. Vertebral body heights
are maintained. Anterior osteophyte formation is noted in the
lower cervical spine. A central venous catheter ends at the
lower SVC/right atrium. Skin staples are noted over the
posterior neck.
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was admitted to the hospital electively and was taken to the
OR where under general anesthesia she underwent posterior
cervical instrumented fusion under general anesthesia. She did
have an episode of hypotension intra-op at end of surgery and pt
was kept intubated post-op and transferred to PACU. She was
monitored closely and received massive fluid resuscitation. She
was lightened from sedation and was moving all 4 extremities
well. She did not have cuff-leak so remained intubated and was
transferred to TICU. She had known history of atrial
fibrillation and required diltiazem drip for rate control.
Cardiology followed pt and made recommendations. She was able to
be extubated POD#1. Her hematocrit was followed post-op and she
required several PRBC transfusuions. Pain management was done
with consultation of Pain Service who has followed pt in past.
She had JP drain in surgical site that was removed POD#2. Right
deltoid remained slightly weak as pre-op. Diet and activity were
advanced. PT evaluated pt and recommended discharge to home
with outpatient PT. Incision was clean and dry with staples.

[**2177-8-8**] Echocardiogram:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. There is
moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
near akinesis of the distal half of the anterior septum and
anterior walls, distal inferior wall, and apex. The remaining
segments contract normally (LVEF = 35 %).There is an apical left
ventricular aneurysm. Mild spontaneous echo contrast but no
masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricular apex. Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic
stenosis is not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild to moderate
([**2-8**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The pulmonary artery
systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no
pericardial effusion.
[**2177-8-8**] Head CT Scan:
There is no evidence of acute major vascular territorial
infarct. There is no intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage, obvious
masses, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures.
Moderate atrophy is seen causing prominence of ventricles and
sulci. Osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial pathology. 2. Left
parieto-occipital hypoattenuation likely from old infarct. 3.
Chronic small vessel ischemic disease, and moderately severe
atrophy.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted with NSTEMI and congestive heart
failure. Given recent Plavix, surgery was delayed and he
underwent extensive preoperative evaluation. He remained pain
free on intravenous Heparin. Preoperative antibiotics were given
for a positive urinalysis. Head CT scan showed no acute
pathology. Neurology evaluation was consistent with dementia,
most likely multiple infarct dementia. He was cleared for
surgery by the Neurology service but remained high risk for
stroke based on his risk factors and previous history of
strokes. After extensive evaluation, his family agreed and gave
surgical consent to proceed with surgical revascularization. The
remainder of his preoperative course was uneventful.
On [**8-12**], Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] performed urgent coronary artery bypass
grafting surgery. See operative note for details. Following
surgery, he was brought to the CVICU for invasive monitoring.
Within 24 hours, he awoke neurologically intact and was
extubated without incident. Given dementia, narcotics were
avoided. He otherwise maintained stable hemodynamics and
transferred to the SDU on postopertive day one.
Blood glucoses were initially elevated, but came under better
control on resuming home doses of metformin and glipizide, in
addition to Lantus and sliding scale insulin. Lantus was
discontinued upon discharge.
BUN and Creatinine rose and were monitored closely. creatinine
peaked at 1.9 with baseline of 1.5. Foley was maintained to
closely monitor urine output. When the foley was removed, he
failed a void trial, despite a bladder scan for 800cc, foley was
replaced and Flomax was started. he will need a repaet voding
trial at rehab.
The patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for
assistance with strength and mobility and rehab was recommended
prior to return to home.
By the time of discharge on POD #6 the patient was ambulating
with assistance, the wound was healing and pain was controlled
with oral analgesics. The patient was discharged to [**Hospital **]
rehab in [**Location (un) 701**] in good condition with appropriate follow up
instructions.

The left atrium is mildly 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. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
preserved global and regional biventricular systolic function.
Mild mitral regurgitation. Moderate pulmonary hypertension.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2131-9-25**],
pulmonary pressures are lower. The other findings are similar.
.
CXR. [**2132-9-26**].
IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with interval development of
pulmonary edema
and mild congestive heart failure.
Brief Hospital Course:
84 year old woman with history of DM, HL, diastolic CHF,
admitted with respiratory distress and likely flash pulmonary
edema [**2-25**] hypertensive urgency, perhaps provoked by underlying
UTI.
.
# Acute Pulmonary Edema - Initially was treated in MICU with
lasix IV and nitro gtt. SOB improved. CXR consistent with
pulmonary edema. Thought to have flashed in setting of elevated
BP with hx of diastolic HF. Oxygen requirements decreased with
diuresis. Echo ruled out systolic dysfunction with EF>55%. On
the floor, continued diuresis with IV Lasix with significant
improvement of her breathing.
.
# Acute on chronic diastolic CHF: Echo with unchanged from prior
with EF>55%. Tx with lasix for fluid overload. Continued ACE-I
and atenolol. Initiated salt restriction and 2L fluid
restriction. She was discharged on her home doses of the
atenolol and lisinopril.
.
# Urinary tract infection: Pt reports urinary frequency leading
up to her admission. Received zosyn x 1 in Ed, cefepime x 1 in
MICU. Was then changed to cipro. Initial UA positive for UTI and
culture showed GNR. She was treated with Cirpo IV and discharged
on a 14 day po course, as pt had a foley throughout her
hospitalization.
.
# Hypertension: BP initially controlled with nitro gtt
initially. Pt continued on amlodpine, atenolol and lisinopril
throughout her stay to manage high BP with adequate control.
.
# Chronic renal insufficiency: At baseline Cr 1.4 with slight
increase to Cr 1.8 in the setting of Lasix diuresis.
.
# Anemia: Pt is at recent baseline hct (29). Pt was seen in [**Month (only) **]
by hematology, and was diagnosed with anemia of chronic disease
secondary to chronic renal failure.

Chief Complaint:
Altered MS
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Left IJ
Arterial line
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 54 yo M with a PMH significant for C4
paraplegia in [**2166**] [**3-15**] to a MVA found on the floor with altered
mental status 4ft from his bed today. He was last seen 2 Days
PTA noted to be AAOx3. Patient unable to provide further
details.
.
In the ED he was found to be completely disoriented and
hypotensive to the SBP's 80-90s and tachycardic to the 120s. He
received 3L IVF and his pressure increased to the 90-100s. The
patient then received 5mg haldol and 2mg of ativan prior to a
head CT, he became hypotensive to the 80s rr 9 and did not
respond to a 4th liter of fluid so a code sepsis was initiated
and a central line was placed. He spontaneously normalized his
pressures to the 120s, with concordant increase in rr to 12. He
received a total of 5L IVF in the ED. His lactate went from 3.1
--> 1.5 with hydration in the ED.
.
He was noted to have a 3x4 cm ecchymosis on right knee and found
by x-ray to have a comminuted tibal plateau fracture of right
knee. Orhto consulted but had yet to see the patient at the time
of transfer to the MICU. His urine looks dirty (mod LE, many
bacteria, [**4-15**] WBC) and he was noted to have a stage 3-4 decub on
left lateral malleolus. A CXR was WNL. He was given a dose of
vanco/levo/flagyl in the ED. Of note, his urine tox was positive
for cocaine/opiates/benzos.
Past Medical History:
Paraplegia and SCI [**3-15**] MVA [**2166**]
R buttock decubitus ulcer since [**2186-7-2**]
Right bimalleolar ankle fracture [**2-12**]
Left distal third tib fib fracture [**3-14**]
Anemia secondary to iron deficiency.
Hepatitis C.
Vitamin D deficiency.
Social History:
The patient lives at home. He used to smoke one pack per day,
now a few cigarettes per day. He uses alcohol occasionally,
approximately four beers per month. He also reports occasional
marijuana. On previous admission he denies intravenous drug
abuse, cocaine and heroin (although today tox screen positive
for cocaine).
Family History:
NC
Physical Exam:
VS - afebrile, HR 92, BP 119/49, O2 100%, RR 8
Gen - minimally responsive, grimaces and moves slightly to name
HEENT pupils pinpoint, minimally responsive to light
CV - RRR, no murmur appreciated
Chest - course breath sounds
Abd - soft, NT/ND
Ext - large 3x4cm stage 4 decub on left lateral malleolous;
right leg in brace
Neuro - reponds to name, not following commands
Genitals - swollen scrotum
Brief Hospital Course:
Brief MICU course:
# Septic shock - +WBC/hypotensive/tacycardia with multiple
possible sources of infection, including stage 4 lateral
malleolus decubitis ulcer or urine. CXR unremarkable although
aspiration possible given that he was found unresponsive.
Difficult to assess for abdominal tenderness. Pt was given
aggressive fluid resusitation per sepsis protocol to maintain
MAP >60 and CVP 8-12. Patient was briefly on pressors (2 hours)
and was taken off when a-line inserted showed normal BPs.
Responded well to supportive treatment. Patient was started on
vanco/levo/flagyl initially and then tailored to zosyn when
urine/blood cx grew out GNR. Blood cultures ultimately revealed
serratia and E.coli and Urine had >100K E.coli as well as >100K
Klebsiella.
CXR initially showed almost complete collapse of left lung on
admission. Repeat CXR showed good reexpansion after chest PT.
WBC trended down and patient remained afebrile.
On [**2192-9-5**], the pt. had one more episode of hypotension and
fever to 102.2. As a result, he was kept on broad spectrum Abx.
(Vanco/Zosyn/Levo)
After pt. stable and afebrile for several days, stopped double
coverage for GNR and went to just Zosyn and Vanco
# Urethral tear/scrotal rupture - A foley was placed due to
evolving penile skin ulcerations from the condom catheter. This
was initially in good position as confirmed by a bladder scan.
The patient subsequently underwent a CT abdomen/pelvis ordered
to r/o pancreatitis in setting of elevated amylase/lipase which
showed the foley balloon inflated in penile urethra with large
collections of fluid in the scrotum, perineum, and left thigh.
Felt to be urethral tear present with leakage of urine into
scrotum and other tissues. Due to tense fluid collection and
skin breakdown, on [**9-6**], a small hole developed in the scrotum
and fluid (urine and purulent fluid) drained out. Urology has
been following the patient and feels no intervention needed at
this time as the pateint has spontaneously drained well. Likely
will develop fistula. Does need to f/u with GU. Cx and
gramstain sent of fluid in scrotum. Will need to be checked and
should probably get ID f/u given this infxn in setting of
numerous abx given.
.
# Altered mental status - etiology may be hepatic
encephalopathy. Markedly improved with lactulose, continues to
improve. No focal neuro sx.
-- CT Head unremarkable
-- monitor mental status, symptoms improved
-- SW eval after MS improves for substance abuse (pt. had tox
screen + for benzo/cocaine on arrival).
# Elevated Transaminases/[**Name (NI) **] - unclear source. likely from
hypotension. if trend up will get RUQ U/S. CT Abd/Pelvis
negative for hepatobiliary or pancreatic dz. All LFT's have
trended down and normalized except amylase. echeck amylase.
.
.
# Leg Fracture - ortho consulted.
--Non-operative
-- ortho following
-- xray of foot and pelvis showed no fx
# ARF- Likely prerenal given elevated BUN/Cr ratio and FeNa <1%;
Cr trended back to baseline after IVF. Good UOP >50cc/hr.
# Elevated Cardiac Enzymes - Pt found down, cycling enzymes,
initial set, MB fraction increase. likely [**3-15**] to being down.
-- cycle enzymes
.
# Paraplegia - ; likely osteopenic given condition. probably
contributed to leg fracture. Pt started back on baclofen but
other home meds held.
.
# PPX - PPI, heparin SQ, bowel regimen
.
# FEN - replete lytes PRN. S&S to evaluate on monday. NPO for
now. Pt. has decreased gag.

CTA Chest:
IMPRESSIONS:
1. Right hilar mass with extension into mediastinum and with
lymphangitic
carcinomatosis in RLL and RML, consistent with reported history
of RLL small
cell carcinoma.
2. Bronchoceles in the RLL with wall thickening and containing
debris and
fluid are consistent with necrotizing bronchiectasis; if the
patient has not
had radiation therapy, infectious cause would be most suspect.
Patchy
peripheral opacities likely representing infection from
aspirated fluid/debris
from bronchoceles.
3. Right hilar mass causes narrowing of arteries and bronchi,
and amputates
the right pulmonary vein. No pulmonary embolism seen.
Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 61 yo M with NSCLC s/p XRT and recent chemo, presenting
with episodes of hemoptysis. His hospital course is as follows:
.
.
Hemoptysis: Likely was related to his lung cancer. His Hct was
initially stable at 27. However, he underwent rigid
bronchoscopy which showed blood in the bronchial tree, as well
as a large vessel protruding from an area of his eroded
bronchial wall. He was intubated with a double lumen ETT. IR
was consulted. The patient underwent intercostals and R
inferior PA. However, returning to the MICU he re-bled,
requiring single lung ventilation. With discussion with the
family given his dire prognosis, he was made DNR. He passed
away later in the evening.
.
Fever: T was 102.7. His source was likely related to the lung
infection. He was treated empirically with vanco/levo/flagyl.
However, the patient later passed away. No obvious infectious
source was identified.

Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 4949**] is a 75 year old male
with a history of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy,
who reports that he has had chest pain for approximately the
past 40 years. Over the past two years, this has gotten
progressively worse. The pain is provoked by exertion, such
as walking 25 to 30 feet, taking out the garbage or climbing
one flight of stairs. He does not experience pain at rest.
He has occasional lightheadedness but denies syncope, denies
claudication, orthopnea, edema or paroxysmal nocturnal
dyspnea.
A recent dobutamine echocardiogram was done on [**2143-6-13**]
by Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]. Baseline echocardiogram showed left
ventricular hypertrophy with prominence of the basal septum.
There was moderate mitral regurgitation, borderline systolic
aortic motion and then outflow gradient less than 60 mm of
mercury; after dobutamine, the gradient increased to greater
than 100 mm of mercury, for a diagnosis of hypertrophic
obstructive cardiomyopathy.
The patient was taken to the catheterization laboratory on
the day of admission for alcohol ablation to be performed on
the septal artery which, unfortunately, led to complete heart
block without ventricular escape, and full cardiac arrest.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed on the patient
for 15 minutes, at which point electrophysiology screwed in a
sequential A-V pacer which started a perfusing rhythm. The
patient was then transferred to the Coronary Care Unit in
stable condition.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Hiatal hernia. 2. Acid reflux.
3. Hypothyroidism. 4. Chronic osteoarthritis. 5.
Undescended testicle. 6. Hypertrophic obstructive
cardiomyopathy.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination on admission,
the patient was an intubated and sedated obese male,
responsive to voice but unable to follow instructions
initially. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: Pupils equal,
round, and reactive to light and accommodation, sluggish
pupillary response, pupils slightly dilated at 4 mm but were
responsive to 2 mm with light reflex, oropharynx clear, moist
mucous membranes, no thyromegaly. Neck: No jugular venous
pressure, no carotid bruits. Cardiovascular: Regular rate,
II/VI systolic ejection murmur at the apex, no rubs or
gallops. Respiratory: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.
Abdomen: Soft, nontender, nondistended, positive bowel
sounds, no hepatosplenomegaly, no guarding. Extremities: 2+
dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis pulses, no lower
extremity edema, bilateral groin catheterization sites free
of bleeding or hematoma, no bruits over catheterization
sites.
LABORATORY DATA: Admission CK was 1,289, CK/MB 179 and MB
index 13.9. Arterial blood gases: pH 7.37, pCO2 32, pO2
144, total CO2 19, intubated. Potassium was 4.1, hemoglobin
12.4 and hematocrit 37. Electrocardiogram showed sinus
rhythm with a first A-V block, conduction defect of right
bundle branch block type which was new since the prior
tracing prior to the septal ablation.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Complete heart block: The patient was
initially put on an extracutaneous synchronous A-V pacemaker,
which maintained a perfusing rhythm throughout his
hospitalization. Interrogation of the pacemaker throughout
the hospitalization showed occasional A-V conduction
initially, which then disappeared, therefore leaving the
patient completely relying on the A-V synchronous pacer for a
perfusing rhythm.
Due to the continual complete heart block, the patient was
taken to the electrophysiology laboratory on [**2143-7-5**]
for a permanent pacemaker placement, which was done
successfully and without complication. A chest x-ray
following the procedure confirmed proper placement of the
leads in the atrium and ventricle. The patient was observed
overnight and had no complications and continued to maintain
a perfusing rhythm with adequate hemodynamic function.
The patient's pacemaker was interrogated prior to discharge
and was functioning properly. The patient was instructed to
follow up at the Device Clinic on either Wednesday, [**2143-7-10**] or Friday, [**2143-7-12**] to have his pacemaker
interrogated again. The patient was also instructed that Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] will be contacting him early in the week to arrange
outpatient cardiology follow-up with her.
2. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: The patient's
alcohol septal ablation was complicated by the complete heart
block but not necessarily unsuccessful in terms of ablating
the septum that had been obstructing his outflow tract. An
echocardiogram following the procedure, done on [**2143-7-5**], showed a markedly dilated left atrium, moderately
dilated right atrium, severe symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with normal ventricular cavity size, mild
regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction, mild resting
left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a peak left
ventricular outflow tract gradient of 37 mm of mercury, which
was slightly higher compared with the prior study of [**2143-7-3**], prior to the ablation.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
56F with PMH of DM2, CHF with multiple admissions for CHF
exacerbation and recently discharged [**2147-11-21**] for atypical chest
pain thought to be secondary to viral syndrome presents with
tacycardia. She went to her endocrinology appointment today and
her heart rate was in the 130s, so she was send to the ED for
evaluation. She endorses approcximately 1 week of weakness and
previously had a sore throat, which has resolved. She also notes
she bumped her leg 3-4 days ago and has developed a scab with
surrounding erythema. Per the patient, she has been busy running
to various appointments over the past week or so. She has not
been eating quite as much and feels dehyrated. Of note, she
mentions her Lasix dose was recently ([**12-5**]) increased from 80mg
daily to 80mg [**Hospital1 **]. On arrival to the ED, she denied any chest
pain, palpitations, SOB, or DOE.
.
In the ED, initial vs were T 99.1, BP 175/9, RR 15, sat 100% on
2LNC, and she triggered for HR of 142. On exam had very dry
mucous membranes. Labs notable for HCT 33 (baseline), lactate
3.0, U/A negative. EKG showed sinus tach at 132, non-path Q III
which was old, STD with TWF V4-V6 that are ?rate related or
similar to prior. Patient was also given Cefazolin IV for 4cm
area cellulitis around the site of her scab. Given her CHF she
was gently rehydrated with 1L IVF bolus, following which her HR
decreased to the 120s, but rales were reported in the lung
bases. ABG at 10pm was 7.44/51/62/36. Given hypoxia and
hypercarbia on ABG and need for careful fluid balance, she is
being admitted to the ICU. Vitals at the time of transfer HR
123, BP 116/72, RR 11, and sat 97% on 2L.
.
On arrival to the ICU, she complians of feeling dehydrated. Her
ROS was + for headache and otherwise unremarkable. Per the pt,
her leg swelling is at baseline.

.
CHEST (PA & LAT)IMPRESSION: No acute intrathoracic process.
Brief Hospital Course:
56yo F with multiple admissions for dCHF exascerbation who
presents with tachycardia in the setting of a viral syndrome and
mild cellulitis admitted for close management of fluid status.
1. Tachyacrdia: Given lactate of 3.0 on admission, exam on
initial presentation, recent viral illness, and recent
uptitration lasix, patient was hypovolemic on exam. Her
tachycardia and volume status improved with gentle hydration.
Patient received antibiotics in the ED, which were held on
arrival to the ICU, as it did not appear that she had ongoing
cellulitis.
2. Hypercarbia, hypoxia: Pt does not have known primary lung
disease, but is a current smoker and has OSA. She had no prior
ABG in our system, but her bicarb since [**6-/2147**] has been
persiatntly in the 30s, indicating that she has a chronic
respiratory acidosis (i.e. CO2 retention). Given HCO3 that
appears to be between 32-36 at baseline, her expected PCO2 would
~60. ABG in the ED demonstrated a PCO2 of 51.
3. Chronic dCHF/hypertension, benign: Home diuretics and
antihypertensives were held on initial arrival to the ICU. Held
home Lasix and lisinopril given normotension and initial
hypovolemia. She was continued to be monitored on the medical
floor on metoprolol while her lasix, amlodipine, and lisinopril
were held. She continued to be normotensive, without evidence
of CHF despite holding these medications. We were unable to
resume her diuretics or other antihypertensives as an inpatient,
as it did not appear that her BP or volume status would
tolerate. Pt is scheduled to see her cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **],
on [**12-13**] for follow up, at which time she should be reevaluated
for resuming medications. Given the fact that she remained
normotensive off of multiple cardiac medications for several
days while inpatient, I suspect she has a significant dietary
component of her dCHF and hypertension. She was counselled on
the importance of maintaining sodium restriction and [**Location (un) 1131**]
food labels.
4. Type II DM: Held orals while inpatient, covered with HISS.
Resumed metformin at the time of discharge.
5. Hx of opiate abuse: Continued home methodone dose.
6. Hyperlipidemia: Continued Simvastatin 20 mg PO/NG DAILY.

