abnormalities suggest myocardial ischemia. clinical correlation is suggested. since the previous tracing of same date sinus tachycardia and further st-t wave changes are both now present. . cxr (ap) : chest, single view: a right-sided dual-channel central venous catheter has tip projecting over the cavoatrial junction. multiple median sternotomy wires appear intact. there is prominent alveolar opacity projecting over the mid- to-lower left lung, with air bronchograms, suggestive of consolidation. prominent interstitial markings in the lung bases appear similar as compared to . no large effusion is detected. cardiomegaly is unchanged. mediastinal and hilar contours are stable. aortic arch calcification is noted. . impression: 1) findings concerning for left pulmonary consolidation, consistent with pneumonia. 2) recommend follow-up cxr in weeks after appropriate treatment, to confirm resolution. . tte : the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with hypokinesis of the basal inferior wall. the remaining segments contract normally (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 aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. . impression: mild-moderate mitral regurgitation. very mild regional systolic dysfunction c/w cad. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , regional and global left ventricular systolic function is improved and the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is now lower. . brief hospital course: 83-year-old female with hx of cad s/p 5v cabg, copd, esrd on hd, chronic diastolic chf (ef 45-50%), dm, and pvd presenting with dyspnea, productive cough and chills and found to have left mid/lower pna. hospital course complicated by hyperglycemia, chf exacerbation, and elevated troponins suggestive of ?nstemi vs. demand ischemia. . #. hypoxic respiratory distress: respiratory distress likely multifactorial in nature, most influenced by pna and acute on chronic chf exacerbation. patient also has history of copd which was probably a less important factor in current status. cxr showed left mid/lower consolidation as well as rapidly evolving right sided consolidation. she was treated for hospital acquired pneumonia given recent hospital admission and dialysis sessions with vancomycin and cefepime (day 1 = ); coverage was later broadened to include levofloxacin (day 1 = ). picc was placed on for continued antibiotics at ltac; plan was to complete a ten day course. she should get a cxr in weeks after completion of treatment to confirm resolution of her pna. pulmonary edema from acute on chronic chf was also likely contributing to her respiratory distress. she was given 80mg iv lasix on the floor and 120mg iv lasix at icu on day of admission. she had subsequent removal of fluid via hd on three consecutive days. in terms of her oxygen requirements, she had been on nc on the floor and then transitioned to nrb when she desated to the 70s at which point she was transferred to the icu. at the icu, she was kept for the majority of time on high flow face mask. she briefly required bipap and nrb at one point but was stable by the time of discharge to the floor. she was sating consistently in the 90s. she continued to breath well on room air on re-admission to the floor and was discharged to rehab saturating >93% on room air, having completed total antibiotic therapy for ten days. - repeat cxr 4-6 weeks after discharge recommended to assess resolution of pna . #. elevated troponins: pt with st depressions on v4-6 on ekg. troponin at admission was at baseline of 0.04 but uptrended, peaking at 6. she was started on a heparin and nitroglycerin gtt. cardiology consult was obtained. tte showed preserved ef and without focal wall motion abnormalities. per cardiology, elevated troponin was likely due to demand ischemia secondary to pneumonia and volume overload as well as metabolic derangements (hyperglycemia). troponin subsequently downtrended to 5.8. she was continued on her aspirin, plavix, beta blocker, acei, and statin throughout hospital admission. . # atrial fibrillation: while in the micu, she had an episode of tachycardia which was atrial fibrillation on ekg. after a one time dose of intravenous metoprolol she quickly reverted back into sinus. her metoprolol was uptitrated to 50mg three times a day and she was in sinus rhythm with good rate control for the remainder of her stay. after discussion with cardiology consult that a single episode of atrial fibrillation in the setting of hypoxic respiratory distress, chf exacerbation, demand ischemia and pneumonia not indication for chronic anticoagulation as she was perisistently in sinus for duration of her hospital stay. if she has further episodes of tachycardia or is noted to be in atrial fibrillation, she should discuss with her pcp or cardiologist future anticoagulation. - metoprolol 50mg tid . #. hyperglycemia: pt presented with critically high blood glucose levels while on the floor. urinalysis showed glucose and trace ketones. anion gap was elevated to 15. hyperglycemia was believed to be secondary to infection (pna) or steroids she had received in the ed for copd. she was given iv fluid boluses while on the floor. she was given insulin boluses and bs was in 400s upon arrival to icu. it downtrended to 100s with insulin sliding scale during her stay here. . #. esrd: patient had history of esrd and was on hd three times a week. cr 4.6 on admission. she received three consecutive days of dialysis to remove fluid as volume overload was contributing to her respiratory distress. she was continued on her sevelamer throughout hospital stay. . #. acute on chronic diastolic chf: tte performed showed preserved ef of > 55% and grossly no focal abnormalities. bnp was elevated to 13k on admission and cxr was consistent with pulmonary edema. she was given 80mg lasix iv on the floor and 120mg lasix x 1 on admission to the icu. she was continued on her cardiac medications, including metoprolol, acei, and nifedipine. her metoprolol was titrated up to 50 mg tid, her nifedipine was titrated down to 30mg daily, and her lisinopril was increased to 40mg daily and her isosorbide was discontinued per recommendations of cardiology and renal. she was instructed to follow up with her pcp and cardiologist regarding these changes. - nifedipine, metoprolol and lisinopril dose changes. -

consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: it was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital. you were admitted with cough and shortness of breath and found to have a pneumonia. you were put on three different antibiotics for this; you completed a total course of ten days as an inpatient. the pneumonia and some excess fluid in your lungs from your heart failure made you have difficulty breathing. you were kept on oxygen and a face mask for most of your hospital admission. also during this admission, your blood tests were concerning for higher than normal heart enzymes that may indicate heart injury. you had an ultrasound of the heart that showed that you likely did not have a heart attack. our cardiology team felt that this was likely due to increased demand on your heart because of your pneumonia, an exacerbation of your heart failure, and your elevated blood sugar level. your heart was working harder because of the pneumonia and because you had extra fluid in your lungs. you had several dialysis sessions to remove that fluid. your blood sugar levels were very high on admission; you were given iv insulin and your sugars came down to normal range by time of discharge. . weigh yourself every morning, md if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. . the following changes were made to your medications: 1) we held your isosorbide dinitrate while you were in the hospital and your blood pressure was well controlled without it. you may discuss with your primary care doctor restarting it if your blood pressure becomes elevated. 2) metoprolol tartate 50mg twice daily was changed to metoprolol tartrate 50mg tid. 3) your lisinopril dose was doubled to 40mg a day 4) your nifedipine dose was decreased to 30mg a day 5) nephrocaps was added to your list of medications by your nephrologist. please discuss this supplement with your outpatient nephrologist. followup instructions: you will be seen by a doctor at your rehab center. upon discharge, please make sure to see your primary care doctor and have a repeat chest x-ray within 4-6 weeks to ensure resolution of your pneumonia. department: when: monday at

reasons. likely hypoglycemia in the setting of stress and liver disease given diaphoresis and consistently low blood sugars while in the unit; in addition there is likely a vasovagal component as the pt had a peritoneal tap 4 hrs before hypotensive episode with likely fluid shift and redistribution. patient also has known history of gib, however, hct is responsive to transfusion of packed red blood cells. sepsis could also cause this picture but ua and blood cultures negative so far. pt has no ischemic ekg changes. no acute respiratory changes to suggest pe. pt's response to fluid resuscitation while in the unit suggests relative hypovolemia/decreased tone. pt was transferred to the floor and remained clinically stable without hypotension. 2. hypoglycemia- pt's finger sticks were found to be in the 50s and 60s while in the unit. she respond to glucose infusions and have improved with resolution of hypotension. concern for hypoglycemia prompted the medical team to hold glyburide while on the floor. her blood glucose has since improved and patient will be discharged home on lower dose of glyburide- 5 mgpoqd. . 3. leukocytosis- pt likely has underlying chronic infection given copd- in addition underlying atelectasis and stress response may explain transient leukocytosis. leucocytosis has since resolved. . 4. diastolic dysfunction: pt's medications were continued while on the floor- lasix, diltiazem, lisinopril, metoprolol, atorvastatin . 5. vaginal itch- pt complained or vaginal itch without discharge. likely candidal given underlying dm and was

pre-operatively. her hematocrit was 22 so she recieved a unit of red cells. on she had a ct which was improved and as a result she was extubated and tolerated it well while on nasal cannula. she was trasnferred to the floor and tube feeds were started on as well and she remained stable there into . on she was stable however developed hypertension and decreased urine output. she was placed on antihypertensive medications in addition to her prior agents and bolused fluid and her uop improved. on she had a cxr which showed pulmonary venous congestion and she was given lasix. her bno was found to be elevated and the team had difficulty controllign her blood pressures. at this time her subdural drain was also pulled. the medicine team was consulted to comment on her hypertension and fluid overload and they felt althoguh she had a history of chf she was not currently in it. recommendations were made and carried out with improvement in her medical status. on her exam continued to improve, her blood pressure was under control, and she was progressing towards discharge to rehab. she pulled her ng tube on , however, a po diet was initiated and she did quite well. 3 days of calorie counts were obtained by nutrition, who determined that she adequately met her calorie requirements with oral intake. she complained of r knee pain on , and an xray revealed no acute fracture

radiograph, 6:05 a.m. on available at the time of this review showed no change in this malposition. lungs are low in volume but aside from mild left basal atelectasis, clear. heart size normal. no pleural abnormality. . ecg : sinus rhythm. consider left atrial abnormality. left anterior fascicular block. delayed r wave progression is non-specific but clinical correlation is suggested. no previous tracing available for comparison. . ct head w/o contrast : impression: 1. no acute hemorrhage or fracture is detected. 2. fluid in the paranasal sinuses, may be secondary to recent intubation/surgery. . right elbow xray : impression: 1. slight irregularity at the radial head suspicious for an occult fracture. small joint effusion. 2. enthesopathy at medial and lateral epicondyles of distal humerus and triceps insertion on the olecranon. . portable cxr : findings: endotracheal tube is in a proximal location, 9.5 cm above the carina. new nasogastric tube terminates within the stomach with side port near the ge junction. dr. has been paged with these results. exam is otherwise remarkable for worsening atelectasis at the left lung base, with no other relevant short interval changes. . portable cxr : findings: the feeding tube has been removed. the lungs are grossly clear without focal consolidation. hardware within the lower cervical spine is seen. . oropharyngeal videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation : evaluation: an oral and pharyngeal swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed today in collaboration with radiology. nectar-thick liquid (tspn, cup) and pureed consistency barium (1 tspn only) were administered. results follow: . oral phase: oral phase was most remarkable for moderately reduced bolus control resulting in premature spillover of nectar thick liquid to the valleculae and airway before the swallow. mild-moderate tongue weakness (specifically base of tongue) contributed to pharyngeal residue. oral transit time for individual swallows was wnl. . pharyngeal phase: swallow was initiated in a timely manner, however pt presented with severely reduced hyolaryngeal excursion, moderately reduced laryngeal valve closure, and near absent epiglottic deflection. pt had at least moderately reduced bolus propulsion and apparent edema near the level of the ues (in line with new cervical spinal hardware). deficits in combination with oral phase deficits resulted in moderate to severe vallecular and pyriform sinus residue after swallows per bolus. . aspiration/penetration: pt demonstrated penetration before and during the swallow which resulted in aspiration after the swallow with both nectar thick liquids and purees. pt had spontaneous throat clear which temporarily would improve the amount of aspiration or penetration, however it did not fully clear and thus the material would be re-aspirated. cued cough was also ineffective at fully eliminating aspirated material. . treatment techniques: pt benefits partially but not fully from spontaneous repeat swallows (5-6 per bite/sip) and cued swallow-cough-swallow maneuver. there is no strategy, however, which eliminates aspiration or pharyngeal residue. . summary: pt, currently pod # from anterior and posterior cervical spinal surgeries with hardware, demonstrates severe oropharyngeal dysphagia as described above most notable for reduced movement of the pharyngeal swallow mechanism and swelling at the level of the cervical hardware. deficits result in significant pharyngeal residue and aspiration across all consistencies assessed. based on the results of today's evaluation, he does not appear safe for po intake and should remain fully npo at this time including no dobbhoff today. given the length of time pt will require to recover from his current deficits and his propensity to self-d/c ngts despite our efforts otherwise, md team may wish to consider longer term means of nutritional support such as peg. if we can be of further assistance with discussion regarding plan of care, please contact us. otherwise, we will f/u in approximately 1 week's time for reassessment, if he remains at this facility. alternatively, pt could have swallow f/u in a rehab setting. . recommendations: 1. npo, no ice chips, no oral meds 2. q4 oral care while npo. 3. support non-oral means of nutrition, hydration, and medication 4. consider longer term means of non-oral nutrition. 5. repeat swallowing evaluation in 1 week's time. page/reconsult if we can be of further assistance prior to that f/u. 6. pt will benefit from intensive swallow therapy and cognitive-linguistic dx/tx in a rehab setting upon d/c. . ng tube placement : impression: successful placement of a nasointestinal tube into the post-pyloric position. the tube is ready to use. . ct head non contrast: there is no acute hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or acute major vascular territorial infarction. global, predominantly central parenchymal atrophy is likely age-related. periventricular white matter hypodensities are most likely the sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. there is minimal fluid in ethmoid air cells and frontal sinuses, bilaterally. the remainder of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear clear. surgical clips and post-surgical changes are noted in the scalp overlying the left occipital bone. impression: no acute intracranial abnormality. . cxr : findings: small retrocardiac opacity, could be atelectasis. there is no pneumonia. there is no pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. hilar, mediastinal, and cardiac silhouette are within normal limits. there is mild rightward scoliosis in the thoracic spine. anterior posterior cervical fusion at the lower c-spine. impression: 1. no pneumonia. 2. small retrocardiac opacity, could be atelectasis. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the spine surgery service on and taken to the operating room for a cervical fusion through an anterior approach c5-7. please refer to the dictated operative note for further details. the surgery was without complication and the patient was transferred to the pacu in stable condition. teds/pnemoboots were used for postoperative dvt prophylaxis. intravenous antibiotics were given per standard protocol. initial postop pain was controlled with a pca. post-operatively he was noticed to be confused and withdrawing from alcohol. he was transfered to the t/sicu for further management. on hd#3 he returned to the operating room for a scheduled posterior cervical fusion as part of a staged 2-part procedure. please refer to the dictated operative note for further details. the second surgery was also without complication and the patient returned to the t/sicu intubated. . he was subsequently extubated without difficulty but failed a speech and swallow likely secondary to soft tissue swelling from his surgeries. a dobhoff was placed and he was given tubefeeds. his further withdrawal symptoms were managed with ativan and valium. he pulled out his dobhoff tube on . he was transfered to the medical service for further management. . on the medical service, he failed a second speech and swallow evaluation on and another dobhoff tube was placed on . we started him on thiamine and a multivitamin and continued his folate. it was felt that his altered mental status was largely due to delirium and not alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, and we thus sought to minimize use of narcotics and benzodiazepines. . on , mr. an unfortunate fall to the floor as he was getting out of his chair. he had a ct scan of his head and complete spine, which showed no acute intracranial process and no fractures. an x-ray of his right elbow showed a tiny non-displaced fracture of his radial head. his right arm was put in a sling, and on discahrge was recommended for full of motion, non weight bearing, and sling for comfort. subsequently, he was kept with a 1:1 sitter until his transfer to an outside hospital. . the patient had several aspiration events associated with a brief desaturation and occasional fever. the differential for these fevers included aspiration pneumonitis vs. neuroleptic malignant syndrome. his cxrs did not demonstrate a consolidation and making pneumonia less likely although he certainally is at risk for developing a true aspiration pna. all psych meds were stopped due to concern of nms and he remained afebrile without leukocytosis throughout rest of hospital stay. while at hospital these psych meds should be restarted soon after arrival. he was re-evaluated by speech and swallow on and again failed a bedside speech and swallow exam. on he underwent a video swallow study that showed mild-moderate tongue weakness, near absent epiglottic deflection, and edema near the level of the ues in line with new cervical spinal hardware. these defects resulted in aspiration with both nectar thick liquids and purees. based on these results, it was recommended that patient be kept npo without oral meds. a dobhoff was placed for nutrition but he pulled it out the same day before it could be utilized for tube feeds. the next day, another dobhoff was attempted and patient was kept on restraints so as not to pull it out. tube feeds were started on . . given that he does not tolerate -gastric tube well, a more long-term means of non-oral nutrition should be pursued, possibly with a peg tube. we discussed the issue of the peg tube with the patient and his wife on . however, his wife expressed her desire for the patient to be transferred to center to be under the care of his primary care physician. patient should continue this discussion on a means for long-term nutrition at his outside hospital. if he is discharged to a rehab facility without a peg tube in place, he should continue to be kept npo until re-evaluation one week later with a repeat swallow study. he should receive intensive swallow therapy and cognitive-linguistic treatment in a rehab setting. he should also receive q4h oral care while npo. he also had episodes of oxygen desaturations to the high 80s that improved to the high 90s with both oxygen via nasal cannula and with suctioning of oral secretions. by discharge, his oxygen saturation was stable in the mid to high 90s on room air. please note: blood cultures were still pending on discharge. . of note, patient continued to show signs of sun-downing until the 2 days before transfer. delirium persisted despite the fact that he was ostensibly taken off all possible sedatives, including benzos and his psychiatric medications. patient periodically agitated, often requiring restraints. he was combative off restraints and received one dose of 5mg zyprexa im which did not alleviate symptoms. psych consult was obtained to evaluate and recommended starting 1mg haldol standing and 1mg qhs prn on . qtc was mildly prolonged to 455 and thus he was changed to liquid haldol. his psych meds were so far in the hospitalization but citalopram was started at low dose and should be titrated up. patient's mental status improved after the haldol; he was alert and oriented x 3 the next morning . cxr, ua, and blood cx were unremarkable. tsh, b12, folate, and rpr were checked as part of delirium work up and were pending on discharge. . however, throughout the day, he became more somnolent and lethargic, out of proportion to the amount of haloperidol he was receiving. a urine toxicology returned on positive for benzos in the urine which had been discontinued since . it is unclear why he had benzos in the urine at that time. blood toxicology was negative. of note mrs. was updated daily by several members of the medical team including dr. (attending), dr. (pgy3), and dr. (pgy1). she repeatedly expressed concern that we were not caring for her husband well. was transferred to hospital on per the wishes of his wife. medications on admission: lantus 12 units metformin

bones in your forearm), and you were given a sling. it was not possible to tell the age of that fracture. . you were very confused at the hospital and psychiatry was consulted. you are now on haldol. your confusion is getting better. . you also showed symptoms of alcohol withdrawal which was treated with medications. you should abstain from alcohol in the future. you also had some confusion due to sedating medications which slowly improved. you had some fevers that were thought to be due to neuroleptic malignant syndrome (in which patients develop high temperatures due to psychiatric medications) or aspiration pneumonia. however, your chest x ray was clear, making pneumonia less likely. your fevers resolved when your psychiatric medications were stopped, your psych medications will be restarted after transfer to your new hospital but they may be restarted slowly. we started your citalopram at a low dose on . . you had persistent difficulty with swallowing, as shown by several swallowing tests in the hospital. as a result of your swallowing difficulties, you like aspirated while in the hospital. we tried to give you nutrition through a tube that goes through your nose into your stomach but you pulled it out several times. you will likely need a more long-term source of nutrition such as a peg tube, which is a tube that goes into your stomach and attaches to the outside. you will be transferred to an outside hospital as you and your family requested. there, this issue of the feeding tube should be addressed further. for now you have a tube through your

