Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Penicillins / Bactrim
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2736**]
Chief Complaint:
fall
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Single lead [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Hospital 923**] Medical Identity ADx SR 5180
History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a [**Age over 90 **] yo female h/o dementia, hypertension,
osteoporosis who presented to [**Hospital1 43650**] s/p fall at [**Hospital3 **].
She was found down in bathroom with wet floor and did not recall
what happened. She initially complained of left knee pain and
was found to have left eye hematoma. She denied head injury/LOC
and had normal head imaging in the ED. Additionally with
unremarkable C/T/L spine, bilaterall knee xray, and CXR in ED.
The patient was initially placed in observation and plan was to
have PT and case managment see her and then send her back to
assissted living.
However, in the ED around 8 AM she became bradycarduc to 30s,
asystolic, and pulseless. A few compressions were delivered and
the patient had ROSC, no shock was delivered. After a 7 second
pause she went back in to sinus rhythm. The patient was unable
to describe how she felt, however was back to her baseline
mental status within 1-2 minutes. She had no complaints or
recollection of the event. She responded to questions and said
she felt "lousy", but could not provide more details.
Of note the patient visited [**Hospital1 18**] ED for mechanical fall on [**8-14**]
and was also admitted for mechanical fall in [**2161-8-20**].
Most recent previous admission [**2162-6-20**] for E. Coli Septicemia
likely secondary to Cholangitis c/b pancreatitis that resolved
with antibiotics and conservative management.
In the ED the patient received ASA 300mg PR and oxycodone. Prior
to transfer to CCU the patient was hemodynamically stable with
VS T 97.7, HR 68, BP 128/51, RR 20, 99% on RA.
On arrival to the floor, patient reports that her bladder hurts
since the foley was placed. She denies pain. She denies CP, SOB,
palpitations, dizziness/lightheadedness. She reports that she is
at the hosptial because she fell, but can not provide other
details.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS:
Postive for achy joints and frequency of urination. Negative for
dysuria.
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. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the
other review of systems were negative.

Images:
CT Head [**10-10**]: 1. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or
fractures.
2. New opacification of the left mastoid air cells and middle
ear cavity, please correlate with signs of infection.
CT C-Spine [**10-10**]: No acute cervical spine fracture. Multilevel
moderate-to-severe degenerative changes of the cervical spine,
worse at C4-C5 level.
CT L-Spine [**10-10**]: 1. No new lumbar spine fracture. Stable
compression of L2 and L3 vertebral bodies.
2. Multilevel severe degenerative changes of the lumbar spine,
worse at L3-L4 level with moderate spinal canal stenosis.
CT T-Spine [**10-10**]: No acute thoracic spine fracture. Mild
compression of the superior endplate of T3 vertebral body, is
likely chronic.
Bilateral Knee Xray [**10-10**]: 1. No acute fracture.
2. Bilateral tricompartmental osteoarthritis, severe on the
left and mild on the right.
CXR [**10-10**]: The cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are normal.
The lung volumes are low, with crowding of the bronchovascular
markings in the lung bases. Patchy right basilar opacity may
reflect
atelectasis, aspiration or focal/early pneumonia.
CXR [**10-10**] (post chest compressions): Cardiomediastinal contours
are normal in appearance. Lungs are clear except for a tiny
calcified granuloma in the periphery of the right lower lobe.
No rib fractures are identified, but portable chest radiographs
are relatively insensitive for detecting rib fractures,
especially those involving the anterior ribs. There is no
visible pneumothorax or pleural effusion.
Echo: [**2162-10-11**]
The left atrium is normal in size. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is
unusually small. Regional left ventricular wall motion is
normal. Left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic
(EF>75%). Doppler parameters are most consistent with Grade I
(mild) left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. There is a mild
resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. with normal
free wall contractility. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. There is no
valvular aortic stenosis. The increased transaortic velocity is
likely related to high cardiac output. Mild to moderate ([**12-21**]+)
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
moderately thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The
left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation.
The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mild symmetric LVH with small LV cavity size with
hyperdynamic LV systolic function. Consequently there is a mild
left ventricular outflow tract gradient during systole. The
aortic valve is thickened but opens reasonably well - the high
velocity is due to the LVOT gradient. Mild to moderate aortic
regurgitation. Probable diastolic dysfunction.
CXR [**10-13**]
Single-lead pacemaker in standard position, terminating in the
right ventricle. No acute cardiopulmonary disease.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a [**Age over 90 **] y/o female with a history of dementia,
hypertension, and previous h/o narrow complex tachycardia with
no known other cardiac history that presented [**1-21**] to fall and
was found to have a symptomatic 7 second asystolic pause in ED
with ROSC after chest compressions, no shock delivered.
Active issues:
# RHYTHM: Patient with previous history of narrow complex
tachycardia on metoprolol. Now with 7 second asystolic pause in
ED. Patient with mulitple falls recently, unclear whether
mechanical or secondary to bradycardia and conduction
abnormality. Differential includes high vagal tone, sick sinus
syndrome, junctional abnormality. Tropnoin negative x 2. Normal
K+ and Mg2+. Metoprolol was held. Patient monitored on telemetry
and XX. EP consulted and followed patient. A pacemaker was
implanted on [**10-12**] out of concern for arrhythmia as a cause for
recurrent falls. The patient will follow up with EP for
pacemaker interrogation after discharge. She was started on
diltiazem 45 mg po QID for control of rate and rhythm given
family report of "fuzziness" and fatigue that they attributed to
the beta-blocker. She will have one more day of levofloxacin
after discharge for prophylaxis against infection.
# s/p Fall: patient presented to ED secondary to fall. Patient
with multiple falls recently. Cause unclear, likely
multifactorial given dementia, patient uses walker, and now
found to have symptomatic 7 second asystolic pause. Patient with
negative head CT, C/T/L spine CT, bilateral knee xrays in ED.
Falls sound mostly mechanical after talking with family. PT
consulted and recommended rehab.
# ? bladder pain and increased frequency of urination: UA with
neg nitrite, neg leuks. Patient with mild leukocytosis, however
after CPR preformed and likely stress reaction. Of not on last
admission patient with asymptomatic bacturia. Urine culture sent
in ED, grew proteus mirabilis sensitive to ciprofloxacin and
levofloxacin. She received a dose of ciprofloxacin and was
continued on levofloxacin for prophylaxis after pacemaker
insertion. She completed a three day course for UTI on [**10-14**].
# Hypertension: patient with reported hypertension, labile on
last admission. Home metoprolol held for bradycardia and
asystole. BP monitored throughout stay and was stable on 45mg of
diltiazem QID.
Chronic issues:
# Dementia: patient currently AAO x 3, however confused. Home
donezepil continued.
# Sjogren's: continued saline eye drops
# Osteoporosis, compression fractures: continued calcium,
vitamin D, and weekly alendronate. Home oxycodone continued prn
for pain.
Transitional:
-will need pacemaker interrogated in [**12-21**] weeks
-titrate diltiazem dose to target BP and HR, then change to
long-acting formulation when on a stable dose

History of Present Illness:
64 yo woman w/ h/o recurrent PEs s/[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 260**] filter, GIB
while anticoagulated, COPD, who was discharged [**2107-1-12**] after
being treated for new PE presented to the ED with SOB and
productive cough. She was readmitted [**2107-1-17**] after she was
found to have a multifocal pneumonia and was treated with
Levo/Flagyl and Vanco. Cultures were positive for MRSA. Levo and
Flagyl were continued for suspected aspiration PNA. The pt
recovered quickly over since admission and she is now back on
her home O2 requirement. She was getting bridged for her
anticoagulation with Lovenox starting [**1-18**] in preparation for
discharge. However, she developed severe abdominal pain and a
palpable mass in her L abdomen. A CT was showed a new large
hematoma in the muscles of the left anterior and lateral lower
abdominal and pelvic wall, without any intraperitoneal or
retroperitoneal extent, but with associated mass effect on the
lower abdominal and pelvic bowel loops. Surgery was [**Month/Year (2) 4221**]
and suggested no intervention, but monitoring for now. HCT
dropped 6 points in this setting, but she remained
hemodynamically stable with tachycardia which has been present
throughout her hospital stay (95-115).
She required a total of 5 units PRBC and 4 units FFP
transfusions and was transferred to the MICU for further
monitoring. Her hematocrit has since been stable with serial
checks.

CTA chest:
1. Interval development of patchy areas of consolidation with
mucous plugging, particularly in the right lower lobe, right
upper and mid lobes suggest a new infectious process or
aspiration.
2. Resolution of the previously identified pulmonary embolism.
3. Extensive centrilobular and paraseptal emphysematous change.
4. Fluid-attenuating structure adjacent to the right T11-12
neural foramen is also unchanged and could be a perineural cyst.
.
CT abdomen/pelvis:
1. New large hematoma in the muscles of the left anterior and
lateral lower abdominal and pelvic wall, without any
intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal extent, but with associated
mass effect on the lower abdominal and pelvic bowel loops.
2. Unchanged infectious or inflammatory opacities in the right
middle and lower lobes.
.
[**2107-2-1**] IR Embolization: 1. Right inferior epigastric
arteriogram demonstrates no extravasation of contrast and
successful embolization with Gelfoam until stagnation of flow.
2. The right internal mammary artery demonstrated no areas of
active extravasation of contrast.
.
[**2107-2-3**] CXR: There is an irregular opacity in the right lower
lobe
concerning for pneumonia. There are no pleural effusions.
There is no
pneumothorax. The left subclavian catheter tip overlies the mid
SVC. Heart size normal. Mediastinal and hilar contours are
normal. IMPRESSION: Opacity in the right lower lobe concerning
for pneumonia.
.
[**2107-2-8**] LENIS: Extensive occlusive thrombus is demonstrated from
the common femoral vein at the takeoff of the greater saphenous
vein extending distally to the popliteal veins bilaterally. No
color flow, compressibility, or waveforms are demonstrated
within these areas of thrombus. IMPRESSION: Extensive,
completely occlusive, bilateral deep venous thrombi extending
from the common femoral veins to the popliteal veins.
.
[**2107-2-9**] ECG: Sinus tachycardia, Normal ECG except for rate
Brief Hospital Course:
64F w/ h/o recurrent PE s/[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 260**] filter, GIB on
anticoagulation, COPD, recently admitted for new PE, readmitted
for multifocal PNA, who developed a large abdominal wall
hematoma in the context of enoxaparin injections.
# Multifocal Pneumonia: She was admitted with multifocal
pneumonia. She was started on levofloxacin and vancomycin. She
completed a 7 day course of levofloxacin. MRSA was found to
grow in her sputum so she was continued on a 14 day course of
vancomycin. She originally presented with elevated WBC count and
left shift which quickly resolved with the initiation of
antibiotics. Her productive cough improved as well and she
remained on her baseline home O2 of 2L. Approximately 4 days
after completion of her 14 day course of Vancomycin, the patient
developed worsening cough, SOB, and upper respiratory symptoms.
A repeat CXR showed evidence of a new consolidation in the RLL.
The patient was started back on Levofloxacin/Flagyl. Vancomycin
was added to her regimen when blood cultures showed 2/4 bottles
with GPC in clusters and chains. Additionally, her sputum
culture grew out GNRs. Levofloxacin was discontinued and
Meropenem was started for concern for Pseudomonas given the
patient's long hospital course. Her O2 sat remained stable
93-100% on 2L nasal cannula (which is her baseline). She was
given mucomyst inhaled nebulizers to assist in breaking up thick
sputum. Her GNRs in the sputum grew out E. coli. Because of
the sensitivity profile of the E. coli and the patient's allergy
to penicillin and cephalosporins, the patient was continued on
Meropenem. Her GPCs were found to grow out Coag negative Staph.
Surveillance cultures had no further growth and the coag
negative staph was thought to likely be a contaminant. Her
Vancomycin was discontinued. She will continue a 14 day course
of Meropenem and she was discharged with a PICC to complete this
course.
.
# Pulmonary embolism/DVTs: She has had multiple PEs and has had
one even since the placement of a TrapEase IVC filter. CT during
recent previous hospitalization revealed appropriate location of
filter and CTA on this admission showed improvement of clot.
Admission labwork revealed an INR of 7.9. Coumadin was thus
held and reversed with FFP and vitamin K given her history of
GIB on anticoagulation. In the interim, therapeutic lovenox
injections were initiated, but within days of starting, she
developed a large abdominal wall hematoma near to lovenox
injection site. Once her hematocrit stabilized, she was started
on a heparin gtt with coumadin overlap. While [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 9533**] her
Coumadin with an INR 1.2, she was found to have a large Hct drop
and a CT scan of the abdomen showed a new rectus hematoma. She
was subsequently transferred to the MICU for closer monitoring.
It was decided after her second hematoma while on
anticoagulation, the risks of anticoagulation outweigh the
benefits at this time and she was not anticoagulated. In terms
of her hypercoagulable workup, it has been negative thus far for
hyperhomocysteinemia, Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid
antibody. Malignancy workup included a colonoscopy and EGD as
well as CEA, all of which were within normal limits. SPEP
revealed hypogammaglobulinemia, but was otherwise unremarkable.
During her hospital course, she also began to complain of
worsening lower extremity pain. LENIs were obtained which
showed evidence of extensive, completely occlusive, bilateral
deep venous thrombi extending from the common femoral veins to
the popliteal veins. Radiology felt that these clots were most
likely acute to subacute in nature. In this setting,
hematology/oncology saw the patient again to consider the risks
vs benefits of anticoagulation. Antithrombin III, prothrombin
mutation, Lupus anticoagulation and [**Location (un) 1169**] Venom Viper were
sent to reevaluate the reason for her hypercoagulability. The
hematology/oncology team still felt that the risks of
coagulation outweigh the potential benefits given that the
patient has had multiple bleeding episodes in the setting of
anticoagulation.
# Abdominal wall hematoma: As mentioned above, she developed a
large left-sided abdominal wall hematoma from a Lovenox
injection site that caused a significant hct drop (originally
28.1-->19.4). Despite the drop, she remained hemodynamically
stable (has sinus tachycardia at baseline prior to bleed). She
received 3 units prbcs, 4 units FFP. Her hematocrit then
stabilized and once stable, she was restarted on heparin gtt.
Coumadin was re-initiated and heparin gtt was continued while
awaiting her INR to become therapeutic. While [**Location (un) 9533**] her
Coumadin with an INR 1.2, she was found to have another Hct drop
(25.9-> 22.2) and a CT scan of the abdomen showed a new
right-sided rectus hematoma. She was subsequently transferred
to the MICU for closer monitoring. She was given 1 unit FFP and
9 units PRBCs between [**Date range (1) 39125**] until her hematocrit became
stable and she bumped appropriately to transfusion. It was
decided after her second hematoma while on anticoagulation, the
risks of anticoagulation outweigh the benefits at this time and
she was not anticoagulated. She has complained of [**6-16**]
abdominal pain with movement and has maintained stable
hematocrits. Her pain is most likely [**3-11**] to the large rectus
hematoma that will resolve over time. Her Hct remained stable
after her anticoagulation was discontinued.
# Thoracic mass: CT chest and abdomen revealed a stable
thoracic mass (stable x 3years) and thought potentially
consistent with neural cyst. It was not further evaluated by
MRI given its long term stability and also she has metal
hardware in place s/p elbow surgery and facial plates. It
should be followed up with imaging to ensure it remains
unchanged in the future.
# ? Zoster: Patient reports having a history of "herpes" on her
right buttock. During her stay, she developed a tingling,
itchiness and multiple small erythematous skin lesions on her
right buttock over the S2, S3 dermatomal distribution. There
were no vesicles appreciated. She was treated with acyclovir.
# Candidal vaginitis: Treated with fluconazole x 2 with
resolution of symptoms.
# H/o GI bleeding during recent admission: Recent colonoscopy
showed diverticulosis with no active signs of bleeding. She had
no blood in her stools during this admission even while
anticoagulated. Her stools were guiac-ed multiple times and
were found to be guiac negative.
# Constipation: She is constipated at baseline and requires
daily scheduled bowel regimen to maintian regularity.
# Hyperlipidemia: Continued on lipitor.
# Depression/SAD: Continued on Prozac, risperdone, wellbutrin,
and klonopin.
# Ulcerative Colitis: Remains in remission. She was continued
on mesalamine.
# Orthostatic hypotension: She remained asymptomatic even while
ambulating with physical therapy. She was continued on
midodrine.

Imaging:
MRI/A Head Neck [**4-13**]:
TECHNIQUE: T1 sagittal and axial and FLAIR T2 susceptibility and
diffusion
axial images of the brain were acquired before gadolinium. T1
axial and MP-
RAGE sagittal images were obtained following gadolinium. 3D
time-of-flight
MRA of the circle of [**Location (un) 431**] obtained. Gadolinium-enhanced MRA of
the neck and fat-suppressed axial images of the neck were
acquired.
FINDINGS: BRAIN MRI:
Comparison was made with the previous MRI of [**2193-4-11**]. Since the
previous study, the patient has undergone resection of a large
meningioma in the right frontal region. Extensive right-sided
brain edema is again identified. There are blood products at the
surgical site. Although no
residual nodular enhancement is seen, there is enhancement seen
along the
sulci and meningeal enhancement identified in the region. These
findings
indicate both pachy and leptomeningeal enhancement. Mild slow
diffusion in
the surrounding area on diffusion images is indicative of
postoperative
change. There is blood in the left lateral ventricle. There is
persistent
mass effect on the right lateral ventricle. Changes of small
vessel disease
are seen. A left frontal drainage catheter is identified. Note
is made of new areas of slow diffusion in the right medial
thalamus. These findings are indicative of acute infarcts which
are new since the previous study.
Again noted is enhancing meningioma in the tuberculum sella
region.
Additionally, enhancement and flow void in the left medial
temporal lobe
region indicative of an aneurysm at the site of previously noted
arteriovenous malformation. Post-craniectomy changes are seen in
the right frontal region. Pneumocephalus identified.
IMPRESSION: Previous MRI examination, the patient has undergone
resection of a large frontal meningioma with blood products at
the surgical site without residual nodular enhancement.
Leptomeningeal and pachymeningeal enhancement is seen which
appears postoperative. Acute right-sided thalamic infarcts are
seen which are new since the previous study. Other findings are
stable as described above.
MRA OF THE NECK:
The neck MRA demonstrates normal flow in the carotid and
vertebral arteries. The fat-suppressed images demonstrate subtle
increased soft tissues adjacent to the proximal right common
carotid artery as seen on the CTA. This could be related to
small amount of blood in the surrounding soft tissues from
recent attempted central venous line placement. There is no
definite dissection seen.
IMPRESSION: Normal MRA of the neck.
MRA OF THE HEAD:
The head MRA demonstrates no evidence of vascular occlusion or
stenosis. The previously seen aneurysm in relation with the left
posterior cerebral artery is not apparent on the MRA. The left
medial temporal lobe arteriovenous malformation is also not
clearly visualized.
IMPRESSION: No vascular occlusion or stenosis seen on the MRA of
the head.
Postoperative changes are noted following removal of frontal
lobe tumor.
Acute right thalamic infarcts are identified. MRA of the neck is
normal
without dissection. MRA of the head demonstrates no stenosis or
occlusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was electively admitted on [**4-11**] to undergo resection of
his brain mass. Post-operatively, he was transferred to the ICU
for continuous monitoring. During his perioperative course,
central line placement was complicated by access to the carotid
artery. Post-op, vascular surgery was consulted, duplex studies
performed, and determined to be without injury to the carotid
artery. MRI/A was also done to further confirm this as well as
evaluate surgical resection. The vascular surgery team agreed
that there was no carotid artery dissection and no intervention
needed on their part.
The patient was extubated in the ICU and was then transferred to
the floor. He did well over the weekend. The patient was able to
eat without difficulty. PT and OT evaluated him and recommended
rehab placement. On [**4-16**] the patient was noted to have bloody
urine in the foley. A urinalysis revealed a UTI. He was started
on a 14-day course of cipro. The patient was sent to rehab on
[**4-16**].

Head CT [**11-17**]:Right basal ganglia 21 x 10 mm intraparenchymal
hemorrhage with mild surrounding edema. No prior studies were
available for comparison.
Head CT [**11-18**]: stable hemorrhage
MRI/MRA: MRI demonstrates the right thalamic hemorrhage, as
visualized on
the CT scan of [**2146-11-17**]. No additional areas of
susceptibility
artifact are detected. There are no signs of acute infarction.
MRA demonstrates flow in the major branches of the circle of
[**Location (un) 431**] and no
abnormal vascularity.
LEFT X-ray Knee and Hip: No fracture, dislocation, or evidence
of hardware loosening.
CXR:A feeding tube has been withdrawn slightly in the interval.
Although the tip still terminates in the stomach, the most
proximal portion of the radiodense tip is likely just above the
GE junction level. Cardiac silhouette is stable in size and
demonstrates left ventricular configuration. There has been
interval marked improved aeration in the left retrocardiac
region with only minimal residual atelectasis remaining.
Bilateral pleural effusions are improved, resolved on the right
and nearly resolved on the left. There are no new or worsening
areas of opacification to suggest pneumonia.
Echo/TTE:The left atrium is mildly dilated. A patent foramen
ovale or small atrial septal defect could not be excluded by
color Doppler study. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are
normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. There is
mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
probable distal septal hypokinesis. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is borderline depressed. [Intrinsic left
ventricular systolic function may be more depressed given the
severity of valvular regurgitation.] Right ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets
are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate (2+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial
effusion. No cardiac source of embolus identifed.
Brief Hospital Course:
Neurology - Mr. [**Known lastname 65376**] was admitted to the ICU for monitoring
once it was discovered that his left-sided was secondary to a
right sided thalmocapsular hemorrhage. In the ICU, he remained
hemodynamically stable however his neurological exam worsened
from left sided hemiparesis to essentially, hemiplegia involving
most of his left side, including face, arm, and leg. The
differential included hypertensive hemorrhage, mass, aneurysm,
or hemorrhagic conversion of an embolic. As the patient had
little recorded or reportable medical history it is unclear that
he had a history of HTN, but this was clearly the most likely
diagnosis as no mass was observed and the MRA was negtive for
vascular malformation. He was quite hypertensive at admission,
with BPs 200/100s requiring IV hydralazine for control. The
patient had a deterioration in his mental status after transfer
out of the ICU. An encephalopathy work-up revealed bilateral
pleural effusions thought to be secondary to possible aspiration
pneumonia. His antibiotic regimen was changed to Levofloxacin
and Metronidazole and he became alert and oriented within 24
hrs. He should complete another 6 days of Levofloxacin and
Flagyl.
Physical therapy has been involved with his care and he has been
moved to and from his bed to a chair. HbA1C, Lipids were normal.
His Trans-thoracic Echocardiogram revealed normal EF without
vegetations.
Respiratory - pt intermittently required oxygen by NC. He was
diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusions and possible left
sided pneumonia which on repeat CXR [**11-25**] showed interval
resolution. He currently does not have an oxygen requirement.
FEN/GI - the patient had difficulty swallowing and had been
maintained with an NGT for adequate fluid and nutritional
intake. Speech and swallow recommended: 1. Continue with NG tube
feedings to maintain nutrition/hydration 2. PO diet consistency
of nectar thick liquids and purees as a SNACK only 3. Basic
aspiration precautions should be followed: a. Pt should be awake
and alert while eating
b. Pt should be seated upright in the bed during all meals. He
will likely benefit from f/u with a nutrionist in Rehab.
Pt. also with large left inguinal hernia. This is a
[**Last Name 19390**] problem that has not presented acute issues for
him.
Renal/GU - Patient admitted with hyophosphatemia and
hypomagnesemia which have responded well to both oral and IV
supplementation. His recent Mg and Phos have normalized. He has
[**Doctor First Name **] kept on Neuta Phos packets [**Hospital1 **].
Patient was evaluated by Urology service for difficulty with
Foley catheter placement in the ICU. A catheter was placed by
GU; they recommended a voiding trial and on [**11-25**] the catheter
was pulled and the patient voided spontaneously. The patient has
had microscopic hematuria and GU was made aware of this. Their
recommendation was that this could be followed up as an
outpatient.
ID - The patient had Klebsiella pneumoniae urosepsis. He was
initially placed on Gentamicin. He subsequently had a drop in
his platelets. Because the bacteria was also sensitive to
ceftriaxone he was switched as there was concern that the
thrombocytopenia (low of 65) was secondary to gentamicin. Once
the gent was discontinued, his platelets subsequently recovered
to normal range. He has been treated with Levaquin IV and Flagyl
for 2 days and should complete another 6 days of these two
antibiotics for the Klebsiella and the pneumonia.
HEME - Thrombocytopenia as mentioned above. Pt. had developed
anemia and was tranfussed two units of PRBCs in the ICU. He has
since had stable CBCs. His anemia was likely secondary to acute
illness. He was placed on Heparin 5000 U SC for DVT prophylaxis.
Musculoskeletal: Pt c/o pain in left knee. He underwent X-rays
of both knee and left hip earlier in the hospitalization as he
presented with a fall. These tests were negative for fracture or
change in hardware (secondary to left hip ORIF in past).
PODIATRY - the patient had severe nail fungus and Podiatry
debrided the nails. He has been receiveing LacHydrin
moisturizing cream to his feet for severe dryness. There has
been much improvement during his hospital course.
DISPO - Patient has no PCP and would definitely benefit from
regular medical follow-up. A phone number for [**Hospital **] will be provided. The patient will have f/u
appointments with Urology and Neurology/Stroke.
Patient will require long-term assistance with ADLs and will
benefit from inpatient rehabilitation.

Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 66-year-old man with
severe CAD, status post CABG in [**2135**] with recent PCI to the
LMCA and SVG to the PDL in [**2143-7-14**]. He presented on
[**2143-8-23**] for an elective intervention brachytherapy of the
SVG to PL and native RCA. The patient reported that he had
been feeling well without chest pain, shortness of breath, or
dyspnea on exertion. He was noted to have an ejection
fraction of greater than 60 percent in [**2143-7-14**]. The
patient underwent a cardiac catheterization on the morning of
arrival with PCI to the native RCA and 4 stents and
brachytherapy to the vein graft. The patient tolerated the
procedure well and approximately 6 hours later developed a
chest pain noted as 4 out of 10 substernal radiating to his
throat and back without shortness of breath, diaphoresis,
nausea or vomiting. EKG at that time revealed ST elevation
in II, III, and aVF. The patient was brought back to the
catheterization laboratory at that time. They found that the
SVG to PL have been thrombosed. The artery was opened in the
catheterization laboratory, AngioJet had been unsuccessful
and the graft was opened with Nipride with subsequent TIMI 3
flow. The patient had persistently occluded communication
between the native RCA and the vein graft. Postprocedure,
after the sheath pull, a hematoma developed and the patient
had baseline low blood pressure of systolic in the 90s.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Status post MI in [**2129**].
2. PCI to the LAD in [**2130**].
3. PCI to the RCA in [**2132**], complicated by a stent blocking
the femoral artery.
4. Status post iliac repair.
5. Coronary artery bypass graft in [**2135**] including LIMA to the
LAD, SVG to the D1, SVG to the RPL.
6. PCI to the LMCA in [**2143-7-14**], PCI to the SVG to the PVL.
7. Status post right knee arthroscopy.
8. History of hemorrhoids.
9. History of benign polyps.
MEDICATIONS ON PRESENTATION:
1. Aspirin 325 mg a day.
2. Lopressor 12.5 mg b.i.d.
3. Zocor 60 mg a day.
4. Plavix 75 mg a day.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Smokes 10 packs a week for the past 50
years, currently trying to quit. Social tobacco with no
illicits.
FAMILY HISTORY: A brother died of MI at age 60. Father had
his first MI in his 50s. The patient is married with several
children. He is currently between jobs. After the
procedure, the patient was admitted to the CCU for
monitoring.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: His temperature was 98.2 degrees,
blood pressure 99/48, respiratory rate 15, 100 percent
saturation on room air, heart rate 57 to 66. In general, he
is a well-appearing elderly male, alert and oriented with an
appropriate affect. HEENT revealed no JVD. Supple neck.
Chest revealed clear lungs, no rhonchi, no crackles.
Cardiovascular normal S1, S2, no murmurs, rubs, or gallops,
no S3 or S4. Abdomen is flat, soft, nontender, nondistended,
with normoactive bowel sounds. Extremities are warm with
capillary refill less than 3 seconds, 2 plus DP and PT and
radial pulses, no edema, left groin with bruit.
LABORATORY DATA: EKG on presentation had a sinus rate of 55,
inferior T-wave inversions, ST elevation in V1 and V2.
IMPRESSION: The patient is a 66-year-old male with a severe
CAD, status post brachytherapy, SVG to the PDL with
subsequent thrombosis, status post opening of the artery
during repeat catheterization.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was now hemodynamically stable
with resolution of his EKG changes and ST elevation and he
was admitted to the CCU for monitoring. That evening, the
patient complained of back pain on his left side, which he
attributed to lying on his back. On exam, there was no
palpable hematoma, no bruit auscultated and strong DP pulses
with warm extremities. The CT of the pelvis and abdomen was
negative for retroperitoneal bleed. It was determined that
the patient's pain was due to back pain; however, the concern
for his low blood pressure, lack of evidence for
retroperitoneal bleed. The patient was bolused 250 cc of IV
fluid and blood pressure increased to a range of 98 to
106/50s to 60s. The patient was also noted to have
hematocrit of 29.5, he was transfused 1 unit. After his
catheterization, the patient had prolonged groin bleeding
requiring a clamp; as stated the ultrasound was noted a small
hematoma without aneurysm and a CT was negative for
retroperitoneal bleed. The patient had been having low blood
pressure persistently. There was no evidence of a tamponade,
no evidence for bleeding, no evidence for adrenal
insufficiency and the patient responded well to small boluses
of fluid. This was presumably all due to preload dependent.
The patient had 3 beats of NSVT on telemetry and otherwise
was feeling quite well; had no recurrence of chest pain.
Given persistent hypotension, the patient remained in the
intensive care unit for 24 more hours. He was given a
cosyntropin stimulation test to rule out adrenal
insufficiency. It was inconclusive. He was given
hydrocortisone 100 mg for empiric treatment and there was no
effect on blood pressure; therefore, it was determined that
it was highly unlikely his low blood pressure was due to
adrenal insufficiency and likely was extensive vagal
phenomenon from pressure on the groin status post procedure.
Given that the patient was doing well, he was transferred out
to the floor on day 3. Blood pressure remained low at
90s/60s. The patient continued to receive boluses with mild
effective increase; however, the patient had profoundly good
urine output and urine lytes that supported the patient being
euvolemic. The patient ambulated well, had no complaints.
He was restarted back on his home medications including his
blood pressure medications. For his coronary artery disease,
which was extensive, the patient's CK has declined, he was
maintained on aspirin, Plavix and Lipitor at 80. He was
restarted on his Lopressor before going home and tolerated
that well without any difficulty with hypotension. The
patient was consulted extensively on smoking cessation. The
patient had a repeat echocardiogram that revealed an EF 50 to
55 percent, mild inferior wall hypokinesis compared to the
previous study and it was hoped that he would restart on Ace
inhibitor and titrated up on that in time as his blood
pressure tolerated as an outpatient. For anemia, the
patient's hematocrit remained stable. It was determined that
he has a small arterial bleed status post catheterization;
received 1 unit of blood. No evidence of AV fistula. The
patient was instructed to have his hematocrit followed up by
his primary care doctor. The patient's hypotension was
determined to be due to vagal phenomenon. The patient was
near his baseline blood pressure. There was no evidence of
adrenal insufficiency and the patient was asymptomatic. He
was discharged with plans to have his blood pressure checked
and to titrate up his medications as tolerated.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: The patient was discharged to home
with instructions to take Plavix every day as ordered or
stent would close. He was instructed to never smoke again.
He was instructed regarding his new medications.
FINAL DIAGNOSES:
1. Coronary artery disease.
2. Acute stent thrombosis, status post cardiac
catheterization and stenting.
3. Anemia due to blood loss.
4. Groin hematoma.
5. Hypotension.
6. Hypokalemia.
7. Tobacco use.
FOLLOW UP: The patient was instructed to followup with his
cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 837**], on [**2143-11-27**]. He was instructed to
have another stress test according to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 837**] on [**2143-11-18**].
He was instructed to call his primary care physician [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **].

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
80M p/w a large R IPH with intraventricular extension, midline
shift, and hydrocephalus.
The patient was found lying face up in his bathtub after having
shaved. There was no water in the tub and the shower was not
turned on. He was found by a neighbor. [**Name (NI) **] EMS, he was moaning
and there was "tone in his left arm" which may have been
consistent with posturing. He was taken to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] and
head
CT was performed, revealing a large intraparenchymal hemorrhage
extending from the lower midbrain into the hypothalamus,
thalamus
and basal ganglia on the right, with significant mass effect,
intraventricular extension with casting of the right ventricle
and some blood product in the posterior [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the left lateral
ventricle.
[**Hospital1 18**] Neurosurgery was called and on review of imaging and
reported exam- Mannitol 100gm and Decadron 10mg x1 was
recommended and given. He was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for a
Neurosurgical evaluation. Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] discussed and offered
surgical intervention, but this was refused based on
the family's knowledge of his wishes to not prolong life if
incapacitated. He also had signed a DNR/DNI order. He was clear
that he did not want to be dependent of disabled. The family
asked to maintain his intubation while other family members
arrive from inside and outside [**State 350**]. They offered that
he is an organ donor.

Physical Exam:
No eye opening, pupils 2mm and minimally react. No corneal on
left, minimal corneal on right. Extensor posture with LUE, RUE
attempts to localize, BLE withdraw to noxious stim. No gag, not
overbreathing the vent. Tone increased in left arm, normal bulk.
Toes are downgoing bilaterally.
Pertinent Results:
FINDINGS: There is a large intraparenchymal basal ganglionic
based hemorrhage. It is multilobulated in nature and at its
greatest extent measures 6.5 x 5.3 cm. This is causing mass
effect and shift of the normally midline structures of
approximately 1.1 cm at the level of the hemorrhage. There is
also intraventricular extension into the ipsilateral and
contralateral lateral ventricles. There is effacement
of the ipsilateral frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the lateral ventricle
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was admitted to the neurosurgery service and the ICU. The
organ bank was contact[**Name (NI) **]. [**Name2 (NI) **] was extubated on [**10-24**] without
incident and a morphine drip was started and titrated to
respiratory rate. He passed away on [**10-24**] at 12:55 p.m. The

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Patient is a 75-year-old female
with a history of Alzheimer's dementia, coronary artery
disease status post coronary artery bypass graft in [**2174**] with
a history of five myocardial infarctions, the last in [**2185-7-28**] as well as congestive heart failure with an ejection
fraction of 30%, hypertension, dyslipidemia. On [**2185-11-11**],
she experienced transient episodes of left arm weakness
associated with slow speech. Her husband called the
patient's doctor who recommended she present to the emergency
room.
On arrival her vital signs were stable. Labs were
unremarkable. Cardiac enzymes were negative initially. She
was admitted to the Neurology for work up of a question of
TIA or stroke. She underwent MRI of the head upon admission
that was negative for an acute process. While on the floor
on [**2185-11-11**], she was noted to become tachycardic in a sinus
rhythm to 150 and was noted to have rales on exam. She was
given 40 mg of IV Lasix without significant response; she
received a second dose of 40 mg IV Lasix and then a code was
called when she subsequently was noted to drop her oxygen
saturation to the mid 80s on 100% nonrebreather. She also
became hypotensive with a systolic blood pressure in the 70s.
She was intubated and briefly required Dopamine to maintain
her blood pressures. She was then transferred to the
Coronary Care Unit for further management of congestive heart
failure.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease status post coronary artery
bypass graft in [**2174**].
2. Diabetes mellitus.
3. Dyslipidemia.

SOCIAL HISTORY: She lives with her husband. She does not
smoke or drink.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Upon admission to the Coronary Care
Unit, she was intubated and sedated. She had pink, frothy
sputum suctioned from her G tube. Her lungs had audible
rales at the bases. She had a regular rate and rhythm
audible upon precordial exam with no audible extra heart
sounds. Her abdomen was benign with positive bowel sounds.
She had no edema with 1+ distal pulses. She was responding
to stimuli, but was sedated.
LABORATORY: Upon admission to the Coronary Care Unit had a
sodium 134, potassium 4.4, chloride 97, bicarbonate 25, BUN
20, creatinine 0.7, glucose 124, INR 1.1. White count 7,
hematocrit 33, platelets 211.
EKG normal sinus rhythm at 90 beats per minute with a left
axis, left bundle branch block. There was no comparison
available at the time.
Chest x-ray with patchy vascular markings consistent with
congestive heart failure.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The initial impression on admission to the
Coronary Care Unit was that the patient was a 75 year-old
female with severe coronary artery disease who developed
symptoms of left arm discomfort on the day prior to
admission. It may or may not have represented anginal type
symptoms. She was now admitted directly from the floor in
apparently decompensated congestive heart failure in the
setting of elevated systolic blood pressure (as high as 200).
The patient was able to be weaned off of Dopamine
expeditiously upon admission to the Coronary Care Unit. She
was diuresed aggressively and successfully with IV Lasix.
She had a PA catheter placed upon admission in order to guide
her management with initial pulmonary artery pressures of
35/10 and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 10. Of note,
this was following aggressive diuresis.
The patient did well with subsequent titration up of after
load reduction with Captopril and initiation of Isordil. She
was able to be extubated successfully on [**2185-11-14**]. She
underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram which revealed a
severely depressed LV function with ejection fraction of 20
to 30% and akinesis of the inferior row posterior walls and
moderate hypokinesis at the LV as well as 1+ AR and MR.
The patient subsequently did well and at the time of this
dictation on [**2185-11-17**], she is awaiting transfer to the
General Medical Floor where she will await eventual
disposition most likely to short term rehab.
TRANSFER STATUS: Stable.

velcade and dexamethasone x4 weeks with ongoing treatment
recently hospitalized for dyspnea on exertion and weakness,
discharged [**10-8**] from [**Hospital1 18**].
.
During the last hosptialization his dyspnea was thought to be
multifactorial from diastolic CHF, COPD and pulmonary
hypertension. He was treated with diuresis and nebulizers. His
symptoms did not completely resolve. He presented on the day of
admission to oncology clinic for chemotherapy, but prior to
initiation he reported feeling winded with short ambulation,
ambulatory O2 sat was 78%, returning to 94% at rest. Repeat
ambulatory sats to 85%. He was referred to the ED. He did not
get scheduled chemo.
.
In the ED, V/S were 97.2 66 99/85 18 100% 4L. He was noted to
be slightly confused, with sats in the low 90s on 4L. ABG was
7.23/ 117 /90 /52. Crackles noted on exam. He was given
Levofloxacin 500mg po, prednisone 60mg and Duoneb X 1. Labs
were significant for CO2 of 5, BNP 2166 similar to recent
admission. CXR could not rule out L basilar infiltrate. Before
transfer, V/S 128/59, 77, 95% 2L. He was mentating

Labs on Discharge:
Brief Hospital Course:
64yo male with acquired [**Name Prefix (Prefixes) **]-[**Last Name (Prefixes) **]'s disease associated with
MGUS, recurrent GI bleeds, diastolic HF, pulmonary HTN, severe
COPD on 2L, and OSA (refuses to use BiPAP), p/w acute on chronic
hypercarbic/hypoxemic resp failure likely [**2-25**] untreated severe
OSA, PH, COPD exacerbation, and chronic CHF. He was initially
admitted to the ICU, but was not intubated.
#Acute on chronic respiratory failuredue to OSA and COPD:
-initially felt to be likely [**2-25**] CHF and COPD exacerbation on
underlying severe untreated OSA/OHS. There was no obvious
pneumonia on CXR and pt remained afebrile w/o leukocytosis. His
mental status/somnolence and hypercarbia improved after BiPAP
set at 18/10 4L O2. Suggest he use BiPAP overnight and with
naps.
-He will need a retitration sleep study as an outpt to further
optimize and should have close follow-up with his sleep/pulm
doctor [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] (we have emailed Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] re this issue). He
was transferred to the medical floor where he did very well. He
was sufficiently concerned and indicated that he would use BiPAP
at home as instructed.
#CKD - his creatinine did rise from 1.2 on admission to 1.7 with
diuresis in the ICU. Looking back at his previous labs, his
creatinine has fluctuated up in this range in the past (was 1.9
in [**2195-8-24**]), and no other cause for renal failure was
identified. Potentially nephrotoxic meds were held,
#MGUS: f/u on UPEP
#HTN: continue home meds
#Nutrition consult for obesity/dietary input.
64yo male with severe COPD on continuous home O2, OSA (in the
past has refused to use BiPAP), acquired [**Name Prefix (Prefixes) **]-[**Last Name (Prefixes) **]'s
disease associated with MGUS, recurrent GI bleeding, diastolic
HF, pulmonary HTN, who presented with dyspnea likely from COPD
exacerbation.
.
# Acute on chronic respiratory failure requiring ICU stay but
not intubation
- MICU team felt COPD exacerbation main component and started
high dose steroids, Abx, nebulized bronchodilators
- no evidence of bronchospasm on my exam - am tapering steroids
rapidly
-D/C levofloxacin
- wean O2 to maintain sats 88-92%, down to home flow of 2L/min
via NC. Check ambulatory sats
- OSA likely large component - needs to wear BiPAP at night. He
did last evening and sats dropped to 93% only (good)
.
# Acute kidney injury
-admission creat = 1.0, has been gradually increasing - now 1.8.
-FeNa yesterday = 0.95%, suggesting pre-renal azotemia but
creatinine continues to increase despite IV hydration and
holding ACE-I
-no evidence of urinary retention (PVR < 350)
-He was seen in consultation by Nephrology on [**2195-10-12**], and they
agreed with trial of IV hydration and with holding the
ace-inhibitor and the diuretic. His discharge serum creatinine
was 1.7.
# Acute on chronic diastolic heart failure
-last echo in [**2195-6-24**] showed right heart failure (likely due
to chronic lung disease and resulting pulmonary hypertension)
but preserved LV function
-no evidence of acute HF now - received torsemide inthe ICU with
resulting decrease in BNP, but increase in creatinine - on the
floor, we held off on further diuresis
-there was no peripheral edema
.
# OSA:
-has follow up with pulm after discharge and pt states now that
he is inclined to use a nighttime BiPAP.
.
# Htn: Continue carvedilol. Lisinopril D/C'd in the setting of
rising creatinine
.
# MGUS: Patient has been on bortezomib and velcade to treat
MGUS-associated VWd and subsequent GIB.
- updated Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 3060**] that patient was rehospitalized.
- will need to reschedule next treatment.
- Beta-2 Microglobulin was elevated at 3.9 (0.8 - 2.2 mg/L) and

Discharge Disposition:
Home
Discharge Diagnosis:
Acute on chronic hypercarbic respiratory failure
COPD
Obstructive sleep apnea
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted with respiratory difficulty likely due to poor
oxygenation from COPD and obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary
hypertension. There may also have been a component of heart
failure as well.
It is vitally important that you use the BiPAP machine whenever
you are sleeping, as we discussed. Continue to use the oxygen by
nasal cannula when you are awake, as you have been doing.
Maintain a low salt diet and watch closely for evidence of heart
failure (leg swelling, increasing weight, and/or increasing
shortness of breath).
Weigh yourself every morning, call your primary care doctor or
your cardiologist if your weight goes up more than 3 lbs.

Duodenum:
Mucosa: Normal mucosa was noted.
Impression: Grade D esophagitis in the From 15cm to the GE
junction compatible with severe erosive esophagitis most likely
from GERD
Ulcers in the fundus, stomach body, and antrum
Normal mucosa in the duodenum
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum

CT ABD/PELVIS ([**7-26**]):
CT ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST: There is dependent subsegmental
atelectasis at the lung bases. The heart is enlarged without
pericardial effusion. There is coronary artery and thoracic
aortic atherosclerotic calcification.
The liver, spleen, and bilateral adrenal glands are normal. The
gallbladder is surgically absent. A poorly evaluated 13-mm
hypodensity arising from the posterior aspect of the pancreatic
body may be new from the prior study. There is fatty atrophy of
the pancreas. The non-opacified stomach and intra-abdominal
loops of small bowel are normal without evidence of obstruction.
A nasogastric tube terminates in the gastric fundus. There is
colonic diverticulosis without evidence of acute diverticulitis.
There is mild bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter. Within
the right
kidney, there is a fat-fluid level in an anterior interpolar
calyx (2A:35). In addition, a fat-fluid level is noted within
the mid right ureter (2A:66). Multiple hypodensities in the
bilateral kidneys are mostly new compared to [**2189**] and are too
small to further characterize, but may represent cysts. There
has been interval atrophy of both kidneys. In addition, cortical
thinning in the upper pole of the right kidney suggests prior
infection or ischemia.
There is no free air or fluid in the abdomen. There are no
mesenteric lymph nodes meeting CT criteria for pathologic
enlargement. A left para-aortic lymph node measuring 16 mm is
similar to the prior study (2A:42). There is atherosclerotic
calcification of the abdominal aorta which is of normal caliber
throughout. Vascular calcifications are also noted in the branch
vessels.
CT PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: There is a tiny fat-fluid level
within the
anterior portion of the bladder (2A:82). The distal ureters are
dilated
bilaterally, and scattered areas of mild urothelial enhancement
are seen
bilaterally. The urinary bladder is distended with irregular and
lobulated
appearance of the wall, with diverticula. Heterogeneity is noted
in the
region of the endometrium, possibly due to an underlying polyp
or fibroid.
Adnexa and sigmoid colon are normal. There is a large amount of
stool within the rectum. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
No pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy meeting CT criteria for
pathologic enlargement is noted.
BONE WINDOWS: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous lesion is
identified. There is multilevel degenerative change of the
thoracolumbar spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of bowel obstruction.
2. Irregular lobulated appearance of the bladder wall with
diverticula
suggests neurogenic bladder and clinical correlation is
recommended.
Mild bilateral hydroureteronephrosis may be due to bladder
distention. Mild urothelial enhancement could be seen with
infection and correlation with urinalysis and urine culture
recommended.
3. Chyluria, of unclear etiology. Correlation with urine studies
and history of instrumentation or prior urologic procedures is
recommended.
4. Renal scarring in the right kidney suggests sequela of prior
infection or infarction.
5. 13-mm pancreatic body hypodensity for which MRI could be
obtained for
further evaluation as clinically indicated.
6. Heterogeneous endometrium, possibly due to polyp or a
submucosal fibroid. Correlation with non-emergent pelvic
ultrasound recommended if not previously performed.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.
.
ECHO ([**2196-7-27**]):
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity is unusually small. Left ventricular systolic
function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). Doppler parameters are
indeterminate for left ventricular diastolic function. 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 are mildly thickened (?#).
There is no aortic valve stenosis. Mild to moderate ([**12-27**]+)
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Physiologic
mitral regurgitation is seen (within normal limits). The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal.
IMPRESSION: Small LV cavity size with hyperdynamic LV systolic
function. An abnormal LVOT flow contour is seen but an LVOT
gradient is not present. Mild to moderate aortic regurgitation.
.
.
CXR (PA/LAT): ([**7-27**]):
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no
relevant
change. Lung volumes and moderate cardiomegaly with retrocardiac
atelectasis, but no evidence of pulmonary edema or pneumonia.
The presence of minimal pleural effusion on the left cannot be
excluded. On the right, there is no pleural effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
76 y/o F with CHF, dementia, Afib on coumadin presenting with
coffee ground emesis found be in aflutter with RVR.
# GI Bleed: Patient was admitted to the MICU with coffee ground
emesis that was confirmed with nasogastric lavage. Patient was
tachycardic (see below), however BP was stable. Hct initially
was 44. With hydration, her hct fell to 35 but then remained
stable. Patient received 1 unit of FFP and vitamin K for
supratherapeutic INR however did not receive any packed RBCs.
EGD revealed multiple superficial non-bleeding ulcers in the
fundus, stomach body, and antrum as well as severe esophagitis.
She was started on pantoprazole 40mg [**Hospital1 **]. Patient remained
hemodynamically stable and was subsequently transferred to the
general medicine floors. Her hct remained stable around 35 with
no further episodes of vomiting. She was able to tolerate PO
intake. She was discharged to continue high dose PPI and to have
follow up EGD in [**6-1**] weeks.
.
# Tachycardia: Patient initially presented in SVT and received
12mg of adenosine which revealed underlying afib/aflutter with
RVR. HRs remained fluid unresponsive, however were treated with
IV beta blockade. Upon restarted home dual nodal blockade, HRs
became appropriate. However, pt displayed evidence of
tachy-brady syndrome, with heart rates up to 150s and down to
60s, so her diltiazem was decreased to 60mg TID She remained
hemodynamically stable. Her coumadin was initially held in the
setting of an acute bleed. However, GI felt that her risk of
stroke was greater than her risk of rebleeding, so her coumadin
was resumed on discharge, to be bridged with lovenox.
.
# SIRS: Patient met SIRS criteria by heart rate and WBC count.
She received empiric treatment with ceftriaxone x1 in the ED.
However, since no clear source of infection was identified,
antibiotics were discontinued. Her WBC decreased to 8.4 at time
of discharge and pt was afebrile. Her UA was significant for
large leukocytes, 101 WBC, few bacteria, however as she was
asymptomatic and her urine culture showed only mixed bacterial
flora, she was not treated.
.
# [**Last Name (un) **]: Patient presented with elevated creatinine and
hyponatremia, both which improved with gentle fluid
resuscitation.
.
CHRONIC ISSUES:
.
CHF: Pt was dehydrated on presentation. She received gentle
hydration and remained euvolemic during her hospital course.
.
DM: Metformin was held during hospitalization. Her BG was
managed with sliding scale insulin. She was resumed on
metformin upon discharge.
.
Pain management: Pt was managed on lidocaine patch only during
hospitalization. She had no complaints of lower back pain. She
may be able to dc percocet and continue only on lidocaine patch
to decrease her constipation.
.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
Pt is DNR/DNI. She has a follow up EGD and GI appointment
scheduled for 4 weeks from discharge. She also had several
findings on CT that may deserve follow-up as an outpatient as
described in her CT findings. As constipation seems to be an
issue for her, she may benefit from pain control with lidocaine
patch only, as she reported her pain was well controlled on that
regimen while she was hospitalized. She was restarted on
coumadin given that the benefit of stroke reduction seemed to
outweight the risk of re-bleeding, per GI. She is being bridged
with lovenox. We were unable to contact the son during her
hospitalization, however the final decision to continue
anticoagulation should be addressed with him.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms [**Known lastname 4318**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 827**]. You were admitted to the hospital because you
had bloody vomit. You had an upper endoscopy that showed that
you have severe acid reflux with ulcers in your esophagus and
stomach. Because of this, you were started on a new medication
to control your stomach acid. You should take this medicine
twice a day indefinitely. You will also need to follow up with
the Gastrointestinal doctors because they [**Name5 (PTitle) 9004**] to repeat an
endoscopy in [**3-30**] weeks.
Your heart rate was also very fast when you came to the
hospital. We gave you medication to slow your heart rate down,
and then restarted your home dose of metoprolol and diltiazem.
Please make the following changes to your medications:
1. start taking pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth twice a day
2. your back pain was well controlled with a lidocaine patch
while you were in the hospital. Since this worked for you here,
you may want to consider stopping percocet (it can make
constipation worse) and using a lidocaine patch instead.
3. take lovenox

[**10-14**] Tagged RBC Scan - Moderately brisk intermittent bleeding
originating from the ascending colon.
[**10-28**] CT - ?cortical infarct or pyelonephritis, small simple
left pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted on [**10-13**] from OSH with lower GI bleed since
patient was a Jehovah's witness and continued to have bloody
bowel movements. Patient was admitted to the medical ICU and
underwent a tagged RBC scan which suggested that the bleeding
eminated from the ascending colon. Angiography was then
performed which did not visualize the source of bleeding. The
patient continued to have BRBPR and the general surgery service
was consulted. Upon consultation the patient was found to have a
hematocrit of 13.7 and an emergent colectomy was offered to
resolve the active bleeding.
The patient refused blood products citing her religious
perference and all the patient was aware of all risks of the
procedure and consented. The patient went to the OR on [**10-14**] and
underwent a right hemicolectomy with ileocolostomy. The
procedure was without complications and the patient was
transfered to the TSICU in critical condition. Patient remained
on the ventilator for several days, and was started on
erythropoetin and IV Iron to maximize her RBC production
capability. She was started on parenteral nutritional prior to
return of bowel function. She was successfully extubated on
pod# 10 and transfered to the floor once her hematocrit
stabilized. Once the patient was transferred to the floor her
hematocrit slowly increased each day and upon discharge was 23.
GI Bleed - The patient continued to have guiac positive stool
while in the ICU however these were felt to be the result of
retained blood in the colon. After the patient was transferred
to the floor patient had no episodes of BRBPR and no evidence of
GI bleeding.
Heme - Upon discharge the patients hematocrit was 23.9 which was
significantly higher than her post op Hct of 8. The patient was
started on 20K Units of EPO and will continue therapy for 1 week
as well as Iron supplementation for 1 month.
Pulm - Post operatively the patient developed a left lower lobe
pneumonia which was treated with a one week course of cipro.
Upon discharge the patient was afrebrile with a normal WBC.
GI - The patient was started on parenteral nutrition while in
the unit however was advanced to a regular diet after admission
to the floor. Patient was discharged able to tolerate a regular
diet.
CV - Patient continued to be tachycardic throughout her hospital
course as a result of her anemia. She was also hypertensive on
several occassions which was treated with IV then PO Lopressor.
Upon discharge the patient remained tachycardic and continued to
have episodic hypertension which we will have her PCP follow up
on.
GU - While in the ICU the patient developed an enterococcal
urinary tract infection which was treated appropriately with
antibiotics
Dispo - Patient will be discharged to short term rehab and will
follow up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 2819**] in approximately 1-2 weeks

History of Present Illness:
HPI: Ms [**Known lastname **] presents with her daughter with 3 month
history
of worsening nausea, weight loss and decreased appetite. She was
initially evaluated and admitted to [**Hospital 1474**] hospital [**Date range (1) 39208**]
after she fell on her back after slipping on a wet surface. On
arrival, she was also found to have nausea and abdominal pain at
which time a pelvic mass was discovered on exam. She underwent
CT
evaluation and received IVF and pain meds. Her abdominal and
back
pain improved with vicodin and darvocet. Following her discharge
on [**9-13**], she was informed by her PCP Dr [**Last Name (STitle) 3314**] that this was
likely an ovarian malignancy but that she should undergo
colonoscopic evaluation. She started the prep with Golytely but
felt so awful during this, that she declined to actually undergo
colonoscopy.

CT [**2115-10-9**]
IMPRESSION:
1. New small bilateral pleural effusion with associated
atelectasis (left greater than right).
2. Small amount of ascites which has slightly increased in size
since the prior study.
3. Pelvic loculated fluid collection that may represent an
organizing postoperative fluid collection/ hematoma.
Alternatively, less likely, this may reflect residual
tumor.There is a 3.7 x 4.2 cm cystic collection in the left
aspect of the pelvis (series 2, image 6 and 7). This collection
has a faint peripheral hyperdense rim that may reflect an
organizing postoperative fluid/hematoma. Although no frank
pocket of gas are seen within the fluid collection, a
superimposed infection cannot be excluded. Alternatively, this
may be related to residual tumor.
4. No evidence of colitis, free air, pneumatosis or bowel
obstruction.
CT Scan Pelvis [**2115-9-19**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Large heterogeneous, lobulated pelvic mass seen, most likely
of gynecological origin. Patient recalls history of TAH/BSO,
however, prior records not available at time of dictation. Less
likely considerations include lymphoma (although very unlikely
given no lymphadenopathy identified elsewhere), or bladder
origin.
2. Marked extrinsic compression of sigmoid colon, without
evidence of obstruction.
3. Right sided hydronephrosis and proximal hydroureter.
4. Small hypoattenuating lesions seen within the liver.
Metastases cannot be excluded.
6. Compression fracture of L1, of [**Last Name (un) 5487**] chronicity.
7. Poorly defined low attenuation lesion in uncinate process of
pancreas, incompletely evaluated on this study. Primary versus
secondary neoplasm suspected.
Brief Hospital Course:
#Pelvic Mass: On [**2115-9-19**] the patient was admitted to [**Hospital 61**] to be evaluated by surgical and gynecological services.
Abdominal CT scan showed - 15.9 x 14.2 x 15.9 cm mass ,
incompletely encasing sigmoid colon. Small amount of oral
contrast seen passing through sigmoid colon. Mild dilation of
colon proximal to mass. Given the involvement of the sigmoid
colon, the patient was admitted to the General Surgery team for
possible surgical resection. On [**9-24**], a CT guided biopsy was
performed which showed features suggestive of an unusual ovarian
adenocarcinoma. The staining pattern suggests clear cell
carcinoma of the ovary, or possibly metastatic endometrial
carcinoma. Adrenal, renal or colonic origin are unlikely.
Mesothelioma is unlikely, but cannot be entirely excluded based
on the available information.
Given the pathology findings, the patient was transferred to the
GYN ONC service for further management.
The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, pelvic mass
resection and cystectomy with ileoconduit placement by Drs [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Name (STitle) 1022**] and [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 365**] on [**10-2**]. Please see operative note for
details. The patient was admitted to the ICU postoperatively
given 2 minutes of hypotension during surgery.
#Nutrition/GI:
Preoperatively, a PICC line was placed for TPN given minimal PO
intake. Postoperatively, the patient's TPN was restarted.
TPN was restarted following surgery. Nutrition consult
following. The patient passed flatus and bowel movement
postoperatively; her diet was advanced to regular. TPN continued
until time of discharge due to limited PO intake. The patient
refused TPN at time of discharge.
The patient underwent a sigmoidoscopy which revealed normal 15cm
but unable to advance scope due to insufficient bowel cleansing.
#ID:
The patient was started on Flagyl/Keflex postoperatively for
empiric treatment given extent of surgery.
-Pseudomonas infection: Postoperatively, her WBC was noted to
double from 12 to 25. Peak WBC 39 while in the ICU. Blood
cultures, JP fluid cultures, urine culture from ileo-conduit and
wound culture were obtained. Pan-sensitive pseudomonas returned
in urine, wound and JP drainage. An ID consult recommended IV
and PO vancomycin and Zosyn. A CT scan was performed which
demonstrated a post operative fluid collection vs hemotoma vs.
organizing infection. An interventional radiology consult stated
that the fluid was not-amenable to drainage. As the patient's
WBC improved with IV antibiotic treatment and the patient
remained afebrile, further surgical management was not pursued.
Her antibiotics were narrowed to Zosyn IV. The patient was to
receive PICC line IV treatments for total 14 days following
discharge. Her WBC was normal at time of discharge. A repeat
urine culture pending at time of discharge; but no bacteria
present on urinalysis.
#Respiratory: The patient was extubated on postoperative 2. The
patient remained on room air. A CT scan on [**9-27**] was performed to
evaluate for pulmonary metastasis; this workup was negative.
The patient experienced acute dyspnea on postoperative day 9
during a blood transfusion. She received 2 doses of albuterol
nebulizers; she desaturated to 89% room air. She needed minimal
oxygen support upon her readmission to the ICU. She was
discharged on room air.
#Heme:
The patient's HCT was followed closely. The patient received 9
units of blood during surgery and her initial postoperative stay
to keep her HCT above 25. On postoperative day 9, the patient's
hematocrit was noted to be slowly dropping from 28 -> 26 -> 23.
It was unclear the cause of the hematocrit drop: slow bleeding
from operative site vs hematoma. The patient was transfused [**12-25**]
unit of blood before hemolytic reaction occurred (see below).
This blood transfusion was discontinued immediately. During her
2nd ICU stay, the patient received 2 additional pRBC units that
were screened by the Blood Bank after consultation with the
transfusion fellow. Her postoperative HCT remained stable daily
after the hemolytic reaction (bewlow) at 29-30.
-Hemolytic Reaction: The patient experienced an acute hemolytic
reaction manifested by acute onset of dyspnea on postoperative
day 9. This unit of blood was discontinued immediately. She
received 2 doses of Albuterol nebulizer treatment. She received
25 mg Benadryl, 40 mg Lasix IV and 20 mg proton pump inhibitor.
Due to the patient's acute pulmonary distress and elevated
respiratory rate to 40, a code Blue was called to facilitate any
need for possible intubation. No intubation or cardiac
resuscitation was needed. A transfusion fellow consult was
called stat. A repeat type and screen found a JKA antibody in
the patient's blood. The patient was transferred to the ICU for
further monitoring.
#Cardiac: The patient was noted to be in atrial fibrillation
prior to surgery. The patient was rate controlled prior to
surgery with Metoprolol and Diltiazem in the 80s-90s. She was
followed on telemetry. A medicine consult was called
preoperatively for assessment of her cardiac function. Prior
cardiac evaluation was obtained from her PCP documenting an
ejection fracture of 55% on recent Echo and 65% on recent stress
test.
Following surgery, postoperative cardiac enzymes were negative x
3.
-Hypotension: Occurred intraoperatively for which the patient
was placed on 2 pressors which were weaned off in the ICU. The
patient maintained a MAP of 65 per A-line. All pressors were
discontinued by time of ICU discharge and Metoprolol was
restarted.
-Atrial Fibrillation: The patient was maintained on telemetry
and rate controlled with Metoprolol in the 80s-90s. She was
restarted on her Coumadin when tolerating adequate PO on
postoperative day 11.
.
# Pain: Patient had high level of post-operative pain treated
with morphine PCA which was transitioned to PO due to patient
somnolence. Patient able to wean off pain medications and as of
[**10-9**] required minimal PO medications.
.
# Coagulopathy: INR elevated following surgery to 1.6 attributed
to multiple transfusions intraoperatively. The patient responded
well to one unit of FFP with INR 1.2. INR trended to 1.0
spontaneously prior to discharge. INR followed daily following
restart of Coumadin. INR 1.1 at time of discharge. VNA to follow
INR daily upon discharge.
.
# Hypothyroidism: levothyroxine continued
.
# Prophylaxis: PPI, sc heparin, aspiration precautions,
pneumoboots when patient accepted.
.
# Code: Full, confirmed w/ HCP
#Dispo: Patient discharged on [**10-16**] with VNA services, ostomy
care, and follow up with Urology, INR checks to be followed by
PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) 39209**] and Thoracic oncology.