Discharge Instructions:
Weigh yourself every morning, [**Name8 (MD) 138**] MD if weight goes up more
than 3 lbs.
You were admitted with dehydration, due to your lasix. You were
rehydrated, and monitored off of your lasix and some of your
blood pressure medications. We were unable to restart some of
these medications, because your blood pressure was normal off of
these medications. You will need to follow up closely with your
PCP and cardiologist to decide when to resume these medications,
which you will likely need again in the near future. For now,
please do not take until you are instructed to do so:
Lasix
Amlodipine
Lisinopril

IMAGING STUDIES:
[**2124-12-6**] CARDIAC CATH - Selective coronary angiography of this
right-dominant system demonstrated no angiographically apparent
flow-limiting disease. The LMCA, LAD, LCx and RCA had no
significant stenoses. The RCA had the catheter deeply engaged
with pleating but no fixed stenoses, it could not be selectively
engaged without deep seating and damping. Limited resting
hemodynamics revealed normal systemic arterial pressures.
ortography revealed a dilated thoracic aorta. No
angiographically apparent flow-limiting coronary artery disease.
Normal systemic arterial pressures. Dilated thoracic aorta.
.
[**2124-12-7**] VASCULAR ULTRASOUND OF RIGHT GROIN - Color Doppler and
spectral analysis of the vasculature of the right groin was
performed. Normal arterial and venous waveforms were seen in the
CFA and CFV, wihtout evidence of pseudoaneurysm. The common
femoral and greater saphenous veins were compressible, and no
filling defect was noted by Grey scale imaging. No focal fluid
collection in the region of visible hematoma was observed.
.
[**2124-12-7**] CXR (PA AND LATERAL) - pending final read per
radiology.
Brief Hospital Course:
63F with a PMH significant for acute rheumatic fever in
childhood, with known severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis ([**Location (un) 109**]
of 0.7 cm2) and aortic root dilation, now pre-op for AVR-Bental
procedure on [**2125-1-2**], who came to [**Hospital1 18**] today for an elective
pre-op left heart catheterization. The procedure was attempted
radially but was technically not possible, so right femoral
access was obtained. The patient was heparinized during the case
due to this initial radial attempt. The femoral sheath was
pulled and an appropriate ACT with good hemostasis was noted,
but then the patient felt a popping sensation and developed
hypotension and a new groin hematoma. She appeared to be having
a vagal response, and was given Atropine and IVF with
improvement. She was started on Dopamine gtt for hypotension,
but this could not be completely weaned off. The patient was
then transferred to the CCU for close monitoring.
.
# HYPOTENSION - Patient likely developed a vasovagal episode in
the settiong of groin hematoma and compression at the time of
her cardiac catheterization procedure. She received Atropine and
IVF resuscitation with some repsonse, but then required
initiation of Dopamine gtt which was subsequently weaned the
morning following her procedure. Her anti-hypertensive
medications were held in this setting. Her hematocrit was stable
on serial evaluation (range 31-34%) without evidence of further
bleeding on exam. We continued to monitor her hemodynamics
serially and provided low-dose fluid boluses as needed. Her
blood pressure was still mildly low in the 90-100 mmHg systolic
range following Dopamine discontinuation and we held her
Lisinopril and HCTZ at discharge.
.
# BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE, AORTIC ROOT DILATATION, AORTIC STENOSIS
- Patient presents with valve area of 0.7 cm2. She denies
dyspnea, syncope, lightheadedness, or pedal edema on this
admission. Of note, her aortic aneurysm was found to be 4.5-cm.
She is scheduled for upcoming AVR and aortic root replacement
(Bentall procedure) with Cardiac Surgery in [**2124-12-24**]. She
will continue her pre-op surgical evaluation prior to her
procedure with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**] in [**Month (only) 404**].
.
# GROIN HEMATOMA - In the cardiac catheterization lab, patient
was noted to develop right femoral access site groin hematoma
following sheath pull with subsequent vagal episode. Her
hematoma was clinically monitored and appeared stable overnight.
She had a stable hematocrit with no further evidence of
bleeding. We maintained an active type and screen with
peripheral IV access at all times.
.
# HYPOTHYROIDISM - We continued her home dosing of Levothyroxine
112 mcg PO daily.
.
# HYPERLIPIDEMIA - We continued her home dosing of Ezetimibe 10
mg PO daily and Simvastatin 40 mg PO daily.
.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname **],
.
It was a pleasure taking care of you during yuor admission. You
were admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at [**Hospital1 771**] after you underwent elective cardiac
catheterization prior to your planned valve surgery in [**Month (only) 404**]
of [**2124**]. Following the procedure, you developed a small right
groin hematoma (evidence of bleeding) and were closely monitored
overnight in the CCU. You briefly required IV medication to
support your low blood pressure. This medication was stopped and
your blood pressure was stable but still slightly low. Your
bleeding remained stable and your hematocrit (blooc count) was
stable prior to discharge.
Because your blood pressure was low, we have stopped your home
antihypertensives, lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. As was
discussed prior to discharge, please measure your blood pressure
at any local pharmacy and call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] with the results.
Please call your doctor or go to the emergency department if:
* You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or
tightness.
* You develop new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or
wheezing.
* You are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids, or your
medications.
* If you are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting,
diarrhea, or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include: dry
mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing.
* You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit, or have a
bowel movement.
* You experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your
urine, or experience an unusual discharge.
* Your pain is not improving within 12 hours or is not under
control within 24 hours.
* Your pain worsens or changes location.
* You have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees
Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 4393**]
Chief Complaint:
hypoxia and feeding tube replacement
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
intubation on [**10-17**]
Bronchoscopy
History of Present Illness:
55-year-old male who is s/p orthotropic liver [**Month/Year (2) **] in [**Month (only) 205**]
[**2108**] for alcoholic cirrhosis, history of colon cancer s/p
colectomy, on rapamune who was discharged from the ICU on
[**2111-9-22**] after an admission for sepsis, pneumonia, and severe
malnutrition. He required intubation during that admission and
sats were still low. He was bronched and suctioned for large
mucus plugs. Given his mucus plugging he was ultimately trached.
He then had an NG tube placed for his poor nutrition. The
decision was made not to place a feeding tube due to the liver
team's concerns of infection.
.
Per report from his nurse at rehab he weaned off the ventilator
well. He was decanulated last week and tolerated it well. His NG
tube had remained in place until earlier this week when it came
out. 2 days ago there was an attempt to place a dubhoff but it
could not be passed beyond the nasopharynx into the oropharynx.
The catheter would repeatedly enter the trachea. He was
supposed to have it placed under guidance yesterday but no
anesthesiologist was available so he was sent back to Spauling
without the dubhoff placed. He has received no TF or po
medications since [**10-13**] with the exception of sirolimus which he
has been allowed to take po. He's had no witnessed aspiration
events. He's been on D5 1/2 NS at 80cc/hr.
.
Yesterday evening when he became very anxious about not getting
the dubhoff placed and said that he felt like he would die. He
dropped his sats to the 70s and was placed on a NRB and it took
almost an hour for his sats to normalize. His o2 sats increased
when he finally fell asleep. He was maintained on the NRB
overnight. He was weaned to NC of 2L this Am but his sats
dropped to 70s when at the side of the bed working with PT.
Earlier this week he was satting fine on 0-2L.
.
His most recent set of vitals at rehab were afebrile, BP 148/104
(generally 130-low 140s), HR 85, RR24 and 97% on 2L NC. He has
been taking ice chips. He has been getting ativan 0.5mg IV q
6hrs and morphine 2mg q3hrs. HCT was approx 29 on the 14th and
15th. Then on [**10-14**] and [**10-15**] HCT was 22. He received 2 units of
blood and his HCT increased to 37.5. He was A & O x3 prior to
transfer.
.
On arrival to the ICU, vital signs were 97.9 99 151/89 RR22 93%
on 100% high flow face mask. He reports pain at the head of his
penis and pain with urination. He also reports that over the
last few days he has experienced spurts of SOB that occur
suddenly. He then begins to feel anxious like he is going to
die. This occurs on and off. He was decanulated last week and
says that his cough has improved over this time. His cough is
productive of bloody mucusy sputum but only after traumatic
dubhoff placement. He denies fevers or chills.
.
Review of systems:
(+) Per HPI , + for nausea, + for diarrhea less now that he has
not taken po x several days. Last week had between [**1-30**] BMs a
day. + for coughing up some blood since the attempts to place
dubhoff.
(-) Denies fever, chills. Denies headache, sinus tenderness,
rhinorrhea or congestion. Denies chest pain, chest pressure,
palpitations, or weakness. Denies vomiting, constipation,
abdominal pain, no blood in stool, no black stool. Denies
dysuria, frequency, or urgency. Denies arthralgias or myalgias.
Past Medical History:
#. Alcoholic cirrhosis, s/p Liver [**Month/Day (1) **] [**2109-6-6**], [**2109-6-23**]
exploration for hematoma and fluid collection, last liver biopsy
[**2110-3-14**] no acute cellular rejection, but [**Month/Day/Year 65**] for increased iron
deposition.
-H/o malnutrition
-Prior ESLD c/b ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, grade II
esophageal varices and portal gastropathy, candidal and
bacterial (SBP) peritonitis
Post-[**Month/Day/Year **] course has been complicated by diarrhea and
malnutrition s/p extensive workup that has not found a cause.
This diarrhea is controlled with cholestyramine, Imodium,
tincture of opium, and he has [**12-31**] bowel movements a day.
#. Recurrent UTIs: Most recent cultures ([**2110-5-7**]) grew pan
sensitive kleb pnemonia and corynebacterium, but in the past has
grown out resistant strains of pseudomonas sensitive only to
meropenem ([**3-6**]), to amikacin ([**2-3**]).
#. History of Torsades while on ciprofloxacin.
- Of note: recent hospitalization [**4-5**] w/ multiple episodes of
VT/torsades s/p magnesium & cardioversion x2. At that time
thought [**12-30**] to meds (Reglan, celexa, lyrica and Bactrim) and
contribution from congenital long QTc. QTc was 499-536 despite
holding meds and given daily magnesium and potassium.
- Cardiology evaluated him ad thought not a candidate at that
time for implantable device given recent infections. Followed as
outpatient by cardiology thought pt stress cardiomyopathy,
recommended avoiding zofran.
#. Anemia with baseline Hct 27-30
#. Hydroureteroephrosis/Urinary retention: Seen by [**Month/Day (2) **] as
outpatient. Most recent OMR note: secondary to recurrent
infections and that intermittent catheterization led to
hydronephrosis. Managed w/ indwelling foley.

Brief Hospital Course:
55-year-old male who is s/p orthotropic liver [**Month (only) **] in [**Month (only) 205**]
[**2108**] for alcoholic cirrhosis, history of colon cancer s/p
colectomy, on sirolimus who presents with need for placement of
Dobhoff tube and with hypoxia of 90% on 100% face mask.
.
#. Hypoxia: Infiltrates in his right lung on CXR are concerning
for PNA. On admission, he required non-rebreather to maintain
his sats. It was decided to electively intubate the patient for
placement of his NJ tube endoscopically. A bronch was also
performed which revealed RLL mucous plugging that was easily
suctioned. His sputum was sent for culture from the BAL. He
was started on vanco/meropenem for HAP coverage given his past
respiratory isolates of pseudomonas sensitive only to meropenem.
He was given aggressive chest PT and suctioning for thick
secretions. After bronchoscopy, secretion burden lessened and
he was easily extubated. He was transferred to the general liver
wards for further management. Abx were continued for presumed
HAP. He was mid 90s on RA and occasionally wearing NC O2 for
comfort. Cough productive of yellow/white sputum reported per
pt. No longer on O2 supplement at time of discharge.
Plan to monitor vanco troughs daily and dose per level w goal
15-20 for total of 14 days, started on [**10-16**]. Dose needs to be
adjusted to his renal function despite normal serum cr, pt is
cachectic and has likely renal failure unaccounted for in normal
labs.
Cont meropenem as well.
.
#. Malnutrition: Pt without any po access at time of admission.
Lost NG tube earlier this week and pt came to [**Hospital1 **] 2 days ago and
they were unable to place dubhoff as it was coming out through
trach site. Unfortunately pt returned to [**Hospital1 **] for guided placement
of dobhoff but no anesthesiologist was available so pt
unfortunately did not get it placed. NJ tube was placed in the
ICU under endoscopic guidance. He was started on tube feeds per
nutrition recs on [**10-19**]. Phos levels monitored for refeeding
syndrome and repleted as needed. Plan for LTAC to monitor levels
daily and replete as needed in acute refeeding period.
.
#. Normocytic Anemia: Baseline HCt per old notes 26-28. Likely
anemia of chronic disease [**12-30**] liver failure. B12 and folate have
been normal/high in the past also. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Hospital1 **] signout HCT was
approx 29 on the 14th and 15th. Then on [**10-14**] and [**10-15**] HCT was
22. He received 2 units of blood and his HCT increased to 37.5
at rehab. HCT here 36. Unclear whether low HCT could have been
secondary to traumatic placement of dubhoff. Increased HCT
likely secondary to hemoconcentration in the setting of NPO
although his platelets are not hemoconcentrated. Hct had been
stable on the general wards and at his baseline. He did not
require transfusion of any blood products during his stay.
.
#. Alcoholic cirrhosis s/p liver [**Month/Year (2) **] in [**2108**]: AST/ALT/Alk
ph all elevated from baseline. Post-[**Year (4 digits) **] course has been
complicated by diarrhea and malnutrition s/p extensive workup
with no obvious cause. This diarrhea in the past was controlled
with cholestyramine, Immodium, tincture of opium. Sirolimus was
restarted when PO access became available. He was restarted on
2mg daily w drug levels followed. Dosing based on labs.
.
#. Irritation at urethral meatus/pain with urination: Lidocaine
was used for comfort. Pt with long h/o UTIs. Urine culture did
not suggest acute UTI - inconclusive results. Pt afebrile w
resolved leukocytosis on vanco and meropenem for HAP.
.
#. Depression/anxiety: Home antidepressants were held until
dobhoff in place. Psychiatry to follow at [**Name (NI) **] - pt would
benefit from therapy and acute grief counseling. Would consider
adding antidepressant if clinically appropriate. uptitrated
remeron for incr'd appetite.
.
#. Chronic pancytopenia: Relative leukocytosis w left shift WBC
7.7 on admission, likely indicating infection. This fell with
treatment of pneumonia. Cell counts at baseline at time of
discharge.
.
#. Pain control: Lidocaine patch, fentanyl patch, po oxycodone
and IV morphine were continued.

hypertension, and borderline diabetes, recent admission for
dyspnea found to have CAD with 3VD, EF of 20% and 3+MR and 2+AR
with plan for medical management of CAD/CHF.
He presented with SOB. In ED initially felt to be in CHF and
siuresed. THen found to have several subsegmental PE's. He
required a NRB for a time. He was transferred to the CCU with
hypotension. Given his poor cardiac function, it was felt he was
hemodynamically unstable and would benefit from lysis of PE. TPA
and heparin administered. Afterwards, he developed a hematoma on
L groin site in area of prior catheterization. This responded to
pressure. He remained hemodynamically stable with several small
IVF boluses.

malignancy, followup CT scan in 12 months may be performed. In
the presence of primary malignancy, followup scan in 3 months
may be performed.
3. Multiple likely bilateral renal cysts.
4. Small hypodense lesion in the inferior portion of the spleen,
too small to characterize, that may represent a small
hemangioma.

[**2145-7-4**]
EKGSinus rhythm. Left axis deviation. Non-specific
intraventricular conduction
delay. Left atrial abnormality. Q waves in the inferior leads
consistent with
prior inferior myocardial infarction. Non-specific anterior and
lateral
ST-T wave changes. Compared to the previous tracing of [**2145-6-30**]
ST-T wave
changes are more extensive.
Brief Hospital Course:
1) Pulmonary Emboli - As stated in the HPI, the patient
presented with SOB and some right epigastric vs. pleuritic chest
pain. A CTA was done with showed multiple bilateral pulmonary
emboli, and due to the patients SOB and hypotension in the
setting of severe ischemic cardiomyopathy, the patient given
lysis treatment with tPA. He was started on Heparin for
anticoagulation and transitioned to coumadin by discharge. His
symptoms of SOB improved daily and his breathing was baseline at
discharge.
2) CHF - The patient has known ischemic cardiomyopathy with NYHA
Class III CHF. Initially many of his medications were held due
to hypotension, but as the patient's BP stabalized and he
clinically improved, he was placed back on all of the
medications from prior hospitalization, including lasix,
sprinolactone, lisinopril, and carvedilol, and imdur.
3) CAD - known 2 VD, not surgical candidate, s/p failure of PTCA
attempt. EKG c/w pulmonary emboli with no evidence of acute or
ongoing ischemia during hospitalization. Continued to optimize
medical management of patient with ASA, plavix, atrovastatin,
carvedilol, lisinopril, imdur, SL nitro PRN, and above
medications.
4) Hyperglycemia - the patient showed evidence of glucose
intolerance. A converstaion was had regarding the need to
treat, and it was decided that while the patient was inhospital
with sickness that could elevate blood sugars, treatment was not
felt to be necessary. However, this decision was made with the
idea that the patient would have the issued addressed more fully
as an outpt.
5) FEN - SBP remained 90-100's. Ate a cardiac/heart healthy
diet. Received daily potassium.
6) PPX - heparin to prevent DVT's and PPI to prevent stress
ulcer
7) Dispo - discharged home to son's place in [**Location (un) **], wife
accompanying. F/U scheduled with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] on Friday [**7-9**] at 2:30 pm at [**Hospital6 733**] in [**Hospital Ward Name 23**] 6.
Additional f/u on [**7-19**] with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of cardiology and [**7-26**]
with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 3037**] in [**Hospital 191**] clinic. VNA will follow patient's INR in
meantime and call Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 3037**] to make decision regarding coumadin
dosing.

History of Present Illness:
84 year old male with history recent kidney stone, recent travel
to [**Country 14635**], presents with increased lethargy, constipation, back
pain, and decreased appetite. He was admitted in [**Month (only) 205**] with
kidney stone and pyelonephritis. He was treated with
antibiotics, he passed the stone and he felt much improved. He
went on a trip to [**Country 14635**] and was very active and feeling well. He
had been told to hold his Hyzaar until he returned from his trip
and to drink plenty of fluids (2L daily). He noted that he had
new peripheral edema, for which he reduced his sodium intake. He
has a oral intake of about 2L of fluid daily, he is certain it
is not more than than, and tried to meet that goal daily. He
returned from his trip on [**7-14**] feeling well. He resumed
his Hyzaar on [**7-16**] and noted that his low back pain had
started once again. He thought it was another kidney stone.
Around [**7-24**] he noticed that he was lethargic. He was less
active, tired, and moving more slowly. He became progressively
more lethargic. He was unable to do chores, driving due to
sleepiness, or extensive walking, but maintaining ADLs.
He noted a new tremor in his right hand over the last week and
half prior to admission. He was urinating 4-5 times daily due to
increased fluid intake. He urinated small to moderate
quantities. He was unsure if he voided completely. He denies
urgency. He also complained of low back pain at the level of the
CVA, and felt the pain is similar to when he had kidney stones.
He also complained of abdominal pain, band like.
He had been constipated for 1 week. No flatus but burping. He
had no nausea vomiting. He complained of reduced appetite. Wt
loss 20 lbs over 5 years intentionally. He noticed worsening
vision, d/x of glaucoma in right eye, however, he noticed this
prior to symptoms of weakness.
He went to see his PCP on the day of admission who checked his
sodium which was 126 and he was sent to the ED. CXR
unremarkable, lots of bowel loops. He received 1000 cc NS,
morphine.