consolidation highly concerning for aspiration or infection. there is also evidence of interstitial pulmonary edema that might obscure additional foci of infection. evaluation of the patient after diuresis is recommended as well as addressing the right lower lobe consolidation again that might represent either aspiration or pneumonia. no pneumothorax is seen. no appreciable pleural effusion is seen. ruq u/s : impression: heterogeneous echogenic liver, consistent with hepatotoxicity. cxr : findings: cardiac silhouette is upper limits of normal in size. pulmonary vascular engorgement is accompanied by perihilar haziness, as well as worsening confluent opacities within the lower lobes. although the findings may all be attributed to pulmonary edema related to acetaminophen overdose, coexisting aspiration is possible. cxr : impression: 1. standard position of right picc at the cavoatrial junction. 2. stable moderate bilateral pleural effusions and mild pulmonary edema. 3. unchanged confluent basilar consolidations. given the clinical history, pneumonia is possible, though atelectasis and aspiration also within the differential. cxr : new consolidation in the right upper lobe is most likely pneumonia. bibasilar consolidation has not cleared since it was first imaged on and a mild pulmonary edema and moderate bilateral pleural effusions worsened slightly. mild enlargement of the heart and/or pericardial effusion is stable. dr. was paged to report these findings at the time of dictation. tte : the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5 mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. cxr : there are low inspiratory volumes. there is upper zone redistribution and diffuse vascular blurring, consistent with chf. there is more confluent opacity in the right perihilar area. in addition, at the lung bases, there is bibasilar patchy opacity consistent with collapse and/or consolidation. small effusions cannot be excluded. a right-sided picc line is present, the tip is poorly visualized but likely overlies the proximal/mid svc. compared with at 2048 p.m., the findings are similar, allowing for differences in technique. radiology ct abdomen w/o contrast 1. no ct evidence of pancreatitis. 2. patchy bibasilar consolidation and ground-glass is concerning for ards, but could represent infection, aspiration, hemorrhage or edema. 3. small bilateral pleural effusions. radiology cta chest w&w/o c&recon 1. no evidence of pe. 2. bilateral ground-glass opacities involving all lobes. in combination with right hilar lymphadenopathy this is concerning for atypical pneumonia. differential diagnosis includes asymmetric pulmonary edema, aspiration, or ards. discharge labs: 05:14am blood wbc-5.5 rbc-2.39* hgb-7.8* hct-24.0* mcv-100* mch-32.5* mchc-32.4

taking tylenol and roxicet for pain and developed nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. on presentation to the outside hospital she was found to be an acute liver failure with lfts in the 7000s, and inr=3.8. she was transferred to the surgical icu where she was followed by the transplant team. she was started on nac and her lfts, inr, and cr continued to improve before being transferred to the medical floor. . acute liver failure - patient had elevated lfts and inr on arrival to the floor. she was continued on the nac drip until her inr dropped to 1.5 at which time it stopped. her lfts continued to downtrend. her ruq u/s showed no other possible causes of her liver failure and a full blood hepatitis serologies showed immunity to hav, hbv, and no exposure to hcv. . acute renal failure- likely secondary to direct acetaminophen toxicity. her cr peaked at 2.2. her fena was indicative of intrinsic renal failure. she was continued on iv hydration while she had poor po intake, and her cr improved to 1.2 on day of discharge. . pancreatitis- she was complaining of worsening abdominal pain as her diet was advanced, she complained of epigastric pain. her lipase was newly elevated and she was maintained on a clear diet and slowly advanced as her pain medication requirements decreased. this was also likely due to her acteaminophen toxicity. pt was tolerating solid food with mild-moderate nausea and pain on day of discharge. . tachypnea, tachycardia- pt had respiratory distress during part of her admission, but it was initially unclear if her symptoms were due to an asthma exacerbation, pneumonia, excessive volume resuscitation in the icu, or possibly pe. a cxr on demonstrated a new consolidation in rul, and with her fevers, there was a concern for hcap. treatment was begun with vanc and pip/tazo on . d-dimer drawn on was elevated at 2885 but pt has several other possible causes for this including active infection, pancreatitis, etc. pt had cta chest on to r/o pe given pt's continued o2 requirement and tachypnea on antibiotics, but prelim read did not show any evidence of pe. did demonstrate bilateral ground glass opacities. pt reported significant improvement in her breathing after ~4.7 l net diuresis on , so it was likely due to hypervolemia. pt no longer had o2 requirement by . however, she remains anemic despite her diuresis, which may be contributing to her symptoms. a repeat cxr on showed near complete resolution of diffuse pulmonary opacities and bilateral pleural effusions. the rapidity of clearance suggests that the majority of disease was secondary to pulmonary edema. however, given the initial concern for possible rul pneumonia and her prior numerous episodes of vomiting, and her intermittent fevers, pt was transitioned to oral levofloxacin and metronidazole, which were continued on discharge as an outpatient for a total of 8 day course for possible hcap / aspiration pneumonia. # bacteremia: 2/2 blood culture bottles (aerobic and anaerobic) from are growing coag neg staph, however the other 2 bottles from and all other blood cultures have been negative. this suggests a contaminant, an no other blood cultures have shown any growth. . # rul pneumonia: not clearly seen on ct. pt was treated w/ vanc/zosyn for hcap (day 1 = ), then switched to po levofloxacin and metronidazole (to cover for aspiration pna given plentiful vomiting) on , which will be continued until for 8 day course for hcap / aspiration pneumonia. the reported opacity on cxr was completely clear on , so it may have been due to pulmonary edema. . # pleural effusions: patient has persistent moderate pleural effusions of unclear etiology, though may be related to pneumonia, liver disease, or pancreatitis. tte negative for heart failure. pt was initially diuresed with furosemide 10mg iv and had large volume diuresis. pt then continued to have large volume diuresis on her own, which suggests that this was most likely due to very aggressive fluid resuscitation during her icu stay, perhaps in combination with her acute renal failure. pt did not have any oxygen requirement on discharge and reported that her respiratory status had returned to baseline. . # anemia: hct was in the 30s on admission and now down to 21; borderline macrocytic, most likely from reticulocytosis. pt had no obvious gi bleeds, and stool is guiac neg. reticulocyte count, ldh, and haptoglobin were normal. her anemia is thought to be due to direct effects of acetaminophen on marrow or indirect via kidneys. pt will need to have her hct rechecked in weeks to document recovery and improvement. . # depression: the patient was followed by psychiatry as she had overdosed on tylenol. they felt that it was not likely an intentional overdose and she did not require being sectioned or having a 1:1 sitter. however given her history of depression they were concerned about her mood and wished for her to go to an inpatient psychiatry unit (voluntarily) which she declined, in favor of a partial program, which we have arranged as an outpatient. transitional issues: -pt needs follow-up hct and cr in wks to document recovery. -pt

tylenol. you were also found to have kidney injury and pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas). we treated this with medications and your liver function, kidney function, and pancreatic function are all improving. you had shortness of breath and leg swelling, which greatly improved when we gave you medication to eliminate much of the excess fluid that you were given in the icu. you were also found to have a pneumonia, which we are treating with antibiotics. although you continued to low-level fevers, we feel that this is most likely due to the inflammation that many organs of your body suffered from the tylenol. your blood cultures and urine cultures have only grown contaminants, and your latest cultures have not shown any growth at all. at the time of discharge, you were tolerating normal food, and your pain and nausea were controlled. . we made the following changes to your medications: -stop tylenol (acetaminophen) -stop roxicet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) -stop

however, that night she became acutely dyspneic and desaturated. she underwent repeat bronchoscopy, and it was found that the trach was again abutting the area of tracheomalacia. it was further advanced, and she had no additional problems with the trach or desaturation. she received anesthesia with fentanyl and versed during this procedure, which caused her blood pressure to drop. she was given 1.5l of ns bolus. after the sedation was lifted her blood pressure normalized. it remained normal for the following 36hours prior to transfer to the rehab facility. her nif was checked and was noted to be 6. she had completed treatment for pneumonia while at hospital. additionally we attempted ot increase her diltiazem dose from 30mg qid to 60mg qid to improved rate control for her afib. this likely contributed to her relative hypotension, and the dose was returned to 30mg qid prior ot discharge which she tolerated well. . # chf: ef 25-35%. diuresis failed on the first night but was successful on the second day of admission. she will continue on standing lasix for continued diuresis. she is not on a beta-blocker or ace inhibitor. chf management is also complicated by history of critical aortic stenosis. . # afib: she is rate controlled on diltiazem and digoxin. she is anticoagulated with warfarin; however, this was held while procedures were being administered. she had received 5mg warfarin on at hospital. she was bridged with lovenox 60mg while here. despite this, her inr continued to rise, so warfarin was not restarted given concern that she would become supratherapeutic. once her inr is decreasing, warfarin should be restarted at a dose of 2-3mg qhs. goal inr is . once therapeutic, lovenox can be discontinued. her digoxin level was therapeutic at 1.0. . # h/o dvt: filter is in place. anticoagulation as per discussion above . # dispo: she was discharged to rehab for continued ventilatory management with 11.0cm in place. she is on tubefeeds, osmolyte or probalance at 55cc/hr. she is a full code. communication is with the patient and her daughter. medications on admission: meds on transfer: ativan 0.5mg q4hr prn morphine 1mg q2hr prn calcium carbonate 1250mg vitamin d 400units coumadin dosed daily mesalamine 500mg pr tid diltiazem 30mg q6hr prevacid 30mg colace 100mg senna 2tabs qhs nystatin powder multivitamin daily digoxin 0.125mg daily synthroid 175mcg daily simethicone 80mg acidophilus 1wafer tid zelnorm 6mg lovenox 60mg q12hr insulin sliding scale nph 9units qam, 9units qpm lasix 80mg daily combivent 8puffs q6hr flovent 110mcg 2puffs q4hr olopatadine 0.1% one gtt ou q12hr discharge medications: 1. albuterol-ipratropium 103-18 mcg/actuation aerosol : eight (8) puff inhalation q1h (every hour). 2. calcium carbonate 500 mg (1,250 mg) tablet : one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 3. cholecalciferol (vitamin d3) 400 unit tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 4. mesalamine 1,000 mg suppository : one (1) suppository rectal tid (3 times a day). 5. lansoprazole 30 mg tablet,rapid dissolve, dr : one (1) tablet,rapid dissolve, dr po bid (2 times a day). 6. docusate sodium 50 mg/5 ml liquid : one (1) po bid (2 times a day). 7. senna 8.6 mg tablet : 1-2 tablets po hs (at bedtime). 8. miconazole nitrate 2 % powder : one (1) appl topical qid (4 times a day) as needed. 9. hexavitamin tablet : one (1) cap po daily (daily). 10. digoxin 125 mcg tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 11. levothyroxine 175 mcg tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 12. simethicone 80 mg tablet, chewable : one (1) tablet, chewable po tid (3 times a day) as needed. 13. tegaserod hydrogen maleate 6 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 14. insulin nph human recomb 100 unit/ml cartridge : one (1) as per instructions below subcutaneous twice a day: 9 units qam and 9 units q bedtime. 15. fluticasone 110 mcg/actuation aerosol : two (2) puff inhalation (2 times a day). 16. naphazoline-pheniramine 0.025-0.3 % drops : one (1) drop ophthalmic (2 times a day). 17. acetaminophen 160 mg/5 ml solution : po q4-6h (every 4 to 6 hours) as needed for pain. 18. diltiazem hcl 30 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po qid (4 times a day). 19. lidocaine hcl 1 % solution : one (1) ml injection qid (4 times a day) as needed. 20. sodium chloride 0.9% flush 3 ml iv daily:prn peripheral iv - inspect site every shift 21. ativan 1 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po q2-4 hours prn. 22. coumadin 2.5 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po once a day: start once inr trends down. was 2.4 on day of discharge (). 23. morphine sulfate 1-2 mg iv q2h:prn pain 24. lasix 40 mg tablet : three (3) tablet po twice a day. discharge disposition: extended care facility: & rehab center - discharge diagnosis: primary: dyspnea secondary to tracheostomy . secondary: atrial fibrillation chf htn critical as dvts discharge condition: fair discharge instructions: you were admitted from an outside hospital for revision of your tracheostomy. you tolerated this procedure well. . take all medications as prescribed. . seek medical attention immediately if you experience new symptoms including shortness of breath, chest pain, decreased urine output, wheezing or other concerning symptoms. . follow up at rehab with the doctors . you will slowly be weaned as tolerated from the ventillator. followup instructions: , n please call pcp to arrange follow up. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances bronchoscopy through artificial stoma bronchoscopy through artificial stoma replacement of tracheostomy tube diagnoses: unspecified essential hypertension asthma, unspecified type, unspecified personal history of malignant neoplasm of breast rheumatic heart failure (congestive) acute respiratory failure hypotension, unspecified long-term (current) use of anticoagulants mitral valve insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis secondary malignant neoplasm of lung ulcerative colitis, unspecified other diseases of trachea and bronchus personal history of malignant neoplasm of thyroid mechanical complication of tracheostomy Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

course: the patient was admitted to the micu and was transfused 2 units of prbs's. post-transfusion hematocrit remained stable around 30. a ct scan was obtained on hospital day #2, which showed a small-to-moderate amount of high density fluid which most likely represented blood around the liver and the spleen and the right kidney, with adjacent perinephric fluid/hematoma. the origin of bleeding was not definitively identified, but bleeding could potentially have been arising in the kidney given the history of recent renal surgery and history of hematuria. no active extravasation was identified. the patient was hemodynamically stable throughout his stay in the micu, and was transferred to the floor on hd#2. a repeat ct on hospital day #3 showed no active changes from the previous scan. on hd#4, the patient appeared more distended, though he continued to pass flatus. a kub was obtained, which showed no signs of obstruction. an mri urogram was also obtained, which showed stable blood around the right kidney, extending into the peritoneum and a blood clot within the right renal pelvis. the patient continued to remain stable with a hematocrit holing steady around 30 and a

artery history of present illness: mr. is a 67-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cad, s/p mi and multiple pcis. his most recent cardiac catheterization was on where he was found to have a 40% lesion in his lmca, a 50% stenosis in the proximal lad, and a 100% stenosis in the om2. the rca was known to be occluded and not engaged. his stents were patent. . of note, he began using nitroglycerin tablets about a month ago. this helped his chest pain which usually last about 10mins. the cp usually occurs one hour after he eats. he reports that the nitroglycerin used to work within 5 secs and now after a month of use, the ng start to work after a minute. the cp also increased in intensity from previously to about . chest pain is substernal without any radiation. prior to the month, he did not use ng and suffered through the cp - usually waiting for it to pass by resting. he used to be able to finish a golf game by taking frequent rest on the golf cart. during his previous admission earlier this year, he deferred cabg due to the fact that it did not fit with his schedule. . he presented to ed with complaints of chest discomfort on and off all night. apparently he would take a nitroglycerin and the pain would resolve for approximately 30 minutes then return. he did not tell his wife who is a rn at because he didn't want her to call ems. on the morning of admission, he was diaphoretic and she asked what was the matter. he told her he had been having chest discomfort all night and taken a total of 8 nitroglycerin. he presented to the ed at 9:30 am this morning pain free with a blood pressure of 181/105 (question nitroglycerin outdated). he was given an inch of nitropaste and his b/p is now 132/75, hr 69. dr. has requested patient be transferred for cardiac catheterization. his first troponin is 0.18, his finger stick was 279 but he was not given any coverage because he took his am hypoglycemics. . on review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke, tia, 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. he denies exertional buttock or calf pain. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of systems is notable for chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. negative for paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema, palpitations, syncope or presyncope. past medical history: past medical history: 1. cardiac risk

coronary angiography in this right dominant system demonstrated three vessel disease. the lmca had a distal 20% stenosis. the lad had a proximal 70% stenosis that extended from the lmca to the proximal edge of the cypher stent placed in . the lcx had mild diffuse plaquing associated with a 30% stenosis proximal to the mid-lcx stents after om2. the om1 had a 20% stenosis at its origin. the lcx provided collaterals to a long right posterolateral branch. the rca was moderately calcified and had a 70% proximal-mid stenosis, a 90% mid stenosis, and a distal occlusions with right-right collaterals filling a small pda and posterolateral branches. echo : the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (lvef>55%). there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with mild hypokinesis of the basal inferior and infero-lateral segments. there is no ventricular septal defect. 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. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad. carotid ultrasound : 1. 70-79% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. 2.

previous stent that was unamenable to another stent intervention - see result section for further details. cardiac surgery was therefore consulted and further preoperative evaluation was performed. carotid ultrasound revealed moderate-to-severe disease in the bilateral internal carotid arteries. given the findings, neurology was consulted and cta was obtained - see result section for details. given that he was asymptomatic, with no prior history of stroke, it was recommended to proceed with coronary surgical revascularization. it is recommended to stay on aspirin and plavix, and would favor revascularizing one of his carotid arteries in the future(most likely carotid stenting). preoperative evaluation was also notable for incidental findings of pulmonary nodules for which 6 month follow up with dr. is recommended. he was also seen by a dentist pre-operatively and it was recommended that he continue on clindamycin as an outpatient post-surgically until he is able to have a chipped tooth extracted. on he underwent a coronary artery bypass grafting times four performed by dr. . please see the operative note for details. he tolerated this procedure well and was transferred in critical but stable condition to the surgical intensive care unit. within 24 hours, he awoke neurologically intact and was quickly extubated and weaned from his pressors without incident. by the following day he was transferred to the surgical step-down floor. his chest tubes and epicardial wires were removed without complication. his beta-blockade was titrated up as tolerated and he was gently diuresed. he remained in a normal sinus rhythm without atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. given his carotid disease and prior coronary stents, he should remain on aspirin and plavix. he should continue on clindamycin for possible tooth abscess until tooth extraction is performed. prior to discharge, he was started on zoloft per psychiatry for experiencing significant pain and recalling that he was awake during his operation. the remainder of his postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharge to home on postoperative day four. medications on admission: medications: plavix 75 mg