Chest CT
FINDINGS: Multiple bilateral solid and ground-glass pulmonary
nodules are new or increased from prior examination, measuring
up to 5 mm. Biapical and peripheral pleuro-parenchymal scarring
persist, with associated ground-glass opacities, suggestive of
interstitial lung disease. There is no focal consolidation. The
central airways are patent to the subsegmental levels.
Evaluation of intrathoracic vasculature is suboptimal without
intravenous
contrast, but there has been interval progression of diffuse
atherosclerotic calcifications. At the origin of the right
brachiocephalic artery, a 1.5-cm segment of severe stenosis now
demonstrates near-complete luminal occlusion.
Moderate orificial stenosis of the left common carotid artery
also appears
more prominent. In the proximal left subclavian artery, a 1.4 cm
segment of moderate stenosis now demonstrates near-complete
luminal occlusion. Extensive calcifications are also noted
involving the aortic arch and root, three coronary arteries, and
posterior descending artery.
Thoracic aorta is normal in caliber, measuring 3.3 cm at the
level of the main pulmonary artery, 2.7 cm at the arch, and 2.5
cm in the descending portion.
Central pulmonary arteries are unremarkable. The heart is normal
in size,
without pericardial effusion.
Prominent left axillary lymph node measures 9 mm, with fatty
hilum.
Intrathoracic lymph nodes are stable, measuring up to 5 mm in
the superior
paratracheal region, 7 mm in the precarinal region, and 7 mm in
the subcarinal
region.
Note is made of mild pectus excavatum.
Examination is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, but
reveals dense calcification of the abdominal aorta with severe
celiac artery stenosis.
Bilateral non-obstructing renal stones are present.
Calcifications in the
region of the porta hepatis are likely vascular.
The bones are diffusely mottled and sclerotic, with mild
multilevel
degenerative changes.
IMPRESSION:
1. Progression of severe atherosclerosis.
2. Interstitial lung disease, with multiple new pulmonary
nodules measuring
up to 5 mm. Recommend followup CT in [**6-10**] months, depending on
patient's risk
factors.
3. Bilateral non-obstructing renal stones.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms.[**Known lastname 83206**] presented for cardiac catheterization which
revealed significant coronary artery disease. Cardiac surgery
was consulted and she underwent preoperative evaluation which
included CT scan of chest that recommends follow up CT scan in 6
months to evaluate pulmonary nodules. On [**6-6**] she was brought to
the operating room for coronary artery bypass graft surgery, see
operative report for further details. That evening she was
weaned from sedation, awoke neurologically intact and was
extubated without complications. On post operative day one she
was weaned off phenylephrine and started on lasix for diuresis.
That evening she was started on betablockers/ statin/aspirin and
diuresis. Chest tubes and epicardial wires were removed per
protocol. She continued to progress and was transferred to the
step down unit for further monitoring. Physical therapy worked
with her on strength and mobility. By post-operative day #5 she
was ready for discharge to [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 1188**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] rehab. All follow-up
appointments were advised.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Chest pain and shortness of breath
requiring BiPAP.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 82-year-old
gentleman with a past medical history significant for
coronary artery disease with unrevascularized three-vessel
disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction
of 20% with also a history of VTs and sinus node dysfunction
and status post VT ablation and pacer ICD placement,
peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, and
hypercholesterolemia, who was admitted with acute onset of
substernal chest pain for one hour while at rest. The
patient reported associated symptoms of diaphoresis and
shortness of breath. The patient took six sublingual
nitroglycerins without relief and he was given Lasix 80 mg IV
en route to the Emergency Department. The patient refused
aspirin.
In the emergency room his heart rate was 96, blood pressure
194/88 and his oxygen saturation was 86% on a face mask,
which improved to 95% on BiPAP. Chest x-ray was consistent
with congestive heart failure and the EKG was uninterpretable
due to pacer. He was given aspirin, nitroglycerin and was
transferred to the coronary care unit where aggressive
diuresis was initiated for his congestive heart failure.
During his diuresis, he developed some abdominal pains and
laboratory studies showed an elevated amylase and lipase.
The patient is a poor historian, but reported vague abdominal
pain approximately two weeks ago when he went for a pacer
check with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. The patient in the coronary care
unit was given some gentle hydration in response to his acute
pancreatitis, and the patient was transferred to the floor
where his pancreatic enzymes were trending down, however he
developed a leukocytosis and a temperature to 101.1. On the
floor he was taking clear liquids without abdominal pain. He
denied any back or epigastric pain, but again the patient is
a very poor historian.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Coronary artery disease,
three-vessel disease in [**2150-3-8**]. He had a catheterization
that showed 30% stenosis of his LM and 30% of his PLAD and
30% of his D1. 2. Peripheral vascular disease, status post a
right iliofemoral bypass in [**10-9**] and status post
percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of his left
iliac in [**7-9**]. 3. Ischemic congestive heart failure with an
ejection fraction of 20%. 4. History of VT sinus node
dysfunction, status post ablation and pacer placement in
[**2149**]. 5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6. Chronic
renal insufficiency with a baseline creatinine of 2.1 to 3.6.
7. Hypertension. 8. Hypercholesterolemia. 9. History of
penile implant.
ALLERGIES: The patient states by report that he has no known
drug allergies, however review of computerized medical
records reports that he has an allergy to ACE inhibitors.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He is a previous smoker, 120-pack-year
history, quit 10 years ago, denies alcohol use, lives in [**Location 11206**], MA with his wife.
FAMILY HISTORY: His father died secondary to leukemia and
his mother died of liver disease; no further information was
provided.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: 1. Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d. 2.
Lasix 80 mg p.o. q.d. 3. Isordil 30 mg p.o. q. day. 4.
Plavix 75 mg p.o. q. day. 5. Hydralazine 25 mg p.o. q. day.
6. Aspirin once a day.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs on transfer to the floor
from the coronary care unit were temperature 101.2, blood
pressure 103/58, pulse 61, respiratory rate 28, and he was
saturating 95% on two liters. In general he was a confused
gentleman sitting in his chair in no apparent distress.
HEENT examination showed left pterygium, pupils minimally
reactive bilaterally. His oropharynx was clear. His mucous
membranes were dry. His neck was supple without jugular
venous distension. His chest had bilateral crackles one-half
way up the lung fields. His cardiac examination revealed a
2/6 systolic murmur best heard at the right upper sternal
border greater than the left upper sternal border. Abdominal
examination revealed positive bowel sounds, nontender with
palpation, and no tenderness in the epigastrium and right
upper quadrant with palpation. Extremities revealed no
edema. Neurologically, cranial nerves II-XII were grossly
intact. He had [**4-12**] right lower extremity strength, otherwise
5/5 strength in all extremities and his right lower extremity
was cooler than his left lower extremity.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission his white count was 17,
hematocrit 41, platelet count 781. Differential showed a
white blood cell count with 63.5 neutrophils, 26 lymphocytes,
7 monocytes, 3 eosinophils, 1 basophil. Sodium 139,
potassium 4.5, chloride 103, bicarbonate 24, BUN 38,
creatinine 3.0, glucose 155. He had a calcium of 9.1, a
magnesium of 2.2 and a phosphorous of 4.5. He had an INR of
1.1, a PTT of 24.0.
Laboratory studies on admission to the floor showed a white
count elevated to 21.3, hematocrit 36.6, sodium 139,
potassium 4.2, chloride 100, bicarbonate 26, BUN 48,
creatinine 3.2 and a glucose of 123. He had a phosphorous of
4.0 and a magnesium of 2.1. He had an ALT of 18, an AST of
24 and alkaline phosphatase of 84. His amylase, three
values, from 442 to 911 to 424; lipase 882 to 946 to 166.
His total bilirubin was 1.0. He had cardiac enzymes drawn, a
set of three, showing troponins 0.01, 0.04 and 0.03. The
patient also had an MCV of 63, a TIBC of 442, which was
elevated, and a ferritin of 11, which is increased.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Pancreatitis: The patient had
experienced initial symptoms of abdominal pain while in the
coronary care unit during aggressive diuresis. An ultrasound
of the liver and gallbladder showed a gallbladder with stones
and sludge. There was no acute cholecystitis. There was a
nondilated biliary tree. He had an atrophic left kidney and
there was a limited view of the pancreas. To obtain better
imaging, we obtained an abdominal and pelvis CT without
contrast concerning his chronic renal insufficiency that
showed inflammation of his pancreas. The patient was
tolerating clears and then a full diet while on the floor
without abdominal pain. The patient's pain control was
purely on a p.r.n. basis. There were no standing medications
provided. We believe that his pancreatitis was secondary to
transient passage of gallstones. GI consult was not
appropriate at this time because the onset of his pain had
been for more than 24 hours, thus sphincterotomy was not
indicated.
2. Congestive heart failure: The patient was weaned off
oxygen and on the day before discharge he had an O2
saturation of 93% on room air. The patient's lung
examination improved with diminished crackles in both lungs.
The patient was kept off his diuretics while in the hospital
secondary to his chronic renal insufficiency, but more
importantly, secondary to his acute pancreatitis and his
fluid balance. The patient will be discharged on a smaller
dose of Lasix. He originally came in on 80 p.o. q. day and
will be discharged on 40 p.o. q. day with follow up with his
primary care physician in regards to adjustment of his Lasix
dosage.
3. Leukocytosis: The patient experienced an increase in his
white count from 17.0 to 21.3 with a bandemia once he was
transferred to the floor with neutrophils to 88. The patient
did have a left shift in a differential blood count that was
received while the patient was on the floor, with 88
neutrophils. We believe his leukocytosis is related to a
urinary tract infection. Urine cultures are pending, however
two urinalyses were consistent with a urinary tract infection
with elevated white blood cells and bacteria. The patient in
response to this was treated with levofloxacin 250 mg p.o. q.
48 hours for a total of seven days. This is the renal dosing
for levofloxacin. He will be discharged on this medication
to complete his course of therapy.
4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: The patient was
given metered dose inhalers p.r.n. for his chronic renal
insufficiency. His creatinine was at the higher end of his
baseline and for his coronary artery disease we obtained
pressure control with hydralazine and rate control with
amiodarone.
5. Anemia: The patient has a microcytic anemia that is
consistent with iron deficiency anemia. He was started on
ferrous sulfate 325 mg while in the hospital and a hemoglobin
electrophoresis was sent out for analysis of possible
thalassemia.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Fair.

Ca 8.4, Mag 2.1, Phos 4.3
PT 14.4, PTT 26.3, INR 1.2
Admission ECG [**2159-5-24**]:
Sinus rhythm. Compared to the previous tracing of [**2153-3-20**] there
is ST segment elevation in the inferolateral leads and ST
segment depression in the anteroseptal leads suggesting acute
myocardial infarction of the inferolateral territory.
Repeat ECG [**2159-5-24**]: Acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Probably mid-right coronary lesion with ST segment depression in
lead aVL and aVR being negative. ST segment elevation in lead
III greater than in lead II. A-V dissociation is not present.
There is some irregularity to the rhythm suggesting capture
beats. This may be interference dissociation with a junctional
rhythm that is rapid. Since the previous tracing of [**2159-5-24**]
junctional rhythm is present with interference dissociation.
Admission CXR [**2159-5-24**]: Low inspiratory lung volumes, but
otherwise no acute
cardiopulmonary process.
Cardiac Cath [**2159-5-24**]:
1. Selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system
demonstrated one vessel disease. The LMCA had no
angiographically apparent disease. The LAD had no
angiographically apparent disease. The Cx had no
angiographically apparent disease. The RCA had a proximal 50%
stenosis as well as a distal 70% stenosis that was thrombotic
and ulcerated. The distal RCA stenosis was located proximal to
the PL/PDA bifurcation.
2. Successful PTCA and stenting of distal RCA with a 4.5x28mm
Vision BMS
postdilated to 5.0mm.
3. Successful PCI of proximal PL with 5.0x18 Ultra stent.
4. Airway compromise from trauma requiring fiberoptic intubation
by
anesthesia staff.
5. Unsuccessful PTCA of distal PL cutoff with 2.5mm balloon.
6. Successful rescue PTCA of PDA origin with 2.0x15mm Apex
balloon.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. One vessel coronary artery disease.
2. STEMI
3. Successful PCI distal RCA.
3. Successful PCI proximal PL.
4. Unsuccessful PTCA of distal PL cutoff.
5. Successful rescue PTCA of PDA origin.
6. Successful fiberoptic intubation by anesthesia staff for
airway
protection.
CT Head w/o Contrast [**2159-5-24**]: No acute intracranial abnormality
CT C-spine w/o Contrast [**2159-5-24**]: No evidence of acute fracture or
malalignment of the cervical spine.
CT Sinus/Mandidble/Maxillofacial Non-Contrast [**2159-5-24**]: Multiple
facial fractures are seen involving the bilateral nasal bones,
bilateral maxillary sinuses (anterior, lateral, posterior and
medial walls), the right palatine process of the maxilla and
palatine bone, bilateral
pterygoid plates, bilateral frontal processes of the maxillae,
right lateral orbital wall and right orbital floor. The globes
appear intact. No extraocular muscle herniation is seen. The
bilateral lamina papyracea are intact. Blood is seen throughout
the bilateral maxillary sinuses, ethmoid air cells, sphenoid
sinuses and frontal sinuses. Soft tissue swelling and hematoma
is seen in the frontal scalp along with
subcutaneous emphysema extending to the right periorbital region
and along the right cheek. Subcutaneous emphysema extends to the
masticator space
bilaterally, right greater than left. The globes appear intact.
No
mandibular fracture is seen. IMPRESSION: Multiple bilateral
facial fractures with involvement of the right lateral orbital
wall and floor as described above. The globes appear intact and
no evidence of ocular muscle entrapment is seen.
CT Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast [**2159-5-24**]: 1. No acute
traumatic injuries seen within the torso. 2. Left adrenal
nodule, which does not meet criteria for an adrenal adenoma on
this exam. Further evaluation with dedicated CT or MRI of the
adrenal glands is recommended. 3. Mild dependent atelectasis in
both lungs.
TTE [**2159-5-25**]: There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy
with normal cavity size. There is moderate regional left
ventricular systolic dysfunction with inferior, inferolateral
and inferoseptal akinesis. The remaining segments contract
normally (LVEF = 30%). Right ventricular chamber size is normal
with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. The number of aortic
valve leaflets cannot be determined. There is no aortic valve
stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION:
Moderate regional biventricular systolic dysfunction, c/w
RCA-territory infarction and RV infarction. Mild mitral
regurgitation. Mild pulmonary hypertension.
Cardiac Cath [**2159-5-25**]:
1. Selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system
revealed
one vessel coronary artery disease. The RCA was 100% occluded
proximal
to the prior stent. The LCA was not engaged.
2. Limited resting hemodyanmics revealed severe hypotension with
a
central pressure of 86/53 mmHg on high dose dopamine.
3. Successful placement of 40cc IABP for hemodyanamic support.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. One vessel coronary artery disease with occluded RCA due to
stent
thrombosis.
2. Severe hypotension on high dose dopamine.
3. Successful placement of IABP for hemodynamic support.
CT Head w/o Contrast [**2159-5-29**]: 1. New small right parafalcine
subdural hematoma. 2. New scalp collections, left greater than
right, likely evolving hematomas. Overlying fascial enhancement
is likely inflammatory, but please correlate clinically to
exclude the possibility of superimposed infection.
CT Sinus with Contrast [**2159-5-29**]: 1. Extensive facial fractures as
described above, overall unchanged in appearance since [**2159-5-24**]. 2. Interval increase in opacification of the paranasal
sinuses, in part due to blood. This is a common finding in
intubated patients. However, acute sinusitis cannot be excluded,
if it is suspected on clinical grounds.
CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis with Contrast [**2159-5-29**]: 1. No acute
intra-abdominal pathology or source of infection identified. 2.
Interval development of small pericardial effusion and moderate
bilateral pleural effusions with fissural component on the left.
Compressive atelectasis of left greater than right lower lobes.
3. Fatty deposition in the liver. 4. Interval development of
trace amount of free fluid within the abdomen and pelvic
cavities, as well as interval increase in subcutaneous edema
likely
reflect a slightly fluid overloaded status.
TTE [**2159-6-2**]: Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The
left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (LVEF= 25 %)
secondary to extensive inferior and posterior akinesis with
focal dyskinesis of the midventricular segment of the inferior
free wall. The right ventricular cavity is dilated with
depressed free wall contractility. There is a small pericardial
effusion. The effusion appears circumferential. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade. Compared with the findings
of the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2159-6-1**], focal
dyskinesis of the inferior free wall is now present.
TTE [**2159-6-4**]: No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color
Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. There is severe regional left
ventricular systolic dysfunction with infer-septal, inferioa,
and infero-lateral hypokinesis to akinesis. The apex appears
hypokinetic. No masses or thrombi are seen in the left
ventricle. There is no ventricular septal defect. The right
ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with mild global free wall
hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate to
severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary artery systolic
pressure could not be determined. There is a small to moderate
sized pericardial effusion. There are no echocardiographic signs
of tamponade. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of
[**2159-6-2**], no change. IMPRESSION: No VSD or pseudoaneurysm
seen.
CT Head w/o Contrast [**2159-6-6**]: 1. No acute intracranial
hemorrhage. Previously seen tiny right parafalcine subdural
hematoma has since resolved. 2. Multiple facial fractures as
before, incompletely assessed on this study. No new fracture is
identified. 3. Resolution of small bilateral scalp hematomas.
ECG [**2159-6-10**]: Supraventricular tachycardia with a ventricular
premature beat. Inferior ST segment elevation with Q waves and T
wave inversions suggesting an myocardial infarction, could be
recent/acute. T wave inversion in leads I, aVL and V5-V6 also
suggest ischemia. Clinical correlation is suggested. Low QRS
voltage in the limb leads.
Brief Hospital Course:
52yo male admitted after motorcycle accident and found to have
inferior STEMI, who underwent emergent cardiac cath with BMS to
distal RCA.
#) STEMI - Patient brought to CCU s/p emergent cardiac cath for
inferior STEMI, which revealed a proximal 50% stenosis of the
RCA as well as a distal 70% stenosis that was thrombotic and
ulcerated. Patient had BMS placed in distal RCA. There was
evidence of right ventricular ischemia/infarction. Of note,
patient had no previously known h/o CAD, but his urine tox
screen was positive for cocaine on presentation. The patient
later denied any recent cocaine use. A TTE obtained the next
day revealed moderate regional biventricular systolic
dysfunction, c/w RCA-territory infarction and RV infarction,
mild mitral regurgitation, and mild pulmonary hypertension. The
patient developed ventricular bradycardia and hypotension, and
Swan that was placed showed elevated pressures in RA, RV, LA/WP
indicating biventricular failure. Repeat cath the following day
showed thrombosis of RCA stent, and a decision was made to
medically manage the patient as at this point microvascular
perfusion was severely impaired by distal embolization and clot
formation.
Post cath he was gravely ill with acute systolic CHF and right
ventricular failure. He had an IABP placed for support, which
was gradually weaned and pulled. His cardiac enzymes peaked on
[**2159-5-26**]: CK 4480, MB: 300, Trop: 6.21. The patient was
aggressively diuresed after developing significant pulmonary
edema, and his fluid balance was closely monitored given his
pre-load dependence in setting of RV infarct. He had several
repeat TTEs during the admission, and most recent echo was on
[**2159-6-4**]. Echo showed severe regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with infer-septal, inferioa, and infero-lateral
hypokinesis to akinesis, a hypokinetic apex, mildly dilated RV,
mild global free wall hypokinesis, mod-severe MR, and a small to
moderate pericardial effusion without evidence of tamponade.
#) Supraventricular tachycardia/atrial fibrillation - On night
of initial presentation, s/p PCI, rhythm went from sinus
tachycardia to atrial tachycardia with ventricular bradycardia;
BP 60-70/40s. Arrhythmia thought to be secondary to AV nodal
infarct (RCA branch) causing some degree of heartblock. Per EP,
patient appeared to have 2:1 conduction at higher HRs with good
conduction at lower HRs (~50), and pacemaker was not indicated
at the time. On [**2159-5-28**] patient had several episodes of
sustained monomorphic V tach, lasting up to 2 min at a time with
increasing frequency. Per EP recs, patient started on
amiodarone bolus and drip. He continued to have several runs of
non-sustained V-tach, and was started on metoprolol tartrate for
additional rate control. The amiodarone was later stopped, but
the patient was continued on metoprolol. He began having
several episodes of a fib/flutter on [**2159-6-7**], without
hemodynamic compromise, and his rhythm would spontaneously
convert back to normal sinus rhythm. He had an episode of
symptomatic bradycardia on [**2159-6-10**], with ECG/telemetry showing
retrograde p waves and junctional rhythm, rate 50/min. The
patient was subjectively SOB but not hypoxic, and episode was
brief. No further episodes of symptomatic bradycardia, but
patient should be closely monitored. Of note, patient had
episode of a fib/flutter on [**2159-6-10**] for which he received 2.5mg
metoprolol IV, with resultant drop in BP and requiring 250cc
bolus NS. His CHADS score is 1 and he will receive aspirin for
thromboembolic prophylaxis.
#) Systolic heart failure: Patient has left ventricular
dysfunction likely seconary to his STEMI with an ejection
fraction of 30%. His heart failure regimen includes metoprolol,
lisinopril, and spironolactone. He was initially managed with
lasix but was autodiuresing well, so his lasix was held on
[**2159-6-10**]. This will need to be restarted as an outpatient to
prevent volume overload.
#) Hypotension - On night of presentation s/p cath, patient
developed atrial tachycardia with ventricular bradycardia and BP
60-70/40s. He was started on Dopamine for pressure support, and
would require ongoing support with several pressors to keep MAP
at goal of >65. He was eventually weaned off pressors, however
his SBPs generally remained in the 80s-90s. He had some degree
of orthostatic hypotension, and his anti-hypertensive and
diuretic regimen were adjusted accordingly. Of note, patient's
SBP persistently in 80s-90s in days prior to discharge. Patient
asymptomatic with SBP in 80s.
#) Respiratory Status - Patient sustained multiple facial
fractures in the MVA, and required intubation for significant
airway swelling. During his CCU course, he was gradually weaned
off ventilator support, and he was successfully extubated on
[**2159-6-3**].
#) Sinusitis/Fever - During early hospital course, patient was
persistently febrile and diaphoretic. In setting of multiple
facial fractures, he was started on broad spectrum antibiotic
coverage. Per ID, patient was on regimen of vancomycin,
aztreonam, cipro, and metronidazole (given penicillin allergy).
No clear source of infection was initially identified, although
it was felt that patient may have develoepd sinusitis in setting
of facial trauma. CT sinus revealed opacification of sinuses,
however ENT consult did not feel there was any pus, abscess or
fluid collection ammenable to drainage. The patient's
antibiotic regimen was tailored back to metronidazole and
levofloxacin, for a 14-day course. He had a PICC placed on
[**2159-6-4**]. The patient was also placed on standing Tylenol during
the time of his persistent fevers. Prior to discharge, the
patient was off all antibiotics and remained afebrile. He had
1/4 bottles on blood culture positive for coag negative staph,
which was felt to be a contaminant. Repeat blood cultures were
negative.
#) Facial fractures - Multiple facial fractures noted on CT,
including the bilateral nasal bones, bilateral maxillary sinuses
(anterior, lateral, posterior and medial
walls), the right palatine process of the maxilla and palatine
bone, bilateral
pterygoid plates, bilateral frontal processes of the maxillae,
right lateral
orbital wall and right orbital floor. Blood was present in the
bilateral
maxillary sinuses, ethmoid air cells, sphenoid sinuses and
frontal sinuses. The globes appeared intact with no evidence of
ocular muscle entrapment. He was seen by trauma surgery,
plastic surgery, and ophthomology. Plastic surgery irrigated and
sutured facial lacerations in CCU, and ophtho was consulted for
periorbital swelling and orbital fx on CT. They did not feel
there was evidence of entrapment or intraoccular involvement.
#) Asymmetric Pupils - Left pupil noted to be 1-2mm more
constricted than the right, and neurology was consulted. Both
left and right pupil would constrict to light. Immediate CT scan
could not be obtained secondary to patient's hemodynamic
instability, but CT head once patient medically stable revealed
only a small subdural hematoma. Ophthomology was [**Name (NI) 653**], and
felt it was highly unlikely any intraocular pathology was
contributing to his asymmetric pupils.
#) Delirium/Agitation - Patient developed agitation and delirium
later in his hospital course, thought to be ICU-related
delirium. He was seen by psychiatry, and started on a regimen
of olanazpine and mirtazapine. He also responsed well to
additional olanzapine prn agitation. He had some difficulty
sleeping, and seemed to respond well to trazadone prn insomnia.
Patient will have neuropsych testing in outpatient setting.
#) Hyperglycemia - The patient had no previous diagnosis of
diabetes, but was persistently hyperglycemic during CCU course,
requiring glargine and an insulin sliding scale. HbA1c was 6.0.
He did not tolerate metformin, and was briefly started on
glyburide. However he had some lower blood sugars in the 60s on
glyburide, and this medication was stopped. He will need close
monitoring of his blood sugar levels following discharge.
#) FEN - The patient was started on tube feeds via OG tube while
he was intubated. His diet was advanced following his
extubation, and he was tolerating a cardiac healthy regular diet
at time of discharge.

w/clots in ostomy bag. States ostomy bag filled with blood clots
but there was no abdominal pain or cramping associated with
output. Some lightheadedness, but pt feels that was more related
to anxiety over the output vs. blood loss. Pt has been taking

Brief Hospital Course:
54yo m w/metastatic colorectal cancer complicated by multiple
episodes of ascending cholangitis secondary to tumor obstruction
and is s/p several stents who presents with GI bleed and
obstructive jaundice.
1. GI Bleed: Patient's HCT remained relatively stable throughout
the hospital course, and he was seen by the GI team who decided
not to pursue any invasive tests given that he recently had a
coloscopy and gastroscopy both of which were negative. He was
also seen by the stoma nurse who noted that he had some variceal
veins at the edge of his stoma and that could be the cause of
his bleed. Recommended some pressure applications during oozing.
His HCT remained stable, and he was tolerating po well and so it
was decided to hold off on any intervention
2. Obstructive Jaundice: Has had history of multiple cholangitis
secondary to obstruction from his metastatic cancer. Patient
presented jaundiced but did not have any fevers, and no
leukocytosis. Decided to go ahead for ERCP and tolerated the
procedure well. During the procedure, they performed a balloon
sweep and found some hemobilia and pus in his ducts. It was
re-canulated. His LFTs continued to slowly trend down after the
procedure. Given the hemobilia, it was thought that his bleed
could have been secondary to that. To complete a 7 day course of
Levofloxacin.
3. Metastatic colorectal cancer: Known end stage disease and he
is currently DNR/DNI. We had introduced the idea of the
palliative team consult but patient was not interested but the
wife was. Palliative team notified and discussed with wife as
per her request. He also has some abdominal distension but we
decided to hold off on the Lasix given his rise in Creatinine.
4. Acute Renal Failure: Patient's creatinine has been stable
through most of his hospital course but on the day of discharge,
it had bumped to 2.0. Unclear etiology but there was a call from
the lab about ? anicteric sample. A repeat creatinine was
checked and it was found to be 1.5. At that time, his PCP was
notified and made aware, and we informed his PCP, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
that we were going to have [**Last Name (STitle) 269**] come out and draw his blood on
Friday and fax him the results of his Creatinine. Case managers
were also notified regarding [**Last Name (STitle) 269**] setup. His Lasix was held
during discharge, and we dosed his antibiotics based on his
renal clearance.

History of Present Illness:
Ms [**Known lastname **] is a 74 year-old female with hx of COPD on home oxygen,
asthma, dCHF, diabetes, and remote history of colon cancer who
presented to the ED with several days of worsening cough and
dsypnea.
The patient states she last felt completely well two weeks ago.
Two days ago she began to have increasing cough, productive of
mucous. Denies blood in the mucous. No fevers, but does admit
to some chills at night. Does admit to left-sided rib pain with
coughing, but no other chest pain. In terms of her COPD
history, she has never required intubation and hasn't received
steroids recently. She is on [**3-15**] L of oxygen at baseline. She
did not have a flu shot this year. She did have one last year
and a pneumovax last year.
EMS was called and found her to be satting at 94% on NRB with
coarse wheezing throughout her lung fields. She was given 2
albuterol nebs on her way to the ED.
In the ED, inital VS: T 100.5 HR 116 BP 133/86 RR 28 Sat 92%
on a NRB. CXR was unremakrable. EKG showed sinus tachycardia.
On exam she had increased work of breathing. She was placed on
a continuous neb x 1 hour, but when she was tried to be spaced
out to combivent nebs/nasal cannula her oxygen sats dropped to
the low 80's (82% on 5L NC) so she was placed back on a NRB.
She was also given levofloxacin 750 mg IV, 2 gm IV magnesium,
and 125 mg IV methyprednisolone. She also got 1 L NS. Per
report her lung exam/tachypnea did improve with the nebs given
in the ED.
Currently she states her breathing is much improved from when
she arrived in the ED. She still feels slightly short of breath
at rest now.
On review of systems she denies abdominal pain, vomiting,
diarrhea, new myalgias or arthralgias. She does admit to a HA
and slight nausea previously.

Brief Hospital Course:
TO FOLLOW UP:
- prednisone taper
- titration of insulin as prednisone weaned off
Ms [**Known lastname **] is a 74 yo female with COPD on home oxygen, asthma,
dCHF, and DM II who was admitted with cough, dsypnea, and
persistent hypoxia consistent with a COPD exacerbation. She was
difficult to wean from BIPAP and stayed in the MICU for 7 days
while her respiratory function slowly recovered. PNA felt less
likely to be contributing, but treated with 5 day course of
levofloxacin. Additionally, has diastolic failure and was
diursed in a effort to improve her respiratory status.
# COPD Flare: Patient is oxygen dependent (2-4L) at baseline,
but was persistently hypoxic to the low 80's in the ED on
increased oxygen support even after several neb treatments and
she was admitted to the MICU on BIPAP. She did not require
intubation. Atypical or early PNA felt to be possible and she
was treated with 5d of levofloxacin. COPD treated with high
dose steroids, tapered to 50mg on discharge, tiotroprium,
albuterol nebs, monteleukast, spiriva and fluticasone inh [**Hospital1 **].
She was in the MICU for 7 days with difficulty weaning from
BIPAP but called out to floor on HD 7. Legionella negative. She
will need her prednisone to be tapered at rehab as she improves.
Would do slow taper given significant COPD.
# Nausea/vomiting: The day the patient was called out to the
MICU, she developed nausea/vomiting overnight on [**2-19**] and had an
elevated white count to the 20's on am labs. This resolved with
bowel movements and WBC count felt to be [**3-13**] steroids and they
trended down to 16 on day of discharge. C. diff was not sent
and she was not treated with antibiotics.
# Hyponatremia: Na of 132 in the ED. Likely slightly dry on
admission. Resolved with IVFs. Likely secondary to hypovolemic
hyponatremia.
# Diabetes Type II: Patient on metformin and glipizide as an
outpatient. These were held while she was acutely ill. Sugars
were high on the sliding scale so lantus qam was added and her
sliding scale was uptitrated, it is attached to this summary.
As she weans off steroids, will likely need insulin titrated.
# Chronic dCHF/hypertension: Patient has an EF >55% on her
last TTE in [**12-17**]. Normal BNP in the ED and no evidence of
volume overload on exam or CXR. Mostly normotensive. She was
continued on diltiazem and lisinopril was added back as her
blood pressure have been stable. TTE reordered due to concern
that her respiratory issues may be paritally cardiac which
showed no change (EF > 55%). Hctz was added back on [**2-19**]. She
is not on a BB as she has no systolic failure.
# Hx of arrhythmia s/p ablation: She was continued on
Diltiazem 180 mg po daily which was uptitrated to 260 mg daily.
# Depression/anxiety: She was continued on Fluoxetine 40 mg po
daily.
# GERD: She was continued on Omeprazole 20 mg po daily.
# Hyperlipidemia: She was continued on Simvastatin 40 mg po qhs

History of Present Illness:
This is a 48 year old male with mental retardation, history of
seizure disorder (unknown etiology, absence type, last [**12-6**]) who
came to medical attention after having a generalized seizure at
his group home. After his seizure he was taken to OSH, where
VS 103.4, HR 119, BP 68/32 resolving to 102/67 without
intervention, RR 24, O2 Sat 94% on 1.5 L nasal cannula. He was
lethargic with diffuse "maculopapular blanching" rash. He was
also noted to be in acute kidney injury with Cr 2.1 with a WBC
count of 8.3 (with 20% bands). INR was 3.6 (pt on chronic
warfarin for history of DVT *2) and UA, CXR, and CT head were
without acute process. He received ceftriaxone 2gm, gentamicin
120mg, and fosphenytoin 1000 mg. As he had what appeared
consistent with a drug rash and was recently started on
treatment for cellulitis with TMP/Sulf he was also presumptively
treated for anyphylactic shock with IM epineprhine, IVF,
methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine, and famotidine. He was
then started on dopamine gtt and transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for
further management.
Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**], VS: T 98.9, P 112, BP 126/44, RR 21, O2
92% on 100% non-rebreather mask. He was quickly weaned off
dopamine. At that point exam was notable for
delirium/agitation, diffuse erythematous macular rash, edema,
and oral mucosal irritation on the tongue and hard palate with
conjunctival injection. He received 2-3L LR for hypotension
with CVP in ~14-17 range. Because he was persistently agitated
he received 2mg lorazepam and 2 mg haloperidol with resulting
sedation then progressive hypoxia requiring intubation.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Unobtainable as patient initially
unresponsive and then without enough mental status to report.
His mother denied any changes in bowel or bladder habits, known
fevers or chills prior to the day of presentation, complaints of
chest pain, labored breathing, or other complaints.

OTHER RESULTS
==============
ECG [**2193-5-3**]:
Sinus tachycardia. RSR' pattern in lead V1. Reverse anterior R
wave
progression. Clinical correlation is suggested. Non-specific T
wave changes.
Chest Radiograph [**2193-5-3**]:
FINDINGS: Lung volumes are low and there is elevation of the
right
hemidiaphragm. There are bilateral infiltrates throughout both
lungs central greater than peripheral, it is difficult to assess
the cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes secondary to the low
lung volumes and overlying infiltrates. There is a left
subclavian line with tip in the SVC.
EEG [**2193-5-7**]:
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal portable EEG due to the slow and
disorganized background. This abnormality is suggestive of a
widespread
encephalopathy of medication, metabolic disturbance, or
infection
etiology. Of note is the sinus tachycardia. There were no
lateralized
or epileptiform features seen.
Chest Radiograph [**2193-5-10**]:
IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to [**5-8**]:
Consolidation in the perihilar right lung and infrahilar left
lung has
improved consistent with resolving pneumonia. There is no good
evidence for
edema. Heart size is top normal, mediastinal vasculature hard to
assess,
pulmonary vessels are minimally engorged. No pneumothorax or
pleural effusion.
Trasnthoracic Echocardiogram [**2193-5-14**]:
Conclusions
The left atrium is normal in size. The interatrial septum is not
well visualized (suboptimal views). Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF>55%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left
ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). The right
ventricular cavity is borderline dilated with normal free wall
contractility. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no
pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
48 year old male with past medical history of mental
retardation, seizure disorder and DVT* 2 who presented with a
seizure and mental status changes and was found to have seizure.
1)Meningitis: The patient presented with a seizure, a fever to
103.4, and altered mental status. He was unable to answer
questions about localizing symptoms. Meningitis was initially
suspected due to skin rash, though this was more maculopapular
than petechial in nature. On the first day of his
hospitalization he received vancomycin/ceftriaxone/and
acyclovir, which would be appropriate empiric treatment of a
non-specified meningitis/encephalitis. Unfortunately, due to
difficulties with obtaining an LP, this was not performed until
hospital day three and showed pleiocytosis and increased protein
but was ultimately culture negative. Ultimately, this was
thought most consistent with partially treated bacterial
meningitis. Therefore, the patient was treated with
vancomycin/ceftriaxone with resolution of his fevers and
improvement of his mental status to baseline without further
seizures. Acyclovir was stopped when HSV PCR returned negative.
The patient will ultimately need to complete fourteen days of
antibiotic therapy for meningitis.
2) Seizure: The patient has a previous history of seizures and
has been on phenytoin. His previous seizures have not been
grand mal, but this appears to have been the type that occurred
on the day of presentation. The likely precipitant of this
seizure was the patient's infection and fever, though phenytoin
level was also a bit low. Initially, he was maintained on IV
phenytoin then fospheynytoin but then transitioned back to his
outpatient PO regimen as mental status resolved. He never
showed signs of further seizure activity and EEG obtained to
rule out further seizure activity was not consistent with
persistent epileptiform activity.
3) ? Allergic Reaction/Respiratory Failure: The patient had a
presentation of rash, hypotension, and per report swelling of
the throat and tongue. This could be consistent with acute
allergic reaction and the TMP/Sulfa he had been given for
cellulitis is certainly a potential causative [**Doctor Last Name 360**]. Still, it
seems unlikely he would react suddenly and this remarkably to
TMP/Sulfa after he had been receiving it for a full day.
Nevertheless, he was treated appropriately for an anaphylactic
reaction with epinephrine, histamine blocker, and steroids and
recovered.
4) Respiratory failure: As stated before it is difficult to tell
if the patient actually had anaphylactic shock leading to airway
compromise and respiratory failure. Other possible etiologies
would include pulmonary edema given need for vigorous fluid
resuscitation soon after presentation and oversedation in the
emergency departments. Ultimately, the patient was weaned off
supplementary oxygen without event.
5) Altered mental status: Per the patient's mother at baseline
he has the mental status of a small child with minimal verbal
communication skills but he follows commands and interacts
appropriately. The patient was initially extremely somonolent
and then minimally responsive raising concern for non-convulsive
status epilepticus. EEG was more consistent with
encephalopathy, however, and the patient's mental status
eventually resolved to baseline with treatment of his underlying
condition and maximization of other variables. Likely this was
due to toxic-metabolic delirium in the context of severe
infection.
6) History of DVT: The patient has a history of two DVT's and
thus is presumably on lifelong anticoagulation. His INR was
initially supratherapeutic so further anticoagulation was held
then he was transitioned to low molecular weight heparin for
systemic anticoagulation while he was NPO. Once he was eating,
warfarin was restarted and LMWH was stopped after 24 hours of
therapeutic INR on coumadin.
7) Non sustained ventricular tachycardia: On the morning of
[**2193-5-13**] the patient had two brief runs of NSVT that broke
without further management. This was discussed with EP who
thought barring signs of structural heart disease that this
likely had no prognostic significance and was likely simply a
response to acute illness. The patient had an echocardiogram
that was within normal limits and he had no further episodes of
VT. Of note this also happened while he was being phenytoin
loaded, which may have contributed to arrythmia.
8) FEN: The patient initially required tube feeds due to altered
mental status and lack of inclination to eat. He self
discontinued his dobhoff unfortunately and due to a desire to
spare another invasive process if possible he was observed and
thankfully had cleared enough to tolerate PO in around forty
eight hours. After that he tolerated a full diet with out
incident.
He tolerated a full diet prior to discharge. All vital signs
were stable and he was afebrile>72 hours. The patient was full
code.

History of Present Illness:
Mr [**Known lastname **] is a 60 M w/ end-stage COPD on home O2, CHF and 3
prior suicide attempts who presents to [**Hospital1 18**] ED s/p witnessed
mechanical fall down one entire flight of stairs after tripping
over his O2 tubing. Per wife and 14 year old son, he was found
with empty bottles of anti-hypertensives and anti-epileptic
medications including proprolol, gabapentin and mirtazipine that
were prescribed to a friend. [**Name (NI) **] had been slurring his words
and walking hunched over all day yesterday after having been out
at night for 3 hours without telling his wife where he was
going. Upon his return, he fell down the stairs after tripping
over his O2 tubing. Per wife who subsequently called 911, he did
not lose consciousness and was able to ask for a tissue prior to
arrival of EMS. He presented to the ED A&Ox1-2 MAE and following
commands. On initial trauma exam, there was no spinal tenderness
and good rectal tone without gross blood. During his ED course,
the pt rapidly deteriorated from a respiratory standpoint and
required intubation to maintain SaO2 > 80s. Pt was a difficult
intubation and aspirated thick olivey liquid in the field, for
which he was treated with CTX/Flagyl. (He had a heavy dinner
consisting of mashed potatoes, meatloaf, a scone and ice cream).
.
CT head/C-spine/torso shwoed injuries c/w C4 pedicle fx, T12/L1
compression fxs and T12 spinous process fractures. He also has R
clavicular fx and R pareital subgaleal hematoma as well as

In [**Name (NI) 10115**] pt is intubated and sedated, not following commands as
on propofol but [**Name8 (MD) **] RN was awake and answering questions
appropriately before propofol bolus was given. Per patient's
wife who is in the process of getting divorced from him, he has
had multiple suicide attempts in the past and this was one of
them. His 1st 2 prior attempts were narcotics overdoses and his
3rd was antifreeze ingestion. He apparantly has been having
suicidal ideation since [**2124-10-3**] but exhibited markedly
worsened depressive behaviour over the past few weeks when he
lost his job and filed for bankruptcy. Per wife, they recently
had a meting with their attorney to declare bankruptcy and sell
their house. His wife then told him she wanted to get separated
and they recently looked at rooms for him to move into. She
believes this may have precipitated his recent suicide attempt.

................................................................
MICROBIOLOGY: c diff positive
................................................................
IMAGING:
[**2126-3-22**] CXR: The lungs are low in volume and show bilateral
interstitial opacities. The cardiac silhouette is enlarged. The
mediastinal silhouette and hilar contours are normal. No pleural
effusions are present.
.
[**2126-3-22**] CT Head w/o con: Right subgaleal vertex hematoma. No
intracranial hemorrhage.
.
[**2126-3-22**] CT C-Spine w/o con:
1. Left left superior articular facet fracture at C4.
2. A small amount of air noted along the PLL at C5 is likely
related to degenerative disc disease. There are disc osteophyte
complexes at C4/5 and C6/7.
3. Retrolisthesis of C4 on C5.
.
[**2126-3-22**] CT Chest/Abd/Pelvis w/o con:
1. Compression fractures of the T12 and L1 vertebral bodies and
fracture of the T12 spinous process as described above.
2. Fracture of the right distal clavicle (features are
consistent with a chronic finding).
3. Ground-glass opacities in the right upper and middle lobes
and atelectasis and consolidation in right lower lobe could
represent sequelae of aspiration or pneumonia. However, given
the history of trauma, pulmonary hemorrhage cannot be excluded.
.
[**2126-3-23**] TTE:
The left ventricle is not well seen. Due to suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF>55%). The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. There is no aortic valve stenosis. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal.
IMPRESSION: Very suboptimal image quality due to patient's body
habitus. Left ventricular systolic function is probably normal,
a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. The
right ventricle is not well seen. No significant valvular
abnormality seen.
.
[**2126-3-23**] MRI Spine:
1. Mild to moderate compressions of the superior endplate of T12
and L1 without retropulsion or spinal stenosis.
2. Multilevel degenerative changes. Moderate spinal stenosis
seen at L4-5 level and mild-to-moderate spinal stenosis seen at
L3-4 level. Bilateral spondylolysis of L5 with grade 1
spondylolisthesis of L5 over S1 and foraminal narrowing.
.
[**2126-3-28**] RUE U/S:
1. Superficial thrombophlebitis involving the right cephalic
vein.
2. No evidence of deep venous thrombosis within the right
subclavian, axillary, or brachial veins.
Brief Hospital Course:
60M w/ COPD, CHF, s/p mechanical fall down a flight of stairs w/
multiple spinous fx, subgaleal hematoma, and difficult
intubation for respiratory failure c/b aspiration event.
.
# RESPIRATORY FAILURE/ASPIRATION: Patient haS primarily
hypercarbic respiratory failure w/ primary respiratory acidosis
as pH 7.22 PCO2 83 PO2 136 but this is also oxygenation failure
as ABG was on 100% FiO2 so indicates high A-a gradient. Patient
has end-stage COPD and likely has PCO2 in the 60s. Acute
precipitant of respiratory failure is likely toxic ingestion
superimposed on underlying severe lung disease. Upon DL for
intubation, gross food particles evident in airway, thick olive
paste secretions from NG. Marked leukocytosis at 27.3. He was
started on ceftriaxone and flagyl for his presumed aspiration
pneumonia. Sputum cultures grew out GPCs, so he was started on
vancomycin and flagyl was discontinued. He eventually was
switched to vancomycin and cefepime, he eventually concluded a 7
day course. Unfortunately, he developed ARDS and could not be
successfully weaned down on any of his ventilator settings. A
family meeting was held, and the decision was made to make the
patient comfort measures only (he was originally DNR, but not
DNI). He was terminally extubated and expired on [**2126-4-6**] at
4:15pm. The medical examiner accepted the case for review.
.
# FEVERS: His temperature started to spike on HD #2. His
antiobiotics were broadened and he was repeatedly pan-cultured.
With these, he was found to have c diff + stool. He was treated
with oral vancomycin and iv flagyl. He continued to periodically
spike fevers during the course of his stay, in spite of
treatment with antibiotics. As above he was eventually made CMO
and terminally extubated.
.
# SPINAL TRAUMA: T12 and L1 compression fractures with fracture
of the T12 spinous process as well as Left pedicle fracture at
C4 w/ retrolisthesis of C4 on C5. Neurosurgery evalutated the
patient, but no surgical intervention. [**Location (un) 2848**] J collar applied
and TLSO brace were applied whenever he was >30.
.
# ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: He has episodes of atrial fibrillation
with RVR during his hospital stay which were generally well
controlled with diltiazem.
.
# ATTEMPTED SUICIDE: Unclear what medications the patient took
and if it clearly was a suicide attempt. U tox was negative.
Patient does have history of multiple past suicide attempts and
he has been increasingly depressed recently. Intent was to set
him up with psychiatry, social work, however patient was made
CMO and expired.
.
# HYPERKALEMIA: He was newly hyperkalemic upon presentation at
6.2, likely secondary to acute kidney injury. An EKG was done
w/no evidence of cardiac dysfunction. This resolved with
resuscitation.
.
The patient was maintained on a ppi for Gi prophylaxis,
pneumoboots and subcutaneous heparin while he was in the
hospital. He was given tube feedings for nutrition. Eventually,
the decision was made by his health care proxy and his entire
family after an extensive family meeting to make the patient
comfort measures only. He was terminally extubated, made
comfortable with scopolamine and fentanyl. He expired on [**2126-4-6**]
at 4:15pm. The medical examiner was contact[**Name (NI) **] given that the
death involved a trauma and a possible suicide attempt. The ME
accepted the case for review.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old female
with a history of restrictive lung disease, diastolic
congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, obstructive
sleep apnea who developed upper respiratory symptoms two days
prior to admission. Mildly productive cough. No fevers,
chills. No pain. No shortness of breath. No nausea,
vomiting. No dysuria. No pharyngitis. No stiff neck. No
headache. Had apparently been lethargic for approximately
three days.
On day of admission patient's daughter spoke with her on the
phone and noticed her to be extremely lethargic and falling
asleep while on the phone speaking with her. Patient's
daughter called 9-1-1 and emergency medical services found
patient oriented times three with oxygen saturations of 50%
on room air.
In the Emergency Department patient's O2 sats were 84% on 6
liters nonrebreather mask. Chest x-ray revealed a right
lower lobe infiltrate. Was given Albuterol nebulizers times
two, Solu-Medrol 125 times one, Rocephin 1 gram intravenously
times one, and Clindamycin 600 mg intravenously times one,
and subsequently transferred to the Medical Intensive Care
Unit for noninvasive ventilation.
In the Medical Intensive Care Unit patient was placed on
continuous positive air pressure for improved oxygenation and
CO2 exchange. Was treated with Azithromycin and Ceftriaxone
for the pneumonia. She was additionally given Albuterol and
Atrovent inhalers to improve pulmonary function and given
Lasix for diuresis as patient was mildly overloaded on chest
x-ray. Code was discussed and was made "Do Not Resuscitate"/
"Do Not Intubate." It was subsequently called out to the
floor.

right upper lobe opacity; stable right lower lobe and left
lower lobe consolidation; improving left pleural effusion;
persistent uppers on vascular redistribution.
CONCISE SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Hypercarbic respiratory failure: Ms. [**Known lastname 32729**] was
admitted directly to the Medical Intensive Care Unit for
management of her hypercarbic respiratory failure with
noninvasive ventilation. She is a chronic CO2 retainer
ranging from 50s to 110s on her CO2. Serial arterial blood
gases were checked to monitor her progress.
On her initial presentation her Chem-7 and ABG were
consistent with her respiratory acidosis without metabolic
compensation and with hypoxia. No anion gap. She was
started on Solu-Medrol 100 mg t.i.d., then changed to
Prednisone 60 mg q. day upon discharge to the floor.
The patient was initially improving on BiPAP as noted on
ABGs. However, she did not tolerate BIPAP and refused to
continue with it. An agreement was made between patient and
team to keep face mask and nasal cannula during the periods
that she was off the BiPAP. She did so through the remainder
of her MICU stay. She was started on antibiotics in the MICU
for treatment of her pneumonia. They used Rocephin and
Azithromycin to treat her community-acquired pneumonia. It
is very likely that this development of pneumonia may have
been the cause of her hypercarbic respiratory failure.
In addition, patient was noted to be somewhat volume
overloaded on subsequent exams in the MICU and was also noted
to have some congestion on chest x-ray. She was started on
Lasix 20 mg intravenously b.i.d. in the MICU to assist with
diuresis and resolution of her pulmonary edema.
Patient was then transferred to the floor and she continued
to refuse the BiPAP and CPAP assistance. Patient
additionally refused any other antibiotic medications on the
last day of her MICU stay as she was called out to the floor.
That was hospital day five.
Team, nursing, and Attending had a meeting to the patient to
address her refusal of oxygen and medication management.
Patient was convinced to keep oxygen at 2 liters throughout
the remainder of her stay and also agreed to continue taking
her medications to improve her pneumonia. Repeat chest
x-rays showed improvement of pneumonia and some of her
pulmonary congestion.
Whenever patient was off the oxygen patient would have
episodes of agitation and confusion. Prior to her discharge
patient's mentation sensorium was improved, pneumonia was
under treatment, and volume overload was significantly
improved.
2. Diastolic dysfunction: Patient was noted to be in
pulmonary edema and was volume overloaded on exam with an
elevated jugulovenous pressure on subsequent exams in the
MICU. Patient was started on 20 mg intravenous Lasix b.i.d.
until euvolemic. Euvolemia was assessed by measuring her
JVP, serial weights, and monitoring daily input and output.
Patient was euvolemic prior to discharge.
3. Right lower lobe pneumonia: Patient was treated for
community-acquired pneumonia with Azithromycin and Rocephin.
On hospital day five of admission patient refused two to
three doses of her antibiotics likely secondary to confusion,
agitation because patient had been off oxygen for quite some
time.
Meeting was held with patient, team, Attending, and nurse to
convince her to comply with treatment goals. She agreed to
continue taking her medications and keeping the oxygen on
thanks to Dr.[**Name (NI) 9920**] persuasion. Pneumonia was under
treatment prior to discharge. Repeat chest x-rays showed
improvement in the pneumonia.
4. History of atrial fibrillation: Patient was continued on
Diltiazem throughout the remainder of her hospital course.
She was in normal sinus throughout hospital stay. The
patient was continued on Coumadin with INR goal of 2 to 2.5.
Patient was taken off Coumadin on hospital day three to
hospital day five because was noted to have a
supertherapeutic INR. Coumadin was reinstituted two days
prior to discharge and was discharged on a therapeutic INR.
5. Obstructive sleep apnea: CPAP was attempted; however,
patient refused to have it on. CPAP was not well tolerated
by patient and did not have it on throughout the remainder of
her hospital course. Agreed to have two liter nasal cannula
on at all times.
6. Endocrine: Hypothyroidism: Patient was continued on her
outpatient dose of Synthroid. Hyperglycemia: The patient
was placed on regular insulin sliding scale during the time
that she was on steroids. Steroids were stopped by patient
on hospital day five, not allowing for a taper. Ultimately,
her regular sliding scale was discontinued two days prior to
discharge since good blood glucose levels were within normal
range.
7. Code: Long discussion held with patient and daughter by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. Patient agreed to be "Do Not Resuscitate"/"Do Not
Intubate" and being made comfortable when sick. However, she
did not sign Comfort Measures Only form and was reluctant to
discuss this further with [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 2270**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1764**]. The discussion was to
arranged with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] on subsequent office visits. She is,
however, DNR/DNI.
8. Acute renal failure: Patient was noted to be in acute
renal failure during her MICU course. However, when
discharged to the floor patient's renal failure had resolved.
Her peak creatinine was 1.3 and her creatinine prior to
discharge was 1.0.
DISCHARGE CONDITION: Fair.

History of Present Illness:
86F history of DM2, HTN, HLD, cardiac problem, transferred from
[**Name (NI) **]. Pt presented with one month of breathing difficulty,
weight loss, cough, decreased apetite getting progressively
worse over time. Family trie to bring pt in earlier but she
refused to go to hospital. Last night pt became acute more SOB
and family called ambulance and pt brought to [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]. At
[**Hospital1 **] found to have WBC 44, HR 170's in A fib, lactate=4;
concern for possible malignant process and ? PE. Got dilt 30mg
PO and 10mg IV for HR, which improved. Also got 4L IVF. LENI
showed R DVT. Got head CT which showed nothing acute. Deferred
CTA chest due to elevated Cr (Cr 1.8). Started on heparin gtt
for DVT and concern for PE. Got azithro and ceftriaxone at
[**Hospital1 **].
During transport pt developed worsened rales/crackles possibly
secondary to 4 L IVF given.
.
In the [**Hospital1 18**] ED, initial VS were: 65, RR 32, 128/59, 97% 15L
NRB. ECG showed AFib with RVR. Patient was started on a nitro
gtt, heparin gtt, given vancomycin/zosyn, and placed on BiPAP
for resp distress which didnt tolerate. Labs were notable for a
lactate of 8.5, WBC count 49.3, INR 1.6 and Cr of 1.8. CXR: air
fluid level abscess in lung. Patient was initially trialed on
BiPAP, did not tolerate, and thus was intubated (straight
forward intubation).
Placed R IJ. CVP=13.
Lactate rose to 10 and concern for gut ischemia.
CTA chest and torso: No PE, revealed multiple abscess in L lung-
Rim enhancing fluid collection. Multiple hypodensisities in
kidney and liver suggestive of embolic infectious process.
in ED given: Vanco, zosyn, flagyl.
Thoracics consult: Poor surgical candidate. Recc drainage per IR
right now.
K=6-->insulin/D50, Kayexlate.
Gave 1 UPRBC for elevated lactate.
ED attempted to call family several times to give update, never
got through.

NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS.
Acellular specimen with bacterial overgrowth;
Correlate with microbiology report.
ECG Study Date of [**2162-3-29**] 2:29:44 AM
The rhythm is regular and most likely a junctional escape rhythm
at 60 beats per minute without clear atrial activity. Delayed R
wave transition. No previous tracing available for comparison.
Possible prior anteroseptal
myocardial infarction.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2162-3-29**] 2:45 AM
FINDINGS:
There is extensive opacification of the left hemithorax with an
air-fluid
level identified superiorly. These findings are representative
of a large
mass, possibly abscess in a fissure. Less likely would be a
large hiatal
hernia. There is rightward shift of normally midline structures.
Otherwise, the right hemithorax appears clear. No acute
fractures are identified. A dedicated chest CT is recommended
for further evaluation
Portable TTE (Complete) Done [**2162-3-29**] at 12:03:01 PM FINAL
The left atrium is elongated. No thrombus/mass is seen in the
body of the left atrium. The right atrium is markedly dilated.
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. The
estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmHg. Left
ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular
cavity is unusually small. Regional left ventricular wall motion
is normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF>55%). No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle.
There is no ventricular septal defect. The right ventricular
free wall is hypertrophied. The right ventricular cavity is
mildly dilated with normal free wall contractility. There is
abnormal diastolic septal motion/position consistent with right
ventricular volume overload. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but
aortic stenosis is not present. No masses or vegetations are
seen on the aortic valve. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral
valve prolapse. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral
valve. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate [2+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. No vegetation/mass is seen on the
pulmonic valve. Significant pulmonic regurgitation is seen.
There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. There are
no echocardiographic signs of tamponade
CT ABD & PELVIS WITH CONTRAST Study Date of [**2162-3-29**] 3:05 AM
IMPRESSION:
1. Multilobulated large left hemithorax pleural empyema with
foci of gas
noted. Given the foci of gas the differential includes recent
instrumentation
versus infection with a gas-forming organism versus a
bronchopleural fistula.
2. Multiple hypodense areas are also visualized throughout
bilateral
nonenlarged kidneys. These findings may be representative of
multiple cysts but a superinfectious process with multiple
abscesses cannot be excluded.
3. Small subsegmental right upper lobe pulmonary emboli.
4. There is mild gallbladder wall edema and mottled apparance of
the liver
are likely due to congestive hepatopathy.
5. Endotracheal tube with the tip at the level of the carina.
Retraction by
2cm is recommended.
6. Bilateral small pleural effusions.
7 . Severe cardiomegaly.

CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2162-3-31**] 2:17 AM
FINDINGS: The left pigtail catheter is unchanged in position.
The right IJ
and ET tubes terminate in the standard position. The NG tube
terminates
outside the field of view. Compared to [**3-30**], there are
increasing
bilateral pleural effusions, pulmonary vascular congestion, and
parenchymal opacities suggesting developing pulmonary edema.
Cardiomegaly is unchanged. Tere is no pneumothorax.
Findings were discussed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] by
phone at 11:45
a.m. on [**2162-3-31**].
CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST Study Date of [**2162-3-31**] 9:08 AM
IMPRESSION:
Interval resolution of a dominant gas/fluid collection within
the left
hemithorax, and near-resolution of an adjacent medial
collection. There remains a loculated posterior collection that
does not appear tocommunicate with the catheter. 2. Adjacent
severe left lower lobe atelectasis with a consolidative
component. Slightly enlarged small right pleural effusion.
Trace pericardial effusion. New moderate anasarca. Increased
caliber of the main pulmonary artery likely reflects chronic
pulmonary hypertension.
.
CT Torso [**4-4**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Reaccumulation of left sided localized hydropneumothorax s/p
pigtail
catheter removal.
2. Bilateral peribronchial ground glass opacity and patchy
opacities which
are a non-specific finding.
3. Slight decrease in size of right pleural effusion.
4. Stable increased diameter of the main pulmonary artery likely
due to
pulmonary hypertension.
5. Persistent non-mobile 1.3cm filling defect within the left
main bronchus which is suspicious for polyp, neoplasm or mucus
plug.
.
CT Chest [**4-6**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Mid-esophageal soft tissue mass severly narrows and may
invade left main bronchus.
2. Interval placement of a second left lower lung drain with
interval
decrease in size of the air and fluid collection. Persistent
left lower lung consolidation is either pneumonia or
atelectasis.
3. Markedly enlarged right atrium.
4. Thinning of the renal cortices with hyperdensity which could
represent
retained contrast or nephrocalcinosis.
.
ECHO [**4-6**]
The left atrium is elongated. The right atrium is markedly
dilated. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler.
The estimated right atrial pressure is 5-10 mmHg. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size
and regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). There is no
ventricular septal defect. with borderline normal free wall
function. There is abnormal septal motion/position consistent
with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. The diameters
of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic
stenosis is not present. No masses or vegetations are seen on
the aortic valve. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. No mass or vegetation is
seen on the mitral valve. An eccentric, posteriorly directed jet
of mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate to severe [3+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is severe pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is a very small pericardial effusion. The
effusion is echo dense, consistent with blood, inflammation or
other cellular elements. Compared with the prior study (images
reviewed) of [**2162-3-29**], the degree of TR and pulmonary
hypertension have increased.
..
INDICATIONS: 86-year-old female with esophageal cancer, lung
empyema and
ischemic right foot.
Bilateral lower extremity ABIs, Doppler waveforms, and PVRs were
performed at
rest.
FINDINGS:
RIGHT: The right ABI is 0.65 at DP. There is no signal present
at PT.
Doppler waveforms are biphasic to the level of the popliteal
artery.
Posterior tibial waveform is absent. The dorsalis pedis waveform
is
monophasic. PVRs are artifactually diminished proximally and
aphasic at the
metatarsal level suggesting severe tibial disease.
The left ABI is 0.61 at DP. The PT waveform is absent.
Left-sided Doppler
waveforms are triphasic at the popliteal level and monophasic at
the dorsalis
pedis. PVRs show significant dropoff between calf and ankle and
again between
ankle and metatarsal level suggesting severe tibial occlusive
disease.
IMPRESSION: ABIs are likely falsely elevated. Based on Doppler
waveforms and
PVRs, there is severe tibial disease bilaterally.
.
COMPARISON: CT [**4-4**] and [**2162-4-6**].
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the chest without
intravenous
contrast. Images were displayed in multiple planes.
FINDINGS: There are two pigtail catheters at the left lung base.
A
small-to-moderate effusion layers posteriorly. There is no large
air-fluid
collection in communication with the anterior or posterior
drain. Moderate
left basilar atelectasis and/or consolidation is unchanged. A
moderate right
effusion is slightly larger.
No new consolidation, nodule, or pneumothorax is present. Since
the prior
exam, an esophageal catheter has been removed. The boundaries of
a large mid
esophageal mass are hard to delineate without contrast. The
lesion measures
approximately 1.9 x 3.4 cm (2:20). Since the preceding exam five
days ago,
the left main bronchus has become completely effaced (2:20) by a
combination
of mass effect from the thickened esophagus, and bronchial
secretions. There
are extensive secretions in the distal left lower lobe segmental
bronchus at
(2:25). A tracheo-esophageal connection is not directly
visualized but would
not be suprising given the appearence.
The non-contrast appearance of the heart and great vessels shows
cardiomegaly,
massive right atrial enlargment, and minimal aortic arch
calcification. The
tip of a right subclavian line terminates in the low SVC. The
thyroid has
normal attenuation. No mesenteric, hilar or axillary adenopathy
is present.
There is residual renal excretion of contrast from [**3-29**].
There are
peripheral hyperdense foci in the visualized portions of both
kidneys.
Previously, the cortices of both kidneys were uniformly
hyperdense.
Residual oral contrast is seen in nondistended loops of large
bowel.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There are no concerning lytic or
sclerotic lesions.
Bilateral lower old rib fractures. There is diffuse soft tissue
edema.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large mid esophageal soft tissue mass with now complete
opacification of
the left main bronchus either by invasion, hemorrhage, and/or
secretions.
Persistent post-obstructive left lower lobe consolidation and
bronchial
secretions.
2. Improving small-to-moderate left pleural effusion. No large
collection at
the site of two pigtail catheters.
3. Increasing moderate right effusion.
4. Stable right atrial enlargement.
Final Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Query pneumothorax, 86-year-old woman with large
esophageal
neoplasm extending into the left mainstem.
TECHNIQUE: Portable upright chest view was read in comparison
with multiple
prior radiographs with the most recent from [**2162-4-13**].
FINDINGS:
Lower lung opacity due to a combination of effusion and
atelectasis now
involves the entire left hemithorax suggestive of an increased
large left
pleural effusion. Two pleural pigtail catheters in the left
lower hemithorax
are unchanged in position. Increase in the left pleural
effusion. There has
not been much change in the position of the mediastinum probably
due to
associated left lung volume loss. Moderate right pleural
effusion and right
basilar atelectasis is similar. Upper lung is clear.
IMPRESSION: Left pleural effusion has progressed over last two
days. Two
left pleural pigtail catheters are in unchanged position and
moderate right
pleural effusion and bibasilar atelectasis is unchanged.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.

Brief Hospital Course:
86 yo F with no known medical problems admitted shortness and
breath cough. Hospital course was notable for admission to the
ICU where she was found to have lung and renal abscesses, septic
shock requiring vasopressor support, DVT and PE, and difficult
to control atrial fibrillation. She was also noted to have a
large esophageal mass suggestive of esophageal cancer with
compression of the left main stem bronchus causing intermittent
lung collapse and esophageal compression with
dysphagia/aspiration. Patient had a long ICU course and
transferred from the floor to the ICU multiple times.
Ultimately, given the patient's multiple significant and severe
medical problems, age, and progressively declining course
despite maximal medical care, a discussion was held with the
family and the decision was to transition the patient's care to
comfort centered care and the patient passed away [**2162-4-19**] at
2:10AM.
#Septic shock/Lung and renal abscesses:
Patient presented in septic shock from pneumonia with empyema
and was found to have lung and renal abscesses. She required
multiple pressors and intubation. Her lactate peaked at 10. CT
demonstrated multiple fluid collections as well as an esophageal
mass (see below) that was compressing the L mainstem bronchus
that was believed to be predisposing to her polymicrobial
infection. Interventional pulmonology placed two chest tubes to
drain the fluid collections. Gram stain showed GPCs, GNRs and
gram positive rods. Cultures only grew strep angionosis. She was
initially treated with broad spectrum antibiotics but was weaned
down to vancomycin and flagyl per ID recommendations for a
planned course of four weeks from the date of her last chest
tube placement (day one [**4-5**]). She was weaned off pressors and
succesfully extubated. She was treated with vanc/flagyl until
she was made CMO on [**2162-4-16**].
#DVT/PE: Patient was found to have DVT on lower extremity
ultrasound. CTA showed small subsegmental RLL PE. Patient was
placed on heparin gtt. After her goals of care discussion
anticoagulation was held on [**2162-4-16**].
#Esophageal Mass, likely esophageal cancer, with bronchial and
esophageal obstruction:
CT showed large mid esophageal soft tissue mass with now
complete opacification of the left main bronchus either by
invasion, hemorrhage, and/or secretions.
There was persistent post-obstructive left lower lobe
consolidation and bronchial secretions and patient did suffer
collapse of her left lung. It was believed that this mass was
the etiology of her polymicrobial septic shock, as well as
persistent pleural effusions and left sided atelectatsis.
Secondary to the obstruction of the esophagus and risks for
aspiratoin, the patient was made NPO. She did transiently
receive TPN, but this was discontinued when care was
transitioned to comfort centered care.
#Atrial fibrillation: Unclear if patient has history of afib,
but this was likely exacerbated or caused by infection/sepsis.
There may also have been contribution of irritation by
esophageal mass. After hypotension resolved patient was managed
on the medical floor with IV betablockers but required transfer
back to the ICU for rapid atrial fibrillation and low blood
pressures in the 90s. She was subsequently rate controlled with
IV amiodarone drip in the ICU and transferred back to the
medical floor. After family discussion regarding overall goals
of care amiodarone was eventually discontinued.
# Acute Renal failure: Creatinine 1.8 with unclear baseline. Her
creatinine later increased to a peak of 2.8 which was believed
to be ATN from septic shock. Her creatinine trended back down to
1.8. On the floor her creatinine remained at baseline.
# Anemia: She required 3 UPRBC in setting of elevated lactate
and septic shock. Hct stabilzed in mid 30s.
#Goals of care discussion:
Throughout hospitalization multiple family meetings/updates were
held with multiple providers/teams. Palliative care was involved
as were the social work and case management teams. With the
patient's age of >80 years and multiple medical problems that
continued to progress despite medical care (including IV
amiodarone drip, TPN, antibiotics, and IV anticoagulation), the
family decided to focus on comfort centered care on [**2162-4-16**]. The
patient passed away on [**2162-4-19**] at 2AM.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 89562**] is an 89 year-old right-handed woman with a history of
hypertension who was initially evaluated at BIDN following a
fall
and was transferred to the [**Hospital1 18**] after she was found to have a
right thalamic hemorrhage with intraventricular extension.
.
The patient is high-functioning at baseline. She lives
independently. According to the patient's daughter, Ms. [**Known lastname 89562**]
was in her usual state of health until at least the day prior to
presentation. This morning, there was no answer at the
patient's
door when the meal service came to deliver food. Emergency
services were contact[**Name (NI) **]. The patient was reportedly found on
the
floor of a bathroom. The patient's daughter shares that prior
to
transfer to the BIDN, the patient was "groggy" but could
identify
family members. She was, however, disoriented (eg she thought
she was in the living room when she was actually in the
bathroom)
and was speaking "rag-time."
.
She was transferred to the BIDN for evaluation. There she was
given morphine for head, left shoulder, and left hip pain from
the fall. Imaging of the left hip, shoulder, c-spine, facial
bones and head was performed. She was transferred to the [**Hospital1 18**]
when the non-contrast CT of the head was discovered to show
right
thalamic hemorrhage.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Known lastname 89562**] was admitted after being found down with AMS. Initial
evaluation at [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] revealed a right thalamic bleed so
transfer to [**Hospital1 18**] ICU was done. Here she was reevaluated
clnically and with CT scan of the head and neck. The bleed was
stable and her examination was stable so she was transferred to
the floor for further care. On the wards she was stable with
occasional events of A-fib with RVR to the 140's responsive to

IMAGING:
[**12-7**] CT C/A/P: TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were obtained from
the chest, abdomen and pelvis with the administration of IV
contrast. Multiplanar reformats were generated and reviewed.
CT OF THE CHEST: Right pleural effusion with adjacent
compressive
atelectasis. Left base opacification likely represents collapsed
left lower lobe which appears airless and filled with higher
density material, possibly blood. The patient has a nasogastric
tube which passes into the stomach. ETT tube appears
approximately 4.7cm above the carina.
The visualized heart and pericardium are unremarkable.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN AND PELVIS: The intra-[**Month/Day (4) 1676**] vasculature
and
intra-[**Month/Day (4) 1676**] solid organs are incompletely evaluated in the
absence of IV contrast. Within this limitation, the liver,
pancreas, and bilateral adrenal glands appear unremarkable. Note
is made of splenomegaly. Both kidneys show no evidence of large
masses. A non-obstructive 9-mm stone is noted within the lower
pole of the left kidney (601B, 32). Small stones are noted
within the right kidney. The patient is status post
cholecystectomy.
Surgical sutures are noted in the RLQ, otherwise,
intra-[**Month/Day (4) 1676**] loops of
large and small bowel appear unremarkable. There is no free air
or free fluid within the abdomen. Retroperitoneal and mesenteric
lymph nodes do not meet size criteria for pathologic
enlargement.
The structures within the pelvis are incompletely evaluated due
to the
presence of streak artifact due to bilateral total hip
replacements. Within this limitation, the patient is status post
a Foley catheter. A right femoral vein catheter is identified. A
possible rectal catheter is noted. Bilateral hip prosthesis are
noted; the right femoral component appears well seated within
the acetabular component; however, the left femoral component is
not well seated within the left acetabular component.
Decrease in vertebral body height of L1 vertebral body is noted
with possible retropulsion of fragment into the spinal canal and
indentation of the thecal sac. This is of indeterminate
chronicity, but likely represents more chronic process with the
presence of what looks like kyphoplasty material within L1
vertebral body. Intra-[**Month/Day (4) 1676**] vasculature is not well
evaluated in the absence of contrast technique.
IMPRESSION:
1. Right pleural effusion with adjacent compressive atelectasis.
Left base
opacification likely represents collapsed left lower lobe which
appears
airless and filled with higher density material, possibly blood.
2. Left lower pole renal calculus.
3. Incomplete evaluation of the pelvis due to streak artifact.
4. Left total hip arthroplasty prosthesis shows femoral
component is not well seated within the acetabular component.
5. Loss of vertebral body height of L1 vertebral body with
possible
retropulsion of fragments into the spinal canal; this is of
indeterminate
chronicity, however, appears to be chronic due to presence of
what appears to be kyphoplastic material.
.
[**12-7**] CT HEAD:TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained
through the head without the administration of IV contrast.
Multiplanar reformats were generated and reviewed.
There is no evidence of acute fracture or traumatic dislocation.
Bilateral
mastoid air cells are clear. Minimal mucosal thickening is noted
within
bilateral maxillary sinuses.
There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, discrete
masses, mass effect or shift of normally midline structures. The
ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
[**Doctor Last Name **]-white matter differentiation is preserved with no evidence
of large acute major vascular territory infarction.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial pathological process.
ADDENDUM AT ATTENDING REVIEW: There is marked anterior rotation
of the
odontoid process relative to a thickened appearance of the body
of C2. The
finding likely represents a fracture/subluxation deformity.
There is resultant prominent central canal narrowing at this
level. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling at this
locale. It is possible that the finding represents a prior,
healed fracture, but clearly this question must be resolved,
through either obtaining prior records/imaging studies
immediately, and/or subsequent spinal CT imaging. In the
meantime, the patient's neck needs to be stabilized.
.
[**12-8**] CT CSPINE: COMPARISON: CT head from [**2160-12-7**] and
portable C-spine radiograph from [**2160-12-7**].
TECHNIQUE: Helical 2.5-mm axial MDCT sections were obtained from
the skull
base through the level of T2. Sagittal and coronal reformations
were obtained and reviewed.
FINDINGS: There is a large mass of new bone formation causing
fusion of the C1 and C2 vertebral bodies anteriorly, with
anterior subluxation of C1 with respect to C2(400b:27). This
results in severe encroachment on the spinal canal by the
posterior arch of C1. The degree of subluxation is unchanged
from the prior study. There is no fracture identified.
There is extensive fusion of every facet joint from C2 to T3,
comprising all the levels imaged. There is also interbody fusion
involving every cervical level. There has been surgical anterior
fusion at C6-7. There is extensive fusion of the lamina and
interlaminar ligaments throughout the visualized levels. In the
portion of thoracic spine included in the study, there is fusion
of costovertebral and costotransverse articulations. Comparison
with a torso CT of [**2160-12-8**] reveals similar ankylosis in the
lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints. These findings indicate a
spondyloarthropathy with manifestations typical of ankylosing
spondylitis. Correlation with the remainder of her medical
history will be helpful.
IMPRESSION:
1. Anterior subluxation of C1 on C2 without evidence of
fracture. The
anterior arch of C1 is fused to the odontoid process via a thick
layer of bone that contributes to the subluxation. This produces
severe encroachment on the spinal canal by the posterior arch of
C1.
2. There are extensive fusions of multiple spinal joints most
suggestive of ankylosing spondylitis.
3. No evidence of acute fracture.
.
[**12-7**] PELVIS PLAIN FILM: Comparison is made to selected images
from an [**Month/Day (4) 1676**] pelvic CT scan dated [**2160-12-7**].
SINGLE PORTABLE AP PELVIC FILM WAS OBTAINED [**2160-12-7**] AT 0452:
Bilateral total hip replacements are seen. The femoral and
acetabular
components appear to be well approximated on this single AP
view. The distal end of both femoral components is not included
on the image. There is no evidence of loosening of the femoral
components. Hypertrophic bone is seen lateral to the right
femoral component. A right femoral catheter is in place. No
displaced fracture of the pelvis is appreciated. Surgical chain
sutures are seen in the right lower quadrant, suggesting prior
colonic surgery. A Foley catheter is in place. Several
radiopaque densities are seen lateral to the left femoral
component within the soft tissues which may be sutural in
etiology. Clinical correlation is advised.
IMPRESSION:
Bilateral total hip replacements with both appearing to be
normally positioned on this single portable view. No evidence of
displaced fracture of the pelvis.
Left upper extremity ultrasound [**2160-12-11**]:
IMPRESSION: Non-occlusive thrombus within one of two paired
brachial veins, which extends to the axillary vein.
Portable chest x-ray [**2160-12-11**]:
IMPRESSION: Persistent sizable parenchymal infiltrate in left
lower lobe
area. No new abnormalities in this portable chest examination.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 40984**] is a 46 year old female with a history of suicide
attempts and subsequent liver disease, multiple infections
including ESBL Klebsiella and osteomyelitis who takes chronic
steroids for ankylosis spondylitis presented from an outside
hospital intubated and requiring pressors.
.
ACTIVE PROBLEMS BY ISSUE:
# Acute metabolic acidosis without respiratory compensation:
Her pH upon admission to ICU was 7.1 with a bicarb of 14, later
worsened to 7.09 with bicarb of 12. The possible etiologies of
her primary metabolic acidosis include intoxication versus
sepsis. The active [**Doctor Last Name 360**]/s seem to have suppressed her
respiratory drive (additional respiratory acidosis) as well as
causing a primary metabolic acidosis. She was treated with IV
fluids with bicarbonate as well as hyperventilation on
mechanical ventilation in order to improve the acidosis and
elevated pCO2. Also, the toxicology and psychiatry services
were consulted to assist with identifying the cause of her
ingestion. Finally, she was started empirically on
piperacillin/tazobactam with vancomycin to cover for possible
aspiration pneumonia.
.
# Respiratory failure: She was intubated upon arrival but able
to be ventilated well including a recruitment procedure to open
her atelectatic lung seen on CT. She was extubated easily and
did well on room air afterwards. As discussed above, it was
thought that she aspirated while she was impaired from an
unknown ingestion. Her CT chest was consistent with some small
bilateral pneumonia. Following stabilization and extubation,
induced sputum results returned positive for MRSA. She
completed a 7 day course of vancomycin. She remained afebrile
throughout remainder of course on the medical floor. PICC was
discontinued prior to [**Doctor Last Name **].
.
# Hypotension: Pt was hypotensive on admission to ICU. Her
hypotension is of unclear etiology. It seems possible that she
had sepsis--likely from pneumonia. Also, she may have been down
long enough to miss her home florinef dose, resulting in
hypotension. Lastly, the ingestion itself could have caused
hypotension. She was treated with IV fluids, antibiotics as
above, and stress doses of steroids. Blood pressures were
stable during floor course. She was started on captopril when
she became hypertensive with subsequent good control.
.
# Psychologic issues: We suspect that she had a purposeful
ingestion with suicidal attempt. Blood tox was positive for
benzos and tricyclics. Urine tox was positive for benzos,
cocaine, and opiates. However, the patient did not admit
suicide ideation; she intermittently reported that she may have
accidentally ingested more medications than intended. Psychiatry
was consulted and they recommended a 1:1 sitter. She was placed
on section 12. She was followed by psychiatry and often refused
full interviewing. She did not admit to suicide ideation but
given her prior suicide attempts and depression with inability
to care for herself, she was transferred to psych facility for
further care. All of her psychiatric medications were held
during hospital stay. She was started on low dose seroquel on
the floor prior to transfer to help with sleep.
.
# Rhabdomyolysis: Her admission Creatinine was 2.2 (baseline is
< 1.0) with phosphate >7 and CK of [**Numeric Identifier 24587**]. She was treated with
IV fluids and alkalinization of the urine (with bicarb). Her
creatinine improved to baseline and her CK trended down quickly.
.
# Transaminitis: She has a history of liver disease secondary
to toxic ingestions. Her AST/ALT ratio suggests EtOH damage.
APAP < 2 at OSH. LFTs normalized by time of [**Numeric Identifier **].
.
# Odontoid fracture and Hip dislocation: Patient originally
arrived in the ED with dislocated hip which was reduced.
However, while intubated she awoke and again dislocated her hip
while agitated. It has been put in a brace after a second
reduction. Her CT head showed an old odontoid fracture,
confirmed with CT neck. She was kept immobilized until cleared
by ortho spine team. For her hip, ortho recommended that she
continue with posterior hip precautions. She is weight bearing
as tolerated.
.
# Left upper extremity DVT: Patient failed bilateral internal
jugular central lines in the outside hospital and then failed a
left subclavian and left IR-guided PICC here. Imaging looks
like there is some type of central obstruction, L
brachiocephalic vein no flow past it on venogram. She was
eventually able to get a midline at level of axillary.
Ultrasound showed left upper extremity DVT. She was initially
started on heparin gtt with coumadin. She was then transitioned
to lovenox with coumadin. INR was therapeutic for several days
between 2 and 3 by time of [**Numeric Identifier **] on 3mg of warfarin daily.
Pt currently is at risk of falling (due to her ankylosing
spondylitis and hip dislocations) and syncope from substance
abuse. However, given that she will be transferred to an
extended care facility, it was felt that benefits of
anticoagulation would outweigh the risks at this time. When
ready for [**Numeric Identifier **], there should be another discussion of
anticoagulation. After rehabilitation from both physical and
mental viewpoint, risks/benefits of anticoagulation should be
re-assessed. In the meantime, fall precautions should be
continued at psych facility
.
# Diarrhea: Pt had several loose BMs daily. C.diff was negative
x 2. Given amount of diarrhea, she was empirically started on
oral flagyl 500mg TID. C.diff PCR was sent in the meantime.
PCR returned negative and flagyl was discontinued. She was
started on immodium with symptomatic relief
.
# Tinea corporis: Pt had several macular patches on lower back
and right leg with central clearing. This was consistent with
tinea corporis. She was treated with clotrimazole cream [**Hospital1 **].
.
# Pain control: Pt with longstanding history of narcotic use.
She frequently demanded IV dilaudid for nonspecific complaints,
including [**Hospital1 1676**] pain. Also has ankylosing spondylitis, left
hip dislocation, and left hand IV infiltration of levophed from
OSH that can contribute to pain. Pain consult obtained who
recommended maintaining current narcotic regimen of oral

[**Hospital1 **] Instructions:
It was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital. You were
admitted after being found in your home unconscious. You were
intubated and in the ICU. You likely had an ingestion that
caused you to lose consciousness. You will be transferred to a
psychiatric facility where you will continue to receive mental
health care.
During your hospital stay, you were treated for pneumonia with
an IV antibiotic; you finished this course.
You were also started on a blood thinner called coumadin for a
blood clot found in your left arm. You will need to have levels
of this medication in your blood monitored 2-3 times weekly.
After psychiatric and physical rehabilitation, the risks and
benefits of blood thinners should be revisited so that we can
determine how long you should stay on this medication.
Please see attached sheet for your new medications.
Followup Instructions:
You will be seen by psychiatrists and physicians at your
facility.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 943**]
Chief Complaint:
Hypotension with elevated lactate, code sepsis.
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Right internal jugular venous catheter placement.
History of Present Illness:
44 yoM PMH ESRD secondary to Brights disease on HD s/p two
failed renal transplants, HCV, CHF with EF 20%, AF on coumadin
who presented to the ED with a two week history of diffuse
abdominal pain with one day of nausea and vomiting [**2114-12-24**]. Two
weeks prior to admission the patient began to experience diffuse
dull abdominal pain without nausea or vomiting and loose stools
2-3 times per day. The patient believed this was secondary to
fluid overload. One week prior to presentation the patient
complained of subjective fevers, cough productive of yellow
sputum. His nephrologist gave him a five-day course of
azithromycin. The patient had persistent symptoms and was
started on levofloxacin by his PCP two days prior to admission.
The patient had a history of tylenol use 3g/day for 5 days prior
to admission for fever, body aches. The day prior to admission
the patient began to experience worsened abdominal pain
associated with nausea, a few episodes of vomiting,
nonbilious/nonbloody, and diarrhea 4-5 times per day, watery,
nonbloody.
.
In the ED the patient was found to be hypotensive with lactate
of 5.6 and a code sepsis was called. He was given Vanco, Flagyl
and Zosyn for presumed infection. He was given Decadron for
presumed adrenal insufficiency. He was also given Calcium
gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, Insulin and D50 for hyperkalemia.
A CVL was placed and he received 3L of NS with normalization of
pressures. He was transferred to the MICU.
.
In the MICU the patient's LFTs were significantly elevated and
peaked at ALT 3016, AST 2956, LDH [**2064**], INR 4.3 on [**12-25**]. This
was thought to be secondary to shock liver in the setting of
hypotension/sepsis versus tylenol toxicity despite negative
serum tylenol. LFTs subsequently trending down.
.
Upon transfer to the floor, the patient continues to complain of
cough productive of yellow sputum. Denies chest pain, shortness
of breath. The patient denied any fevers/chills, abdominal pain,
nausea, vomiting. Diarrhea improving. Denies dysuria/hematuria;
minimal urine output while on HD. Denies lightheadedness. Denies
myalgias/arthralgias. Review of systems otherwise negative in
detail.

CHEST (PA & LAT) [**2114-12-24**]
IMPRESSION:
Clear lungs, mild pulmonary congestion and cardiomegaly,
unchanged.
.
CT ABD W&W/O C [**2114-12-25**]
IMPRESSION:
1) Cardiomegaly and hepatomegaly with abnormal liver perfusion
likely secondary to passive congestion (nutmeg liver). No focal
hepatic abscess or adjacent hematoma.
2) Cholelithiasis and sludge/vicarious excretion of IV contrast.
Small amount of pericholecystic fluid is present. The fluid
could be due to patient's liver dysfunction/third spacing from
CHF. If cholecystitis is of clinical concern, HIDA scan can be
performed provided the total bilirubin is not elevated.
3) Hyperdense renal cortex in left lower quadrant transplanted
kidney. Findings are most likely due to chronic rejection or
prior ATN. There is apparent thickening of the arterial wall
supplying the transplant. No hydronephrosis or perinephric
collection.
4) Minor anatomic variant involving liver vasculature as
described above. Hepatic veins and portal venous system appear
widely patent.
5) 6 mm lesion in head of pancreas. Continued follow up of this
area is recommended on future studies.
6) Areas of ground glass opacity and intralobular septal
thickening in the lung bases, most likely due to fluid
overload/CHF. Nodular areas of opacity are also present which
could be due to infection. Continued followup is reccomended.
7) Small lymph nodes and vague retroperitoneal stranding.
Findings could be due to CHF.

Brief Hospital Course:
44 year-old male with past medical history of ESRD on HD, HCV,
presenting with hypotension and elevated lactate, presumed
sepsis without source found. The patient was noted to have
elevated LFTs on admission. The patient was found to be HIT Ab
positive.
.
1. Sepsis: There was no source found, but patient had received
antibiotics prior to admission. The patient remained afebrile
and hemodynamically stable throughout transfer to the floor. The
patient had leukocytosis on admission but this resolved prior to
transfer. The patient completed an empiric seven-day course of
vancomycin/zosyn and ten-day course of flagyl. The patient's
immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine for history of renal
transplant was discontinued; prednisone 10 mg QOD was continued.
CXR x 2 without evidence of pneumonia. The patient's blood,
urine, stools, and sputum cultures were negative at the time of
discharge. C. difficile toxin B was negative. The patient
complained of continued cough and loose stools which were
improving prior to discharge.
.
2. Hypotension: Resolved prior to transfer to the floor. Likely
sepsis given elevated lactate. Hypovolemia possible in setting
of poor po prior to admission. Cardiac etiology unlikely; no
significant change in cardiac function and cardiac enzymes
unrevealing. Adrenal insufficiency was unlikely with random
cortisol of 36, however, the patient on chronic steroids; the
patient was continued on prednisone 10 mg every other day for
history of renal transplant. The patient received treatment for
sepsis as above.
.
3. Elevated LFTs/coagulopathy: Secondary to shock liver versus
tylenol toxicity. The patient was initially maintained on
mucomyst gtt but this was discontinued when the patient's liver
function tests improved. There was likely a component of
congestion secondary to CHF. This was unlikely secondary to HCV
as there was no change in immunosuppression and only mild active
inflammation on very recent biopsy. Unlikely to be due to recent
liver biopsy. The patient's liver function tests continued to
trend down prior to discharge.
.
4. Atrial fibrillation: The patient's coumadin was initially
held in the setting of liver failure and elevated INR. The
patient's digoxin and amiodarone were initially held in the
setting of renal and liver failure and the patient's rate was
subsequently poorly-controlled to heart rate 130-140s. The
patient was followed by his primary cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 911**],
during admission. The patient's amiodarone was restarted and
increased from previous per his recommendations. Digoxin was not
restarted. The patient's elanopril was discontinued on admission
and the patient was started on captopril; there was an attempt
to up-titrate the dose but the patient's blood pressure did not
tolerate the increase. The patient was discharged on captopril
6.25 twice daily. The patient's blood pressure does not tolerate
beta-blocker therapy. The patient was restarted on coumadin
prior to discharge. The patient's rapid ventricular rate is most
likely compensatory for low ejection fraction; rate control to
110-120s is acceptable. The patient's rate was at goal 110s-120s
on discharge. The patient will follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 911**] as an
outpatient.
.
5. Acute on chronic renal failure: Baseline creatinine [**5-2**]. The
patient is on HD status post two failed renal transplants. The
differential for the patient's acute renal failure included
acute tubular necrosis and cyclotoxicity (recently on
azithromycin). The patient's ACE inhibitor was initially held.
The patient's creatinine did not improve to baseline and was 7.5
prior to discharge. The patient was followed by the renal
service throughout hospitalization. The patient continued to
receive hemodialysis per his MWF schedule. The patient was
started on sensipar for elevated PTH. The patient was continued
on prednisone 10 mg QOD for history of renal transplant. The
patient's cyclosporine was discontinued. Amphogel was
discontinued and cinecalcet was added to the patient's regimen.
.
6. Thrombocytopenia/HIT Ab positive: HIT antibodies were sent
because of the patient's thrombocytopenia. The patient's HIT
antibodies were positive. The patient had been on heparin SC and
heparin flushes in the MICU but these were discontinued prior to
transfer to the floor. The patient was followed by hematology
during admission. The patient had a right basilic vein
thrombosis visualized but no other signs or symptoms of
thrombosis. After discussion with hematology and pharmacy, the
patient was started on argatroban and bridged to coumadin. The
patient's INR goal was 2.5-3.5 given his history of liver
disease.
.
7. Congestive heart failure. EF of 10% per echo [**12-28**] with 3+ MR,
2+ TR. Mixed ischemic/nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Patient has a fixed LAD/anterior defect on MIBI on 2/[**2114**]. The
patient is status post ICD placement [**1-1**]. The patient was
started on captopril as above. The patient's blood pressure does
not tolerate beta-blocker therapy. The patient's volume status
was addressed at hemodialysis. The patient was assessed for
biventricular ICD by EP; the decision was made not to place at
this time given the patient's narrow QRS duration and especially
in the setting of recent sepsis. The patient will follow-up with
Drs. [**Last Name (STitle) 911**] and [**Name5 (PTitle) 437**] in [**5-3**] weeks. The patient will receive
outpatient cardiopulmonary assessment for possible cardiac
transplant.
.
8. Coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction and
stent [**2105**]. The patient was without complaints of chest pain
throughout admission. The patient was continued on aspirin. The
patient's elanopril was discontinued and the patient was started
on captopril as above. The patient's blood pressure does not
tolerate beta-blocker therapy.
.
9. Nucleated red blood cells. There were 20 NRBC/100 white blood
cells on the patient's blood smear on transfer to the floor,
with low grade hemolysis and high reticulocyte count. Hematology
was consulted and believed this was likely secondary to
hyperactive marrow stimulated in the setting of recent sepsis.
This resolved prior to discharge.

Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 443**]
Chief Complaint:
Shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Placement of single chamber pacemaker (ventricular)
History of Present Illness:
88 yo M with a history of paroxysmal a fib, CHF, ASD, goiter,
PVD, polycythemia [**Doctor First Name **], chronic GIB on warfarin and recently
started on atenolol, admitted with complaints of shortness of
breath found to have profound bradycardia with high degree heart
block.
.
The patient is a poor historian. A recent discharge summary from
an admission starting on [**2148-3-12**] at [**Hospital3 **]
describes symptomatic shortness of breath noted by [**Name Initial (MD) **] home NP.
The patient was treated for worsening anemia (Hct 23 on
admission down from previous baseline of 35 in [**2147-11-13**]) in
the setting of supratherapeutic INR. The patient's hematocrit
improved to 27 and INR to 2.4 after 4 U PRBCs and 2U FFP. EGD
during this hospitalization revealed non-bleeding ulcers in the
stomach and Barrett's esophagus. Colonoscopy was negative. The
patient was also diuresed at that time for likely acute on
chronic CHF exacerbation. His dry weight at discharge was 83kg.
Echo revealed EF>60%. The patient was newly started on atenolol
25mg daily at the time of discharge. ACEi was not started
because of acute on chronic renal failure (Cr of 1.9 up from
previous 1.5 many months prior). Heart rate was 60-80 prior to
discharge. The patient was discharged to rehab.
.
The patient was at rehab for approximately 1 week. At rehab on
the day of admission, the patient was noted to have oxygen
saturations down to 80% on RA with subjective SOB. 4L nc was
applied w/ improvement in sats to 88%. HR was found to be 35-42.
.
The patient initially presented to [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] prior to transfer
to [**Location (un) 86**]. In the ED, the patient was persistently bradycardic
to 30-40 with complete heart block vs. high degree AV block on
EKG. The patient was evaluated by electrophysiology consult team
and started on isoproterenol with improvement in HR to 50-60
range. The patient was hemodynamically stable throughout with
sbp 100-130 and asymptomatic.
.
On review of symptoms, he 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. He 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 absence of chest pain,
dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea,
ankle edema, palpitations, syncope or presyncope.

[**2148-3-18**] EKG: Sinus bradycardia at a rate of 34 with likely atrial
tachycardia with high grade AV block vs. CHB. Also right bundle
branch block. Downgoing T's in V4-V6. No prior for comparison.
[**2148-3-18**] CXR:
Pulmonary edema; the markedly abnormal cardiac silhouette
suggests either underlying cardiomyopathy or pericardial
effusion (or both).
2D-ECHOCARDIOGRAM ([**2147-3-20**]): The left atrium is markedly
dilated. The right atrium is markedly dilated. A secundum type
atrial septal defect is present with right to left shunting.
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). The
estimated cardiac index is depressed (<2.0L/min/m2). The right
ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with depressed free wall
contractility. [Intrinsic right ventricular systolic function is
likely more depressed given the severity of tricuspid
regurgitation.] There is abnormal septal motion/position
consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. There is no
aortic valve stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Severe [4+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is
severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. The pulmonic
valve leaflets are thickened. The main pulmonary artery is
dilated. There is a small pericardial effusion. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade. Echocardiographic signs of
tamponade may be absent in the presence of elevated right sided
pressures.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted with bradycardia with high degree heart
block. Atenolol use in the setting of acute renal failure
likely worsened his bradycardia, but it was felt that his
underlying conduction disorder had worsened and that he would
benefit from placement of a pacemaker. He was on a dopamine
drip prior to placement of the pacemaker but was weaned off
after the procedure. A single chamber ventricular pacemaker was
placed on [**2148-3-22**]. He had significant blood losses during the
procedure, requiring transfusion of one unit of PRBC's. His Hct
remained stable after the transfusion. Heparin for his AFib was
restarted the morning after the procedure, and coumadin was
restarted 48 hours after pacer placement. eh was also started
on aspirin 81 mg QD.
On admission, his heart failure had been exacerbated by the
bradycardia, and he had evidence of volume overload with
crackles on lung exam. He was aggressively diuresed and had
improvement in his volume status. he was discharged on lasix 40
mg QD, to be further adjusted as an out-patient.
He was admitted with acute on chronic renal failure likely
secondary to hypoperfusion with his bradycardia (Cr 2.0 on
admission; baseline uncertain but pt has history of DM and
vascular disease). Creatinine improved somewhat with control of
his CHF exacerbation and placement of the pacemaker. He was
discharged with Cr 1.3.
ISSUES FOR FOLLOW-UP:
(1) Please measure daily weights. Mr. [**Known lastname 97347**] cardiologist
will make adjustments to his lasix medication according to his
weights.
(2) Please check INR, CBC, and chem-10 on [**2148-3-28**] at the rehab

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted for a slow heart rate and received a
pacemaker. Because your heart rate was low, you had an
exacerbation of your heart failure, requiring removal of fluid
from your body with medications.
Several changes were made to your medications while you were in
the hospital:
(1) You should no longer take atenolol.
(2) You were started on two new medicines (amlodipine and
metoprolol) to control your blood pressure.
(3) Your Coumadin (also called warfarin) was increased to 5 mg
each night. This will need to be adjusted to your blood levels,
which should be followed closely.
(4) You were put on three days of cephalexin (an antibitoic)
after your procedure. You only need to take this through
[**2148-3-26**].
(5) Your lasix dose is now 40 mg daily. You shoud follow-up
with yoru cardiologist to see how this medicine should eb
adjusted accoridng to how much fluid you are retaining.

History of Present Illness:
On admission to medical floor:
This is a 83 yo M with HTN, HLD, AAA 5.7cm and recent
hospitalization for diverticulosis initially presenting with
cough and SOB. On [**10-21**], patient experienced significant DOE,
even when walking across the room. He went to [**Hospital **] Hospital
on [**10-23**] for evaluation where a V/Q scan showed poor perfusion
in the RLL and CXR suggested RLL PNA. He received azithro, CTX,
and some lasix and was sent to [**Hospital1 18**]. Upon presentation, he had
no focal lung sounds, was talking in full sentences, but was
tired out by moving. Bedside echo showed no effusion or
ventricular collapse. An EKG showed TWI V1, V3, unchanged from
previous. A repeat CXR was unimpressive and not suggestive of
PNA. Trop was elevated to 0.16, creatinine was 3.6 (unknown
baseline). He was started on a heparin drip and received vanco
1g to supplement OSH Abx. CT w/o contrast was performed showing
hyperdense material in the right main pulmonary artery extending
in the segmental branches, concerning for large pulmonary
embolus with mild enlargement of right cardiac [**Doctor Last Name 1754**] raising
concern for possible right heart strain. No TPA was
administered. LENIs showed extensive RLE DVT and thrombus in
the posterior tibial vein in the LLE. Echo showed moderately
dilated RV with free wall hypokinesis. Retrievable IVC filter
was placed on [**10-24**]. Patient's creatinine rose on [**10-25**] with
concern for low UOP and patient was bolused.
.
Patient reports no recent immobilization or travel, no
malignancy, and no history of clots in his family. He has had
no previous clots that he knows of.
.
Currently, patient reports improved dyspnea, no chest pain, no
current cough, no fever or chills. He successfully got up to
the chair to eat lunch today. He reports no leg pain and has
noted no swelling.

Labs on discharge:
Micro studies:
Blood cultures [**2118-10-23**]: negative x 2
MRSA screen [**10-23**]: negative
Ancillary tests:
CXR on admission [**10-23**]:
Mild bibasilar atelectasis. Cardiomegaly. Otherwise,
unremarkable study.
.
CT chest w/o contrast [**10-23**]:
1. Hyperdense material in the right main pulmonary artery
extending in the
segmental branches, concerning for large pulmonary embolus with
mild
enlargement of right cardiac [**Doctor Last Name 1754**] raising concern for
possible right heart strain. Findings were urgently discussed
with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 5279**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] 10 p.m. on [**2118-10-23**], by Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 10304**].
2. Emphysema.
3. Bilateral lower lobe bronchiectasis, with subtle ground-glass
opacities at the lower lobes and area of ground glass opacity in
lingula, could suggest incipient atelectasis; however, cannot
exclude infectious disease involving lower airways.
4. Several subcentimeter pulmonary nodules. Followup CT chest in
6 to 12
months is recommended to document stability, if clinically
warranted.
5. Atherosclerotic changes at the SMA, with proximal dilatation
of SMA which indirectly could suggest stenosis at the origin of
SMA although suboptimal evaluation due to lack of IV contrast.
.
TTE [**2118-10-24**]:
Moderately dilated right ventricle with free wall hypokinesis.
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy with normal regional and
global systolic function (LVEF 55-60%). Dilated ascending aorta.
.
Bilateral lower extremity U/S [**2118-10-24**]:
Extensive right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis as above
and thrombus also seen in the posterior tibial vein on the left.
.
CXR [**2118-10-26**]:
In comparison with the study of [**10-23**], there is probably little
overall change. Again there is enlargement of the cardiac
silhouette with
opacification at the left base consistent with atelectasis and
effusion. The overall appearance is somewhat worsened due to the
low lung volumes. No
evidence of vascular congestion or pleural effusion. Blunting of
the right
costophrenic angle persists.
CXR postintubation [**11-4**]
there has been interval placement of an endotracheal tube ending
4.5 cm above the carina. A nasogastric tube is new with the tip
in the
stomach. A right internal jugular catheter projects over the mid
SVC. Right
pleural effusion is stable. Increased opacification at the left
lung base
represents worsening atelectasis and effusion. There is no
pneumothorax. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouette and hilar
contours are stable.
TTE [**11-4**]
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. Due to suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF 70%). The right ventricular cavity is dilated with
borderline normal free wall function. The ascending aorta is
mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
There is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed)
of [**2118-10-24**], the right ventriclre is less dilated and
less hypocontractile.
Pan CT [**2118-11-5**]
1. Diffuse panproctocolonic wall thickening with pericolonic
edema concerning for a pancolitis. Differential includes
infectious, inflammatory, or ischemic etiologies. Per discussion
with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 714**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1833**], the patient currently has a
Clostridium difficile infection and these findings are in
keeping withthis diagnosis.
2. Increased left basilar consolidation, concerning for interval
development of pneumonia.
3. Abdominal ascites particularly adjacent to the spleen, liver
and paracolic gutters.
4. Large infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 87816**] was an 83 year old man with hypertension,
dyslipidemia and a 5.7cm AAA who, in the week prior to his
planned AAA repair had a diverticular bleed and shortly
thereafter developed a large PE in his right PA that caused
hypoxia and right heart strain. He was diagnosed and monitored
in the MICU on heparin, slowly transitioning from NRB to nasal
canula for oxygen. He did well and while his right heart strain
improved, he developed severe, complicated c.difficile colitis
with recalcitrant shock and ventillatory needs that required
intubation. He ultimately passed on [**11-4**].
.
#. Acute pulmonary embolus/bilateral deep venous thromboses -
patient was admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] after transfer from an outside
hospital for hypoxia and a V/Q scan that illustrated a right
lung filling defect. After admission, noncontrast CT was
obtained and showed a large pulmonary embolus in the right lung
vasculature. Patient was started on a heparin drip, with
warfarin shortly afterwards. IV heparin was stopped 24 hours
after therapeutic INR was achieved. Bilateral ultrasounds of
the lower extremities were performed and showed. Upon reaching
the medicine floor, the patient remained on 6 liters of O2 by
nasal cannula, on one occasion requiring a face mask for
desaturation below 90%, from which he quickly recovered.
.
# Hypoxia: patient was consistently hypoxic during his time on
the medical floor, with likely contributing factors being his
clot burden and underlying emphysema. Before being transferred
to the medical floor from the ICU, the patient was taken off a
non-rebreather mask and placed on nasal cannula. Patient was
provided albuterol inhalers and nebulizer treatments, as well as
ipratropium inhalers around the clock to optimize respiratory
status. Albuterol treatments were discontinued after the
patient developed an episode of atrial fibrillation. He worked
with physical therapy and slowly improved for a period of time
from an oxygenation standpoint. On [**2118-11-3**], patient was noted
to be tachypneic to the 30s-low 40s, with oxygen saturations
dropping from low 90s to 87-89% on 6 liter of O2. A trigger was
called. Physical exam showed rales present, mostly in the left
lung. A dose of Lasix was administered due to concern for fluid
overload after continuous IV fluid administration due to the
patient's elevated creatinine at the time. A non-rebreather was
placed with improvement in oxygen saturations to the mid-90s and
improvement in respiratory rate. Patient was given nebulizer
treatment and 20 mg IV Lasix. ABG was performed with pH 7.45,
pCO2 30, pO2 61 on 6 liters of oxygen. Chest X-ray was ordered
and showed no evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion or
pneumonia, but had signs of worsened atelectasis and pleural
effusion as compared to a previous X-ray on [**11-2**], when the
patient first developed a leukocytosis. Urine and blood
cultures were ordered after the patient spiked a fever to 101 F,
and the patient was started on IV cefepime and vancomycin
empirically. He was transferred to the MICU.
.
#. Clostridium difficile colitis: on [**2118-11-2**], patient began
developing numerous episodes of diarrhea along with
leukocytosis, and testing for Clostridium difficile was ordered.
A positive result returned on [**2118-11-3**] and the patient was begun
on PO flagyl for treatment. Later on that day, it was decided to
switch the patient's treatment to IV flagyl as well as PO
vancomycin for likely severe C. difficile infection. Despite
antibiotic therapy, the patient continued to fare poorly with
this infection. He went into septic shock. On [**11-5**] a
central line and arterial line were placed for rescusitation.
Vasopressors were begun. Unable to keep up with the work of
breathing, Mr. [**Known lastname 87816**] was intubated on the AM of [**11-4**]. He was
transfused one unit of pRBCs to preserve oxygenation but
remained on large doses of vasopressors. In the early AM of
[**11-5**], his blood pressure became untenable on neosynephrine and
he became increasingly dependent on 3 pressors. A CT torso was
obtained that showed severe colitis with few other positive
findings. His family was called to the bedside and he passed at
6am on [**11-5**].
.
#. Acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease: given an
equivocal results of FEUrea, likely etiology was prerenal
failure with progression to acute tubular necrosis. Urinalysis
was performed and was non-revealing. The patient's baseline
creatinine was 3. Nephrotoxins were avoided and patient's
medications were renally dosed. Patient was kept at even fluid
balance. On [**2118-11-3**], his creatinine began to rise in
conjunction with the numerous episodes of diarrhea that the
patient began to experience found to be due to Clostridium
difficile infection. IV fluids were administered until the time
of hypoxia leading to his MICU transfer.
.
#. Urinary retention: the patient developed urinary retention
during his hospitalization which was thought to possibly be due
to the addition of trazodone to help with sleep, or from some
constipation that the patient developed during his hospital
course. There was no known history of prostate disease, and
rectal exam performed on the medical floor revealed no
nodularity or enlargement of the prostate, and patient was
guaiac negative. A Foley catheter had to be placed due to
urinary retention and trazodone was discontinued, but urine
retention did not resolve at the time of transfer to the MICU.
.
# Atrial fibrillation: patient was noted to be in atrial
fibrillation on [**2118-10-29**], with possible precipitants being his
pulmonary process, perhaps mild dehydration and the result of
his beta-blocker being held. Patient was started on metoprolol
for rate control which was uptitrated until regular rate was
achieved. He was already on anticoagulation for his pulmonary
embolism and deep venous thromboses. The patient was monitored
on telemetry throughout the rest of his time on the hospital
floor, and was maintained in sinus rhythm.
.
#. Anemia: Patient was anemic upon presentation with guaiac
negative stools. Active type and screen with crossmatched units
of blood were maintained. Vitamin B12 and folate were checked,
with a noted low vitamin B12 level. The patient was started on
intramuscular cyanocobalamin. Hematocrit was trended throughout
hospitalization.
.
#. Hypertension: patient's blood pressure was controlled while
off medication during admission. His enalapril was held given
acute kidney injury, and his HCTZ, nadolol and amlodipine was
held due the patient's normotensive status. Metoprolol was
started when the patient developed an episode of atrial
fibrillation while on the medical floor.
.
#. Abdominal aortic aneurysm: the patient was scheduled to
undergo elective repair of AAA at an outside hospital while he
was admitted to [**Hospital1 18**]. Blood pressures were checked often, with
a plan to obtain a stat echocardiogram if he became hypotensive.
.
#. Dyslipidemia: the patient was continued on his home statin
medication while he was admitted.
.
#. Glaucoma: the patient was continued on his glaucoma
medications during admission.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2161-8-30**] for further
work-up of his fever. Blood cultures revealed MSSA bacteremia
and an infectious disease consult was obatined. Vancomycin and
gentamicin were started and an echo was performed. This revealed
acute endocarditis with new aortic regurgitation and a
paravalvular abscess. The cardiac surgery service was consulted
for surgical evaluation and Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] was worked-up in the
usual preoperative manner. It was preferred to wait 4-6 weeks
prior to surgery given his active endocarditis. Given the length
of stay and his multiple medical issues, the remainder of the
discharge summary will be broken down into systems.
Renal:
The renal service continued to follow Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] and manage his
hemodialysis. His electrolytes were repleted as needed.
Transplant:
Given his positive blood cultures and his history of multiple
line infections, the transplant service was consulted. His old
tunneled catheter was removed and a temporary internal jugular
line was placed. The transplant service decided that he would
be best served with a more permenant catheter for upcoming
dialysis. On [**2161-9-9**], Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] [**Last Name (Titles) 1834**] removal of his right
internal jugular line and placement of a left internal jugular
PermaCath. He remained on the transplant surgery list. [**2161-9-30**]
an ultrasound was obtained as his lines were not flushing
easily. This revealed extensive thrombus in the right subclavian
vein with thrombus in the left subclavian vein at its junction
with the internal jugular. His lines were left in place with as
access was needed and some of the clot was extracted.
Dental:
A dental consult was obtained who recommended he have his wisdom
teeth removed prior to his valve surgery based on a physical
exam and x-rays. Clindamycin was prophylactically dosed for his
extraction. On [**2161-9-14**], Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] [**Last Name (Titles) 1834**] extraction of
three impacted third molar teeth and 3 impacted supernumerary
teeth without complication. He tolerated the procedure well
without complications. He had a slight fever two days following
his teeth extraction which delayed his surgery however his
fevers were not related to his extractions.
Infectious Disease:
Given his admission for endocarditis, the infectious disease
service was consulted for assistance in Mr. [**Known lastname 48504**]
management. Based on cultures and the patients allergy to
penicillin, vancomycin was used. As beta lactam therapy was the
choice therapy, the allergy service was asked to comment on his
penicillin allergy. Penicillin desensitization was recommended
which was commenced without complication. Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] was then
transitioned to nafcillin. Surveillance cultures remained
negative. It was recommended to continue nafcillin until
[**2161-10-28**]. Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] continued to have periodic fever spikes in
the presence of a normal white cell count and normal healing
wounds. Pan-cultures continued to remain negative.
Cardiac:
The cardiac surgical service and cardiology service followed Mr.
[**Known lastname 11041**] closely. It was planned that his surgery may be
performed when surveillance blood cultures were negative. His
volume status and hemodynamics were optimized. A nicotine patch
was used to help with smoking cessation.
He was taken to the OR on [**9-18**], [**Month/Day (4) 1834**] tissue AVR (please see
operative note for details of surgical procedure). He was weaned
off pressors, continued on hemodialysis treatments, and was
extubated over the next 48 hours, and transfeerred to the
telemetry floor on POD # 2. He was followed closely by the ID
service. OR cultures revealed MSSA, and penicilln was felt to
be the best treatment. As the patient had an allergy to
penicillin, he was brought back to the ICU for desensitization
which he tolerated well.
On [**9-24**], he had an echocardiogram which revealed dehiscence of
his prosthetic aortic valve with abscess. On [**2161-9-29**], he was
taken to the OR for a re-do AVR/homograft. Please see operative
report for details of procedure. On postoperative day one, he
self extubated himself without any complication. An ultrasound
of the upper extremities was obtained due to a question of clot
in the SVC in the OR. This revealed bilateral subclavian vein
thrombus, and anticoagulation was initiated. His drains and
pacing wires were rmeoved per protocol. His volume overload was
removed by hemodialysis. Heparin was continued until his INR
became therapeutic on coumadin. On postoperative day three, he
was transferred back to the step down unit for further recovery.
The physical therapy service worked with him to help increase
his strength and mobility.
Mr. [**Known lastname 11041**] continued to make steady progress and was discharged
home on [**2161-10-7**]. He will resume his regular hemodialysis
schedule. He will follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**], his cardiologist,
the infectious disease service, his primary care physician and
the renal service as an outpatient.