IMAGING:
CT/CTA Head [**2161-8-9**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Similar multifocal lucencies within the bihemispheric
supratentorial white matter, much of which likely relates to
chronic microvascular disease, though the presence of an acute
infarct cannot be excluded and could be further evaluated with
dedicated MRI as indicated clinically.
2. Intracranial vascular variant as detailed above, with
multifocal ectasia with a 2 mm aneurysm at the left A3 origin as
detailed.
3. Multifocal atherosclerotic disease with a focal irregularity
within the
high cervical segment of the right internal carotid artery which
may be
artifactual, though it is concerning for the possibility of a
focal dissection versus ulcerative plaque. Further imaging with
dedicated MRA with the T1 fat saturated sequence is recommended
in further evaluation of this finding.
4. Extensive atherosclerotic disease of the right vertebral
artery with near complete occlusion proximally.
5. Extensive multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical
spine, which
could be further evaluated with dedicated cervical spine MRI as
indicated
clinically.
6. Heterogeneous thyroid gland, which may represent an
underlying
multinodular goiter and should be correlated with patient's
clinical course and son[**Name (NI) 493**] findings.
CAROTID U/S [**2161-8-11**]:
IMPRESSION: Less than 40% stenosis of the bilateral internal
carotid
arteries. No flow detected in the right vertebral artery (likely
occlusion).
CARDIAC ECHO [**2161-8-11**]: LVEF: 60%
No cardiac source of embolus identified (cannot definitively
exclude).
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2160-9-9**],
left ventricular systolic function is probably similar although
images are technically suboptimal for comparison. Mitral
regurgitation is now less prominent and estimated pulmonary
artery systolic pressure is now lower.
MRI/MRA Head and Neck with T1 dissection protocol [**2161-8-12**] Wet
Read:
No evidence of R ICA dissection.
No evidence of acute ischemia or bleed.
Extensive white matter changes consistent with chronic
microvascular infarcts.
Brief Hospital Course:
MICU COURSE. Patient was admitted to MICU for hypertonic saline
for sodiumd of 120 on [**2161-8-6**] (his nadir). He was started on
hypertonic saline at 30ml/hr. Goal was to correct by 10 mEq/L
over first 24 hours, and with correction not to exceed 0.5 mEq/L
per hour. He was also placed on fluid restriction 750 ml per
day and HCTZ-Losartan was held. Upon transfer to the floors,
sodium had increased to 129. The patient also had a transient
hypokalemia of 3.2 on [**2161-8-7**]. His potassium was repleted and
was found to be normal throughout the remainder of this
admission.
FLOOR COURSE: On [**2161-8-9**], the patient was transferred to
medicine. On the floor, the patient appeared in NAD with
improved lethargy, and was alert and oriented to person, place,
and time. A serum cortisol was slightly elevated at 20.4 and a
TSH was normal. The etiology of his hyponatremia was deemed to
be due to his high fluid intake over the past few months and his
decreased sodium intake, in addition to his HCTZ use. He was
continued on a 750 mL fluid restriction, high sodium diet, and
was kept off of HCTZ. His serum sodium trended towards normal
and was 133 by [**2161-8-11**]; on this date he was increased to a 1L
daily fluid allowance, per nephrology recommendations. His
serum creatinine remained normal throughout admission. On the
day prior to discharge, he had a serum sodium of 136. Urine
osmolarities showed upward trend on fluid restriction. Patient
was discharged on 1- 1.5L fluid restriction.
On [**2161-8-10**], the patient was noted to have a new left sided facial
droop. He was triggered for stroke and neurology evaluated the
patient. CT/CTA of head/brain showed no acute infarct or bleed
but there was a question of artifact vs. focal dissection in the
right ICA. An MRI/MRA of brain/neck on [**2161-8-11**] confirmed no
acute infarct or bleed and showed no evidence of focal R ICA
dissection. The patient was ruled out for stroke, and 3 sets of
troponins were done and found to be normal. Carotid u/s on
[**2161-8-11**] showed stable 40% ICA stenosis bilaterally and cardiac
echo showed no evidence of thrombus formation and LVEF of 60%.
His neuro exam over the next 48 hours progressed to include the
upper part of the left face, and the patient was diagnosed with
Bell's Palsy. Ear and skin examination showed no evidence of
herpes zoster or other infection. HSV and Lyme titers were drawn
and pending at the time of discharge per neurology
recommendations. The patient was started on a one week course
of 60 mg po prednisone daily for his Bells Palsy on [**2161-8-12**] with
no taper. He was also started on a nightly eye patch and
artificial tear lubricant to prevent corneal dryness. In
addition, since Lyme serologies are pending, we are empirically
treating patient with po doxycycline x 21 days and recommend
follow-up of labs by patient's PCP and rehab facility (results
should be back by Tuesday, [**2161-8-18**]).
During this hospitalization, the patient also had complained of
upper back pain (initially [**9-12**], radiating down arms
bilaterally). Xrays of the total spine were completed and
showed only degenerative changes. The patient's pain improved
on Tylenol and was deemed to be musculoskeletal in origin.
The patient was continued on his home medications for CAD and
HTN during admission, with the exception of HCTZ which was
discontinued. His blood pressures were noted to trend up during
his hospital course to systolic BPs in the 150s-160s. Once
acute cerebral infarct/ischemia was ruled out by imaging, the
patient's atenolol was increased from 37.5 mg daily to 50 mg
daily for better blood pressure control ([**2161-8-12**]). He continued
on Losartan 100 mg po daily.
His vital signs were stable throughout admission. The patient
was deemed medically stable for discharge on [**2161-8-12**]. He was
evaluated by physical therapy who determined that the patient
would benefit from discharge to a rehabilitation facility. He
has been informed to have close follow-up with his primary care
physician within two weeks of discharge from rehab. A follow-up
appointment has been made for the patient with urology, as he
will likely require a different prevention approach regarding
his nephrolithiasis.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Hyponatremia
Bells Palsy
Musculoskeletal Back Pain
Discharge Condition:
Stable, Na 136.
Discharge Instructions:
Mr. [**Known lastname 93960**], you were admitted to the hospital because of
hyponatremia, or low blood sodium level. This caused you to
have confusion and lethargy prior to presenting to the hospital.
You were originally treated with intravenous hypertonic saline
in the medical intensive care unit. You were shortly after
transferred to the medicine floor for further management. We
initially restricted your daily fluid intake, and closely
monitored your serum sodium levels. Your sodium levels improved
to normal during your stay. We think that you had low sodium
levels because you were drinking large amounts of water (2
liters/day) to prevent kidney stones, and because your
medication, Hyzaar, contained hydrochlorothiazide, which is
known to potentially cause low blood sodium. At home please
watch what you drink and only drink 1 liter per day. A follow up
appointment has been made for you with urology so that they can
determine the appropriate kidney stone prevention plan. While
you are in rehab, your sodium level should be checked once daily
for the first week to ensure that your sodium level remains
normal.
You were also found to have a new left lower facial droop while
in the hospital, which began on [**2161-8-9**] and progressed to involve
the upper part of your left face as well. You were evaluated by
neurology, and CT and MRI scans of your brain and neck showed no
evidence of stroke. Carotid artery ultrasound and cardiac
echocardiogram were normal and without change. Given your
symptoms and the negative head imaging, you were diagnosed with
Bells Palsy. Bells Palsy is a self-limited condition that is
often due to an unclear reason but can be due to viral or
bacterial infection. It is estimated that 85% of people show
signs of recovery within three weeks and 71% of people have
complete recovery. We tested your blood for herpes simplex virus
and Lyme disease to see if perhaps these infections caused your
symptoms. These tests were pending at the time of discharge, and
may be followed-up by your primary care provider as an
outpatient. As we await the results of these tests, we will
empirically treat you with Doxycycline antibiotic for presumed
Lyme infection. If the Lyme test returns negative, you may stop
this medication. This lab result should be resulted by Tuesday
[**2161-8-18**], and your physician at the rehabilitation facility or
your primary care provider should follow this up for you. You
were started on a one week course of prednisone for the Bells
Palsy. Once you are out of rehab, you should see your primary
care provider within two weeks so that he may assess you and
manage your condition further if needed.
In addition, you had complained of back pain during this
admission. X-rays done of your complete spine showed only bony
arthritic changes that are expected findings as people age. Your
pain was likely related to a musculoskeletal strain, and
improved over the time you were admitted in the hospital on
Tylenol and a Lidocaine patch as needed. As you also complained
of constipation, we placed you on a bowel medication regimen as
outlined below in the medication section.
Lastly, you were found to have elevated blood pressure once we
stopped your Hyzaar. We continued you on Losartan, and
increased your atenolol from 37.5 mg daily to 50 mg daily.
You were deemed medically stable for discharge to a
rehabilitation facility on [**2161-8-12**]. Physical therapy evaluated
you and felt that a rehab facility would help you increase your
strength prior to going home.
Should you have any worsening or new lethargy, neurological
symptoms, pain, or any other concerning symptom you should be
seen by a medical provider [**Name Initial (PRE) 2227**].
The following changes have been made to your medications:
STOPPED: HYZAAR
CHANGED MEDICATIONS:
Atenolol 25 mg po once daily --->to Atenolol 50 mg po once daily
NEW MEDICATIONS:
*Losartan 100 mg po once daily for high blood pressure
*Prednisone 60 mg po once daily for 7 days then stop (no taper
needed) for Bells Palsy
*Docusate Sodium 100 mg capsule take one twice per day for
constipation.
*Senna 8.6 mg tablet, take one twice per day for constipation.
*Bisacodyl 5 mg tablet, 2 tabs once daily for constipation, hold
for diarrhea.
*Lactulose syrup 30 mL, take once every 6 hours as needed for
constipation.
*Fleet enema, as needed for constipation
*Acetaminophen 500 mg tablet, take 1-2 tabs every 6 hours as
needed for pain.
*Lidocaine 5% patch one patch daily as needed for back pain.
*Erythromycin 5mg/g ointment, apply one thin ribbon to bottom L
inner eyelid twice daily for eye redness.
*Tears Again 1.4% drops, 1-2 drops into the left eye three times
per day for left eye dryness until Bells Palsy resolves.
*Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily x 21 days for infection.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Transferred for cardiac catheterization.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 68 year old man with
coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass
graft, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, who
presented to [**Hospital3 36606**] Hospital for sharp [**11-15**] back
pain between scapulae. No radiation of pain or shortness of
breath or palpitations associated. He had a similar episode
of back pain prior to his coronary artery bypass graft
approximately twenty years ago. He has not had a recurrence
of the back pain until approximately one to two months ago
when he started developing back pain with exertion. This
pain was relieved with rest. It has never been associated
with shortness of breath, palpitations, diaphoresis, nausea
or vomiting. On the day of admission, he had one episode of
the [**11-15**] back pain which occurred while at rest.
At the outside hospital, a CT angiogram was performed which
was negative for dissection. He was found to have evolving
Electrocardiographic changes with T wave inversions initially
in V1 through V3 which then developed within ten hours to
include V1 through V6 as well as I and aVL. He was started
on Nitroglycerin, Lovenox and given one dose of Lasix and
sent to [**Hospital1 69**] for
catheterization.
On presentation to [**Hospital1 69**], he
was pain free for the last few hours. He had one episode of
[**2-15**] back pain which occurred during transient which was
relieved with one sublingual Nitroglycerin. He currently is
pain free.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: He does complain of bilateral lower
extremity edema over the last weeks to months. He has had no
recent change in weight. No change in bowel or bladder
function. No bright red blood per rectum or melena. No
fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, no recent cough or trauma to
the back.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery

mucous membranes are moist. The oropharynx is clear. The
patient is normocephalic and atraumatic. Sclera were
anicteric. Neck was supple without lymphadenopathy. Jugular
venous distention approximately eight centimeters above
sternal notch. Chest - The lungs were clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Cardiovascular - regular rate, II/VI systolic
murmur present at the left sternal border. No S3 or S4 were
noted. The abdomen was obese, soft, nontender, nondistended,
normoactive bowel sounds, no hepatosplenomegaly was noted.
The extremities demonstrated 1 to 2+ bilateral lower
extremity pitting edema. Back examination demonstrated no
costovertebral angle or paraspinal tenderness to palpation.
No reproducible back pain. On neurologic examination, he is
alert and oriented times three, grossly intact.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission, white blood cell count was
10.0, hemoglobin 12.7, hematocrit 38.4, platelet count
238,000, MCV 88. INR 1.1. Sodium 137, potassium 4.4,
chloride 102, bicarbonate 24, blood urea nitrogen 28,
creatinine 1.1, glucose 218,000.
Electrocardiogram on admission to [**Hospital1 190**] showed normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 46
beats per minute, T wave inversion in V1 through V6, I and
aVL consistent with electrocardiogram performed at outside
hospital approximately 19 hours before. Right bundle branch
block was noted which on reviewing previous notes has been
present in the past.
IMPRESSION: This is a 68 year old man with coronary artery
disease, status post coronary artery bypass graft
approximately twenty years ago, diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, hyperlipidemia, who presents with anginal
equivalent of back pain, starting approximately one to two
months ago associated with exertion. Now with one episode of
back pain at rest and electrocardiographic changes consistent
with unstable angina.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Cardiovascular disease - coronary artery disease - The
patient was transferred from outside hospital for unstable
angina with anterolateral electrocardiographic changes. On
arrival, he was pain free with his anginal equivalent being
back pain. He was continued on his intravenous Heparin and
Nitroglycerin without incident. Cardiac enzymes were
continued to be cycled and he was noted to have an increase
in his CK from 89 at outside hospital to as high as 145. His
troponin, however, bumped from less than 0.4 initially to
13.3 on arrival at [**Hospital1 69**].
This, however, trended down.
He had one episode of back pain [**4-15**] in intensity on hospital
day number two which was relieved after approximately five
minutes with an increase in his Nitroglycerin. Although he
states that the pain is in a similar location, it was felt
that it was most likely musculoskeletal in origin given that
it was not as intense, relieved with very little
intervention, and no electrocardiographic changes were
present simultaneously. Nevertheless, cardiac enzymes
continued to be cycled and were pending at the time of this
dictation.
Given that he remained relatively pain free throughout the
first two hospital days, it was planned for a cardiac
catheterization on Monday, [**2165-7-29**]. Should he become
unstable in the interim, an emergent cardiac catheterization
and/or addition of Integrilin to his medication regimen will
be considered.
He was continued on Aspirin and Lipitor, however, his
Dipyridamole was held secondary to possible inducible
ischemia from the medication. As well, his Diltiazem was
held given his acute coronary syndrome.
Lopressor was administered infrequently given his relative
bradycardia with heart rate in the 40s.
Congestive heart failure - He was diuresed at outside
hospital prior to transfer for mild congestive heart failure
with lower extremity edema and mild decrease in oxygen
saturation. Chest x-ray was performed which showed no
evidence of cardiomegaly without any evidence of acute
congestive heart failure. He was continued on Zestril,
Hydralazine and Hydrochlorothiazide. Of note, his oxygen
saturation remained in the mid 90s during the first two days
of hospitalization.
Cardiac rhythm - He did have sinus bradycardia which appears
to be chronic per his OMR notes. He was relatively
bradycardic even from his baseline with heart rate in the 40s
on presentation. This improved slightly and his Lopressor
was given as tolerated for heart rate greater than 55.
2. Endocrinology - His Glucophage was held secondary to
planned cardiac catheterization. He was continued on home
insulin regimen and Humalog insulin sliding scale.
3. Renal - His creatinine was 1.1, however, given his
unknown baseline, he will be given two doses of Mucomyst
prior to cardiac catheterization as well as prehydrated.
The remainder of hospital course including cardiac
catheterization results will be dictated in discharge summary
addendum which will include discharge diagnoses and
medications.

Pertinent Results:
CT Head [**4-14**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Small left temporal subdural hemorrhage, without mass effect.
2. 4 x11 mm ovoid hyperdensity in the corpus callosal genu on
the right is
not typical in location for contusion. In the setting of trauma,
diffuse
axonal injury typically occur within the corpus callosum.
However, given
history of a conscious patient with reported GCS of 15, this is
unlikely.
This lesion is far remote from the site of impact, and therefore
less likely
to represent contusion. Additional less likely differential
considerations
include focal hemorrhage from a pre-existing vascular
malformation or
metastatic lesion from a primary hyperattenuated malignancy such
as melanoma.
Comparison to more remote prior exam when available would be
helpful.
Ultimately, MRI may be usefult to further characterize.
3. Large right parietooccipital subgaleal hematoma with
laceration as well as
left temporal small subdural hemorrhage, consistent with coup
and contrecoup
injury.

Chief Complaint:
Hypotension
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Right internal jugular central line placement
History of Present Illness:
67M history of gout, CVA, DM, ? cardiac disease who has had one
week of right hip pain. He presented to [**Hospital3 **] because
of intense hip pain with inability to walk. He was found to be
hypotensive with BP 80/50.
At [**Hospital1 **], he also had RLQ pain. CT abd/pelvis was negative for
acute pathology. He received 2L NS but was still hypotensive to
SBP 70s, was started on levophed, and then received 2.5 L NS.
Labs were significant for acute renal failure with Cr 4. He
became fluid overloaded with difficulty breathing with resultant
pOx in low 90s during IVF infusion. He was placed on BiPap,
which helped with work of breathing. He was given zosyn for ?
sepsis and transferred to [**Hospital1 18**].
[**Hospital1 **] labs were significant Trop-I < 0.06, Cr 4, HCO3 10
[**Hospital1 **] imaging showed CT Abd showing normal appendix with no
free air, bowel obstruction, or gross intestinal inflammation.
In the ED, initial VS were: 01:24 (unable) 98.6 90 98/56 24 99%
15L on NRB.
He was audibly wheezing and working to breath. He was placed on
BiPap which helped his work of breathing, and he calmed down. On
physical exam, he had tenderness to palpation in RLQ, right hip,
and groin/scrotum. There was concern for [**Last Name (un) 12653**] gangrene, so
surgery consult was obtained. CT Pelvis was obtained that did
not suggest the diagnosis. He was also noted to have a "slight
pericardial effusion" on US, but no tamponade and pulsus only of
6.
He received 1 L NS with placement of RIJ CVC. Levophed was
started at 0.8 mcg/min with resultant BP 120/80, HR 95, RR 17,
pOx 100 % on biPap. He received flagyl for anaerobic coverage
and vancomycin in addition to zosyn given at [**Hospital1 **].

Diagnostic testing was performed:
- CXR: Borderline cardiomegaly, widening of mediastium,
increased interstitial edema with pulmonary overload pattern.
- CT Pelvis: Comminuted fracture of the right femoral head with
associated cortical breakthrough and step off of the right
acetabulum.
BiPap settings were stable throughout ER course (NIV FiO2:30 PS:

IMAGING:
ECG [**7-27**]: Sinus rhythm with slowing of the rate as compared to
the previous tracing
of [**2159-7-27**]. There is variation in the precordial lead placement.
More
precordial lead voltage is recorded. There is low limb lead
voltage. Cannot
exclude prior inferior wall myocardial infarction. Compared to
the previous
tracing of [**2159-7-27**] no diagnostic interim change.
ECHO [**7-27**]: The left atrium is elongated. The right atrium is
moderately dilated. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal
wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Left
ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic valve is not well seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is
no pericardial effusion.
CT PELVIS W/O CONTRAST [**7-27**]:
1. Comminuted fracture of the right femoral head with associated
cortical breakthrough and step off of the right acetabulum .
2. Minimal thickening of bilateral scrotal skin and skin along
the medial thighs (corresponding to area of redness clinically;
? cellulitis) with no focal fluid collections or gas locules to
sugggest fourniers/abscess.