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: levaquin attending: chief complaint: decreased responsiveness major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: ms. is an 82 year old female with history of remote breast ca, alcoholic cirrhosis, s/p avr who was last seen in normal health at 7pm on the evenig prior to admission. on the morning of admission, the patient was found by her roommate slumped over, fully dressed in bed. the patient is reported by ems records to have been supine in bed, awake, but unresponsive to verbal or painful stimuli, additionally noted to be incontinent of urine and feces. when ems arrived patient's vitals were 110/64 86 100% ra, unclear rr. the patient was initially sent to hospital where she was intubated for airway protection. abg prior to intubation was 7.42/27/370 on a nrb. per report the patient was vomiting prior to arrival and prior to intubation. the patient had a ct head which revealed no acute process and had a normal cxr. given history of distant breast ca a cta was performed which revealed no evidence of pe or metastatic disease but did reveal a cirrhotic appearing liver and small ascites on abdominal cuts. the patient had a tox screen which was normal. . per discussion with the patient's family she has been generally in her usual state of health. she has had a few recent med changes including increase in her xanax dosing from once daily to three times daily approximately 2-3 weeks ago. she has no known history of seizure disorder or large stroke although has had history of microvascular disease. she has not had episodes of hepatic encephalopathy previously, is not currently maintained on lactulose. . ed course: the patient was maintained on propofol, reported to be waking up off sedation. the patient was

admission ecg: normal sinus rhythm with right bundle-branch block and occasional premature ventricular contractions. non-specific st-t wave abnormalities. no previous tracing available for comparison. . admission chest ct: ct of the chest with iv contrast: an endotracheal tube is seen with the tip at 4.5 cm above the carina. an ng tube is also seen with the tip within the stomach. breathing artifact degrades the quality of the study. the heart is enlarged. the pulmonary artery is normal in size. ascending aortic graft is seen with no complication noted. there are no filling defects within the main pulmonary artery to the segmental and larger subsegmental branches to suggest pulmonary embolism. however, evaluation of the subsegmental branches is limited due to respiratory motion artifact. atherosclerotic calcifications within the aorta. small left- sided pleural effusion with associated compressive atelectasis. the patient is status post right mastectomy. there is suggestion of chronic sternal dehiscense. there is no mediastinal, hilar, or axillary lymphadenopathy. small 12mm x 8mm focal density is within the central left breast. this study is not designed for the evaluation of the abdomen, however, the visualized portions of the upper abdomen demonstrate a cirrhotic liver, ascites, borderline enlarged spleen and collateral circulation. tiny granuloma is seen within the spleen. bone windows: no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions. impression: 1. limited study without evidence of central and segmental pe. 2. small left-sided pleural effusion with associated atelectasis. 3. cirrhotic liver, splenomegaly, and ascites, incompletely evaluated. 4. small mass within the left breast, correlate with recent mammogram, if obtained. else the pateint would need a formal diagnostic mamogram to evaluate this lesion further. . admission mr : technique: t1 sagittal and axial and flair t2 susceptibility and diffusion axial images of the brain were obtained before gadolinium. t1 axial, sagittal and coronal images were obtained following gadolinium. there are no prior examinations for comparison. findings: diffusion images demonstrate subtle area of slow diffusion involving both thalami. no cortical infarcts are identified. pre-gadolinium t1 images demonstrate hyperintensities involving the basal ganglia, predominantly the globus pallidus and putamen, but also involvement of the upper brainstem. multiple small foci of t2 hyperintensity indicative of mild- to-moderate changes of small vessel disease also identified. following gadolinium, no abnormal parenchymal, vascular, or meningeal enhancement seen. there is a fluid level in the left maxillary sinus. impression: 1. subtle slow diffusion identified in both thalami could be secondary to global hypoxic event. clinical correlation recommended. if indicated, a followup examination can help for further assessment. 2. increased t1 pre-gadolinium signal in basal ganglia could be secondary to hepatic insufficiency. 3. no enhancing brain lesions. 4. mild-to-moderate changes of small vessel disease. brief hospital course: ms. is an 82 year old female admitted with decreased responsiveness ultimately attributed to non-convulsive status epilepticus. . #. decreased responsiveness: the exact cause of the pt's unresponsiveness and seizure activity remained unclear. there was some evidence on brain mr of changes associated with hypoxia. it was unclear whether these may have triggered the seizures or been a result of them; there was no obvious inciting event to cause respiratory failure. the pt was intubated at an outside hospital for airway protection and transferred to the micu at . a wide differential was considered however extensive laboratory testing was largely un revealing. the pt was seen and followed by the neurology service who made the diagnosis of non-convulsive status epilepticus via serial eeg. she was started on dilantin. ***at the time of discharge, it was advised that the pt should be transitioned from dilantin to keppra. per the neurology service, this should happen as follows: dilantin was being given at 100 mg tid at discharge. this should be weaned by 100 mg a day over the next three to four days. thus, on sunday, , would advise 100 mg of dilantin. on the day of discharge, keppra was started at 500 mg . this should be increased by 500 mg daily over the next three to four days to a total dose of 1500 mg .*** if the pt experiences an acute mental status change in the future, consideration should be given to repeat seizure. the pt also continues to be treated with lactulose in case hepatic encephalopathy was contributing her condition. it is expected that this can likely be discontinued in the next 1 to 2 weeks if the pt remains stable. . #. chf: the pt is thought to carry a diagnosis of chf based on her home medications, although there was limited data available in the system. she was thought to be mildly volume up at admission and was started on low-dose lasix; after this, she appeared clinically euvolemic throughout her course. the pt's home coreg continued. her home digoxin was held; this can likely be restarted in the near future. . #. cirrhosis: the pt has a history of etoh cirrhosis. her most recent inr is 1.3. her cirrhosis did not appear to be contributing to her clinical picture during her admission. . #. s/p avr: bioprosthetic, not on anticoagulation as outpatient. . # contact: : daughter: medications on admission: digoxin .125mg daily coreg 3.125mg remeron 30mg qhs duloxetine 30mg daily xanax .25mg po tid

the patient was cleared by urology for surgery in the setting of recent turp and hematuria. he underwent and completed the usual routine pre-op work-up. he did receive plavix and surgery was held to allow for appropriate washout of plavix. he does have a h/o atrial fibrillation and was maintained on heparin preoperatively. mr. was brought to the operating room on where he underwent off-pump cabg x 3 with dr. . see operative report for full details. overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the cvicu in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. the patient initially required inotropic and vasopressor support with numerous vasoactive drips. tee on pod 1 revealed ef 20%, inferior and lateral wall hypokinesis as well as anterior wall motion abnormality. the patient developed fever on pod 1 and was pan-cultured. fluconazole was started for yeast in urine. tube feeds were initiated. platelet count would drop to 53,000, hit screen was sent and patient was started on angiomax, as suspicion for hitt was high. hit screen would return negative, and heparin was started. the patient did develop acute kidney injury with rise in serum creatinine to 1.6 (from baseline 0.8) and oliguria. this was monitored closely and would resolve with return to baseline creatinine. the patient was extubated on pod 7, and quickly developed respiratory distress with rising pa pressures. he was reintubated without complication. kefzol was started for sternal drainage, which resolved. beta blocker was initiated and the patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without complication. the patient remained in respiratory failure and did undergo tracheostomy and peg placement on . coumadin started on for atrial fibrillation and history of strokes. vre grew from urine and he was started on a course of linezolid on . he was transferred to the step-down floor on and tolerating passy-muir valve trials. over the next week he continued to received medical management. he worked with physical therapy for strength and mobility. he underwent routine swallow therapy. he had no further setbacks and was discharged on to rehab with the appropriate medications and follow-up appointments. he will continue coumadin for atrial fibrillation and will need follow-up set-up by rehab upon discharge from there. medications on admission: at home: nifedipine 30mg daily, spiriva, simbicort, coumadin, mvi, lovenox, ciprofloxacin discharge medications: 1. atorvastatin 20 mg tablet

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is an 82-year-old female with sjogren syndrome and history of temporal arteritis on steroids who was recently discharged to a rehabilitation facility after a prolonged stay after a lower gi bleed from diverticulosis. she presented to the surgery service where she was admitted and treated with percutaneous drainage and iv antibiotics. she was also treated for her adrenal insufficiency and ultimately required transfer in a prolonged sicu stay. past medical history: acute renal failure with current right internal jugular tunneled hemodialysis catheter. right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. gastrointestinal bleed. diverticulosis. sjogren syndrome. question of vasculitis. bilateral pleural effusions, pericardial effusion. raynaud's. cryoglobulinemia. papillary neoplasm. renal cyst. hypertension. hyperlipidemia. anemia. history of congestive heart failure and volume overload. hyponatremia. hypoalbuminemia. peripheral neuropathy. paget disease. secondary hyperparathyroidism. thrombocytopenia. hematuria. past surgical history: exploratory laparotomy . allergies: penicillin. medications on admission: 1. folate. 2. neurontin. 3. dilantin. 4. isosorbide dinitrate 40 q.i.d. 5. bactrim. 6. zantac. 7. coumadin. 8. lasix 80 b.i.d. 9. lopressor 75 b.i.d. 10. clonidine 0.2 b.i.d. 11. lasix 80 b.i.d. 12. diltiazem sr 360 daily. 13. lansoprazole 30 daily. 14. heparin 5,000 units subcutaneously t.i.d. 15. prednisone 20 mg per g tube daily. 16. lactulose 30 daily. 17. regular insulin-sliding scale. social history: patient lives at home with an 83-year-old sister, but on this past admission and from prior has been admitted to a rehabilitation facility. no current smoking or alcohol use. family history: noncontributory. initial physical : patient was well-appearing in no apparent distress. chest was clear to auscultation anteriorly bilaterally. heart: regular rate and rhythm. abdomen was soft, benign, no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities: warm, slight edema. neurologically: equal strength bilaterally. brief hospital course by system: neurologically: the patient did have some altered mental status. this was thought secondary to possible ic psychosis and at the time of discharge, is relatively clear, although is still ventilator dependent. cardiovascular: given her history of hypertension, she was maintained on labetalol and norvasc. her labetalol dose was slowly cut back to allow for greater overall perfusion, which she tolerated well. she remained hemodynamically stable through most of her hospital course. respiratory: due to her grave illnesses and pelvic abscesses, she did require transfer to the icu mostly for hemoptysis. bronchoscopy was performed, and she had bilateral chest tubes placed for pneumothoraces. these, however, drained a significant amount between a liter and 1500 cc of fluid per day. she was then followed serially by the thoracic surgery service who performed talc pleurodesis. this seemed to hold and at the time of this dictation, has no pneumothorax on her chest, but does have some bibasilar atelectasis. gi: of note, the patient's lfts had complete rise. more specifically, her alkaline phosphatase. on several examinations, this was actually coming down. her right upper quadrant ultrasound performed showed no significant abnormalities. gu: of note, the patient did experience some hyponatremia and hyperkalemia during her hospitalization. renal consult was called, and recommendations were made for electrolyte adjustment. she did have hyponatremia associated with her hyperkalemia and had been diuresed after that point most recently with only small doses of lasix given appearance of chf on recent chest x-rays. however, there was thought that she was somewhat hypovolemic and did require some fluid boluses of normal saline and close monitoring of her electrolytes. fen: her tube feeds were advanced after she was out of the acute phase and because of her electrolyte abnormalities, was maintained on strength nepro with a goal of 45 cc or should she be able to advance to full strength, then her rate would be 60 cc per hour. of note, the patient was on tpn for sometime and developed cholestasis with an elevated alkaline phosphatase of around 1,100. she was started on actigall with significant improvement in her alkaline phosphatase. remainder of her lfts were within normal limits and her right upper quadrant ultrasound did not show cholecystitis or choledocholithiasis. we continued to follow this level closely. she was maintained on prevacid and carafate for anti- ulcer prophylaxis. fluid, electrolytes, and nutrition: as forementioned, the patient was kept on tube feeds. she did have some electrolyte abnormalities approximately 72 hours before her transfer. however, these serial checks were normalizing and she was asymptomatic. id: she was on multiple antibiotics given her pelvic abscesses. however, she eventually developed clostridium difficile infection. this was treated with oral flagyl and quarantine precautions. her treatment was transitioned to oral vancomycin for the time course while she was on antibiotics and this was eventually tapered on a daily, then every other day schedule to off. however, of note in the week before her transfer to rehab, she did have significant increase in her white blood cell count and pancultures were sent. her stool at that point had cleared her clostridium difficile infection. however, she grew serratia marcescens from her urine which was resistant to the fluoroquinolones, which she had been treated with. she was then switched to cefepime, which she tolerated without incident. endocrine: she initially required a stress-dose steroid and was on iv hydrocortisone. however, her being able to tolerate orals and be hemodynamically stable, she was then transferred to oral prednisone at a dose of 20 mg via her g tube daily, which is her maintenance dose. heme: she had a significant anemia. she did require some transfusion and was started on erythropoietin with reasonable success. tubes, lines, and drains: the patient had a right internal jugular quinton catheter and a central venous line. she also had chest tubes that had been removed the week prior by thoracic surgery. respiratory: as the patient at about 2 or 3 weeks prior to transfer to rehab, had actually done quite well off ventilator support. however, after about 20 hours, she did require ventilator support and subsequent to that has tolerated only 1-2 hour increments on tracheostomy collar. however, the goal is to eventually wean her completely. discharge status: the patient will be discharged to rehabilitation facility for further vent weaning. her nutritional status was quite compromised and at the time of this dictation, a transferrin level was pending. discharge instructions: tube feeds to consist of strength nepro at 45 cc per hour. the patient's feeding weight is 60 kg, which would translate to a full-strength tube feeding rate of 60 cc per hour. she is to receive local wound care to a sacral and back decubitus ulcer. she is also to receive standard tracheostomy care. the patient is to followup with dr. in approximately 2 weeks after discharge from rehabilitation facility. the patient should have weekly nutrition labs checked including prealbumin and transferrin. discharge medications: 1. epogen 8,000 units subcutaneously every monday, wednesday, friday. 2. labetalol 400 mg by g tube t.i.d. 3. atrovent 2 puffs q.i.d. 4. prednisone

Medical Report: allergies: benzodiazepines attending: chief complaint: shortness of breath, red hands and feet major surgical or invasive procedure: endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, right ij central line placed, tracheostomy tube placed in or history of present illness: ms. is a 73yo woman with h/o als who presents with 3 weeks of redness in her hands and feet as well as more recent difficulty breathing. the patient had not complained of dyspnea and her husband had noted tachypnea or respiratory distress but per her husband she went to her doctor today, who noted that she was "not breathing well" and sent her to the er where she was hypoxic in the 80s, responding well to o2 by nc. she was then found to have an abg of 7.19/126/525/51 and was started on bipap. she did not tolerate the non-invasive mask ventilation despite sedateion (versed 2mg, and fentanyl 100mg). she experienced a reduction of blood pressure to 66/30, and was subsequently intubated. per husband, the patient has had als for three years. she performs adls on her own but has had trouble with speech as well as with keeping her mouth closed at baseline. she has not had any respiratory complaints. she had previously lost 40 pounds but last year was given a gtube and since then has gained back 14 pounds. husband states that prior to the last 3 weeks she was in her usoh, and denies any new symptoms including cough, sputum, no sick contacts. she is entirely npo and has been for about a year. cxr in the er showed no acute cp process and ua was negative for signs of infection. per the pt's husband they have never had any sort of conversation regarding code status. the patinet did try bipap in the past but was unable to tolerate it, but her outpatient neurologist has never mentioned intubation or tracheostomy. mr. states that these are all new thoughts for him and he's not entirely certain what his wife would want at this point. she was transferred to the , and she was started on

the left ventricular cavity size is normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). 3. right ventricular chamber size is normal. 4.the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. no aortic regurgitation is seen. 5.the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no mitral regurgitation is seen. 6.there is no pericardial effusion. . ekg: sinus rhythm. slight st segment elevation in leads ii, iii and avf which may represent active inferior ischemic process. followup and clinical correlation are suggested. no previous tracing available for comparison . ekg: atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response, rate 160. non-specific repolarization changes. compared to the previous tracing of normal sinus rhythm with abbreviated p-r interval has given way to atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response . cxr: there continues to be dense opacification in the retrocardiac region consistent with left lower lobe collapse and a small left effusion. there are some patchy areas of increased opacity in the right lower lung and left mid lung that may represent early infiltrate or volume loss. there is no significant change compared to the film from two days ago. the right subclavian line is unchanged. . renal us: mildly echogenic but otherwise normal-appearing kidneys may be secondary to medical renal disease. 1.1 x 0.9 cm echogenic focus in the left kidney may represent a cholesterol deposit versus a nonobstructing kidney stone. brief hospital course: # hypercarbic resp failure: this was felt to be likely als induced muscular weakness combined with possible acute pna given lll consolidation on cxr. she was intubated for repiratory failure, and treated for a possible pneumonia. she was not able to tolerate weaning off the ventilator, and therefore required tracheostomy for longer term ventilator support. while awaiting trach placement, ms. also developed a ventilator associated pneumonia. she grew mrsa in her sputum and blood, and was treated with a course of vancomycin. zosyn was added after 5 days of vancomycin as she had repeated l lung collapse with thick mucous plugging, and we wanted to cover for pneumonia as well. subsequent surveillance cultures were clean. zosyn was later switched to cefepime worsening renal failure attributed to zosyn. she completed an 8 day course of antibiotics. her tracheostomy went well, and she was started on an in/exsufflator as well to aid in clearing her secretions/mucous to prevent recurrent lung colapse. . # a fib: ms. had several episodes of atrial fibrillation with rvr, all in the setting of l lung collapse. she was initially started on a beta blocker with good response. after having multiple episodes she was started on amiodarone and anticoagulation with heparin. in all cases she converted to sinus rhythm on her own. shortly after starting heparin, she had an episode of guaiac positive stool, and then a small amount of melena. her heparin was stopped, and was not restarted as she remained in sinus rhythm, and the concern was that her risk of gi bleeding is higher than her risk of stroke. her peg was lavaged, and was ob negative. she will also need a colonoscopy as an outpatient to further evaluate the cause of her melena. she has subtle st changes on inital ekg, but ruled out for an mi by enzymes. . # hypotension: ms was hypotensive on intial presentation, responding well to fluid boluses. she had a cortisol stimulation test with normal response. it became clear that she responds to sedation with benzodiazepines with prolonged hypotension (as well as increased delerium and agitation), and therefore these were stopped, and put into her allergy list. after cessation of benzodiazepines, her blood pressure was much more stable, and she did not require bolusing. she never required pressors. . # als: it was felt that she likely had progression of her als, with diaphragmatic weakness and co2 retention. her respiratory mechanics were repeatedly asessed, and showed that she would not be able to come off the vent. therefore a trach was placed in the or by thoracic surgery (ip unable to place due to her anatomy). . # hyponatremia: mrs was hyponatremic on admission. tis resolved with hydration, indicating that she was likely hypovolemic and total body sodium depleted. she had no further problems with this for the duration of her stay. . #diarrhea: new on / slight increase in in wbc to 15. afebrile. no abdominal pain. has been on course of antibiotics for vent associated pna. those antibiotics stopped today. also on tube feeds. c. diff is a possibility given recent abx but it may also be related to tube feeds. on c.diff is pending. at this point it is reasonable to follow fever curve and stool output. c.diff lab should be followed up. consider empiric treatment of c. diff with flagyl if febrile or diarrhea persists. . #hypernatremia - likely releated to low volume. will increase free water with tube feeds from 100cc q4hr to 150cc q4h. a chenistry panel should be checked on to make sure na remains stable. . # conjunctivitis: ms. had bilateral conjunctivitis on admission. this resolved with a 7 day course of erythromycin eye cream. . # skin changes: ms intitial presenting chief complaint was erythema of her hands and feet. dermatology was consulted, and said that she likely has erythromyalgia. the treatment for this is sarna lotion and aspirin, and improvement does not occur in less than a month. she was treated with sarna and asa throughout her stay. additionally she had burns on the inside of both thighs from a hot tea spill at home prior to admission. per dermatology recs, these areas were treated with antibiotic cream and xeroform dressings, and healed over cleanly without infection. . # fen: ms. had a peg on admission as she has not been able to take po intake for some time secondary to progression of her als. she was continued npo, with tubefeeds per nutrition. we monitored & repleted her electrolytes lytes. she was kept euvolemic. #renal failure: pt's creatinine increased during this admission from 0.7 to 1.3. bun remained around 20 .urine lytes were consistent with atn>reanla failure was attributed to atn d/2 zosyn.although it was chenged to cefepime, there was no improvement. renal us showed no obstruction. pt's creatinitne remained near 1.3.plan will be to keep pt hydrated , avoid nephrotoxins and follow creatinine as outpatient. . # ppx: ms. was treated with sc heparin, protonix, and a bowel regimen. she did have some constipation, and her bowel regimen was increased with good results. . # access: she was maintained with pivs throughout most of her hospitalization. shortly before discharge a picc line was placed as she was losing all her peripheral access. . # code status: per discussion with ms and her husband she was full code throughout her stay. medications on admission: elavil (stopped a few weeks ago) discharge medications: 1. docusate sodium 150 mg/15 ml liquid sig: po bid (2 times a day). 2. camphor-menthol 0.5-0.5 % lotion sig: one