Patient originally presented to [**Hospital3 628**] with lower
abdominal cramping followed by severe low back pain. She ten
was found to have palpable abdominal mass and had later bowel
movements with bright red blood mixed with liquid stool.
Because of the concern for aortic enteric fistula she was
emergently transferred to [**Hospital1 188**] for further evaluation. At [**Hospital1 190**] emergent body CT scan was performed and showed
no fistula. However, it was positive for 4.5 cm abdominal
aneurysm with a large intramural thrombus. Push enteroscopy
was negative. The patient was found to be in DIC and was
given two units of fresh frozen plasma and one unit of blood.
This was followed by sigmoidoscopy which showed changes
consistent with ischemic colitis as well as sigmoid
diverticulosis. The patient was transferred back to the
Surgical Intensive Care Unit and remained stable overnight.
She was then transferred to medical service for further
management of colonic ischemia.

vaginal bleeding
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
ultrasound guided D+C
History of Present Illness:
26 yo G1P1 s/p NSVD 9 weeks ago w/ persistent LBP, low
grade fevers and some vaginal bleeding. She presented to
[**Hospital 1562**] [**Hospital **] clinic on [**2164-9-7**] and had a D&C & hysteroscopy and
was sent home. She developed nausea, vomiting and epigastric
abdominal pain that radiated to her back and presented to
[**Hospital 1562**] Hospital on [**2164-9-8**].
At [**Hospital 1562**] Hospital, she had a chest CT that was
unremarkable. 3 hrs post-IV contrast and 45min post-phenergan
she developed acute respiratory distress and was intubated. She
received solumedrol, sc epinephrine, benadryl. She was
hypertensive to the 150/100's and a subsequent CXR showed
pulmonary edema. She was transferred to the ICU.
CTA on [**9-9**] was neg for PE, pos for b/l pleural effusions
and pulmonary edema. She was diuresed, and her cardiac enzymes
were noted to be elevated. A TTE at that time was notable for
EF 40%, and her enzymes were attributed to demand ischemia and
diastolic dysfunction. CXray w/ pulm edema and pt transfered
[**Hospital1 18**] ICU for further evaluation.

are concerning for retained products of conception.
[**9-11**]: CT Chest w/o contrast:
1) Diffuse bilateral pulmonary consolidative opacities, which
may represent a
multifocal pneumonia or ARDS. Moderate sized bilateral pleural

Brief Hospital Course:
1. Respiratory Distress - the patient arrived to the ICU
intubated. Chest x-ray w/ bilateral interstitial infiltrates.
Etiology likely multifactorial including ARDS secondary to
pancreatitis/retained products of conception and pulmonary edema
given cardiac EF of 35%. Over the course in the ICU, the
patients pulmonary status rapidly improved w/ diuresis. She was
extubated on HD 3. On HD 5, she was transferred to the floor on
6L nasal cannula. She continued to receive gentle diuresis while
on the floor. By HD 6, she only required 3L nasal cannula and by
HD7, she had oxygen saturation of 96-99% on Room Air. She no
longer received diuresis on her last hospital day. On discharge,
her oxygen saturation was 98-99% on Room Air. She will have a
follow up [**Month/Day/Year 113**] in [**12-20**] weeks to evaluate for resolution of her
cardiomyopathy.
2. Fever - the likely source of the patient's fever was
pancreatitis and/or the her retained products of conception. The
patient was initially started on broad spectrum antibiotics
including zosyn, clindamycin, and doxcycline. As culture data
returned her antibiotic regimen was weaned appropriately. On HD
7, she was changed from IV meds to po levo/flagyl for possible
pneumonia vs myometritis. Since she had no
laboratory/radiological evidence of either condition, her
antibiotics were stopped on HD 8. She remained afebrile off of
antibiotics.
3. Pancreatitis - On admission, the patient was kept NPO w/ NG
tube to suction. By hospital day 3 the patient was having bowel
movements and with no abdominal pain. She was started on a
regular diet which she tolearted well. The pt did not have
further nausea/abdominal pain. Although her amylase/lipase
trended up throughout the admission, she was not symptomatic so
it was decided to stop trending her enzymes. She was seen by GI
the day before discharge and it was decided that she should
follow up for an MRCP then with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 3315**] for o/p work up of
the etiology of her pancreatitis.
4. Anemia - The patient was given several units of blood (total
6U) for low blood counts while she was in the ICU. It was
thought that the etiology of her anemia was a combination of low
grade DIC (as her platelets also decreased, her DDimer was
elevated and her fibrinogen nadired at 250) and blood loss
during her U/S guided D+C. She was transferred to the floor on
[**9-14**] (HD 5) and from that point on her hematocrit was stable
between 25-28. She did not require any blood transfusions while
on the floor.
5. Thrombocytopenia- On admission, the patient's platelets were
44. The differential for her low platelets included DIC, HIT (pt
given lovenox) and HELLP. Her PTT/INR was 22.3/1.5,D-dimer 4514,
fibrinogen-258 which was suggestive of low grade DIC (although
if truly DIC picture would expect fibrinogen to be lower). A
HIT antibody was sent which was negative. The timing and
clinical picture (9 wks s/p SVD and no labs suggestive of
hemolysis, no hypertension) was less consistent with HELLP
syndrome. Her platelets trended up throughout the admission. At
discharge, the patient's platelets were 480.
6. ARF - the patient's baseline creatine is 0.5 and at admission
was 1.2. Initial urine lytes before hydration were consistent
w/ a pre-renal picture. Subsequently, however, muddy brown
casts consistent with ATN were noted in the patient's urine.
Over the course of her ICU stay, the patients Cr trended
downward as she autodiuresed well. Her creatinine remained at
her baseline on her last three hospital days.
7. Hyperthyroidism-On admission, the patient was tachycardic
~130s (sinus). It was thought that the tachycardia was secondary
to volume depletion vs infection. Her HR ranged from 100-170s,
but trended in 100-120s with gentle hydration/antibiotics. On
the day of transfer to the floor, the patient remained in the
120s so other sources of sinus tachycardia, including thyroid
function, were evaluated. Her TSH was <0.02 and her free T4 was
elevated. She was started on low dose beta-blocker for control
of her heart rate. It was titrated up over a few days to
maintain a HR 60-80 with hopes that by controlling her HR it
would be less stressful to her heart and her cardiomyopathy
would resolve. Endocrine was consulted for the question of
hyperthyroid therapy and they felt that PTU or methmimazole
would not be necessary during this admission and rate control
would be sufficient. They also wanted to send several tests to
evaluate for thyroiditis, hashimotos, and [**Doctor Last Name 933**] disease (her
mother has had a thyroidectomy for [**Name (NI) 933**]). She will follow up
with Endocrine as an o/p for the results of these labs and
possible further treatment.
8. Elevated Blood Sugars-Throughout the admission, her fasting
fingersticks ranged from 100-170. In the setting of illness,
these numbers were not acted on but she was told to follow up
for a fasting glucose as an outpatient.
9. Retained Products of Conception-THE POC were removed on
[**2164-9-12**]. The patient had minimal vaginal bleeding after the
procedure. An intraop US showed no further retained POC. The
pathology from the DandC was consistent with necrotic villi. She
will follow up with her OB/GYN as o/p in 2 weeks.
10. Anisocoria-On the day of transfer to the floors, it was
noted that the patient's pupils were not equal R>L by more than
1 mm. (comparison of old pictures showed this was not previously
the case.) Over the next two days, it was also noted that she
developed ptosis of the right eyelid. She was seen by neurology,
who thought the presentation was consistent with Horners and
could be secondary to right IJ placement. An US of her neck was
done which was negative for carotid dissection, hematoma, mass.
At no point did the patient have other focal neurological
symptoms. It was thought that the anisicoria should resolve on
its own and the pt could follow up with neurology in the future
if it did not resolve.

Date of Birth: [**2075-9-18**] Sex: F
Service: Cardiothoracic Service
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Shortness of breath
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient was a 55 year old
female who was recently discharged from [**Hospital6 649**] on [**2131-6-5**] after undergoing a workup for
shortness of breath. She had originally presented to [**Hospital3 9683**] in [**2131-5-5**] with left scapular and left arm pain
which was triggered by physical activity. She had denied at
that time any shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting or cough.
She was evaluated at [**Hospital1 **] Emergency Room and found to have
electrocardiogram changes and was transferred to [**Hospital6 1760**] for further evaluation. She
was catheterized in [**2131-6-4**] which demonstrated a normal
left main, a 50% proximal stenosis of the left anterior
descending, 100% mid stenosis of the left anterior descending
and 80% stenosis of the diagonal, and a 50% stenosis of the
left circumflex and 100% stenosis of the right posterolateral
artery. Echocardiogram demonstrated an ejection fraction of
40 to 45% with a mildly dilated left atrium, moderate
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, septal distal,
inferior and apical hypokinesis and 1+ mitral regurgitation.
On that admission the patient underwent stenting of a left
anterior lesion. She tolerated the procedure well and was
sent home and now returns for coronary artery bypass graft.
The patient has remained well with no symptoms.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for - 1. Coronary artery
disease status post stent to the left anterior descending; 2.
Sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement; 3. Noninsulin
dependent diabetes mellitus times 15 years; 4. Blindness
secondary to diabetic retinopathy.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Lopressor 50 mg p.o. b.i.d.,
Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., Protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d.,
Glucophage 500 mg p.o. b.i.d., Amaryl 4 mg p.o. b.i.d.,
Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. q.d. and Plavix which was stopped
preoperatively.
ALLERGIES: Penicillin and Novocaine, both of which cause
shortness of breath.
SOCIAL HISTORY: She is retired and lives alone and denies
tobacco and ethyl alcohol use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient is an obese female in no
acute distress. Temperature is 98, pulse 79, blood pressure
184/68, breathing at 20, 99% on room air. Her oropharynx is
clear. Her chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally. She
is regular with no murmurs, rubs or gallops. Her abdomen is
obese, soft, nontender with no palpable masses. She has
trace edema bilaterally.
LABORATORY DATA: Laboratory studies prior to admission
included white count 6.2, hematocrit 36, platelets 170, PT
12.7, PTT 26.7, INR 1.1, sodium 137, potassium 5.3, chloride
101, bicarbonate 26, BUN 24, creatinine 0.9, ALT 19, AST 14,
alkaline phosphatase 92, total bilirubin 0.8. Lactic
dehydrogenase is 143. Chest x-ray showed lungs clear, no
pleural effusions. Electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm at
a rate of 70, left axis deviation and Q waves in V1 through
V2 with ST segment elevation and T wave inversions. No acute
ischemic changes. Cardiac catheterization and echocardiogram
as above.
HOSPITAL COURSE: On the day of admission the patient went to
the Operating Room and she underwent coronary artery bypass
graft times three. The grafts were left internal mammary
artery to the left anterior descending, saphenous vein graft
to obtuse marginal and saphenous vein graft to ramus
intermedius. During the procedure she also underwent
mediastinal lipoma resection, and lymph node biopsy which was
sent to Pathology. She tolerated the procedure well and was
transferred to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, A-V
paced at 88 and on Propofol drip. Postoperatively she
remained hemodynamically stable and was making adequate urine
with minimal chest tube output. The patient was weaned to
extubation without incident. On postoperative day #1 her
pulmonary catheter was discontinued. The patient was
assisted to the chair and she remained hemodynamically stable
requiring no pressor support. She was transferred to the
floor on postoperative day #1.
On postoperative day #2 her chest tubes were removed, the
Foley catheter was removed, her Beta blocker was increased.
She remained hemodynamically stable and was seen by Physical
Therapy and began ambulation. On postoperative day #3 her
epicardial wires were removed. She was at activity level 4,
as otherwise had been tolerating a diet and is stable for
discharge to rehabilitation.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery
bypass graft times three
2. Sarcoidosis, no pulmonary involvement
3. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus

2. Probable bilateral simple renal cysts.
3. Small paraesophageal hernia.
[**2152-9-10**] Head CT :1. No acute intracranial abnormality.
2. Fluid level in the left maxillary sinus may be related to
chronic sinus
disease. Limited evaluation of the facial bones demonstrates no
evidence of
fracture. However, clinical correlation is recommended to
evaluate for facial
trauma versus sinus disease.
NOTE AT ATTENDING REVIEW: The left maxillary sinus finding could
represent a
minor degree of mucosal thickening, although the complete
maxillary sinuses
were not imaged on this stud
[**2152-9-10**] C Spine CT : 1. No evidence of acute fracture or
malalignment.
2. Multilevel degenerative change, most evident at C3-4, where
there is a
moderate central disc protrusion causing indentation of the
anterior thecal sac and cord compression. Acuity of this finding
is unknown. In addition, there is ossification of the posterior
longitudinal ligament at C3. These findings may predispose the
patient to cord injury in the setting of trauma, and MRI is
recommended for further evaluation if clinically indicated.
[**2152-9-10**] MRI C Spine : Disc protrusion at C3-4, which has mass
effect on the ventral aspect of the cord. There is
artifactually-increased T2-signal in the cord,
without definitivee evidence of cord edema. While this could
represent an
acute disc herniation, an acute-on-chronic, or simply chronic
process are also
possible.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to the TSICU and evaluated by the Trauma
Service and the Ortho/spine service. He remained hemodynamically
stable, his neck was stabilized with a cervical collar and
within 24 hours his left hsnd paresthesias resolved.
He underwent an MRI of the C spine which showed a C3-4 disc
protrusion with no evidence of cord edema. This could be acute,
acute on chronic or just a chronic finding. As his physical
exam improved he was transferred out of the ICU and was up and
ambulating on the surgical floor with a cervical collar in
place.
His blood sugars were checked QID however he was not placed on
his routine Janumet as his sugars were in the 100-130 range. He
will continue to check his sugars at home, record them and call
his endocrinologist tomorrow for further management.
After follow up by the ortho/spine service he was cleared for
discharge with instructions to wear his cervical collar at all
times except for showers and follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1007**] in 2
weeks.
At the time of discharge he was up and ambulating without
difficulty, tolerating a diabetic diet and his pain was
controlled with Ibuprofen. He was placed on Prilosec for use
during his therapy with Ibuprofen.

History of Present Illness:
This is a 61yoF with hx of bipolar d/o, nephrogenic diabetes
insipidus, hypothyroidism, recently diagnosed RLE peroneal DVT
on warfarin, admitted to the TSICU s/p fall for management of RP
bleed.
The pt was discharged to Rehab from [**Hospital1 18**]-[**Location (un) 620**] on [**2183-10-1**]
after an admission for altered mental status that was ultimately
attributed to lithium toxicity and an untreated UTI, during
which time she was found to have a RLE peroneal DVT and started
on warfarin. On [**10-9**] the pt had a witnessed slip and fall and
was taken to [**Hospital1 **]-N for hypotension where she was found to have
HCT 19. Noncon CT scan revealed a large left RP hematoma and
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further management.
In the TSICU the pt was hemodynamically unstable despite volume
resuscitation, was given ultimately 11u prbc and 8u ffp. IR was
consulted and on [**10-10**] placed an IVC filter and embolized 2
bleeding lumbar arteries after which she stabilized. No further
blood transfusions since [**10-10**]. Hemodynamically stable.
Pt still with some delirium/agitation, though alert and
oriented.
The patient is currently being transferred for management of
diabetes insipidus. Per the team they have been trying to free
water resuscitate but having difficulty following with her large

Imaging:
CXR:
Interval placement of a right internal jugular catheter with tip
projecting at the expected level of the high superior vena cava.
CXR:
Mild cardiomegaly is accompanied by worsening pulmonary vascular
congestion. Persistent areas of patchy and linear atelectasis
in the
juxtahilar regions, and in the retrocardiac area. Likely
layering left
pleural effusion resulting in hazy increased opacity throughout
the left
hemithorax.
TTE:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size, and global systolic function are normal
(LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall
motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets (?#) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion. No definite aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not
be determined. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Normal biventricular
cavity sizes with preserved global biventricular systolic
function. No definite valvular dysfunction identified.
CTA Chest:
1. The exam is equivocal. There is no central PE. Left lower
lobe
heterogeneity in arteries is probably due to artifact and less
likely to
pulmonary embolism. A VQ scan can be helpful.
2. Right pleural effusion is minimal and left pleural effusion
is
mild-to-moderate and both have increased since [**10-9**]. The
left one has hemorrhagic density.
CXR: Improvement of congestive pattern, new pulmonary
abnormalities.
CXR: As compared to the previous radiograph, the lung volumes
have
decreased. As a consequence, there is crowding of the vascular
and bronchial structures at the lung bases and a newly appeared
retrocardiac atelectasis. However, there is no evidence for
acute lung changes such as pneumonia or pulmonary edema. No
pleural effusions. Unchanged borderline size of the cardiac
silhouette.
Brief Hospital Course:
HOSPITALIZATION SUMMARY:
61yoF with history bipolar disorder, nephrogenic diabetes
insipidus, hypothyroidism, recently diagnosed RLE peroneal DVT
on warfarin initially presented s/p fall found to have RP bleed
called out to medicine for management for diabetes insipidus who
hospital course was complicated by: hypoxia, tachycardia,
polyuria, delirium and Ecoli/Pseudomonas Bacteremia from UTI.
ACTIVE ISSUES:
# Gram Negative Rod Sepsis: On HD12, patient developed acute
onset leukocytosis to 19 and spiked a fever to 103.1. Patient
was pancultured and UA revealed a UTI. She was initially started
CTX however patient continued to spike fevers and was broadened
to Vancomycin and Zosyn. On HD13, it was found that she had GNRs
in her blood. Ciprofloxacin was added. She continued to have
positive blood cultures until [**10-22**]. She defervesced on [**10-22**] AM
and was ultimately narrowed to cefepime. CT Torso was completed
and ruled out perinephric abscess. A PICC line placed. Patient
ill need 2 weeks of cefepime. Last dose will be [**11-5**].
# Retroperitoneal Bleed: Patient was admitted initially to
surgical service after found to be hypotensive and with Hct of
19. She was subsequently found to have a large retroperitoneal
bleed in the setting of an INR of 2.9 from anticoagulation for
known DVT. Patient was given a total of 11 units of pRBCs and 8
units of FFP. Given her instability she was taken emergency to
angiography from embolization to stop the bleeding. Patient was
observed in the surgical ICU for several days with stable blood
counts. She was then transferred to the general medicine floor
for ongoing management. Given recent life threatening bleed,
anticoagualtion was not restarted (see below) and IVC filter was
placed.
# Hypoxia/Tachypnea: Upon transfer to the medical service,
patient was noted to be tachypneic and mildly hypoxic to 88-92%
on room air. Chest xray revealed pulmonary congestion consistent
with hypervolemic state. She was given one dose of lasix with
improvement of oxygen saturations. CTA chest was completed which
was equivocal for PE however given recent bleed and improvement
of oxygen saturation, anticoagulation was not inititated (see
below). She remained intermittently tachypneic however it seemed
related to anxiety given relately normal chest xrays. She did
suffer from a cough which was thought to be related to mild
reactive airway disease. Her symptoms improved with nebulizer
treatments.
# Tachycardia: Patient developed sinus tachycardia while
admitted. Initially it was thought to be related to
intravascular depletion given large blood loss and underlying
nephrogenic diabetes insipidis (see below). However volume
repletion was difficult given hypoxia. PE was also considered
given hypoxia and recent DVT. CTA was pursued however was
equivocal. TSH was checked and was normal. Psychogenic causes
(given history of bipolar disorder) and medication related
tachycardia (largely duloxetine) were also considered however
after discussion with psychiatry this appeared less likely.
Patient ultimately started on metoprolol with good response.
# Polyuria/Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: After aggressive
fluid resuscitation and in the setting of underlying nephrogenic
diabetes insipidus from chronic lithium use patient developed
polyuria (urinating upwards to 13L per day). She as a resulted
developed hypernatremia to 151 and while in the surgical ICU was
given D5W. She was also started on amloride however given
hyperkalemia, it was discontinued. While on the medical floor,
she continued to have polyuria. Renal was consulted and
recommended increasing access to free water and allowing for
autoequilibration. By HD#[**6-29**], she seemed to remain euvolemic
without requiring any interventions.
# Delirium: On arrival to [**Hospital1 18**], in the setting of acute
illness, patient was delirious. Psychiatry was consulted who
suggested using olanzapine [**Hospital1 **] with prn doses. With resolution
of acute illness, delirium improved dramatically.
# Recent DVT: Patient was recently diagnosed with DVT and was
placed on lovenox and coumadin. It was thought that her RP bleed
was related to a fall in the setting of being anticoagulated.
While patient remained stable and Hct was stable, she remained a
fall risk. Anticoagulation in this setting was deemed a major
risk. While her CTA chest was equivocal she clinically improved
without anticoagulation. A discussion was had with the patient
and husband regarding the risks and benefits of anticoagulation
and it was decided to hold on anticoagulation until patient
becomes stronger from a mobility standpoint. This will need to
be readdressed in a couple of weeks.
# Deconditioning: Given extensive hospitalization, patient
became deconditioned. Physical therapy saw patient and
recommended rehab. It should be noted that the goal of Mrs.
[**Known lastname **] is to ultimately return home once she is stronger.
# Bipolar Disorder: Patient with prior history bipolar and had
been on lithium in the past. Recently she had lithium toxicity
and lithium was ultimately stopped. After discussion with [**Hospital1 18**]
psychiatry and outpatient psychiatry, patient was started on
olanzapine for mood stabilization.
# IV Contrast Filitration: On HD#15, patient underwent CT torso
to evaluate for abscess/fluid collection given persistent fevers
(see below). While at CT, IV contrast infiltrated skin. Plastics
and hand were consulted who felt hand was safe. They recommended
hand elevation and frequent exams. On discharge there was no
evidence of compartment syndrome or skin necrosis.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
- RP Bleed: Patient's hematocrit has been stable. She will need
follow up CBC on [**2183-11-6**] to ensure Hematocrit stability
- GNR Bacteremia: Patient will continue cefepime until [**11-6**]. At
this time, PICC line can be discontinued
- Tachycardia: Patient should have metoprolol titrated for goal
HR < 90.
- Anticoagulation: Coumadin held given recent bleed and fall
risk however anticoagulation should be readdressed once patient
is stronger.

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Location (un) 582**] at [**Location (un) 620**]
Discharge Diagnosis:
retroperitoneal bleed
deep vein thrombosis
sinus tachycardia
septicemia from urinary tract infection
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane).
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital because you feel and were
found to have a large bleed in your belly. It required
embolization of one the arteries in your belly. You also
required several units of blood to replace the blood your lost.
While admitted you developed a urinary tract infection which
spread to your blood and made you very sick. We treated you with
antibiotics and the bacteria cleared from your blood. Because of
the severity of your infection however you will require IV
antibiotics for several days. The last day of antibiotics will
be on [**2183-11-6**].
Your heart rate was also elevated while you were admitted and we
started you on a medication to slow your heart rate.
You were originally on Coumadin (a blood thinning medication) to
help treat the clot in your leg that you developed several weeks
ago. Because of the bleed that your suffered and because you
remain at risk for bleeding, we have decided to hold Coumadin
until you become stronger. This will need to be readdressed when
you are stronger.
Followup Instructions:
You will need to follow up with your PCP when you are discharged
from rehab. You will also need to follow up with your
psychiatrist when you are discharged from rehab.

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 21 year old African-American male with no
significant past medical history who presented to the ED on
[**2142-4-28**] after being transferred from [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital. The
patient had presented to [**Hospital1 1474**] via his family on [**2142-4-27**] at
5:30 pm with the chief complaint of generalized body aches. He
complained of left knee pain after recently suffered an injury
to his left knee (scraped) while playing basketball for which he
was evaluated for at an OSH. He also complained of nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and headache.
.
At [**Hospital1 1474**], the patient was noted to have a temperature of 103,
P 122, BP 128/69. He was sat'ing 99% on RA. The patient was
found to have a left swollen knee and purpura fulminans. He was
given Ceftriaxone 2 gm IV (split dose), doxycycline 100 mg PO,
vancomycin 1 gm IV. He also received an estimated 3.5 liters.
.
The patient's ABG at [**Hospital1 1474**] at 12:40 am was as follows:
.
7.33/27/103/13.6
.
His Chem7 at [**Hospital1 1474**] was notable for a K of 3.2, gap of 15, Cr

.
7.11/47/116/16 with a lactate of 9.6 at 5:15 am on [**2142-4-28**].
.
He was subsequently intubated. His SBP dropped to the 80s and he
was thus started on levophed now at 0.458. Solumedrol and later
decadron were given. Central line with continuous Svo2 monitor
placed.

.
CXR [**2142-4-28**] - The heart is normal in size. The mediastinal
contours are within normal limits. Note is made of increased
interstitial markings bilaterally, worrisome for atypical
infection such as virus or PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) 67451**] arch is somewhat
prominent.
.
CT HEAD [**2142-4-28**] - No evidence of hemorrhage, shift of normally
midline structures, or hydrocephalus. [**Doctor Last Name **]-white differentiation
appears grossly preserved. Air- fluid levels are noted within
the frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. There is also
opacification of the ethmoid airspaces.
.
MRI HEAD/CSPINE ([**2142-5-12**])- No evidence of intracranial
enhancement, mass effect, or hydrocephalus. No focal signal
abnormalities or acute infarcts. Extensive soft tissue changes
in the mastoid air cells and the paranasal sinuses could be
related to intubation. No evidence of epidural abscess or
hematoma. No spinal cord compression seen. Clinical correlation
recommended.
.
CT TORSO ([**2142-5-13**]) -
CT OF THE CHEST WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The endotracheal tube is
above the level of the carina. The NG tube is in satisfactory
position. There are multiple sub 5-mm pulmonary nodules
diffusely throughout the lung fields. There are small bilateral
pleural effusions as well as bibasilar atelectasis. There is
diffuse anasarca. There is evidence of pulmonary edema. There
are no visualized lymph nodes meeting CT criteria for pathology
on this unenhanced scan. The pleural effusions measures simple
fluid in Hounsfield units.
.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: On this unenhanced scan,
the liver, adrenal glands, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas,
kidneys, and ureters are normal. The small bowel is normal. The
large bowel is distended and fluid- filled, and featureless.
Again there is diffuse anasarca. There is no visualized
lymphadenopathy or free fluid, given the limitations of this
unenhanced scan. The aorta is of normal caliber. There is no
evidence of retroperitoneal hematoma.
.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The rectum is fluid-filled
and
distended. The bladder contains a Foley catheter. There is
diffuse anasarca. No free fluid. No inguinal lymphadenopathy.
.
PORTABLE CHEST OF [**2142-5-29**]
Tracheostomy tube and right PICC line remain in standard
position. Cardiac silhouette appears prominent but stable in
size. Pulmonary vascularity is within normal limits. Previously
reported basilar areas of consolidation are no longer evident.
There are no new areas of consolidation, but the extreme
periphery of the right lung base laterally has been excluded,
precluding assessment of this region.
.
ECHOCARDIOGRAM [**2142-5-25**]:
The left atrium is dilated. No atrial septal defect is seen by
2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are
normal. The left ventricular
cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular systolic
function is normal
(LVEF 70%). No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle.
There is no ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and
no aortic regurgitation. No masses or vegetations are seen on
the aortic valve. The mitral valve appears structurally normal
with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. The
estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. No
vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. There is no
pericardial effusion. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial
effusion.
.
TEE [**2142-6-1**] (under general anesthesia): No thrombus/mass is seen
in the body of the left or right atrium. No atrial septal defect
is seen by 2D or color Doppler. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). A Chiari network is
present in the right atrium (normal finding). The ascending,
transverse and descending thoracic aorta are normal in
diameter and free of atherosclerotic plaque. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are structurally normal. No mitral regurgitation is
seen. No masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic, mitral,
tricuspid or pulmonic valves. There is a trivial pericardial
effusion or pericardial fat present.
.
CXR [**2142-6-6**]: Portable chest radiograph reviewed. The PICC tip
is unchanged in position overlying the mid SVC. The heart and
mediastinal contours are stable. The lungs are suboptimally
evaluated given exposure, but appear clear. The pleura appear
clear. Pulmonary vasculature appear normal. IMPRESSION: No
evidence for PICC migration.

Brief Hospital Course:
ADMISSION IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT:
21 year old male with no known significant PMH p/w
menongococcemia, purpura fulminans, ARDS and DIC. His hospital
course, by problem list is as follows.
.
1) SEPTIC SHOCK/PURPURA FULMINANS: [**11-28**] Blood culture bottles at
[**Hospital 1474**] hospital were positive for N. meningitidis, although
near-daily cultures of blood, sputum, and urine throughout the
patient's ICU stay remained negative. On admission to the ICU,
the patient recieved a 4 day course of Xigris and a 7 day course
of empiric stress dose steroids
(Hydrocortisone/fludricortisone). To treat his infection, he had
an 8d course of cephalosporin (for meningococcemia; recieved
ceftriaxone x 6d then cefepime), vancomycin, and flagyl. He
persistently spiked nightly fevers to 103, and he had a profound
leukocytosis up to 98.6K, with L shift. Culture data remained
negative, and his only source was a questionable LLL pneumonia
on CXR. Bedside flexible bronchoscopy and a BAL were pristine,
so antibiotics were discontinued on hospital day 9. He briefly
defervesced after changing of his central venous catheter, but
then continued to have nightly fevers. He recieved another 10d
course of vancomycin, cefepime, and flagyl empirically. When
these antibiotics were discontinued, his white count had
normalized, although he continued to have low grade fevers.
Infectious disease was consulted upon admission, and followed
the patient throughout his hospital stay.
.
The patient also was noted to have progressive acral necrosis of
his fingers and toes. This was followed daily by the ICU team,
and plastic/hand surgery and podiatry were consulted. There was
no evidence of wet gangrene/progressive infection, and the
necrosis was allowed to demarcate. By discharge from the ICU,
this had been stable for one week, and the patient's necrosis
remained limited to the distal 1.5 phalanxes of bilateral hands
(largely sparing the thumbs), as well as the distal phalanx of
bilateral feet. Occupational therapy was consulted to help the
patient with this, and the patient will be followed as an
outpatient or at rehab by OT. He also will follow up weekly with
hand surgery and podiatry to assess need for amputation (versus
allowing auto-amputation).
.
The patient also had diffuse lower extremity bullae and purpura,
which were cared for supportively with [**Hospital1 **] bacitracin as well as
xeroform dressings.
.
#) PERSISTENT FEVERS: Intravenous access was difficult to
obtain, and access was maintain via L subclavian central venous
catheter. This was removed in the setting of persistent fevers
and IR placed a PICC line. Blood cultures revealed Methicillin
Resistant Staph Epidermidis and pt was started on Vancomycin for
14 day course. C. diff toxin assay were also positive and the
patient was started on metronidazole. Pt. was sent to OR for
surgical wound debridement with podiatry of the R foot, wound
cultures revealed pseudomonas and ceftazidime was started for
full Gram negative coverage.
.
2) ACUTE RENAL FAILURE: Upon admission, the patient was noted to
have a Cr 3.1, BUN 20 from presumed normal baseline. This
trended up to a maximum Cr of 7.3 on HD#6. The renal team was
following the patient throughout his stay, and thought the renal
failure was likely Acute Tubular Necrosis from his sepsis.
Dialysis was considered, but the patient never met acute
indications for dialysis. He was treated prn with high dose
diuretics (Lasix 200mg IV and Diuril 500mg IV up to [**Hospital1 **]) for
decreased urine output in the context of anasarca. However,
predominately, he was treated supportively, and from HD#7, his
creatine began to trend down and he autodiuresed significantly.
By discharge from the ICU, his creatinine had normalized to 0.8.
.
3) RESPIRATORY FAILURE: The patient was intubated on arrival due
to respiratory distress/fatigue with profound metabolic
acidosis. Initial chest xrays were consisted with ARDS, and the
patient was maintained on lung protective ventilation. As
mentioned above, daily chest xrays showed questionable pneumonia
versus pulmonary edema. The patient was on vancomycin, cefepime
and flagyl; and was also diuresed. His chest xrays continued to
show significant edema, however, his vent settings were able to
be weaned over his stay. He was not able to pass a spontaneous
breathing trial, and extubation was also deferred because the
patient had significant oral lesions and glossal edema, raising
the concern for difficulty in reintubation. The patient
therefore recieved a tracheostomy tube and PEG tube with
thoracic surgery. He tolerated the procedure well, and
postoperatively was quickly able to be transitioned to a trach
mask, then a passamuir valve over the course of 2 days. His
respiratory status remained stable throughout the remainder of
his ICU stay.
.
4) CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM - The patient had several different
cardiovascular issues during his stay. On HD#1 an ECHO showed
severely depressed LV function, with estimated EF < 15%. Repeat
ECHO on HD#4 showed improved, but still severly depressed LV
function, EF 30%. This was not repeated during his ICU stay. He
also had one episode of non-sustained (~30 BEATS) ventricular
tachycardia. His hemodynamics were stable and his electrolytes
were normal at this time, however, and he had no further
episodes of similar tachycardias. He was maintained on telemetry
throughout this stay. He did have elevation of his cardiac
biomarkers, which peaked on hospital day #7 with a Troponin T of
4.21. His CKs had been elevated (thought due to his acral
necrosis), and his EKGs were unchanged. The troponinemia was
ascribed to his renal failure and systolic heart failure (as
opposed to an NSTEMI), and indeed, the rise and fall improved
with resolution of his renal function. He should have a repeat
ECHO as an outpatient, in [**3-1**] weeks after hospital discharge.
.
Additionally, after resolution of his initial sepsis, the
patient was persistently tachycardic (HR usually 120s-130s, up
to 150s, always sinus rhythm), and hypertensive (SBPs up to
180s-190s). The etiology was thought to be due to a combination
of pain, anxiety, and fevers, and a generalized state of
sympathetic excess. The patient was started on amlodipine,
hydralizine, and metoprolol.
.
5) NEUROLOGIC - As the patient's sedation was weaned in advance
of possible extubation, he was noted to have questionable
neurologic deficits. Specifically, he was not moving his upper
extremities spontaneously, and while he was able to follow
commands by eye blinking, he did not appear to demonstrate any
tracking movements with his eyes. As he had been on Xigris, and
also had significant microvascular pathology in other organ
systems, an MRI HEAD/CSPINE was obtained to rule out
intracerebral or spinal hematoma, bleeds, or infection. This
examination was normal. An ophthamologic consult was also
obtained to perform a dilated pupil retinal exam. This showed
diffuse bilateral retinal hemorrhages, and outpatient follow up
was reccomended. His tracking gaze, and upper extremity movement
continued to improve as sedation was weaned.
.
6) FLUIDS/NUTRITION - The patient was maintained on tube feeds
throughout his admission. Initially, he had high residuals, and
therefore, was supplemented with parenteral nutrition. Nutrition
service provided useful reccomendations. By discharge, the
patient had passed a speech and swallow examination, and was
tolerating po intake with his PM valve in place. From a fluids
standpoint, the patient required initial aggressive fluid
rescuscitation for his sepsis and insensible volume losses, and
was significantly volume overloaded throughout his stay,
although this improved dramatically with forced- and
auto-diuresis, and improvement of his renal function.

TRANSFER TO FLOOR.
The patient's renal failure normalized; his creatinine returned
to normal. The patient was breathing room air through a
tracheostomy tube; the trach tube was removed on [**2142-6-6**]. Soon
afterward, he was tolerating PO food; the G-tube was removed on
[**2142-6-10**]. The patient spiked low-grade temperatures until [**2142-5-27**],
when his temperature remained below 100.4F. Cultures were
positive for the following:
- MRSE in blood and wound culture ([**5-22**] in blood, [**5-28**] in wound)
- + C. diff ([**2142-5-27**])
- + Yeast in wound cultures ([**5-30**] in wound culture)
- Pseudomonas in wound cultures ([**5-28**] in wound culture)
For these organisms, the patient was continued on vancomycin
(started [**5-22**]), cefepime to ciprofloxacin (started [**5-29**]), and
metronidazole (started [**2142-5-28**]). He will continue to get a full
six week course of these antibiotics.
.
His foot wounds were dressed daily by podiatry, using Duoderm
gel on dry sterile dressings and xenoform on leg wounds,
bacitracin on leg bullae. His fingers were dressed with dry
sterile dressing between the fingers to minimize maceration.
.
The patient is discharged to a rehab facility in stable
condition for continued physical therapy, daily dressing
changes, and IV antibiotic treatment (vancomycin). He requires
substantial pain control especially for his dressing changes,
and he has developed a tolerance to morphine; his pain is
controlled with 2-4mg morphine EVERY MORNING before dressing
changes, and he has tolerated a sliding scale of morphine
(1-8mg) for physical therapy and any additional dressing changes
or examinations of the wounds. He is discharged in stable
condition, tolerating PO fluids/regular diet, breathing room
air, and afebrile.

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 47 year old with PMHx COPD who was found down
in hotel room. Per report, he had been having several days of
N/V/D with possible AMS x1 day. He was taken to [**Hospital3 **]
where he was found to be unconcious, hypotensive, altered,
mumbling, responding only to pain. He had right CVL placed,
started on levophed, and intubated. He had a difficult
intubation requiring 30 of Etomidate and 10 of Vec and 2 passes
with a glide scope. A 7.0mm tube was placed. Labs returned
with Cr 9.7, K of 7.7 with peaked T waves and widened QRS. He
was given CaCl x2, insulin/D50, 2 amps bicarb, and 3L NS. He
was started on zosyn, but this was stopped when he reached [**Hospital1 18**]
as it was discovered he has an allergy to penicillin. He was
initially difficult to ventilate at [**Hospital3 15402**] so was paralyzed
with 2 doses of vec and was given solumedrol/albuterol for
?obstructive process. Transported via [**Location (un) **] to [**Hospital1 18**] during
which time he became easier to ventilate. Labs showed K
remaining elevated at 6.8 - he got Cagluconate, amp of bicarb.
EKG improved, with slightly peaked T waves, QRS 78. CT
Head/Neck was done and was ok. CT A/P showed RLL consolidation,
confirmed on CT Chest. ABG shoed increased CO2 so his RR was
increased to 28. He was given Levaquin/flagyl/vanco as well as
lasix 40mg IV with 3L urine output while in ED.
.
On arrival to the MICU, he was intubated and sedated on
pressors.

Imaging:
[**2102-4-20**] Portable CXR:
FINDINGS: An endotracheal tube terminates near the thoracic
inlet, approximately 7.5 cm above the carina. An orogastric tube
passes beneath the left hemidiaphragm, its distal course not
imaged. Opacification in the right lower hemithorax suggests a
pleural effusion with volume loss including mild rightward shift
of mediastinal structures most suggestive of atelectasis. An
infectious causes is not excluded, however. The left lung
appears clear. Although the extreme left costophrenic sulcus is
partly excluded, there is no evidence for pleural effusion on
the left side. Allowing for technique, the cardiac, mediastinal
and hilar contours are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Endotracheal tube in a somewhat high lying position,
approximately 7.5 cm above the carina. If clinically indicated,
the tube could be advanced by approximately 3 cm.
2. Right basilar opacification with volume loss including
suspicion for a
pleural effusion.
.
[**2102-4-20**] Head CT: FINDINGS: There is no evidence of intracranial
hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of normally midline structures,
or vascular territorial infarct. [**Doctor Last Name **]-white matter
differentiation is preserved throughout. The ventricles and
sulci are normal in size and configuration. No fractures are
noted. Opacification within the paranasal sinuses is likely
related to recent intubation. Mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial process.
.
[**2102-4-20**] CT Chest: FINDINGS: The right middle and lower lobe are
collapsed. Bronchiectasis is mild in the segmental and
subsegmental bronchi of the middle lobe, and in the subsegmental
divisions of the superior and basal segments. There is no
central bronchial occlusion. The constellation suggests that
atelectasis may well be chronic. There is no indication of
pneumonia or pleural or pericardial abnormality. A few small
bronchi in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe are
impacted and there is mild heterogeneity in background density
of both upper lobes suggesting small airway obstruction or mild
emphysema. Mediastinal lymph nodes are not pathologically
enlarged. In the absence of contrast administration, I cannot
say that there are no enlarged right hilar lymph nodes (there
are none on the left), but even if right hilar nodes are
present, they are not contributing to the atelectasis because
there is no bronchial obstruction.
Heart is normal size and the study is notable for the virtual
absence of atherosclerotic calcification, except for small
plaques at the bifurcation of the innominate artery. ET tube is
in standard placement. Excretions are pooled above the inflated
cuff.
This study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis except
to note there is no adrenal mass. A small Bochdalek hernia in
the posterior right hemidiaphragm transmits only subphrenic fat.
IMPRESSION:
1. Combination of mild but diffuse bronchiectasis in collapsed
right middle and lower lobes. In the absence of bronchial
obstruction, this suggests that the collapse is not acute. No
evidence of pneumonia. Minimal mucoid impaction in small bronchi
in the upper lobe.
2. Either small airway obstruction or mild emphysema.
.
CT C-spine: FINDINGS: Imaged portions of the brain are better
visualized on the concurrent head CT. Patient is intubated.
Nasogastric and endotracheal tubes are in appropriate position.
No evidence of fractures or acute alignment abnormalities. No
evidence of critical spinal canal stenosis. Visualized portions
of the lung bases show some scarring in the right upper lobe.
Left upper lobe is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of fracture.
.
CT Abdomen/pelvis: CT OF THE ABDOMEN: At the right lower lung
bases consolidative processes with air bronchograms and volume
loss including rightward shift. No pericardial effusion. No
pleural effusion. The left lung is clear.
Within the abdomen, the evaluation structures is limited without
IV contrast, however, with these limitations in mind, the liver
is unremarkable. The gallbladder has been surgically removed.
The spleen, bilateral kidneys and pancreas are all unremarkable.
There is some fat stranding of unclear significance around the
left adrenal. The adrenals themselves are unremarkable.
An NG tube is seen coursing into the stomach and ending at the
pylorus. The remainder of the small bowel is unremarkable. Large
bowel is also unremarkable.
No mesenteric adenopathy is appreciated.
CT OF THE PELVIS: Rectum, sigmoid colon, bladder, and prostate
are all unremarkable. The patient has a Foley catheter.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: The osseous structures are unremarkable. No
concerning lytic or sclerotic lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute intra-abdominal process.
2. Consolidative process in the right lower lobe consistent with
pneumonia versus atelectasis; sequelae of aspiration could also
be considered particularly noting historical circumstances.
.
[**2102-4-21**] Portable CXR: IMPRESSION:
1. Interval placement of a right internal jugular central line
with its tip in the mid superior vena cava. The endotracheal
tube has its tip approximately 5.5 cm above the carina,
unchanged. A nasogastric tube is seen coursing below the
diaphragm with the tip not identified. Patchy and linear opacity
at the right base is stable suggestive of patchy and
subsegmental atelectasis. Probable small layering right
effusion. The lungs are otherwise clear without evidence of
pulmonary edema or pneumothorax. Overall, cardiac and
mediastinal contours are stable given differences in
positioning.

COPD, DM, HTN who presents after being found down with hypoxic
and hypercarbic respiratory failure, RLL consolidation,
hyperkalemia, and [**Last Name (un) **].
# Hypoxic and hypercarbic respiratory failure - Patient has a
history of COPD, on admission had prolonged expiration phase,
but no expiratory wheezing on exam. CT showed large right lower
lobe consolidation concerning for pneumonia, possibly
aspiration. No evidence of fluid overload on exam. Given body
habitus, may have component of hypoventilation or OSA. Urgent
bronchoscopy in MICU showed secretions in RLL but no mass or
obstructing lesion - sample sent for culture/gram stain. He was
treated for health-care acquired pneumonia with
vancomycin/meropenem/levofloxacin for atypical coverage pending
culture results. Legionella antigen negative. The patient
self-extubated on [**4-23**] and was able to be maintained with
non-invasive ventilation thereafter.
# Aspiration pneumonia- Patient was started on vancomycin,
meropenem and levofloxacin (for atypical coverage) in the MICU.
Upon transfer to the general medicine floor, the patient was
continued on broad spectrum antibiotics. As the patient
clinically improved, the patient was transitioned to oral
antibiotics, Levofloxacin and Clindamycin (for coverage of
anaerobic bacteria). The patient remained afebrile on oral
antibiotics. The patient was discharged home with another 3 days
of Levofloxacin and Clindamycin to complete a 10-day course for
treatment of aspiration pneumonia. Supplemental oxygen was
weaned and then discontinued. The patient was saturating in the
mid to high 90s at rest on room air and had ambulatory
saturation of 91-94% on room air day prior to discharge.
# Shock - Most likely from hypovolemia and sepsis. Bedside
ultrasound showed collapse of IJ with hyperdynamic and fully
contracting ventricles consistent with hypovolemia. While EKG
showed low voltages, he did not have evidence of pericardial
effusion or low EF on bedside U/S. Per the OMR note, he was
recently on steroids for COPD so he is at risk for AI. He was
treated for pneumonia, provided aggressive fluid resuscitation,
and provided stress dose steroids. He was weaned off pressors
after 24 hours and his pressure normalized.
# Hyperkalemia - The patient exhibited persistent kyperkalemia
despite adequate treatment, and despite good renal function.
EKGs initially showed mild peaked T waves, but QRS remained
stable. Normalized after the first 24 hours.
# Acute renal failure - Likely related to hypovolemia given the
patient's admission exam. CK initially flat so the patient's
acute renal failure was not attributed to rhabdomyolysis. Serum
creatinine improved with hydration to 1.6, although there is no
clear baseline for this patient. Serum creatinine was trended
through the admission, and the patient's serum creatinine
normalized, ranging from 0.9 to 1.0.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES: Patient will need to have renal function
reassessed at his next PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 648**].
# Pancytopenia - Upon transfer from the ICU to the floor, the
patient's cell counts were noted to be falling. Thrombocytopenia
initially was most pronounced. The patient did receive heparin
during the admission; 4T score of 4, classifying the patient's
probability of HIT as intermediate. The patient's CBC was
trended daily, and his white count and hematocrit were noted to
be falling as well. The differential included marrow suppression
secondary to sepsis or secondary to medication. On day of
discharge, the patient's blood cell lines were noted to be
uptrending.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES: Patient will need to have follow-up CBC at
next PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 648**].
CHRONIC ISSUES:
# Hypertension - Patient with a history of hypertension; as an
outpatient, patient is maintained on amlodipine 10, HCTZ 12.5mg,
and lisinopril 20mg daily. These medications were initially held
in light of shock. Patient's blood pressure initially ran in the
150s systolic. The patient was started on amlodipine 10mg daily
initially. With a stable trend in the patient's serum
creatinine, the patient's lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide
were restarted. With initiation of patient's full
anti-hypertensive regimen, the patient's systolic blood pressure
ranged in the 120s-130s systolic.
# Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - The patient had
albuterol and ipratropium inhalers available to him through his
admission. The patient was also given a nicotine patch through
the admission. Multiple times through the admission, the
importance of smoking cessation was emphasized to the patient.
He was also empirically started on Tiotropium inhaler once daily
on discharge. Upon discharge, the patient was provided with a
prescription for nicotine patches to aid with smoking cessation.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES: PFTs as an outpatient if not already done.
Smoking cessation counseling with the patient's primary care
provider.
# Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - As an outpatient, the patient is on
500mg metformin [**Hospital1 **]. Upon admission, the patient was
transitioned to an insulin sliding scale for hyperglycemic
coverage. On the medicine floor, the patient's finger stick
blood glucose ranged from 125-175, and he required minimal
insulin coverage. The patient was discharged home with
instructions to continue taking 500mg metformin [**Hospital1 **].
# History of muscle spasm - Patient was continued on home dose
of standing Valium 10mg TID.
# Chronic Low Back Pain - Oxycodone was restarted when the
patient was transferred to the medicine floor. Dosing was
up-titrated to original home dose and frequency on day of
discharge.
# History of substance abuse - Through the patient's stay in the
MICU, he was placed on a CIWA scale. The patient did not score
while in the ICU. On the medicine floor, the patient did not
score, and CIWA scale was discontinued. Of note, the patient has
been sober from alcohol for the past 17 years.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES: Follow-up pending HIV serology.
# Hepatitis C - Patient serology confirmed during this
admission. Viral load negative. Patient has not pursued
treatment in the past. Hepatitis B serology and HIV were also
drawn during this admission.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES: Discussion between the patient and his PCP
regarding treatment for hepatitis C. Patient will need hepatitis
B vaccination given hepatitis B serology. Follow-up pending HIV
serology.
# History of insomnia - Patient's home Seroquel was held upon
admission in light of patient's serious illness. This was
initially held on the medicine floors as the patient still
appeared drowsy. On day of discharge, patient was instructed to
continue Seroquel at home dosing.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 56-year-old male with
insulin dependent diabetes status post renal transplant in
[**2133**] now failing, also status post right tib-fib fracture.
In [**Month (only) 956**], the patient underwent an ORIF and at that time
and then was removed. The patient was treated with IV Zosyn
and Vancomycin for six weeks. Cultures at that time grew
gram-positive cocci. Patient completed his antibiotic course
a few weeks ago.
The patient was recently seen by his primary care physician,
[**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and his Renal doctor, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1860**], and was complaining
of increasing discharge from the right leg two wound sites on
the knee and on the ankle. A swab was taken at that time
which grew gram-negative rods, which turned out to be
Klebsiella that was sensitive to levofloxacin. Patient was
started on 250 mg q.d. levofloxacin on [**8-19**].
Of note, the patient's rapamycin level was also decreased
from 2 mg a day to 1 mg a day. Patient, hence, did not
report any fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, or
shortness of breath.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypertension.

In general, the patient is a thin male in no acute distress.
Cardiovascular system: Regular, rate, and rhythm. Lungs are
clear to auscultation bilaterally with no rales or rhonchi.
Abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended with positive bowel
sounds. Extremities: Fifth digit on the right foot is
amputated. Left foot has partial amputation. Patient has an
external fixator in place in the right lower extremity with
foul smelling purulent discharge from the wound in the right
ankle and the right knee.
LABORATORIES ON [**8-19**]: Patient has a wound culture that grew
Klebsiella sensitive to levofloxacin. White count of 12.8
with no left shift. Sodium 141, potassium 5.2, bicarb of 11,
BUN of 51, creatinine is 7.2, glucose of 189. Patient has an
albumin of 3.7, calcium 9.1, and a phosphorus of 5.9.
Rapamycin level of 3.4.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Right leg infection: Patient was continued on p.o.
levofloxacin. Blood cultures were drawn and ID was
consulted. Ortho was also consulted. Patient was followed
by Vascular Surgery as well.
On hospital day two, Vascular Surgery debrided the wound at
the bedside and sent repeat cultures. Repeat cultures
eventually grew back just gram-negative rods and so patient
was continued on levofloxacin.
On [**8-28**], the Ortho attending, Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] came to see the
patient and presented the option of amputation versus
debridement. The patient expressed desire to go the
conservative route, and attempt debridement surgery. On
[**8-29**], the patient went to the OR and debridement was done
with intraoperative tissue and bone cultures sent. Tissue
and bone cultures grew out gram-positive cocci, coag-negative
gram-positive cocci, and gram-negative rods not Pseudomonas.
The patient was then started on IV Vancomycin 1 gram dose for
levels less than 15.
Patient is to be followed by Ortho. Upon discharge, he will
follow up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] in clinic.
2. Renal: The patient has a failing kidney transplant. The
Renal Service decided to discontinue the CellCept and
increase prednisone to 5 mg q.d. and continue the rapamycin
at 1 mg q.d. Renal service discussed with Transplant Surgery
the need for hemodialysis access. He was assessed by
Transplant Surgery and will follow up with them as an
outpatient for likely hemodialysis access.
Patient's renal function, BUN and creatinine remained stable
throughout the hospitalization. He will follow up with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 1860**] as an outpatient.
3. Hyperphosphatemia: On admission, patient had a phosphate
of 5.9. His Rocaltrol was increased to 0.5 q.d. and then
further increased later due to continual increased phosphate
to 1 mcg q.d. Patient's phosphate then dropped to normal
levels and remained there throughout the hospitalization.
4. Hypocalcemia: Patient's calcium level on admission was
within normal limits. Patient's calcium carbonate was
continued at 1,000 mg t.i.d.
5. Acidosis: On admission, patient had a bicarb level of 11.
He was started on sodium bicarb 650 b.i.d. By [**8-31**],
patient's bicarb level was within normal limits and sodium
bicarb was discontinued. Patient's bicarb level remained
within normal limits throughout the hospitalization.
6. Hyperkalemia: Throughout the hospitalization, patient
required multiple doses of Kayexalate to maintain his
potassium less than 5. Patient's potassium stabilized at 4.6
and remained normal throughout the hospitalization.
7. Diabetes: Patient's diabetes is very difficult to control
and fluctuates widely between very hyperglycemic in the 300s
to hypoglycemic down to the 50s with mental status changes
and confusion.
[**Last Name (un) **] was consulted to follow the patient. On [**8-28**],
patient had an episode of low blood sugar down to 40 with
shaking and unresponsiveness. This was treated with D50 and
a decrease in his sliding scale. Patient continued to have
episodes of mild hypoglycemia until [**9-4**], at which point the
adjustments in his NPH insulin, regular insulin-sliding scale
were such that he no longer had episodes of severe
hypoglycemia. The patient is to followup with his [**Last Name (un) **]
physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name (STitle) **] as an outpatient for further diabetic
control.
8. Vomiting: Patient had occasional episodes of vomiting
throughout the hospitalization with immediate relief after
vomiting. Patient's vomiting is likely due to mild degree of
gastroparesis. On [**9-4**], the patient had an episode of
vomiting in the evening and was given Phenergan. Patient
then became agitated and aggressive. The patient was seen by
Psychiatry. Was placed on one-to-one sitter and required
restraints. Patient was also given Haldol with good affect.
The day following this episode, the patient was back to
baseline mental status with no further episodes of aggression
or agitation. The agitation was likely secondary to
Phenergan and Phenergan was avoided for the remainder of the
hospitalization.