Brief Hospital Course:
67-year-old Vietnamese male history of gout, CVA, DM2, ? cardiac
disease presenting with one week history of right hip pain and
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for hypotension of uncertain etiology and
right hip fracture. Initially admitted to MICU for stabilization
due to his hypotension and hypoxemic respiratory failure
requiring BiPAP, then transferred to the floor.
ACUTE ISSUES
# Shock, undifferentiated
Patient presented with hip fracture and hypotension. Initially
thought to be sepsis; however, no obvious source in scrotum,
pelvis/abdomen, urine, chest or other source. Cardiogenic shock
appears to be unlikely. Hypovolemic shock may be possibility
although no clear history of dehydration, and BP did appear to
respond to IVF (currently 5.5 L NS total received on admission)
with CVP 15. Distributive shock from hip fracture or even fat
emboli may also explain picture. Secondary causes of hypotension
such as pericardial effusion or systemic condition such as
adrenal insufficiency were investigated and ruled out. His blood
pressures stabilized while in the MICU, he was taken off of
pressors and transferred to the floor. There, his blood
pressures remained stable throughout the remainder of his
hospital course.
# Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
Etiology is likely secondary to flash pulmonary edema during
fluid resuscitation and also respiratory compensation for severe
metabolic acidosis although did have superimposed respiratory
acidosis from likely from tiring out before biPAP. Patient was
placed on BiPAP in ED and for a period of time while in the
MICU. His respiratory status stabilized and after being
transferred to the floor he maintained good oxygen saturation
levels while on room air for the remainder of his hospital
course.
# Acute renal failure
Admission Cr 3.7 (from 4) with K 5.8 HCO3 10 consistent with
primary non-gap metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap and
superimposed respiratory acidosis. Baseline Cr [**2159-6-22**] was 1.79.
Renal failure likely pre-renal +/- some element of intrinsic
disease +/- drug side effect from numerous NSAIDs on medication
list. No evidence of obstruction on CT Abd. Patient's Cr was
monitored during admission and was noted to have down trend in
Cr following IV hydration. The patients creatinine continued to
improve after being transferred to the floor, 1.1 on discharge.
# Right Hip Avascular Necrosis:
Patient received CT Pelvis to evaluate for Fournier's gangrene
in setting of scrotal skin changes, was negative for Fournier's,
but concerning Right hip changes were noted. Final read per
radiology showed "Right femoral head avascular necrosis with
subchondral collapse and subchondral fracture. Cystic area
within the anterior femoral head presumably secondary to
subchondral cystic change." Ortho was consulted for further
evaluation and management. They suggested that given his acute
medical instability that the patient follow up as [**Known firstname **] outpatient
for operative management. Until follow up with Ortho, patient is
non-weight bearing on the RLE.
#New Onset Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Response
While in the MICU, the patient had two brief episodes of AFib
with RVR; once requiring a dose of IV metoprolol, and once
self-converting into sinus rhythm. During his hospital course on
the floor, however, the patient again began to enter a rhythm
consistent with AFib, often times with a ventricular rate into
the 140s. His metoprolol was increased gradually, but because of
persistent episodes of AFib the decision was made to convert the
patient from short acting to Metop XL 100mg [**Hospital1 **]. On this regimen
the patient remained in sinus rhythm for the remainder of his
hospital course. Given his new diagnosis of AFib and his history
of diabetes, CAD and prior CVA, the decision was made to
initiate anticoagulation with coumadin. Given 5mg on [**7-31**], 5mg
on [**8-1**], INR was 4.0 on [**8-2**], so coumadin stopped. Please check
daily INR at rehab, and restart at 2mg daily once INR between
[**1-5**].
# Gout - On the day prior to discharge, patient had swelling of
his PIP joints in bilateral middle fingers. Restarted on
indomethicin and stopped allopurinol in the acute setting. Plan
to restart allopurinol once acute flare is treated.
# Abdominal pain/scrotum issue
Patient's scrotum appears to be without acute infection. There
is no acute abdomen to explain abdominal pain on admission. At
the time od discharge, his abdomen is pain free.
# Normocytic, normocytic Anemia
Unknown baseline Hgb. He had positive gross blood on rectal
exam. There is no evidence of blood loss into hip fracture at
this time with neurovascular structures intact.
# Thrombocytopenia
Patient has platelets of 89 on admission with normal coags.
Likely from marrow suppresion given acute illness with no
stigmata of chronic liver disease.
CHRONIC ISSUES
# Diabetes - The patient was maintained on [**Known firstname **] insulin sliding
scale during his hospital course.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
The patient will need to follow up with our [**Hospital 9696**] Clinic
in order to plan possible operative intervention for his right
hip avascular necrosis once he is more medically stable.
The patient will need close follow up to monitor his INR given
the initiation of anticoagulation therapy during his hospital
course.
Will need to restart allopurinol after acute flare.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname **],
It was a pleasure to take care of you during your recent
hospitalization at [**Hospital1 69**]. As you
know, you were hospitalized with right hip pain that was
complicated by low blood pressure and difficulty breathing. You
were admitted to the ICU and given IV fluids which helped your
blood pressure. Unfortunately this caused your lungs to build up
fluid which made it difficult for you to breath. You were placed
on BiPAP and your oxygen status improved. We then gave you
medication to remove the fluid from your lungs, and your
breathing improved even further.
Your hip pain is the result of a type of fracture known as
avascular necrosis. It is unclear at this time why you had such
a fracture without any trauma. Our orthopaedic surgeons believe
that you should follow up with them as [**Known firstname **] outpatient to plan
possible operative fixation in the future once you are doing
better from a medical standpoint.
During your hospital stay you developed [**Known firstname **] irregular heart beat
known as atrial fibrillation. We gave you medication in order to
control your heart rate and keep it regular, and you should
continue this medication as [**Known firstname **] outpatient. Because people who
have atrial fibrillation are at a higher risk of developing
strokes, we began treating you with a blood thinner known as
coumadin, which can help decrease this risk.
We have made the following changes to your medications:
START
Coumadin
Metoprolol

IMAGING
.
CT PELVIS W/CONTRAST [**2197-8-28**] 6:16 PM
CT CHEST W/CONTRAST; CT ABDOMEN W/CONTRAST
IMPRESSION:
1. Free air within the anterior mediastinum, and air anterior to
the epicardium, of indeterminate etiology.
2. Edema within the lungs.
3. Small right pleural effusion.
4. Post-surgical changes of the abdomen, with an open abdominal
wound and stomach, small and large bowel protruding through the
wound defect. Free air and free fluid in the abdomen. Per the
operative note, there was a tear at the root of the mesentery
with vascular injury.
5. Multiple fractures, including the T11 vertebral body with
retropulsion of fragments into the central spinal canal. The
acuity of this finding is uncertain, as there are no priors for
comparison. There is a fracture of some transverse processes of
the lumbar spine, and a fracture of the right posterior eleventh
rib.
6. Enhancement of the small bowel mucosa suggesting shock.
.
.
CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST [**2197-8-28**] 6:16 PM
CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of cervical spine fracture.
2. Grade I anterolisthesis of C3 on C4.
3. Edema at the lung apices.
.
.
CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST [**2197-8-28**] 6:15 PM
INDICATION: Status post MVC. Intubated.
There are no prior studies for comparison.
NONCONTRAST HEAD CT SCAN: There is a very small amount of
subdural blood along the falx cerebri on the left side near the
vertex (series 2 images 22 through 27). No other definite areas
of hemorrhage are appreciated. The ventricles and cisterns are
normal. The density values of the brain parenchyma are normal,
with preservation of the [**Doctor Last Name 352**]-white matter differentiation.
There are widened bifrontal extra-axial spaces, which may be
related to involutional change. There is a small amount of fluid
layering posteriorly within each maxillary sinus. There is
partial opacification of the ethmoid air cells. The mastoid air
cells are clear. Osseous and soft tissue structures are
unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: Small subdural hematoma along the left side of the
falx cerebri. No shift of the normally midline structures.
The finding was discussed with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 69770**] at the conclusion
of the exam.
.
.
TRAUMA #2 (AP CXR & PELVIS PORT) [**2197-8-28**] 6:08 PM
INDICATION: Trauma.
CHEST: Trauma supine chest and pelvis reviewed. There is diffuse
opacification of both lungs. The left diaphragmatic border is
obscured. The pleura are grossly clear without large effusions
or pneumothoraces. No displaced rib fractures are identified.
The patient is intubated with the ET tube located 1.5 cm above
the carina. NG tube is present in the stomach. The heart and
mediastinal contours are within normal limits given the supine
projection.
IMPRESSION: Diffuse opacification of both lungs likely secondary
to pulmonary edema versus contusion. ET tube 1.5 cm above the
carina, some withdrawal may provide more optimal position is
possible.
PELVIS: No displaced pelvic fractures are identified. Evaluation
of the proximal femur is limited secondary to rotation. There is
lumbar scoliosis with convexity to the left with associated
osteophytes and degenerative changes. Bowel gas is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No gross injury.
.
.
CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST [**2197-8-29**] 10:57 AM
INDICATION: Evaluation for interval change in a 70-year-old
lady, status post motor vehicle accident. Assessment for
intracranial hemorrhage.
TECHNIQUE: Axial images of CT of the head.
COMPARISON: [**2197-8-28**].
FINDINGS: There is left subdural hematoma on the free edge of
falx that is unchanged in comparison to prior study. There is no
new acute extra- or intraaxial hemorrhage. There is no major or
minor territorial infarct. There is no mass effect or shift of
normal midline structures. There is no fracture line or soft
tissue density abnormality identified. There is normal soft
tissue density of the brain parenchyma. There are widened stable
bifrontal extra-axial spaces which are related to atrophic
changes . There are air fluid levels within the maxillary
sinuses and sphenoid sinuses that are unchanged in comparison to
prior study. Mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION: Unchanged small left subdural hematoma along the
falx. No new change.
.
.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2197-8-30**] 4:54 AM
INDICATION: Status post MVC and exploratory laparotomy. Evaluate
for interval change.
FINDINGS: Compared with [**2197-8-28**], lines and tubes are unchanged in
position. There has been considerable partial interval clearing
of the diffuse patchy pulmonary densities, with mild residual
atelectasis at the left base.
.
.
CT SINUS/MANDIBLE/MAXILLOFACIAL W/O CONTRAST [**2197-8-31**] 9:16 AM
INDICATION: Trauma, evaluate for facial fractures.
COMPARISON: Head CT, [**2197-8-29**].
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired contiguous axial images of the facial
bones were obtained without intravenous contrast.
Three-dimensional reconstructed images were obtained.
CT OF THE FACIAL BONES WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: No facial
fracture is identified. Mild-to-moderate mucosal thickening is
seen involving all of the paranasal sinuses, with air-fluid
levels demonstrated in the maxillary, sphenoid, and ethmoid
sinuses. All of these findings are likely secondary to patient's
intubated state. Tiny hyperdensity within a right sphenoid sinus
air cell likely represents a minute osteoma. Visualized portions
of the mastoid air cells are clear. Surrounding soft tissue
structures appear unremarkable. There is extensive
atherosclerotic calcification of the cavernous portion of both
internal carotid arteries.
At C2-3 and C3-4, facet degenerative changes are present, more
pronounced on the right leading to mild-to-moderate neural
foraminal narrowing.
An endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube are partially imaged
within the airway and esophagus respectively.
IMPRESSION:
1. No facial fracture identified.
2. Air-fluid levels within the paranasal sinuses consistent with
the patient's intubated state.

CTA NECK W&W/OC & RECONS; CTA HEAD W&W/O C & RECONS [**2197-9-6**]
6:19 PM
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION: ? aneurysm in carotid system in
setting of CNIII palsy
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Cranial nerve III palsy, question carotid
aneurysm.
NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT
Exam shows near complete resolution of the left parafalcine
subdural hematoma posteriorly seen on prior study of [**2197-8-29**]. The
low-density extra-axial fluid collections over the frontal
aspects of both hemispheres are again noted and unchanged.
Ventricular dimension is unchanged.
IMPRESSION: Some resorption of the left parafalcine subdural
hematoma. No other new findings.
CT ANGIOGRAM OF THE CERVICAL VESSELS WITH MULTIPLANAR
REFORMATTED IMAGES AND 3-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTED IMAGES
IMPRESSION: No evidence of significant internal carotid artery
stenosis. See above comment regarding the appearance of C4-5 on
the left.
CT ANGIOGRAM OF THE INTRACRANIAL CIRCULATION
There is no evidence of aneurysm or flow abnormality. The
cavernous portions are always difficult to assess on CT
angiography for technical reasons. If there remains a clinical
question regarding a small aneurysm in either cavernous portion,
formal catheter angiography may be considered for further
evaluation.
IMPRESSION: No definite evidence of aneurysm. See above comment
regarding the appearance of the cavernous portions of the
internal carotid arteries.

Sex: F
Surgeon: [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 5732**], MD 2211
INDICATIONS: This woman has been in a motor vehicle accident.
She was found to be in shock and her abdomen was distended. I
should mention that 1 of her pupils was also wide.
PROCEDURE: She was taken to the operating room and placed in a
supine position, given a general anesthetic. The abdomen was
prepped and draped using Betadine. A vertical incision was made
taking it down to the level of the fascia. The fascia was
opened. The abdomen was opened and the following findings were
noted. Considerable bleeding was noted within the abdomen. There
was a large rent in the mesentery of the small bowel that
extended into the right lower quadrant. There was bleeding from
vessels at the root of the mesentery and we managed to control
the bleeding with several sutures of 3-0 silk and 2-0 silk up
through the mesentery. The
patient, at this point, was extremely hypothermic and we needed
to get control of this and we had transected the bowel both on
the ileum and also on the ascending colon. We removed the
intestine by clamping with [**Doctor Last Name 1356**] clamps and then ligating with
2-0 silk sutures. Once this was done, we carried out a very fast
anastomosis using the linear cutting stapler and a
TA stapler across the remaining part. The anastomotic line was
inverted using interrupted 3-0 silk sutures. At this point,
after making sure that we controlled the blood vessel in the
mesentery with the silk sutures, we decided to leave the
mesenteric defect open. I should mention that we carried out a
look at the spleen. The spleen was not bleeding. There was an
adhesion to the lower end of the spleen which was divided. The
liver was similarly not bleeding. We did not open the lesser
sac. We placed a [**Location (un) 5701**] bag in place and then used warm saline
to irrigate. We then closed the abdomen using 0 Prolene suture
in continuous fashion to the skin and
thus the abdomen was left open, the [**Location (un) 5701**] bag being used to
hold the abdominal contents in place. Two [**Location (un) 1661**]-[**Location (un) 1662**] drains
were left in place and a superficial dressing was placed. There
were 2 liters of blood within the abdomen. This was suctioned
out with the autotransfusor and got the bloodback from the cell
[**Doctor Last Name 10105**].
ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: 500 cc.

OPERATIVE REPORT
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Motor vehicle crash resulting in
open abdomen mesenteric vein avulsion.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Motor vehicle crash resulting in
open abdomen mesenteric vein avulsion.
PROCEDURE:
1. Closure of mesenteric defect.
2. Closure of abdomen.
INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY: The patient is a 70-year-old female
who sustained a motor vehicle crash that required an exploratory
laparotomy the day prior. She was noted to have a mesenteric
avulsion with profuse bleeding from the venous system. These
were suture ligated, and hemostasis was achieved; however, the
abdomen was left open due to the necessity for a second look to
assess the viability of the bowel, thus the patient was taken
back to the operating room for closure.
PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: The patient was brought to the operating
room in stable condition. She was already intubated in the
intensive care unit prior to presentation to the operating room.
The abdomen was prepped and draped with sterile Betadine. The
previously-placed [**Location (un) 5701**] bag was removed from the
circumferential surrounding skin, and the abdomen was explored.
There was noted to be adequate hemostasis at the mesenteric
rent. The bowel seemed adequately viable. Four laparotomy pads
were removed from the abdomen which had been placed as packing
the day before.
The mesenteric defect was then closed with interrupted 3-0 silk
sutures at the previously performed ileocolostomy anastomosis.
An NG tube was placed with adequate positioning in the stomach.
The wound was then closed with looped #1 PDS sutures. It was
noted to come together nicely without undue
tension. The peak inspiratory pressures on the ventilator did
not increase substantially at all during this procedure.
The subcutaneous tissue was then copiously irrigated, and the
skin was closed with skin staples. The patient was transferred
back to the ICU in stable condition. All sponge and needle
counts were correct at the end of the case x 2. The patient did
undergo an abdominal x-ray, as the previous
sponge count had not been counted. There was no evidence of any
retained instruments or sponge counts in the abdomen.
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was present and scrubbed during the entire procedure.

Brief Hospital Course:
She was admitted to the trauma service; because of a positive
DPL and FAST exams she was immediately taken to the operating
room for exploratory laparotomy (see Pertinent results).
.
Neurosurgery was consulted because of the subdural hematoma;
this injury was nonoperative; serial head CT scans were
performed and were stable; neurologically she has remained
intact. She was fitted for a TLSO brace because of her L1
transverse process fracture. This will need to be worn at all
times while out of bed; while in bed if not worn she will need
to be log rolled. She will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 548**] in 6 weeks
for repeat imaging.
.
Ophthalmology was consulted for ptosis of her right eye
following the crash; ?post traumatic CN III palsy; this was
nonoperative. She underwent CTA of her head and neck, no acute
processes were identified (see Pertinent results).
.
Her finger sticks were somewhat elevated throughout her hospital
stay 200's; she was placed on a sliding scale. There was no
documented history of Diabetes. She also experienced vertigo
during this admission; she was started on Meclizine which
improved the dizziness that she was experiencing. Physical
therapy worked with patient to assess for BPPV; the vertigo was
not reproducible with maneuvers.
.
She also experienced 2 days of nausea and vomiting; KUB did not
reveal any obstruction. She was placed on Reglan which was
eventually stopped; the Meclizine seemed to improve these
symptoms. It was later discovered that she had a UTI and that
she has had frequent UTI's in the past and was planning on
having bladder suspension surgery in the future prior to her
admission. This could be the reason for her elevated finger
sticks. Ciprofloxacin for 10 days was started.
.
She tolerated a regular diet and her staples were removed and
steri-strips with benzoin were applied prior to her discharge to
her rehabilitation facility.

of stool. Still blood with no stool. No hematemesis or
hematochezia. No chest pain, no SOB. no syncope or pre-syncope.
Hct was as low as 29, and pt reportedly given 4units of PRBCs.
Enzymes were checked, and he had a + MB fraction, but no EKG
changes, Trop 0.03 thought to be an NSTEMI due to demand--pt was
asymptomatic. He was continued on his betablocker, aspirin was
held due to ongoing bleeding. Transferred to OSH ICU, underwent
a c-scope: showed bleed in sigmoid colon and left colon with no
definite source that could be identified. Hct 30.2 on [**9-22**] at
OSH. Hct 37 on [**9-20**]. At least 1 episode of hypoT (BP 89/60) at
OSH, given fluids and 2u PRBCs-->hypoT quickly resolved to Bp
120/80. Notes mention possible need for [**Female First Name (un) 899**] angiography of the
[**Female First Name (un) 899**] to localize the source of the bleeding; therefore pt was
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further workup/management.
.
Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**], pt denies CP, SOB, dizziness, LH. He was
tachycardic to 120s, other vital signs were stable. No frank
rectal bleeding, but bright red blood in the rectal vault.

********************
80M with 2d of BRBPR likely due to diverticular bleed, s/p
c-scope unable to localize source of bleeding, transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for further workup and managment of the bleeding. The
bleeding had slowed dramatically by transfer. Colonoscopy at [**Hospital1 **]
revealed extensive diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon
without active bleeding. The patient's Hct stabilized at ~25
for 24 hours, and on [**9-25**] the patient left against medical
advice. He and his wife stated that they understood that the
medical team wanted to continue to monitor his Hct, to obtain a
PT consult as the patient had been bedbound for 5 days. The
patient and his wife also stated their understanding that the
patient was at risk to rebleed acutely, which could have
devastating results.
.
#GI: BRBPR- Unlikely upper GI source per colonoscopy, original
bleeding form the sigmoid, left colon per OSH. At admission the
pt had bright red blood in the rectal vault. He was admitted to
the MICU for close observation initially. He remained remained
hemodynamically stable; Hct remained ~25 x 24 hours; therefore
he was transferred to the floor on [**9-24**]. A repeat colonoscopy
on [**9-24**] revealed sigmoid diverticular disease but no active
bleeding. 1 unit PRBC's transfused [**9-25**] to maintain Hct >25.
Per GI, the patient should see surgery in outpatient follow up
for consideration of a partial colectomy given his extensive
sigmoid diverticular disease and high risk of re bleeding.
#CV:
Ischemia: CKMB elevation at outside hospital; diagnosed with
NSTEMI. This is likely due to demand ischemia in the setting of
acute blood loss/anemia. There was no troponin elevation, no
EKG changes, and the patient was asymptomatic throughout. The
patient was started on a statin and continued on a betablocker.
Aspirin was held given GI bleed. A repeat EKG at [**Hospital1 **] was
unchanged from OSH. We continued the Betablocker and statin.
The patient will follow up with his PCP for discussion of
initiation of ASA therapy. Pump: HTN, TTE ot OSH revealed: EF
of 70%, hyperdynamic, with no wall motion abnormalities.
Betablocker was continued; ACE-I was restarted on [**9-25**] (after
stabilization of blood pressure). Rhythm: The patient had
intermittant sinus tachycardia to the 120s, thought to be due to
hypovolemia and + increased catechols. This resolved overnight
[**9-24**] with IVF hydration. Risk factors: HTN, hyperlipidemia: On
Beta-blocker, ACE-I, Statin.
.
#Pulmonary: Pt has a history of COPD, on home O2. He was
chronically wheezy on exam and was found to have a ?Left lower
lobe infiltrate on CXR at OSH. He was maintained on
albuterol/atrovent nebs, his advair was continued. He
maintained O2 sats of 92-96% on 2LNC.
.
#Renal: The patient's creatinine was 1.4 on admission (baseline
unknown). This was likely due to hypovolemia from his GIB, and
resolved with IVF hydration (0.8 on [**9-25**]).
.
#heme: anemia: [**3-8**] GIB, but also has a h/o iron deficiency
anemia, on iron supplementation at home. The patient reportedly
required 4 units PRBC at the OSH and did require one unit PRBC
transfusion at [**Hospital1 **] to maintain Hct >25. Iron supplements were
continued.
.
#R Foot pain: The patient reported acute onset foot pain [**9-24**]
over R 5th MTP joint. He denied h/o trauma; has no preceding
h/o gout. He was found to be tender on exam w/ overlying edema,
no erythema. Foot XRAY revealed no acute process, but did reveal
a well circumscribed lucency in the first distal phalanx. We
recommend an outpatient MRI as follow up. The patient's foot
pain markedly improved spontaneously by [**9-25**].
#Prophylaxis: The patient was put on pneumoboots as PE
prophylaxis.