right opacification could relate to either aspiration and/or infection, with superimposed component of atelectasis. . cxr-findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the extent of the right and left basal and perihilar parenchymal opacities, likely to reflect pneumonia, are unchanged. a mild left pleural effusion might have newly occurred. otherwise, the radiograph is constant in appearance, including the left pectoral port-a-cath and the tracheal stent. . head ct -impression: no evidence of intracranial lesions. . ct chest/neck-impression: 1. increased ground-glass and consolidative appearance of both lower lobes and the dependent aspect of the upper lobes, likely represent infectious etiology such as pneumonia/aspiration, and are less typical of metastatic lesions. 2. increased endoluminal soft tissue attenuation at the trachea at the distal end of the stent is nonspecific and may be secondary to secretions, although tumor infiltration cannot be excluded. either repeat imaging or correlation with bronchoscopy may yield further assessment. 3. asymmetry in the region of the right false cords is better seen on the ct of the neck performed concurrently, and would be better assessed by direct visualization as indicated. . kub -findings: contrast was injected over the newly placed j-tube. the balloon projects over the stomach, expected contrast markings of the

ii-iii esophageal cancer receiving treatment with chemoradiation and recently admitted from to for cycle #4 cisplatin/5fu. # hypoxia: in the emergency department, the patient had o2 saturation in the low 80s and required supplemental oxygen with a face mask. he was rapidly weaned to 4l nc over the first day of his stay in the icu. the first night in the icu he again desaturated to the low 80s and required face mask for several hours. this was thought to be due to significant mucus production and decreased cough. the second day in the icu his cough and oxygenation improved, and he was maintained on nasal cannula between 2-4l. treatment included antibiotics for presumed pneumonia (as below), hydration, and pulmonary hygiene to assist mucus clearance. as his oxygenation improved, he was moved to the floor for further treatment. he has been on room air for days. sat on day of discharge 95% on ra. the patient was subsequently transitioned to the medical floor for ongoing management of his pneumonia. he was continued on broad spectrum antibiotics. we suspect that his pneumonia was at least in part related to his secretions related to his esophageal mass and oral secretions. during the admission, a ct confirmed multilobar involvement of a likely infectious process. his hypoxia resolved while on treatment for the pneumonia. discussed with patient and his family that given his mass and npo status, pt is at continued risk of aspiration and recurrent pneumonia.he has been on room air for days. sat on day of discharge 95% on ra. # pneumonia (health care acquired) likely cause of fever, hypoxia given new consolidation on cxr. given his significant secretions, and his deferral of mouth care at times in his course, it is likely that he aspirates intermittently. additional sources considered included a te fistula (secondary to disease and tracheal stenting), reflux from tube feeds, or hcap. blood and sputum cultures were sent, although unfortunately sputum samples were not sufficient for testing. blood cultures did not reveal evidence of acute bacterial infection. antibiotics were started to cover possible sources of infection (vancomycin and cefepime). flagyl was then added for anaerobic coverage. plan is for a 14-day course ending on . # hypotension: on arrival to the icu, the patient was hypotensive with bp 88/60. per report, he appeared dehydrated. his blood pressure responded well to hydration, and on transfer to the floor he had sbps in the 110-120s. he did not have recurrence of hypotension, but did require iv fluids for hyponatremia related to presumed dehydration at a later point in his hospital stay. this did not reoccur on the medical floor. # leukocytosis: the patient's wbc count was elevated to 26.6 on admission, most likely due to hcap as above. other possible etiologies include (pt was on vanco po in outpt setting prior to admit), g-tube (although site looks clean) and uti (but has clean ua). repeat stool and urine studies were sent. his white count rapidly dropped to normal while on iv antibiotics for the pneumonia, and continued therapy for his persistent infection. pt did have increase in diarrhea while on antibiotic therapy. for this, vancomycin was increased to 500mg q6 while on iv abx therapy. plan is to decrease to 125mg qid for 2 weeks after iv therapy ends. # urinary retention: this was an issue during the patient's last hospitalization and he was empirically started on . as this is not available for ng administration, it was held during the admission. a foley catheter was in place throughout his stay. # mucositis: chronic issue. caphosol continued, although the patient found it painful to use and often refused it during his initial course. viscous lidocaine was helpful at times of significant pain, although was not required as improved mouth care was achieved. # c.diff colitis: the patient was started on po vancomycin for c difficile colitis on his prior admission. therapy was continued as an outpatient. this was continued during his stay, with a targeted 14 day course of therapy from the last day of antibiotic treatment. his dose was increased to 500mg qid during his admission, when his diarrhea was noted to increase in frequency and there was concern for the need for ongoing iv antibiotics which could be worsening his . plans include decreasing his oral treatment to 125mg qid of po vanco once he completes his iv antibiotics. (this can start on for 2 weeks). i/o's should be closely monitored in the outpatient setting so that ins match outs especially in the setting of diarrhea. pt should be given iv fluids (normal saline) to meet goals prn. # hyponatremia: on presentation, the patient was mildly hyponatremic to 131. this was considered to be likely hypovolemic, and his sodium level rapidly corrected with hydration. urine electrolyte testing revealed a possible component of siadh, probably secondary to his pulmonary disease. the amount of water in his tube feed flushes was monitored, as were his electrolytes. there was likely some degree of total body salt deficit, which improved with iv normal saline, but remained below his usual baseline sodium level. sodium levels should be monitored in the outpatient setting. decreased free water flushes on to 150cc q6hrs. ulytes more c/w siadh. if sodium remains stable and pt needs increased free water, can increase to 200cc q6hrs. sodium 131 on day of discharge. . # depression/insomnia/anhedonia: on admission, the patient initially refused most medical care including vital signs, turning, and medications. he has had many hospitalizations during the last few months, and has been frustrated by the perceived lack of progress. his home regimen of citalopram, ritalin, and trazodone was continued throughout his stay. # headache: per his friends, he has been having progressively worsening headaches over the last few weeks. he had a ct head on with no acute findings and pet imaging on without apparent intracranial findings, although this did not extend

pursued while inpatient given his ongoing headaches, to preclude metastasis, which did not show evidence of metastasis. pt was given oxycodone and tylenol for pain control. . #esophageal cancer:

for mi (baseline elevated troponin but flat). after control of bp and hd, he had no complaints of dyspnea. he initially required cpap but was soon off oxygen. compliance issues were addressed with the patient, primary team, and psych consult. . #) htn: he has h/o med non-compliance with other admissions for hypertensive urgency. he was briefly on nitro gtt. his actual home medication regimen was investigated via communication with his pcp's office and pharmacy; it appeared that his home regimen was different from that which he has been put on in the hospital on past admissions (see medication list). for example, clonidine is always listed as one of his home medications. however, he is not using this at home and does not like this side effects; he therefore discretely removes it while admitted, resulting in rebound hypertension. in general, he does not trust medications not given by his pcp and will not take them post discharge without first talking to him. . #) esrd: t1dm, on hd x 1.5 years. he missed hd prior to admission (had had no hd x 5 days). he was dialyzed the first three days of his admission and will resume his regular schedule as an outpatient. he expresses great frustration with hd and is eager for renal . however, he is currently off the list unstable mental state and depression. he has an upcoming appointment with the psychology team. his phosphate binders were continued. . #) dm: on insulin x22y, last a1c in was 7.0. we continued his home regimen of 70/30 with additional sliding scale coverage which he intermittently refused to take (does not do a sliding scale at home.) glucose control overall was good. . #) depression: he admits to having a lot of sadness and frustration related to multiple medical problems and the role that hemodialysis plays in his life. psychiatry was consulted (there was also concern that his missing hd was in some way a suicidal gesture). it was felt that his moods were more consistent with dysthymia rather than major depression. mirtazepine was restarted. he will followup with his counselor and pcp with further referral to psychiatry through their offices. he will also followup with psychology as above.

course: patient is an 81 yo female with progressive painless jaundice over the past two weeks now presenting with hypotension and hypothermia likely representing sepsis. patient initially presented with hypotension, tachycardia and leukocytosis of 12,000 with bandemia. pressures initially improved with ns boluses though maps remained in the mid-50's. initial infectious sources that were considered included urosepsis especially given urine cx positive for esbl e.coli and cholangitis given cholestatic picture. chest x-ray also demonstrated patchy opacities in the left mid-lung which concerning for possible pnuemonia. patient was initially started on meropenem, flagyl and vancomycin. central venous and arterial access was also obtained and patient was intubated. she was also started on pressors to maintain maps > 65. ct abdomen and us were performed to evaluate for cbd dilitation which were negative. sputum cultures were obtained which were possitive for mrsa and urine cultures were obtained which were possitive for e.coli and enterococcus. initial labs showed a large transaminitis with elevated ap and tuberculosis. ercp was consulted who recommended ercp vs. mrcp to evaluate for obstruction. liver was also consulted who felt the most likely etiology given normal imaging was drug induced intrahepatic cholestasis with components of shock liver vs. obstruction. they also recommended mrcp vs. transjugular biopsy; however, patient had a pacer and was not well enough to tolerate the biopsy. hepatitis serologies were checked and were negative. transaminases trended down throughout her stay while ap and tuberculosis remained elevated. patient began to experience atrial fibrillation with rvr to the 150's which was somewhat controlled after loading with digoxin. patient also began to experience anuric renal failure with diffuse anasarca. renal was consulted regarding possibility of cvvh vs. hd; however, after discussion with family, this was not consistent with her long term goals of care and thus deferred. a tte was performed which showed an lvef of 30-35%. wound care was consulted and recommended continuing adequate skin moisturizer to prevent tissue breakdown. attempts were made to wean pressors but the patient remained pressor dependent throughout her stay. family meetings were routinely held discussing goals of care. on the family agreed to no escalation of care and on the family asked for patient to be made cmo. she was extubated and all medications were stopped. patient subsequently expired in the evening on 9/31.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: weight gain, weakness major surgical or invasive procedure: colonoscopy-no apparent bleeding lesion. history of present illness: 71 y.o russian speaking female with extensive pmh including cad, chf, afib and chronic anemia. she was recently admitted in for anemia work-up and found to have a bleeding gastric ectasia on egd which was removed. colonoscopy revealed a benign polyp. pt presents today after feeling increased fatigue at home. denies cp or increasing sob. on home o2 at 2l and has not required increased amounts. pt also notes that she has been unable to walk around her apartment as much, but is limited by weakness vs shortness of breath. she does not feel that her breathig has changed. her symptoms began approx 3 weeks ago. denies, cough, cold symptoms, fever, chills, nausea, vomting, change in diet or medication. pt reports that she was told by her pcp that she had gained a lot of weight due to fluid and needed to come into the hospital for diuresis. past medical history: cad h/o chf afib on coumadin anemia restrictive lung disease social history: married, no alcohol or tobacco family history: non-contributory physical exam: vs: 97.5, 97/50, 57,16, 95 on 2l nc gen: morbidly obese, pale, pleasant, speaking in full sentences. heent: ophx clear,

long axis dimension: 3.7 cm (nl <= 4.0 cm) aortic valve - peak velocity: *4.1 m/sec (nl <= 2.0 m/sec) aortic valve - peak gradient: 64 mm hg aortic valve - mean gradient: 40 mm hg mitral valve - e wave: 1.1 m/sec mitral valve - a wave: 1.2 m/sec mitral valve - e/a ratio: 0.92 mitral valve - e wave deceleration time: 270 msec left atrium: normal la size. right atrium/interatrial septum: normal ra size. left ventricle: normal lv cavity size. overall normal lvef (>55%). right ventricle: normal rv chamber size and free wall motion. aorta: normal aortic root diameter. aortic valve: severely thickened/deformed aortic valve leaflets. moderate as. mitral valve: mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. moderate mitral annular calcification. pericardium: no pericardial effusion. conclusions: 1. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is very difficult to assess but it may be normal (lvef>55%). 2. the aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. there is moderate aortic valve stenosis. 3. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. 4. compared with the findings of the prior study (tape reviewed) of , lv function may have improved. colonoscopy: (rectal polyp, polypectomy): distorted fragment of benign colonic mucosa with melanosis coli; no adenomatous change seen (multiple levels examined). brief hospital course: 71 yo russian speaking female with extensive pmh presents with weight gain and increased fatigue over the past 3-4 weeks. 1)anemia: pt was recently admitted in for anemia work-up and found to have a bleeding gastric ectasia on egd which was removed. colonoscopy at that time revealed a benign polyp. pt was found to have hct of 18 on this admission. pt was transferred to the ccu for monitoring and received 8 units of prbc with appropriate increase from 18 to 33. the anemia was thought to be subacute since she was never hemodynamically unstable. gi was consulted. coumadin was held for suspected gi bleed. colonoscopy was scheduled but held for persistent high inr which was reversed with vitamin k. pt was a difficult prep and required almost 4-5 days of prepping with golytely and other laxative. pt finally underwent colonoscopy which revealed no source of bleed. since pt's hct was stable 25 34-35, no further diagnostic procedure was done. if pt were to develop another acute/subacute anemia, capsule study was recommended. 2) chf: pt has a long hx of chf per old records. last echo before admission was from which showed ef of 35-40%. she got an echo on which showed ef>55%. pt was initially started on niseritide and lasix for diuresis for suspected chf exacerbation before her initial hct of 18 came back. pt received lasix between transfusions. lisinopril was held for increased creatinine. pt's wt was stable and chf status was stable initially. however, after 5 days of prep for the colonoscopy, pt started to gain weight everyday and was net positive daily. pt was refractory to standing iv lasix and diuril. she got picc line placed under ir and natrecor gtt was started with still net positive daily. lasix gtt was added and was titrated up to 10-15mg/hr which gave some reponse initially but again became refractory to it. dopamine gtt was tried but showed no improvement in uop. pt lost picc access. however one day, she started to respond extremely well with lasix gtt at 10mg/hr and iv diuril 250 mg only (without natrecor). pt's admission weight was 130 kg (128 kg in a clinic note) and has gotten up as high as 139 kg. however, she was able to diuresis 1-2l/day and her weight came down to 130kg which is her baseline. the diuretics were changed to po form (lasix po 120 mg and diuril po 125 mg ) and pt continued to diuresis with net negative daily. pt's chf was thought to be possibly from as. if that is the case, valve replacement could improve her symtoms. review of the aortic valve orifice and consideration of valve replacement should be discussed as outpatient. pt needs to follow up with a clinic within 1 week. 3) afib: pt with hx of atrial fibrillation but now in sinus rhythm. rate is bradycardic. pt noted to have pauses on tele up to 2 seconds. pt was continued on amiodarone 200 mg po qd. coumadin was held in a setting of gi bleed and also for high inr prior to colonoscopy. coumadin was restarted with goal inr of . pt needs to be seen by her pcp to check her inr level. 4) copd/restrictive lung dz: pt was continued on 2 l of oxygen which is her baseline. pt was getting nebulizer prn for wheezing and sob. pt is on home o2. 5) dm: pt was initially continued on home meds of avandia and glyburide and was cover with riss. however, avandia was held while she was npo. she will be discharged with her home regimen. 9) code: dnr/ dni- this

hospital course: 64yo m with hiv, hbv, hcv, hcc, cirrhosis status post orthotopic liver (), a history of dvt/pe and nephrolithiasis, who was admitted on for antibiotic treatment of a vre uti and bridge from coumadin to heparin for lithotripsy procedure . his post-operative course was complicated by fevers, confusion, unstable vitals consistent with urosepsis/shock, requiring transfer to the micu and broad antibiotic therapy, now transferred back to the - service, stable, and ready for discharge. . # uti/urosepsis/urolithiasis: on admission, an oupatient culture was reported as growing vancomycin resistant enterococcus. treatment of a vre uti infection with daptomycin was initated on , with a documented negative urine culture on . on patient underwent lithotripsy and placement of a stent. during the middle of the night, he was noted to have altered mental status. he had taken off his heparin gtt and was walking around saying that he was ready to go home. they continued to hold his heparin gtt at that time. he was placed back in bed, and noted to be febrile with a tm of 102.7 at 0030 this morning. his bp was 80/d at the time, hr in the 50s. he received 1l bolus without effect in his bp. at 530 this morning, his bp was 104/d and hr 88. after the 1l of ivfs, his o2 sat was noted to be 87% on ra. he was placed on 2l nc and improved. he received a second l bolus and at 8 am this morning, was rigoring again with t 102.6, bp 110/50, p 100, r 36 and 97% on 2l. the micu was called for transfer. a urine culture drawn at this time grew out polymicrobial (klebsiella, enterobacter, nonpsuedomonas nonfermenter) and the patient was appropriately started on meropenem on . urology confirmed placement and draining of stent on . a larger foley was placed to aid in the drainage of the stones. on the patient had a picc line placed for outpatient antibiotic administration. on , per id recommendations relating to culture sensitivies, the meropenem was switched to cipro. the patient completed his course of daptomycin on . the patient will continue po cipro until . he will follow up with the clinic as an outpatient. he will follow up with id as an outpatient. . hospital acquired pneumonia: the patient was transferred to the micu with hypoxia thought to be secondary to an aspiration. other etiologies considered were hypoxia secondary to volume overload from iv fluid boluses (last echo in was normal) and pneumonia. antibiotic coverage for hospital acquired pneumonia with meropenem was started on and vancomycin was added on to provide better coverage for mrsa. cxr on showed a stable left lower lobe consolidation with new opacity and air bronchograms in the right middle lobe that could possible be atelectasis. respiratory aspirate cultures were without growth. on transfer to the floors, the patient was continued on meropenem for possible hospital acquired pneumonia. vancomycin was stopped as per id's recommendations. antibiotics were continued as discussed above. . history of dvt/pe: the patient had a pe in and was placed on heparin. on arrival to the hospital, a heparin bridge was initiated to prepare for the lithotripsy procedure. on the heparin was held, the patient underwent the lithotripsy, and the heparin gtt was restarted after the procedure. the heparin was held during the events leading up the transfer to the micu, resulting in subtherapeutic ptts. he was restarted on heparin in the micu and bridged to coumadin. on transfer to the floors, his inr was supratherapeutic, requiring adjustment of the coumadin to 5mg. when the patient was transitioned to cipro, his coumadin was empirically lowered to 3mg. his inr trended downwards and his coumadin was increased to 5mg. he will have his inr checked with this labs on monday and reviewed at his clinic appointment on . . s/p olt: the patient has a hx of hepatitis b, hcc, and is s/p olt one year prior to presentation. on admission he had stable lfts and no signs of encephalopathy on tacrolimus, cellcept, and bactrim prophyllaxis. following his lithotripsy, the patient developed with abdominal distension concerning for ascites, confirmed by ultrasound, along with positive asterixis. in combination with his altered mental status, this was concerning for hepatic encephalopathy. on the patient was started on lactulose for treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, then transitioned to rifaxamin on . the patient was continued on his tacrolimus and cellcept. he will follow up in clinic, where he will be assessed for future liver biopsy. he will require an inpatient stay for this biopsy so that he can bridged from coumadin to heparin prior to the procedure. . pancytopenia: patient has a longstanding history of pancytopenia. wbc was 1.9 on admission and ranged from 1.5-3.1 over his hospital course. hct was in the low 20s and required 1 transfusion of prbcs. this is of uncertain origin, likely multifactorial infection, medication (hiv, antibiotics, etc). in setting of increasing splenomegaly, we have considered a hem/onc process. as per dr. , this is already being worked up in the outpatient setting. . hiv: stable, cd4 65, vl 120, immunosuppressed on anti-rejection medications. no modifications were made to his haart regimen (ritonavir, raltegravir) and bactrim ppx. lyrica (for hiv neuropathy) was held while in micu, but restarted on the floors. .