History of Present Illness:
[**Age over 90 **] year old female that was brought to the ED tonight for
shortness of breath. The family noticed that the patient
appeared to be quite dyspnic this AM. The shortness of breath
was exacerbated by exertion. The patient has not had fever or
cough. No N/V/D. no abdominal complaints. The patient denied any
chest discomfort. The family has also noted cyanotic fingers and
toes that are new for the patient. She denies any associated
pain.
In the ED the patient had a chest x-ray that was consistent with
a significant left pleural effusion. A thoracentesis was
performed and removed 1.5L. Post procedure chest x-ray showed
improvement. The patient symptomatically improved and required
lower oxygen requirements. She was found to have a lactic
acidosis that improved after 1L of crystalloid. She was given IV
vancomycin and cefepime for empiric antimicrobial coverage.
In the ED, initial VS were: Sinus tachycardia, 108, 125/76, 29,

Portable CXR [**2200-11-10**]:
IMPRESSION: Large left pleural effusion with associated lower
lung atelectasis. Please note underlying pneumonia cannot be
excluded. Recommend followup to resolution.
Portable CXR [**2200-11-10**]:
Previous left pleural effusion has nearly resolved following
thoracentesis. No obvious pneumothorax. Heterogeneous
opacification in the left lung could be residual atelectasis or
reexpansion edema and should be followed. Mild interstitial
abnormality and possible bronchiectasis noted in the right lung,
but nothing acute. The heart is moderately enlarged.
TTE [**2200-11-11**]:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity is unusually
small. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Left ventricular systolic
function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). with borderline normal free
wall function. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or
aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The left
ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. There
is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space which most
likely represents a prominent fat pad.
CT chest w/o contrast [**2200-11-11**]:
FINDINGS:
Extensive calcifications of the aorta are noted. Mediastinal
lymph nodes are not pathologically enlarged based on the size
criteria. There is normal diameter of the pulmonary arteries.
There is left lower lobe extensive consolidation associated with
pleural
effusion. In addition there are multiple pulmonary nodules with
ill-defined margins noted throughout the lungs bilaterally.
Multiple pulmonary nodules are bilateral, ranging up to 15 mm in
the left upper lobe, 10.5 mm in the right upper lobe. Some of
the nodules are cavitated. No definite dominant lesion is noted
in the lungs, but it potentially could be obscured by extensive
consolidation in the lingula and left lower lobe.
Small amount of pleural effusion on the current study appears to
be decreased as compared to [**2200-11-10**] and most likely
unchanged since chest radiograph obtained after thoracocentesis.
Airways are patent to the level of subsegmental bronchi
bilaterally. No bone abnormalities to suggest lytic or sclerotic
lesions worrisome for neoplasm or infectious process
demonstrated. The imaged portion of the upper abdomen
demonstrates sludge in the gallbladder and otherwise is
unremarkable within the limitations of this study technique.
IMPRESSION:
1. Substantial consolidation in the left lower lobe and lingula
with some degree of volume loss associated currently with
minimal amount of pleural effusion. Infectious etiology would be
the first choice, although underlying neoplasm or vasculitis
cannot be excluded. All those etiologies may potentially explain
the presence of multiple ill-defined pulmonary nodules seen in
both lungs as well as consolidation, correlation with clinical
symptoms and tissue diagnosis is required.
2. The extensive consolidations might potentially obscure
pulmonary lesions being dominant in the case of malignancy.
Portable CXR [**2200-11-13**]:
FINDINGS:
Since the most recent examination, there has been interval
increase in now a small-to-moderate left layering pleural
effusion. There is mild improvement in ill-defined nodular
opacification scattered throughout all lung fields as better
characterized on recent CT. There is no evidence of
pneumothorax. There is no right-sided effusion. The
cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are stable, demonstrating
borderline enlarged heart size. Pulmonary vascularity is not
increased.
IMPRESSION:
1. Mild interval increase in now small-to-moderate left layering
pleural
effusion since most recent examination.
2. Mild improvement in multifocal ill-defined nodular
opacification, as
better characterized on CT from [**2200-11-11**].
MRI head w and w/o contrast [**2200-11-14**]:
FINDINGS: Diffusion images demonstrate a small area of high
signal in the
right occipital lobe near the midline without corresponding
enhancement.
Subtle T2-hyperintensity is also seen in this region.
Additionally, there is a focus of hyperintensity in the left
centrum semiovale, which demonstrates an area of enhancement.
There are no other areas of abnormal enhancement seen. There is
moderate-to-severe brain atrophy seen with prominence of
temporal horns indicating temporal lobe atrophy.
Mild-to-moderate changes of small vessel disease are seen.
IMPRESSION: A focus of hyperintensity on diffusion images in the
right
occipital lobe without corresponding enhancement is too small to
characterize on ADC map, but could represent a small acute
infarct. An abnormality in the left centrum semiovale
demonstrates T2 abnormality with subtle enhancement. Given the
faint enhancement and T2 abnormality, the differential diagnosis
includes a small deep white matter subacute infarct versus a
metastatic lesion. A followup study in two weeks would help for
further assessment. No other areas of abnormal enhancement seen.
No territorial infarcts are identified. Brain atrophy is seen.
Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **]yo F with dementia, HL, and osteoporosis who presented with
SOB and was found to have large left sided pleural effusion on
CXR.
#Pleural Effusion, malignant: Patient presented to the ED with
shortness of breath, tachypnea and hypoxia. Chest x-ray was
significant for a large left pleural effusion. Thoracentesis was
performed that removed 1.5L of fluid. Analysis showed 300 WBC
with 33% PMN. Light criteria negative for exudate. Gram stain
was negative. Differential is broad but based on history,
physical, and labs question parapneumonic effusion vs
malignancy. Less likely to be CHF, PE. TTE was performed that
showed EF >75%. BNP was [**Numeric Identifier 1199**] on admission but dramatically
decreased to 3694 after thoracentesis. Patient was transitioned
to ceftriaxone and azithromycin for empiric coverage for CAP and
treated with 7 days of antibiotics. Repeat chest x-ray was
consistent with intersitial edema and questionable consolidation
in the left lower lobe. Oxygen requirements were weaned and the
patient was transferred on 2L on nasal cannula. She remained
mostly on room air, intermittently on 1-2L oxygen, throughout
remainder of hospital course on the floor. Repeat CXRs showed
slow re-accumulation of left pleural effusion. Cytology of the
pleural fluid returned positive for malignant cells, showing
metastatic adenocarcinoma. Interventional pulmonary continued
to follow the patient on the floor. Discussion of therapeutic
options for the pleural effusion was held, including possible
options of chest tube drain and pleurodesis. Prior to discharge,
the option of performing a repeat thoracentesis to drain
remaining fluid was discussed with the family. Given the risks
of the procedure, the family declined further interventions.
The palliative care team was consulted for further guidance on
end of life care. On [**2200-11-17**], family meeting was held with the
palliative care team to discuss goals of care and options for
care at home vs extended care facility. The family decided to
home hospice and the patient was discharged on [**2200-11-18**] with home
hospice service in place. She will need 24 hour care at home,
home oxygen at home for oxygen saturation below 90%, and a
wheelchair. She will also be provided with medications to help
with comfort, including morphine.
# Somnolence/Encephalopathy: Pt exhibited waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**]
levels of somnolence during her hospital stay. Per family
report, she had also been increasingly sleep at home prior to
admission to hospital. Because of the likelihood of malignancy
and possibility of metastatic spread, MRI of the head was
pursued after discussion with the family about risks and
benefits of head imaging. The MRI showed a focus of
hyperintensity in right occipital lobe that could represent
small acute infarct as well as abnormality in left centrum
semiovale consistent with either subacute infarct vs metastatic
lesion. Patient was started on a baby aspirin and will remain
on her simvastatin. Her LDL was 108.
#Lactic acidosis: Patient presented with a lactate of 5.3. After
thoracentesis and fluid resuscitation lactate improved to 4.1.
Etiology includes hypovolemia and hypoperfusion vs sepsis vs
hypoxia. Patient does have an elevated WBC to 15.6 with a left
shift. Patient was hemodynamically stable. Received IV
vancomycin and cefepime in the ED and was transitioned to
ceftriaxone/azithromycin. Lactate normalized to 1.6 prior to
transfer to the floor.
#Acute Kidney Injury: On admission, patient had acute elevation
in her Cr from 0.8 to 1.5 with an elevated BUN to 59. Pre-renal
azotemia most likely secondary to hypovolemia. Differential also
includes ATN. FeNa <1%. Most likely secondary to hypovolemia. Cr
improved with fluid resusciation. Cr was at baseline 0.6 by
time of discharge. She was given conservative IV fluids prn for
signs of volume depletion, including tachycardia to low 100s and
low urine output.
#Hyperglycemia/DM type 2, uncontrolled, without complications:
Patient with a history of diabetes and on glimepiride at home
presenting with serum glucose of 394. Patient was started on
sliding scale insulin. Prior to discharge home, fingersticks
remained 100s-200s without insulin. Hemoglobin A1c was 10.8.
Risks and benefits of oral agents for diabetes were discussed
with family. Because of the risks of hypoglycemia and her
minimal po intake, the patient was not discharged on home oral
hypoglycemics.
#Cyanotic Digits: Patient has cyanosis of fingers and toes. Not
associated with any pain. Positive radial pulses. Left DP/PT
present on Doppler but was not able to be obtained on the right.
Currently does not appear to be ischemic but more likely to be
chronic PVD. After re-examining the patient during HD 1 morning
rounds the extremity cyanosis resolved and pulses were present
in all extremities. ABI showed bilateral aortoiliac and likely
infrainguinal arterial occlusive disease . ABIs were 0.7 on the
right and 0.6 on the left. Given overall limited life
expectancy, further work-up for PVD was not pursued.
# Bacteremia: Blood culture on arrival to ED [**2200-11-10**] grew GPCs
in clusters; she was started on vancomycin empirically.
Speciation returned as coag negative staph. It was felt that
this one positive blood culture was most likely contaminant as
pt was afebrile and with downtrending WBC. Subsequent blood
cultures showed no growth. Vancomycin was discontinued after
one day.
#Diarrhea: Two days prior to discharge, pt developed increased
frequency of loose stools. C.diff was negative x 2. She may
find symptomatic relief with anti-diarrheal agents such as
loperamide. She was given conservative IV fluids prn for volume
depletion. She did not have diarrhea on day of discharge.
#Poor po intake: Family was concerned with pt's minimal oral
intake, which had been an ongoing problem prior to admission.
She was seen by swallow therapist who performed a bedside
evaluation and found no risk of aspiration. Although swallow
therapist felt that there were no restrictions on her diet, she
was kept on a soft dysphagia diet because the family requested
it.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 30**]
Chief Complaint:
TCA Overdose, Depression
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None.
History of Present Illness:
This is a 22F with a history of polysubstance abuse and
depression who now presents after an ingestion of pills. The
history was gathered from her father and cousin. [**Name (NI) **] was in
her usual state of health at 7am on morning of admission and
when she reported to family that she had just ingested 14
Doxepin pills. She became nauseated and mentioned she needed to
vomit. She had a change in mental status, becoming confused and
the father carried her into the car and drove her to the
emergency department at [**Hospital6 **]. Initial
vitals were t99.1 111/67 130 14 100 RA. ECG was noted to be
without signs of TCA toxicity and she was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**]
for further evaluation. At [**Hospital1 18**], vitals initially p 110 bp
130/70 28 98 4L. She was noted to be somnolent and was intubated
for airway protection and to get head CT. Toxicology consultant
evaluated the patient in the ED and recommended serial ECGs and
monitoring in MICU.
.
In the MICU ([**2102-6-3**]), the patient was sedated with propofol
20-100 mcg/kg/min IV drip and was unresponsive. On the floor,
initial MICU vitals were 97.1, 121/84, 81, 100% (intubated).
Toxicology screen was positive for cocaine, methadone, and
tricyclics. EKGs were monitored Q1 hr; no abnormalities
including QT or QRS elongation were seen. No intracranial
process was seen on CT, and CXR was within normal limits. She
remained stable overnight. On morning of HD #2, patient was
extubated and EKGs remained WNL. Potassium (2.8) was repleted.
Psychiatry was consulted and diagnosed polysubstance abuse,
major depression (r/o PTSD), and believe that it is still unsafe
for her to be discharged. They started patient on Valium 5 mg
PO tid/prn for anxiety and Seroquel 25-50mg po tid/prn for
agitation; in addition, they recommended a 1:1 sitter. At this
time, she was transferred to SIRS service. On the floor, she
denied any chest pains, shortness of breath, palpatations,
suicidal or homicidal ideations, and reports that she did not
intend to kill herself, but was trying to use them for sleep.
Past Medical History:
-Asthma as a child, and has a home nebulizer which she never
uses. She does not use inhalers

TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
FINDINGS: Evaluation is slightly limited by patient motion
artifact. There
is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect or
infarction.
Ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. There
is no
fracture. Inspissated secretions in the posterior nasopharynx
likely reflect
the patient's intubated status.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process.
CHEST, SINGLE VIEW: An ET tube tip terminates 4.4 cm above the
carina. An NG
tube and sidehole projects below the diaphragm in the left upper
quadrant.
Heart size and cardiomediastinal contours are normal. There is
no focal
airspace opacification. Pulmonary vasculature is normal. No
gross osseous
abnormalities.
IMPRESSION: No acute intrathoracic process. ETT and NGT in
appropriate
position.
Brief Hospital Course:
# TCA overdose: Patient presents with intoxication of doxepin;
toxicology screen was positive for methadone, TCAs, and cocaine.
Patient states that last methadone dose was x2 weeks ago and she
took suboxone x2 days prior to admission. Patient was initially
admitted to the medical ICU where she was intubated to secure
the airway, serial EKGs were done (all showed NSR without
abnormalities), and patient was monitored. On HD #2, patient
was extubated, and was monitored for symptoms of hypotension,
palpatations, chest pain, or any other symptoms of TCA
intoxication. EKGs remained normal throughout MICU course
without arrythmias. She was then transferred to the medicine
services after patient's peak for toxic symptoms were over
(active metabolites 12-24 hours), EKGs remained normal
throughout the course, and she exhibited no symptoms upon
discharge.
.
# Psychiatric Status: Patient was seen by psychiatric in the
MICU for questionable suicidal ideation. The patient denied any
suicidal or homicidal ideation, and repeatedly wanted to go
home. Psychiatry reported that she has polysubstance abuse,
depression, and borderline personality. She was given Valium,
Seroquel, and Ibuprofen PRN for anxiety, agitation, and possible
opiate withdrawal. She had 1:1 sitter throughout her hospital
stay. Upon discharge, she was counseled on depression and an
appointment was made for outpatient psychiatric care near her
home.
.
#Anemia: Patient presented with hematocrit of 31.5 (baseline
unknown), with microcytic features and wide RDW. Iron levels are
low (20) with low TIBC (257), and her low MCV (68) do not
suggest a complete iron deficiency picture. Iron deficiency
alone is unlikely to cause such a microcytosis picture,
therefore her anemia could be secondary to a mixed etiology of
minor thalassemia (microcytosis of 68) and iron deficiency. She
was started on iron supplementation and outpatient care for
follow-up for her anemia.
.
#Elevated WBC and fever: The patient had elevated WBC (20) and
low-grade fever 100.4 in the MICU, but trended down while
admitted to the medicine floor (WBC 12, temp 98.2). She has no
indication of infection as she clinically has no syptoms of
fevers/chills and does not feel overall unwell; in addition, CXR
shows no abnormalities. The most likely etiology was s/p MICU
extubation and stress response.

26.7, platelets 158. She had a Chem-7 with a sodium of 139,
potassium 4.0, chloride 106, bicarbonate 24, BUN 17,
creatinine 0.8, glucose 190. Her prothrombin time 22.3,
partial thromboplastin time 38.4, INR 3.3. LFTs: ALT 9, AST
21, alkaline phosphatase 99, T. Bilirubin 0.9.
EKG: Normal sinus rhythm, normal axis, T wave flattening in
F, T wave inversion in V1, Slight ST depression less than 1
mm in V3. No significant change from [**2175-5-24**].
HOSPITAL COURSE: In the emergency room, the GI Service was
consulted. There was initial concern for a variceal bleed
given her manifestations and her history of cirrhosis. The
patient was electively intubated for airway protection. She
was put on a Nitrate drip for her potential esophageal
varices and her coagulopathy was reversed with 10 mg of subcu
vitamin K, four units of FFP. She was also transfused
initially with two units of packed red blood cells.
She was brought to the Medical Intensive Care Unit for
observation as well as esophagogastroduodinoscopy. The EEG
which was performed on the day of admission, did show varices
of the lower third of the esophagus. These were nonbleeding.
The stomach was normal. In the duodenum there was a large
necrotic ulcer involving the entire bulb extending to the
second portion of the duodenum. This was unable to be passed
due to necrosis and clots. It was felt that this necrotic
mass most likely represented an ulcer which had perforated
posteriorly possibly into the pancreas or into the lesser sac
and that this was likely the source of her bleeding.
At this point in her care, decision point was reached with
regards to the aggressiveness of her care. Her family was
informed that the nature of her ulcer would likely require
surgical intervention and that the prognosis, even if
operated on, was most likely very poor. The patient who had
been a DNR, DNI prior to this hospitalization which was
reversed temporarily for the EGD, elected to pursue comfort
measures only as to the philosophy of her care.
The patient was extubated and transferred out of the Medical
Intensive Care Unit to the Medical floor. Her course on the
floor has been otherwise been unremarkable. The patient has
been under very good pain control now only requiring
sublingual Morphine Sulfate every two hours. She has been
maintained on intravenous Protonix 40 units q. 24 hours. She
is also continuing to receive antibiotics for a concomitant
urinary tract infection.
The Geriatric Service advised giving her two units of packed
red blood cells on the day of admission to the Medical floor
which was carried out. The rest of her course on the Medical
floor has been otherwise unremarkable. Her mental status
actually has improved to some extent while being here and her
pain has been under very tight control.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: The patient is being transferred to
the [**Hospital 100**] Rehab where she will have Hospice care.
The patient will be sent out on the following medications:
1. Protonix 40 mg IV q. 24 hours
2. Levofloxacin 500 mg IV q. 24 times five more days.
3. Morphine Sulfate sublingual 5 mg q. two hours p.r.n. to
be adjusted by Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] at the [**Hospital 100**] Rehab.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 1854**]
Chief Complaint:
mental status change
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
steriotactic brain biopsy
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 59 y/o female who presented today to an
outside hospital after experiencing an increasingly severe
headache for the past 4 days. The patient has had two syncopal
events over the past year (most recent episode in early [**Month (only) 958**]).
The patient had an episode of vomiting 4 days ago and has had
worsening headache since that time. The headache has caused the
patient to remain in bed for most of the day. The patient's
husband notes that the patient has been more somnolent over the
past couple days in addition to some gait unsteadiness. Head CT
at the outside hospital demonstrated a significant right frontal
brain mass associated with mass effect and shift. She was given
10 mg of IV decadron and 1 gram of dilantin at the outside
hospital and was transeferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further management.
Past Medical History:
hypothyroidism, s/p tubal ligation
Social History:
works part-time as a hairdresser
Family History:
no family history of intracranial malignancy
Physical Exam:
A&O x 3. EOMs intact. Face symmetric.
Motor [**4-18**] throughout.
Sensation intact throughout.
Toes downgoing bilaterally.
Pertinent Results:
CT head [**4-15**]:
FINDINGS: Patient is status post stereotactic brain biopsy of
right frontal cystic lesion, and Ommaya shunt device is now seen
in place, with reservoir in the right frontal subcutaneous
tissues, and catheter extending into the lesion, with tip seen
just lateral to the frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the right lateral ventricle.
There is a small amount of expected post-surgical
pneumocephalus. There is a tiny amount of curvilinear density
seen anterior to the frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the right lateral
ventricle, which likely represents a small amount of
post-procedural hemorrhage. There is no sign of new or large
intracranial hemorrhage. Vasogenic edema in the right frontal
lobe is unchanged. 8-mm leftward subfalcine herniation is
largely unchanged. Right uncal herniation is unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Status post stereotactic brain biopsy and placement of Ommaya
shunt in large cystic lesion in the right frontal lobe.
Unchanged vasogenic edema, leftward subfalcine herniation, and
right uncal herniation.
2. Expected post-procedural pneumocephalus. Tiny amount of blood
anterior to right lateral ventricle, but no new large
intracranial hemorrhage.
MRI head [**4-14**]:
FINDINGS: When compared with a prior study, again there is
evidence of a large approximately 4 x 5 cm right frontal cystic
mass lesion associated with vasogenic edema and subfalcine
herniation to the left (approximately 1.2 cm of shifting is
noted). After the administration of gadolinium contrast, there
is evidence of ring-enhancing pattern in this lesion with some
irregular areas and possible septations. On the magnetic
susceptibility, there are low signal areas suggesting
calcifications or blood products. On FLAIR sequence, there is
evidence of some scattered hyperintense foci and possible
transependymal migration of CSF on the left occipital
ventricular [**Doctor Last Name 534**]. There is also evidence of effacement of the
right perimesencephalic cisterns and right uncal herniation.
Normal flow void signal is identified on the vascular
structures. The orbits, the paranasal sinuses appear within
normal limits, patchy hyperintensity signal is identified on the
mastoid air cells bilaterally, more evident on the left.
IMPRESSION: Large cystic mass lesion is identified on the right
frontal lobe with evidence of ring-enhancing pattern at
irregular contour in the base of the lesion with septations and
possible hemorrhagic blood products or calcifications. The
possibility of a primary cystic lesion is a consideration, a
metastatic lesion cannot be completely ruled out.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was started on mannitol and decadron upon admission.
Her neuro status improved slightly after the mannitol was
started. On [**4-15**] she had a steriotactic brain biopsy, drainage of
cystic mass, and placement of Ommaya shunt. Her post-op CT scan
was stable. On [**4-16**] she was transferred to the floor. Due to her
improved mental status, the mannitol was weaned off. The patient
was eating, drinking, and ambulating on her own prior to
discharge. She was sent home on [**2140-4-18**] after her MRI.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 96189**] was taken to the operating room by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] on
[**2103-2-19**] where she underwent a right open thoractomy with right
upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection (see operative report
for full details). She remained intubated postoperatively and
transfered to the ICU. Below is a systems review of her hospital
stay.
Neuro: The patient remained neurologically intact throughout her
stay. Dilaudid IV was used in the immediate postoperative
period, then switched to ibuprofen, tylenol, lidocaine patch and
oxycodone, with prn cyclobenzaprine which was effective in pain
relief.
Pulmonary: The patient was keep intubated postoperatively, and
extubated POD 1. Aggressive pulmonary toilet was continued to
incentive spirometry, ambulation, nebulizers and mucolytics.
Home lasix was continued with spot dosing of IV lasix to
diurese. She had a right chest tube which was discontinued
initially on [**2103-2-24**], however developed increasing pneumothorax,
and subcutaneous air necesitating right pigtail placement with
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of interventional pulmonology on [**2103-2-26**]. Leak
continued, therefore a talc 5gram pleurodiesis was done on
[**2103-3-2**]. The chesttube was kept for 48hours on suction. It was
eventually removed on [**2103-3-6**] after successful clamp trial, with
stable right small pneumothorax on postpull film.
CV: The patient went into atrial fibrillation on POD 1 after
extubation. This resolved initially on home dose of nadolol and
IV diltiazem. After transfer to the floor on [**2103-2-22**] she
developed atrial fibrillation [**2103-2-23**]. At this time IV lopressor
was unsuccessfull, therefore she received IV amiodarone 10g load
with oral amio plus nadolol as recommended by cardiology
thereafter. We did consult cardiology who recommended echo and
the above described antiarrhythmic agents. The patient had afib
on [**2-26**], but converted midday and has maintained SR since with
occasional tachycardia with ECG evidence of SR with PAC's. It
was felt she did not need coumadin, but a full strength aspirin
was started. The patient remained hemodynamically stable
throughout. Her nadolol was cut in half on [**2-27**] after acute renal
insufficiency as described below. Echo was done on [**2103-2-26**] and
essentially normal with normal LVEF. She was set up with Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) **] in a month for followup and weaning off amiodarone.
Abd: Her diet was advanced and tolerated. Stool softeners were
given to prevent constipation.
Renal: Foley was removed POD 1, but replaced for retention, and
dc'd on [**2-24**], with minimal but adequate urine output. She
required IV lasix for volume overload. Daily weights were
followed. Electrolytes were watched and replaced.
On [**2-27**] the patient's creatinine acutely rose to 2.0 then later
2.2. Renal US was performed and normal. NSAIDS were dc'd and
metformin held. Amiodarone was decreased to [**Hospital1 **] and nadolol home
dosing halved to increase renal perfusion pressures. Urine lytes
were done. She was felt to be dry, therefore a liter of fluid
was given. The patient's creatinine was closely watched and two
days later normalized, with auto diuresing.
Endo: Sliding scale insulin was initially given for
hyperglycemia. Her home metformin was restarted with improved
blood sugars in the low 100's. This was held during her renal
insufficiency, and resumed [**2103-3-1**] with improved glucose. Insulin
sliding scale was utilized as well.
ID: The patient remained afebrile, and CBC trends watched. On
[**2-27**] she spiked w WBC count 23, UA was sent and positive, cipro
was started and continued x 3 days. Urine culture was sent and
final was mixed bacteria consistent with fecal contaminant.
After the cipro started her WBC trended downward. The patient
noted that during past colon infections she has never mounted a
fever.
Proph: SCD's and SQ heparin were given for VTE prophylaxis.
Dispo: Physical therapy evaluation was made. The patient was
deemed appropriate for home with PT. She left with a walker for
stabilization. On [**2103-3-6**] the patient was ambulating with
adequate pain control, with room air saturations of 92-94%. The
patient will see Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] on [**3-13**] with a chest xray in clinic.

82 y/o male with PMHx breast CA s/p mastectomy in [**5-/2162**] c/b
right frozen shoulder, squamous cell CA of the penis s/p
resection, glaucoma who is being transferred for concern of
Guillain-[**Location (un) **] syndrome. Per the pt's niece, he was in his
usual state of health until [**7-24**], when he fell while unloading a
piece of furniture from his car. Per OSH notes, he did not lose
conciousness nor complain of any cardiac prodrome - he felt this
was a mechanical fall. He was too weak to get up on his own and
was on the ground for ~2 hours prior to being found by his
neighbor. [**Name (NI) **] was taken to [**Hospital3 **] and admitted to a
telemetry unit. He was noted to have elevated CK, which peaked
at 3320, then trended down with IVF. Cardiology was consulted
but felt this was a mechanical fall and had planned to obtain an
echocardiogram. On [**7-25**], the patient was noted to have
increased weakness and progressed to a feeling of an inability
to move his extremities on [**7-26**]. Shortly after this, he became
bradycardic and hypotensive and went into respiratory failure.
He was intubated, had CPR performed, then was transferred to the
CCU. He was intermittently on pressors and was felt to have
developed an aspiration pneumonia. He was initially on
clindamycin, then broadened to vancomycin and cefepime. His O2
requirement improved and there were plans to extubate him on
[**7-28**], however a NIF was noted to be -10 and the patient was noted
to have complete paralysis of bilateral extremities. CT was
negative, neuro consulted and felt he may have an ascending
paralysis such as GBS and recommended transfer to a tertiary
care facility.
.
In the ICU, the patient is intubated. He is able to shake his
head yes and no to questions.

CXR ([**7-28**]):
MR [**Name13 (STitle) **] ([**8-24**]: FINDINGS: There is exaggerated lordosis of the
cervical spine. There is
minimal retrolisthesis of C4 over C5 vertebra by 4 mm. The
vertebral bodies
are normal in height and marrow signal intensity. There is no
evidence of
acute fracture.
Prevertebral soft tissue is noted from C1 to C5 level.
Hyperintensity is noted in posterior paraspinal muscles and soft
tissues from
C1 to C6 levels. A small hypointense area is noted in right
paraspinal
muscles at the C7-T1 level measuring 1.8 x 1.4 x 1.7 cm in
craniocaudad, AP,
and transverse dimensions. This likely represents calcification.
There is multilevel disc degenerative disease. There is
desiccation of all
cervical intervertebral discs.
At C2-C3 level, there is no significant spinal canal or neural
foraminal
narrowing.
At C3-C4 level, there is a broad-based posterior disc protrusion
causing
indentation and compression of spinal cord. There is severe
spinal canal
stenosis. The disc with uncovertebral and facet osteophytes
causes moderate
bilateral foraminal stenosis.
At C4-C5, there is posterior disc protrusion causing indentation
and
compression of the spinal cord and severe spinal canal
narrowing. The disc
with uncovertebral and facet osteophytes causes moderate right
and mild left
foraminal narrowing.
At C5-C6, there is diffuse posterior disc bulge causing
indentation of the
anterior subarachnoid space. There is no evidence of significant
spinal canal
or neural foraminal narrowing.
At C6-C7 level, there is diffuse posterior disc bulge without
significant
spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing.
Hyperintense signal is noted in cervical spinal cord from C2 to
C7 level.
This likely represents combination of compressive edema and
contusion
secondary to fall.
Brief Hospital Course:
82 y/o male with PMHx breast CA s/p mastectomy in [**5-/2162**] c/b
right frozen shoulder, squamous cell CA of the penis s/p
resection, glaucoma with neurologic signs concerning for
cervical spine injury vs GBS vs myositis.
.
# Weakness/paralysis - Concerning for cervical spine injury (may
have occurred during intubation) vs ascending paralysis such as
GBS vs myositis/myopathy given elevated CK on admission.
Patient has no clear history of prodromal illness for GBS, but
this is not necessary for the diagnosis. CK trending down
without any intervention for myositis making it less likely. MR
[**Name13 (STitle) 2853**] performed early [**7-29**] showed chronic DJD of C-spine with
significant narrowing of spinal canal, compression of spinal
cord, and associated edema from C3-T1. Spine surgery was
consulted and felt that the paralaysis is secondary to spinal
cord compression with poor prognosis if patient taken to the OR
and very low probability of recovery of any function. Spine
surgery had a discussion with family who chose to pursue
surgical repair.
.
# Hypoxemic respiratory failure - [**1-27**] diaphragmatic weakness and
pneumonia/mucus plugging. CXR on presentation showed complete
whiteout of left lung - bronchoscopy the evening of [**7-28**] showed
copious amounts of mucus plugging that was suctioned out. Post
bronch, has been able to be weaned to 60% FiO2. A repeat CXR on
[**7-29**] showed substantial improvement, with possible consolidation
in the LLL. Due to neuromuscular dysfunction, he was continued
on ventilation.
.
# HCAP - Signs of LLL PNA seen on bronchoscopy with edematous,
red airways. Was thought to have aspirated at OSH and covered
with vanco/cefepime. Has been in hospital > 48 hours so needs
to be covered for HCAP. Plan to continue coverage and request
sputum culture results from OSH.
.
# Thrombocytopenia - Platelets of 114 on [**7-28**], down from 147 on
admission to OSH. No signs of spontaneous bleeding at this
time. Differential includes med effect vs decreased production.
.
# Anemia - Mild normocytic anemia. On admission Hgb was 14.7.
[**Month (only) 116**] be [**1-27**] dilution vs decreased production vs bleed (although
no evidence). Plan to follow CBC.
.
# Elevated AST/ALT - mildly elevated, other LFTs are normal
including bili. [**Month (only) 116**] be related to periods of hypotension. Plan
to trend LFTs.
.
# Bradycardia - Bradycardic at OSH, has been stable here. [**Month (only) 116**]
be secondary to [**Last Name (un) 4584**]-[**Location (un) **] or other neuro problem affecting
autonomic nervous system. Presumably, was ruled out for MI
after this happened but unknown if this did happen. EKG shows
no evidence of infarct. Echo planned for [**7-29**], may be deferred
given emergent surgical intervention.
.
# Elevated CK - Likely secondary to rhabdo from fall, CK's have
been trending down without acute intervention and renal function
is stable.
.
# FEN: IVF as needed, replete electrolytes, NPO for now
# Prophylaxis: Pneumoboots and subQ heparin

In the evening of [**2162-7-30**], after discussion with patient and
family members, the patient's code status was changed to Comfort
Measures Only. His pain was controlled with IV morphine. At
1030pm, the patient was noted to have no respiratory drive, no
pulse and no heart/lung sounds. The on call resident was called
to evaluate the patient, and the patient was pronounced dead at
1040pm on [**2162-7-30**].

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Explosive diarrhea.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old
female with a past medical history significant for coronary
artery disease, atrial fibrillation (on Coumadin), and
congestive heart failure who now presents with severe
explosive diarrhea.
The patient was recently hospitalized at the [**Hospital1 346**] and was discharged on [**2103-5-24**]; the same day that she re-presented to the Emergency
Room with explosive diarrhea.
During her prior hospitalization, she was noted to have a
pneumonia and was started on antibiotic therapy. She was
discharged on levofloxacin. She was reportedly discharged in
good condition; however, during the ambulance ride to the
nursing home she developed explosive diarrhea and became
tachycardic. Upon arrival to the nursing home she was
redirected to the [**Hospital1 69**] for
further management.
In the Emergency Department, she was noted to be tachycardic
to 140 and dehydrated. She was treated with one liter of
intravenous fluids and 5 mg of intravenously Lopressor times
two. She was also started on Flagyl for empiric coverage of
Clostridium difficile. A chest x-ray was obtained and
revealed stable cardiomegaly with a tortuous and calcified
aorta. She was noted to have upper zone redistribution of
the pulmonary vasculature. This was consistent with
congestive heart failure. There were also bibasilar
effusions and consolidation at the left lung base. An
underlying pneumonia could not be excluded. The overall
impression was that this chest x-ray revealed improvement of
her underlying congestive heart failure.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Atrial fibrillation.
2. Coronary artery disease; status post non-ST-elevation
segment myocardial infarction.
3. History of peptic ulcer disease.
4. Status post cataract surgery.
5. History of gastrointestinal bleed.
6. History of carotid stenosis.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Aspirin 325 mg by mouth once per day.
2. Atorvastatin 10 mg by mouth once per day.
3. Ipratropium nebulizers as needed.
4. Levofloxacin 250 mg by mouth q.24h.
5. Metoprolol 50 mg by mouth three times per day.
6. Sublingual nitroglycerin.
7. Pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth once per day.
8. Psyllium by mouth as needed.
9. Warfarin 3 mg by mouth at hour of sleep.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient denies a history of tobacco.
The patient does not consume alcohol. No history of
intravenous drug use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: The patient's
temperature was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, her blood pressure
was 138/72, her heart rate was 93, her respiratory rate was
90, and she was saturating 94% on room air. In general, the
patient was an elderly female sitting comfortably in bed in
no apparent distress. Head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat
examination revealed the extraocular movements were intact.
The pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. The
mucous membranes were dry. Neck revealed jugular venous
distention approximately 9 cm. There was no lymphadenopathy
appreciated on examination. Pulmonary examination revealed
diffuse crackles throughout and mild expiratory wheezes.
Cardiovascular examination revealed an irregularly irregular
rhythm. Normal first heart sounds and second heart sounds.
The abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. There
were normal active bowel sounds. Extremities revealed no
clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. There was no calf tenderness.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE: In the setting of
explosive diarrhea and tachycardic, it was felt that the
patient was mildly volume depleted. In addition, she had dry
mucous membranes.
She was resuscitated with approximately one liter of normal
saline. It was also felt that due to her recent antibiotic
therapy for pneumonia, a likely etiology of her diarrhea
could be Clostridium difficile. She was started on empiric
antibiotics with Flagyl. She reported subjective improvement
with intravenous hydration; however, she remained
tachycardic. She was then given 5 mg of intravenous
Lopressor times two 15 minutes apart. Her heart rate
stabilized to the middle 90s; which was down from 160 to 140.
The following day a cardiac echocardiogram was obtained which
showed mild left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity size was normal and the left ventricular
ejection fraction was greater than 55%. There was mild
aortic valve stenosis and trace aortic regurgitation. There
was 1 to 2+ mitral regurgitation. There was moderate
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
An electrocardiogram was also obtained which demonstrated
atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. There
was mild left axis deviation. There were some nonspecific
extensive ST segment changes.
Cardiac enzymes were cycled. The patient was noted to have
an elevated troponin. However, this was believed to be
secondary to her non-ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction which she reportedly had during her [**Hospital Ward Name 332**]
Intensive Care Unit stay. Her creatine kinase and CK/MB
remained within normal limits during her hospitalization.
The patient continued to support subjective improvement. She
was not discharged back to the nursing home, however, because
her white blood cell count remained elevated. At the time of
this dictation, the Clostridium difficile toxin assay was
still pending. The plan was to discharge the patient if her
white blood cell count improved on Flagyl therapy and if the
Clostridium difficile toxin assay was positive.

HPI: 74yoF with PMH of tobacco use and glaucoma (no regular
medical care with last PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) **] 6 years ago) who developed
fever and body aches [**2136-2-1**] and progressively worsening
confusion since then presented to her PCP's office today with
complaints of generalized malaise and feeling unwell. She
specifically complained of inability to sleep and requested
sleep medication however also endorsed generalized weakness and
perhaps some dizziness. Her PCP referred her to [**Hospital **]
Hospital ED given her symptoms and she reportedly looked
"overall unwell". She (and family) report that her symptoms
began on [**2136-2-1**] at which time she developed "body aches" and
subjective fevers/chills. She also had a very mild dry cough.
Her daughter reports progressive confusion mainly over the past
few days. She has also had poor PO intake (food and fluid) [**3-10**]
poor appetite. She denies sore throat, runny nose,
N/V/diarrhea/abdominal pain, dysuria/hematuria. She further
denies night sweats, signifiant weight loss. She also denies
HA, changes in vision, neck stiffness.
.
At the OSH ED, noted peripheral blood WBC >60K with a reported
"left shift". RUL infiltrate was noted on CXR and she received
1 dose levofloxacin IV. ABG initially showed pCO2=59 however
she became increasingly lethargic and repeat ABG showed pCO2=78.
She was simultaneously noted to be hypoxemic (paO2 not clear),
but SaO2 70% on NRB prior to intubation. She was intubated and
was noted to be hypotensive with nadir 65/40 (? post sedation

RELEVANT IMAGING
Echo [**3-2**]:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal
(LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall
motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. No definite aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. There is severe mitral annular calcification. There is
mild functional mitral stenosis (mean gradient 7 mmHg) due to
mitral annular calcification. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral
regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.] The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary
artery systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no
pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2136-2-10**], the
findings are similar.
.
[**3-1**] CT sinuses
IMPRESSION:
1. Improvement of the mucosal thickening in the paranasal
sinuses as described above. Resolution of the fluid within the
middle ear cavities bilaterally.
2. Persistent partial opacification of mastoid air cells
bilaterally.
.
[**2-29**]
chest CT
IMPRESSION:
1) Persisting multifocal consolidation, not significantly
changed.
2) Interval development of underlying pulmonary edema with
increasing, now moderate, bilateral pleural effusions.
3) Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes likely reactive to the
underlying infectious process and/or CHF.
4) Lobulated, hypodense hepatic dome lesion, likely a cyst.
5) Left adrenal mass with Hounsfield Units between 5 and 15,
most likely an adenoma.
.
[**2-17**]-CT orbit, sella, IAC
IMPRESSION:
1. Paranasal sinus opacification as described above.
2. Soft/fluid density within the bilateral mastoid air cells and
right middle ear cavity without bony erosions or other
destructive changes. Findings may represent effusions of the
mastoid air cells and right middle ear cavity, versus
otomastoiditis.
3. 7-mm well-circumscribed lytic area within the left occipital
lobe, likely an arachnoid granulation. If there is clinical
concern or previous history of malignancy, a bone scan could be
considered for further characterization.
.
[**2136-2-11**]
CT Torso
1. Extensive bilateral pulmonary consolidations that are most
consistent with pneumonia.
2. Small bilateral pleural effusions.

echo [**2136-2-10**]
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 10-20mmHg. There is mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is unusually small.
Left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (EF 70-80%).
There is no ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. The ascending aorta is
mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. There is severe
mitral annular calcification. There is mild valvular mitral
stenosis (area 1.5-2.0cm2). Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral
regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.] The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate [2+]
tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] MICU. 74F h/o tobacco use,
glaucoma (no past regular medical care) developed fever and body
aches [**2136-2-1**], with progressively worsening confusion since
then, presented to OSH ED and was found to have WBC 60+, RUL and
hypotension requiring pressors, intubated and was transferred
for further management of septic shock [**3-10**] pneumococcal RUL PNA.
Now with resolved WBC but continued respiratory failure and
ventilator dependancy; Now s/p Trach/PEG. Also now with new
growth of mold out of [**2-26**] sputum culture, and staph coag (-)
off the CVL tip on [**2-28**], completed treatment for pneumococcal
pneumonia, as well as herpes lung infection, still being treated
for mold in sputum-aspergillus infection.
.
Problems:
.
RESPIRATORY FAILURE:
She presented with a hypercarbic and hypoxic respiratory failure
with an acute on chronic respiratory acidosis secondary to
pneumonia which developed into ARDS. A chest CT showed
multifocal pneumonia, sputum culture showed penicillin resistant
strep pneumonia. Empirical Vancomycin and Flagyl were
discontinued, and levofloxacin and zosyn were continued for a
completed course.
There was also a component of underlying COPD exacerbation for
which she was on albuterol and atrovent. Diuresis was initiated
for a component of volume overload that was felt to be present.
However she was allowed to self diurese after she became
euvolemic. She was also found to have a herpetic pulmonary
infection (tracheobronchitis). BAL washings ([**2-14**])confirmed
HSV-positive herpetic lesions in trachea. Acyclovir was started
[**2-21**], ending [**3-6**] (2 week course); liver (AST 13. ALT 17), renal
function were monitored.
She had previously had aspergillus in her sputum but negative
beta-glucan and galactomannan. Whether this was a pathogen or a
contaminant was not clear. She was started voriconazole [**2-29**],
CT sinus and CT chest did not show invasive disease. She should
continue on this for two weeks and have LFTs monitored weekly.
She should also have a follow up sputum for KOH and fungal
culture in [**3-12**] weeks after stopping voriconazole.
.
Vent settings at d/c
ventilator settings:
CPAP 46% FiO2
PEEP 5
Pt averaging tidal volumes of 20
respiratory rate 30
.
She was in chronic respiratory failure and did not tolerate
weaning of vent given need for high PEEP & FIO2. Thus, she had
a tracheostomy placed and is now being slowly weaning from vent.
Trach: Dead space:tidal volume 78%. She needs PRN decreases in
FiO2, PEEP.
.
HYPOTENSION: On admission she had leukocytosis WBC 60, fever,
tachycardia c/w SIRS and since she had pneumonia and hypotension
she was in spetic shock. She was requiring Norepinephrine. In
the presence of a murmur on exam subacute bacterial endocarditis
was felt to be a possible etiology, thus an echo was done that
was negative for vegetations, Normal LVEF >55%, +1MR. Her
random cortisol was 59, with an appropriate decrease with
cortisol challenge. As there were no ischemic changes in
continguous leads cardiogenic etiology was not felt to be
likely. On [**2-12**] she was weaned successfully off pressor support.
She occasionally required small boluses for occasional
decreases in blood pressure and to aid urine output.
.
ACUTE RENAL FAILURE: She had no known CRI by history (although
no consistent medical care for several years). BUN/creatinine
ratio suggestive of prerenal etiology, improved to nml range
after IVFs. Admission BUN=63, Cr=1.3, Discharge BUN=23, Cr=0.5.
.
ILEUS: She had increasing abdominal distention with no BM. KUB
done on [**2-10**] c/w ileus. Abd CT demonstrated ascites but no SBO.
She was on a bowel regimen and TF with appropriate holding for
residuals were done. This resolved [**2-13**].
.
ALTERED MENTAL STATUS: She had ARDS, infection, but also heavy
sedation while intubated. On [**3-4**], decreased scheduled diazepam
with goal for autotaper, and decreased fentanyl patch to 12.5mg.
On [**3-5**] the patient was found to be awakening, able to
communicate somewhat with family and staff. Diazepam was
discontinued [**3-6**] and ativan 1mg Q6h:PRN was started.
.
ANEMIA: She had a slowly decreasing Hct. She was guiaic
negative and did not have any gross bleeding. Likely secondary
to blood draws, hemolysis labs were negative, should continue to
monitor. Admit HCT was 32. Discharge HCT was 26, this was stable
for 3 days prior to discharge. During admission patient was
transfused 1 unit of packed RBCs w/o complications.
.
RIGHT OTITIS MEDIA: ENT irrigated ear, no evidence of otitis
externa, likely otitis media s/p perforation or drained fluid
collection behind cerumen collection. Recieved
ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone drops 5 drops TID in ear for 10
days.
Started first full day [**2-18**], ended [**2-28**]. Now resolved.
.
NUTRITION: PEG was placed at the time of tracheostopy. Tube
feed recs. tube feeds-Nutren Pulmonary Full strength;
Additives:Beneprotein, 10 gm/day

Shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Placement of left sided chest tube
Placement of left sided pleuridex catheter
History of Present Illness:
77F with NSCLC (LUL involvement, lymphangitis spread, pleural
involvement, recurrent L pleural effusion though not pleurodesis
candidate, brain mets) s/p cycle #2 paclitaxal/[**Doctor Last Name **] ([**11-24**]),
presenting with dyspnea (RR=35) and hypoxia (81%RA). Pleural
effusion last drained about 1.5wks PTA. Admision CXR showeed L
white out and mediastinal/tracheal shift. ED unable to localize
fluid with US for tap. Pt needed CT scan, but unable to lie
flat, so she was intubated. Post intubation pt had immediate
blood pressure drop responsive to fluids (2 liters), then
continuing to have intermittent hypotension requiring bolusing
despite minimum sedation and required norepinephrine x2days
intermittently. Pt had equivocal cortasyn stimtest to 18.1 but
started on stress dose steroid along with fludricorsone for low
Na. Pt also transfused 4U PRBCs for hct of 25 with inapropriate
rise to 30 although blood loss was thought to be lost in
serosanguinous CT drainage and Hct stable for last 24h. On
admission to MICU pt started on Cefepime, Vancomycin and
Gentamycin due to fever and ANC of 340 and suspected sepsis,
which was weaned to only vancomycin on [**12-8**] due to positive Bld
Cx for coag neg staph [**1-31**] on [**12-5**]. Pt given GCSF with good
effect and ANC up to 1800 yesterday. Admission CT also showed
small subsegmental RLL PE but anticoagulation held due to brain
mets. CT also showed enormous Left sided effusion with two fluid
levels suggestive of hemothorax, mass effect w/ shift of
mediastinum to Right. In face of tenuous BP + possible
hemothorax, CT [**Doctor First Name **] placed Left Chest Tube for volume drainage
(2100cc removed). Due to continued large amount of drainage she
was planned for pleuradesis with doxycyline which was performed
[**2168-12-9**] with plan for repeat tomorrow.

[**12-18**] CXR There is an increasing hydropneumothorax in the left
hemithorax since [**2168-12-14**]. The right lung is clear. The right IJ
line has been removed.
[**12-13**] Chest CT 1) Interval placement of left-sided chest tube
with decrease in large left- sided pleural effusion with shift
of the mediastinum back to the left. Small pneumothorax with
loculated hydropneumothorax.
2) Partial re-expansion of the left lung with patchy opacities.
These likely represent areas of atelectasis.
3) Scattered nodules within the right lobe and spiculated mass
within the left upper lobe appears stable in short interval.
4) Right renal mass, left adrenal mass and osseous lesions again
identified
Brief Hospital Course:
Pleural Effusion-Pt with known longstanding left sided malignant
effusion. CT placed in the ED as per HPI and pt intubated due to
inability to lay flat for CT to evaluate effusion but was
quickly weaned. Pt had doxycyline Pleurodesis on [**12-9**] and 14
and CTube removed [**12-13**] due to pt discomfort and continued low
grade fevers. She continued to have dullness at her left base
with complete whiteout of L hemithorax except for area of
pneumothorax on follow-up CXR, so IP saw pt and placed pleuridex
[**12-18**] and drained 500cc serous fluid with plan for weekly
pleurocentesis in pulmonary clinic. She was breathing
comfortably and had O2Sats of 94% on room air upon discharge.
Pancytopenia-Due to recent chemotherapy with
paclitaxol/carboplatin although counts responded briskly to GCSF
except for platelets. She was initially treated as neutropenia
and sepsis due to hypotension and fever with Vancomycin,
gentamycin, cefepime which were discontinued on transfer to the
floor since no culture data was positive. Pt has history of
thrombocytopenia, and platelet count was slowly declining. We
started procrit and followed CBC daily. HitAb neg but held on
heparin for HIT I. DIC panel negative. There were no known
offending meds but did change ranitidine for protonix since it
was only suspected med.
Hypotension-Pt had acute episode of hypotension with intial
intubation which responded well to aggressive fluid boluses. Pt
had corasyn stim test to rule out adrenal insuffuciency which
was equivocal at 18, so she was started on stress dose steroids.
She was also placed on fludricorisone due to an elevated
potassium and low sodium. Pt remained normotensive upon transfer
to the floor on [**12-10**] and weaned off of steroids since there was
no suspected reason for acute adrenal insufficiency. BP and
lytes remained stable for the remaineder of her hospitalization
except for mild hypernatremia that responded well to
encouragement of free water intake.
SVT-Pt with new afib per attg. Pt with LAA in previous ECG most
likely due to longstanding HTN. Acute hypotension and stressed
state may have contributed. No anticoagulation since it was
thought to be transient.
PE-Pt with known subsegmental PE on admission CT. Pt with
appropriate sats on room air. SC heparin stopped for HIT
possiblity and didn't anticoagulate initially due to brain mets
although attending considering anticoagulation. No role for
repeat CTPA since she has known PE.
Oral thrush-Due to steroid use. Improving on clotrimazole
lozenges now that steriods stopped.
NSCLC-Pt receiving chemo prior to admission and effusion is not
reason to stop treatment. Will restart chemo if Plat ct >100 per
attg likely Iressa. Chest CT shows no interval change in size of
pulmonary nodules post chemo.
DM-Pt had poorly controlled blood sugars while on steroids, but
were controlled to <150 when steroids weaned. She was initially
on RISS but this was discontinued with steroid taper.
Pain-Patient had pain at CTube site initially which was well
controlled with oxycontin 10mg q12hours. Percocet prn was added
with increasing pain after placement of tunneled pleuridex but
plan is to wean as tolerated.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 4643**] was transferred from OSH after cardiac cath revealed
left main and multi-vessel disease. As well as echo showing 3+
mitral regurgitation. Upon admission he was appropriately
medically managed and worked-up for surgery. On [**10-10**] he was
brought to the operating room where he underwent a coronary
artery bypass graft x 4 and mitral valve repair. Please see
operative report for surgical detail. Following surgery he was
transferred to the CVICU for invasive management in stable
condition. Within 24 hours he was weaned from sedation, awoke
neurologically intact and extubated. On post-op day one his
chest tubes were removed. All drips were weaned off on post-op
day one and on post-op day two he was transferred to the
telemetry floor for further care. Beta blockers and diuretics
were initiated and he was gently diuresed towards his pre-op
weight. On post-op day three his epicardial pacing wires were
removed. The remainder of his postoperative course was
essentially uneventful. He was transfused a total of 2 units
PRBCs postoperatively for anemia. He continued to progress and
on POD#5 was discharged to home with VNA. He was instructed on
all necessary follow up appointments.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr [**Known lastname **] was admitted on [**2200-11-16**] after being found unconscious
in his home for an unknown duration of time (likely >12hrs). The
patient was brought to an OSH and found to have a potassium of
6.9, creatinine 3.8, CK >20,000. The orthopedic service was
consulted at OSH and compartment pressures were measured and
found to be elevated. Pt received Kayexalate 90mg and 3 doses of
10mg insulin w/ amps of D50 for hyperkalemia and was reportedly
given 8L crystalloid (NS). He was then transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for
further workup and management.
ICU course:
On admission to the trauma ICU, a left sided IJ dialysis
catheter was placed for temporary dialysis access. He was taken
to the operating room by orthopedics for bilateral decompressive
fasciotomies of b/l gluteal and thigh compartments. VAC
dressings were placed. Postoperatively he received 4 U of PRBC
for dropping HCT in setting of copious VAC output, hypotension,
tachycardia with good results. He was dialyzed on HD1.
On HD2 he was taken back to OR for washout, debridement and VAC
change. He was successfully extubated later that day. Per
nephrology recommendations the patient did not undergo
hemodialysis on HD2. He remained oliguric. The patient was
transfused and additional unit of PRBC for falling HCT during
the day (22 from 28 preop). He was started on a Dilaudid PCA for
pain control. He received 2 U of PRBC overnight since the
response to the first unit had not been adequate. His HCT was
again 22.4 and 2 additional U of PRBC were given on HD3.
On HD4 he was taken back to the operating room by Ortho for
washout and closure of the RLE wound and VAC re-placement in the
[**Hospital1 **]. Postoperatively he remained intubated for acute
desaturation and was hypoxemia. A CXR showed bilateral pleural
effusions, greater on the right. A bronchoscopy was also
performed.
On HD5 the patient was able to be extubated and CXR showed
slight improvement in b/l pleural effusions. The patient
received HD. His HCT remained stable at 23.2. The patient was
deemed ready for transfer to the regular surgical floor.
Floor course:
Upon transfer out of the ICU he continued to progress slowly.
His acute kidney injury continued to warrant close monitoring
and hemodialysis treatments 3-4x/week. His BUN/Cr were followed
closely remaining quite elevated until [**12-4**] when it was down to
5.6 after peaking at 10.3 on [**11-24**]. His temporary dialysis line
was removed due to fever and elevated white blood. Once his
fevers defervesced a right tunneled catheter for dialysis was
placed without any complications. He has received several
treatments since that time with most recent on [**2200-12-3**] where his
pre-dialysis creatinine was 8.8 and as noted previously on [**12-4**]
was 5.6 and he is making urine (total of 300 cc's for 24 hours
on [**12-3**]). His electrolytes in general were abnormal due to his
[**Last Name (un) **] and have begun to show signs of return to normal. It is
expected that he will only require hemodialysis for another 1
possibly 2 weeks if he continues to show signs of improving
kidney function.
It should also be noted that he has received several rounds of
blood transfusions for falling HCT with lowest value of 17.9 on
[**2200-11-25**]. His HCT's since that time have ranged between 23-24.
For a very short period he was given weekly Epogen but this was
stopped per recommendations of Renal on [**2200-12-3**].
On [**2200-11-27**] he was taken back to the operating room by
orthoepdics for irrigation and debridement down to and inclusive
of muscle of 40 x 10 cm wound for a total of 400 sq cm, and
staged primary closure. There were no complications.
His staples were removed by Orthopedics on [**12-3**] and he will
follow up in [**2-27**] weeks in their outpatient clinic. In the
meantime he is receiving DVT prophylaxis with Heparin SQ,
orthopedics is asking that once he is discharged from rehab that
he be started on Aspirin 325 mg daily for a total 2 weeks.
He is also being treated for a wound cellulitis per
recomendations by ortho - total 7 day course. It is important
that on his HD days that he receives this medication after
dialysis treatment.
He was followed by Physical and Occupational therapy and has
been recommended for acute rhab after his hospital stay.

3. Hx of bronchitis
4. Hx L ankle fracture; other bone fractures
5. BPH
6. Pulmonary embolism [**10/2145**], cancer and IVIG related.
7. right 5th toe fracture ~[**2146-6-20**].
ONCOLOGIC HISTORY:
[**2144-7-18**]: Presented with rash over forearms and torso.
[**2144-8-18**]: Later developed muscle weakness. Saw dermatologist, Dr
[**Last Name (STitle) 16077**] - biopsy positive for dermatomyositis. Started on
prednisone 60 mg daily with good improvement of his rash and
weakness. He was also referred to a rheumatologist and
neurologist for further evaluation. Dysphagia symptoms also
apparent, evaluated by a speech and swallow therapist at [**Hospital1 18**].
[**2144-10-18**]: Radiographical workup - CT scanning showed a prominent
right hilar node and a lesion in the liver. Liver lesion by MRI
on [**2144-11-9**] at [**Hospital6 1109**] was equivocal.
[**2144-11-23**]: PETCT scan performed at [**Hospital1 **] showed abnormal
uptake in the right paratracheal lymph node, right hilum, liver
nodule in the mid portion of the right lobe, also a region of
the gallbladder.
[**2144-11-17**]: [**2144-11-26**]- an ultrasound guided liver biopsy was
performed at [**Hospital1 **]; lesion consistent with small cell lung
cancer. Staining shows positivity for synaptophysin, TTF-1, with
weak positivity for CK 7 and chromogranin (Pathologist Dr
[**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 83828**]). Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] from neurology ordered anti-[**Doctor Last Name **]
and anti-striate muscle antibody which are positive, done on
[**2144-12-7**]. (Anti-[**Doctor Last Name **] positive by immunofluorescence, but was not
positive by Western blot). A head MRI was performed on [**12-16**]
and showed no evidence of intracranial malignancy.
[**2144-12-18**]: Started chemotherapy
[**2145-3-18**]: Complete chemotherapy
[**2145-6-17**]: Dermatomyositis flare; subsequently given course of
steroids, IVIG, methotrexate. Interval CT scans do not show
obvious evidence of cancer progression.
[**2145-10-18**]: Pulmonary Embolism [**2145-11-7**], started on Lovenox
[**2145-11-17**]: hematochezia thought to be inflammatory colitis,
resolved with rectal steroids
[**2145-12-18**]: Dermatomyositis (DM) flare with fevers and ulcerative
lesions; CT on [**2146-1-7**] shows no progression of cancer
[**2146-2-15**]: Fevers, DM continue; lovenox implicated as one of
causes of fevers; fondiparinux substituted for lovenox. Hi dose
IV steroids used to control DM sx.
[**2146-3-18**]: Fevers abated with use of fondiparinux. PETCT suggests
inflammatory changes rather than overt SCLC recurrence.
[**2146-5-18**]: Recurrent disease seen mainly in liver on PETCT
[**2146-6-6**].
TREATMENT HISTORY:
FIRST LINE REGIMEN: carboplatin (5 AUC on day 1) and

CTA Pulmonary [**2147-10-3**]: Acute pulmonary emboli to the right
main, upper, middle and lower lobar pulmonary arteries. Small
focus of thrombus in the distal left main pulmonary artery.
Focal consolidation in the right lower lobe may represent
pulmonary infarct or pneumonia.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 7168**] is a 63-year-old gentleman with stage IV small cell
lung cancer s/p carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan C4 with
metastases to brain and liver, now presenting with complaint of
profuse diarrhea, shortness of breath, and fluid-responsive
hypotension in the setting of a newly diagnosed large pulmonary
embolism and [**Last Name (un) **].
# PULMONARY EMBOLISM: In setting of active malignancy.
Patient was initially started on a heparin gtt then subsequently
transitioned to fondaparinux and coumadin (allergy to lovenox).
Discharged when INR was 2.1 (given fondaparinux on day of
discharge so technically bridged for 24 hours). Patient was
written for coumadin 5mg QD but switched to 4mg QD on discharge
given steep rise of INR. Did not have oxygen requirement on
discharge. Mr. [**Known lastname 7168**] should likely remain on coumadin
indefinitely. He will follow-up with PCP for INR check (this
was confirmed with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 391**] [**Name (STitle) **] on day of discharge).
Patient will have blood drawn for INR checks by VNA).
# ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY WITH HYPOTENSION: Prerenal etiology.
Creatnine normalized with fluids.
# DIARRHEA: Likely irinotecan related. Resolved. Stool studies
negative.
# CONSTIPATION: Although initially admitted with diarrhea,
patient subsequently developed consipation. He moved his bowels
on day of discharge after receiving an aggressive bowel regimen.
He will be discharged on stool softeners and laxatives to use
as needed.
# PAIN MANAGEMENT: Patient denied pain during this admission,
and said that he was not taking oxycontin at home. This
medication was stopped on discharge (as it wasn't needed), but
can be resumed at patient's and PCP's discretion. He can
continue percocet as needed.
# SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER: Metastatic disease to brain and liver,
now s/p C4 irinotecan and s/p carboplatin and etoposide. Last
chemotherapy dosing on [**2147-9-19**]. Mr. [**Known lastname 7168**] will have close
follow-up with his outpatient heme/onc providers.
# DERMATOMYOSITIS (paraneoplastic syndrome): Long-standing,
complicated issues that even pre-dates his cancer diagnosis. No
acute issues during this hospitalization. Patient was continued
on cellcept at 1500 [**Hospital1 **].
# ANEMIA: Likely secondary to chemotherapy. Patient's hct
trended down during admission and he was given 1 unit of blood
on [**2147-10-5**] to increase his reserve. He has no evidence of
bleeding and likely his hct was concentrated at time of
admission.
# CODE: FULL, confirmed, would not want prolonged care
# DISPOSITION: Home with VNA.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 7168**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your admission to
[**Hospital1 18**]. You came in for progressive shortness of breath and
diarrhea and were ultimately found to have a new lung blood
clot. You were started on blood thinners (initially a heparin
drip and then a daily shot of fondaparinux), and you will be
discharged on a medication called warfarin. You will need to
have your INRs (measure of how thin your blood is) checked on a
regular basis. This will be done at your hematology/oncology
appointment on [**10-10**] as well as by your primary care doctor.
Your diarrhea was likely due to the chemotherapy irinotecan, and
this issue resolved. You subsequently had constipation but you
did move your bowels before you were discharged.
You will have follow up with your oncologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] soon
after your discharge and determine the next steps of cancer
management.
PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Warfarin check at hematology/oncology appointment on [**10-10**].
2. Stop anti-diarrheals
3. Stop oxycontin as your pain is well-controlled without it

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 64 year old man
with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco use who
presented at [**Hospital6 **] with chest, jaw, and
arm pain. He has had intermittent chest pain x2 months and
it has been associated with nausea and vomiting for the past
3 days. Chest pain has relieved with sublingual
Nitroglycerin. On the day of presentation to [**Hospital6 31672**], he took several subinguinal Nitroglycerin
tablets prior to presenting to the ER. When he arrived, his
chest pain had resolved. He was admitted to the CCU at
[**Hospital1 **] and he underwent cardiac catheterization which
revealed a left main 20% distal stenosis, LAD with 80-90%
proximal ulcerated stenosis, ramus with a 99% stenosis, left
circumflex with 70% ostial stenosis, an OM with a 90%
proximal tubular stenosis and an RCA with a 60-65% ulcerated
stenosis. His EF is 30% with septal and apical hypokinesis.
Patient had ST depressions in leads II, III and V2 through 6
which improved after treatment with IV Nitroglycerin. His
troponin at [**Hospital1 **] was 1.4 with a CK of 353 and an MB of
4.3. Following his cardiac catheterization, he was put on
Integrilin and Heparin and was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for
surgical evaluation.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Patient's past medical history is
significant for non-ST MI, hypertension, insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus, status post CVA in [**2114**] with no residual,

LABORATORY DATA: White count 7.6, hematocrit 37.4, platelets
219. Sodium 138, potassium 3.6, chloride 102, CO2 27, BUN
15, creatinine 0.9, glucose 205. Troponin on hospital day 2
is 0.17 with CK MB of 2. Patient was scheduled for carotid
ultrasound which showed less than 40% stenosis bilaterally.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Over the next several days, the patient was
maintained on the cardiothoracic service on Heparin and
Nitroglycerin and Integrilin, giving him a little time to
recover from his NST MI and on [**6-2**], he was brought to the
operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass
grafting. Please see the OR report for full details. In
summary, he had a CABG x3 with LIMA to the LAD, saphenous
vein graft to ramus and saphenous vein graft to the RCA. His
bypass time was 72 minutes with a crossclamp time of 57
minutes. He was transferred from the operating room to the
cardiothoracic intensive care unit. At the time of transfer,
he was in a sinus rhythm at 96 beats per minute with a CVP of
19 and a mean arterial pressure of 74. He had insulin at 2
units per hour, epinephrine at 0.02 mcg/kg/min, and Neo-
Synephrine at 0.5 mcg/kg/min, Milrinone at 0.25 mcg/kg/min,
and propofol at 20 mg/hour. Patient did well in the
immediate postoperative period.
On the day of surgery, he was weaned off his epinephrine
drip. Over the next 12 hours, he was weaned from his
Milrinone drip. On postoperative day 1, he was weaned from
his sedation. His ventilator was weaned and he was
successfully extubated following which he had an uneventful
postoperative day. He was, following extubation, weaned from
his Nitroglycerin, insulin, and amiodarone drips as well. He
remained hemodynamically stable throughout these periods.
On postoperative day 2, patient's chest tubes were removed.
He was begun on diuretics as well as beta blockade and he was
transferred from the ICU to Far-2 for continuing
postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation for further
hemodynamic monitoring.
Over the next several days, the patient had a largely
uneventful recovery. However, on postoperative day 3,
following the removal of his Foley catheter, he failed to
void and his catheter was replaced. He was also begun on
Flomax at that time. His activity level was slowly advanced
with the assistance of the nursing staff as well as the
physical therapy staff. Also on postoperative day 3, the
patient was noted to have an erythematous rash, mainly on his
back and trunk. He was begun on Sarna lotion and Benadryl at
that time. The rash did not improve over the next several
days and on postoperative day 5, a dermatology consult was
requested. On dermatology's recommendation, the patient's
medications were tailored to eliminate all unnecessary
possibilities. His Lasix was discontinued. His Vancomycin
had been stopped for several days and Hydralazine.
Additionally, the patient had a biopsy.
By postoperative day 7, the rash appeared to be stable
without further progression. The patient's chest x-ray that
day showed mild pulmonary edema and the patient was begun on
Diuril. Additionally, he was restarted on a low dose of
Lisinopril and he was screened for rehabilitation placement
with the hopes he could continue his postoperative care in a
rehabilitation center.
At the time of this dictation, the patient's physical
examination is as follows: Temperature 98.3, pulse 69 sinus
rhythm, blood pressure 150/66, respiratory rate 20, O2
saturation 93% on room air, finger stick blood sugars at 125
to 200. Lab data: White 21, hematocrit 28, platelets 570.
Sodium 140, potassium 5.1, chloride 99, CO2 28, BUN 15,
creatinine 1.1, glucose 140, mag 2.5. Physical examination,
general, no acute distress, alert and oriented x3, moves all
extremities, follows commands. Cardiovascular: Regular rate
and rhythm, S1, S2, with no murmur. Sternum is stable.
Incision clean and dry. Lungs clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended with
normoactive bowel sounds. Skin is erythematous rash with
some small papules and no mucosal lesions, mainly involving
the back, the buttock and the lower trunk. Extremities have
no cyanosis, clubbing, or edema.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation and mechanical ventilation
Bone marrow biopsy
Central venous line placement
History of Present Illness:
(Primary historians: wife & daughter):
66 y/o male with lung cancer s/p RUL lobectomy, back pain w/
spondylolisthesis, s/p lumbar laminectomes x2, initially
admitted to OSH with back pain, now transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] with
fevers, leukocytosis, and delirium.
.
Patient was in his usual state of health until mid-[**8-11**]-2 weeks after returning to [**State 350**] from [**State 8842**]. He
initially complained of acute onset R lower back pain that
started after leaning over quickly. He went to see his
chiropractor. Pain worsened and developed L sided back pain as
well. Also with + constipation and LE weakness. Around this
same time, the patient started developing a productive cough and
fevers.
.
He presented to [**Hospital **] Hospital on [**9-2**]. Initially alert and
oriented x 3, but noted to "say odd things". He was febrile to
101 in the ED, and was intermittently confused. MRI back showed
L5-S1 central disc protrusion without mass effect or abnormal
enhancement. CT of the head showed diffuse mild cerebral
atrophy with no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. MRI with
and without contrast showed no evidence for meningitis and no
enhancing mass lesion. Neurosurgery was consulted and felt no
intervention needed based on lumbar imaging. ID consulted, and
felt the patient had no clear signs of infection, aside from
fevers, so antibiotics have been generally held. Neurology
assessment was to assess the patient for viral illness,
including viral meningitis, less likely paraneoplastic disorder.
Lumbar puncture was attempted x 4, with records indicating that
one attempt may have yielded venous blood. Acyclovir was
temporarily started and then d/c'd when LP fluid was negative
for HSV PCR. Heme/onc consulted for leukocytosis, bone marrow
aspirate revealed myelodysplasia with no evidence of leukemia.
Chromosomal and cytogenetic studies were sent.
.
Required ICU stay for angioedema of tongue with rash of neck and
cheek. He did not require intubation, and the angioedema
resolved with dexamethasone. He developed nodules on his face
and neck; biopsies revealed neutrophilic dermatosis, c/w Sweet
Syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis.
.
Found to be hypercalcemic with low albumin levels and ionized
calcium of 1.61 on day prior to transfer. PTHrP and PTH were
sent with Vitamin D studies. These were pending at the time of
transfer.