IMAGING:
=======
[**2132-8-6**] Cardiac Echo (TTE) - The left atrium is elongated.
The left atrial volume is increased. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and
regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). There is no
ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets are
moderately thickened. There is mild aortic valve stenosis (area
1.2-1.9cm2). No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is
[**Year (4 digits) 1192**] pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study (images
reviewed) of [**2130-5-15**], the findings are similar. The prior echo
assessed aortic valve area as 1.2cm2, however, this should have
been 1.8-1.9cm2.
.
[**2132-8-5**] RENAL U.S. - FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 13.5
cm and the left 12.0 cm. The renal parenchymal thickness and
echogenicity are normal without evidence of calculi or
hydronephrosis. The right kidney demonstrates a small cyst in
the upper pole measuring 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.3 cm. Within the
interpolar region of the left kidney, there is a 1.1 x 0.9 x 1.1
cm cyst. The bladder is not fully distended. IMPRESSION: 1. No
evidence of hydronephrosis, renal calculi, or solid masses; 2.
Bilateral small renal cysts.
.
[**2132-8-4**] CHEST (PA & LAT) - FINDINGS: There is elevation of the
left hemidiaphragm with left pleural thickening. There has been
interval decrease in pulmonary interstitial markings when
compared to prior exam. However, more confluent opacities in the
right perihilar region are noted, which may represent
atelectasis. A more nodular density measuring approximately 1 cm
is noted in the right lung base which was not seen on prior exam
and may represent the nipple. IMPRESSION: Interval decrease in
interstitial pulmonary markings. Interval development of right
basilar atelectasis. Right lung nodular opacity may represent
nipple. Repeat study is recommended with nipple markers.
.
EKG:
===
[**2132-8-4**] - Sinus rhythm with atrial premature complexes;
Consider left atrial abnormality; Modest nonspecific ST-T wave
changes; Since previous tracing of [**2132-8-3**], no significant
change. QT/QTc 380/430.

Brief Hospital Course:
# Chest tightness/SOB: Given his leukocytosis (14.3), and ? of
LLL infiltrate on CXR, the patient was initially treated as
asthma exacerbation precipitated by pneumonia. He was given
Prednisone, cefpodoxime and azithromycin. On HD2 the patient was
clinically improved, denied SOB and was weaned off O2. During
his stay the patient remained without wheezes on exam and it was
noted that LLL opacity was unchanged from prior x-ray several
years ago. He denied taking advair at home and denied history
of asthma. He was also ruled out for MI w/EKGs and cardiac
enzymes. He was discovered to have a history of esophageal
spasm and this was felt to be a more likely explanation for the
chest tightness. GI was consulted and recommended evaluation as
an outpatient. His antibiotics were D/C'd on hospital day 2.
THe patient received 4 days of steroids (Solumedrol 125 mg IV
x's 1 on [**8-4**] in ED; Prednisone 60 mg PO x's 1 on [**8-5**] in ICU;
Prednisone 40 mg PO QD x's 2 on floor. He NOT discharged on
Prednisone. He was also started on a baby aspirin. Outpatient
PFTs have been scheduled for the patient. Omeprazole 20 mg
Capsule, Delayed Release was started for GERD/Hiatal
hernia/Asthma.
.
# Urethral Stricture: Patient with h/o BPH s/p multpile
urological procedures, including s/p Suprapubic prostatectomy.
He was noted to have low urine output and bladder scan showed
360cc residual. It was impossible for staff to pass a foley.
Urology was consulted, performed a flexible cystoscopy in the
ICU and found severe urethral stricture. They were able to pass
small cathether through and left in place. The patient leaked
around the catheter, the catheter eventually came out but he
continued to have good urine output and post-void bladder scans
were performed q4h to ensure he did not have high residual
volume. Urology suggested that when patient is stable he will
have to be taken to the OR to have the stricture surgically
fixed.
.
# Chronic renal insufficiency: Creatinine 1.3-1.6 baseline and
up to 1.8 at presentation. Initially, nephrotoxic agents
(lisinopril and glipizide) were held. A Renal U/S, to evaluate
for hydronephrosis, was unremarkable. Creataninine at d/c was
1.3.
.
# Hypertension: The patient was continued on his home dose of
nifedipine and was changed from metoprolol succinate to tartrate
on admission and his BP was well controlled initially. At
discharge, his BP was seen to be creeping back up (162/80) and
his home dose of lisinopril was restarted, as his creatinine was
back to the reported baseline. Additionally the patient was
changed back to his home dose of Toprol XL 50 mg Tablet
Sustained Release PO QD.
.
# Diabetes mellitus - On admission the home Glipizide but this
was discontinued and blood sugars covered with SSI and a
diabetic diet was prescribed. The patient was discharged on his
home Glipizide.
.
# Sleep Disorder: The patient was on Quetiapine 25mg qHS on
admission for "problems sleeping". This was stopped & Trazodone
25 mg PO prn was started. The patient stated he was sleeping
well in the hospital, on discharge.

You were admitted to the hospital chest tightness, some
difficulty breathing and a fast heart rate. You were sent to the
ICU for observation. Testing showed that you did NOT have a
heart attack. Urology was consulted while you were in the ICU
and found that your urethra (the tube coming from your bladder
that carries urine out of your body through your penis) is very
narrowed. They recommend that you come back to the hospital as
an outpatient and have a procedure under anesthia to stretch it
and make it larger. Please arrange for this with Dr [**Last Name (STitle) 8499**].
We have also scheduled you to have some breathing tests to more
closely diagnosis the periodic breathing problems that you
experience.

History of Present Illness:
51 y/o F w/COPD (FEV1 31%, multiple intubations in past), Hep C,
hx IVDA, who presented to the ED tonight with SOB x several
days. On [**2184-3-13**], she called her [**Date Range 19039**] c/o sinus
congestion and rhinorrhea and was told she likely had a viral
URI. This improved with symptomatic treatment with Advil Cold &
Sinus. She called back on [**2184-3-22**] with a persistent cough and
increased sputum production (yellow). At that point she was
given a z-pack and a one-week course of prednisone (40 mg
daily). She finished the prednisone yesterday. Since then, she
has had continued productive cough and worsening SOB. Of note,
her nebulizer prescription was changed from four times per day
to once daily, so she has not been using her nebs as often.
*
In the ED, she was initially saturating 86% on RA. After an
albuterol nebulizer, she improved to 94%. She was also given
prednisone 60 mg and azithromycin. She was admitted to medicine
for further management.
Past Medical History:
1. COPD, followed in Pulmonary by [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]. Most recent

Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 51 y/o F w/hx COPD who presents with increased sputum
production and SOB, c/w her usual COPD exacerbations.
*
## COPD exacerbation: This was likely triggered by a viral URI
and in the setting of under-using her nebulizer. She was started
on prednisone 60 mg daily with plans to use a longer taper as
she got worse so quickly after stopping the last time.
Azithromycin was continued for a five-day course. Neb treatments
were given prn. She remained stable on room air and intermittent
1L O2 with goal O2 sats 88-92%. She was able to maintain these
levels most of the time, with some desaturation to 85% on
ambulation. On [**4-5**] patient became somnolent and combative
repeat ABG showed increased CO2 retention. Patient was
subsequently transferred to MICU for closer observation.
Patient was started on CPAP @ night with great improvement in
her mental status. Patient did not require other antibiotics as
her WBC remained normal while on steroids and she was never
febrile with clear CXR. Patient slowly improved and was
maintaining sats >91-92% with ambulation upon discharge.
Patient is to continue using her BIPAP @ [**9-10**] @ home. She is to
continue her prednisone taper and will follow up with her
[**Month/Day (4) 19039**]
*
## Confusion - patient became suddenly somnolent on [**4-5**]. The
sudden onset of her symptoms was concerning for overmedication
however patient had not received anything for 8 hours prior
except Tylenol. UTox and serum tox were negative. ABG showed
increasing CO2 retention. Patient was very angry when asked
about potential drug abuse and she was upset that this
assumption recurs as patient often mistaken her hypercarbia for
intoxication. Her mental status quickly improved with
initiation of BIPAP @ night with improvement in her CO2 levels.
.
## MR - patient was found to have 2+ MR. The etiology of her MR
remains unclear as she had no evidence of overwhelming LVH and
no evidence of ischemia. Patient was counseled to take
antibiotic prophylaxis when undergoing dental work or other
invasive procedures.
.
## urinary frequency: She reports increasing urinary frequency
and also symptoms that may be consistent with an element of
urinary retention. She was on a medication prescribed by her PCP
~8 months ago that may have been Detrol. Her UA was
unremarkable, and her UCx grew <10,000 organisms.
*
## Hep C: Genotype 2, stage I fibrosis on biopsy. No
interferon per hepatology [**3-11**] pulmonary disease.
*
## IVDA: She was continued on her methadone maintenance. She
reports she has had her dose increased from 60 mg to 70 mg
recently; however, no records in the OMR confirm this so she was
continued on 60mg.
*
## Seizure d/o: Keppra was continued.
.
Patient will follow up with her [**Month/Day (2) 19039**].

Complete large bowel obstruction, possible cecal volvulus,
possibly associated with ileal conduit
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr [**Known lastname 65533**] is a [**Age over 90 **] year old man s/p right nephrectomy, s/p left
ureterostomy ileal conduit who presented with complete large
bowel obstruction/cecal volvulus and who underwent ex lap, R
colectomy, revision ileal conduit w/ Urology on [**2122-2-13**]. In the
OR, the patient was found to have necrotic gut and underwent R
colectomy and ileal conduit revision. Please see operative
report for full details of the procedure. In the OR, the patient
also underwent TEE that revealed an EF of 45%.
.
Post-operatively, the patient was transferred to the Trauma
SICU. The patient was initially thought to be coagulopathic, but
this was eventually found to be secondary to 'propofol syndrome'
and with suspension of the propofol on post-operative day #1,
his lab values improved. Otherwise, he remained on pressors
until POD #4, was extubated on POD #7, completed a 7 day course
of IV abx (Levo/flagyl) and transferred to the floor on POD #9.
On that same day, the patient was found obtunded with worsening
O2 sats to the 80s. This did not improve with lasix or nebs. ABG
revealed paO2 of 39. Pt was also found to be hypoglycemic (23)
due to poor oral intake and NPH administration. The patient was
intubated and readmitted to the Trauma SICU. He was started on
Levofloxacin prophylacticailly. On post-operative day #11, the
patient was successfully extubated. On that day, a feeding tube
was placed under fluoroscopy which was later pulled out by the
patient. The patient was evaluated by speech and swallow who
recommended that the patient reattempt oral feeds with pureed
foods under supervision. Given this, the patient was transferred
to the floor.
.
On the floor, the patient recovered well. He was evaluated by
Nutrition who recommended supplementation to improve his
nutritional status. He was seen by Cardiology after one episode
of asymptomatic Vtach (18 beats) who recommended tight blood
pressure control and resumption of anti-coagulation for Afib. He
was started on warfarin on [**2122-2-27**] with Lovenox until INR is
therapeutic at 2.0-2.5. At this point, Lovenox should be
discontinued. The patient was discharged to extended care
facility for rehab on [**2122-3-3**].

aspirate
History of Present Illness:
She is s/p a left-sided L4-L5 and L5-S1 microlumbar discectomy
on [**12-26**]. She initially did well with her left lower
extremity radiculopathy. Unfortunately,she has gone on to
develop progressive symptoms. For that reason, she underwent
followup MRI. She describes pain that radiates down the left
leg and into the little toe. She has some right lower extremity
weakness from prior surgery. Her bowel and bladder function is
normal.
Past Medical History:
* DM1 - complicated by neuropathy, retinopathy autonomic
dysfunction, gastropathy
* HTN
* Asthma
* S/P Renal/Pancreas Transplant ([**2139**])
* Numular Eczema
* H/O Rectal Bleeding ([**2152**])

* Left First Toe Osteomyelitis
* Retinopathy of Right Eye
Social History:
Patient denies tobacco or illicit drug use. She infrequently
consumes alcohol.
She was living with her daughter but recently moved out. She
currently lives alone. She has a very close relationship with
her daughter.
Family History:
nc
Physical Exam:
On examination, her strength was [**5-28**] in hip flexion,
extension,quadriceps, hamstrings, and plantarflexion
bilaterally. Dorsiflexion was graded at 4/5 on the left and was
normal on the right. Extensor hallucis longus could not be
assessed on the left due to previous toe surgery and was normal
on the right.
Her sensory examination revealed a decreased appreciation of
light touch in both the medial and lateral aspect of her left
foot.
ON DISCHARGE:
Bialteral IP's [**4-28**], quad, ham, gastroc, AT, and Right [**Last Name (un) 938**] 5-/5,
left [**Last Name (un) 938**] [**4-28**](secondary to toe surgery), incision clean dry
intact with steri strips, sensation decreased to light touch on
right lateral thigh and left lateral foot, ambulates with
walker.
Pertinent Results:
An MRI of the lumbosacral spine obtained on [**2160-3-3**],demonstrates prior surgery both L4-L5 and L5-S1. There is
a grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L4-L5. There is lateral recess
stenosis bilaterally at L4-L5. There is a recurrent residual
disc herniation at L5-S1 on the right side. Flexion and
extension x-rays were obtained which demonstrate a grade 1
spondylolisthesis at L4-L5 and no abnormal movement when flexion
and extension views were compared.

Brief Hospital Course:
1. Lumbar fusion: Pt was admitted on [**2160-5-15**] and underwent above
procedure. Postoperativley she was continued on her home meds.
She remained overnight in PACU and required multiple fluid
boluses for low urine output. She was seen in consult by renal
and [**Last Name (un) **] who followed her throughout her hospital course. She
had JP that was removed late in the POD#1. She was out of bed
with PT. She was managed on PO pain medications. On [**5-17**] her
foley was removed and a UA was negative. She had a chest X-ray
which showed small bilateral pleural effusions. On [**5-18**] her
hematocrit was 26 and was being followed for potential need for
transfusion. On [**5-19**] her hematocrit was 25.4 and did not require
trasnfusion. She was screened for rehab, however due to
postoperative complications of labile blood pressure, difficult
to control blood glucose, anemia and low grade fevers, discharge
was delayed (see below for discussion of postoperative
complications).
2. Fevers: Post-operative fevers as high as 101.2 without focal
symptoms of infection. Blood and urine cultures were drawn and
patient had CXR on [**5-19**]. Started empirically on ciprofloxacin
for presumed cystitis with positive U/A. When urine culture
returned negative on [**2160-6-2**], ciprofloxacin was discontinued.
Patient defervesced with no evidence of infectious etiology.
3. labile BP: patient has history of autonomic instability from
underlying diabetes mellitus compounded by hypovolemia in
setting of low grade fevers and anemia. Low salt diet was
discontinued and midodrine was titrated up to 5mg TID in an
effort to decrease orthostatic hypotension. Medications with
anticholinergic side effects were also discontinued/ decreased
to alleviate orthostatic symptoms. Although B-blocker was
likely contributing to orthostatic hypotension by blocking
compensatory response in heart rate, carvedilol was continued
given marked supine hypertension. Patient continued to have
labile blood pressure, but her symptoms had improved
significantly and she was able to perform ADLs without
significant difficulty.
4. acute on chronic anemia: Hct on admission 30.8, drifted down
to 25 following spinal surgery. Likely etiology from multiple
chronic medical problems i.e. renal insufficiency and blood loss
from surgery. Iron studies are indicative of some mild iron
-deficiency with serum iron of 21 and a borderline low
transferrin saturation (14%). Ferritin is elevated in setting of
illness. No signs of hemolysis. Patient continued on iron
supplementation with Hct remaining stable through remainder of
hospital stay. Hct on discharge was 27.6
5. s/p renal tranplant: during course of hospitalization,
creatinine trended up to 1.6 from recent baseline of 1.1- 1.3.
Etiology of renal damage unclear, may be indicative of brief
period post op hypotension. Continued cyclosporine/ prednisone/
azathiodine at current dose. Continued bactrim SS for PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) **]
6. type 1 DM: hx of brittle diabetes with multiple medical cxs.
Continued on home dose of lantus and humalog per sliding scale.
[**Last Name (un) **] followed patient while in house, uring patient to
consider insulin pump for tighter glycemic control

This is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old female with past medical history of
hypertension who presented to an outside hospital after
several days of shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion
with minimal activity. She also has noted some left arm
pain, but denied chest pain, nausea, vomiting. On the
morning of admission, she was noted to be more restless and
short of breath while lying in bed. She was taken to the
outside hospital, where she was noticed to have congestive
heart failure with electrocardiogram notable for an anterior
ST elevation myocardial infarction.
She was Med flighted to [**Hospital1 69**]
for cardiac catheterization. This is where she was found to
have a proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis of
99% for which she had percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty stent.

day.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical exam, patient was resting
comfortably. Vital signs: Pulse 77, blood pressure 117/48.
Head and neck unremarkable. No jugular venous distention.
Lungs: Crackles at bases bilaterally. Cardiovascular:
Regular, rate, and rhythm, normal S1, S2. Abdomen is soft
and nontender. Extremities: Trace edema.
Electrocardiogram on admission was normal sinus rhythm,
T-wave inversions in I, aVL, and V6. Repeat showed continued
T-wave inversions in aVL, [**Street Address(2) 2051**] elevations in V2, [**Street Address(2) 1755**]
elevation V3 and V4, and [**Street Address(2) 2051**] elevation V5.
LABORATORIES: Hematocrit 39.0, platelets 304. Sodium 142,
potassium 4.1, chloride 105, bicarb 20, BUN 28, creatinine
0.9, glucose 167. Initial CK were 206, CK MB originally 52
and troponin 1.26.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was sent immediately to
catheterization where a proximal left anterior descending
that was stenosed 99% was stented with a 2.5 by 13 mm stent.
The patient recovered well from procedure and throughout the
course increased to a maximum CK 548, but trended down to
291. CK MB maximum of 52 trending down to 9, and troponin
reached greater than 50.
The patient was started on aspirin, Lipitor, beta blocker,
ACE was held secondary to decreased urine output during the
CCU stay. Repeat electrocardiogram on [**10-9**] showed
some normal sinus rhythm at 70 beats per minute, Q waves in
V1-V3, T-wave inversions V4 through V6, T-wave
flattening/slight inversion in II, III, and aVF.
Patient had a postcatheterization echocardiogram which showed
an ejection fraction of 35% as well as severe valvular
disease including 3+ MR, 3+ TR, 1+ AI. Patient's urine
output improved once transferred to the floor. ACE was
restarted. Beta blocker increased as well as the statin.
Patient's blood pressure is stable in the 120s/60s, pulse
70s.
Course was complicated by a brief period of hypoxia. When
chest x-ray was taken revealing congestive heart failure with
interstitial edema, she was diuresed and her oxygen
requirement returned to baseline which was none ultimately to
a saturation of being 97% on room air. Creatinine was
entirely normal throughout the hospital stay, and hematocrit
remained stable about 35 before and after procedure.
Discharged patient to home with physical therapy and visiting
nurse. She stays with her daughter and son-in-law who helps
to take care of her.
The patient was not put on Coumadin. Anticoagulation was not
an option secondary to risks outweighed the benefits, such as
risk of fall.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 473**]
Chief Complaint:
Adenocarcinoma of the head of pancreas
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Whipple procedure with SMV reconstruction
History of Present Illness:
Born in [**2091**], Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a strong and healthy gentleman who
suffered a recent episode of acute pancreatitis in [**Month (only) **] of this
summer of [**2166**]. He was identified as having a pancreatic head
mass on CT imaging amidst the pancreatitis. This has been
followed up further with subsequent MRI and MRCP imaging in
[**Month (only) 205**].
He lost some weight, suffered through some anorexia that is
slowly improving, and was ultimately discharged from the
hospital
and has continued to improve. He is moving his bowels, making
good urine, and has no diarrhea. He has never developed
obstructive jaundice. The only recent symptom otherwise was
just
a general feeling of dizziness about three to four months ago.
He has no real prior surgical history. There was a question of
coronary artery disease, but he did well according to his result
with the stress test three to four years ago. I asked him to
determine from you if he has had any sort of carotid imaging in
light of the dizziness feeling and question of a vision loss
that
occurred three to four months ago. He had prostate cancer for
which he received external beam radiation therapy and he has
known Barrett's esophagus.
He also underwent an endoscopic ultrasound by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. This
clearly sees the pancreatic head lesion, which does not involve
any of the vasculature. Quite surprisingly, in my judgment, the
cytology report is negative for malignancy.
He has no other symptoms of chest pains or palpitations; no
pneumonia, shortness of breath, and he has not got diabetes.
Other than the recent weight loss around this acute illness, he
has been well. There is no family history of pancreatic cancer.
He is not anticoagulated, but does take aspirin 325 mg a day.