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient was an 89 year old woman with a history of hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to an outside hospital on after mechanical fall. at the outside hospital, a ct scan of the head was negative, the patient was asymptomatic but ecg developed t wave inversions anteriorly and she was found to have elevated creatinine kinase with a peak of 840. peak ck mb was at 25 and troponin i peaked at 8.0. the patient was started on heparin at the outside hospital. the patient also was noted at the outside hospital to have supraventricular tachycardia despite beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. the patient was transferred to on for a cardiac catheterization. she underwent cardiac catheterization on , which showed 80% diagonal 1 stenosis which was too small for intervention and otherwise mild disease. the patient also with left ventricular end diastolic pressure of 35 which was elevated as well as severe diastolic ventricular dysfunction. the patient was admitted to the service at that time for diuresis. the patient also underwent electrophysiology ablation on for her recurrent supraventricular tachycardia despite medical management. an echocardiogram on showed severe hypokinesis which was new compared to a normal echocardiogram per report from an outside hospital dated . the patient also had two episodes of hypoxia while on the floor which improved with respiratory suctioning and diuresis. on , the patient had a witnessed respiratory arrest. the patient was speaking to a nurses aide and abruptly stopped breathing and turned blue. the patient was intubated at that time as well as started on dopamine drip for pressure support and transferred to the coronary care unit. at the time of transfer to the coronary care unit, the patient was intubated, sedated and not able to answer questions or follow commands. past medical history: 1. total hip replacement. 2. chronic renal insufficiency. 3. hypertension. 4. recurrent falls. 5. anemia. 6. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. physical examination: on admission, intubated and sedated elderly woman in no apparent distress with coarse breath sounds throughout her lungs. she had a ii/vi systolic murmur. the remainder of the physical examination was notable for no edema and trace pulses throughout. laboratory: diagnostics on admission revealed chest x-ray with appropriate placement of endotracheal tube. no pneumothorax. moderately enlarged heart as well as mild congestive pattern. no acute infiltrates evident. white blood cell count of 8.5, hematocrit 32. chemistries within normal limits except for a bun and creatinine of 66/2.9, which was markedly elevated from 32/1.1 just hours prior. concise summary of hospital course: the patient was an 89 year old woman with hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, transferred from an outside hospital after having positive cardiac enzymes as well as ecg changes for cardiac catheterization. the patient had respiratory arrest and was intubated on the floor on and transferred to the coronary care unit. . respiratory arrest/pulmonary: unclear etiology but likely due to a mucus plus. also in the differential is pulmonary embolism as well as flash pulmonary edema. flash pulmonary edema was unlikely given the chest x-ray that showed improving congestive heart failure. arrhythmia was unlikely given no events on telemetry. pulmonary embolism was possible and therefore the patient was maintained on heparin drip empirically for pulmonary embolism. diagnostic tests for pulmonary embolism were not undertaken due to the patient's renal function and poor functional status. the patient remained intubated on assist control and then later on pressure support with improvement in her arterial blood gas pattern. also on the differential for causing respiratory arrest was aspiration, however, this was not likely given the chest x-ray findings. the patient was still covered with clindamycin and levofloxacin for this however. the patient also continued on nebulizer treatments. per discussions with the patient's family and medical team, the patient was extubated on and was placed on supplemental oxygen via shovel mask and nasal cannula. the patient was made comfort measures only even prior to extubation and the plan with the family and medical team was not to re-intubate due to the poor prognosis and futility of re-intubation. the patient was placed on a morphine drip titrated to comfort. the patient passed away from cardiopulmonary arrest on . 2. coronary artery disease: the patient with non-st elevation myocardial infarction at the outside hospital which may have been rate related ischemia related to the patient's supraventricular tachycardia. the patient was maintained on aspirin as well as plavix and beta blocker. 3. pump and hemodynamics: echocardiogram on showed an ejection fraction of 25% with severe hypokinesis and depressed right ventricular function as well as depressed left ventricular function. this was a drastic change from the patient's echocardiogram at an outside hospital on . the obtained report from that echocardiogram showed a normal ejection fraction. the patient was started on dopamine on when she became hypotensive during her respiratory arrest. this was weaned to off within one day of transfer to the coronary care unit. 4. rhythm: supraventricular tachycardia which was noticed at the outside hospital, and which was resistant to beta blocker and calcium channel blocker. the patient underwent an electrophysiology ablation on , which she tolerated well and which successfully brought the patient back to sinus rhythm. the patient was not noted to have any arrhythmias or abnormal rhythms on telemetry even during her respiratory arrest. her deterioration in medical status was not thought to be related to the electrophysiology procedure. 5. renal function: the patient's creatinine initially was in the low 1.0 range, but elevated acutely to the 3.0 range surrounding her respiratory arrest. this may have been due to renal hypoperfusion or acute tubular necrosis due to hypotension during the respiratory arrest. the dye load from the patient's cardiac catheterization may have contributed somewhat to this as well. 6. elevated liver function tests: the patient's peak alt of 1200 and ast of 1800 were likely related to hepatic hypoperfusion due to patient's hypotension during the respiratory arrest period. disposition: the patient expired on , in the coronary care unit. the patient's family were consulted throughout her hospital stay and agreed with the plan to make the patient comfort measures only beginning . the patient was "do not resuscitate" and "do not intubate" and comfort measures only when she passed away. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is an 83 year old gentleman with multiple medical problems who had been was in his usual state of health except for a cough, when he awoke on the morning of admission feeling weak, with no strength in his legs. upon going to the bathroom, attempting to urinate, he collapsed to the floor and was unable to rise due to weakness. his wife was by his side and witnessed this event, and states that the patient never lost consciousness, never had any seizure-like activity or bowel or bladder incontinence. aside from being weak, his only change was a heavy voice. upon arrival, emergency medical technicians noted the patient's blood sugar of 50. after placing an intravenous line and administering one ampule of d50, the patient became much more alert and was then transported to the emergency room for further evaluation. past medical history: 1. type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least five years. 2. end-stage renal disease, treated medically, with a baseline creatinine of 4 to 5, has progressively increased over the last three years. 3. coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting 15 years ago, now with chronic intermittent exertional angina. 4. hypertension. 5. status post cerebrovascular accident with a right lacune in . 6. hydrocephalus, initially presented with chronic gait instability and urinary incontinence. 7. hypercholesterolemia. 8. colonic polyps, status post partial colectomy in . 9. echocardiogram in showed a left atrium that was dilated, left ventricle with preserved function, some mitral annular calcification and trivial mitral regurgitation. social history: the patient is a retired ap news reporter who covered the beats. he lives with his wife in their home in , . the patient denies the use of tobacco or alcohol. hospital course: 1. renal: the patient appeared to have a clinical course consistent with end-stage renal disease secondary to poorly controlled hypertension and diabetes mellitus. an emergent ultrasound was performed on initial presentation and ruled out any evidence of hydronephrosis and showed mildly shrunken kidneys bilaterally with an echogenicity consistent with medical renal disease. initially, the patient had a metabolic acidosis with a bicarbonate level of 10 that was treated appropriately with bicarbonate supplementation. he was hyperphosphatemic, which was treated with phosphorous binders. the patient initially did not require hemodialysis, however, after receiving large amounts of volume for treatment of his anemia, the patient went into congestive heart failure and was not responsive to lasix. at that time, an emergent right quinton femoral catheter was placed and the patient was given hemofiltration with good effect and resolution of his volume overload. after traumatic self removal of his right femoral quinton, the patient was taken to the operating room and had a permanent right subclavian venous access catheter placed. definitive placement of an arteriovenous fistula will be necessary but has been deferred at this time. the patient subsequently needed hemodialysis on a three day per week schedule, and will continue to receive dialysis at rehabilitation and at the local center in after the patient returns home. dr. will follow the patient in dialysis and act as his primary nephrologist. an appointment with him can be scheduled prior to discharge from the rehabilitation facility, through his office, which is . 2. diabetes mellitus: the patient was hypoglycemic at the time of presentation, which was thought to be secondary to decreased renal clearance of his oral hypoglycemic medications. they were subsequently discontinued and the patient was managed on a regular insulin sliding scale per standard routine. longer standing insulin was not initiated due to wide fluctuations in his insulin requirement, thought to be secondary to his metabolic flux from dialysis and changes associated with reinstitution of his diet, which was quite poor during the initial portion of his hospitalization. 3. cardiac: on the first evening of the patient's hospitalization, he was being ruled out for an acute coronary syndrome with cardiac enzymes because of his complaint of current chest heaviness, even while at rest. initial cardiac enzymes were negative, however, he subsequently began to rule in, with positive troponin and ck but a negative mb index. the patient was subsequently heparinized, however, this was during his transfusion, which was not bumping appropriately and it was discovered that the patient had developed a large left retroperitoneal iliopsoas bleed while on heparin. the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit, heparin was discontinued, ddavp and .................... were given to improve his uremic platelet function and he continued to be transfused for a hematocrit of over 30. subsequent cardiac enzymes trended downward and the patient had no st segment elevations. he was managed medically with increased doses of beta blockers and nitrates, and did not have any recurrent episodes of chest pain. the patient should have a stress test in approximately two months' time, which can be coordinated with his primary care physician. 4. urology: the patient had intermittent episodes of hematuria during his stay, which were most likely related to the traumatic foley catheter placement. he did require numerous episodes of bladder irrigations with a three-way foley, with subsequent resolution of his difficulty. he did continue to have occasional episodes of urinary incontinence, as he has had for many years, which was thought to be due to his normal pressure hydrocephalus. 5. neurology: the patient was followed by his primary neurologist, dr. , while in house and did not have any active neurologic issues. 6. anemia: the patient presented initially with a hematocrit of 21, which was thought to be due to medical renal disease. he has received iron and erythropoietin supplementation with his hemodialysis, and will continue to receive it as such. the patient should be maintained with a hematocrit of greater than 30 because of his coronary artery disease. 7. nutrition: the patient had very poor nutrition during the initial portion of his hospital stay and was slow to recover in his diet. he should continue to be on a phosphate restricted diet and should receive a diet of 1,780 kilocalories with 74 grams of protein per day. 8. left leg pain: the patient had moderate to severe episodes of left leg pain, thought to be related to his retroperitoneal bleed on that side. plain films of the hip joint were negative for fracture. 9. infectious disease: the patient had a enterococcal urinary tract infection which was treated successfully with ampicillin. discharge status: to rehabilitation. condition at discharge: stable. discharge medications: protonix 40 mg p.o.q.d.

sister. drinks a six-pack of beer every day. he smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day for the last 25 years. he has a history of smoking cocaine and actively smokes marijuana. physical examination: vital signs were temperature 101.7, heart rate 90, respiratory rate 18, blood pressure 155/84 and oxygen saturation of 96% on room air. in general he was sitting in a wheelchair in no apparent distress. his heent examination was normocephalic, atraumatic, extraocular movements were intact, pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light, moist mucous membranes and his oropharynx was clear. he had very poor dentition but no obvious sources of infection or pus. neck was supple, no lymphadenopathy, neck veins were flat. chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. his cardiovascular examination showed a regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2 without murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdomen was distended, tympanic. he had positive bowel sounds, was nontender with no masses and no hepatosplenomegaly. his extremities showed no muscle tone, decreased bulk, scars bilaterally on his lower extremities, no edema. neurological examination showed paralysis of bilateral lower extremities, semiparalysis of his upper extremities. he was able to move them but did not have fine motor control of his fingers. he had decreased muscle tone and bulk. on skin examination, he had

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: ms. is a 66 year-old russian female with a history of shoulder dislocation admitted with shoulder dislocation status post fall. today on the day of admission she was rushing to answer the phone, became lightheaded and fell to the ground. she landed on her right shoulder and noticed pain. she denied chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness prior to the event. in the emergency room orthopedics attempted to reduce her shoulder all day and ultimately succeeded at night, but not without giving her multiple doses of fentanyl and versed. past medical history: significant for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, low back pain, hypercholesterolemia, history of syncope, nephrolithiasis, recent cellulitis, acute renal failure, baseline creatinine of approximately 1.7 and a history of right shoulder dislocation. medications: she takes nph insulin 25 units subcutaneously b.i.d., lipitor 10 mg po q day, aspirin 81 mg po q.d., toprol xl dose is unclear at this time. allergies: the patient is allergic to sulfa. social history: she lives alone in . no tobacco. no alcohol. speaks functional english. works in insurance. from approximately forty years ago. physical examination: temperature 99.9. pulse 70. blood pressure 120/70. respirations 16. 93% on room air. in general, she was an elderly russian female in no acute distress. heent showed mucous membranes are moist. neck supple. no lymphadenopathy. jvd was not present. lungs were significant for bibasilar crackles. there was a 2 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur heard best at the left upper sternal border. heart was regular. abdomen was soft, mildly obese, nontender, nondistended. extremities showed 2+ edema in her right lower extremity, right shoulder tender. she cannot abduct or extend her right shoulder. sensation and pulses were intact. laboratory: chem 7 sodium 140, potassium 4.7, chloride 106, bicarb 22, bun 38, creatinine 2.0, glucose 98, white count 17.9, hematocrit 30.2, platelets 256, 87% polys, 7 lymphocytes, 4 monocytes, urinalysis showed nitrite negative, greater then 300 protein, 3 to 5 white blood cells, 6 to 10 epithelial cells, occasional bacteria. x-rays showed anterior dislocation of her humerus. no fracture. electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm at 70, normal axis and intervals. t wave inversion in 1, l, v5 and v6, which were unchanged from previously. hospital course: 1. orthopedics: the patient's shoulder was reduced in the emergency room by orthopedic staff and remained in place throughout the admission. 2. mental status: on approximately the third hospital day the patient's mental status began to decline over a period of two days and the patient became progressively less responsive. head scan was unremarkable. neuro consult felt that her decrease in mental status was likely secondary to a toxic metabolic encephalopathy from her tylenol #3 failing to clear with decreased creatinine clearance as well as the possibility of uremic encephalopathy given the fact that her creatinine had increased markedly during admission. the patient was in the intensive care unit for approximately two days during which her mental status cleared and her mental status was at her baseline on the day of discharge. 3. renal: the patient came in with an elevated creatinine. her baseline creatinine is approximately between 1.7 and 2.1 in the previous months. her creatinine rose rapidly on the initial hospital day for unclear reasons peaking at 3.8 on and it had decreased to 2.3 on the day of discharge. workup was essentially negative in terms of negative renal ultrasound and fractional secretion of sodium was less then 1%. the etiology of her new renal insufficiency remained unclear at the time of discharge and renal consult did not feel that her mental status changes were secondary to uremia. 4. gastrointestinal: on the day that the patient went to the intensive care unit she had been having diarrhea and a c-diff toxin asa came back positive. she was treated with fourteen days of oral metronidazole, which improved her symptoms. she will complete the course at rehab. 5. cardiovascular: after returning from the intensive care unit on approximately the seventh hospital day the patient was noted to be tachycardic in the 150s with decreased blood pressure. electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. she was treated with oral and intravenous diltiazem. this proved refractory and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for a diltiazem drip, which broke her atrial fibrillation. she remained in sinus throughout the remainder of the hospitalization and the new medication of diltiazem 30 mg po q 6 hours was added. 6. hematology: the patient had a right subclavian central line placed during her first trip to the intensive care unit when she was unresponsive. approximately two days prior to discharge the patient was noted to have an edematous right arm and ultrasound revealed obstruction of the right axillary vein. the patient had been started on heparin drip and was started on coumadin. she will need to continue heparin therapy until her inr is therapeutic at rehab. 7. infectious disease: the patient had two blood cultures drawn off the central line positive for coag negative staphylococcus. the central line was removed and the patient had no further positive blood cultures. also the patient had a urinary tract infection, which was treated with seven days of ciprofloxacin, which was still being treated at the time of discharge. discharge status: to . discharge condition: good. discharge diagnoses: 1. right shoulder dislocation. 2. acute on chronic renal failure. 3. right axillary vein deep venous thrombosis. 4. mental status changes. 5. atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. 6. c-difficile colitis. 7. enterobacter urinary tract infection. medications on discharge: nph insulin 30 units q.a.m., 27 units q.p.m., metronidazole 500 mg po t.i.d. through , protonix 40 mg po q day, calcium carbonate 1000 mg po q day, lipitor 10 mg p q day, aspirin 325 mg po q.d., ciprofloxacin 250 mg po b.i.d. through , hydralazine 20 mg po q.i.d., diltiazem 30 mg po q 6 hours, coumadin 5 mg po q.h.s., heparin drip at 1500 units per hour titrated by ptt. heparin may be discontinued when inr is greater then 2.0 with a goal inr of 2 to 3. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified closed reduction of dislocation of shoulder diagnoses: urinary tract infection, site not specified acute kidney failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation intestinal infection due to clostridium difficile infection and