[**2122-9-16**] Chest X-ray: FINDINGS: Lung volumes are low, and apical
lordotic projection and portable technique also contribute to an
accentuation of the cardiomediastinal contours. Patchy opacities
are present at both lung bases, and may reflect atelectasis in
the setting of low lung volumes. Differential diagnosis includes
aspiration and early infectious pneumonia. Followup PA and
lateral radiographs are suggested when the patient's condition
permits.

consideration at the pancreas. Additionally, though the adrenal
nodule is statistically likely an adenoma, metastatic disease
must be considered. Ongoing followup is recommended with repeat
CT within 6 months, or with comparison to prior
imaging.
3. Large bilateral consolidations in the lower lobes
bilaterally. Given the history of fever and cough reported on
the previous chest radiograph, these are concerning for
infectious pneumonia. Nevertheless underlying mass is not
excluded. Followup to resolution is recommended.
4. Large mediastinal lymphadenopathy as detailed above.
5. Numerous healing left lateral rib fractures as well as
deformity in the right sixth rib, presumably post-surgical.
----------------
[**2122-9-18**] EEG: This is an abnormal routine EEG due to reduced
voltage,
slowing, and disorganization of the background rhythm. These
findings
are suggestive of a mild to moderate encephalopathy involving
both
cortical and subcortical structures. Medications,
toxic/metabolic
disturbances, and infection are among the most common causes.
There
were no areas of prominent focal slowing although
encephalopathies can
obscure focal findings. There were no clearly epileptiform
features.
---------------
[**2122-9-18**] Echo: The left atrium is normal in size. Left
ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global systolic
function are normal (LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. Trivial mitral
regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Limited study. No significant aortic or mitral
regurgitation seen. Grossly preserved biventricular systolic
function
Brief Hospital Course:
# Fevers: Transferred from outside hospital with pathologic
diagnosis of Sweet's Syndrome, based on skin biopsy and
persistent fevers/leukocytosis. The patient was febrile from his
first day on the floor. Initial infectious workup including
blood and urine cultures was unrevealing. Stable infiltrate
opacities on OSH CXR may represent PNA, especially in setting of
productive cough. CT of the chest revealed large bilateral
consolidations, and the patient was started on broad antibiotic
coverage for hospital acquired pneumonia, including vancomycin
and ceftriaxone. The patient underwent lumbar puncture with IR
guidance, which yielded ~15 cc of bloody CSF. Initial gram stain
on the CSF revealed gram negative rods, and ampicillin was added
for potential listeria meningitis, in the event that the gram
negative rods reported on gram stain were actually gram
variable. The CSF gram stain findings were subsequently changed
from gram negative rods to "no organisms." Infectious disease
was consulted prior to the above CT findings, and initially
recommended holding antibiotic therapy, as well as sending a
number of serologic infectious studies (HSV PCR in CSF, VZV PCR,
West [**Doctor First Name **] PCR, Eastern Equine Encephalitis PCR, enteroviral PCR,
mycoplasma PCR, VDRL per ID). He was treated with broad spectrum
antibiotics that were eventually tapered to doxycyline. The
patient underwnet TTE, to evaluate for fever of unknown origin.
No vegetations were noted. Rheumatology was also consulted, and
they recommended tapering the patient's dexamethasone, as the
patient's fevers were clearly not responding to the steroid
treatments. He also underwent bone marrow biopsy; pathology is
pending.
# Mental status changes/Delirium: The patient was clearly
confused and disoriented, which--per the family's report--was
strikingly different from his baseline cognition/personality.
Potential etiologies were thought to include infectious
(meningoencephalitis, abscess or non-CNS infection),
metabolic/endocrine (hypercalcemia), renal failure/uremia,
hepatic encephalopathy, or persistently febrile state. It was
thought unlikely to be hydrocephalus or brain metastases from
unknown primary (hx of lung CA), given reportedly normal OSH
imaging. Toxicology screens were negative. Liver function tests
were benign. EEG revealed mild to moderate encephalopathy
involving both cortical and subcortical structures, without
epileptiform features. The patient's mental status seemed to wax
and wane somewhat in proportion to his fevers; he would be more
engaged and responsive to questioning when afebrile.
# Leukocytosis: The patient had reportedly undergone bone marrow
aspiration at the OSH, with findings consistent with
myelodysplastic syndrome. His WBC count increased rapidly to
47,000. Hematology/oncology was consulted and performed another
bone marrow aspiration to further assess the leukocytosis.
Marrow analysis is pending.
# Hypercalcemia: Calcium was highly elevated at OSH, where he
received pamidronate treatment prior to transfer. On arrival
initial calcium levels were measured at 12.1, with an albumin of
2.6. PTH levels were elevated at 106. PTHrP was sent off to an
outside lab. His calcium trended downwards after receiving
pamidronate. Endocrine was following and suspect primary
hyperparathyroidism.
.
# Hypotension: Per patient's family, he has never had difficulty
with high or low blood pressures, and was not on home
anti-hypertensives. He had had very limited PO intake over the
2-3 weeks prior to admission. He was initially placed on
maintenance IV fluids, and subsequently had the rate of infusion
increased. He transiently required vasopressors while in the
unit.
.
# History of carcinoid syndrome: His lung cancer was found to
be carcinod. Endocrine was consulted and felt his symptoms were
unlikely to be carcinoid-mediated. Chromogranin A and 5-HIAA
were sent and are pending.
.
# HIT: His HIT antibody returned positive and he was started on
Argatroban. SRA was sent and is pending. LENIs were negative
for clot.
.
# Respiratory failure: Patient required intubation on [**9-19**].
This was due to ARDS; he was initiated on ARDSnet ventilation.
He had difficultly oxygenating and required high PEEPs directed
by balloon.
.
# Mediastinal lymphadenopathy: Unclear etiology. Patient was
not stable enough for biopsy.
.
Patient acutely decompensated on morning of [**9-25**]. Patient was
made CMO by family. He died that day. Autopsy is pending.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 65-year-old male who
was previously hospitalized in [**2117-6-1**] for a large right
sided subdural hematoma, which developed while he was on
Coumadin on atrial fibrillation with no history of trauma.
The patient underwent bedside drainage of subdural hematoma
without complication, and was discharged off Coumadin.
Patient had a four week followup CT which showed a left sided
subdural hematoma with 5 mm rightward shift. The patient
denies any current symptoms. However, his wife noted
difficulty with gait and occasional tripping prior to
admission.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Atrial fibrillation.
2. Hypertension.
3. Hypercholesterolemia.
4. Anxiety.
5. Questionable pulmonary embolus on [**7-4**].
6. Status post IVC filter in the right groin.
Patient neurologically was awake, alert, and oriented times
three and slightly anxious with equal pupils and full
extraocular motions on initial exam. Patient had a
questionable right pronator drift with a slight facial droop,
but motor strength was [**4-5**] throughout upper and lower
extremities on admission.
Patient was admitted to the floor and preoped for craniotomy
and left subdural evacuation, which he underwent on [**2117-8-27**]
without complication. Subdural drain was placed. The
patient was transferred to the PACU status post procedure.
Patient was placed on fluid restriction on [**8-28**] for a sodium
of 132. Patient's repeat head CT showed some postoperative
air in the left subdural space and some layering of fluid.
Drain was placed. There is scant drainage in the subdural
drain since OR. Drain was flushed on [**10-1**], and [**8-29**]
without significant change in the amount of drainage.
Patient continued to neurologically remain intact
postoperatively.
Patient's drain was D/C'd on [**8-29**] without sequelae. The
patient was transferred to the floor. Patient had no
complaints at the time of discharge. Was neurologically
stable at time of discharge.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Zolpidem tartrate 5 mg p.o. q.h.s.
2. Phenytoin 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.
3. Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. q.d.
4. Atorvastatin 10 mg p.o. q.d.
5. Lorazepam 1 mg p.o. q.4-6h. prn.
6. Peroxetine 40 mg p.o. q.d.
FOLLOW-UP INSTRUCTIONS: The patient was instructed to
followup with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1327**] in the office in two weeks with
prior head CT. Again, the patient is neurologically stable
at time of discharge.

Reason: Please eval extent and location of loculation and PNA
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
35 year old man with Downs syndrome and lg PNA with loculations
on CXR
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
Please eval extent and location of loculation and PNA
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
STUDY: CT chest without contrast and reconstructions.
INDICATION: 35-year-old male with Down syndrome and pleural
loculations on chest x- ray. Initial presentation is right upper
quadrant pain and fever.
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from the same date.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axially acquired images were obtained from the
thoracic inlet to the upper abdomen without intravenous contrast
administration. Multiplanar reformatted images were obtained.
Intravenous contrast was not administered secondary to elevated
creatinine.
CT CHEST WITHOUT CONTRAST: The thyroid gland is grossly
unremarkable. The major airways are patent down to the
subsegmental level. The unopacified heart and great vasculature
are grossly unremarkable without pericardial effusion given
limitation of no IV contrast administration. There are scattered
prominent lymph nodes within the mediastinum, the largest of
which measures 1.5cm in short axis in a subcarinal location. No
axillary adenopathy is present. Limited views of the upper
abdomen without contrast demonstrate no abnormalities within the
liver, stomach, adrenal glands or spleen so far as visualized.
The left lung is clear. There is a small left pleural effusion.
Multiple loculated right-sided pleural fluid collections are
noted. The largest of these is along the right upper lobe
measuring approximately 12.2 x 4.4 cm in greatest dimension. Two
other prominent loculations lie in the right lung base, the
larger of which measures 7.4 x 7.2 cm. The attenuation of these
pleural collections is consistent with simple fluid. Compressive
atelectasis is noted in the right lung with septal thickening at
the right lung base. There is no pneumothorax.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are
detected.
IMPRESSION:
1. Loculated right pleural fluid collections. Given the absence
of contrast evaluation for enhancement and nodularity along the
pleura is limited.
2. Septal thickening and atelectasis in the right lung.
3. Borderline mediastinal lymphadenopathy, may be reactive.
4. Small left pleural effusion.

[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
35 year old man with fever, jaundice, RUQ tenderness
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
Please eval for GB pathology or other pathology contributing to
his sx
INDICATION: 35-year-old man with fever, jaundice, right upper
quadrant tenderness.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: There is a subtle rounded hyperechoic area seen
adjacent to the right hepatic vein, measuring approximately 2.5
cm in greatest dimension. No definite Doppler flow is seen
within this lesion. No other definite focal lesion is identified
within the liver. Gallbladder appears unremarkable, without
evidence of stones. Normal direction of flow is seen in the
portal vein. Right pleural effusion incidentally noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of cholecystitis.
2. Subtle hypoechoic lesion seen within the right lobe of the
liver without significant mass effect, possibly representing
focal fatty infiltration, hemangioma or FNH. Multiphasic MRI
(with "echo-offset" sequences) or CT is recommended for further
evaluation on a non-emergent basis.
3. Right pleural effusion.
***** [**2172-1-18**] ECHOCARDIOGRAM:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal
(LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall
motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion.
There is no aortic valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial
mitral regurgitation. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure
could not be quantified. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved
global biventricular systolic function. No pericardial effusion
or pathologic flow identified.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:
Based on [**2171**] AHA endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the
echo findings indicate prophylaxis is NOT recommended. Clinical
decisions regarding the need for prophylaxis should be based on
clinical and echocardiographic data.
***** [**1-25**] CT ABDOMEN/PELVIS
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
Please perform w/ PO and IV contrast - hypoechoic liver lesion
on previous US [**2172-1-12**], now w/ elevated LFTs, fever
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
INDICATION: Hypoechoic liver lesion on previous ultrasound and
elevated liver function tests.
COMPARISON: An ultrasound of the abdomen from [**2172-1-12**].
TECHNIQUE: Axial volumetric images have been obtained through
the abdomen and pelvis according to the triphasic liver
protocol. Pre-contrast, arterial face, portovenous phase images
were obtained.
FINDINGS: The liver appears normal with no evidence of abnormal
lesions corresponding to the son[**Name (NI) 493**] finding within the
right lobe. The spleen, the pancreas, and the gallbladder appear
unremarkable. The bilateral adrenal glands are within normal
limits. There is an NG tube in place with the tip seen within
the stomach.
The bowel appears unremarkable with no evidence of pneumatosis
or obstruction. There is no evidence of free fluid within the
abdomen. There is a Foley catheter in place.
There are bilateral basilar atelectases with consolidation in
the right lower lobe. There are also bilateral chest tubes in
place. There is a small right- sided pleural effusion. There is
a subcutaneous collection seen in the right hemithorax more
laterally on image 122 measuring 4.4 anteroposteriorly x 2.5 cm
axially. This collection is surrounded by fat stranding and
inflammatory changes.
There are no suspicious bony lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. There is no hepatic lesion detected that would correspond to
the ultrasonographic finding within the right lobe.
2. Bilateral lower lobe atelectases and consolidation within the
right lower lobe with a small effusion. There are bilateral two
chest tubes in place.
3. A collection within the subcutaneous tissues in the lateral
aspect of the right hemithorax with evidence of surrounding
inflammatory changes. Findings were communicated to Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] on
the same day at 6:45 p.m.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 77155**] [**Last Name (Titles) 1834**] VATS decortication converted to thoracotomy
with bilateral chest tubes on [**2172-1-14**]. He remained intubated and
was transferred to the SICU postoperatively on empiric
Vancomycin and Zosyn. He continued to spike fevers with
elevated white count, and his cultures grew out strep viridans
from the pleural fluid and yeast from sputum. ID was consulted
for antibiotic management, and felt that the yeast was likely a
contaminant. Echo was done which was negative for vegetations,
and all lines were changed. On [**1-25**] he had a CT of the
abdomen/pelvis to rule out intraabdominal source, which revealed
a fluid collection below his thoracotomy wound, so the incision
was opened. Minimal purulent fluid and old clotted blood was
expressed. Subsequently his fever curve began to trend down,
and pressors and ventilation were weaned. All subsequent
cultures were negative. He was extubated on [**1-26**], and
transferred to the floor on [**1-28**]. He [**Month/Year (2) 1834**] a speech and
swallow evaluation and was started on PO diet. His right chest
tube was converted to an empyema tube, and the left chest tube
was pulled on [**2-5**]. There was a small left apical pneumothorax
post-pull which was stable on subsequent xray. He completed his
course of Zosyn on [**2-4**], but developed C diff colitis so was
started on PO flagyl. As his vital signs were stable, he was
tolerating regular diet, and was feeling well, he was discharged
to rehab on [**2172-2-6**].

Chief Complaint:
Fatigue, lightheadedness, bradycardia, sinus pauses
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Pacemaker placement (St. [**Hospital 923**] Medical
Accent PM2210 dual chamber pacemaker) on [**2105-3-2**]
History of Present Illness:
60 M with history of HTN, HL, and lyme disease s/p treatment
presents with lightheadedness and palpitations. He noted the
onset of palpitations and lightheadedness about 4 weeks ago,
describes it as feeling like he is about to pass out. Has a
sensatino of palpitations like his heart is skipping beats.
Finds that they are most commonly triggered by exercise, finds
that he is very winded and tired after going to the gym,
significantly more than usual. They have become more frequent
in the last few days.
.
He first brought these symptoms to his PCP's attention on [**2-18**]
when He complained of feeling weak and lightheaded about 15
minutes after exercise. It was similar to what he felt 5 years
ago when he was on the golf course. At that time, he was found
to have a cardiac conduction defect [**1-15**] Lyme disease. He was
worried about the recurrence of Lyme disease. He has had no
recent contact with ticks, no rashes. He started noticing
palpitations several weeks ago. but he felt that they improved
by stopping caffeine.
.
He came to the ED tonight when his symptoms returned. Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **]
was consulted while he was in the ED. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] noted him to
have frequent sinus pauses that correlated with his symptoms.
The longest pause noted was 4.6 seconds. He felt fine when he
was in Sinus.
.
In the ED, initial vitals were 97.6 56 174/90 16 99%. He had
pacer pads placed. No medications were given. CXR was benign.
Vitals on transfer were 97.6 56 174/90 16 99%RA.
.
He was on the floor overnight for a few hours, however his heart
rate continued to dwindle. He was spending most of his time in
a junctional rhythym, and from that rhythym was having pauses,
the longest of which was 5.54 seconds. He continued to be
symptomatic with the sensation of feeling "awful, washed out,
and nauseous." Discussion was initiated with the cardiology
fellow, and the decision was made to bring the patient up to the
CCU for a trial of chronotropic support to bridge him to getting
a pacemaker, and if that failed, placing a temporary pacer.
.
ROS: 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. S/he denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. S/he denies
exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the other review of

TOTAL EXERCISE TIME: 12 % MAX HRT RATE ACHIEVED: 91
SYMPTOMS: NONE
ST DEPRESSION: EQUIVOCAL
INTERPRETATION: This 60 year old man with a h/o Lyme disease was
referred to the lab for evaluation of sick sinus syndrome and
syncope.
The patient exercised for 12 minutes of [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] protocol (12.9
METS) and
stopped for fatigue. This represents a good functional capacity
for his
age. There were no chest, neck, back, or syncopal symptoms
reported by
the patient throughout the procedure. There was 1 mm of
upsloping ST
segment depressions inferolaterally at peak exercise. The rhythm
was
sinus with rare APBs and one ventricular couplet. The heart rate
response to exercise was appropriate. Resting mild systolic
hypertension. The blood pressure response to exercise was mildly
exaggerated (232/80mmHg).
IMPRESSION: No exercise induced arrhythmia or anginal symptoms
with
non-specific ST changes at the achieved workload. Good
functional
capacity. Resting mild systolic hypertension with mildly
exaggerated
blood pressure response to exercise.
C. ECHO ([**2105-3-2**])
Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are
normal (LVEF >55%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal
left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no
aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
There is no mitral valve prolapse. The estimated pulmonary
artery systolic pressure is high normal. There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved
global and regional biventricular systolic function. No valvular
patholology or pathologic flow identified. Mildly dilated
ascending aorta.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2098-9-3**], the left ventricular cavity size is
smaller (now normal) and the heart rate is now lower.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:
Based on [**2099**] AHA endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the
echo findings indicate prophylaxis is NOT recommended. Clinical
decisions regarding the need for prophylaxis should be based on
clinical and echocardiographic data.
Brief Hospital Course:
60-year-old male with history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
and lyme disease presented with fatigue, lightheadedness,
bradycardia, and significant sinus pauses (up to 4.6 seconds)
that seemed to occur after cessation exercise was found to have
sinus node dysfunction and is status post pacemaker placement
for sinus node dysfunction.
# Sinus node dysfunction
Patient had noted onset of palpitations and lightheadedness
about 4 weeks ago and described it as a feeling like he was
about to pass out. He also felt weak and lightheaded about 15
minutes after exercise.
He presented to the [**Hospital1 18**] ER for return of his symptoms. It was
noted that he had frequent sinus pauses that correlated with his
symptoms up to 4.6 seconds. He was asymptomatic when in normal
sinus rhythm. He was initially admitted to the [**Hospital1 1516**] service but
had significant bradycardia and transferred to the CCU. His
rhythm was mostly junctional with continuing long pause
intervals (4 to 5 seconds at times) with continuing symptoms
including feeling "awful, washed out, and nauseous."
He was placed on chronotropic support to bridge him while
awaiting potential pacemaker evaluation requiring isoproterenol
especially during rest given bradycardia to 30-40s.
An ECHO was performed on [**2105-3-2**] showing normal biventricular
sizes and function with no overt valvular pathology. He had a
mildly dilated ascending aorta.
He also had an exercise stress test to evaluate cardiac rhythm
during and post-exercise. He was able to exercise for 12 minutes
on [**Doctor First Name **] protocol (12.9 METS) with the test stopped for fatigue.
There was 1 mm of upsloping ST segment depressions
inferolaterally at peak exercise. Rhythm was sinus with rare
APBs and one ventricular couplet. The heart rate response to
exercise was appropriate. The blood pressure response to
exercise was mildly exaggerated (232/80). There was no apparent
exercise induced arrhythmia or anginal symptoms with
non-specific ST changes at achieved workload.
The patient was taken to the EP lab on [**2105-3-2**] for pacemaker
implanation given sinus note dysfunction specifically sinus
pause/arrest and had a St. [**Hospital 923**] Medical Accent DR [**Last Name (STitle) **] PM2210
placed in the left pectoral region. He was given vancomycin 1 gm
IV for the procedure and while in the hospital. There were no
apparent complications.
Post-procedure CXR was within normal limits showing good lead
placement. He was discharged on a three day course of keflex
with post-pacemaker care instructions and activity limitations.
He will follow-up in device clinic in one week.
# Hypertension
He was continued on hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril.
# Hyperlipidemia
He was continued on simvastatin
# Hct drop
Labs on [**3-2**] showed Hct decrease from 46.1 to 35.3 with repeat
labs stable at 44.7 -47.2 likely reflecting an isolated and
spurious value.
# Transitional issues
- Pacemaker follow-up
# Pending studies
- follow-up final CXR report performed on [**2105-3-3**]

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] for
fatigue, lightheadedness, and a slow heart rate.
You were monitored closely in the Cardiac Care Unit, and it was
decided that given your slow heart rate that you needed a
pacemaker to keep your heart rate at a good level while at rest.
You had an exercise test that showed that your heart was doing
well when you exerted yourself.
Please see the pacemaker discharge instruction sheet for
activity limitations and other instructions related to your new
pacemaker.
Medications:
STOP propranolol as this can slow your heart rate. Discuss with
your primary care doctor if you need additional medications to
control your blood pressure.
START keflex 500 mg by mouth four times daily for the next 3
days. This is to prevent infection at the site of your new
pacemaker. The prescription has been routed to your [**Location (un) 535**]

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 56-year-old male
who experienced chest pain while undergoing an exercise
tolerance test. He was preoperative for right inguinal
herniorrhaphy repair. He was referred for cardiac
catheterization, which he had when he came into the hospital
on [**2-7**]. This revealed a 70% distal left main, 85% ostial
circumflex, and 70% ostial right coronary artery, and an
ejection fraction of 62%. He was referred to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 70**]
for coronary artery bypass grafting.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Hypertension, former smoker with a 4-
pack per day history for which he quit in [**2111**], polio at age
7, former ETOH abuse, and remote fracture of nose and skull.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He lives alone, and he works at [**Hospital3 2576**]
as a cargo transporter.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Aspirin 325 mg p.o. once a day,
Toprol-XL 50 mg p.o. once a day.
ALLERGIES: He had no known drug allergies.
PREOPERATIVE LABORATORY DATA: White count 6.0, hematocrit
33.3, platelet count 329,000. PT 13.6, PTT 32.8, INR 1.2.
Urinalysis was negative. Glucose 182, sodium 134, K 3.9,
chloride 102, bicarbonate 24, BUN 18, creatinine 0.7, anion
gap of ALT 30, AST 14, alkaline phosphatase 34, amylase 42,
total bilirubin 0.8, albumin 3.8. Preoperative chest x-ray
showed no acute cardiopulmonary disease, but some suggestive
changes of emphysema.
On exam he had a left facial droop, status post his childhood
polio. Temperature of 97.5, heart rate 65 in sinus rhythm,
respiratory rate 18, he was saturating 93% on room air, with
a blood pressure of 121/71. His lungs were clear bilaterally.
His heart was regular rate and rhythm with S1 and S2 and no
murmur. His abdomen was benign. His extremities were warm
with no edema, and 2+ pulses bilaterally.
He was also seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and consented for
coronary artery bypass grafting. On the following day, on
[**2-8**] he did undergo coronary artery bypass grafting x 3
with a LIMA to the LAD, a RIMA to the RCA, and a vein graft
to the OM by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 70**]. He was transferred to the
cardiothoracic ICU in stable condition on a propofol titrated
drip and a Neo-Synephrine drip at 1 mcg per kg per minute.
On postoperative day 1, he had a blood pressure of 102/51,
was A-paced at 90, was saturating 92% on 2 liters nasal
cannula. Postoperatively, his white count rose to 21.2, with
a hematocrit of 28.7, platelet count 346,000. K 4.2, BUN 9,
creatinine 0.6. His chest tubes remained in place for some
drainage overnight. His Neo-Synephrine was at 2.4 mcg per kg
per minute. His PA line was discontinued.
On postoperative day 2, he received 1 unit of packed red
blood cells overnight. His hematocrit rose to 26.8 the
following morning. His white count dropped to 12.9. His
creatinine was stable at 0.6. His Neo-Synephrine continued to
be weaned and was at 0.1 mcg per kg per minute on the morning
of rounds. His chest tubes and pacing wires remained in
place. His heart rate was 95 and blood pressure 109/57.
On postoperative day 3, his Neo was discontinued. He began
his metoprolol beta blockade, and Lasix diuresis was started.
His hematocrit rose to 25.4. He transferred to the floor. His
mediastinal chest tubes were discontinued. His pleural chest
tube remained in place. His pacing wires were discontinued.
His Foley was discontinued, and he began metoprolol 25 b.i.d.
On the floor he was seen and evaluated by physical therapy.
He began his ambulation and increasing his activity level. He
was alert, awake, and oriented and was working with physical
therapy and the nurses to also improve his pulmonary toilet.
On postoperative day 4, he was in sinus rhythm and was
hemodynamically stable. He had a nonfocal exam. His sternum
was stable with no click. His incisions were clean, dry,
intact. He had 2 pleural tubes which remained in place. They
were removed on postoperative day 4. His Lopressor was
increased to 50 b.i.d. to reduce his sinus tachycardia and
bring his blood pressure down. He was encouraged to continue
to increase his activity level. On postoperative day 5, the
patient was in sinus rhythm with a good blood pressure. His
exam was unremarkable, but he had slightly decreased urine
output which responded to an increase in Lasix, and he was
encouraged to continue ambulating. His Lopressor was also
increased to 75 mg p.o. b.i.d. He also had 1+ extremity
edema.
On postoperative day 6, he continued diuresis and then was
orthostatic, but he had improved oxygenation, and he
continued to have a low-grade temperature of 100.3. His
creatinine was stable at 0.7, his hematocrit was stable at
32.0, and his white count was normal. He was below his
preoperative weight on postoperative day 6. Lasix was changed
from b.i.d. to daily. Cultures were sent off, as it was
unclear what the fever origin was. The patient continued to
ambulate with a plan for discharge the following day if he
remained afebrile and had improved blood pressure.
On postoperative day 7, he was febrile the evening prior and
he continued to be lightheaded while ambulating. His lab work
was unremarkable. His Lasix was discontinued. His Lopressor
was decreased from 75 down to 50 b.i.d., and he continued to
be monitored. On postoperative day 7 he had some diarrhea,
and the following day that resolved. There was a question of
a possible thrombophlebitis, but it turned out there was no
thrombophlebitis. He continued to be very orthostatic. Follow-
up cultures did not have any growth at that point. He was
given some IV fluids bolus for hypotension, and all the rest
of his nonessential medications were discontinued.
On postoperative day 9, he had no fever in the 24 hours
prior. He continued to diurese on his own, and attempt was
made to keep him positive for his I's and O's. His central
venous line had already been discontinued as well as his
pacing wires. He was in sinus rhythm at 90 with a good blood
pressure. On postoperative day 11, an echocardiogram was
performed which showed an ejection fraction of 55%, a dilated
aortic root, and good wall function.
On [**2-20**], postoperative day 12, he was discharged to home
with VNA services. On the day of discharge he was in sinus
rhythm, with a blood pressure of 111/81, a pulse rate of 88,
saturating 97% on room air. White count 10.2, hematocrit
36.1, platelet count normal. K 4.8, BUN 11, creatinine 0.7.
His neurologic exam was nonfocal. His lungs were clear
bilaterally. His heart was regular rate and rhythm. He had no
drainage or erythema from any of his incisions, and he was
discharged home in stable condition with VNA services.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Status post coronary artery bypass grafting x 3.
2. Right inguinal hernia.
3. Status post broken nose and skull 30 years ago.
4. Polio at age 7.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 1932**] is a 49-year-old right-handed man with a history of
[**Location (un) 849**]-Gastaut syndrome with intractable epilepsy and
intellectual disability who presented as a transfer from [**Hospital 7912**] due to increased lethargy. The staff at his group
home reported that he had been very somnolent over the last few
days. They also reported a cough and some congestion and think
he might have had a fever. He has not had any increase over his
baseline seizure frequency (usually has 1-2 drop attacks per
day). On the morning of admission he was eating breakfast when
he reportedly fell forward and hit his head on the table:
unclear if he fell asleep or had a drop attack. There was no
evidence of convulsive activity. EMS was called and he was taken
to [**Hospital6 33**]. Upon arrival his vitals were within
normal limits (99.1F 77 102/65 16). He received aspirin 81mg
and 1L NS and was subsequently transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
evaluation.
.
Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Name (NI) **], pt was noted to be somnolent and
inattentive, not answering questions appropriately and had
difficulty following commands.
Otherwise there were no focal neurologic deficits noted. ROS is
positive for recent cough/congestion, negative for headache,
chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, abdominal
pain, changes in bowel/bladder habits.
Past Medical History:
1. [**Location (un) 849**]-Gasteau syndrome; refractory seizure disorder with
baseline [**1-6**] seizures per day (drop attacks per group home

Imaging:
CHEST X-RAY ([**2200-3-4**]): As compared to the previous radiograph,
there are newly appeared bilateral parenchymal opacities. These
are better seen
on the lateral than on the frontal radiographs and are both
located in the lower lobes. The opacities are ill-defined and
show multiple air bronchograms as well as bronchocentric
predominance. In the appropriate clinical setting, the opacities
are highly suggestive for pneumonia.
.
CTA CHEST ([**2200-3-6**]):
1. Bilateral pulmonary emboli involving the distal left main
pulmonary artery and bilateral segmental and subsegmental
arterial branches. Mild contrast reflux into the IVC suggests
mild right heart strain.
2. Moderate bibasilar atelectasis, worse at the left lower lobe,
with superimposed pneumonia and/or aspiration.
3. 4 mm right minor fissure nodule, which may represent
inflammatory focus. No dedicated followup is required if there
are no higher risk factors such as malignancy.
4. Small left pleural effusion.
.
TRANSTHORACIC ECHO ([**2200-3-7**]): The left atrium is normal in size.
Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF 60%). The right ventricular
cavity is dilated with borderline normal free wall function. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good
leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic
regurgitation. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse.
The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal.
There is no pericardial effusion.
.
LE ULTRASOUND ([**2200-3-7**]): No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in
either right or left lower extremity.
.
VIDEO SWALLOW [**2200-3-7**]: RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. PO diet: regular
solids, thin liquids. 2. PO meds whole with thin as tolerated,
but whole with puree if
pt has pocketing of meds. 3. [**Hospital1 **] oral care. 4. Assist with meals
only if needed to maintain standard aspiration precautions.

Brief Hospital Course:
49 year-old right-handed man with h/o Lennaux-Gastaut syndrome
with intractable epilepsy and mild intellectual impairment
admitted with a several day history of increased somnolence,
initially felt to be due to upper respiratory tract
infection/anti-epilpetic drug uptitration found to have
pneumonia and bilateral pulmonary emboli requiring transient ICU
admission.
.
#SOMNOLENCE/Community Acquired Pneumonia:
Per the patient's group home, the patient was noted to have
lethargy and cough, but did not have any increase in his
baseline seizure frequency and his neuro exam was unchanged exam
for intermittent subtle twitching of the right thumb. Chest
X-ray revealed bilateral lower lobe pneumonia, which was felt to
be the most likely cause of the patient's somnolence. He was
treated for community acquired pneumonia with Ceftriaxone and
azithromycin and completed his full course of antibiotics in the
hospital.
#Epilepsy:
Patient was maintained on continuous EEG throughout his
hospitalization which showed a slow encephalopathic pattern
throughout the recording with frequent bursts of rapid
generalized epileptiform discharges, consistent with patient's
diagnosis of symptomatic generalized epilepsy as well
superimposed toxic-metabolic encephalopathy. Per his previous
titration schedule as specified by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **], his zonegran was
discontinued. His clobazam was initially uptitrated to 10mg/20mg
per previous titration level, then decreased back to 10mg/10mg
due to concern that this could be increasing somnolence. The
rest of his home AED's were continued at their current doses
(Levetiracetam 2500mg [**Hospital1 **], Lacosamide 300mg [**Hospital1 **], Depakote ER
500mg q8am / 750mg q8pm). His somnolence improved with treatment
of his underlying pneumonia. He was followed by Neurology
throughout his hospital course.
.
#PULMONARY EMBOLI:
Although the patient was initially satting in mid-90s on 1-3L
per nasal cannula on admission, while working with physical
therapy on [**3-6**] he had an acute desaturation which required O2 by
50% ventimask to maintain O2 saturation >90%. He was transferred
to the Medical ICU where his antibiotics were initially
broadened to Vanc/Zosyn/Azithromycin. Chest CTA subsequently
showed bilateral pulmonary emboli in the distal left main
pulmonary artery and bilateral segmental and subsegmental
arterial branches. A transthoracic echocardiogram was done which
showed minimal right heart strain and bilateral lower extremity
ultrasounds showed no DVT. He was treated with anticoagulation
with an IV heparin gtt and transferred to the floor on [**2200-3-8**].
His O2 saturation remained in the high 90s on RA-2L O2 by nasal
canula. After extensive discussion with the Neurology team and
the patient's mother and case worker at his group home, the
decision was made to discharge the patient on a Lovenox bridge
to Coumadin. Given his frequent seizures and falls, it was felt
that Coumadin would be a better option given its ability to be
reversed should the patient suffer a bleed. The interactions of
coumadin with the patient's anti-epileptic drugs were discussed
with the patient's outpatient Neurologist, and the decision was
made to try to manage anticoagulation with coumadin, with
lovenox as a second option should the goal INR of [**2-7**] be
difficult to obtain. Patient should continue on anticoagulation
for 6-12 months and will have INR followed and Coumadin titrated
by the patient's PCP and [**Hospital6 33**] [**Hospital 3052**]. Patient will also require use of a helmet while
ambulating to minimize risk of bleed.
.
#Obstructive sleep apnea: Pt has known OSA for which he has not
tolerated CPAP in the past. Trial of CPAP was performed on the
medical floor which the patient seemed to tolerate however. Pt's
outpatient neurologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] will follow up and initiate
nasal CPAP as an outpatient.
.
#ANEMIA: Pt has hypoproliferative anemia, HCT was stable
throughout hospitalization. B12 and folate WNL. Iron studies
were relatively normal.
#Disposition: Patient was discharged to rehab.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 1932**],
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] on
[**2200-3-3**] due to increased somnolence. You were found to have
pneumonia in both lungs, and were started on antibiotics. You
then developed worsening shortness of breath, and were found to
have pulmonary emboli (blood clots in lungs). You were started
on a blood thinner called heparin, and your oxygen requirements
improved. You will need to stay on blood thinners (called
Warfarin) for 6 more months to dissolve the clots. For your
epilepsy, you were put on continuous EEG, which showed changes
due to being sick with pneumonia as well as your underlying
seizure activity. Some of your anti-epileptic medications were
decreased because they seemed to be making you overly
sleepy/lethargic.
.
Please attend the follow up appointments with neurology listed
below.
.
We made the following changes to your medications:
1. STARTED Enoxaparin (Lovenox) 120mg subcutaneously once daily,
to be continued until you have therapeutic blood levels of
Warfarin for at least 48 hours
2. STARTED Coumadin (Warfarin) 2mg by mouth daily today, which
will be increased based on what your blood levels are (goal INR
[**2-7**]). These levels will be followed at rehab and then at Dr. [**Name (NI) 17665**] office ([**Hospital3 **]). You will need to
continue this for at least SIX MONTHS after discharge.
3. STOPPED Zonisamide (Zonegram)
4. DECREASED Clobazam from 10mg in the morning and 20mg at night
to 10mg in the morning and 10mg at night

Brief Hospital Course:
39 yo F s/p Single-incision laparoscopic proctocolectomy,
J-pouch ileoanal anastomosis and diverting ileostomy for
refractory ulcerative colitis who is admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] from
the [**Hospital Unit Name 13042**] for hypopnea/apnea. Per the [**Hospital Unit Name 13042**], during the five hour
case the patient received 250mg of fentanyl, 4mg of midazolam,
5.6 mg of Dilaudid, 280mg of propofol, and 1mg of Haldol, as
well as scopolamine patch, and after the case she was extubated
and had a respiratory rate of [**5-13**] with excellent oxygenation.
The floor refused her [**1-8**] low respiratory rate and she was
admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]. [**Name8 (MD) 13042**] RN felt [**Name8 (MD) 14593**] administering
naloxone because the patient was stable and she didn't want to
cause undue pain.
In summary, a 39F with PMH of anxiety & refractory ulcerative
colitis s/p protocolectomy who came out of the OR too hyponeic
to go to the floor.
Low respiratory drive/rate: Resolved. This is undoubtedly due
to polypharmacy and is clearing as the meds clear. Patient is
mentating well with SpO2 in high 90s. No indication for narcan
overnight. The patient remained stable throughout her
hospitalization once transferred to the inpatient [**Hospital1 **].
UC s/p Proctocolectomy: Patient with a PMH of UC from her teen
years, dx'd at 25. Currently on prednisone taper s/p
proctocolectomy. The patient was progressed from sips of clears
to a regular diet as her bowel function returned. The day prior
to discharge the patient was noted to have increasing ileostomy
output and immodium was initiated. The following day the
ileostomy output was acceptable, she was taught by the
wound/ostomy nursing team as well as the floor nursing team to
care for her ileostomy and how to monitor herself for signs and
symptoms of dehydration and how to measure and record her the
ileostomy output. Her prednisone taper was continued as an
outpatient.
Pain management: As the patient's bowel function returned she
was progressed from intravenous morphine and dilaudid PCA to
pain medications by mouth. The patients pain was adequately
controlled by the discharge pain regimen.
Anxiety: Patient c/o anxiety and concerned she might have a
panic attack. The patient was mantained on her outpatient
regimen of anxiolytics.

Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital for Single-incision
laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch, anal
anastomosis and
temporary diverting ileostomy for treatment of your ulcerative
colitis. You have tolerated this procedure well, tolerated a
regular diet, your pain is well controlled with pain medications
by mouth and you are now ready to be disharged home. Please
monitor your bowel function closely. You have a new ileostomy
which puts you at risk for dehydration if you do not monitor the
output from your ostomy and do not repleate yourself with enough
fluid. It is important to monitor the output from the ostomy.
The goal for your ileostomy output is to put out between
500cc-1200cc daily. The ileostomy output has been high prior to
your discharge, you have been started on immodium 2mg twice
daily, please take this and monitor your ostomy output. You will
also be taking metamucil wafers as ordered. As your stool
becomes thickened, you may titrate these medications. Please
call the office if you have any questions. Care for your ostomy
as you have been instructed by the wound/ostomy nurses. Please
eat small frequent meals and keep yourself well hydrated.
Monitor your self for signs and symptoms of dehydration
including: increased thrist, dizziness, dizziness on standing,
or dry mouth.
You will be prescribed the medication Percocet
(oxycodone-acetaminophen) for pain. Please take this as written.
Donot drink alcohol or drive a car while taking these
medications. Please be aware that this medication could increase
the affects of the medications you currently are taking for
anxiety, if you find that the percocet is making you sedated
please refrain from taking these medications at the same time.
Please monitor the skin around the ostomy for signs and symptoms
of infection including: increasing redness, increased pain,
increased drainage from the stoma or drainage from this area
that is white/green/thick/malodorous. If you notice these
symptoms please call the office or go to the emergency room if
the symptoms are severe.
You will be tapering your prednisone. You are currently taking
10mg of prednisone daily, please continue to take this dose
until Sunday [**2137-9-8**]. At this time you will taper to 5mg for 7
days, then taper to 2.5mg daily for 7 days, and to 1mg for 7
more days. At this time you may stop the prednisone.
You will return to the hospital for the ileostomy take down at a

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **] year old female presents to the acute care service after a
mechanical fall. Upon admission, she was made NPO, given
intravenous fluids, and underwent radiographic imaging. She was
reported to have a comminuted fracture of the right iliac [**Doctor First Name 362**]
with note of an extraperitoneal hematoma. Because of these
findings, she underwent a pelvic angiogram which was negative
for extravasation and she required no embolization. She was
evaluated by orthopedics who recommmended non-surgical
intervention at this time with follow-up in 2 weeks. Her head
cat scan did not show a inter-cerebral bleed. She was admitted
to the intensive care unit for monitoring of her hematocrit. She
required additional intravenous fluids for hemodynamic support,
but her hematocrit stablized without blood products. Initial EKG
did show q waves in V3-V6 with normal CPK. She did resume her
aspirin and plavix.
She was transferred to the surgical floor on HD #2. Her vital
signs remained stable and she is afebrile. She is tolerating a
regular diet and voiding without difficulty. She was evaluated
by physical therapy who recommended discharge to a
rehabilitation facility where she can regain her strength and
mobility.
She will be discharged to an extended care facility with
instructions to follow up with the acute care service,
orthopedics, and her primary care provider.
Of note: she was started on ciprofloxacin [**11-2**] for UTI.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: [**Known lastname **] [**Known lastname **]-[**Known lastname **] is the former
1.895 kilogram product of a 34 and [**3-8**] week gestation
pregnancy, born to a 31 year old gravida V, para III woman.
PRENATAL SCREENS:
1. Laboratory Data: Blood type is O positive, antibody
negative, RPR nonreactive, hepatitis B surface antigen
negative, rubella immune, GBS negative.
2. Mother's medical history is notable for epilepsy,
currently on no medications.
3. Past obstetrical history notable for vaginal deliveries
in [**2166**], and [**2173**]. This pregnancy was conceived by IVF with
an estimated date of confinement of [**2176-12-2**]. Dichorionic
diamniotic twins were noted on prenatal ultrasound. The
pregnancy was complicated by incompetent cervix and preterm
labor. Mother was hospitalized [**2176-7-9**], to [**2176-7-13**], for
cervical incompetence at which point a cerclage was placed
and the mother was started on indomethacin and Nifedipine.
She was readmitted again on [**2176-8-4**], for recurrent preterm
labor. She was beta complete at 24 weeks. On the day of
delivery, the mother presented in spontaneous labor. She was
allowed to progress with Pitocin augmentation. Rupture of
membranes occurred five hours prior to delivery with clear
fluid. She received one dose of Clindamycin for unknown GBS
status. She received epidural anesthesia. There was no
maternal fever or fetal tachycardia.
The infant was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery. Apgar
was seven at one minute and eight at five minutes. She was
admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for treatment of
prematurity.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Upon admission to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, weight was 1.895 kilograms, 25th to 50th
percentile, length 41 centimeters and 10th percentile, head
circumference 29 centimeters and 10th percentile. General,
the infant is a nondysmorphic infant in no acute distress.
Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat - anterior fontanelle is
soft and flat. Eyes with red reflux visualized both. Ears
normally set without anomalies. Palate intact. Clavicles
intact. Neck supple. Chest - The lungs are clear to
auscultation, equal breath sounds, some periodic breathing.
Cardiovascular - regular rate and rhythm, no murmur, 2+
femoral pulses. The abdomen is soft, positive bowel sounds,
no hepatosplenomegaly. Genitourinary - normal female, patent
anus. Spine - no sacral anomalies. Extremities - hips
stable. Extremities are pink and well perfused. Neurologic
- normal and symmetrical tone and activity.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Respiratory - [**Known lastname **] required blow by oxygen briefly at the
time of admission and then weaned to room air. She has been
in room air her entire Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
admission. She has not had any episodes of spontaneous apnea
or bradycardia.
2. Cardiovascular - A soft murmur was heard on day of life
two and has continued to be heard intermittently. It is
consistent with peripheral pulmonic stenosis. No
cardiovascular sx or compromise. WIll need routine follow-up
by pediatrician.
3. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - [**Known lastname **] has p.o. feeds
from day of life one. She has been breast feeding and bottle
feeding, taking in greater than 130cc per kilogram per day.
We supplemented her calories to 24 calories per ounce to
facilitate growth. Her discharge weight is 1.87 kilograms.
4. Infectious disease - Due to the unknown GBS status of the
mother and prematurity, [**Name (NI) **] was evaluated for sepsis. A
white blood cell count was 11.2 with a differential of 25%
polys, 0% bands. A blood culture was obtained prior to
starting intravenous Ampicillin and Gentamicin. The blood
culture was no growth at 48 hours and the antibiotics were
discontinued.
5. Gastrointestinal - Peak serum bilirubin occurred on day
of life one with a total of 6.6/0.3 mg/deciliter with
subsequent repeat levels lower with one most recently on
[**2176-10-30**], of a total of 3.6/0.3 direct. She did not receive
any treatment.
6. Neurologic - [**Known lastname **] has maintained a normal neurological
examination during admission and there were no neurological
concerns at the time of discharge.
7. Sensory - Hearing screening was performed with automated
auditory brain stem responses. The infant passed in both
ears.

Chief Complaint:
Transferred from OSH for Trach + PEG
MICU Transfer: Pneumonia on vent
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
-tracheostomy
-G-tube placement
-right thoracentesis
History of Present Illness:
68F h/o 02-dependent COPD, chronic hypercapneia, s/p mult admits
in last 6mo's COPD exacerbations, though never intubated until
current admission, who was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for trach and
PEG on [**2123-12-22**]. On arrival to [**Hospital1 18**], pt spiked fever to 103.
Workup of the fever revealed severe RLL as well as large,
loculated R pl. effusion (see full report below). Trach and PEG
postponed to treat these issues. Pt being transferred to MICU
service for management and tx of PNA.
.
Relevant recent hx includes admission to [**Hospital6 **] on
[**2123-12-12**] w/ hypercarbic resp failure & MS changes. Admission
ABG on [**2123-12-12**] was 7.13/>115/64 on [**1-5**] of BiPAP. She was
treated w/ IV steroids, abx, and lasix. She was thought to have
COPD exacerbation & PNA, as well as possible CHF exacerbation.
Pt failed BiPAP & required intubation. A triple lumen R-IJ was
placed on [**2123-12-14**] in the setting of hypotension: she reportedly
had SBP into the 80s & required pressors for a short
period--dopamine initially (which made her tachycardic) then
vasopressin. Cause for her hypotension is unclear. [**Name2 (NI) **] sputum
from [**12-13**] grew pseudomonas (sensitive to gent, tobra, cefepime,
imipenem, and zosyn). Because of this cx data, her abx were
changed from levoflox to cefepime. Bld cx's there were w/o
growth. Pt was started on TF via NGT.
.
Despite tx, pt was unable to be weaned off of vent. ABG on
[**2123-12-21**] was 7.36/83/78 on AC [**1-5**], TV 450, Fi02 45%. Given
overall picture, pt evaluated for trach & PEG at OSH; however,
it was felt that she would be high risk for procedure given her
kyphosis & body habitus, so she was transferred here for
intervention.
.
On arrival to [**Hospital1 18**], pt was con't on cefepime for tx of PNA as
well as IV steroids & nebs for COPD and dilt gtt for rapid afib.
The day following admission, [**2123-12-22**], WBC 20 (up from 15 day
prior) and pt febrile to 103. She was started on vanc in
addition to cefepime. She underwent chest CT which showed PNA
w/ large, complex effusion. Additionally, CT showed possible
filling defect in pulm artery, for which CTA was recommended to
further eval. However, b/c of pt's allergy to iodine, she did
not undergo CTA.
Pt underwent flex bronch on [**12-23**], which showed small white
exophytic playw in RML (likely aspirated food). Biopy x2 of RML
orifice and BAL of LLL performed. PPD performed--result
pending.
.
Pt currently c/o dyspnea--stable since admission. She has had
moderate amount of secretions. Her afib has improved w/ regard
to rate control. She was transitioned off dilt gtt and
controlled with dilt PO.
.
ROS: Pt notes no pain, including CP. Fever y'day. Feels
"scared" about all that is going on medically. This is her
first time being intubated. She feels like she needs lasix. No
LE swelling, She notes that she only has diabetes while on
steroids.
Past Medical History:
-COPD 02 dependent, chronic hypercapnia, never intubated prior
to current admission
-mild CHF-->LVED 40-45% on OSH echo
-mild pulm HTN w/ PA pressure of 35mmhg by OSH echo

Brief Hospital Course:
68F h/o severe COPD, vent-dependent, planned for trach & PEG on
admission deferred after finding MRSA LLL PNA + B pleural
effusions (L>R), treated with vanc/cefepime, also on heparin gtt
for PE.
.
# MRSA Pneumonia: Pt was found to have LLL pneumonia, initially
considered CAP vs. nosocomial as pt had been transferred from
[**Hospital6 **] after being admitted there from home w/ PNA,
and because pt had been vented for over a week before transfer.
Pt received cefepime for pseudomonal coverage per OSH cultures,
and was started on vancomycin for MRSA in sputum. She should be
continued on vancomycin and cefepime until [**1-1**].
.
# Respiratory distress: Pt originally intubated at OSH because
of hypercarbic failure related to severe COPD, PNA, and pleural
effusions. Pt found to have bilateral pleural effusions likely
[**3-5**] chronic process, and possibly related to previous infection
(considered unlikely acute empyema). Because of PNA, pt
initially continued on vent. A right-sided thoracentesis was
performed on [**2123-12-27**] seeking to drain an effusion; this was
complicated by the development of a pneumothorax which required
the placement of a chest tube. Bedside tracheostomy was
subsequently performed by interventional pulmonology on
[**2123-12-28**].
.
# Pulmonary embolism: CT w/o contrast demonstrated filling
defect in pulmonary artery. Pt administered heparin gtt and to
r/o possible future PE source, bilateral lower extremity
ultrasounds were obtained and confirmed no DVTs. Pt's
outpatient mgt will require long-term anticoagulation.
Anticoagulation was held briefly in anticipation of her multple
procedures; warfarin was re-started on [**2123-12-29**]. INR 1.3 on
[**2123-12-30**].
.
# COPD, possible exacerbation: Pt's baseline pulmonary function
marked by severe COPD with hypercarbia & baseline 02
requirement. Pt was therefore maintained on nebulizers and
guaifenesin, and was started on methylprednisolone (Solumedrol)
IV at 40mg IV q8h, which was tapered to 20mg q8h. Before [**12-27**]
procedure, pt was maintained on stress-dose steroids. On
[**2123-12-29**], she was transitioned to 15 mg daily of PO prednisone.
This dose may be tapered as follows: 15mg on [**12-31**], 10mg on
[**1-1**], 5mg on [**1-2**], 3mg on [**1-3**] mg on [**1-3**] and then
discontinue.
.
# CHF: Pt uses furosemide 60mg daily as home regimen for
baseline CHF, and was restarted on furosemide 60mg QOD to
maximize respiratory capacity and was increased to 60mg PO
daily. She should continue on lasix 60mg PO daily.
.
# Type II DM: Per pt, elevated glucose only when steroids used.
Pt was initially placed on insulin gtt, which was then changed
to NPH 30units x1 dose AM after MICU transfer. NPH was titrated
to control sugars Fs<150, and as of [**12-29**], was 20 units [**Hospital1 **].
This may require adjustment as steroids are tapered and
eventually discontinued.
.
# AFib: Patient was rate-controlled initially on diltiazem gtt
and later on diltiazem PO. Anticoagulation was held in the
setting of surgial procedures but restarted on [**2123-12-29**].
Continue warfarin and titrate to INR 2.0-3.0.
.
# Nutrition: Nutrition was consulted and recommended tube feeds
as follows: Half strength Nutren 2.0 at 50ml/hour with 15g
Benepro, 1251kcal, 61g protein.

This organism may develop resistance to third

isolates that
are initially susceptible may become resistant within
three to
four days after initiation of therapy. For serious
infections,
repeat culture and sensitivity testing may therefore be
warranted
if third generation cephalosporins were used.

Brief Hospital Course:
64 M rehab resident with history of DM2, ESRD on HD, CHF, HTN,
and AFIB who presented with with acute mental status change on
the way to HD, found to have acute respiratory alkalosis and
metabolic acidosis, as well as GNR bacteremia. Hospital course
by problem below:
.
#. GNR sepsis: He had an episode of hypothermia, hypotension,
and GNR bacteremia. Most likely source is sacral decubitus
ulcer. Repeat blood cultures were no growth to date. Initial
culture is preliminarly B.fragilis. Wound swabs were sent for
culture, as well as MRSA screens. He was covered broadly with
renally-dosed vanco, zosyn, and gent (gram positives and double
coverage for pseudomonas). His wound grew citrobacter,
resistant to piperacillin. He was switched to ciprofloxacin,
and should continue a total 14 day course of antibiotics.
.
# Mental status change: This was thought to be due to infection
as above, acute on chronic psychiatric symptoms, and alkalosis
with pH 7.69. Repeat blood gas was significantly improved.
Serum tox screen was negative; due to baseline anuria, urine tox
screen was not able to be obtained. LP was deferred due to
sacral ulcer overlying site. His valproate level was 22, but
the medication is given for agitation and mood disorder. Psych
was [**Month/Day/Year 4221**] for agitation and recommended haldol IV prn. His
mental status improved by discharge.
.
# Respiratory alkalosis: This was noted on admission, and was
thought to be due to compensation for metabolic acidosis,
question from uremia vs. sepsis. Repeat blood gas was improved.
.
# ESRD on HD: Patient with anion gap metabolic acidosis on
admission. This improved with hemodialysis. He was last
dialyzed on [**4-21**].
.
# DM2: He was continued on his outpatient lantus and glargine.
.
# HTN: Metoprolol was held in house due to hypotension. On
discharge he was hypertensive, and this was restarted with hold
parameters.
.
# AFIB: He received metoprolol for rate control. The patient
is not on coumadin because he does not want frequent blood
draws. He is also s/p pacer.
.
# Wound Care: The wound care nurse [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 4221**] re his stage
IV ulcers. He is to receive wound care as an outpatient, and
frequent repositioning.
.
# PEG: His PEG tube material was hemooccult positive. He was
continued on [**Hospital1 **] PPI. He is to continue receiving daily
flushes, although he is no longer relying on tube feeds for
adequate pos.
.
# LLL Lung nodule: 4 mm nodule was found incidentally on CT
scan. The radiologists recommended one-year follow-up.
.
#. FEN: He was given a renal, diabetic, cardiac diet.
.
#. PPX: PPI, heparin sc, bowel regimen
.
#. CODE: He is DNR/[**Hospital 24351**] hospice care only but with exception of
dialysis per paperwork and discussion with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 53939**] at
[**Hospital 228**] nursing home.