Physical Exam:
Pre-Op Exam
On physical exam, he is well appearing, not jaundiced, and quite
intelligent. He understands the uncertainties of his case. His
neck is supple with midline trachea and no jugular venous
distention. His chest is clear. His cardiac rate and rhythm is
normal. His abdomen is entirely benign today with no masses or
tenderness. His extremities show no peripheral edema and full
range of motion with a normal gait and grossly normal neurologic
and vascular exams.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the Hepatopancreaticobiliary Surgery
on [**2166-10-9**] for treatment of a presumed pancreatic adenocarcinoma
with suspected invasion of superior mesenteric vein. On [**2166-10-9**],
the patient underwent pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy
with en bloc resection of superior mesenteric vein, superior
mesenteric vein primary venorrhaphy (end-to-end), and CyberKnife
fiducial placements, which went well without complication
(reader referred to the Operative Note for details). Of note, a
Left subclavian line was placed with a post-placement CXR that
showed a Large left sided Pneumothorax. A pigtail catheter chest
tube was placed and eventually, the lung fully expanded. The
chest tube was then removed with post-removal CXR showing
continued expansion of the lung.
After a brief, uneventful stay in the PACU, the patient was
transfered to the ICU for increased monitoring given his
vascular repair. After being stabilized in the unit for a couple
days, the patient arrived on the floor NPO on IV fluids, with a
foley catheter and a JP drain in place, and an epidural for pain
control. The patient was hemodynamically stable.
The [**Hospital 228**] hospital course was uneventful except for the need
for a chest tube placement (see above) and followed the Whipple
Clinical Pathway without deviation. Post-operative pain was
initially well controlled with an epidural, which was converted
to oral pain medication when tolerating clear liquids. The NG
tube was discontinued on POD#3, and the foley catheter
discontinued at midnight of POD#4. The patient subsequently
voided without problem. The patient was started on sips of
clears on POD#4, which was progressively advanced as tolerated
to a regular diet by POD#7. JP amylase was sent in the evening
of POD#6; the JP was discontinued on POD#7 as the output and
amylase level were low.
During this hospitalization, the patient ambulated early and
frequently, was adherent with respiratory toilet and incentive
spirrometry, and actively participated in the plan of care. The
patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were
used during this stay. The patient's blood sugar was monitored
regularly throughout the stay; sliding scale insulin was
administered when indicated.
At the time of discharge on [**2166-10-17**], the patient was doing well,
afebrile with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a
regular diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain
was well controlled. Staples were removed, and steri-strips
placed. The patient was discharged home without services. The
patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions
with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge
plan.

hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes mellitus, and atrial
fibrillation who was transferred from outside hospital for
management of hypotension. Patient presented to [**Hospital3 18201**] on the afternoon of his admission on [**4-16**] with
sytolic blood pressures in the 70's. He was intubated, given
IVF, started on levophed and dopamine, given broad spectrum
antibiotics, decadron and nebulizers. He was then sent to [**Hospital1 18**]
ED for further evaluation.
.
Per the patient's wife he was recently admitted to [**Name (NI) 29710**]
[**Date range (1) 29711**] for a COPD exacerbation requiring ICU admission but he
had not needed intubation. He was discharged on a lengthy
prednisone taper. Following discharge he remained short of
breath, wheezy, and continued to have a productive cough at
home. He also developed neck pain and shoulder pain over day
prior to this presentation. On [**4-16**] he became febrile to 101.1F.
He saw his pulmonologist in clinic [**4-16**] and was prescribed
another course of antibiotics. Then, on the way home from this
appointment he was complaining of feeling worse weakness. When
patient and wife arrived at home he was too weak to even stand
up and fell to the ground exiting the car. His wife activated
911.
.
When patient arrived to [**Hospital1 18**] ED, his pressors had been tapered
to solely levophed and systolics were in the 80's. He was
started back on neosynephrine, bolused a total of 5 liters, and
started on heparin gtt given concern for pulmonary embolism. He
was also given a dose of Cefepime and Tamiflu along with
solumedrol 125mg IV x 1. He had atrial fibrillation with RVR to
the 170's and BP again dropped to 70's. At this point levophed
was weaned down. Notably ECG showed ST depressions in V1-V4
which appeared similar to prior tracings. He was seen by the
cardiology fellow who suggested amiodarone if atrial tachycardia
recurs. Patient transferred to MICU for further management.
.

==============================================
IMAGING:
TTE [**2183-4-17**]:
The left atrium is elongated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 10-20mmHg. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are
normal. The left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. There
is severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
thinned inferolateral and inferior wall akinesis/dyskinesis and
anterolateral hypokinesis. Overall left ventricular systolic
function is severely depressed (LVEF= 25 %). The right
ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. Right ventricular
chamber size is normal. with mild global free wall hypokinesis.
The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No
masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve, but cannot
be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. Mild to
moderate ([**1-25**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. No masses or vegetations are seen
on the mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to
suboptimal image quality. An eccentric, posteriorly directed jet
of Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild to moderate
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. The pulmonic valve
leaflets are thickened. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space which most
likely represents a promient fat pad.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2181-10-17**],
the severity of mitral and aortic regurgitation has increased.
Regional left ventricular systolic function may be slightly
worse. No vegetations identified. If clinically indicated, a
transesophageal echocardiographic examination is recommended to
evaluate for endocarditis.
------
TEE [**2183-4-18**]:
No valvular or lead vegetations seen. Mild to moderate aortic
regurgitation. Moderate mitral regurgitation. Complex (>4 mm,
non-mobile) atheroma in the descending aorta and aortic arch.
Depressed biventricular systolic function.
.
[**2183-4-16**] CXR: Markedly abnormal radiograph with no comparison
available.
Endotracheal tube is slightly high. Consider advancement by 2.5
cm for
optimal placement. There is a right upper chest thoracoplasty
which results
in significant distortion of the normal anatomy. Patchy foci of
opacity,
particularly in the lateral left lung may represent foci of
pneumonia or
aspiration.
.
[**2183-4-18**] CXR: Bibasilar atelectasis and bronchiectasis persist,
left greater
than right. Small layering left pleural effusion is unchanged.
There is no
pulmonary edema. Right upper thoracoplasty changes are noted.
Monitoring and support devices are stable in course and
position. There is no pneumothorax. Multiple calcified
gallstones are seen in the right upper quadrant.
.
[**2183-4-23**] CXR : Changes of right upper lobectomy and thoracoplasty
are present. There is persistent bibasilar atelectasis, left
greater than right. A small left pleural effusion is unchanged.
Mild cardiomegaly is stable. Mediastinal clips and median
sternotomy wires are well aligned. A right PICC terminates at
the cavoatrial junction. A left chest wall pacemaker has leads
in the right atrium and ventricle. A Dobbhoff tube courses into
the abdomen and beyond the film. There is no pneumothorax.
Calcified gallstones are again noted in the right upper
quadrant.
.
[**2183-4-29**] CXR: Changes of right upper lobectomy and thoracoplasty
are again seen. There is persistent bibasilar atelectasis, left
greater than right. No focal consolidation is appreciated.
Probable small bilateral layering effusions are present. The
cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are normal. Monitoring
support devices are unchanged in course and position. A right
PICC is indistinctly seen at the level of the clavicle. There is
no pneumothorax. Calcified gallstones are noted in the right
upper quadrant.
.
[**2183-5-6**] CXR: In comparison with the study of [**5-5**], there is
little change.
Monitoring and support devices remain in place. Continued
increased sharpness of the left hemidiaphragm, consistent with
improved aeration at the left base.Nevertheless, there are
continued low lung volumes and bibasilar atelectatic changes.
.
[**2183-5-9**] CXR: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no
relevant
change. The minimal further improvement of ventilation in the
region of the
pre-existing retrocardiac and left basal opacity. Otherwise,
unchanged
appearance of the lung parenchyma, the cardiac silhouette and
the chest wall.
.
[**2183-5-12**] CXR: Pulmonary edema previously, it is gone now.
Multiple foci of
atelectasis in the left lung are stable. Heart is borderline
enlarged.
New feeding tube with the wire stylet in place ends in the
stomach.
Gallstones noted in the right upper quadrant. Transvenous right
atrial pacer and right ventricular pacer leads follow their
expected courses. No
pneumothorax. Small left pleural effusion or pleural thickening
is
longstanding.
.
[**2183-5-6**] LUNG PATHOLOGY FROM FNA / BIOPSY WITH BRONCHOSCOPY LUL :
Lung (left upper lobe), fine needle aspirate:
POSITIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS, consistent with squamous cell
carcinoma.
.
[**4-17**] ADMISSION CT IMAGING: CHEST/ABD/PELVIS REPORT
CT OF THE CHEST WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is a small left-sided
pleural
effusion. The patient is status post right upper and right
middle
lobectomies. There is a small right-sided pleural effusion and
small areas of loculated fluid near the apex. There is bibasilar
atelectasis. Right chest wall deformity is present from prior
thoracotomy.
There are prominent coronary artery calcifications. A small
linear area of
fat density is noted along the left ventricle, consistent with
fatty
deposition. The patient has a pacemaker with leads in right
atrium and ventricle. There is a left subclavian stent. The
endotracheal tube ends approximately 4.0 cm above the carina.
Patient is status post sternotomy and CABG.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITHOUT CONTRAST: The non-contrast appearance
of the
spleen, adrenal glands, stomach, and intra-abdominal loops of
bowel are within normal limits. The liver demonstrates a small
area of pneumobilia in the left lobe of the liver. There are
multiple, calcified gallstones within the gallbladder. The
common bile duct and pancreas are within normal limits. The
kidneys are slightly small bilaterally. There are prominent
renal vascular calcifications. There is no retroperitoneal or
mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no free air or free fluid.
There is a small fat-containing umbilical hernia. An NG tube
ends within the stomach.
.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITHOUT CONTRAST: The rectum, prostate, and
intrapelvic
loops of bowel are within normal limits. A Foley catheter is
noted within a
decompressed bladder. There is no free air or free fluid. There
is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. The patient is status
post placement of right femoral venous line, which ends in the
right iliac vein just prior to the bifurcation. Areas of
stranding and small foci of air within the right groin are
likely due to recent line placement. There is dense
calcification of the abdominal and pelvic arterial vasculature.

Brief Hospital Course:
HYPOTENSION: Patient was transferred from OSH after presentation
for weakness and pre-syncopal episode in his driveway witnessed
by his wife. [**Name (NI) **] had notable systolic blood pressured in the 70s
in ED at OSH prior to transfer and he needed to be placed on
both levophed and neosynephrine initially. Hypotension likely
due to his later established MRSA bacteremia and sepsis. CT done
and no overt pulmonary emboli revealed to explain his marked
hypotension. He was also ruled out for acute coronary syndrome
given his prominent cardiac history and multiple risk factors.
He also had rapid atrial fibrillation on day of admission which
also contributed to poor cardiac output in setting of his
already poor cardiac function with baseline EF of 35%. During
his ICU course he was weaned down to Levophed alone and then
slowly taken off pressor support completely with gentle fluid
boluses for occasional low blood pressures which were
predominantly limited to the setting of him requiring amiodarone
boluses or IV metoprolol pushes when his atrial fibrillation
episodes occurred throughout his ICU stay. Otherwise, blood
pressures improved overall after patient had been adequately
treated with IV Vancomycin for his MRSA bacteremia and MRSA
pneumonia.
MRSA BACTEREMIA: Blood cultures from admission grew out MRSA.
Initially felt that his right hand cellulitis from recent IV
placement may have been possible source. However, a sputum
culture grew out MRSA within days of admission and his CXR had
an area of patchy opacity in the lateral left lung on admission
with was felt to represent foci of pneumonia vs. aspiration.
During his hospital course he had immediate follow-up TTE and
TEEs which were both negative for vegetations.
He was given a prolonged course of IV Vancomycin starting on
[**4-17**] or MRSA bacteremia and MRSA pneumonia. He was followed by
the ID consult service.
.
RESPIRATORY FAILURE: Patient intubated at OSH before transfer.
He was extubated to BIPAP and required intermittent BIPAP for
about 24 hrs following extubation. He continued to struggle with
hypoxemia and shortness of breath and required re-intubation
after additional hypercarbia developed on [**2183-4-30**]. Treated with
additional Zosyn antibiotics for concern for additional
aspiration PNA which may have triggered need for his second
intubation. He was given multiple IV Lasix PRN doses and even a
Lasix drip at times to help accomplish diuresis for his ongoing
pulmonary edema which was also another factor felt to be
contributing to his poor respiratory status. On [**2183-5-1**] had a
bronchoscopy that showed area of small collapse in LUL with
question of recurrent lung cancer so interventional pulmonology
team consulted and after holding Plavix dose for about a week he
had lung biopsy and repeat bronchoscopy which was consistent
with malignant mass and pathology revealed squamous cell lung
cancer. A formal oncology consult was deferred in setting of his
very tenuous status in ICU as team was waiting for patient to
stabilize for formal consult and possible attempts for
palliative radiation/medications but patient continued to
clinically decline in ICU. There were brief discussions for
PEG/tracheostomy placement but patient was able to be extubated
successfully [**2183-5-7**]. He slowly declined again to the point of
needing high flow face mask to maintain adequate oxygenation.
Patient and family changed code status to DNR/DNI on [**2183-5-9**] and
palliative care consult was called. Overall, patient's
persistent decline and respiratory failure felt to be
combination of his underlying poor reserve with COPD /prior
lobectomy, recent PNAs, recurrent lung cancer and pulmonary
edema which lingered as well. He was made CMO on [**2183-5-13**] and
passed away later that night.
.
COPD EXACERBATION: Initially treated more aggressively with
steroids and standing nebulizers. COPD flare up was attributed
to persistent pneumonia. As above, respiratory failure required
two intubations and multiple use of BIPAP and facemask at high
flow to maintain oxygen saturations >88%. He continued to
decline after second extubation and family and patient opted to
be DNR/DNI, then changed to CMO.
.
ICU DELIRIUM: Multifactorial and felt to be related to
infection, steroids, and being in ICU. Patient was also noted
to have recurrent lung cancer and brain metastasis is also
possible although patient was never stable enough to pursue any
additional MRI or further workup for oncologic
staging/management. Notably, wife reported sun downing at home
and issues with confusion for several months prior to admission.
He was treated initially with olanzapine and then switched to
standing Haldol with good effect initially but he seemed to get
more agitated so QHS Zydis was combined with standing and PRN
haldol dosing. EKGs were monitored for QT changes. Psychiatry
was consulted and agreed with Haldol therapy. Unfortunately, his
delerium worsened over the last few days of his ICU course and
he required soft restraints and additional doses of Haldol with
frequent re-orientation by staff.
.
RAPID ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: Patient had known atrial fibrillation
in the past. During his ICU course he had atrial flutter and
fibrillation multiple times. Likely triggers were sepsis,
pressor use, and hypoxia. Cardiology was consulted for
additional guidance during his ICU stay. Patient's home regimen
of quinidine stopped and he was loaded with IV amiodarone given
his hemodynamic instability with rapid rhythm. Patient followed
by electrophysiology service. He was re-bolused with Amiodarone
for ongoing SVT and later in hospital course metoprolol IV was
added on a standing basis for additional control and worked
well.
.
SWALLOWING: Failed speech and swallow. Dobhoff placed for
nutritional feedings. Started on TF regimen. PEG considered
briefly but after goals of care discussion with family after
recurrent lung cancer diagnosis and worse respiratory failure
and progressive altered mental status the family wished to only
keep patient comfortable and did not want any more surgeries. He
was given Dobhoff feedings up until day he expired.
.
[**Female First Name (un) **] ESOPHAGITIS: Thrush on admission with throat pain.
Treated with 7 day course of IV fluconazole for presumed [**Female First Name (un) **]
esophagitis. Resolved with therapy.

Relevant imaging studies:
[**2106-9-4**] CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST: IMPRESSION: Interval decrease in
the extent of small left parietal subdural hematoma with a
dominant portion of the hematoma measuring unchanged,
approximately 4 mm.
[**2106-9-6**]: CAROTID SERIES, COMPLETE: IMPRESSION: No evidence of
internal carotid artery stenosis on either side.
Brief Hospital Course:
84 yo f w/ PMHx afib on Coumadin, HTN, CHF, who presented to ED
following fall in with questionable LOC and confirmed subdural
hematoma.
1) Fall: Syncope vs. mechanical fall. She recalled the events
leading to the fall, but could not recall the actual fall except
for the part where she hit her head, suggesting a probable
syncopal event. This was unwitnessed, however, and corroboration
could not be obtained. She was initially evaluated at an outside
hospital, where a CT scan of the head showed a small left
parietal subdural
hematoma. She was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further care. At
[**Hospital1 18**], a repeat CT scan of the head without contrast confirmed a
4 mm left parietal subdural hematoma, without midline shift. Her
warfarin-induced coagulopathy was reversed with vitamin K and
FFP in the ED, and she was admitted to the trauma-ICU for close
observation. A follow-up CT scan the following morning
demonstrated interval decrease in the extent of the small left
parietal SDH. She was transferred to the floor for furhter
work-up of her apparent syncopal event.
Per neurosurgery, she is to hold her anticoagulation for 1
month.
2) Syncope: Serial cardiac biomarkers showed a slightly elevated
CK-MBI,
with normal CK and flat troponins X 3. She was observed on
telemetry, without arrhythmic events. The EP service
additionally interrogated her pacer, without evidence of a
recent event. Carotid series were finally obtained, and
demonstrated no evidence of ICA disease. A basic infectious
work-up was negative. The possibility of vasovagal syncope or
orthostasis remains, but could not be confirmed. Orthostatic
vitals obtained at the time of transfer to the floor were
within normal limits. A repeat TTE was not obtained given our
low overall suspicion of a cardiac ischemic event or severe
stenotic valvular disease, but could certainly be considered in
the out-patient setting.
She was evaluated by physical therapy on the day of discharge,
and deemed safe for discharge home with services, including
physical therapy.

further management.
Significant cardiac history includes a transthoracic
echocardiogram in [**8-16**], which demonstrated moderately
dilated left ventricle with ejection fraction of 50%,
anterior, anteroseptal, and inferior akinesis and
hypokinesis, and depressed right ventricular function with 2+
mitral regurgitation. Cardiac catheterization [**2159-9-16**], resulted in stenting of the saphenous vein graft to OM1
and OM2. Prior coronary artery bypass graft redo in [**2159-7-16**], included left internal mammary artery to left anterior
descending, radial artery to posterior descending artery,
saphenous vein graft to D1, saphenous vein graft to D2,
saphenous vein graft to OM1 and saphenous vein graft to OM2.
Exercise stress test on [**2160-4-28**], resulted in a rate pressure
product of 11,900, modified [**Doctor First Name **] protocol. The patient
exercised for nine minutes and stopped due to fatigue with no
anginal equivalents and an uninterpretable electrocardiogram.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease, status post myocardial
infarction.
2. Coronary artery bypass graft times three.
3. Congestive heart failure with ejection fraction 50%.
4. History of ventricular fibrillation arrest.
5. Hypertension.
6. Elevated cholesterol.
7. Hepatitis B positive.
8. Back pain.
ALLERGIES:
1. Penicillin causes a rash.
2. Morphine causes hypotension.
3. Sulfa.
4. Iodine.
5. Codeine.
6. Benadryl.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. once daily.
2. Carvedilol 3.125 mg p.o. twice a day.
3. Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. once daily.
4. Digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. once daily.

SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient has a distant tobacco history,
discontinued almost forty years ago. He lives at home by
himself.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination, the patient
has a temperature of 100.9, heart rate 100, blood pressure
67/40, respiratory rate 22, oxygen saturation 95% on two
liters by nasal cannula. In general, the patient was a
pleasant elderly male in no apparent distress. Head and neck
examination revealed moist mucous membranes, anicteric
sclera, normal jugular venous distention. Lungs had crackles
at the bases bilaterally with decreased breath sounds at the
right lower lobe. Cardiovascular examination revealed
tachycardia with normal S1 and S2 and a II/VI systolic murmur
best heard at the apex. Abdomen was benign with no
tenderness. Extremities had no edema.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood cell count was 8.6, hematocrit
30.4, and platelet count 195,000. There was a left shift
with 86% neutrophils and 9% lymphocytes. Coagulation studies
demonstrated a prothrombin time of 14.5, INR 1.4. Panel
seven was significant for a blood urea nitrogen of 32 and
creatinine of 1.0. Two sets of cardiac enzymes revealed
sequential CKs of 54 and 62 with MB of 1.0 and 0.9,
respectively. Urinalysis showed no nitrites and no leukocyte
esterase.
Chest x-ray demonstrated prominent pulmonary vasculature with
small left pleural effusion and retrocardiac haziness read as
atelectasis versus consolidation.
Electrocardiogram demonstrated sinus tachycardia of 120 beats
per minute, with normal axis, left bundle branch block,
unchanged from prior electrocardiogram in [**2159-11-16**].
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Hypotension - The patient was thought to be septic and
thus received fluid resuscitation in the Emergency
Department. A right internal jugular central venous catheter
was placed and initial CVPs were measured at 3.0 to 4.0 of
water. The patient's diuretics and antihypertensive
medications were held, and he was started on Neo-Synephrine
to maintain his blood pressure. The suspected source of
infection was a pneumonia, although an abdominal process
could not be ruled out given recent hospitalization at the
[**Hospital3 2358**] six months prior with abdominal pain.
Therefore, the patient was started on Levofloxacin and
Flagyl. On the second day of hospitalization, the patient's
white blood cell count peaked at 20.2 with a continued left
shift. he had a temperature spike of 101.6, and subsequent
blood cultures, urine cultures, and sputum cultures were all
negative. His white blood cell count subsequently normalized
within two days and he remained afebrile thereafter through
the rest of his hospitalization. In addition, the
Neo-Synephrine was quickly weaned off within 48 hours of
admission and he required no further pressor support. The
patient will complete a ten day course of Levofloxacin and
Flagyl for sepsis with suspected pneumonia as the source.
2. Congestive heart failure - Following his fluid
resuscitation, the patient appeared to be in mild congestive
failure with tachypnea and hypoxia. He was diuresed with
Lasix and then switched over to his outpatient regimen. He
continued to diurese for several days, after which he felt at
his baseline respiratory status. Electrophysiology was
consulted, and they recommend biventricular pacing as
possible aid to his congestive heart failure. This will be
addressed on a return visit as an outpatient.
3. Coronary artery disease - The patient ruled out for
myocardial infarction, and had no further episodes of chest
pain. He was continued on his Aspirin and had no evidence of
ischemia during his hospitalization.
4. Arrhythmias - During his first night of hospitalization,
the patient had a twenty beat run of nonsustained ventricular
tachycardia. He had additional episodes of nonsustained
ventricular tachycardia on ablators and should thus have an
AICD placed. Due to his recent sepsis, the patient should
complete his antibiotic course and return as an outpatient
for placement of his AICD as well as biventricular pacer. He
was started on Amiodarone for his arrhythmias, and should
continue this until follow-up with Electrophysiology.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: The patient was discharged in stable
condition to home.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Pneumonia.
2. Sepsis.
3. Congestive heart failure.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. once daily.
2. Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. once daily times three days.
3. Metronidazole 500 mg p.o. three times a day times three
days.
4. Digoxin 125 mcg p.o. once daily.
5. Furosemide 40 mg p.o. twice a day.
6. Spironolactone 25 mg p.o. once daily.
7. Klonopin 0.5 mg p.o. q.h.s. and 0.25 mg p.o. twice a day.
8. Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. three times a day times three
weeks.
9. Carvedilol 3.125 mg p.o. twice a day.
DISCHARGE PLAN:
1. The patient should follow-up with his primary care
physician within two weeks.
2. At this time, the patient's ace inhibitor may be
restarted.
3. The patient will follow-up with Electrophysiology in two
weeks for placement of AICD as well as biventricular pacer.
4. The patient should continue taking Klonopin which was
prescribed by his outpatient psychiatrist for anxiety and
depression symptoms.

History of Present Illness:
23 yo male with history of type 1 DM, reports 10days of dry
cough and fevers. He notes the initial onset of a fever 10 days
ago, which was self limited. He felt better for approximately
two days, but then developed a SOB, dry cough, congestion, and a
stomach ache. He notes decreased appetite and decreased PO
intake. He has not been checking his finger sticks but was self
titrating his insulin to lower doses of only 15 units of Humalog
tid instead of 21-23. He also notes intermittent dizziness with
bilateral pleuritic chest pain, worse with deep breaths. He had
nausea without vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or
constipation. Denies problems with urination. He notes that his

day long and does not take much po otherwise.
In the ED, he initially triggered for SVT to the 170's. Labs
were drawn and were consistent with DKA. He received 3L of NS.
He was started on insulin 5 units IV x1, then started on a drip
at 5 units hour. Urine and blood cultures sent. CXR consistent
with multifocal pneumonia so he was given a dose of ceftriaxone
and azithromycin. Repeat EKG showed sinus tachycardia. Vitals

MICRO:
[**2103-2-22**] BLOOD CULTURE - MSSA
CXR: Multifocal pneumonia, with relative sparing of the right
lower lung.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. DKA: Patient with history of Type 1 Insulin Dependant
Diabetes since age 5. Had not seen a doctor in years. Obtaining
insulin in [**Country 6607**] and self dosing based on "how he felt" On
Admission, initial BS was 310, and he was started on an insulin
drip in the ED. FS were monitored q1h and pH and lytes were
checked q4h. He was maintained on an insulin drip until his AG
closed and transitioned to SQ insulin. [**Last Name (un) **] consulted and
aided in insulin regimen with higher dose of evening Lantus and
an aggressive sliding scale; they will follow-up with patient
within one week of discharge.
2. Community acquired multifocal pneumonia: Patient with
reported 10 days of URI symptoms. CXR on admission consistent
with multifocal pneumonia. There was some suspicion that this
was a post-influenza bacterial pneumonia, with sputum Gram stain
showing 3+ GPC in clusters, consistent with his MSSA bacteremia.
Patient started on ceftiaxone/azithromycin on [**2-22**], which was
later transitioned to Levofloxacin for a 5-day course. With
continued fevers on this regimen, further cultures and imaging
(CT chest) were obtained that showed know multifocal pneumonia
with very small pleural effusions, and no evidence of
abscess/loculation. On CXR upon transfer, there is a
radiolucency that may be indicative of cavitation, which will
need follow-up imaging.
3. MSSA bacteremia: Pulmonary source, with 3+ GPCs in clusters
on gram stain. Gram positive cocci in clusters grew from
cultures on [**2-22**], with surveillance cultures negative to date.
Patient started on vancomycin on [**2-23**] which was transitioned to
Nafcillin on [**2-24**] after grew out to be MSSA. Given the risk of
endocarditis with Staph aureus, TTE was done and did not show
any vegetations. A PICC line was placed once he was afebrile
and culture-negative for >48 hours and he will be continued on
Nafcillin for a 21-day course.
4. Tachycardia: Patient profoundly tachycardic on admission with
heart rates in 170s. EKG demonstrated sinus tachycardia. Patient
was aggressively hydrated, but the tachycardia persisted.
Etiology deemed secondary to infection, pleuritic chest pain
secondary to pneumonia, also possible withdrawal given negative
serum EtOH or nicotine withdrawal. TSH was within normal limits.
He required IVF boluses to manage his tachycardia on exertion
that persisted despite being afebrile and improving clinically.
5. Alcohol abuse: Per report patient drinks [**5-1**] vodka
drinks/day. Written for CIWA scale on night of admission.
Received 5mg IV valium on night of admission due to persistent
tachycardia into 170s and hypertension with SBP~150s. Heart and
blood pressure improved. Since he did not score the CIWA scale,
there was no need for further valium in house. Social work
consulted to address alcohol use especially in setting of
diabetes.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
PPM placement [**7-11**]
History of Present Illness:
89 YO M with recent ETOH abuse, HTN, likely vascular dementia
and episodes of arm and leg shaking with decreased
responsiveness over the past 1.5 years presenting after several
similar episodes within the past several days. Per his family,
he had 3 episodes on [**7-5**] and 6th and 1-2 episodes of the
7th. He has had no episodes since that time. The patient's
daughter and wife describe his past episodes as: eyes are
dilated, he flails his arms out and he taps either foot, he is
intermittently responsive throughout the episode. At other times
he will cling to his chair, with his eyes dilated, and when his
wife or daughter asks him what the matter is, he says "nothing."
His family also notes that he is getting increasingly confused,
falling about 3 times within the past month (without fractures).
He denies any symptoms during the episodes and actually does not
remember them at all. He does endorse one fall.
.
Upon presentation to the ED, his VS were initially notable for
bradycardia to the 50s which dropped down to 30s with a stable
BP and without symptoms. His labs were notable for hyponatremia
to 129 and a negative trop. Multiple EKGs reportedly looked like
AFLUT with variable slow conduction. EP and cards were called
due to c/f complete HB. Per the ED resident's report, EP and
cards did not think the EKGs were c/f CHB. Exam was otherwise
notable for confusion, orientation times [**2-1**] which his family
reported was at his baseline. His neuro exam was reportedly
non-focal. Given his mental status and episodes of syncope,
neurology was also called and felt these episodes were unlikely
to be seizures. A CT head was done and showed small vessel
disease which neurology felt was c/w with his poor mental
status. Since the patient is on atenolol at home, he was given
Ca gluconate although without effect. He was also given aspirin.
Atropine was pulled but not given. Per report, his Bps remained
stable. Vs prior to tx : 97.3 50 152/82 16 100% on 2L.
.
Upon arrival to the floor, he reports feeling well. He states
that he stopped drinking 5-6 months ago because his wife stopped
buying alcohol and not because he wasn't feeling well. He
reports feeling himself and has no complaints.
.

lacunes.
3. Ethmoid sinus disease and fluid in the bilateral mastoid air
cells, with
extension of fluid in the left middle ear cavity. Findings may
represent an
ongoing inflammatory process, but clinical correlation is
recommended.

Brief Hospital Course:
89 year old man with a history of high alcohol intake until 10
days prior, HTN, and several months of episodes of altered
mental status and falls now presenting s/p fall with
bradycardia and pauses.
# Bradycardia with history of atrial fibrillation and 5 second
pauses. Patient was thought to be asymptomatic, but on
observation in the ICU he was more confused during these
episodes. EP was consulted and pacemaker was placed on [**2155-7-11**].
He was also started on ASA 325mg of atrial fibrillation.
Coumadin was not started due to recent falls and ETOH abuse.
Several hours after pacemaker was placed blood cultures drawn on
admission returned positive. Blood cultures were obtained to
complete workup for altered mental status though infection was
not the leading diagnosis. Pt was started on vancomycin on
[**2155-7-11**] after cultures returned positive. ID team was consulted
who recommended TEE to rule out endocarditis. TEE was attempted
but unsuccessful. He had a panorex on [**7-16**] and was evaluated by
dentistry who did not feel he had an acute infection. At time
of discharge plan was to continue nafcillin for 4 weeks, and 2
weeks of levoquin and rifampin orally. Midline should be pulled
upon completion of nafcillin course. Weekly
CBC/diff/electrolytes and LFTs should be checked and faxed to [**Hospital **]
clinic. Pt has follow up with device clinic and [**Hospital **] clinic as
noted below.
.
# Altered mental status. Likely [**3-4**] vascular dementia with
possible contribution of hyponatremia and alcohol dependence. At
risk for Wernicke's. He was given thiamine, MVI, folic acid. He
did not score on CIWA during hospital stay. Blood cultures drawn
to complete infectious workup and after 48 hrs grew three
bottles of coag negative staphylococcus. Neurology consulted
and B12, folate, and TSH, along with cardiac enzymes, CBC, chem
7, LFTs, ammonia returned within normal limits.
#During his hospitalization pt was noted to have poor dentition.
He will require follow up with the [**Hospital 9786**] clinic at rehab for
complete exam, cleaning and plan to extract mobile teeth which
include 1,16, 32, and fractured 9.
# Hyponatremia. Urine lytes suggested SIADH possibly secondary
to multiple strokes, history of ETOH abuse, or reset osmostat.
Sodium corrected with fluid restriction. Pt should maintain on
a 1500cc fluid restriction.
# Shaking episodes at home. The etiology of this remains
unclear. It may be related to pauses or episodes of profound
bradycardia vs seizures. neuro did not feel EEG would be high
yield. After pacer was placed, he had no further episodes during
his hospitalization.
# Falls. [**Month (only) 116**] be related to posterior column demyelinization vs
ETOH abuse vs bradycardia. Pt was evaluated by PT who felt he
was incredibly unsteady on his feet and would not be able to use
a walker without placing excess weight on his left arm
(pacemaker site). He was discharged to rehab.
# Code: Full (discussed with wife)

-----
Head MR 4/21:1. 1.8-cm enhancing mass in the right
frontoparietal lesion with hemorrhagic component, with edema
that partially enters into right side of the splenium of corpus
callosum, corresponding to the finding on CT scan. The finding
is most likely representing metastatic disease; however, other
differential diagnoses include lymphoma and PNET.
2. Normal MR angiography.

Brain pathology:
METASTATIC CLEAR CELL CARCINOMA most consistent with METASTATIC
RENAL CELL CARCINOMA.
-----
MRI post-op:IMPRESSION: Status post resection of right parietal
enhancing lesion. Blood products are seen at the surgical site
with a small area of residual enhancement suspected at the
anterior margin of the surgical cavity. Surrounding edema is
again noted, unchanged. No interval new abnormalities are seen.
-----
CT torso:Large, heterogeneously-enhancing, necrotic left renal
neoplasm, likely renal cell carcinoma. Pulmonary metastases as
well as a single probable hepatic metastasis are seen. Filling
defect within the left renal vein may represent non- occlusive
bland or tumor thrombus.
Brief Hospital Course:
46 yo R-handed man with a history of HTN who presented to the ED
with a 5 day history of headaches, clumsiness in his L-arm, and
walking into objects on the left. These symptoms had been
fluctuating since onset. On exam, he was very mildly
inattentive, had a L-upper quadrantanopia, a L-parietal drift,
and agraphesthesia in the L-arm. CT head in the ED showed a
round mass in the R-parietal region ([**Doctor Last Name 352**]/white junction) with
extensive edema. In addition, he had anemia.
An MRI with contrast was ordered which showed the mass in more
detail. It was radiographically consistent with a metastasis.
He was started on Decadron 4 mg q6h due to the edema. He was
then taken to surgery for tumor resection. This went well
without complication. His exam remained essentially unchanged
afterwards. His decadron was slowly weaned after surgery. The
preliminary path was renal cell carcinoma.
He then had a torso CT which showed a large 11.1 x 18.3 x 13.1
cm renal mass on the left. This did not compress any major
vessels. It also showed evidence of bilateral lung metastases
and probable liver metastases.
The oncology service was consulted and saw him here. They
arranged for him to follow-up quickly as an outpatient. He will
also follow-up in brain tumor clinic. The treatment course is
not fully clear at this time and will be determined at his
outpatient oncology appointments.
He was seen by social work here for assistance with coping and
his new cancer diagnosis. He is clearly upset, but does accept
the diagnosis.
For seizure prophylaxis, he was started on Keppra 500 mg [**Hospital1 **].
He will continue this and may need to increase it as an
outpatient. He will see multiple neurologists
in the near future and this can be managed as well. His
dexamethasone will continue at 2 mg [**Hospital1 **] for now. Again, this
may be decreased in the future depending on how he does as an
outpatient.
CV: Continued atenolol, but his creatinine was initially
[**Last Name (LF) 14490**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] we stopped his HCTZ.
He will follow-up in brain tumor clinic and with oncology.

summary she had an Aortic valve replacement with a 21mm [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Male First Name (un) 923**]
tissue valve. Her bypass time was 72 minutes with a crossclamp
time of 50 minutes. She tolerated the surgery well and following
surgery he was transferred to the CVICU for invasive monitoring
in stable condition. She remained hemodynamically stable in the
immedicate post-op period and was extubated on the day of
surgery. On post-op day one she was started on beta blockers and
diuretics and gently diuresed towards her pre-op weight. Later
on this day she was transferred to the telemetry floor for
further care. Chest tubes and epicardial pacing wires were
removed per protocol.
In the evening of post-op day 2 she went into rapid atrial
fibrillation. She was given an Amiodarone bolus, IV Lopressor
and started on PO Amiodarone. She remained in atrial
fibrillation requiring increasing doses of Metoprolol to control
her rate. She was started on Coumadin on POD 3 for more than 24
hours of continuous atrial fibrillation.
She gradually improved while working with physical therapy for
strength and mobility. On post-op day five she was discharged to
home with the appropriate follow-up appointments.

Chief Complaint:
Metatstatic osteogenic sarcoma; SVC syndrome
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
ONCOLOGIC HISTORY. T cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma over
20
years ago, treated and cured with radiation and chemotherapy.
Radiation included mediastinum and chest.
Diagnosed with primary MFH (malignant fibrous histocytoma) of
the
bone (left tibia) in [**2193-6-24**]. Received neoadjuvant
chemotherapy with cisplatin/adriamycin (AP), and had definitive
resection in [**2193-11-24**]. Operative specimen showed
suboptimal necrosis (only 5% necrosis) and her postoperative
chemotherapy was switched to AP alternating with IE
(ifosfamide/etoposide). Finished chemotherapy in [**2194-2-22**].
She was treated by Dr [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] at [**Hospital1 18**]. Her chemotherapy
course was complicated by profound myelosuppression and
mucositis/esophagitis.
HPI. Presents with worsening dyspnea (particularly on exertion),
fatigue, and upper body/facial edema over the last several days.
The patient was followed in Buffalo, NY, since she finished
chemotherapy. She apparently was noted to have small lung
nodule
or nodules in early [**2194**] by imaging. This was followed by
observation and in [**2195-5-24**] one of the nodules became very
large
(over 10 cm) and began to cause symptoms. She had a telephone
discussion with Dr [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and she decided to pursue
options including possible surgery in Buffalo [**Location (un) 63519**]
Institute. However, the symptoms got quickly worse, and one of
the lesions, apparently mediastinal in location, began to cause
SVC type symptoms.
She was treated with palliative XRT to the mediastinal mass to
18
[**Doctor Last Name **], finished on or around [**8-3**]. She was also started
on gemcitabine/docetaxel as 3rd line sarcoma therapy. Due to
extensive prior chemotherapy for her hematologic malignancy and
osteosarcoma and previous serious myelosuppression with AP and
IE, she was started on a 50% dose of gemcitabine and did NOT
receive docetaxel for her 1st cycle. She receive day 1 of her
2nd cycle last Saturday ([**8-15**]) and was scheduled to
receive day 8 (gemcitabine and docetaxel) next Saturday in
Buffalo. She has received neulasta even with gemcitabine out of
fear for myelosuppression.
She decided to transfer her care back to [**Hospital1 18**]. She feels that
her shortness of breath, particularly when she tries to ambulate
is worse, and that her face and left arm have begun to swell up
over the last 2 days. She is reasonably comfortable at rest,
but uses oxygen 6-8 hours every day for the last few days.
Seen in clinic today and was admitted to the hospital for
aggressive palliative treatment of her progressive symptoms.
Upon arrival to the floor, the patient states that she also has
some increased chest pain in the midsternal area over the past 2
days. Not pleuritic in nature. Does not describe any acute
worsening of her respiratory status, though is tachypneic at
rest. She additionally describes worsening fatigue, with more
difficulty with movement.
Past Medical History:
--T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma 20 years ago treated with chemo
and mediastinal irradiation
--Osteosarcoma of the proximal left tibia s/p 2 cycles of
Adriamycin and Cisplatin in [**9-28**] and [**10-28**], complicated by
febrile neutropenia, espophagitis, s/p radical resection on