urine ucg-negative ct head w/o contrast study date of : findings: there is a heterogeteous, poorly defined left frontal intraxial mass with surrounding vasogenic edema. it measures approximately 3.5 x 2.8 cm. an mri with would be better in further evaluation. there are no other lesions or masses. there is significant mass effect causing left sulcal effacement and compression of the frontal of the left lateral ventricle. there is a 7.6 mm rightward subfalcine herniation. there is no evidence of hydrocephalus or ventricular entrapment. the and white matter differentiation in remainder of the brain is maintained. the osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable. impression: left frontal lobe poorly defined mass with vasogenic edema and 7.6 mm rightward subfalcine herniation. findings are concerning for a primary glial neoplasm and further correlation with mr is recommended. mr head w & w/o contrast : findings: as seen on the recent ct examination, there is a mass identified in the left frontal lobe region. the mass demonstrates irregular shape and measures approximately 4 cm in size. following , irregular areas of enhancement are seen with rim enhancement in the components of the mass. the mass extends from the left frontal lobe region to the subcortical region. extensive surrounding edema is seen with mass effect on the left lateral ventricle and midline shift. no restricted diffusion seen within the mass. there are no other areas of abnormal enhancement identified within the brain. few scattered foci of t2 hyperintensity are seen in the brain. impression: large, approximately 4 cm mass in the left frontal lobe with rim enhancement and surrounding edema with midline shift and mass effect on the left lateral ventricle. foci of low signal on susceptibility images in the mass indicate prior hemorrhage. the appearances of the mass are suggestive of a primary neoplasms such as a glioma. there is no hydrocephalus or acute infarct seen. pfi: left frontal lobe mass with surrounding edema and midline shift. the appearances are suggestive of a primary brain neoplasm such as glioma. cardiology report ecg study date of 12:28:30 pm sinus

lymphadenopathy. the heart and great vessels are unremarkable. there is no pericardial or pleural effusion. the lungs are clear. the airways are patent to the subsegmental level. there is no focal consolidation or pneumothorax. ct of the abdomen: the spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, and liver are unremarkable. there is focal fatty infiltration adjacent to the ligamentum teres (3, 54). minimal gallbladder wall thickening is likely attributable to adenomyomatosis. there is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. the adrenal glands are unremarkable. the small bowel loops are normal in caliber and without focal wall thickening. there is no evidence of free air or free fluid. ct of the pelvis: the rectum, sigmoid colon, bladder is unremarkable. the uterus is unremarkable. multiple dilated veins along the left pelvic side wall, including the left gonadal vein is noted (3, 104). there is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. bone windows: there are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions identified. impression: 1. no ct evidence of primary malignant tumor or distant metastases. 2. prominent pelvic veins along the left pelvic sidewall and dilated left gonadal vein, a frequent incidental finding. however, in the setting of chronic pelvic pain, the appearance can sometimes reflect pelvic congestion syndrome. pathology report procedure date , report date diagnosis: i. left frontal tumor is frozen section #1 (a-b): necrotic tissue with rare atypical cells. ii. left frontal tumor for frozen section #2 (c-d): malignant neoplasm consistent with glioma. iii. left frontal tumor for permanent section (e-h): glioblastoma (who grade iv), see note. note: severe cytologic atypia, numerous and atypical mitotic figures, microvascular proliferation, and necrosis (extensive) are seen. head ct without iv contrast : there has been interval left frontal craniectomy and excision of a previously 3.5-cm mass in the left frontal lobe. there is expected pneumocephalus. although the degree of vasogenic edema is similar, there has been a decrease in the degree of shift of midline structures, previously 10 mm shift to the right, and now 5 mm shift to the right (2:15). there is again compression of the frontal of the left lateral ventricle, but this appears somewhat less severe than in the prior study. the right lateral ventricle demonstrates improvement in the degree of mass effect. there has been no interval development of hydrocephalus, and the basal cisterns appear intact. there is no evidence of transtentorial herniation. the small amount of hemorrhage in the postoperative bed is expected. there is overlying subgaleal hematoma, and the craniectomy site is well opposed. the visualized paranasal sinuses and remainder of soft tissues appear unremarkable. impression: expected appearance following resection of left frontal lobe mass, with continued, but somewhat decreased mass effect and right shift of midline structures. mri : findings: the patient is status post left frontal craniotomy and resection of a previously identified neoplastic process involving the left frontal lobe, there is evidence of residual blood products within the surgical area, persistent and unchanged vasogenic edema and mild mass effect along the sulci in the right frontal ventricular . after administration of contrast, there is no evidence of significant abnormal enhancement, however, possibly it is too early to discriminate abnormal enhancement, correlation with a followup mri once the blood product has been reabsorbed, is recommended for further assessment. on the axial t2-weighted sequence, the arterial flow voids, demonstrates a possible vascular loop at the junction of the left a1 segment, and the anterior communicating artery (5:11), formally a small aneurysm cannot be completely excluded, followup with mra is recommended. the visualized paranasal sinuses are normal as well as the orbits, there is evidence of patchy opacities at the mastoid air cells bilaterally. impression: 1. the patient is status post left frontal mass resection and left frontal craniotomy, there is persistent vasogenic edema, blood products in the surgical bed. 2. the previously described left frontal lobe mass lesion apparently has been resected, and the blood at the surgical cavity obscures the pattern of enhancement, followup after the reabsorption of the blood products is recommended. 3. possible prominent vascular loop versus a small aneurysm is identified at the junction of the a1 and anterior communicating segment on the left. cta head w&w/o c & recons(): on non-contrast, decreasing pneumocephalus, otherwise unchanged post-left- frontal-mass resection appearance; no new hemorrhage. on cta, no aneurysm or vascular occlusion. area at the a1 segment bifurcation with acomm not aneurysm, likely infandibulum brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the neurosurgery service on after her ct scan revealed a new brain mass in the left frontal lobe. she was started on steroids for the large amount of edema surrounding the mass as well as dilantin for seizure prophylaxis. her mri of the brain revealved irregular areas of enhancement with rim enhancement in components of the mass. the was also mass effect on the left lateral ventricle. on the patient had a functional mri in preparation for surgery. she went to the or for tumor resection on . the patient tolerated the procedure well and the procedure was without complications. the patient went to the icu post-operatively for q 1 hour neuro checks. her neuro exam was stable post-operatively. physical therapy evaluated her and felt that she was safe to ambulate on her own and did not require any additional visits. she was tranferred to the neurosurgical floor on . her mri showed a gross total resection however there was a question of a small aneurysm seen at the junction of the acomm at a1 on the left. therefore the patient had a cta to further evaulate this on . the cta showed that this area of concern to be an infandibulum and not an aneurysm. occupational therapy evaluated the patient on and felt that she would benefit from outpatient therapy to assist with cognitive training. the final pathology for the mass was glioblastoma - who grade iv. she was ultimately discharged to home as above(), with follow

of present illness: 62 year old man has a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that dates back to his 20's. he has undergone about 7 cardioversions and has been trialed on several antiarrythmics including sotalol and flecainide. in late the patient began to experience increasing episodes of af and underwent pulmonary vein isolation/flutter ablation on . following the ablation he gradually weaned off of flecainide. in of he had a prolonged episode of rapid palpitations that required cardioversion. following this he has had almost monthly episodes of rapid palpitations that he has treated with am "flecainide cocktail", described as 300mg every four hours until resolution of symptoms. his most recent episode in required admission to for repeat cardioversion. he has not had further palpitations since then and is referred for left atrial tachycardia ablation. . prior to admission the patient reported feeling well except for an occasional sensation of skipped beat. he had intermittent le edema which he treated with compression stockings and as needed lasix. when he is in the arrhythmia for a prolonged period, he is aware of palpitations and a feeling of being run down.

pre-pericardiocenthesis. following aspiration of 400 cc of fluid, the amount of pericardial effusion appears small without echocardiographic signs of tamponade. after removal of an additional 100 cc of fluid, the pericardial effusion appears trivial. based on limited views, global left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef > 55%). . : tte there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. . impression: focused study. trivial pericardial effusion without echocardiographic evidence of tamponade. . compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the findings are similar (when compared to the post-pericardiocentesis images performed at the end of the study). brief hospital course: 62 yo male with paf, htn, and hld who presented for elective ablation for a-fib complicated by pericardial effusion. #pericardial effusion: patient's ablation procedure was complicated with ablation through left atriam with resulting pericardial effusion. in the cath lab, patient's maps fell into the 40s during the procedure. he was placed on neo and pericardiocentsis was perfromed with drainage of 500cc of bloody fluid. subsequently his maps rose into the 80-90s and neo was discontinued. he was transfered to ccu for further monitoring overnight. per report patient ablation was not totally completed at the time of pericardial effusions. overnight in the ccu patient's blood pressure reamined stable. he reported improvement in his pleuritic chest pain. overnight patient had about 125ml of serosangrounes fluid in the drain with no blood or clot therefore the drain was removed and sterile dressing applied. he had repeat echo in the morning which did not show any further reaccumulation of pericardial fluid. patient was discahrged on colchicine 0.6mg for one month to help with pain and prevent pericarditis. #recurrent atrial fibrillation: he underwent a left atrial ablation for recurrent paf. the procedure was complicated as above. his inr remained 2.0 and his coumadin was continued as an outpatient with an inr check on at his clinic.

considered and hence short- term reevaluation is necessary. a large coarse echogenic liver without focal lesions. ascites. gallbladder sludge. . liver us 1. trace amount of perihepatic ascites, insufficient in size to safely mark a spot for paracentesis. 2. large coarse echogenic liver, without focal lesions . chest xr : there is an endotracheal tube, whose distal tip is at the level of the clavicles. there is a right-sided central venous catheter with the distal tip in the svc. there has been interval placement of tube with the distal tip projecting over the pylorus. the inflated balloon of the tube is in the fundus of the stomach. there is a stent seen within the right upper quadrant consistent with the tips. there is complete opacification of the left lung with volume loss in this region. this may be secondary to large pleural effusion versus consolidation. the lateral half of the right chest has been excluded from the study. there is vascular congestion in the visualized portions of the right lung.tips revision embolization of varices arising from the splenic vein using a total of 38 coils (the varices rise from the coronary vein and two branches of the splenic vein). balloon dilation of the tips with a 10-mm angioplasty balloon. significantly increased flow through the tips and decreased variceal flow. . abd us patent tips with velocities ranging

hospital course: 41 yo man with dm, htn, alcoholic cirrhosis with new variceal bleed admitted on . . #. gi bleed: in the micu the pt continued to have hematemesis despite octreotide and protonix iv but an initial egd did not show any active bleed therefore further sclerosing was deferred. due to extend of the both esophageal and gastric varices an urgent transjugular intrahepatic portal systemic shunt was placed on the . which intially did not show sufficient flow but was then successfully revised on the with reduction of a pressure gradient between the portal vein and the right atrium. also, successful embolization of coronary vein varix. then reocclussion and revision on the . the pt continued to have hematemesis and tube was inserted on the and subsequently removed on the b/o stabilization. octreotide was discontinued. a repeat egd on the showed varices at the middle third of the esophagus and lower third of the esophagus as well as varices at the fundus. otherwise normal egd to stomach antrum. it was determined that there was still high risk for rebleeding. because of rebleeding that day another egd was done and 2 bands were placed without cessation of bleeding. octreotide was restarted. probe was reinserted and a revision of the tips was performed on the same day. a coiling procedure to embolize bleeding vessels was performed. the pt stabilized and the was removed on the . octreotide was continued. the pt had a mild oozing of blood on the but was stable since then. octerotide was discontinued on the . the pt did not have any evidence of bleeding since the . the pt received a total of 40 u of fresh frozen plasma, 24 u of prbc in addition to the 7u received at the osh and 9u of platelets throughout his stay in the icu. nadolol was started on the . the pt continued to be trace guaiac positive, but did not have any more signs of gross bleeding. the hematocrit continued to trend down slowly, which was attributed rather to hemolysis in the context of liver disease than to low grade gi bleed. the pt has a very high risk of rebleeding given the extend of his disease. the pt??????s family was made aware of severity of pt's condition. the pt has not required any blood transfusions since and has maintained a stable hematocrit since then. . # bp/hypotension: the patient is hypertensive at baseline. he was found to have episodes of hypotension requiring levophed in the context of severe blood loss and later sepsis. adrenal insufficiency along with hepatic failure/anasarca/ hypoalbuminism were thought to be contributing in the etiology. there was no evidence of a cardiac event. patient cortisol level on am was only 13.7 and patient underwent high dose steroid course for 5 days (hydrocortisone/ fludrocortisone) that allowed his bp to return to normal and he was weaned off levophed. gib and sepsis was treated as above and the pt??????s bp stabilized. patient while in icu was maintained at a goal cvp of 9, with a bp goal 90-130. with resolution of his gib and sepsis, patient became more hypertensive despite diuresis. his hypertension was managed with captopril and amlodipine. nadolol was added also for prevention of variceal bleed. hypertensive medications were titrated up for further for optimal control. . # id ?????? while in the micu the pt also suffered from a ventilator associated mrsa pneumonia which was treated with vancomycin for two weeks. subsequently he developed a central line related vre infection resulting into sepsis, successfully treated with a course of linezolid of seven days after removal of the line. during the sepsis pt intermittently required levophed for hypotension as above. pt was also treated with piperacillin and tazobactam for suspected sbp although a paracentesis was never performed due to the persistently small amount of ascites after the initial drainage during the tips procedure. as the pt became afebrile and no evidence of sbp was found he was continued on prophylactic ciprofloxacin which was later stopped. echocardiogram performed on did not show any evidence of endocarditis. . #. alcoholic cirrhosis: patient with significant disease and varices, and very poor prognosis. hepatitis serologies were negative. not a transplant candidate per hepatology service, but needs to be reevaluated. sw consult was obtained for family coping with poor prognosis. patient with uptrending bilirubin and inr throughout the inital micu course most likely in the context of gib and sepsis. as the overwhole status improved and the gib and sepsis resolved the total bilirubin stabilized and then slowly trended down. the pt was severly encephalopathic in the context of the liver failure especially after the placement of the tips. he was started on lactulose to achieve bm a day and subsequently was also started in rifaximin. vit k was given without substantial effect on the pt??????s coagulation factors. a total of 40 u of fresh frozen plasma and 9u of platelets were given throughout the active episodes of gib. the pt was initially given tpn and was subsequently switched to tube feedings through doboff. with improving mental status the pt was switched to oral intake and the doboff was removed. . # hypoxia/respirator dependance ?????? prolonged intubation period even after resolution of gib and line-related sepsis was attributed to pneumonia, atelectasis and fluid overload. patient was gradually diuresed with lasix prn and lasix gtt. he was treated with vanco/linezolid as above. due to long intubation period (>2 weeks) and his persistent requirement for peep, patient underwent evaluation for tracheostomy placement by ip. however he was able to tolerate a trial of cpap well and subsequently was successfully extubated on only requiring intermittent cpap aferwards. patient continued to require oxygen support that was gradually weaned off along with further diuresis and improvement in his pneumonia and atelectasis. . #. dm: patient was on insulin drip while intubated. he was converted to a sliding scale on with nph 30 units in the morning and 10 units at night and was then further adjusted for tight glucose control. given his stable finger sticks, oral agents can be restarted soon after discharge. . # arf: patient had intermittent elevated cr during hospitalization. ddx included hepatorenal vs prerenal. fena<1%, with una low of 14. patient was started on octreotide and midodrine with mild improvement of renal function. patient tolerated diuresis well with good uo, his max cr was 1.4. midodrine was d/c along with levophed as patient renal function improved. arf subsequently resolved. . # # l arm inabilitiy to elevate: most likely axillar neuropathy from fall prior to presentation. no further diagnostic tests necessary at this point. will need aggressive pt. the pt will follow up with neurology clinic as an outpatient. medications on admission: pervacid metoformin glucotrol lisinopril lactulose lexapro discharge

negative by level. utox and stox panels negative (including for asa). attributed to hyperkalemia. diabetes/non-ketotic hyperglycemic hyperkalemic hyperosmolar state (326 mosms) given insulin and kayelexate with resolution, later supplementation with potassium containing fluids as potassium fell below 5. this state was responsible for hyperkalemia and bradycardia, hypotension and presentation. cardiac rhythmicity normal with correction of potassium and glucose. secondary to very poorly controlled hyperglycemia of diabetes ii. have been elevated for some time, per pcp, now dramatic enough to become symptomatic. hemoglobin glycosylation is time dependent, so a1c should reflect poor control and chronicity more than this acute event and is 11, suggesting average glucose of 280 mg/dl. diabetes patient will be followed by , which will be very important for his care. dm management will be critical to prevent further bradycardic arrest and other complications. given a1c, likely glucose is about 280 on average (estimated). he has been taking oral anti-hyperglycemics along with standing 70/30 (14 units ) and sliding scale. this will need final titration in rehab. oral anti-hyperglycemics may be increased. hypertension hypotensive on arrival. hypotension appeared somewhat out of proportion to bradycardia. but became hypertensive (likely baseline) with pacing. aimed for sbp > 110, given risk of cerebral hypoperfusion in this patient, while intubated and sedated. antihypertensives will need to be titrated. acute renal failure likely secondary to diabetes. improved somewhat while here and now likely at baseline. would recommend tight glucose control and following of urinary protein. hand pain likely due to venous insufficiency, particularly given swelling, pain, erythema. neurologically intact, arteries intact by doppler. non-occlusive thrombus in basilic vein. he can follow-up with neurology as an outpatient to charge improvement. coronary artery disease two vessel disease, likely without stents. ischemic etiology possible, particularly if sinus node infarcted. however, enzymes are presently flat. lvef 55% in , but may be less now. no intervention - inactive while here. needs asa and cardiology follow-up in future. medications on admission: patient appears to have been taking (based on friend, pcp and cath. report): (per pcp from ) lisinopril 10mg daily hctz 25mg daily gyburide 10mg glucophage 500mg gemfibrozil 600mg daily crestor 10mg daily allopurinol 100mg daily -- not compliant per pcp, not taking any of the following: -