Findings
LEFT ATRIUM: Mild LA enlargement. No LA mass/thrombus (best
excluded by TEE).
LEFT VENTRICLE: Normal LV wall thickness, cavity size and
regional/global systolic function (LVEF >55%).
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion.
Abnormal diastolic septal motion/position consistent with RV
volume overload.
AORTA: Normal diameter of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch
levels. Normal descending aorta diameter.
AORTIC VALVE: Mildly thickened aortic valve leaflets (3). No AS.
Filamentous strands on the aortic leaflets c/with Lambl's
excresences (normal variant). Trace AR.
MITRAL VALVE: Bioprosthetic mitral valve prosthesis (MVR). MVR
well seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular
gradients. No MR. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of MR
may be significantly UNDERestimated.]
TRICUSPID VALVE: Normal tricuspid valve leaflets. Moderate [2+]
TR. Mild PA systolic hypertension.
PULMONIC VALVE/PULMONARY ARTERY: Significant PR.
PERICARDIUM: No pericardial effusion.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Frequent atrial premature beats.
Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No left atrial mass/thrombus
seen (best excluded by transesophageal echocardiography). Left
ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global
systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There is abnormal
diastolic septal motion/position consistent with right
ventricular volume overload. The diameters of aorta at the
sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. There are filamentous strands on the aortic leaflets
suggestive of Lambl's excresences (normal variant (clip [**Clip Number (Radiology) **];
cannot excluded vegetations if clinically suggested). Trace
aortic regurgitation is seen. A bioprosthetic mitral valve
prosthesis is present. The mitral prosthesis appears well
seated, with normal leaflet motion and transvalvular gradients.
No mitral regurgitation is seen (may be UNDERestimated by
acoustic shadowing). Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is
seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
Significant pulmonic regurgitation is seen. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Well functioning bioprosthetic mitral prosthesis.
Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved global and
regional biventricular systolic function. Pulmonary artery
hypertension. Likely Lambls on the aortic valve. No pericardial
effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2196-1-26**], the
mitral valve has been replaced with a normal functioning
bioprosthesis, the right ventricular cavity is smaller, and the
estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is lower.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:
Based on [**2192**] AHA endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the
echo findings indicate prophylaxis IS recommended. Clinical
decisions regarding the need for prophylaxis should be based on
clinical and echocardiographic data.

Brief Hospital Course:
71 F with cirrhosis [**3-7**] NASH, h/o gastric angioectasia
(GAVE/watermelon stomach) with GIB, DM2, ESRD on HD MWF,
diastolic CHF, HIT, seizure dx on [**Month/Day (2) 13401**], with mental status
changes improved after lactulose administration, was in MICU for
transient hypotension responsive to fluids, transferred to floor
on [**2177-12-9**].
.
1) Hypotension: now resolved; contributed initially by several
BMs, hypovolemia, UTI, HD with unknown removal of fluid. She
responded well to fluids.
.
2) Mental status changes: most likely secondary to hepatic
encephalopathy for which the patient has had repeated
admissions. Patient also has positive urine culture for what is
felt to be a colonizer per ID no need to treat. Patient placed
on lactulose for [**4-6**] bowel movements per day, continued of
rifaximin. Blood cultures negative except for one that was felt
to be a contaminant. Alert and oriented * 3 at discharge.
--- If additional admissions, likely will be due to
noncompliance as discussion with family revealed lactulose
titrated to one bowel movement daily. Family educated that
patient need more bowel movements per day given her liver
function.
.
3) Urinary Tract Infection: Vancomycin- resistant Enterococcus
felt to be colonizer due to poor urine output in this patient
with End Stage Renal Disease. Patient was given 2 doses of
daptomycin, but ID felt if colonizer no need to treat.
.
4) Effusion: likely chronic from cirrhosis. No urgency to tap.
.
5) Cirrhosis [**3-7**] NASH: increasing ascites. Continued rifaximin,
ursodiol, lactulose. Stopped lasix in setting of hypotension and
patient on HD for fluid control.
.
6) ESRD on HD: HD on M/W/F. Continued Sevelamer
.
7) GAVE and GIB: baseline Hct 30; now stable. No active
bleeding.
.
8) DM2: Insulin standing and ISS.
.
9) Acute on Chronic Diastolic Heart Failure: CXR shows
increasing R pleural effusion and worsening CHF. Patient on HD
for fluid control.
.
11) HIT: Avoided all heparin products.
.
12) Seizure disorder: Continue [**Month/Day (2) 13401**] at home dose
.
13) Coagulopathy: pt received Vitamin K 5 mg PO in the ED. INR
stable at 1.7.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 689**]
Chief Complaint:
hemoptysis
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation
History of Present Illness:
70 yo M with CAD, s/p CABG x2, atrial fibrillation (on coumadin
at presentation) presented to an OSH (> 2 weeks ago) with 3 days
of fever, hemoptysis, cough, chills, and dyspnea. CT revealed
diffuse airspace disease, predominant in the R and lower lobes.
His initial labs were WBC 6.6, HCT 38, Plt 199, Cr 0.6, TBili
2.7, DBili 0.7, AST 19, ALT 33. He was then treated empirically
for CAP with ceftriaxone/azithromycin but had continuing
hemoptysis, dyspnea, and developed [**First Name3 (LF) 5283**] abdominal pain. Patient
was noted to have dropping HCT despite transfusion and worsening
respiratory distress. He was then transferred to the ICU,
intubated and given with additional pRBC and FFP. His TBili
increased to 4.3 with a Direct Bili of 1.8 and ALT increased to
32 and AST to 63. Patient had a [**First Name3 (LF) 5283**] ultrasound and CT that were
remarkable only for layering gallbladder sludge vs. small
stones. GI consult suggested [**Doctor Last Name 9376**] disease. He was then
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] MICU.
At the time of admission to the MICU ([**2187-8-12**]): Tmax= 102, Hct
25, INR 1.3, TBili 4.5, AST of 58, LDH 366, Lipase 92, Alb 3.0,
Na 130. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed and demonstrated
frank blood in all airways without any endobronchial lesions.
Due to his multilobe involvement and diffuse bleeding and high
temperature of 102 he was then placed on triple Abx for presumed
necrotizing pneumonia: Vancomycin, Azithromycin, and ZOSYN. He
was intubated for about 1 week because of hypoxemia and ARDS.
Because of the bleeding both coumadin (which he normally takes
for his A-fib) and aspirin were held. During [**8-12**] and [**8-13**], he
was given a total of 6 u pRBC, which raised the HCT to 33 (an
inappropriate increase suggesting possible hemolysis). Patient
was found to be p-ANCA +. This then suggested either microscopic
polyangiitis (MPA) or Churg-[**Doctor Last Name 3532**] syndrome. The findings that
make Churg-[**Doctor Last Name 3532**] less likely are the absence of asthma and no
eosinophilia. Consistent with MPA are the findings of hemoptysis
and hematuria (with wich the patient presented). Even though the
p-ANCA is nearly 70% specific for MPA, a biopsy could be used
for a more definite diagnosis (specifically necrotizing
inflammation of arterioles, capillaries, and venules w/o
granulomas or eosin). Accordingly, Rheumatology was consulted
and suggested likely MPA, with the rec of starting high dose IV
steroids and Bactrim for PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 1102**]. Patient's pulmonary
function improved and he was successfully extubated on [**8-20**].
However, his elevated TBili kept increasing, following a bimodal
pattern:
([**8-14**]): TBili 16
([**8-18**]): TBili 7.2
([**8-22**]): TBili 23
([**8-25**]): TBili 10
with a IndirectBilli in the range of [**1-23**]. Concurrently his LFT's
started increasing considerably:
([**8-19**]): ALT 60, AST 69, LDH 657, AlkPhos 93
([**8-22**]): ALT 168, AST 147, LDH 1103, AlkPhos 164
([**8-25**]): ALT 267, AST 100, LDH 608, AlkPhos 160, Amylase 123.
Due to increasing LFTs Hepatology was consulted, and suggested
that the pattern of lab abnormalities combined with the
patient's clinical picture point to a drug reaction. Based on
lab/imaging studies there is no evidence for viral or alcoholic
hepatitis and history and imaging are not consistent with NASH.
Although many medications can cause cholestatic jaundice, they
suspect a reaction to Zosyn. Expected to resolve with stopping
the offending [**Doctor Last Name 360**] however MRCP performed on [**8-24**] showed no
evidence of intrahepatic biliary disease. A [**8-13**] [**Name (NI) 5283**] sono showed
gallbladder sludge and [**Doctor Last Name 5691**], no biliary ductal dilatation and
trace perihepatic free fluid. Furthermore, the increased LDH and
TBilli, as well as low haptoglobin (<20) was suggestive of a
delayed hemolytic anemia in the setting of multiple blood
transfusion. After examining the transfused blood it was
determined that 5 u pRBCs that were transfused were JK positive
and the patients blood was JK antibody positive, suggestive of a
transfusion reaction that would increase the IndirectBilli.
Concomitantly, the presumed liver toxicity induced by zosyn and
resulting intrahepatic cholestatis could potentially explain the
increase in DirectBilli.
On the morning of [**8-22**] the patient had a tonic-clonic seizure.
While on the bed pan talking to the nurse, he suddenly gave out
a yelp, his body became tense, head and eye movement turned to
the right, followed by jerking of his right arm for about 1
minute. The nurse administered 2mg Ativan IV and there was a
gradual resolution of movement, followed by about 15 min of
confusion. There was no apparent bowel incontinence or tongue
biting. The patient doesn't remember the seizure and returned to
his basline mental status (AOx3). Neurology was then consulted,
differential included new stroke due to vasculitis vs.
cardioembolic (off coumadin) Another possiblity was
re-expression of a prior stroke due to toxic metabolic
infectious abnormalities. The seizure unlikely to be related to
the hyperbilirubinemia. An head MRI was done on [**8-22**] showing no
acute infarcts, minimal amount of chronic microangiopathic
changes, and a normal MRA of the head.

[**2187-8-12**] BAL: negative for malignant cells. Blood, pulmonary
macrophages - some hemosiderin-laden, and rare bronchial
epithelial cells.
[**2187-8-12**] CXR: Extensive right lung alveolar consolidation and
rounded parenchymal opacities in left lung. Although
nonspecific, the findings might represent extensive right lung
hemorrhage due to vasculitis given history of hemoptysis.
Differential diagnosis includes multifocal pneumonia and
multiple pulmonary infarcts in the left lung with asymmetric
pulmonary edema on the right. A more chronic entity such as
bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma is also possible.
[**2187-8-13**] Abdominal US: No focal or textural hepatic abnormality.
Unremarkable Doppler interrogation of the liver. A small amount
of free fluid as described. Cholelithiasis with equivocal mild
gallbladder wall thickening, though clinical correlation is
recommended. Left pleural effusion partially imaged.
[**2187-8-15**] CXR: Endotracheal tube tip terminates about 8 cm above
the carina. A nasogastric tube continues to coil in the stomach
with distal tip directed cephalad, directed toward the GE
junction. Diffuse air space opacities throughout the right lung
and involving the left mid and lower lung appear slightly worse
compared to the previous study, but may be accentuated by lower
lung volumes.
[**2187-8-18**] CXR: Lines and tubes unchanged. No significant change
in bilateral airspace disease.
[**2187-8-21**] CXR: In comparison with the study of [**8-20**], there is
little change in the diffuse opacification involving most of the
right lung. Areas of increased opacification are again seen at
the left base. The endotracheal and nasogastric tubes have been
removed. The right subclavian catheter persists with its tip in
the mid superior vena cava at the level of the carina.
[**2187-8-22**] ECHO: The left and right atria are moderately dilated.
No left atrial mass/thrombus seen (best excluded by
transesophageal echocardiography). The estimated right atrial
pressure is 11-15mmHg. The right ventricular cavity is mildly
dilated. Free wall motion is good. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. The aortic arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. An eccentric, inferolaterally
directed jet of mild to moderate ([**11-21**]+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
[**2187-8-22**] MR head w/ and w/o contrast: No acute infarcts. Minimal
amount of chronic microangiopathic changes. Normal MRA of the
head.
[**2187-8-23**] CXR: Partial additional improvement in right lung
consolidation.
[**2187-8-24**] MRCP: Biliary sludge and stones without biliary
dilatation or evidence of cholecystitis. No
choledocholithiasis. Known adrenal calcifications, and basilar
pulmonary atelectasis/effusion, and scattered pulmonary
opacities.
Brief Hospital Course:
# Hemoptysis/Vasculitis: Patient presents to an Outside Hospital
with hemoptysis, described as several teaspoons of dark red
blood mixed with sputum, cough, shortness of breath, chills and
a fever of Tmax=102 for the 3 days prior to admission. There, a
CT scan was performed revealing diffuse alveolar disease, mainly
in the Right Middle and Right Lower Lobes. He was then started
on Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin. Warfarin was stopped because of
persistent hemoptysis.
Over the next two days his Hematocrit dropped from 38 to 29 and
he was transfused 1 unit of Packed Red Blood Cells.
On [**8-12**] due to his worsening hemoptysis and shortness of
breath, as well as a further decrease in the Hematocrit to 27 ,
he was transferred to the ICU at the Outside Hospital. There he
was given more blood, vitamin K, vancomycin and 2 units of Fresh
Frozen Plasma.
He was then intubated and transferred to the [**Hospital3 **] MICU.
Due to his multilobe involvement and diffuse bleeding and fever
he was then placed on triple Abx for presumed necrotizing
pneumonia: Vancomycin, Azithromycin, and ZOSYN (Piperacillin and
Tazobactam). During the first 48hrs in the [**Hospital3 **] MICU he
was given 6 units pRBCs and his HCT increased to 33.
Labs sent out: P-ANCA positive with MPO positivity, [**Doctor First Name **] positive
(1:40, diffuse))
Rheumatology: High dose IV steroids and Bactrim (Trimethoprim/
Sulfamethoxazole) for PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 1102**].
Patient's pulmonary function improved and was successfully
extubated on [**8-20**] with no further episodes of hemoptysis.
Based on the presentation it was believed to be a kidney-sparing
microscopic polyangiitis and a treatment of steroids was
continued. Rheumatology and Pulmonary felt there was no need for
a lung biopsy at this time. If patient fails steroids would
consider cytoxan vs. cellcept vs. methotrexate.
.
# Hyperbilirubinemia/LFTs: During his stay at the MICU the
patient's LFTs increased drastically:
([**8-12**]): ALT 32, AST 58, LDH 366, AlkPhos 82, Tbili
4.5
([**8-19**]): ALT 60, AST 69, LDH 657, AlkPhos 93 , Tbili
8.5
([**8-22**]): ALT 168, AST 147, LDH 1103, AlkPhos 164, Tbili 18.9
([**8-25**]): ALT 267, AST 100, LDH 608, AlkPhos 160, Tbili 10.7
(IndirectBili: 3-5 range)
MRCP performed on [**8-24**] showed no evidence of intrahepatic
biliary disease.
[**Name (NI) 5283**] sono showed gallbladder sludge and [**Doctor Last Name 5691**], no biliary ductal
dilatation.
Hepatology was consulted and suggested Zosyn induced
hepatotoxicity and Zosyn was stopped followed by gradual
decrease of the Tbili. Hepatology also considering liver biopsy
as outpatient.
After examining the transfused blood it was determined that 5 u
pRBCs that were transfused were JK positive and the patient's
blood was JK antibody positive, suggesting a possible delayed
transfusion reaction that could have contributed to the
hyperbilirubinemia.
.
# Seizure: In the MICU on the morning of [**8-22**] the patient had a
tonic-clonic seizure. While on the bed pan talking to the nurse,
he suddenly gave out a yelp, his body became tense, head and eye
movement turned to the right, followed by jerking of his right
arm for about 1 minute. The nurse administered 2mg Ativan IV and
there was a gradual resolution of movement, followed by about 15
min of confusion. There was no apparent bowel incontinence or
tongue biting. The patient doesn't remember the seizure and
returned to his basline mental status (AOx3). He was then
started on Keppra. Imaging studies of the head (MR & CT)
suggested no evidence of acute infarcts and no intracranial
hemorrhage. CT of the head: No evidence of intracranial
hemorrhage. During his stay patient has had no other seizure
events and was sent home with Keppra.
.
# CAD: Several days prior to discharge patient reported chest
pain consistent with stable agina, acute pain overnight/morning,
with an unchanged EKG. He was placed on telemetry and pauses
>2sec between beats occured multiple times over 24hrs. The
metoprolol was decreased to 12.5mg [**Hospital1 **] (which is his home dose).
MI was ruled out with negative cardiac enzymes. ASA, beta
blocker were continued. Patient had no further episodes.
.
# Afib: The metoprolol dose was decreased to 12.5mg [**Hospital1 **] due to
presence of pauses (>2sec) between beats. Due to his vasculitis
the coumadin was stopped.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 2262**] was taken to the OR on [**4-30**] for exploratory
laparotomy, resection of gastrojejunostomy and Billroth II
anastomosis, with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, partial transverse
colectomy with primary anastomosis, feeding jejunostomy for
recurrent GIB and history of gastric CA. Postoperatively, the
patient was taken to the SICU for recovery. He was extubated and
did well over the course of POD 0. His hematocrits were stable
in the 26-27 range. His TF were started via the J tube. His NGT
was to suction. On POD 1, he remained hemodynamically stable and
tolerated his tube feeds however his hematocrits started to
slowly decrease. He was transferred to the floor on POD 2 and
given his persistent anemia with a hct of 21, he was transfused
two units of PRBC.
Following transfer to the Surgical floor his hematocrit remained
stable in the 30-32 range. He began tube feeds via his J tube
and tolerated them well. The speech and swallow service
evaluated him on multiple occasions but he had frank aspiration
on video swallow and therefore was given sips of nectar thick
liquids for comfort. He will need this followed up.
He required mineral oil via his J tube to start his bowel
function and it was effective. As he is prone to constipation
his narcotic pain medication was stopped and he was given
scheduled Tylenol for pain. He will continue Senna and Colace as
well.
His Surgical wound was healing well and some of his staples were
removed prior to discharge. The remaining staples will be
removed at his first post op appointment. He had an abdominal CT
on [**2201-5-6**] as he has had a right inguinal hernia nut had a bit
more pain on palpation. The CT was done and confirmed that the
hernia sac was fat and fluid filled as opposed to bowel and his
pain gradually resolved.
The Physical Therapy service evaluated him and recommended a
stay in a short term rehab prior to returning home to increase
his mobility and endurance after this hospitalization.

Service: cardiothoracic surgery.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Briefly, this is a 79 year old
woman with a previous history of scarlet fever status post
[**Last Name (un) 3843**]-[**Doctor Last Name **] mitral valve for mitral stenosis in [**2126**].
At the time of her surgery, she was found to have normal
coronaries with normal aortic valve. She also had a history
of atrial fibrillation which had been managed on Coumadin.
In the past year, she had been complaining of fatigue and
increasing shortness of breath while walking and exertion.
She denied any chest pain, palpitations, dizziness or
syncope. Echocardiogram revealed biatrial enlargement,
severe aortic stenosis with an aortic valve area of 0.6
centimeters, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal left ventricular function, moderate tricuspid
regurgitation and moderate pulmonic regurgitation.
The patient was taken to the Cardiac Catheterization
Laboratory for evaluation of her aortic valve as well as
evaluation of her coronary arteries.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Scarlet fever.
2. Atrial fibrillation.
3. Prior transient ischemic attacks with mild carotid
disease noted on recent testing.
4. Hypertension.
5. High cholesterol.
6. Obstructive pulmonary disease noted on chest x-ray.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY:
1. Hernia repair.
2. Mitral valve replacement.
3. Elbow surgery.
ALLERGIES: She had no known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Aspirin 81 mg p.o. q. day.
2. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q. day.
3. Toprol 100 mg p.o. twice a day.
4. Coumadin 2.5 mg Monday through Saturday and none on
Sunday.
5 Fosamax one tablet a week.
LABORATORY: On admission white blood cell count was 9.1,
hematocrit was 38.0 and her platelets were 299. Her sodium
was 140, potassium of 4.8, chloride 104, bicarbonate of 29,
BUN of 24, creatinine 1.1 with an INR of 1.3.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination, the patient
was afebrile and her vital signs were stable. Her lungs were
clear to auscultation bilaterally. Her neck was supple with
no jugular venous distention. Her heart was irregularly
irregular with a loud systolic ejection murmur.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was taken to the Cardiac
Catheterization Laboratory and cardiac surgery consultation
at that time. The patient was taken to the Operating Room on
[**2133-9-10**], where an aortic valve replacement was done using
a 19 centimeter pericardial valve. The patient was
transferred to the CSRU postoperatively where she did well.
She was slowly weaned from her ventilator and extubated, all
of her drips of epinephrine and Nitroglycerin were stopped.
The patient was started on beta blockers and lasix at that
time. The patient was transferred to the Floor
postoperatively where she continued to improve.
On postoperative day number two her chest tubes were removed
and her wires were removed. The patient was started back on
her Coumadin for her atrial fibrillation and a chest x-ray
was done which was normal, however, showed a slightly
enlarged heart on x-ray.
Physical Therapy was consulted at this time for testing of
ambulation and it was felt that the patient could possible be
able to be discharged home. The patient continued to improve
and Coumadin was continued at her regular dose and was
followed, and her INR was slowly increased. The patient did
well with Physical Therapy and it was felt that that time
that the patient could be discharged home when medically
cleared. A cardiac echo performed [**2133-9-14**] showed normal LV
function and good aortic and mitral prosthetic valve function.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 7710**] is a 58 year old male with recently diagnosed
squamous cell cancer of the head and neck who presented with
respiratory distress and was intubated in the ED.
# Respiratory failure - First ABG with acidemia and hypercarbia.
Differential includes respiratory infection or mucous plugging
vs. upper airway compromise from malignancy vs. narcotic
overdose given home med use. Report of ?pus with intubation
concerning for pneumonia which was more apparent on repeat CXR
after fluid resuscitation. Suspect aspiration given altered
mental status and location of infiltrate. Sputum culture
pending, but with multiple organisms on gram stain. Patient
initially on vancomycin, zosyn, and levofloxacin to cover for
healthcare associated pneumonia and narrowed to vancomycin and
zosyn (plus metronidazole for C.diff). Urine legionella antigen
was negative. Ventilating very well on [**9-27**] with 50% FiO2
(tidal volumes in 800s) but extubation held given transfer to
WXVA and still with significant secretions requiring suctioning.
# Unresponsiveness - Likely secondary to pulmonary infection vs.
mucous plugging vs. narcotic overdose given hypercarbia and
respiratory distress. Hypercarbia improved post intubation. No
evidence for seizure or other intoxication on serum/utox.
# Diarrhea/C.diff - Stools were positive for C. difficile and
patient was started on IV flagyl.
# Anion gap - Likely secondary to lactic acidosis, most likely
from infection. Resolved following fluid resuscitation.
# Elevated CK - Possibly early rhabdo from lying immobile
overnight. Cardiac biomarkers were negative x 3. CKs now
trending down with IVF to maintain good urine output.
# Renal failure - Baseline creatinine 0.6-0.7 per WXVA records.
Likely pre-renal from dehydration in the setting of diarrhea and
acute infection, now trending downward after fluid
resuscitation.
# Hyperkalemia - Initially 6.1 then resolved to 4.6. Likely
secondary to acute renal failure. Improvement likely result of
IVF and diarrhea.
# Hypertension - Tachycardia could be rebound from beta-blocker
withdrawal in addition to acute illness. As patient was quite
ill and had the potential to become hypotensive, metoprolol was
initially held and then restarted at a reduced dose the
following morning. However, following first dose of metoprolol,
patient systolic pressure dropped to mid 80s, so metoprolol was
held. Responded back into 90s with 1.5 L IVFs in the early
afternoon and has maintained in this range.
# Psych history - cont. citalopram.
# Chronic pain, medication dependence - Patient on narcotics and
benzos at baseline and required high doses for adequate sedation
while intubtated. The morning following presentation fentanyl
patch and half dose methadone were restarted to facilitate later
vent weaning.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **]F presents with history of GERD, dementia, MRSA UTI admitted
to MICU from [**Hospital1 1501**] with shock, UTI and GI bleed.
.
# Sepsis/UTI/bacteremia - initially hypotensive in ED, baseline
[**Hospital1 **] per her PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] 36, down to 26 on admission, thus hypotension
felt most likely hypovolemic from GI bleed, but may have had
septic component as well given +UA on [**8-12**], +leukocytosis (WBC
17.1). CVP = 4. Given 3.2 L IVF, 2 units PRBC's in ED. Never
required pressors in the ICU. She recieved ~4L IVF in the MICU,
and 4U PRBCs. She was treated with broad spectrum abx
vanc/cipro/flagyl for 1d in the ICU. She was transferred to the
floor on [**2159-8-13**]. Vanco and flagyl were discontinued given the
presence of gram negative rods on urine culture, and no other
source of infection. Her Urine speciated E.Coli resistant to
quinolones, and she was switched to oral bactrim based on
sensitivities. She has a history of reported bactrim allergy.
After discussion with her PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] was determined that she has
taken bactrim in the past in [**4-10**] without adverse reaction. She
tolerated bactrim without difficulty.
.
Blood cultures on [**2159-8-12**] were positive for LACTOBACILLUS in 1 of
2 bottles. Subsequent cultures on [**9-8**], [**8-15**] showed no
growth at the time of discharge. Left IJ catheter tip was
cultured and showed no growth at the time of discharge.
ID consult was obtained, and recommended clindamycin iv x 14
days to treat potential lactbacillus bacteremia starting on
[**8-16**]. A PICC line was placed for this antibiotic. She was also
started on a 21 day course of oral vancomycin (starting [**8-16**])
for c. difficile prophylaxis given her recent c. difficille
infection. She was hemodynamically stable upon transfer to the
medical floor and had no further hypotension.
.
She should have follow-up of her bacteremia with either her
primary care physician or the gerontology service at [**Hospital 100**]
Rehab. She does not require surveillence cultures.
.
# GIB bleed - most likely due to duodenal ulcer given CT scan.
GI and surgery were consulted, and given the patient and son's
desire for conservative management, it was agreed upon that no
intervention would be performed unless pt developed life
threatening bleed. Pt received total of 5U PRBCs last on [**8-14**].
Her [**Month/Day (4) **] was stable at 33-35 on discharge on [**8-16**]. She was
tolerating a regular pureed diet with supervision given concern
for aspiration while recovering from UTI. She was discharged
home on omeprazole twice daily. her aspirin and plavix were
discontinued. she should discuss restarting her aspirin with
her primary care physician in the future.
.
.
# Hyperkalemia - K up to 5.8 on [**8-13**], down to 4.8 on [**8-16**] without
intervention. No ekg changes. some question of RTA as source
of chronic hyperkalemia. potassium resolved without
intervention. she will follow-up with her PCP.
.
.
# Recent C Diff - pt finished PO Vancomycin [**8-10**]. She had
melanotic stools this admission, though no diarrhea. She was
started on PO vanco on [**8-16**] for 21 day course to prophylax
against cdiff given that she is starting a new course of bactrim
for UTI and clindamycin for bacteremia.
.
.
# CKD: baseline Cr 1.8 per report, down to 1.3 on [**8-16**].
medications were renally dosed. no evidence of ATN.
.
# DM - pt was covered with sliding scale insulin while
inpatient.
.
# gout - pt continued home regimen of allopurinol.
.
# anemia - baseline Hgb is approximately 12 per discussion with
patients' PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] down to 26 on admission consistent with GIB.
At time of discharge [**Name10 (NameIs) **] 34.9. Iron supplementation was held
in setting of GIB, and can be restarted as outpatient.
.
# CAD - given ongoing GIB as above, decision made to hold
aspirin and plavix. No clear indication for continue plavix
given lack of recent NSTEM, CVA, or PAD. Pt will need to
discuss restarting aspirin with PCP once hematocrit has been
stable.
.
# COPD - pt continued on her home regimen of fluticasone and
spiriva. She was breathing comfortably on room air at the time
of discharge.
.
# Access - L IJ placed in setting of hypotension in ICU. This
was discontinued on [**8-15**], and tip was cultured. PICC was placed
for IV antibiotics which will continue for 14 days, afterwhich
time PICC can be discontinued.
.
# FEN - pt advanced to regular pureed diet on [**8-15**]. Pt kept on
aspiration precautions given that she remains drowsy in setting
of her UTI.
.
# CODE: pt's code status was made DNR/DNI per discussion with
son, HCP in keeping with patient's wishes. Son is HCP.
.
# DISPO: pt being discharged to [**Hospital 100**] Rehab. Plan is to
complete antibiotics as above (bactrim for UTI, clindamycin for
lactobacillus bacteremia), and oral vancomycin for cdiff
prophylaxis. She will readdress aspirin use as above.

Brief Hospital Course:
ASSESSMENT/PLAN: 48yo male with AIDS related [**Doctor Last Name 11579**] Lymphoma
with CNS involvement s/p cycle 2 of R-IVAC admitted with sepsis
and pancytopenia.
.
# Sepsis/ Febrile neutropenia: GNR and methicillin resistant
staph aureus on [**5-5**] blood cultures previously requiring pressors
and course in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]. Source unclear. Urine cx negative, CT sinus
negative. TTE revealed no evidence of endocarditis with EF
50-55% and mild global systolic dysfunction likely secondary to
sepsis. TEE not completed due to thrombocytopenia. Patient
initially treated with cefepime and vancomycin. As sensitivities
returned, coverage switched to Cipro and vancomycin. Vancomycin
initially dosed by level in setting of acute renal failure. As
renal function improved dosing switched to 1 gram q 12 hours.
PICC line was placed and patient was sent home to complete 3
week course of cipro and 4 weeks total of vancomycin with follow
up by Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1075**] from Infectious Disease. Given scripts to
have weekly lab surveillance for Vancomycin including
chemistries and vancomycin levels.
.
# Acute renal failure: urine lytes consistent with prerenal
cause. FeNA 1%. Given IV fluids with improvement. However did
not return to baseline at time of discharge.
.
# Altered mental status: Noted slowing and parkinsonian type
features yesterday. Sent for CT head, revealed subdural
hematomas. Seen by neurosx who felt evacuation not necessary.
Neurology consulted also completed and felt no need for
antiseizure meds at this time. Blood pressure was kept below 140
systolic and repeat CT head showed no progression. Platelets
maintained above 60 and significantly improved prior to
discharge. Parkinsonian features were not completely
attributable to small subdural hematomas. Therefore seroquel
discontinued as patient had cogwheel rigidity which can be a
side effect of seroquel.
.
# C difficile colitis: Stool C difficile toxin positive. Started
on course of flagyl for total of 14 days. However per ID
curbside, patient should be treated for four weeks along with
vancomycin. Therefore, Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] was contact[**Name (NI) **] regarding
appropriate duration of therapy in order to extend the total
course of antibiotics.
.
#Pancytopenia: [**3-5**] recent chemo and complicated by sespis. Hct
drifts downwards w/o transfusions, bone marrow not producing
retics ANC increased with Neupogen and discontinued when count
rose above 1000.
.
# Oral herpes: Treated with topical acyclovir.
.
#AIDS: Cont home ARV therapy
.
#Hyperglycemia: Insulin SS. Sugars improved as patient recovered
from sepsis.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None.
History of Present Illness:
79 yo with h/o autonomic neuropathy c/b orthostatic hypotension,
chronic foley, presents with suprapubic pain/spasma, hematuria.
The patient and his wife state that yesterday, he started to
have lower abdominal spasms. He denies dysuria, but does have a
foley placed. HIs wife noted some hematuria and small clots as
well. He has his foley changed every 3-4 weeks per his
urologist. He had a UTI in [**1-19**] with klebsiella and
pseudomonas. He denies chest pain or other abdominal pain. No
changes in his stool. He denies melena or BRBPR. He does report
some mild dyspnea. He states he felt feverish, and had some
chills. He otherwise has no other complaints.
In the ED, his vitals were 98.4, 106/57, 102, 16, 94% RA. Rectal
temp was 103.9. He transiently became hypotnesive to 77/51 while
in the ED. He has known autonomic neuropathy with hypotension,
and according to the patient, his BP does go that low at home
occasionally. He was given 1L NS with minimal effect, then given
2 more liters, but given his h/o SIADH, further NS was held. He
was then started on peripheral norepinephrine, with improvement
in his BP. He and his family refused a central line, so his
levophed was stopped, and his BP remained in the mid 90s off the
levophed. While in the ED, he had a positive UA, and was given
Vancomycin 1 gm x 1, gentamycin 80 mg x 1, and levofloxacin 750
mg x 1. At that time, he was transferred to the MICU for
urosepsis.

Brief Hospital Course:
Briefly, this is a 79 yo male with h/o autonomic neuropathy c/b
orthostatic hypotension, chronic foley, who presented with
fevers, suprapubic pain, hematuria, and hypotension. The
following problems were addressed during this hospitalization:
.
#. Sepsis: likely from urinary source. He presented with a
positive UA, suprapubic pain, fever, and hematuria, with chronic
foley. Patient has had a h/o klebsiella and pseudomonas from
previous admission on a urine culture. Hypotension was
attributed to a combined sepsis/baseline hypotension picture.
He received fluids for pressure support, and had short course of
levophed in the ED. His foley was changed in the ED. Following
d/c of the pressor, SBP remained in the mid 90s. Per the
patient, he has had 70s-90s at home and this is his baseline.
UOP and mental status was closely monitored. He was begun on
abx tx with cefepime 1 gm IV Q24. When culture sensitivities
revealed an enterobacter sensitive to ciprofloxacin, the
cefepime was d/c'd and replaced with ciprofloxacin, 750mg [**Hospital1 **]
x14 day course.
#. Hematuria. This was likely secondary to the patient's UTI.
There was no evidence of foley trauma. The foley was changed in
the ED. Hematuria was resolved by the time of transfer from the
MICU to the floor. The patient has follow up with urology
scheduled for early [**Month (only) **].
#. Autonomic neuropathy: known orthostatic hypotension. The
patient was continued on midodrine and salt tabs at his outpt
dose. He was given IVF cautiously as needed. PT was consulted
to assist him with safe ambulation, and he was able to safely
ambulate with assistance of his walker and his wife at the time
of discharge.
#. h/o SIADH: The patient's sodium remained wnl during the
extent of his hospital course. It was noted that SIADH has lead
to delerium in the past; no such delirium was noted during this
hospitalization.
# Pancytopenia. This patient has a history of pancytopenia
which had spontaneously resolved in [**2173**], however, he was noted
to be thrombocytopenic and anemic throughout this
hospitalization. Further, while his leukocytes were within the
typical normal range, given the extent of his bacteremia, he was
noted to have a relative leukocytopenia with a peak WBC count of
6.2. All heparin products were held for the last three days of
his hospital stay given the platelet nadir at 95,000. The
recurrence of pancytopenia is recommended for outpatient follow
up with is PCP and referral to a hematologist as necessary.

Service: Cardiology
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is an 86 year old male with
a past medical history of lung cancer, status post
pneumonectomy, abdominal aortic aneurysm, aortic valve
disease, history of peptic ulcer disease who presents with
shortness of breath and chest pain two days prior to
admission. The patient states that three days prior to
admission he had difficulty sleeping secondary to general
discomfort, difficulty lying flat, secondary to shortness of
breath, and some stuttering right-sided chest pain. However,
the patient was unable to sleep through the night. One day
prior to admission, during the night again, the patient had
more difficulty sleeping secondary to worsening shortness of
breath when lying flat and more frequent episodes of
right-sided chest pain. He states that he sat up in bed for
most of the night and could not sleep at all the night prior
to admission. He denies any nausea or vomiting, no
diaphoresis, no palpitations. The day of admission, the
patient states that after returning from the grocery store
the patient thought he was going to collapse. He states his
whole body felt weak, extremely short of breath and he noted
a small amount of hemoptysis. The patient presented to the
Emergency Room in a taxi cab. In the Emergency Room, the
patient was noted to be short of breath, he was speaking in
short sentences. His respiratory rate was 36 and oxygen
saturation was 71% on room air. His blood pressure at that
time was 164/103. His heartrate was 126. He was noted to
have coarse breathsounds throughout. The patient was placed
on 100% nonrebreather face mask. Electrocardiogram showed a
sinus tachycardia to 115 with some J point elevations in
leads V2 through V3 as well as incomplete left bundle branch
block. He was given Lasix 80 mg intravenously times two,
nitroglycerin drip was started and he was also given some
Morphine 2 mg intravenously and Lopressor 2.5 mg
intravenously times two. In the Emergency Room his
creatinine kinase was 1209 with an MBI of 19, troponin was
2.7. The patient was started on heparin. His blood pressure
decreased to 115/70. The patient was unable to wean off of
100% nonrebreather mask. The chest x-ray was consistent with
pulmonary edema. After receiving the Lasix in the Emergency
Room, the patient was feeling much better. The patient has
denied shortness of breath and denies chest pain.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Lung cancer, status post partial
pneumonectomy. Abdominal aortic aneurysm. History of peptic
ulcer disease. Aortic valve disease. Gout.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Aspirin
2. Lipitor
3. Allopurinol
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: No tobacco use, no alcohol use. The patient
lives with his daughter in the [**Name (NI) 1426**] [**Name (NI) 26498**].
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Physical examination on admission
revealed temperature 98.2, heartrate 81, blood pressure
110/71, respiratory rate 32, oxygen saturation was 95% on
100% nonrebreather facemask. In general the patient appeared
comfortable, lying in bed at an angle of 30 degrees on a
nonrebreather mask. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: His
right pupil was cloudy. His left pupil reactive to light.
Sclerae anicteric. Oropharynx clear. Moist mucous membranes.
Cardiovascular examination: Regular rate and rhythm, he has
a normal S1 and S2. No murmurs, rubs or gallops audible.
His abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended with active
bowel sounds. His lungs, coarse breathsounds throughout.
Extremities, no edema.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission his white blood cell count was
13.1, hematocrit 35.9, platelets 153. His MCV was 110,
sodium 141, potassium 4.8, chloride 107, bicarbonate 20, BUN
54, creatinine 3.8, and glucose 257. His creatinine kinase
on admission was 1209 with an MB of 328, MB index of 19 and
troponin of 2.71. Urinalysis on admission: Yellow, clear,
1.025, 100 protein, 0-2 red blood cells, 3 white blood cells,
rare bacteria, [**3-27**] epithelial cells. Chest x-ray showed a
pulmonary edema with a left pleural effusion.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the Medical
Floor after his respiratory status improved after receiving
Lasix in the Emergency Department. Over night the patient
remained stable, however, the next morning the patient was
noted to be more hypotensive and to be in increasing
respiratory distress. In addition, the patient had a
traumatic Foley catheter insertion and developed some
significant hematuria. The Urology Service was consulted and
the patient was started on continuous bladder irrigation with
resolution of the hematuria. Due to his worsening
respiratory status, the patient was taken immediately to
catheterization for evaluation of possible blockage, given
that the patient ruled in for myocardial infarction. The
patient was then transferred to the Intensive Care Unit post
catheterization. Catheterization showed left main coronary
artery disease with a 20% ostial stenosis. Left anterior
descending artery has a 90% mid stenosis involving D2, as
well as 60% ostial/proximal stenosis. There was also 80%
left circumflex stenosis and 80% proximal right coronary
artery stenosis. PTCA and stenting was performed during
catheterization, on the left circumflex and on the mid left
anterior descending. During the catheterization,
the patient was emergently intubated for worsening
respiratory status. It was thought the patient was in
cardiogenic shock secondary to an anterolateral myocardial
infarction. The patient was started on Dopamine drip. He
was also started on Natrecor drip to diurese.
In the Intensive Care Unit the patient was noted to have
acute renal failure with creatinine increasing to 5.1. It
was thought this likely secondary to the dye load from the
catheterization in the setting of chronic renal
insufficiency. The patient was also noted to have a
temperature spike to 101 degrees F. The patient received
Vancomycin times one and was started on Levofloxacin and
Flagyl. The patient was slowly weaned off of Dopamine and
extubated on [**2199-11-22**]. The patient was continued on
a heparin drip on transfer to CCU. The patient developed a
hematocrit drop from 35.9 to 27 to 23. The heparin was
discontinued and the patient was transfused 2 units of red
blood cells with improvement of his hematocrit to 30.8 prior
to transfer out of the Intensive Care Unit. While in the
unit the patient continued to demonstrate congestive heart
failure. The patient was treated with Hydralazine and
Isordil as well as Lasix intravenously prn urine output. The
patient had a renal ultrasound which documented no
hydronephrosis bilaterally. The ultrasound did show that the
renal cortices were thin and that the kidneys were overall
small in size suggestive of some element of chronic renal
disease. The patient was transferred out of the Intensive
Care Unit on [**2199-11-25**]. At the time of transfer, the
patient was afebrile, his heart rate was 93, his blood
pressure was 124/55. Respiratory rate was 18 and he was
sating 95% on 4 liters nasal cannula oxygen. In terms of his
cardiovascular disease, the patient was continued on his
Aspirin, Plavix, statin as well as Carvedilol on transfer to
the Medicine Floor. The patient remained chest pain free
throughout the remainder of the hospital stay. In terms of his
congestive heart failure, the patient was noted to have an
ejection fraction of less than 15% with global severe
hypokinesis to akinesis. He appeared euvolemic on transfer to the
Medical Floor, however, he was noted to have some coarse crackles
at the base bilaterally. The patient was diuresed with Lasix
intravenously. In addition, the patient's Hydralazine was
increased to 25 t.i.d. with a goal dose being 75 mg p.o.
t.i.d. He was also continued on his Isosorbide which was
increased to 20 mg t.i.d. with a goal dose being 40 t.i.d.
The medications were increased as blood pressure permitted
with a goal systolic blood pressure of greater than 90.
Given the patient's decreased ejection fraction, the patient
should have an electrophysiology consult as an outpatient
regarding implantable cardioverter defibrillator placement.
Concerning the patient's renal failure, his acute renal
failure was secondary to dye load during catheterization and
was noted to improve from a creatinine 5.2 on transfer to 3.6
prior to discharge. The patient was able to maintain good
urine output throughout the remainder of the hospitalization.
It was felt that this renal function would likely continue to
improve. In terms of his fluids, electrolytes and nutrition,
the patient was continued on pureed, soft/solid diet and
slowly advanced to solids, 2 gm sodium-restricted diet. The
patient was also continued on Boost t.i.d. per Nutrition
recommendations. The patient was noted to become
hypernatremic and slightly hyperchloremic with Lasix diuresis
and Lasix was appropriately decreased. The patient was also
encouraged to drink free water.
In addition during the hospital stay the patient was noted to
have increased blood sugars that were likely secondary to the
stress of acute illness. He was maintained on insulin
sliding scale after transferred out of the Intensive Care
Unit to the Medical Floor. The patient's blood sugars should
be followed and the patient may need to be started on oral
hypoglycemic agents in the future if his blood sugar does not
improve.
By [**2199-11-27**], the patient's mental status had much
improved, respiratory status was stable, his creatinine was
improving and it was thought the patient was stable for
transfer for further rehabilitation and physical therapy at
[**Hospital3 **].

History of Present Illness:
This is an 81 year old gentleman with a past history of coronary
artery disease (CAD), status-post coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) (SVG to OM, SVG to RCA and LIMA, [**7-/2140**]) who
underwent elective right total hip replacement on [**2144-8-25**]. His
post-operative course was complicated by anginal symptoms during
physical therapy ([**2144-8-26**]). The patient was noted to have
dynamic ECG changes and CK 667, MB 12, Trop 0.11. Conservative
management, including heparin was initiated, with plan for
possible catheterization and some future point. Over the course
of the day, the patient remained borderline hypotensive and was
noted to have a decrease in urine output. Urine electrolytes
suggested a pre-renal etiology. The patient received several
litre boluses on the floor.
Subsequently, the patient continued to have low blood pressures
and was transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], where he continued to received
IV fluid boluses. He was later found to have a fall in his
hematocrit from 29 to 24 and was transfused 2 units PRBC. The
patient continued to become progressively hypotensive to
systolic in 50s, despite running saline through 2 IVs as well as
PRBCs through a third. He became progressively distressed,
diaphoretic, and began complaining of substernal chest
discomfort. Code blue was called and patient was intubated.
Prior to intubation, patient had a large emesis that he was
witnessed to aspirate. He received a total of 9 litres fluid,
and had progressively escalating vasopressor requirement,
needing maximum doses of first dopamine, then neosynephrine,
then levophed. This maintained his blood pressure in systolic of
90s. ECG initially was similar to prior tracings earlier in the
day, but the patient subsequently evolved a rhythm that appeared
to be accelerated idioventricular with RBBB morphology.
Cardiology was called and bedside echocardiogram was performed.
This demonstrated some focal wall motion abnormality and
possibly some evidence of right-heart strain. Bedside LENIs were
obtained to assess for source of possible source of PE, and
these were negative. Decision was made to transfer the patient
to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for further evaluation
and management.

Cardiac cath #1 on [**2144-8-27**]:
COMMENTS:
1. Selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system
revealed three vessel coronary disease. The LMCA had a 50% in
the midsegment. The LAD had a mid-vessel occlusion with a 70%
diag1 lesion. The proximal LCX had a 60% lesion, a 70% mid
lesion and an 80% OM1 stenosis with diffuse disease noted. The
RCA was not engaged but was known to be occluded.
2. Selective conduit arteriogrpahy revealed a patent LIMA to LAD
with good collaterals to the RCA.
3. Venous conduit angiography was not performed as the SVG to
RCA and SVG to OM were known to be occluded from prior cardiac
catheterization.
4. Resting hemodynamics revealed systemic hypotension with SBP
of 109 mmHg on three IV pressor agents. Right sided and left
sided filling pressures were elevated with RVEDP of 29 mmHg and
mean PCWP of 46 mmHg. There was pulmonary arterial hypertension
with PASP of 57 mmHg. Cardiac index was preserved with CI of
3.88 l/min/m2.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Patent LIMA to LAD.
3. Elevated right and left sided filling pressures
4. Successful insertion of IABP.
Cardiac cath #2 on [**2144-8-27**]:
COMMENTS:
1. Pulmonary angiography of the right and left pulmonary artery
demonstrated normal filling of contrast with no obvious flow
limiting pulmonary emboli.
2. Selective angiography of the abdominal arteries demonstrated
a patent celiac, superior mesenteric artery and inferior
mesenteric artery - no obvious source for mesenteric ischemia.
3. Successful placement of the Impella cardiac support unit
following successful removal of the intraortic balloon pump.
4. Towards the conclusion of the case the patient experienced
an PEA cardiac arrest and was successfully resuscitated.
5. Limited resting hemodynamics demonstrated elevated right and
left heart filling pressures along with depressed cardiac output
with an index of 1.8 L/min/m2.
6. Pt with increasing ventilator requirements with poor
oxygenation. Switched from oxygen to nitric oxide with improved
oxygenation.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. No evidence of pulmonary emboli.
2. No evidence of mesenteric emboli.
3. Cardiogenic shock requiring multiple pressors along with
placement of an Impella cardiac support pump. Removal of the
IABP.
4. PEA cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation.
Lower ext. ultrasound [**2144-8-27**]:
IMPRESSION: No deep vein thrombosis in bilateral lower
extremity. Please note that right common femoral could not be
evaluated due to line and bandages.
ECHO [**2144-9-1**]:
The left and right atrium are moderately dilated. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size.
There is mild global left ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF 45%).
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) are mildly thickened. A small vegetation on the non-coronary
leaflet cannot be fully excluded (clip #[**Clip Number (Radiology) **]). Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is mild
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2144-8-28**],
bitventricular systolic function has markedly improved and mild
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now identified. Trace
aortic regurgitation is also now seen (the aortic valve was
previously distorted and is better defined on the current
study).
Brief Hospital Course:
81 year old male with extensive cardiac hx on POD1 c/o of
CP/back pain, who came in for Right total hip repalcement and on
POD#1 from Right Total hip replacement He started having chest
pain and hypotension with ECG changed consistent with an NSTEMI.
he was started on a heparin drip and his blood pressure
medications were held. His urine output decreased and he was
transferred to the MICU. His condition continued to worsen, he
became more hypotensive and required intubation for respiratory
support. His hematocrit also dropped and he required 2 units of
blood. An ECHO showed an EF of 25% and he was taken to the cath
lab. There was no obvious cardiac lesion. A balloon pump was
placed to maintain cardiac output, he was started on pressors
and he was transferred to the CCU. He developed a fever and was
started on broad spectrum antibiotics.
He was cathed again and the intra-aortic balloon pump was
exchanged for an Impella device. There was no evidence of a
pulmonary embolism. He developed cardiogenic shock and went into
a PEA arrest requiring CPR. He had another PEA arrest a few
hours after and was again resuscitated. He required three
pressors for blood pressure support. His pressures improved and
the impella device was removed. His blood cultures grew out
Vancomycin resistant enteroccocus and he was started on
Linezolid. His swan was pulled and a PICC was placed. His blood
pressures normalized and he was weaned off of pressors. He
begain to improve and was able to be extubated. He tolerated PT
well over the next few days and was able to be tranfered to the
general medical floor. He was stable on room air at rest,
although he did require O2 (2L nasal cannula) when ambulating.
He is stable for discharge.
On discharge his Imdur and doxasosin were held. He requires
coumadin for 6 weeks for his hip replacement with an INR goal of
[**3-7**].5. He was resumed on his home medication regimine. His
staples will need to come out between [**Date range (1) **]. This can be
done at a rehabilitation hospital or PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 3726**].

FInal Report
STUDY: Carotid series complete.
FINDINGS: Duplex evaluation was performed of bilateral carotid
arteries.
There is mild plaque seen in the proximal ICAs bilaterally.
On the right, peak velocities are 90, 90, and 123 cm/sec in the
ICA, CCA, and ECA respectively. This is consistent with less
than 40% stenosis.
On the left, peak velocities are 104, 101, and 83 cm/sec in the
ICA, CCA, andECA respectively. This is consistent with less than
40% stenosis.
There is antegrade vertebral flow bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: Bilateral less than 40% carotid stenosis.
Brief Hospital Course:
This 79 year old male presented to the emergency room with a
complaint of chest pain. His EKG showed no acute changes but his
cardiac bio markers were elevated. He was admitted and
diagnostic cardiac catheterization showed severe coronary artery
disease. Cardiac surgery was consulted for evaluation for
revascularization.
He was brought to the operating room on [**2174-12-21**] and underwent
4-vessel CABG. Please see operative note for full details. The
surgery was uncomplicated and he weaned from bypass on
neosynephrine. He was transferred to the cardiac surgical ICU
post-operatively for invasive hemodynamic monitoring. He was
extubated on POD 1. He required intravenous nitroglycerine for
several days to control his blood pressure.
He was gently diuresed towards his pre-operative weight and was
transferred to the step-down floor on POD 5. He failed speech
and swallow on POD 5 and had a video-swallow study on POD 6 he
was able to take a ground solids/thin liquids diet. This was
tolerated and advanced to soft on [**12-28**].
He remained stable and was ready for transfer to rehabilitation
for further recovery prior to return home. Discharge
instructions, medications and follow up instructions were
outlined with the transfer information.

Imaging:
[**2182-9-18**] CXR - FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of [**9-12**],
there is again acute enlargement of the cardiac silhouette.
Although the retrocardiac area is poorly seen, there does appear
to be some increased opacification that would be consistent with
atelectatic change. Mild prominence of the right hilar vessels,
though no definite increase in pulmonary venous pressure is
appreciated.
.
[**2182-9-9**] TTE: EF 30%. The left atrium is mildly dilated. The
right atrium is moderately dilated. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. There is
severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
septal, anterior and distal LV akinesis. No masses or thrombi
are seen in the left ventricle. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests
an increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg).
There is no ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber
size is normal. Right ventricular systolic function is 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 moderate
thickening of the mitral valve chordae. Moderate (2+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Moderate to severe [3+] tricuspid regurgitation is
seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is a small to moderate sized pericardial effusion. There
are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
Brief Hospital Course:
89yo F w/ CAD s/p MI, Afib, DM2, transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] here w/
wide complex tachycardia and elevated CEs.
* Wide complex tachycardia: On admission, pt was thought to
have supraventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch
block. She was given adenosine; however, the adenosine did not
break rhythm. The rhythm lasted for a few hours and broke
spontaneously. The pt was hemodynamically stable during the
event. She noted only a mild discomfort in her interscapular
area. Approximately 24hr after the rhythm broke she went into
it again, w/o hemodynamic compromise or symptoms. Again, the
rhythm broke spontaneously after a few hours--metoprolol was
given during the event without apparent effect.
EP was consulted (Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was initially EP attending, then Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **]. They determined that the rhythm was actually a
narrow, monomorphic ventricular tachycadia with RBBB and an
inferior axis, likely arising in/near the septum. (Of note, the
official EKG readings in OMR do not describe the rhythm as
VT--see EKG from [**2182-9-7**] at 4:23 for an example of the VT.)
Pt had a third episode of VT, during which she was given
lidocaine with good response. Discussion was had between the
team, the pt, and the pt's family about whether the pt should
undergo an EP study or start amiodarone empirically without an
EP study. Given the patient's overall clinic picture and
wishes, amiodarone was started, no EP study was done. She was
loaded with approximately 6grams of amiodarone. She was then
continued on 200mg daily for maintenance. The patient had no
further episodes of ventricular tachycardia after starting the
amiodarone.
Of note the patient had normal thyroid & liver function prior to
starting amiodarone. She is scheduled to follow-up with Dr.
[**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] at his [**Hospital1 **] office on [**2182-10-15**] at 2:40pm. She
will likely need baseline pulmonary function tests,
ophthomalogic exam, and repeat thyroid & liver function tests.
* PEA arrest: After the patient's third episode of VT broke, she
had a severe coughing fit, and became hypoxic with 02 into the
70s. She then went into PEA arrest, presumably from hypoxia, as
no other cause was found. CPR was performed for less than 5
minutes before a spontaneous rhythm was achieved. However, the
patient was intubated given concern over her ability to proctect
her airway. The patient was intubated for less than 48hr.
* Coronary artery disease: Pt has a remote history of an MI
approximately 15yr, at which time she underwent angioplasty.
Prior to transfer to [**Hospital1 18**], she had diffuse ST elevations on EKG
at OSH. These had resolved by time of admission here. Pt was
without chest pain. CE were elevated on admission & trended
down. Her EKGs from OSH were reviewed and it was questioned
whether the ST elevations were from ischemia vs. repolarization
change or pericarditis. Given her lack of CP and overall
clinical picture, it was felt that she did not need to go for
cardiac catheterization. She was continued on her statin. Her
b-blocker (coreg) was given until she was started on amiodarone,
at which time it was stopped due to bradycardia occasionally
into the 40s (without symptoms). She is being discharged off of
coreg. Caution should be used with b-blockers given she has
first degree AV block and is on amiodarone. The pt refuses
aspirin due to prior bleeding with it.
* Atrial fibrillation: Rate controlled with amiodarone. Coreg
discontinued due to bradycardia (hr 40-50s on amio). Coumadin
dose decreased to 1.5mg daily (from 2.5mg) after starting
amiodarone. INR on day of discharge was 2. This should be
rechecked on [**2182-9-20**] and coumadin adjusted as necessary.
* Congestive heart failure: acute on chronic systolic heart
failure. Echo during this stay showed an EF of 30% with
moderate mitral regurgitation moderate to severe tricuspid
regurgitation. She was diuresed with IV lasix as necessary and
continued on home dose of lasix 20mg daily. On day of
discharge, pt received a dose of 20mg IV lasix for slight volume
overload. Her aldactone (25mg daily) was also restarted on
[**2182-9-18**]. An ACEi or [**Last Name (un) **] was not started during this hospital
stay due to relatively low BP (90-100); though pt would likely
benefit from one of these agents in future.
* Cough: Pt had a dry cough on admission, which ecame more
severe during hospital stay. No clear pneumonia on imaging. Pt
thought to likely have viral lower respiratory tract infection.
She was treated with standing anti-tussives and ipratropium
nebulizer (avoided albuterol because of arrythmias). If cough
persists, consider further evaluation with her primary care
doctor.
* Acute renal failure: pt had episode of pre-renal failure early
in her hospital stay that was thought to be from dehydration.
Baseline crt unknown, though was as low as 1.2 and peaked at
1.5. Discharge crt 1.2.
* LE ulcers: stable & appear to healing slowly. Pt received 7d
course of abx for possible infection of LE ulcer. Pt has two
ulcers, one on left leg & the other on the R leg.
Left lower leg is a traumatic ulcer approx 1.5 x 1 cm. The
wound bed is 80% pink, 20% yellow. The wound edges are
irregular. The periwound tissue is intact with resolving
cellulitis. Right lower extremity full thickness ulcer is
present on anterior tibialis, approx 7 x 5.5 cm, and the wound
bed is 60% yellow, 20% black, 20% pink. There is a moderate
amount of serosanguinos yellow drainage with no odor. The
periwound tissue is discolored, dark purple. Pt seen by wound
care nurse and plastic surgery.
* DM: type II, on low dose glipizide at home. Was treated with
insulin sliding scale. Sugars well controlled. [**Month (only) 116**] continue
insulin sliding scale at rehab; however, pt can likely resume
home regimen in near future.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Ascites, scrotal swelling, shortness of
breath and lower extremity edema.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 55 year old male with
infarction times two, status post four vessel coronary artery
bypass graft in [**2135-3-6**], hypercholesterolemia,
hypertension, and congestive heart failure, who reports he
has had increased swelling of his abdomen and legs with
swelling of the scrotum which has progressed over two to
three weeks' time. He also has had associated and frequent
shortness of breath and inability to move.
He was transferred from [**Hospital1 **] [**Hospital1 **] where he was
admitted on the [**3-9**]. There, he was
assumed to have biventricular failure as the cause of his
edema. He received Zaroxolyn and Bumex, but his BUN and
creatinine elevated. An abdominal ultrasound showed
splenomegaly and a renal consult thought patient was
pre-renal and therefore, the patient's diuresis was withheld
except for Spironolactone. ACE inhibitor was held as well.
A cardiac ultrasound was attempted but the study was limited
by obesity and Cardiology there recommended a MUGA Scan which
showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 60%, good
biventricular function.
A paracentesis was done on [**1-11**], of two liters. The
studies showed 400 white blood cells, 520 red blood cells, no
polys, 41 lymphocytes, 59 monocytes, glucose 126, total
protein 3.9, LDH 110 and Enterococci grew out which was
treated with Ampicillin one gram q. eight hours. For a
hematocrit of 25 he was transfused two units of packed red
blood cells. Repeat paracentesis on [**1-13**] drew off
five liters; this was done only for the patient's comfort and
no studies were sent.
A BUN and creatinine on discharge were 127 and 3.8.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs were 97.9 F.; 140/72; 56;
20; 97 on room air; 170 kilograms. On examination, the
patient was in no apparent distress. Oropharynx clear.
Mucous membranes were moist. Heart showed regular rate and
rhythm. Normal S1, S2. Lungs were clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Abdomen was soft, nontender, distended with
splenomegaly. Extremities with two plus edema bilaterally.
LABORATORY: Chem 7 as follows: 137, 5.7, 102, 27, 127, 3.8,
153 glucose. Calcium 8.9, iron 53, TIBC 298, hemoglobin A1C
7.3, TSH 17.
Ascites with Enterococci sensitive to Ampicillin and
sensitive to Vancomycin.
HOSPITAL COURSE: This is a 55 year old male with a history
of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, significant coronary
artery disease, but good ejection fraction on a recent MUGA
scan, obesity, hypertension, and lower extremity edema with
shortness of breath times two to three weeks. He had his
first paracentesis in an outside hospital recently with
unclear etiology of his edema.
A Cardiology consultation was obtained and a repeat
echocardiogram was done to work-up the cause of his edema.
This study was extremely limited and the left ventricular
ejection fraction could not be estimated, but the systolic
function of the left ventricle did not seem to be severely
depressed. The right ventricle was not well seen. Thickened
aortic and mitral leaflets, and a right ventriculogram could be
done if further quantification was to be done.
In addition, the patient had an ultrasound of his right upper
quadrant to determine whether flow was abnormal. This showed
a diffusely increased echogenicity in the liver consistent
with fatty liver. Portal venous flow with hepatopetal
direction and a normal hepatic reflow. The spleen was mildly
enlarged. There were mild ascites but no other abnormality
on this ultrasound.
The patient had paracentesis of five liters of fluid in-house
which was clear and yellow. The fluid showed 310 white blood
cells, total protein of 3.2, albumin of 1.7, glucose 162, LDH
100, amylase 26, gram stain negative and a culture was
pending.
Hepatitis serologies were also sent to determine whether
there was some evidence of liver dysfunction accounted by
Hepatitis. HIV negative, Hepatitis B surface antibody
negative.
The patient was maintained on a cardiac low-salt diet of less
than 2 grams per day and diuretics were initially held
secondary to the question of prerenal azotemia. The Renal
Service was consulted regarding this patient and acute renal
failure was thought to be secondary to ACE inhibitors plus
diuretics plus/minus infection, with the intention to restart
Bumex 2 twice a day once the patient's creatinine reached its
baseline.
A right heart catheterization was performed while the patient
was in-house to find the etiology of his symptoms as well as
transfer to Liver biopsy. The catheterization showed
equalization of pressures consistent with a constrictive
physiology. He was aggressively diuresed with Lasix
overnight while in the Cardiac Care Unit. The patient had
increased right and left heart pressures as well as
cirrhosis. He was continued on a regimen of Lasix 40 twice a
day and Aldactone 100 q. day, aiming for minus 1.5 liters off
per day. It was decided that creatinine could be tolerated
as high as 2.5. There were no further recommendations from
renal at this time, and the patient was cleared for
discharge. Ampicillin was also given in-house while the
patient had an Enterococcus in his prior peritoneal fluid.