STUDIES:
CT CHEST with CONTRAST IMPRESSION [**8-20**]:
1) 16 x 15 x 10cm, new prevascular mediastinal mass occluding a
long segment of the superior vena cava, severely compromising
the right bronchial tree and right lung pulmonary circulation
invading the pericardium, accompanied by new and/or enlarging
right lung nodules and bilateral pleural effusions.
2) Well-developed collateral venous circulation reflecting
superior vena cava syndrome.
3) Segmental pulmonary embolus, left lower lobe.
.
ECHO [**8-20**]:The left and right atria appear compressed by an
extrinsic mass. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal.
The left ventricular cavity is small. Left ventricular systolic
function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is mild mitral valve prolapse. Mitral
regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
Compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed)
of [**2193-12-20**], the atria now appear compressed by an
extrinsic mass.
.
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY VISUALIZATION OF VEINS IMPRESSION [**8-21**]:
1) Recent thrombosis of the left and right subclavian and
brachiocephalic veins, due to severe encasement of the SVC.
2)A 12 mm x 8 cm stent was placed in the SVC and extended with a
10 mm x 6 cm stent into the left brachiocephalic vein with good
angiographic results.
.
[**8-20**] Bilateral LENIs: negative
.
CXR [**8-23**]:
Markedly increased bilateral basal consolidations are seen
accompanied by bilateral increase in pleural effusion. This
consolidations might be either due to bibasilar atelectasis or
massive aspiration. Mild pulmonary edema is seen.
There is no change in the position of the right central venous
line.
Unchanged position of the central venous stent.

medistinal mass compressing right upper lobe bronchus, shifting
mediastinum to left and compressing right and left atria seen on
CT scan. ECHO done confirming left and right atrial
compression, but only physiologic effusion. Thoracic surgery
consulted for surgical consideration, however, given extensive
vascular invasion of mass, felt to not be a surgical candidate.
Not a candidate for XRT per Rad-Onc given already has received
maximal doses.
.
She was admitted to Oncology service on [**8-19**] as patient was
considering chemotherapy options, although disease has
progressed despite chemo/XRT. She is currently on 3rd line
therapy, so prognosis is poor. Patient aware of prognisos. After
CT scan was ordered showing SVC syndrome, right upper lobe lung
compression, subsegmental PE, possible pericardial invasion and
compression of right and left atria on Echo, she was transferred
to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] on [**8-20**] for closer monitoring.
.
She was monitored overnight in the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] without any overnight
events. She remained tachycardic 120-130's (although has been
for 1 month) and bp stayed 95-110 systolic (also stable for a
month). Pulmonary performed thoracentesis of L pleural effusion.
Sent for cell count/diff, LDH, total protein, cultures and
cytology. Given the plan for IR SVC stent and possible
Interventional Pulmonary stent, she was transferred to MICU West
for plan to monitor for 24-48 hours. Oncology was notified
prior to transfer.
.
On the [**Hospital Ward Name 517**] MICU [**Location (un) 2452**]. [**6-20**] Bronchoscopy left airways
patent. Right Main Stem narrowed secondary to external
compression. Bronchus intermedius collapsed. Balloon dilatation
of right main stem, and bronchus intermedius. Covered stent
placed in the bronchus intermedius, and Y stent placed
(trachea-LMS-RMS). Returned from Interventional Pulmonary
intubated, sedated, hypotensive on neo. Changed to
fentanyl/versed. Pt was seen by IR, stent was placed with
femoral line and sheath in arm for access. Pt was given 4 liters
of fluid and 1 unit PRBC for procedure. Fluid overloaded by
report and sedated; therefore pt was not extubated overnight. Pt
alert and transfered to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] [**8-22**] for extubation. For [**8-22**]
patient was extubated, with improved aeration of right lung.
Over the day, night patient developed increased sputum
production and increasing opacity in left lower lobe.
.
On [**2195-8-23**] started on Acapella therapy, maximum ventilation via
shovel mask/O2 via NC; still with dyspnea and poor saturation.
Patient requiested code status change to DNR/DNI. Started on
morphine IV for comfort/decreased dyspnea ---> changed to
morphine gtt on [**2195-8-24**]. Added scopolamine for secretion
management [**8-24**] and ativan prn for agitation.
.
Patient's respiratory status continued to decline. One the
afternoon of [**8-24**] the patient began to take agonal breaths and
PEA was noted on the cardiac monitor. Physician exam revealed
patient had died. Time of Death 1553 on [**2195-8-24**]. Family was by
patient's bedside.
.
2) Tachycardia - Likely secondary to atrial
irritation/compression with intermittent hypoxia. Taking poor
po intake, additionally hypovolemic. Patient heart rhythm
alternated tachy-brady until PEA.
.
3) Thrombocytopenia- Improved, still low. Consider heavy heparin
products and HIT especially in light of rapid drop. No further
lab draws as of [**8-24**] given comfort measures status.
.
4) PE- subsegmental, diagnosed on Chest CT. Not likely causing
her symptomatology. Anticoagulation contraindicated given
bleeding risk and invasion into pericardium. No further
intervention given comfort measures status.
.
5) LLL opacity- concerning for pneumonia. Possible evolving
infarct from PE or new thrombus. No further intervention/CXR
given comfort measures status.
.
6) Non anion gap acidosis- consistent with persistent
hyperventilation. No diarrhea or ATN noted. Continue to monitor.
No further lab draws given comfort measures status.
.
7) Anemia- patient has myelosupression secondary to
chemotherapy. No further lab draws given comfort measures
status.
.
8) Hypothyroid - No further lab draws given comfort measures
status.
.
9)FEN: No further lab draws given comfort measures status.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 174**] is a 64 year-old woman who has had progressive DOE,
cough, and recurrent respiratory infections over the past 3
years. She notes that her oxygen saturation has worsened over
the past 1 year and she has required supplemental O2. She has
had [**5-15**] repiratory infections requiring antibiotics over the
past few years. Her coughing episodes were quite bothersome and
occurred about 3-6 times per day. She denies orthopnea or
tussive syncope, though she does sleep on 2 pillows and uses
CPAP at night. She does not report having to have been
intubated for respiratory failure. She has been on and off of
prednisone over the past 2 years, and she carries a diagnosis of
hypersensitivity penumonitis, having recently undergone a VATS R
lung biopsy.
She was found to have severe, diffuse tracheobronchomalacia.
She underwent tracheobronchial silicone Y-stent placement on
[**2179-3-11**]. She notes that she has had some difficulty clearing
phlegm and annoying cough over the past few days, though her
initial freedom from coughing over the first several days
post-stenting was remarkable. She quotes her overall
improvement in dyspnea at 9
out of 10. She notes that she has even gone up to 5 hours at a
stretch without supplemental O2.

[**2180-4-12**] CHEST (PA & LAT)
FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of [**3-12**], there is little
interval change. Again, there are low lung volumes with
elevation of the right hemidiaphragm and atelectatic changes at
both bases. No evidence of acute pneumonia.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted on [**2179-4-3**] after presenting to the ED
with worsening dyspnea and thick sputum production. She was
resumed on bronchodilators, NS nebulizers, Mucomyst, mucinex,
CPAP. On [**2179-4-5**] she had pulmonary function test with a 6 min
walk prior to removal of Y stent. On [**2179-4-8**] she underwent
successful Flexible bronchoscopy and right thoracotomy with
intrathoracic tracheoplasty with mesh, right mainstem and
bronchus intermedius bronchoplasty with mesh, and left
mainstem bronchoplasty with mesh. She was transferred to the
SICU for close monitoring, right chest tube to suction. Post
operative steroid taper initiated. Perioperative Ancef started.
Epidural for pain control, Dilaudid PCA continued. The patient
required two boluses for a total of 500 ml, for low blood
pressure associated with the epidural. The epidural was split,
and a PCA was initiated.
On POD #1 she was started on a clear liquid diet, steroid taper,
chest tube continued to suction, wound care consult for burn
from hot pack. Wound was treated with dry gauze and kerlix wrap
then Adaptic following blister rupture. On POD #2 the
right chest-tube was removed and her diet was advanced to a full
liquid and advanced as she tolerated. On POD #4 the epidural
was converted to PO pain medication, the foley was removed and
she voided without difficulty. She was seen by physical therapy
who deemed her safe for home. She continued to improve, her
oxygenation requirements improved with 97% RA saturation at rest
and 93-95% with activity. She was discharged to home on POD #6
on RA with home oxygen 1L via nasal cannula as needed. She will
follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] as an outpatient.

The right and left kidneys measure 10.8 and 10.4 cm
respectively. Both
kidneys are normal in appearance, without hydronephrosis, stones
or renal
masses. Doppler analysis of the main and segmental renal
arteries were
performed in both kidneys. There is normal symmetric arterial
waveforms in
both kidneys, with resistive indices ranging from 0.72 x 0.87 on
the right and 0.70 to 0.81 on the left. Normal flow is seen in
both renal veins.
IMPRESSION: Limited study demonstrating symmetric renal arterial
waveforms in both kidneys, without evidence for renal artery
stenosis.
Brief Hospital Course:
She was transferred in for surgical evaluation, of note the LV
gram indicated EF 35% with mild peripheral edema and was treated
with ACE inhibitor and betablocker preop op, repeat
echocardiogram preoperatively revealed EF 60%. Additionally she
was taken off aggrenox for wash out prior surgery. Her renal
function was monitored with creatinine 2 on admission that was
her baseline. Additionally she had been treated for right arm
cellulitis at outside hospital and was on doxycycline at the
time of transfer, and was resolved prior to surgery. In
relation to neuro it was noted that she had been progressingly
having issues with short term memory and was drastically worse
since admission at outside hospital but there was no focal
deficits. There was a question of NSTEMI but based on
information the troponin 0.03 with elevated creatinine and CK
61, this is not definitive for NSTEMI and enzymes were normal on
transfer. Also she was significantly hypertensive and
antihypertensives were adjusted for management.
On [**2200-7-18**] she was brought to the operating room for coronary
artery bypass graft surgery, see operative report for further
details. She was transferred to the CVICU in stable condition
on propofol drip. The next day she was extubated but remained
somulant with right sided weakness. On post operative day two
she had CT scan and neurology was consulted. The CT scan
revealed a hypodensity in the left occipital lobe that was
considered chronic but there was no previous scan to compare to.
She did not undergo MRI due to inability to lay still and risk
of aspiration with sedation. Due to her somnulence a dobhoff
was placed and she was started on tube feeds until she was
cleared by speech and swallow. Additonally she was placed on
lasix drip for diuresis with good response, and then
transitioned to bolus dosing for continued diuresis. She
continued to slowly improve and was transferred to the floor on
post operative day five. She progressively became more
hypertensive and was transferred back to the intensive care unit
for intravenous medication for hypertension. Nephrology was
consulted and further testing ruled out renal artery stenosis
and pheochromocytoma. Her medications were changed and titrated
for blood pressure management. She was transferred back to the
floor on post operative day eleven for the remainder of her
stay. She continued with slow responses and difficulty
remembering, and MRI was not able to be obtained due to her
inability to lay still. Physical therapy and occupational
therapy worked with her and she is making slow progress. She
was started on flomax for urinary retention. Her blood pressure
medications were again adjusted with acute kidney injury with
creatinine peak to 3.5 which has trended down off lasix and
lisinopril. Of note this is the reason she is not discharged on
ace inhibitor and diuretic, with plan for follow up labs at
rehab. She was cleared for discharge on post operative day
eighteen to acute rehab at [**Location (un) **] rehab for continued
therapy.

The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). The
right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with normal free wall
contractility. A bioprosthetic [**Month/Day/Year 8813**] valve prosthesis is
present. The transaortic gradient is normal for this prosthesis.
Trace [**Month/Day/Year 8813**] regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets
are mildly thickened. A bioprosthetic mitral valve prosthesis is
present. The mitral prosthesis appears well seated, with normal
leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. No mitral
regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity
of mitral regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.]
The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is an 83 y/o female who initially presented with
dizziness, found to have an [**Month/Day/Year 8813**] hematoma whose course has
been complicated hyponatremia and a UTI.
.
#) [**Month/Day/Year **] Hematoma: Patient was initially admitted with
abdominal pain and dizziness, found to have an [**Month/Day/Year 8813**] hematoma.
She was initially admitted to the CVICU for strict blood
pressure control, managed on a nitroglycerin gtt with a goal SBP
of 90 to 120. A TTE was done that showed that her cardiac
function was intact, when she was found to be hemodynamically
stable, she was transferred to the CICU on [**2-15**]. Her coumadin
was held due to concern for possible progression of her
hematoma, and in case she needed future operative management.
Her blood pressure regimen was adjusted to keep her goal BP
under 120/80 if possible, at the time of discharge her blood
pressure was mainly in the 120's systolic on her regimen of
metoprolol 100mg TID, amlodipine 10mg daily and valsartan 160mg
daily. A repeat CTA was done that showed her hematoma was
stable, and vascular felt that she was safe for discharge with
outpatient follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. If her blood pressure is
not at goal during her rehab stay, would avoid hydralazine and
start low dose lisinopril to help with better BP management.
She had also previously been on HCTZ 25mg daily, which would be
another option as long as her sodium is stable.
.
#) Hyponatremia: on [**2-17**] patient was first noted to be
hyponatremic with a serum Na of 128, she was initially treated
with lasix and fluid restriction. Over the next few days her
serum sodium did not improve and she was transferred to the
medicine service for further management. Her serum sodium
improved with normal saline over the next few days as she was
hypovolemic, hyponatremic.
.
#) Urinary Tract Infection: on [**2-17**] patient complained of
dysuria, a urinalysis was done that was suggestive of infection
and she was initially started on cipro, a culture was done that
grew pan-sensitive enterococcus and she was treated with a 4 day
course of augmentin.
.
#) Altered Mental Status: on [**2-21**] patient was noted to be more
somnolent, a CT of her head was done that showed a question of
an old infarct, so neurology was consulted. After their
evaluation, an MRI was recommended but due to prior stapedectomy
she was unable to undergo the MRI, it was decided that since the
lesion seen on the CT was old, she did not need an MRI. Her
mental status improved over the next few days, and it was
thought that her dehydration and hyponatremia were likely
contributing her altered mental status. She will follow up with
neurology as an outpatient.
.
#) Atrial Fibrillation: restarted home warfarin at 5mg daily,
uptitrated metoprolol for blood pressure control
.
#) Hypothyroidism: continued home synthroid
.
#) GERD: continued home omeprazole

The patient has had 2 recent hospitalization in [**2170-10-28**].
He was admitted from [**Date range (1) 98263**] with acute on chronic sytolic
CHF and multifocal pneumonia and sepsis. During that admission,
he was intubated and on pressors. He had received large volumes
of fluid for hypotension and then was dramatically diuresed to
improve his respiratory status. By discharge, the patient was
euvolemic and his home diuretics were restarted. At his re

overloaded with LE edema. He was diuresed with lasix over 2
days. He was discharged on 60mg po lasix.
Of note, he has a recent history of MDR Klebsiella Pneumonia. He
was put on meropenem during his hospital stay, and discharged on
ertapenem. He will complete his abx course on [**2170-11-16**].
Patient was found this morning at rehab with O2 sats in 60s. At
baseline he is on 2-4L of oxygen. EMS put a NRB on him and he
was 100% O2 sat. In the ED, initial VS:BP 141/64 HR 70 RR 16
100% on 15L NRB. Labs notable for an INR of 4.4 and BNP of

[**2170-11-14**] EKG: Ventricular paced rhythm with ventricular
premature beat. Atrial mechansim is probably atrial
fibrillation. Since the previous tracing of the same date no
significant change.
Imaging:
[**2170-11-14**] CXR:IMPRESSION: Interval progression of congestive
heart failure. Severe chronic lung disease.
[**2170-11-15**] CXR: Moderate cardiomegaly is stable. Large right
pleural effusion and small left pleural effusion are stable
associated with adjacent atelectasis. Moderate pulmonary edema
has improved, is asymmetric, greater in the right side. Of note,
there are two more focal denser areas that could be edema or
pneumonia in the right mid lung and increasing in the left upper
lobe in the periphery.
Left transvenous pacemaker leads terminate in a standard
position. Right PICC tip is in the lower SVC.
[**2170-11-19**] Chest CT:
1. Minimal degree of pulmonary edema. Significant improvement
compared to the prior studies. The left upper lobe focal area of
consolidation as described, might represent new pneumonia, also
may represent a residue of the prior extensive consolidation
seen in that area dating back to [**2170-11-15**].
2. Interstitial changes in subpleural location, most of the
upper lobes that might represent nonspecific interstitial
pneumonia.
3. Minimal emphysema, affecting the upper lungs.
4. Severe cardiomegaly and extensive coronary and aortic
calcifications.
5. Mild compression fracture of T12.
6. Bilateral moderate pleural effusions accompanied by bibasal
areas of
atelectasis.
[**2170-11-21**] u/s calf:
IMPRESSION: Small fluid collection corresponding to palpable
abnormality.
The appearance is nonspecific. Considerations might include
resolving
hematoma or small abscess. This collection should be able to be
targeted for aspiration by palpation, given its superficial
location.
Brief Hospital Course:
75 yo M with a history of HTN, HL, Afib, with 2 recent
admissions for multilobar pneumonia and CHF exacerbation
1. Respiratory distress: Initially presented from rehab with
increased peripheral edema, dyspnea and O2 sats in 60s on
baseline 2-4L NC. Respiratory distress was felt to be
multifactorial, from recent pneumonia and acute on chronic CHF
exacerbation.
a. acute on chronic systolic CHF exacerbation: Upon admission,
patient was placed on BiPAP and transferred to the MICU.
Quickly weaned to 40% O2 by nasal canula, with good diuretic
response to 40 mg IV furosemide [**Hospital1 **]. Net fluid balance of
-2.283 L during ICU course of 1.5 days. The patient was
transferred to the floor, where diuresis was continued using
lasix 40mg IV prn to maintain a fluid balance of -1 to 1.5
L/day. As patient approached euvolemia, he was transitioned to
home dose of lasix 60mg daily. Throughout hospitalization,
maintained on B-blocker, [**Last Name (un) **], loop diuretic and digoxin.
b. multilobar pneumonia: Patient admitted on meropenem and
continued on 2 week antibiotic course for MDR Klebsiella
Pneumonia, ending on [**2170-11-16**]. On final day of meropenem,
patient became febrile to 101, unchanged WBC count, and stable
respiratory status. Blood cultures and urine cultures remained
negative. Repeat chest CT showed minimal degree of pulmonary
edema and a left upper lobe focal area of consolidation
representing new pneumonia vs residue of prior pneumonia.
Meropenem was continued for an additional week of therapy for
recalcitrant/ recurrent pneumonia and patient remained afebrile.
Induced sputum culture grew extensive commensal respiratory
flora and stenotrophomonas maltophilia sensitive to bactrim.
Throughout hospital stay, patient was maintained on outpatient
COPD medications: albuterol, ipratropium, advair. Encouraged
pulmonary toilet with incentive spirometry and Guaifenesin for
expectoration. Upon discharge, patient denied any shortness of
breath and was at his baseline
2. Atrial fibrillation: Patient rate controlled by A- pacing
(s/p ICD implantation for CHF). Admitted with a
supratherapeutic INR of 4.4 likely secondary to warfarin
interaction with antibiotics. Coumadin was held until INR
trended down into therapeutic level and patient was monitored
closely for any evidence of occult hemmorhage (see below).
Discharged on home dose of coumadin with instruction to follow
PT/INR closely.
3. Acute on chronic Anemia: Admitted with hematocrit of 28.1, at
baseline. Through hospital course, hematocrit slowly trended
down to nadir of 22.3 in the setting of supratherapeutic INR
although no source of active bleed was identified. Patient
remained hemodynamically stable throughout with no symptoms of
endorgan ischemia. Transfused 1 UpRBC with bolus of lasix 40mg
with transfusion to prevent volume overload. Hematocrit at
discharge was 24.0.
4. Left calf hematoma: On [**11-18**] patient was noted to have a
tender nodule on left lateral calf. Ultrasound showed small
fluid collection consistent with resolving abscess versus
hematoma. Incision of nodule revealed a hematoma and the
collection was left in place to resorb spontaneously.
5. Hyponatremia: Patient developed hyponatremia from 127 to 130s
following diuresis with furosemide. Of note, patient had prior
history of hyponatremia secondary to SIADH from chronic lung
disease.
6. Hyperlipidemia: Continued atorvastatin 10mg po daily.
7. History of adrenal insufficiency: asymptomatic, no need for
steriods. Patient discharged on home dose of hydrocortisone but
would recommend reassessment by primary care physician whether
need to continue steriod replacement

Discharge Instructions:
You came to the hospital because you were having shortness of
breath. You were found to have a pneumonia as well as fluid
overload from your CHF. You were transfered to the MICU where
you were put on a BIPAP machine and diuresed to get extra fluid
off of your lungs. You did well on this and were transferred
out to the medicine floor when you were breathing better.
On the floor, you continued treatment with antibiotics for your
pneumonia and medicines for your CHF which both improved. You
completed a course of antibiotics while here for pneumonia,
which has resolved. You were also found to have a nodule on
your left lower extremity. This was found to be a hematoma, or
collection of blood, which should resolve spontaneously. You
were also restarted on your home dose of steroids.