a left anterior fascicular block and a possible anteroseptal infarct and nonspecific st-t wave changes. please refer to the ekg dated . prior to surgery white count rose slightly to 8.0 with a hematocrit of 38.0 and a platelet count of 241,000. a ptt rose also to 128.8 on heparin with appropriate adjustments made. urinalysis was negative. creatinine remained stable on the evening prior to surgery at 1.4. patient was also switched by ccu staff from lisinopril to captopril preoperatively and on , the patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times four with intra-aortic balloon pump by dr. with a lima to the lad, a vein graft to om-1, vein graft to om-2, and vein graft to the rca. the patient was transferred to the cardiothoracic icu in stable condition on a milrinone drip at 0.2 mcg/kg/minute, epinephrine drip at 0.05 mcg/kg/minute, a neo-synephrine drip at 1 mcg/kg/minute, and a propofol drip that was titrated. on postoperative day one, the patient received 1 unit of packed red blood cells and 1 unit of ffp to correct coagulopathy. the patient remained on epinephrine drip at 0.03, insulin at 6 units an hour, neo-synephrine at 3.2, and propofol at 30. he was in sinus rhythm at 104 with a blood pressure of 99/50 and a t max of 102.2 saturating 98 percent still on the ventilator with a cardiac index of 2.63 with an intra-aortic balloon pump in place, remained intubated. his lungs were clear bilaterally, but with decreased breath sounds at the bases. abdomen is soft. he had plus peripheral edema and a plan for the day was to followup his platelet count, which did not come back at the time his other laboratory results. his creatinine dropped slightly to 1.3 with a plan to try and wean his balloon, pull it out, and start to wean him from the ventilator. he was also seen by the cardiology staff, dr. from the heart failure team. on postoperative day two, patient received another unit of packed red blood cells. hematocrit rose to 26.2. neo- synephrine was changed over to levophed drip at 0.15 mcg/kg/minute. patient remained on milrinone drip at 0.25 mcg/kg/minute. creatinine remained stable at 1.3. patient had coarse breath sounds bilaterally, but was neurologically awake and moving all four extremities, saturating 97 percent on 3 liters, extubated. his hematocrit also remained stable. he was also seen by the case management team. on postoperative day three, intra-aortic balloon pump had been discontinued. platelet count rose slightly from 60 to 69,000. patient continued the lasix diuresis, had a cardiac index of 2.2, and a mixed venous of 72 percent. he still had decreased breath sounds at the bases, but his exam is otherwise unremarkable with 1 plus peripheral edema and incisions were clean, dry, and intact. he continued with lasix diuresis. his milrinone was cut in half to 0.125. chest tubes were discontinued. the patient was encouraged to get out of bed and work with physical therapy and incentive spirometry. patient remained in the icu on postoperative day four. patient remained hemodynamically stable, blood pressure of 103/46. patient's creatinine dropped slightly to 1.1. his exam is otherwise unremarkable. patient was encouraged to have increased pulmonary toilet. he was saturating 98 percent on 2 liters. he remained on milrinone at 0.01. his chest tubes had some bibasilar crackles, but his examination was otherwise unremarkable. he remained in the cardiothoracic icu. on postoperative day five, he received 1 unit of packed red blood cells transfusion for a hematocrit, which then rose to 32.8. he was negative 1.5 liters. he continued with a small anterior crackles at his bases. he had 2 plus peripheral edema. his milrinone was at 0.625. he continued on lasix diuresis. was started on carvedilol 3.125 mg twice a day. his creatinine continued to drop to 1.0. he was neurologically alert and oriented. he still had some coarse breath sounds bilaterally. his milrinone was weaned off on postoperative day six, his foley was discontinued. he continued to be followed by case management and also the heart failure team. his swan was discontinued on postoperative day seven. he continued to have an unremarkable exam with incisions looking good other than decreased breath sounds at its bases. he continued with diuresis saturating 95 percent on 2 liters nasal cannula and a stable creatinine at 1.0, and he was transferred to the floor. he was restarted on a statin and his ace inhibitor was advanced also. a minor complication was reported on day of transfer. the patient had a small ulceration at the meatus of his urethra secondary to foley catheter irritation. the patient was given triple antibiotic therapy three times a day to use at the tip of the meatus. the team was aware. by the next day, the patient had a 21-beat run of arrhythmia with a ventricular rate at 90 beats per minute. he was asymptomatic and denied any dizziness or palpitations at the time and had no syncope at the time. it is unclear from the handwriting what the arrhythmia was. pacing wires were removed on . patient remained back in sinus rhythm and on postoperative day eight, the patient had that single event of a 21 beat nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. his exam was otherwise unremarkable. his creatinine rose slightly back to 1.4, which was his baseline when he came into the hospital. he was seen by the electrophysiology service, who would like to see the patient one month as an outpatient and repeat his echocardiogram and do a holter monitor study. patient was encouraged to ambulate and his wires were removed without incident. he was doing well with by mouth pain control. had an episode of hypotension at 6:30 in the morning on the

be in stable condition. the plan was for serial hematocrits to follow if there was any bleeding and to continue her on iv fluids and npo. on hospital day #3, the patient continued in the icu, doing well, was afebrile, and vital signs were stable. patient's hematocrit had trended down to 25 and of note, white blood cell count had also trended down to 11.8. patient continued to be stating that her abdominal pain had felt improved. there was less distention. patient had bowel sounds. on hospital day #3, it was determined that the patient would be stable enough to be transferred to the floor. upon transfer to the floor later on that evening, patient was on telemetry and was receiving 2 units of packed red blood cells. repeat hematocrit showed her hematocrit to be 32.4, however, it was discovered to have a large malonic looking bowel movement. patient also become hypotensive with a systolic blood pressure of 74 and heart rate from the 80s to 120s. fluid resuscitation was initiated. a left subclavian central venous catheter was placed, and patient was retransferred to the icu. patient had two additional units of packed red blood cells transfused. patient was awake, tachypneic, but appeared overall stable. blood gas drawn showed the patient had a ph of 7.27, pco2 of 29, po2 of 182, a bicarb of 14, and a base access of -11. emergent egd was requested by the gi service, and it was felt that the patient would likely require intubation for egd. two large bore ivs were also established and close hemodynamic monitoring was obtained within an arterial line and cvp. the patient had a foley in place. serial hematocrits were to be drawn and the patient was to be transfused to keep hematocrits and coags in normal limits. this event was discussed with dr. . patient was seen by gi, and a nasogastric lavage was performed, which showed bright red blood. patient later on that evening passed considerable amount of melena, and was found to be hypotensive with blood pressure of 80/50 and heart rate of 120. an egd was performed which showed blood in the antrum and pylorus, an ulcer in the antrum which was nonbleeding, blood in the second part of the duodenum, third part of the duodenum, and no actively bleeding lesions in the stomach or duodenum that were potentially treatable during endoscopy. patient had to receive 6 units of blood and 4 units of ffp, and continued to have decreases in her hematocrit. it was felt then by dr. that the patient should proceed directly to the operating room in an attempt to gain control of the bleeding. patient was taken to the operating room in which an antrectomy, splenectomy, vagotomy, partial pancreatectomy, and billroth-ii anastomosis was performed. the patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the pacu intubated and placed on icu status. on postoperative day one, the patient was intubated, sedated, and responsive. patient was afebrile. blood pressure was stable and heart rate was in the 80s and 90s with a cvp of 18. patient was continued on a ventilator to monitor blood gases. the patient had received a total of 7 units of crystalloid, 10 units of packed red blood cells, 6 units of ffp, 1 unit of cryoprecipitate, 2 units of platelets with an estimated blood loss of 6 liters. the patient had been adequately resuscitated and was very positive, so therefore it was felt it would be best to keep patient intubated. patient was also kept sedated on a propofol drip. patient's postoperative course in the intensive care unit was marked by gradual diuresis of volume. patient's vital signs remained stable and patient's blood gases remained stable while she was intubated. patient was slowly weaned off the vent and tolerated the weaning well. hemodynamically, the patient experienced some episodes of hypertension, however, this was controlled and was felt to be related to pain. the patient was diuresed over several days and tolerated this well. patient had tube feeds started and tolerated tube feedings well. patient's nasogastric tube was removed. patient was following commands, and overall had an uneventful icu course. on postoperative day #7, the patient was transferred from the icu to the floor. patient was stable, was afebrile, and vital signs were all within normal limits. patient was on 2 liters of oxygen by nasal cannula and had significantly dropped from her postoperative weight to 88.4 kg. patient had been diuresing in the unit well, and was continued on p.o. lasix. patient was also continued on p.o. medicines. patient was on tube feeds by the j tube and the duodenostomy was left open to gravity. patient's tube feeds were 1/2 strength impact at 70 cc/hour. on postoperative day #8, the patient was seen by case management and physical therapy. physical therapy was working with the patient to ambulate and get her out of bed. case management discussed rehab with the patient, and it was determined that the patient would follow up with rehab somewhere close to her home. on postoperative day #10, the patient was continued on tube feeds at 70 cc/hour. the patient was started on a diet and was eating small bits of full liquids. patient was begun on trials of clamping her duodenostomy tube, and tolerated clampings well. patient was being seen by physical therapy, and being screened for rehab. on postoperative day #11, the patient was tolerating tube feeds well. patient had been afebrile with stable vital signs. was taking more of a diet. calories were obtained, and patient was identified that her nutrition would be something she will need to work on in rehab. patient was being seen by physical therapy and was ambulating well with assistance and with a walker. patient had been screened by rehab and rehab facility in had been selected. the patient was off of iv fluids and was taking all of her oral pain medicines and oral lasix. on postoperative day #12, it was felt that the patient would be suitable for transport to rehab. patient was tolerating clamping of duodenostomy tube 3/4 hours. patient was ambulating well with physical therapy and was working on obtaining a regular diet. the patient had been having normal bowel movements. the patient's laboratories had been normal with a normal white count and a normal hematocrit. patient will be transported to rehab for work of her nutrition status and physical therapy. patient will be leaving with a duodenostomy tube, which will be clamped. the feeding jejunostomy tube and will follow up with dr. in his clinic in weeks. of note, the patient had two - drains placed in the operating room. these drained serosanguinous fluid from postoperative day one through postoperative day 11. on postoperative day 11, the - drains were removed. the patient's diet will consist of a regular diet of soft solids and tube feeds at 70 cc/hour cycled overnight. the patient will have drain care, physical therapy, and nutrition at rehab. discharge medications: 1. metoprolol 25 mg p.o.

mr. was admitted to the medical center on and underwent a cardiac catheterization. this revealed an 80% stenosed left main coronary artery, an 80% stenosed left anterior descending artery, a 90% stenosed right coronary artery and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction. heparin was started for anticoagulation. due to the severity of his disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical revascularization. mr. was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to three vessels. postoperatively, he was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. on postoperative day one, mr. neurologically intact and was extubated. neo-synephrine continued for hypotension. the endocrinology service was consulted in regards to his difficultly coming off pressors and a thyroid study and cortisol levels were sent. he was gently diuresed towards his preoperative weight. he was transfused with packed red blood cells for postoperative anemia. the physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with his postoperative strength and mobility. his drains and epicardial pacing wires were removed per protocol. an echocardiogram was obtained which ruled out any evidence of tamponade. ultimately his neo synephrine was weaned off. on postoperative day eight, mr. was transferred to the step down unit for further recovery. his cortisol level returned mildly elevated at 27.7 micrograms per deciliter and his thyroid studies showed a mildly elevated free t4 and a low thyroid stimulating hormone on synthroid. follow-up thyroid studies were recommended in 2 to 4 weeks as an outpatient. mr. continued to make steady progress and was discharged home

mitral regurgitation is seen. 6. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. 7.there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. 8. significant pulmonic regurgitation is seen. 9.there is no pericardial effusion. brief hospital course: f mitral regurg, probable diastolic dysfunction intially admitted with delirium probably secondary to hyponatremia, poor po intake, and severe pain l1 compression fracture. in detail: 1. hyponatremia: pt. initially presented with na of 112. she was given ns which precipitated volume overload and pulmonary edema secondary to diastolic dysfunction and mitral regurgitation. she subsequently had an episode of hypotension overdiuresis and was transferred to the icu. volume was allowed to reequilibrate, and the patient's sodium improved with fluid restriction and a small amount of hypertonic saline. this was therefore thought to be as a result of combination siadh as well as hypovolemic hyponatremia. 2. compression fracture: an mri showed a compression fracture of the l1 vertebra with retropulsion and 50% narrowing of central portion of the spinal canal, moderate spinal stenosis at l4-5 level due to disc and facet degenerative changes. she may be a candidate for future kyphoplasty. for the time being she has been fitted with a tlso brace. her pain regimen was tailored during her stay. pt. was able to ambulate with pt. 3. falls: we reduced the patients narcotics dose and she was evaluated by pt. she continued her rehabilitation at the house. 4. heart failure: the patient's pulmonary edema is resolving. her echo reveals a ef55%

Medical Report: history of present illness: mr. is a 50-year-old gentleman status post mva in with a left carotid injury. the patient is status post carotid reimplantation. previous operative records are unavailable for this procedure. the patient was referred to thoracic clinic two weeks prior to admission complaining of worsening hoarseness, new onset left arm numbness and tingling. ct scan at outside hospital showed a large mediastinal mass. mri on showed a complex pseudoaneurysm rising from the anterior aspect of the ascending aorta with deviation of the trachea and superior vena cava to the right. the patient was admitted to for evaluation of the pseudoaneurysm. past medical history: 1) status post cva in the distribution of left mca after initial carotid surgery with residual right hemiparesis. 2) status post mva in . 3) status post left carotid repair in . 4) status post right knee surgery in . 5) status post appendectomy. 6) history of seizure disorder. 7) history of depression. 8) history of remote etoh abuse. 9) two year history of weight loss. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: dilantin 200 mg po bid q o d alternating with 200 mg po q a.m. and 300

patient is afebrile, pulse 93, sinus rhythm, blood pressure 142/71, room air oxygen saturation 99%. the patient is a cachectic, chronically ill appearing gentleman in no apparent distress. heent: unremarkable. carotids without bruits. cardiovascular, regular rate and rhythm, 2/6 systolic ejection murmur throughout precordium. lungs clear to auscultation. abdomen soft, nontender, non distended. extremities without edema. left upper extremity without a brachial or radial pulse. patient's weight on admission noted to be 43 kg. white blood count 8.8, hematocrit 39, platelet count 311,000, sodium 136, potassium 3.7, chloride 96, co2 27, bun 6, creatinine 0.9. echocardiogram showed preserved lv function without significant valvular pathology. ho course: the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for strict blood pressure control. the patient was started on esmolol drip. arterial catheter was placed for blood pressure monitoring. on the patient underwent a thoracic aortogram which showed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the interior ascending aorta. the left subclavian artery filled via cross net collaterals. the left internal carotid arteries filled retrograde via the circle of . there was an occluded origin of the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. on hospital day #4 vascular surgery was consulted for a possible left femoral axillo bypass to restore flow to the left upper extremity. on hospital day #5 the patient underwent a thoracic and abdominal aortogram to assess patency of lower extremity vasculature. the thoracic aortogram showed a 2 cm pseudoaneurysm arising from the ascending aorta. the abdominal aortogram showed fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of right common iliac with diffuse ectasia of left common iliac artery, left femur bony abnormality which was likely myositis ossificans and no significant lower extremity atherosclerotic disease. after patient returned from the test, the patient was transferred to the floor. on the patient was taken to the operating room for a left femoral axilla bypass graft by vascular surgery. please see operative note for further details. the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit after the procedure in stable condition with palpable radial and dorsalis pedis pulses. on hospital day #7, , a gi consult was obtained for placement of a peg secondary to patient's poor nutritional status. the patient's albumin at that time was noted to be 3.0 and he was 62% of his ideal body weight. on a peg was placed without difficulty by gi service. at that time a biopsy of the second portion of duodenum was obtained and sent. that specimen was within normal limits. the egd showed a normal esophagus, normal stomach and normal duodenum. after placement of the peg, the patient was transferred to the floor. tube feeds were started via the peg and patient was started on high caloric po intake. repair of the pseudoaneurysm was postponed until later that month to improve patient' nutritional status. physical therapy was consulted to work with patient, increase ambulation. during the two weeks that the patient remained in the hospital, inspite of full nutritional support, patient's weight remained flat between 43 and 45 kg. on the patient was transferring himself from the bed to the chair and sustained a fall, subsequently complained of a headache with a non focal neurologic exam. cat scan was obtained of his head secondary to the fall. the cat scan showed no evidence of an acute bleed or acute process and a large left side region of encephalomalacia corresponding to a large old infarct in the distribution of the left mca. on the patient was taken to the operating room for repair of his ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm by dr. . please see operative note for further details. the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit intubated and in stable condition after the procedure. cultures were taken in the operating room from the area of the pseudoaneurysm which were negative for any growth. portions of the pseudoaneurysm were sent for pathology evaluation which showed fragments of organized thrombus with chronic inflammation, otherwise negative. the patient was weaned and extubated on postoperative day #1, hemodynamically stable. chest tubes were removed on postoperative day #2. the patient remained in the intensive care unit for diuresis and blood pressure control. the patient was transferred to the floor on postoperative day #3. postoperative day #4 the patient had a witnessed tonic clonic seizure lasting between 1 and 3 minutes. the patient was given valium, intubated and transferred to the sicu where he had another tonic clonic seizure, again lasting between 1 and 3 minutes. the patient was administered ativan at this time. patient's dilantin level upon admission to the intensive care unit was 8.7. a bolus of dilantin was given and a neuro consult was obtained. the patient was weaned and extubated on the evening of postoperative day #4. the patient was transferred to the floor on postoperative day #5 with a dilantin level of 14. the patient was restarted on his tube feeds and physical therapy was resumed. the patient was reported to be intermittently more lethargic but easily arousable and oriented. on , postoperative day #8, the patient again with a witnessed tonic clonic seizure, again patient was intubated and transferred to the sicu after being treated with ativan and given extra dilantin. the patient was easily weaned and extubated later that day. neurology consult recommended resuming patient's preoperative dosing of dilantin which was done and resuming patient's preoperative klonopin to control breakthrough seizures. the patient was transferred to the floor later that day. on postoperative day #9 the patient fell, getting himself out of a chair and subsequently complained of right knee pain. an orthopedic consult was obtained. x-ray of his right knee was obtained which showed a patellar defect and avulsion of the proximal medial pole. orthopedics felt that no treatment was necessary since the patient was subsequently asymptomatic and the patient had a history of previous right knee trauma. on postoperative day #11 in the early morning the patient was noted to have increased work of breathing and a decreased oxygen saturation. chest x-ray was obtained which showed moderate to large right pneumothorax. chest tube was placed with resolution of most of the pneumothorax with exception of a small residual right apical pneumothorax. chest tube had a positive air leak. the patient's hypoxia and work of breathing resolved. the chest tube was placed to water seal the next day. chest x-ray obtained that evening showed again a moderate pneumothorax. chest tube was placed back on suction with a moderate air leak. during this time patient noted to have more frequent periods of disorientation and lethargy alternating with periods of agitation and alternating with periods of flat affect. on postoperative day #13 a psychiatry consult was obtained for question of worsening depression. psychiatry felt that the mental status changes were due to an adjustment disorder and/or delirium secondary to multiple medical problems and recommended discontinuing patient's elavil. on postoperative day #15 the patient was found to be more lethargic. the patient was noted to be jaundiced. abg was obtained which showed ph 7.35, pco2 74, po2 71, co2 43. the patient was transferred to the sicu and intubated for work of breathing and elevated pco2. upon admission to the intensive care unit, white blood cell count was noted to be 18.2, total bilirubin 9.3, dilantin level was 11.9, free dilantin level was 2.7 which was thought to be toxic. his ammonia level was 54. his pt was 11. his alkaline phosphatase was 254, his amylase 27, lipase 8. upon admission to the intensive care unit the patient underwent bronchoscopy secondary to increased secretions. bronchoscopy showed thick secretions in the right middle and right lower lobe. specimen was sent for culture which subsequently grew staph aureus sensitive to oxacillin. the patient underwent ultrasound of his right upper quadrant which showed common bile duct 4 mm, no intrahepatic ductal dilatation, a normal gallbladder with no wall thickening. chest x-ray was consistent with a right middle and right lower lobe infiltrate. the patient was started on broad spectrum antibiotics. gi was reconsulted for the elevated bilirubin. the patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout. on , postoperative day #16, the patient underwent another bronchoscopy which showed profuse and tenuous secretions bilaterally, again specimen was sent for culture, white blood cell count was noted to be decreased at 11.4, total bilirubin increased at 9.8 with a direct bilirubin of 8.2. dilantin level 11.9. the patient developed a fever of 102.3, again cultures were sent. it was felt that patient's symptoms could be attributed to dilantin toxicity and a right middle and lower lobe pneumonia. the patient was started on actigall 300 mg po bid per the recommendation of gi. tube feeds were restarted. the patient underwent another bronchoscopy on postoperative day #17 which showed decreased secretions on the right side. the patient was weaned from the ventilator and extubated. the

sided weakness, ? stage iv gallbladder cancer, type ii dm, as who was admitted from rehab with dysphagia and agitation. gi is being asked to consult regarding peg tube placement. . in brief, patient was recently hospitalized at with hip fx complicated by acute onset left upper extremity weakness which was thought to be secondary to an acute cva. in the interim, she has had worsening coordination with swallowing, with residual food noted in the oropharynx. she was also noted to have a worsening cough, raising the concern for aspiration. . she had reportedly been tolerating a diet of thin liquids and pureed solids at rehab per her care worker, but due to the above concerns, she was evaluated by speech and swallow at rehab with subsequent recommendations to keep the patient npo. during current hospitalization, she has been re-evaluated by videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation which demonstrated moderate to severe oropharyngeal dysphagia. although speech and swallow have cleared her for a modified po diet, she is at risk of deterioration in swallowing function and malnutrition. after extensive conversation, the family and daughter, who is the hcp, wish to proceed with medical decisions to maximize longevity of life given religious beliefs. past medical history: 1. end stage alzheimers 2. breast cancer s/p bilateral mastectomy 3. ? cva in setting of hip fracture with new

impression: progression of chronic suggestion to now pulmonary edema in this -year-old female patient. covering house officers and covering were informed. brief hospital course: ms. is a yof with end-stage dementia, recent hip fracture and questionable cva, htn, dmii who was admitted with agitation and difficulty swallowing concerning for aspiration. 1. agitation/ams: while there was initial concern that she had altered mental status, conversations with her 24 hour care worker and daughter revealed that she was near her baseline of oriented x 1. intermittent agitation was controlled with po seroquel. the source of her agitation was not clear. cxr revealed a questionable rml infiltrate, which was treated as an aspiration pneumonia given low grade temps in the ed. her troponin was elevated to 0.06, though it was stable when trended without any signs of ischemia on ekg. her agitation was felt to be related to her end-stage alzheimer's disease, versus pain associated with her recent hip fracture, which was treated with iv morphine intermittently. while in the icu and extubated, geriatrics was consulted for help with her agitation as her qt was found to be prolonged on admission to the icu while being given several medications including haldol for control of her agitation. it was recommended to give standing seroquel (with prn doses for agitation), ativan prn for agitation, and pain control with standing tylenol and morphine concentrate soln prn. 2. aspiration risk: she presented with poor swallowing and po intake. due to aspiration risk, a cxr was obtained which showed an equivocal rml infiltrate. she was treated with unasyn for suspected aspiration pneumonia and was made npo. she failed a bedside swallow evaluation. the video swallow showed aspiration with nectars, but she managed honey-thick liquids and pureed solids. due to decreased po intake on this diet, her family strongly urged the medical staff to place a peg tube for added nutrition. it was explained on numerous occasions that such a measure would not prolong her life, and would not prevent aspiration. they remained certain of their decision and plans were made to pursue placement. after transfer to the icu an ethics consult was placed and a family meeting with the ethics team took place. it was felt that prolonging her life would be consistent with her wishes and a g-j tube was placed without complication on . 3. hypercarbic respiratory failure: she developed respiratory distress on hd5, with rr into the 30s, desaturation, and difficulty managing secretions. she could not maintain her sats on nrb (88-90%), and an abg showed respiratory failure with ph7.16 and pc02 of 60. she was subsequently transferred to the icu where she was intubated. she was treated with a 10 day course of unasyn for aspiration pna. she was extubated on , but very quickly started reaccumulating her secretions and became agitated with worsening respiratory function in the setting of a.fib with rvr so she was reintubated. discussion with the family regarding trach resulted in trach placement on (it was explained to the family that this would not prevent aspiration, but would only allow for easier suctioning and would prevent an ett from having to be replaced in the future). she was quickly weaned to a trach mask but continued to have intermittent episodes of respiratory distress requiring placement back on the ventilator, suctioning, and occasionally diuresis with 40mg iv lasix. cxr on the day of discharge showed lll opacity in the setting of aspriation the day prior to discharge. she was afebrile with a normal wbc so this was thought to be due to aspiration pneumonitis and not a clinical pna. 4. atrial fibrllation with rvr: the patient has no history of a.fib, but went into a.fib with rvr during suctioning when in respiratory distress. she did not respond to iv metoprolol so diltiazem was tried with improvement in her hr and she was transiently treated with a dilt gtt and then switched to an amiodarone gtt. on amio she converted to sinus rhythm. plan is to continue the amiodarone load - currently she is receiving 400mg po tid for planned 7 day course (ends ) with transition to 400mg po bid afterwards. further management per her primary care physician. 5. ekg changes: the patient had ekg changes concerning in the setting of respiratory distress for an acute cardiac event vs strain. her troponins were mildly elevated which was more consistent with strain. bnp was elevated and a tte was checked which showed mild aortic stenosis, mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction, mild right ventricular free wall hypokinesis, and moderate mitral regurgitation. she was intermittently diuresed with some improvement in her respiratory status. 6. positive blood culture: a single blood culture from the day of admission grew gram positive cocci on hd2. she was empirically started on vancomycin. surveillance culutres were repeatedly negative over the following 4 days. the culture grew staph epidermidis, which was felt to be a contaminant. vanco was subsequently stopped on hd4. access: picc in place. pulled back 2.5 cm the day of discharge as it was shown to be in the right atrium on cxr. this was not reimaged prior to leaving. communication: hcp and daughter, code: full code medications on

fascicular block. there is a late transition with anterior and anterolateral st-t wave changes consistent with possible prior anterior myocardial infarction. additional non-specific lateral st-t wave changes. compared to the previous tracing st-t wave changes are more marked and diffuse. chest port: impression: ap chest compared to : lung volumes are generally lower, suggesting that bilateral infrahilar consolidation is probably atelectasis. small left pleural effusion is new. there is no pleural effusion on the right or any indication of pneumothorax. right ij line ends at the junction of the brachiocephalic veins or upper svc. et tube and nasogastric tube are in standard placements. a 37 mm long straight metallic linear opacity projecting to the left of the neck is also present on subsequent study 4:43 a.m. on . we will resolve whether this is technical artifact or foreign body and advise the clinical service accordingly. chest port: findings: frontal chest radiograph is compared to the prior study from . the heart is enlarged. mediastinum is within normal limits. there is dense left lower lobe consolidation with moderate left-sided pleural effusion. there is mild congestive failure. these have increased since prior study. multiple leads project over the chest. the right ij catheter is no longer seen and may have been removed. kub: impression: 1. no evidence of free air to suggest perforation. 2. air-filled loops of large and small bowel are seen with distention of the small bowel concerning for postoperative ileus, though early partial small- bowel obstruction cannot be excluded. ct abd: impression: 1. imaging findings most suggestive of focal ileus involving portion of the pancreaticobiliary limb and proximal jejunum about duodenojejunal anastomotic site and near j-tube entrance. no fluid collection is noted about the blind-ending portion of the hepaticobiliary limb nor is there any extraluminal enteric contrast. a moderate amount of simple appearing ascites is present. oral contrast within the distal esophagus and stomach also suggests underlying esophageal/gastric ileus or dysmotility. 2. interval development of small bilateral simple pleural effusions with adjacent regions of lower lobe compressive atelectasis. 3. mild edema involving the base of the cecum of unclear etiology with no other findings of enteritis or colitis. ct abd: impression: interval increase and still small amount of air and fluid in the region of termination of the jp drains. no discrete collections or abscesses identified. thickening of the adjacent hepaticojejunostomy bowel loops may be secondary to underdistension. no evidence of small-bowel obstruction. chest port: findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is mild improvement of the pre-existing retrocardiac atelectasis. otherwise, the radiograph is unchanged. moderate cardiomegaly with enlargement of the left ventricle. mild residual pulmonary edema. minimal left pleural effusion. no newly occurred focal parenchymal opacities. nasogastric tube in unchanged position. chest port: findings: in comparison with the study of , there is little overall change. again, there are low lung volumes with atelectatic changes and effusion at the left base in the retrocardiac region. no definite vascular congestion or acute focal pneumonia. 9:55 am stool consistency: loose

suggested to ensure resolution. art ext (rest only) : severe bilateral multilevel arterial occlusive disease ct abd/pelvis : 1. extensive atherosclerotic disease in the visualized arteries and aorta. complete occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the takeoff of renal arteries, without opacification of contrast of the common or external iliac arteries. there is complete occlusion of proximal left subclavian artery and origin of splenic artery. common femoral arteries reconstitutes flow from inferior epigastric arteries. visualized portions of axillary arteries are patent. superficial profunda femoral arteries are patent bilaterally. 2. atrophic left kidney presenting with ischemia/infarction of lower pole. 3. bilateral pleural effusion, left more than right, associated with collapse of the left lower lobe. 4. multiple lung lesions, the largest one in right lower lobe that has developed rapidly since and suggest infectious process. a followup ct is recommended after resolution of acute process to evaluate for malignancy. 5. severe emphysema. 6. calcification in myocardium of the left ventricle suggests prior myocardial infarction. 7. patient is status post left hip fracture with open reduction and internal fixation. 8. diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis. 9. aneurysm of right common femoral artery. 10. liver abnormalities ...us recommended initially. brief hospital course: patient was admitted as a transfer to the vascular service for further eval and managament of le ulcers, likely caused by severe pvd. physical exam revealed extensive lle dry gangrene ulcers secondary to severe pvd. he also has a small dry gangrene ulcer on the right foot as well. the ulcers were painful to touch and had a small amount of erythema around the ucler edges. otherwise, there was no significant signs of lle cellulitis. no edema. lower ext arterial noninvasives showed significant monophasic waveforms at the common femoral and popliteal arteries bilaterally. the dp and pt were absent. pvrs also showed dampening of the waveforms in the thigh bilaterally, left worse than right. patient was consented and prepped for angiography for . patient received bicarb drip 6 hours before and after angio for a low gfr. he tolerated the procedure well, and the angio showed he had occluded external iliacs bilaterally with no access from the groins. he also underwent a cta which showed complete occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the takeoff of renal arteries, without opacification of contrast of the common or external iliac arteries. common femoral arteries reconstitutes flow from inferior epigastric arteries. visualized portions of axillary arteries are patent. superficial profunda femoral arteries are patent bilaterally. . at this point, it was determined that without a revascularization procedure, the gangrenous ulcers would not likely heal. his blood supply to his legs was from collaterals of his hypogastrics. a cardiology consult was obtained for pre-op purposes. he underwent an echo on which showed and ef of 20-25%, along with severely depressed regional left ventricular systolic function consistent with coronary artery disease. moderate diastolic function. moderate pulmonary hypertension. it was also found that an icd lead was fractured, and ep was consulted, who recommended fixing it down the line once his other issues resolved. he was pre-oped and consented for ax fem bypass on the right and underwent surgery on . he tolerated the procedure, but was transferred to the cv-icu post-op and was put on pressors to maintain his blood pressure, though it is known he has subclavian steal on the left so his pressures are underestimated in that arm. the next day, he was extubated, but over the afternoon, was found to have a large hematoma over his anterior chest wall. he went to the or urgently for evacuation of right anterior chest wall hematoma. he returned to the cvicu post-op and did well, and was extubated the next day. by , he was ready for transfer to the vicu. when he arrived in the vicu, he needed his cordis changed over, and shortly after, he developed sustained v tach requiring an amio drip. he was transferred to the ccu. . ccu/medicine floor course 84 yo male with history of atrial fibrillation, systolic heart failure, severe pvd pod5 of right axillary bypass, who was transferred to the ccu for treatment of wide complex tachycardia. . # wide complex tachycardia: as the rate of the tachycardia was regular and around 140s, the differential diagnosis included ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy including atrial flutter with aberrancy. pt has an icd which has a fractured lead, therefore not functioning. he was started on amiodarone drip at 2mg/min with effective resolution of tachycardia. pt was transitioned to po amiodarone and wct did not recur after this inital episode. he was also given beta blockers and his k and mg were repleted to keep a goal k 4 and mag 2. tamsulosin and lasix were held to prevent hypotension. electrophysiology was consulted for repair of the fractured aicd lead, but it was felt that patient was a poor candidate due to his multiple co-morbities and poor functional status. he will continue on amiodarone. . # cad: s/p anterior mi resulting in ischemic cardiomyopathy based on prior notes although no cardiac catheterization or ett in the system. continued aspirin and statin. . # chronic systolic heart failure: tte on this admission shows ef of 20-25% with grade 2 diastolic dysfunction. pt was euvolemic at ccu presentation and lasix was held during his ccu course. upon transfer out to the floor, pt was noted to have anasarca. pt was diuresed with iv lasix. continued home beta blocker and digoxin. . # pvd/dry gangrene of lle: vascular on board. vascular felt that this was not acutely infected and all antibiotics (vancomycin, cipro and flagyl) were discontinued . the necrotic left pinky toe is anticipated to self-amputate in the future. percocet elixir for pain control. wound care - dry guaze then wrap with kerlix daily. pt has a f/u with dr. of vsascular surgery. . # hyperlipidemia: continued statin . # spiculated masses seen on ct : repeat ct on showed that these changes are more consistent with infectious process rather than malignancy. however, pt was not having any active pna symptoms. wbc has decreased. afebrile. coughing stable with benign appearing sputum. ct changes may be indicative of a prior pna that have not fully resolved radiographically. - regardless broad spectrum antibiotics were continued until for toe gangrene per vascular surgery recs . # h/o copd/emphysema: pt was intermittently wheezy however he satted in mid-high 90s on room air. he was given albuterol and atrovent nebs with good effect. . # chronic renal failure: pt was at risk for atn due to contrast from vascular operations. cr hit the nadir at 1.1 however his prior baseline was 1.4-1.5. cr was stable at 1.4 at the time of discharge. renally dosed medications and avoided nephrotoxins. . # rue>lue swelling: at the side of the axillo-fem bypass. dvt was ruled out with negative u/s. it was thought to be related to post-operative state, and the swelling improved with diuresis. . # sacral decub/ leg ulcers: stage 2-3. ~10 cm round area with necrotic center. - turned patient

catheter placement and removal history of present illness: mr. is a 43yo male presenting status post 0.5-1 pint of antifreeze ingestion around 3pm. over the last two weeks the patient has felt like people were following and targeting him. he has had decreased sleep (1-2 hrs/night), decreased appetite, diarrhea, heart palpitations, and lb weight loss over the last 1-2 weeks. a month and a half ago he tried chantix for two weeks to help him quit smoking, but he found that he was angrier on the drug and had 'less of a filter' in what he said so he stopped taking it. this am he was on his way to work when he thought that people were following him- seeing the same cars etc. he drove to a radio tower and climbed it hoping to jump off, but he climbed back down, drove to a gas station and bought gatorade and antifreeze (green, unknown brand). at his birth mother's cemetery he drank ~10 oz of antifreeze in his car until his wife tracked him down and took him to the ed. in the ed and had

obtained with patient in upright position. ekg electrodes and cables as well as multiple onvoluted cables are overlying the chest and right axillary area. chest findings are grossly normal on this single chest view. no pneumothorax is identified. a right internal jugular approach central venous line terminates in the right mediastinal structures at the level of the carina. this is compatible with the position in the mid portion of the svc. our records do not include any previous chest examination available for comparison. referring physician was paged as requested. brief hospital course: 43m who presented with antifreeze ingestion after more than a week of paranoia with metabolic acidosis and serum osm gap. # polyethylene glycol ingestion: presented with anion gap acidosis/osm gap secondary to ethylene glycol ingestion. at an outside ed he had an osm gap of 67, ph 7.34 and received 1.1g fomepizole. on admission he had a mild acidosis (abg ph 7.39 co2 28 o2 86) with ag 14 and low bicarb (18) suggesting that it is a metabolic acidosis with some respiratory alkalosis (expected pco2 with bicarb of 18 is 33-37). per toxicology, acidosis was mild because adh was blocked fairly early in course by fomepizole administration, which he was given at osh and again at er. he completed a course of cofactors (folic acid, thiamine and pyridoxine) to optimize non toxic metabolites. tox screen for ethanol, acetaminophen, asa, benzos, barbits, and tcas negative. since ph >7.3, bicarbonate therapy was not necessary. on admission ethylene glycol level was ~300 mg/dl on admission so a right ij line was places and he received hemodialysis. the osm gap closed to 5 after dialysis but the ethylene glycol level remained elevated at 50 (>20 toxic) so he received fomepizole after hemodialysis. his osm gap increased to 10 that evening and decreased to ~3 on . ethylene glycol level was 32 at this point and he got another session of hemodialysis on . he received his final dose of fomepizole on evening of . his ethylene glycol on was 1.4mg/dl, at which point he was medically cleared for discharge. # elevated lactate: on admission the lactate was 5.3. this likely was a false elevation of lactate since the assay can be falsely positive in the presence of glycoate, one of the metabolites of ethylene glycol. lactate decreased to 1.2 after dialysis and remained low at 0.8 the next morning. # leukocytosis: on admission he had a wbc 13.4 with normal diff and no bands. he was afebrile and did not have any history to suggest an infection. without intervention the wbc decreased to normal at discharge. the elevation was likely due to a stress response in the setting of a stressful few weeks and attempted suicide. # suicide attempt: patient presented to osh and reported antifreeze ingestion. he reported a history of behavioral changes and paranoia over last two weeks. a month and a half before admission he had tried chantix for two weeks in an attempt to quite smoking but he found that it made him angry and made his behavior less inhibited when he was talking. psychiatry was consulted and he was placed on section 12. on admission he stated that he no longer had any suicidal ideation. he does not have a known psychiatric history. psychiatry was consulted and thought that this represented a major depressive episode possibly with pschotic features since he reports paranoia about people following and targeting him. some interaction between marijuana cessation and chantix with stress is suspected to have driven his transient psychosis. he was discharged to a psychiatric facility for ongoing care. pending tests at discharge: none # transitional issues: -psychiatric evaluation -eventual smoking cessation -pcp followup following discharge medications on admission: none discharge medications: none discharge disposition: extended care facility: hospital - discharge diagnosis: polyethylene glycol ingestion suicide attempt discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: dear mr. , you were admitted to the hospital after ingesting antifreeze, which is a potentially deadly condition. you were agressively treated in the intensive care unit with an antidote called fomepizole and hemodialysis, which were both extremely effective at purifying your blood. you are medically quite healthy now. because of your suicide attempt, you are being discharged to receive psychiatric care at an inpatient facility. we have made no changes to your medicines. we wish you the very best of luck, mr. ! followup instructions: please followup with dr. when you are discharged from your facility. procedure: hemodialysis venous