Admitted to MICU on [**2132-4-20**], and transferred back to
C-Medicine on [**2132-4-26**].
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 74 year old
female with a past medical history of 4+ mitral
regurgitation, severe bronchiectasis after childhood
pertussis, [**Doctor First Name **], pulmonary infection and chronic resistant
pseudomonas colonization of her lungs, who presented to the
MICU for increasing hypoxemia. The patient has a complicated
recent past medical history for issues of fatigue and
dyspnea. She has been followed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 6770**] and Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 120**]. She recently had a DDD pacer placed, followed by
arterial blood gases, noted ablation on [**2132-3-6**], for
supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation/atrial
flutter, started on Amiodarone, did not improve
significantly. She was diuresed with Lasix and also started
on chemotherapy for [**Doctor First Name **] on [**2132-3-31**], without improvement
after this diuresis and pacer. She was anticoagulated for
her atrial flutter. Two to three days prior to arrival to
the hospital, she began having worsening shortness of breath,
intermittent chest pain, came into the Emergency Department
and was given a liter of normal saline due to decreased
sodium, and admitted to C-Medicine to rule out for myocardial
infarction. She was initially saturating decently in the 80s
in room air, actually up to 96% on three liters. Her hypoxia
gradually worsened. She had a blood gas of 7.43/43/71 and was
transferred to the MICU for hypoxemia.

were unremarkable. Her white blood cell count was 17.3,
hematocrit 37.3. Her coagulation studies showed an INR of
3.8 and partial thromboplastin time of 31.0. Her troponin
was less than 0.3 times two. CKs were 58 and 55. She had had
numerous microdata in the past from [**2132-4-19**]. She had a
urinalysis which showed no signs of infection.
Her chest x-ray on admission showed worsening right upper
lobe infiltrate, bilateral chronic lung changes.
HOSPITAL COURSE: While in the Intensive Care Unit, the
patient was gently diuresed and nearly intubated initially.
However, she was started on BiPAP ventilation which in
combination with diuresis improved her respiratory status and
she avoided intubation. She received a repeat echocardiogram
which showed mainly a decreased ejection fraction of 35% and
newly found left ventricular hypokinesis and akinesis in
essentially all areas except for the base of the heart. She
still had 4+ mitral regurgitation and flail leaflet.
The patient also had consultation from endocrinology for a
relatively low TSH although within normal range. Her other
thyroid functions were checked and she was deemed not to be
in thyrotoxicosis. The patient had her Vitamin D level
checked which was within normal limits.
In terms of infectious disease, the patient was initially on
[**Doctor First Name **] and antipseudomonas coverage. Her antipseudomonas
coverage was discontinued when her respiratory failure was
viewed to be more attributed to her cardiovascular fluid
status. The patient's white blood cell count remained
elevated but stable at around 16.0. Her differential did not
show bandemia. This white blood cell count remained stable
even after cessation of antibiotics.
Her [**Doctor First Name **] treatment was stopped as well secondary to risks
being greater than benefit in terms of affecting her
transaminases. While in the unit, the patient's Amiodarone
was stopped and an attempt to overdrive pacer atria was
attempted and failed. Cardioversion was considered but
ultimately deemed not prudent at this time.
The patient's hematocrit remained stable while in the unit.
During evaluation, the patient's liver function tests were
noted to be normal. She had elevated transaminases and
alkaline phosphatase. Her ASTs were in the 1000s and ALTs in
the [**2128**]. After cessation of her [**Doctor First Name **] chemotherapy, her
liver enzymes resolved on a daily basis although still are
above the normal range.
On [**2132-4-26**], the patient was deemed stable to be transferred
to the C-Medicine unit under telemetry. She was actually
deemed stable for transfer one to two days before this. The
ultimate plan for the patient is to have her undergo a right
and left cardiac catheterization fairly in close proximity to
possible cardiac surgery and mitral valve repair. There is
some delay in proceeding with this course as the surgical and
cardiac services want the patient's liver function tests to
resolve and they are following her white blood cell count.
The patient also was seen by physical therapy while in the
Intensive Care Unit and had great difficulty with simple
movements such as getting from bed to chair as she was felt
to be quite deconditioned at this point.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable and improved from admission
to the MICU.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 50388**] was admitted to the Crimson Colorectal Surgery
Service after transport from ED and was evaluated as a candidate
for colostomy and colectomy. He was placed on telemetry, and
was kept NPO with intravenous administration of linezolid,
metronidazole, levofloxacin, and fluconazole. On HD 2, he
underwent CT-guided placement of a pigtail catheter in his left
lower abdominal quadrant and drainage of 50 cc from the
recurrent iliopsoas abscess; cultures subsequently revealed
pseudomonas, coagulase negative staph aureus, and probable
enterococcus. He was restarted on a regular diet on HD 3. On
HD 5, the patient spiked a fever to 103.6, with tachycardia to
the 80's, occasional PVC's, and hypotension (SPB 100-120). He
was immediately transferred to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit;
subsequent blood culture grew enterococcus in 1 of 3 bottles.
Cardiology work-up on HD 6 revealed an evolving apical MI. At
this time, the patient was deemed an inappropriate surgical
candidate and his surgery was cancelled. He was transferred off
the SICU on HD 6 with continued drainage of fluid from his
pigtail catheter. The drain was repositioned by IR on HD 8, and
upsized on HD 12 to expedite drainage. The patient will be
discharged to [**Hospital **] Rehabilitation on HD 14 with a PICC line
for long-term IV antibiotic administration.

Admission Date: [**2159-3-18**] Discharge Date: [**2159-3-24**]
Date of Birth: [**2159-3-18**] Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY: Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname **] [**Known lastname 6955**], delivered at 37-0/7 weeks
gestation with a birth weight of 3175 grams and was admitted
to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit from labor and delivery
for management of respiratory distress.
Mother is a 30 year-old gravida II, para I, now II mother
with estimated date of delivery of [**2159-4-8**]. Prenatal
screens included blood type A positive, antibody screen
negative, RPR nonreactive, Rubella immune, hepatitis B
surface antigen, and group B strep negative. The pregnancy
was uncomplicated. She presented in labor with ruptured
membranes. There was a rapid second stage. There was no
maternal fever, a fetal tachycardia. Membranes were ruptured
for clear fluid around 4 hours prior to delivery. The
delivery was by spontaneous vaginal delivery with a loose
nuchal cord. The infant emerged vigorous with a good cry.
Apgar scores were 9 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes. Around
1/2 hour of age he developed grunting that improved for a
short time and then reoccurred prompting this admission to
the Newborn Intensive Care Nursery.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission weight 3175 grams (75th
to 90th percentile), length 50 cm (75th to 90th percentile).
Head circumference 33.5 cm (50th to 75th percentile). On
examination a term appropriate for gestational age male with
grunting and retracting. Pink with free flow oxygen. Anterior
fontanelle soft, flat, nondysmorphic. Intact palate. Breath
sounds with poor aeration, mild retracting. Intermittent
grunting. Regular rate and rhythm with soft murmur, normal
pulses and perfusion. Abdomen soft, with a 3 vessel cord. No
hepatosplenomegaly. Normal male genitalia with testes
descended bilaterally. Patent anus. No hip clicks. No sacral
dimple. Normal tone and activity.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS: RESPIRATORY: The
infant was initially on free flow oxygen on admission. Due to
persistent oxygen requirement and grunting was placed on
continuous positive airway pressure, 5 cm requiring around
25% oxygen with decrease in his retracting and grunting.
Around 24 hours of age he was intubated for worsening
respiratory distress associated with a left sided pneumothorax.
This was treated with needle thoracentesis. The patient received
a total of 2 doses ofsurfactant for respiratory distress syndrome
and was extubated around 44 hours of age to a nasal cannula. He
weaned to room air on day of life 4 and has remained in room air
since with a comfortable work of breathing, respiratory rates in
the 30s to 50s.
CARDIOVASCULAR: He has been hemodynamically stable throughout
hospital stay. A murmur was noted on admission that was
resolved by day of life 3. At discharge there is no murmur.
His heart rate ranges in the 140s to 160s. A recent blood
pressure was 74/51 with a mean of 50.
FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: He was initially NPO and
maintained on IV fluid. He started feeds after extubation on
day of life 2 and ad lib feeding with Enfamil 20, breast milk
or is breast feeding when mother visits. [**Name2 (NI) **] is doing well on
feeds, wetting and stooling appropriately. Discharge weight: 3005
Length: 21 inches Head circumference: 33.5 cm
GASTROINTESTINAL: Peak bilirubin was total 5.5, direct .3.
HEME: Hematocrit on admission 42.7%.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE: A CBC and blood culture was drawn on
admission due to respiratory distress. He was placed on
Ampicillin and Gentamicin. He received it for 48 hours with a
normal CBC. Blood culture was negative. Respiratory distress
was due to surfactant deficiency. No infection.
NEUROLOGIC: Examination was age appropriate.
SENSORY: Hearing screening was performed with automated
auditory brain stem responses. Baby passed both ears.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable term infant, feeding well.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Discharged home with parents. Name of
primary pediatrician is Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 11894**] Shaft at [**Hospital **] Pediatrics.
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS: FEEDS: Ad lib feeds with breast
feeding or bottle feeding per mom's desire.
MEDICATIONS: None.
CAR SEAT POSITION SCREENING: Pending.
STATE NEWBORN SCREEN: Was done on [**2159-3-21**] and is
pending.
IMMUNIZATIONS RECEIVED:

Ceftriaxone 1g q24H with plan to add Vancomycin if clinical
deterioration. He did not require pressors or central line
placement. As BPs improved to > 100mmHg systolic, patient was
transefered to medical floor for further management. He was
noted to have a urine culture positive to Proteus and sensitive
to cephalosporins. He was initially started on Cefpodoxime but
was then changed to cefuroxime as the mirco-organism was
sensitive to this. Per discussion with family, his mental
status returned to baseline by HD#3. He was discharged on 200mg
[**Hospital1 **] of cefpodoxime for an additional 7 days, which may be
switched to 250mg [**Hospital1 **] of Cefuroxime for an additional 7 days if
permitted by pharmacy supplies. His Blood cultures will require
follow up at [**Hospital1 18**], as they were pending at time of discharge.
He will also require follow up of CBC and LFTs due to start of
the cephalosporin.
# Atrial Fibrillation with RVR: In the setting of sepsis and
fever, was felt to be a compensatory rather than primary
cardiac, although patient has not received Diltiazem for 5 days
due to reported hypotension at nursing home. Given IV fluids as
above. Started on 30mg TID Diltiazem dosing and a Diltiazem
gtt. Diltiazem was uptitrated to 60mg QID upon discharge from
ICU and patient remained stable on this during floor stay with
HR in 70-90 range. This may be uptightrated back to 75mg QID as
HR and BP tolerate.
.
He was not on anticoagulation (stopped after recent admission
with epistaxis as per discussion with PCP). Given CHADs score
of 3, this was readressed with PCP and was noted that he had
frequent falls at NH, thus would not be a good candidate for
coumadin at this time. He was started on 81mg ASA daily for
primary prevention of CVA and CAD.
# Acute Renal Failure and Mild Hypernatremia: Initially some
concern for pre-renal as pt appeared dry, vs possible ATN in
setting of prolonged hypotension at NH. Baseline creat 1.1. FeNa
= 1.5 initially suggestive of a likely intrinsic renal
pathology, however Fena was 0.3% on HD3, thus not as reliable.
Cr improved to 1.3 from peak of 2.5 on HD#5. Patient was
provied with IVF resuscitation with D5W given hypernatremia to
147. All medications were renally dosed. Na at time of
discharge was 141.
# Anemia: Hct 30.7 and at baseline. Guaiac negative on
admission. Last Fe studies from [**2146**], consistent w/ Fe
defficiency anemia, however anemia is macrocytic and patient on
B12 supplementation. TSH was wnl. This will require outpatient
follow up with B12, Folate measurements. Patient was continued
on iron.
# Troponin leak: Patient had troponins of 0.07 in the past and
noted to have 0.04-0.05 in setting of ARF. Likely a leak in
setting of rapid rate. Enzymes were trended and rate control
was pursued as above.
# Aspiration risk. Patient noted to have bibasilar
opacifications on CXR preliminary read on [**2147-4-10**] concerning for
possible aspiration. He was evaluated by speech and swallow,
including video swallow, which did not note overt aspiration,
but deemed high risk due to penetration and however was
recommended PO diet of nectar thick liquids and soft solids with
1:1 supervision, with crushed pills in pure.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Primary: Urosepsis, Atrial fibrillatin with rapid ventricular
response.
Secondary: Alzhemier's disease, Atrial fibrillation, Anemia,
Dysphagia
Discharge Condition:
Stable, normal heart rate and normal blood pressure.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] with low blood pressure
(hypotension), urinary tract infection (UTI) and high heart rate
(atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response). You
hypotension was felt to be due to a severe UTI (urosepsis).
Your high heart rate was felt to be due to the infection as well
as not having received your diltiazem at the nursing home.
For your infection, you were treated with intravenous fluids and
antibiotics in the intensive care unit. You improved
significantly and your medicaion was switched to be be taken by
mouth. Your blood pressure returned to [**Location 213**]. For you high
heart rate, you were treated with fluids and your cardizem was
restarted. With this treatment, your heart rate improved
significantly.
Due to your atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke, you were
started on a low dose aspirin, 81mg daily.
Because of your dementia, you were also evaluated by our speech
and swallow specialists. Because of possible aspiration, you
were advised with a diet of nectar thick liquids and soft
solids, with your medications crushed with puree. You may take
occasional regular soid foods with supervision.
The following changes were made to your medications:
- Started Aspirin 81mg daily
- Started on Cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily for 7 days, this may
be switched to Cefuroxime 250mg twice daily for 7 days if
preferred by rehabiliation staff.
- Restarted on Diltiazem at 60mg four times daily.
Should you experience any further lower blood pressures,
confusion, fevers, chills, changes in urination, bleeding with
stool, shortness of breath, or any other symptom concerning to
you, please call your primary care doctor or go to the emergency

Brief Hospital Course:
61-year old man with known hypertension, hypercholesterolemia,
recent arthroscopic knee surgery presents with being found
unresponsive with no verbal output and no spontaneous movement
on right, currently exam notable for not following any commands,
non-verbal, inattentive to right, with right facial droop and
hemiparesis. Head CT from OSH shows possible left MCA
hyperdense sign and hypodensity in L MCA territory all
consistent with L MCA infarct.
inital CT scan demonstrated extensive left middle cerebral
artery distribution infarct, without evidence of hemorrhage at
this time. Complete occlusion of left internal carotid artery
along its entire course, from the carotid bifurcation to the
left MCA, with extensive clot burden. Near complete occlusion of
left M1 and M2 branches, reconstituted more peripherally. Very
minimal flow in the left M1 segment via the circle of [**Location (un) 431**].
Atherosclerotic disease at the right carotid bifurcation, with
minimal stenosis.
Patient was admitted to the Neuro ICU as no step-down beds
available and patient will
need close monitoring for airway protection and possible
hemorrhagic conversion or edema of potentially large infarct.
Patient was kept on telemetry and stabalized.
-
A follow up head CT 2 days later showed. Further evolution of
left MCA infarct, with slight increase in mass effect on the
anterior [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the left lateral ventricle. No herniation.
Then the following day a CT demonstrated: Continued evolution of
a left middle cerebral artery territorial infarct. Mild mass
effect on the frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the left lateral ventricle is
unchanged. No evidence of transtentorial herniation. No
hemorrhage detected.
MI was ruled out with negative cardiac enzymes.
Patient was started on Aspirin 325 mg PO daily. On [**2114-7-11**]
patient was started on coumadin with an aspirin bridge. Patient
was started on coumadin 5 mg PO daily. Goal [**1-31**]. Patient's PCP's

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is an 84 yo female with PMH of DM, resident of a
nursing home, who presented to [**Hospital3 4107**] after being found
at her nursing home with periods of unresponsiveness of facial
twitching. Per her daughter, she was talking and in her normal
state of health at her evening meal on [**6-6**]. She had a repeat
of these periods at [**Hospital1 **]. Per report, there was no
generalized tonic-clonic component but possibly some tonic head
turning and upper extremity shaking. There, she was also noted
to be hypotensive with systolic BP in the 80s and as low as 50/p
and hypothermic to 95. She was intubated for airway protection
in the setting of possible status and also for hypotension. She
had a negative head CT as well as a CT thorax which was
unremarkable. She was given phosphenytoin, vancomycin 1g,
possibly levo, ativan, cerebryx and sent to [**Hospital1 18**] because there
was no neurologist there.
.
She has had a big decline over the past year cognitively. She
suffered a fall last year and has since been in a nursing
facility. She has had dementia diagnosed. She also has had two
heel ulcers in the last year, the latest over the past four
months last requiring antibiotics 2 months ago. She has also
lost 15lb in the last 2 months with decreased appetite.
.
Initial vitals in the ED:
T 95 HR 73 110/60 RR18 intubated, sedated with
fentanyl/versed, on dopamin (10-15mcg). Her pupils were
reactive and her neck supple. She was noted to have pyuria >
50, + nitrite, WBC 20 with 90% neutrophils, and a heel ulcer
that looked infected. Cefepime was added to the vanc she
already had. An IJ was attempted for access, but was not
successful, so a right femoral line was placed. She was given
2L IVF rapidly, but her SBP remained in the 80s if the dopa was
taken off. They did however get her dopa down to 5mcg with the
fluid and reduction of her sedation. Neurology was consulted
who recommended keppra 1g IV. Her lactate was 1.5, down to 0.7
on repeat. ABG showed pH 7.40/34/312.
.
Upon arrival, she is on 7.5mcg of dopa.

CT head from [**Hospital1 **]:
There is no evidence for midline shift. There is no CT evidence
for an acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage or for
hydrocephalus. Moderate white matter disease and volume loss
are identified. The sinuses, mastoids and orbits appear normal.
There is no evidence for an acute fracture or malalignment.
Impression:
There are no acute concerning abnormalities.
.
CT chest/abd/pelvis from [**Hospital1 **]:
There is no evidence for aortic dissection or for a pericardial
effusion on these noncontrast images. It is not possilbe to
assess for pulmonary embolus on these noncontrast images. The
tip of the endotracheal tube is approximately 3.5cm above the
carina. There is no signficant adenopathy. There is probable
atelectasis/scar in the lungs. There is a small right pleural
effusion. Tehre is no pneumothorax. Degenerative change i
identified in the spine. There is no evidence for acute
fracture or malalignment.
There has been a cholecystecomy. there is no evidence for
pancreatitis. There is no evidence for renal calcifications or
for hydronephrosis. The urteters appear normal in caliber where
visualized. Hypodenisities in the kidney are too small to
definitiely characterize although statistically they most likely
represent benign cysts. there is a large amount of stool in the
rectosigmoid colon suggesive of constipation. there is no
significant bowel dilation. Bowel evaluation is limited on
these noncontrast images. No bowel mass is seen. Degenerative
change is identified in the spoine. There is no evidence for
acute fracture or malalignment. there is no evidence for
abdominal or pelvic adneopathy by CT size criteria.
Impression:
There is a large amount of stool in the rectosigmoid colon
suggestive of constipation. There is a small right pleural
effusion. There is no pneurmothorax.
.
CXR [**2197-6-6**]:
endotracheal 2.7 cmabove
advanced OG tube
gastric distension
streaky opacity likely atelectasis
no consolidation.
.
EEG: IMPRESSION: Abnormal portable EEG due to the disorganized
and slow
background and bursts of generalized slowing, a few with
triphasic or
sharp appearances. These findings indicate a widespread
encephalopathy
affecting both cortical and subcortical structures. There were
no areas
of prominent focal slowing, but encephalopathies may obscure
focal
findings. Sharp features appear to be more likely part of the
encephalopathy. There were no simple spike or sharp and slow
wave
discharges. An abnormal cardiac rhythm was noted, but this would
be
assessed better through routine ECG tracings.
.
MRI HEAD:
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute infarct, mass or hemorrhage.
2. Diffuse enlargement of the ventricles, including the temporal
horns
indicating brain and medial temporal atrophy.
Brief Hospital Course:
# Sepsis: Originally she met SIRS criteria with WBC 17-20 and
temp 95F, and most likely sources urinary +/- skin (right heel).
She also has septic shock with low UOP and seizures possibly
related to her sepsis. Pulmonary source less likely with
negative CXR. CNS source had to be considered since she had
seizures. A femoral line was placed because of collaps of her
IJ during insertion, suggesting still significant volume
depletion. Lactate wnl and Cr wnl. Intubation did not appear
to be for respiratory failure, but for airway protection and
sepsis. She was weaned off pressors after agressive IVF
resuscitation. She was initially started on broad spectrum abx
to cover meningitis, urinary sources, and heel ulcers as these
were thought most likely causes of her septic shock. Eventually
urine culture grew out Ecoli sensitive to Ceftriaxone (resistant
to Cipro), LP was negatve, and blood cultures were no growth so
patient's antibiotics were weaned to just Ceftriaxone for a
planned 14-day course. Her femoral line was replaced with a
midline prior to discharge to the floor. On transfer to the
floor, she was changed to oral antibiotics (Cefpodoxime) with
plan to take 8 days as outpatient to complete 14 day course. On
discharge, she was afebrile and hemodynamically stable.
Midline IV was pulled prior to discharge.
# Seizures: No known seizure history. Differential includes
primary CNS vs related to septic process. She does have a
remote history of cervical CA at age 49. CT head from OSH not
suggesting primary CNS source. Seen by neuro in the ED and
started on keppra. MRI of the head was unrevealing with only
age-related changes. LP was performed and was negative. Abx were
tailored to treat UTI only from meningitis coverage (originally
with vancomycin and ceftriaxone at 2gm to ceftriazone only).
Neurology continued to follow. Keppra was discontineud and eeg
off keppra showed no seizure activity. Neurology recommended
she follow-up with a neurolgist as an outpatient. Should Mrs.
[**Known lastname **] decide to follow-up at [**Hospital1 18**], the number has been
provided. Ultram was not continued on discharge due to
potential to lower seizure threshold.
# Right Heel Pressure Ulcer - Present on admission and
originally concerned for possible source of infection. Wound
consult was obtained and pressure ulcer was cared for per wound
care recommendations.
# DM: Controlled with humalog insulin sliding scale. Discharged
on sliding scale without restarting standing Novolin N. Nursing
home facility can restart Novolin N pending evaluation of PO
intake and blood sugars.
# Dementia: Restarted dementia medications after CNS infeciton
ruled-out.

Unit No: [**Numeric Identifier 66299**]
Admission Date: [**2196-11-25**]
Discharge Date: [**2196-11-28**]
Date of Birth: [**2196-11-25**]
Sex: M
Service: NB
[**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Known lastname 17811**] is born at 41-1/7-weeks gestation to a 31-year-
old gravida 1, para 0 now 1 woman. The mother's blood type is
A-positive, antibody negative, rubella immune, RPR
nonreactive, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, and group B
Strep positive. The mother's past medical history is
remarkable for irritable bowel syndrome treated with fiber
and dicyclomine. The mother was evaluated with abdominal CT
with contrast on [**2196-3-2**] for evaluation of abdominal
pain to rule out appendicitis. She was discharged without
surgery in good condition. She had a concerning triple screen
for trisomy 21 which led to an amniocentesis which showed 46
X,Y with 1/10 colonies showing a cell with trisomy 14;
therefore, a pseudomosaicism.
A fetal survey showed right pyelectasis and choroid plexus
cyst, both which resolved on follow-up ultrasound. The
remainder of her antepartum course was benign.
Artificial rupture of membranes occurred 4 hours prior to
delivery. The mother received greater than 4 hours of
intrapartum prophylaxis for group B Strep colonizaiton. The
infant delivered vaginally under epidural anesthesia. Apgars
were 8 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes.
The birth weight was 3,375 grams (50th percentile), birth
length 52 cm (75-90th percentile), and head circumference
37.5 cm (greater than 90th percentile).
The admission physical exam is remarkable for a full-term
infant in no distress. Anterior fontanel: Soft and flat.
Brachycephaly, sagittal sutures mobile, thick ridge along
coronal sutures, mild macrocephaly, low set posteriorly
rotated ears, high-arched palate, long thorax, no grunting,
flaring, or retracting, clear breath sounds, no murmur,
present femoral pulses, flat, soft, and nontender abdomen,
normal phallus, no testes in scrotum, but mobile masses
palpable high in both canals. Long limbs and fingers.
Difficult to abduct hips, no clunks, normal tone with
positive head lag, symmetric Moro, and normal spontaneous
movement.
NICU COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
Respiratory status: He has remained in room air throughout his
NICU stay. On day of life 1, he did have some transient upper
airway congestion and stridor with feeding which resolved
spontaneously by day of life #2. He does have some mild nasal
stuffiness. His lung bases are clear and equal.
Cardiovascular status: He has remained normotensive
throughout his NICU stay. His heart has a regular rate and
rhythm, no murmur. He has had evaluation by [**Hospital3 18242**] cardiology department. An EKG has been done and the
results are pending, and an echocardiogram is planned prior
to discharge as part of evaluation for his multiple
dysmorphic features. The echocardiogram shows patent foramen
ovale, no significant ventricular septal defect, trace aortic
regurgitation, mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, right
ventricular hypertension, qualitatively good biventricular
systolic function (i.e., basically no significant structural
heart disease).
Fluid, electrolytes, and nutrition status: At the time of
discharge, his weight is 3,160 grams. Electrolytes done on
[**2196-11-27**] were sodium 145, potassium 4.0, chloride
107, and bicarbonate 26. He has been eating orally 20
calories per ounce Enfamil or breast feeding. He has had some
difficulty latching onto the breast. Mother is currently
using a nipple shield and will need some further lactation
support after discharge. He has remained euglycemic
throughout his NICU stay. A renal ultrasound to evaluate
anatomy and assess for pyelectasis that was seen on prenatal
ultrasound showed a normal left kidney and generous renal
pelvis on the right but otherwise normal morphology. Follow
up renal ultrasound is recommended at 3-4 months of age.
Gastrointestinal status: His bilirubin on [**2196-11-27**]
was total 8.5, direct 0.2. He never required phototherapy.
Genitourinary status: His testes are undescended. A scrotal
ultrasound revealed normal testes at the top of the inguinal
canal. They are expected to descend with time.
Hematology: The infant has received no blood products during
his NICU stay.
Infectious disease: There are no infectious disease issues.
Neurology: Due to the macrocephaly, a head CT scan was done
on [**2196-11-25**]. The preliminary report is a normal
[**Location (un) 1131**] without evidence of hydrocephalus or
craniosynostosis. We are awaiting a final report from
[**Hospital3 1810**] neuroradiology.
Audiology: Hearing screening was performed with automated
auditory brainstem responses and the infant passed in both
ears.
Genetics: Chromosome studies for karyotype was sent on
[**2196-11-25**]. [**Doctor Last Name **] was evaluated by [**Hospital3 18242**] genetics service, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 60775**]. A signature
chip was sent prior to discharge. The genetics service
also requested a babygram to evaluate vertebral bodies that
was done. There were no definite vertebral anomalies seen. The
ossification centers of the proximal femurs are present which
would be unusual in a newborn infant.
Psychosocial: Parents have been very involved in the infant's
care throughout his NICU stay.
Infant is discharged in good condition.
Infant is discharged home with his parents.
Primary pediatric care will be provided by Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 60051**]
of [**Hospital 620**] Pediatrics, [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 40688**], [**Location (un) 620**], [**Numeric Identifier 63538**], telephone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 37814**].
RECOMMENDATIONS AFTER DISCHARGE: Feedings: Breast and formula
feeding. Mother will need further support with breast
feeding.
The infant is discharged on no medication.
The infant has passed a car seat position screening test.
A state newborn screen was sent on [**2196-11-28**].
He received his 1st hepatitis B vaccine on [**2196-11-27**].
RECOMMENDED IMMUNIZATIONS:
1. Synagis RSV prophylaxis should be considered from
[**Month (only) **] through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the
following 3 criteria: 1. Born at less than 32 weeks, 2.
Born between 32 and 35 weeks with 2 of the following:
Daycare during the RSV season, a smoker in the household,
neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities, or school-
age siblings, or 3. With chronic lung disease.
2. Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the
fall for all infants once they reach 6 months of age.
Before this age and for the first 24 months of the
child's life, immunization against influenza is
recommended for household contacts and out-of-home
caregivers.
Followup for this infant includes [**Hospital3 1810**]
genetics, Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 66300**], telephone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 66301**]. He
should be seen at 1 month of age. Parents will call for an
appointment. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 60051**] on [**11-30**]. Lactation consult on [**11-29**].
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Male term newborn.
2. Trisomy 14 pseudomosaicism on amniocentesis prenatally.
3. Bilateral undescended testicles.
4. Multiple dysmorphic features.
5. Macrocephaly.

CXR ABDOMENL: FINDINGS: There is no evidence of free air.
Bowel gas pattern is nonspecific. Scoliosis is noted.
Degenerative changes are seen within the spine, better evaluated
on the CT abdomen and pelvis from two days earlier. Fixation
rod is noted in the left femoral head. Better seen on the same
day chest radiograph are pacer leads and additional wires.
IMPRESSION: No good evidence of free air or obstruction.
CXR: Aside from a small region of atelectasis at the left base,
lungs are clear. There may be a new small left pleural
effusion. Heart size is normal. Thoracic aorta is tortuous and
generally large but not focally aneurysmal. No pneumothorax.
Tranvenous right atrial and right ventricular pacer leads are in
place, but their course is not standard and would require at
least conventional views for assessment.
Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **]yo s/p recent admissions for hip fx and pneumonia complicated
by sepsis at [**Hospital 47**] Hospital who presents from her rehab
facility with hypotension, diarrhea, pronounced leukocytosis
with left shift, c/w + C diff.
# Severe C diff, hypotension: Per [**Hospital1 18**] guidelines has severe C
diff based on presence of: WBC > 15, Hypoalbuminemia (< or = 2.5
mg/dl), Serum Cr increase of 1.5 x baseline, and pan-colitis on
imagine. Given ICU transfer, would be classified as severe
complcated C diff. Normally, surgery consult would be
appropriate for this severity of disease, but this is not within
the goals of care of this patient (discussed with HCP). We
initially started her on the treatment protocol for severe C
diff. Patient was DNR/DNI per discussion with family. Patient's
blood pressure continued to trend down into 80s despite fluid
rescucitation. Over the course of the day on [**2187-4-27**] patient lost
bowel sound and continued to complain of abdominal pain.
Discussion with family resulted in converting patient to comfort
measures only and her dose of morphine was increased to every
hour PRN for comfort. The family was at bedside on her last day
of hospitalization and requested that no more fluids were given
to her, and that she was allowed to pass away in comfort. Time
of death was 8:33 pm. The family, attending were notified.
Chief cause of death was reported as Severe C diff, immediate
cause was reported as sepsis.

status post coronary artery bypass graft in [**2093**] and a redo
coronary artery bypass graft in [**2111**]) who was admitted on
[**2124-7-17**] for three days of persistent epigastric
discomfort.
At this point, the patient denied any chest pain, shortness
of breath, headaches, visual changes, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, constipation, fevers, chills, or sweats. The
patient complained of increased bloating and belching which
was not similar to anginal pain he had experienced in the
past. He denied having chest pain for the past 12 years.
On [**2124-7-19**], the patient was awoken from sleep when he
had [**10-13**] anginal chest pain. Electrocardiogram was without
evidence of ST segment elevations. Initial cardiac enzymes
were negative on admission; however, now are significant for
a troponin T elevation from 0.54 to 0.85. However, his
creatine phosphokinase of 129 was trending down.
An echocardiogram was performed, and the patient was found to
have an ejection fraction of 25%, paced at 58 (which was
elevated) and a new 4+ mitral regurgitation. The patient was
then referred for a cardiac catheterization.
In the Catheterization Laboratory, angiography revealed a 90%
stenosis of the proximal saphenous vein graft to the right
coronary artery and 80% stenosis of the distal ramus. A
stent was placed in the proximal region of the saphenous vein
graft with no evidence of residual stenosis and resultant
TIMI-III flow. The patient was started on Integrilin and
milrinone and transferred to the Coronary Care Unit.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease.
(a) The patient had an inferior myocardial infarction in
[**2093**].
(b) Status post coronary artery bypass graft with left
internal mammary artery to first diagonal, saphenous vein
graft to left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein
graft to right coronary artery.
(c) Status post redo coronary artery bypass graft in [**2111**].
(d) The patient also had a catheterization on [**2122-1-20**] showing patent grafts with 50% touchdown of left
internal mammary artery occlusion. Noted to have a pressure
gradient across his left subclavian artery.
2. Peripheral vascular disease; status post coronary artery
bypass graft on [**2124-6-13**] with left renal stent placed
for renal artery stenosis; [**2124-6-14**] bilateral iliac
stents placed.
3. Hypercholesterolemia.
4. Hypertension.
5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
6. Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
7. Congestive heart failure; echocardiogram from [**2124-6-19**] showed an ejection fraction of 25%, 4+ mitral
regurgitation, 3+ tricuspid regurgitation, akinetic left
ventricular wall motion, and dilated right ventricle.
8. Bilateral carotid endarterectomies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Aspirin 81 mg by mouth once per day.
2. Lipitor 10 mg by mouth once per day.
3. Cardura 4 mg by mouth once per day.
4. Cardizem 240 mg by mouth once per day.
5. Toprol 200 mg by mouth once per day.
6. Diovan 160 mg by mouth once per day.
7. Lasix 40 mg by mouth once per day.
8. Potassium chloride 10 mEq by mouth once per day.
9. Niacin 1000 mg by mouth once per day.
10. Prilosec 20 mg by mouth every day.
11. Fish oil 4000 units by mouth every day.
ALLERGIES:
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient quit smoking approximately 20
years ago. Occasional alcohol use. No drug use.
FAMILY HISTORY: Mother deceased from a cerebrovascular
accident at 50 years of age. Father deceased from congestive
heart failure at the age of 80.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
on admission to the Coronary Care Unit revealed vital signs
with a temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit, blood pressure
was 95/39, heart rate was 68, respiratory rate was 20, and
oxygen saturation was 100% on 2 liters nasal cannula.
Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure was 10. Generally, the
patient was lying in bed and calm. In no acute distress.
Head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed
pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and
accommodation. Positive bilateral carotid bruits. Elevated
jugular venous pulsation. Cardiovascular examination
revealed a regular rate. Normal first heart sounds and
second heart sounds. A [**3-9**] holosystolic murmur at the apex
and left sternal border. Lung examination revealed decreased
breath sounds bilaterally. Crackles noted at the anterior
bases bilaterally. Abdominal examination revealed positive
bowel sounds. Soft, nontender, and nondistended. Extremity
examination revealed pulses were 2+. No edema. Right
femoral line in place.
ASSESSMENT AND PLAN: The patient is a 76-year-old male with
coronary artery disease now with elevated troponin levels and
occlusion of the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary
artery, status post stent placement, with no evidence of
residual stenosis. The patient was started on a milrinone
drip for afterload reduction, and fluid status was monitored.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM: The patient was continued
on the milrinone drip for afterload reduction understanding
that the mitral regurgitation may decrease.
1. ISCHEMIA ISSUES: In terms of his ischemia, the patient
denied any further chest pain. No electrocardiogram changes
were noted. The patient was continued on his aspirin and
Plavix.
The patient was noted to have ectopic beats on the milrinone
drip. Therefore, the drip was titrated down, and the patient
was started on captopril 6.25 mg three times per day.
The patient also received one unit of packed red blood cells
for a drop in his hematocrit from 25.8 which corrected to
31.6.
On admission to the Coronary Care Unit, the patient's chest
x-ray showed pulmonary vasculature congestion. He received
100 mg of intravenous Lasix for diuresis as well as being
continued on captopril for afterload reduction. The patient
was initially on a high oxygen requirement, requiring a
nonrebreather face mask; however, after the patient was
diuresed and afterload reduced, the patient's oxygen
requirement decreased until the patient was 100% on room air.
2. RHYTHM ISSUES: In terms of his rhythm, the patient
converted between atrial fibrillation and a normal sinus
rhythm and demonstrated evidence of paroxysmal atrial flutter
as well as premature atrial contractions. However, the
patient's rhythm corrected on its own. The patient is
currently in a normal sinus rhythm. However, due to his
current ischemia, and dilated left atrium, the patient was
started on Coumadin to prevent thrombus formation.
3. RENAL ISSUES: In terms of the patient's renal function,
his creatinine was elevated to 2.2 on admission to the
Coronary Care Unit with afterload reduction, increased
perfusion of the kidneys, and appropriate diuresis the
patient's creatinine trended down to 1.6 and is currently
improving.
The patient also complained dysuria; however, a urinalysis
was negative for leukocyte esterase and nitrites. The
patient was not started on antibiotics but was given a trial
of Pyridium for symptomatic relief. The patient will not be
started on antibiotics unless urine cultures are positive.
Urine cultures currently pending.
A repeat echocardiogram showed a dilated left atrium with a
diameter of 5.7 cm. The left ventricular wall showed basal
and mid inferior akinesis, dilated left ventricular and right
ventricular (which was larger than previous examination), 4+
mitral regurgitation, 2+ tricuspid regurgitation, and without
significant change. Ejection fraction was 20% to 25%.
PLANS FOR THIS PATIENT:
1. CARDIOVASCULAR:
(a) Coronary artery disease; status post percutaneous
coronary intervention of his saphenous vein graft to the
right coronary artery. The patient was to be continued on
aspirin, Plavix, and Lipitor.
(b) Pump: Ejection fraction of 25%, 4+ mitral
regurgitation, dilated left ventricle and right ventricle,
and dilated left atrium. The patient was at increased risk
for atrial fibrillation given left atrial size and ischemia.
The patient was to be continued on warfarin and continued on
an ACE inhibitor for afterload reduction.
(c) Rhythm: As stated before, the patient was to be
continued on his Coumadin for the risk for atrial
fibrillation and atrial flutter and was to be sent home with
[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] of Hearts monitor on discharge.
2. GOUT: The patient had an episode of pain consistent with
gout in his left big toe which was relieved with colchicine
0.6 mg by mouth as needed. Currently, the patient with no
complaints of pain. The patient has had a diagnosis of gout
in the past and has been successfully treated with Indocin;
however, at the time of treatment the patient's kidney
function was not at baseline. Therefore, nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory drugs could not be initiated. The patient
has been treated successfully with colchicine treatment.
3. RENAL: Urinalysis was negative for leukocyte esterase or
nitrites. Dysuria was likely secondary to inflammation or
trauma from the Foley catheter. The patient was given a
prescription for Pyridium for his dysuria, and symptomatic
relief was noted. The patient's creatinine decreased from
2.2 to 1.6 (currently) and was trending down. The patient
was started on Lasix 40 mg once per day and may be sent home
with this medication as the patient is likely to have dietary
indiscretion as an outpatient.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: The patient was to be sent home with
[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] of Hearts monitor. The patient was not likely to
require home services. The patient was to be followed in the
[**Hospital3 **] for frequent INR checks. The patient
was to follow up with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 487**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] in approximately
one month. The patient was to be scheduled for an
echocardiogram prior to his Cardiology follow-up appointment.
CURRENT CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was
stable.
CURRENT MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Atorvastatin 10 mg by mouth once per day.
2. Coumadin 5 mg by mouth once per day.
3. Plavix 75 mg by mouth every day.
4. Lisinopril 10 mg by mouth twice per day.
5. Toprol-XL 100 mg by mouth once per day.
6. Colchicine 0.6 mg one tablet by mouth q.1-2h. as needed
(for gouty pain).
7. Aspirin 81 mg by mouth once per day.
8. Prilosec 20 mg by mouth every day.
9. Fish oil capsules.
10. Niacin 1000 mg by mouth once per day.
11. Lasix 40 mg by mouth once per day.
12. Potassium chloride 10 mEq by mouth once per day.

[**2145-5-7**]: CT abdomen/pelvis
Large, [**Hospital1 **]-lobed ventral hernia contains multiple small bowel
loops. There is evidence of incarceration, with mesenteric
kinking and multiple areas of abrupt narrowing at the entry and
exit points of the hernia. Loops within and proximal to the
hernia are dilated up to 5-6 cm, with air-fluid levels. Several
regions of circumferential wall thickening, mucosal hyperemia,
and surrounding fluid raise concern for ischemia. There is no
pneumatosis, pneumoperitoneum, or portal/mesenteric venous gas.
[**2145-5-8**] KUB:
Within this limitation, dilated small bowel loops in the left
lower quadrant are noted, likely representing the dilated
obstructive loop of bowel present in prior study. NG tube tip
is in the stomach.
[**2145-5-18**] ECG:
Sinus rhythm. Left axis deviation with possible left anterior
fascicular
block. Borderline voltage criteria for left ventricular
hypertrophy. Modest ST-T wave changes that are non-specific.
Compared to the previous tracing of [**2145-5-14**] ventricular
premature contraction is absent. Otherwise, no other significant
diagnostic change
[**2145-5-19**] CXR (AP):
Mild pulmonary edema with small to moderate bilateral pleural
effusions.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 44910**] was admitted to the Acute Care Surgery service on
[**2145-5-7**] for management of her abdominal pain secondary to a
small bowel obstruction/incarcerated ventral hernia. Given the
large size of her [**Hospital1 **]-lobed ventral hernia, in addition to Ms.
[**Known lastname 44911**] poor surgical candidacy, she was treated
conservatively via bowel rest, IVF, and nasogastric
decompression via NGT. Her labs, most notably, her lactate and
WBC were trended throughout her hospital stay and were noted to
be within normal limits. Ms. [**Known lastname 44910**] gradually responded well to
this treatment, and was noted to be much less distended and
tender to palpation by HD#2. She self-dc'ed her NGT overnight on
HD#2 without worsening of her symptoms. On HD#3, her abdominal
exam remained improving, and she was given a bowel regimen to
which she responded well. On [**5-11**], the patient was advanced to
clears but did not tolerate that well and was again made NPO.
Because of concern for increasing abdominal pain and worsening
SBO, the patient was taken to the OR for an exploratory
laparotomy, lysis of adhesions, and small bowel resection with
primary anastomosis. See operative note for details. Her skin
and subcutaneous tissue were closed. She was transferred to the
TSICU post-op.
ICU course:
Neuro: The patient remained sedated while intubated. Once
sedation was weaned, she responded appropriately in terms of
mental status. Her pain was controlled.
CV/Pulm: Her cardiovascular status was stable and she was
continued on b-blockers while in the ICU. She has a history of
congestive heart failure and her volume status was monitored
closely. She was edematous and diuresed with lasix [**Hospital1 **]. Her IVFs
were discontinued as well in order to improve her edema, and
instead albumin was given. She remained intubated post-op and
was able to be weaned and extubated on [**5-15**].
GI: Post-op, she had an NGT in place and was NPO. Her NGT was
removed on [**5-16**] and she was advanced to sips on [**5-17**]. Her
abdominal wound was covered with dry sterile dressing and an
abdominal binder was kept on at all times. Her incision remained
c/d/i.
GU: She had a foley in place. She had intermitent episodes of
low UOP and was bolused gently as needed, with goal of 15-20
cc/hr of urine.
Heme: Her hematocrit remained stable throughout her ICU course
ID: she was given clotrimazole cream for a fungal infection
Prophy: She received subcutaneous heparin for DVT prophylaxis.
She was also continued on a H2 blocker.
Dispo: she was stable and ready for transfer to the floor on
[**2145-5-17**].
Once transferred to the surgical floor, Mrs.[**Known lastname 44912**] course by
system is as follows:
Neuro: She's been oriented x 3 including the reason for her
admission. Her pain has been treated with tramadol and
oxycodone PRN. She has intermittent minor pain as expected
post-operatively.
Cardio: Beta blockers have been continued. She has been
hemodynamically stable with adequate rate control (70 - 90s).
Generalized edema 2 - 3+ persists. Continue furosemide
treatment as discussed below.
The patient did describe chest pain (as translated by her
daughter) and shortness of breath on [**5-19**]. An ECG was obtained
and showed no acute changes when compared to prior tracings this
admission. Troponin levels were drawn and were found to be
flat. She has not described further chest pain after its
spontaneous resolution.
Pulm: A chest x-ray taken on [**5-18**] showed likely bilateral
pleural effusions. She remains on supplemental oxygen via nasal
cannula. She has described feeling short of breath at times.
Albuterol and atrovent nebulizer treatments have been
administered with good results. Furosemide therapy is
continued. With a fluid balance goal of 1 - 2 liters negative
per day, her dose was increased on [**5-19**] to 20mg PO BID. Our
recommendation is to continue this dosing for approximately five
days and then decrease the dose back to her previous home dose
of 20mg PO daily. Of course, further clinical exams are
warranted to determine effectiveness and titration of diuretic
therapy.
GI: Mrs.[**Known lastname 44912**] abdominal incision has been
well-approximated with no signs of infection. There have been
no issues of constipation or diarrhea. She is tolerating a
mechanical soft, regular diet.
GU: Daily fluid balances have been closely monitored due to
Mrs.[**Known lastname 44912**] history of congestive heart failure and current
(likely) bilateral pleural effusions. She has diuresed well
from daily Lasix. Her foley catheter was discontinued on [**5-19**].
She has since voided without issue, although frequently
incontinent.
Lines: A right brachial PICC line was in place for prior IV
therapy. The line was discontinued on [**5-19**].
Endocrine: Although Mrs. [**Known lastname 44910**] is noted to have a history of
diabetes, her pre-prandial blood glucose levels have been well
controlled. In general, she has not required an exogenous
insulin secondary to hyperglycemia while recouperating
post-operatively. Per prior medical records, she not taking any
oral diabetic agents.
At this time, Mrs. [**Known lastname 44910**] is hemodynamically stable and ready
to be transferred to rehab.

[**3-2**] EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal EEG due to the independent, at
times
synchronous, frontocentral slowing with broad-based phase
reversals, as
well as the slow and disorganized background and bursts of
generalized
slowing. This suggests bilateral frontocentral subcortical
dysfunction,
as well as similar regions of cortical irritability. The slow
and
disorganized background and bursts of generalized slowing
suggest an
encephalopathy, which may be seen with infections, toxic
metabolic
abnormalities, ischemia or medication effect.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted with a CHF exacerbation. He was diuresed
and began feeling better. CT surgery was consulted for his MR
and TR. Cardiac cath on [**1-27**] showed severe 3VD with a patent
LIMA-LAD, severe disease in SVG->OM and occluded SVG->RCA. He
was placed on cipro for a UTI. Dental medicine cleared him for
surgery. He awaited improving creatinine before going to the
operating room on [**2124-2-3**] where he underwent a redo,
redo-sternotomy, MVR with #31 [**Company **] mosaic tissue valve & TV
Repair with 32 mm CE band. He was transferred to the CSRU in
critical but stable condition on epinephrine, levophed,
vasopressin, and propofol. His epi was weaned off and he was
started on natrecor for diuresis. He was extubated on POD #2.
The remaining vasoactive drips were weaned to off on POD #3 and
he was diuresed with lasix. He continued to be followed by
cardiology. He was seen by speech and swallow who recommended
pureed solids and thin liquids with PO meds. He was transferred
to the floor on POD #5. He was cdiff positive on [**2-9**] and was
started on flagyl. He was readmitted to the CSRU on [**2-9**] for
respiratory distress and decreased urine output. He was treated
with nebulizers with little result and required reintubation. He
was seen by mephrology later that same day for anuria and rising
creatinine. He was started on vasopressin and neosynphrine for
hypotension. His neo and vasopressin weaned to off on [**2-11**]. His
creaintine and urine output continued to improve. He was again
extubated on [**2-12**]. On [**2-14**], he had recurrent ATN, required
reintubation for suspected aspiration and pressors again. He
also had afib. He was started on CVVH. He was seen by ID and
was started on cefepime and vanco. On [**2-21**] he was again
extubated and his CVVH was dc'd. A dobhoff tube wsa placed and
he was started on tube feeds. PICC line placed [**2-22**]. Antibiotics
(vanco/cefepime) for presumed hospital acquired pneumonia dc'd
on [**2-23**]. He completed his course of flagyl.
Urine output continued to wax and wane and he was again seen by
renal, repiratory status [**Last Name (un) **] began to deteriorate. He was seen
by thoracic surgery for consideration of trach and PEG which
were placed n [**2-25**]. He was seen by neurology on [**2-27**] for
stiffness which ws thought to be metabolic. Head CT was
negative. He was restarted on dialysis on [**3-1**] and an HD cath
was placed on [**3-3**]. He was last dialyzed on [**3-7**] and will need
HD on [**3-9**].

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 77-year-old man with a
history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with
complaints of increasing cough, dyspnea and decreased intakes
starting approximately three days prior to admission. Per
his wife, he had a temperature of 100?????? in the morning and
shaking chills, cough productive of copious yellow sputum.
At baseline, has cough productive of white sputum. He is
homebound and has had significant decline in his respiratory
status over the past three months. He becomes quite dyspneic
on even minimal ambulation. He uses 2 liters of oxygen at
home, has a 60 pack year history of smoking and quit in [**2187**].
He reports that the severity of his chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease waxes and wanes and that he does not feel
worse the day of admission than during his chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations. He reports a
history of multiple chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
examinations at other hospitals, but that he has never been
intubated before. In the Emergency Room, he was given 125 mg
of intravenous Solu-Medrol and levofloxacin. In the
Emergency Department, he had an electrocardiogram that
initially showed sinus tachycardia, but then appeared to be
atrial fibrillation in the 170s. He was given a Diltiazem
bolus and started on a Diltiazem drip.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, occasionally on po
steroids
2. PFTs revealing an FEV1 and FVC ratio of 80%, FEV1 52% of
predicted asbestosis
3. Hypercholesterolemia
4. Head and neck cancer status post surgery and XRT in [**2178**]
5. Anxiety
6. Pneumovax in '[**86**]
7. Flu vaccine
8. Rheumatic fever as a child. No known cardiac
echocardiogram prior to admission.
HOME MEDICATIONS:
1. Serevent 2 puffs [**Hospital1 **]
2. Azmacort 2 puffs qd
3. Albuterol and Atrovent nebulizers
4. Librium 10 mg [**Hospital1 **] prn anxiety

ALLERGIES: ERYTHROMYCIN
SOCIAL HISTORY: Lives with wife in [**Location (un) 538**], 60 pack
year history of smoking, quit in '[**87**], former merchant marine,
question of asbestosis exposure and history of toxic DM
exposure, working as an antique furniture finisher.
PHYSICAL EXAM:
GENERAL: Very cachectic elderly man breathing through pursed
lips on admission.
VITAL SIGNS: Pulse 175, blood pressure 116/74, respiratory
rate 40, 98% saturation on nonrebreather.
HEAD, EARS, EYES, NOSE AND THROAT: Pupils equal, round and
reactive to light. Edentulous. Oropharynx dry.
CHEST: Breathing with accessory muscles. Breath sounds very
distant, scattered crackles posteriorly.
HEART: Tachycardic heart sounds are very distant, unable to
assess if sinus or not. Unable to assess murmurs.
ABDOMEN: Thin, soft, nontender, nondistended, active bowel
sounds. Stool is guaiac negative.
EXTREMITIES: Thin, no edema.
ADMISSION LABS AND IMAGING: Notable for a white count of
13.1 with 77% segs, hematocrit of 41.5. Chemistries
unremarkable. C was 79, troponin less than 0.3. Urinalysis
was negative. Arterial blood gases was 7.38, 46, 76 on 2
liters of oxygen and repeat was 7.38, 47, 50 on 1.5 liters of
oxygen. Chest x-ray showed emphysema, pleural plaques,
diffuse perihilar and right apical opacities which were
consistent with an acute pneumonia.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted and taken to the
Medical Intensive Care Unit. In the Medical Intensive Care
Unit, he was not intubated. He received antibiotics,
levofloxacin for the pneumonia. He received steroids which
were tapered, chest physical therapy and nebulizers with some
improvement. His heart rate was controlled with Lopressor
and Diltiazem which were able to be switched to po and
cardiology felt he should be treated for his pulmonary
process before aggressive treatment for the atrial
fibrillation was started. The patient and family decided on
comfort measures and he was transferred to the floor. On the
floor, he remained stable with occasional runs of
tachycardia, seemed to be related to albuterol nebulizers.
He was able to tolerate nasal cannula oxygen and on [**2192-4-16**],
his rate had gotten up to 172 but it decreased to the 120s
after receiving 50 mg of intravenous Diltiazem. Repeat
electrocardiogram showed that he was in atrial flutter and he
was continued on po Lopressor and Diltiazem. His Lopressor
dose was increased to 75 mg po bid. Palliative care consult
was called and they suggested switching him to sublingual
morphine sulfate elixir, as well as adding Ativan prn and
Colace and Senokot.

IMPRESSION: Patient is a 31-year-old male with history of
heroin abuse presenting to the Emergency Department for detox
with fever to 104.0 F, abdominal pain, increased white count
with left shift, possible Osler nodes on exam. Admitted with
likely endocarditis.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: Patient's blood cultures grew
staphylococcus aureus which was Methicillin sensitive after
incubation for one day in four out of four bottles. CT Scan
of the abdomen showed multiple small wedge shaped perfusion
defects within the kidneys bilaterally as well as multiple
wedge shape and triangular low attenuation areas in the
spleen consistent with septic emboli. Transthoracic
ultrasound showed aortic insufficiency 1 to 2+, no definite
evidence of vegetation. A transesophageal echocardiogram was
performed which showed a vegetation on the aortic valve with
no definite evidence of perivalvular evidence.
The patient was initially started on Vancomycin, Oxicillin
and Gentamycin for synergy for treatment of endocarditis.
After the culture and sensitivity came back, the Vancomycin
was discontinued. The Gentamycin was continued for synergy
which was then discontinued four days into the hospital stay
and continued on IV Oxicillin. [**Known firstname 17766**] continued to spike
fevers despite the continued antibiotics and an EKG daily
showed some prolongation of the PR interval, however did not
show actual prolongation beyond 200 milliseconds.
Due to the spiking fevers, a TEE was performed once again on
[**2115-12-27**] this time showing evidence of a
perivalvular abscess as well as a fistulous track between the
right ventricle and the aorta. The patient was also noted to
have no worsening of the aortic insufficiency.
Further work up prior to replacing the aortic valve, it was
felt the patient would benefit from reevaluation of all
possible septic emboli and a MRI was done once again of the
head which showed several septic emboli as per the MRI on
admission with no definite evidence of mycotic aneurysms,
however prior to undergoing surgery it was felt to be a
benefit to undergo a better study in order to better evaluate
for mycotic aneurysms and the patient underwent a four vessel
cerebral angiogram which showed no evidence of mycotic
aneurysms.
As the patient also had poor dentition, it was felt that it
would improve his outcome if his teeth were removed. Dental
and Oral Surgery consults were obtained and the patient's 18
teeth were removed under general anesthesia. He tolerated
the procedure well with no complications and is not having
pain at this time from the actual procedure.
Repeat imaging of the abdomen for evaluation of the septic
emboli to the spleen and the kidneys revealed a splenic
septic embolus which was unclear in characteristics if it was
actually representing an abscess and this was further
evaluated with an abdominal ultrasound which did not show any
clear evidence of fluid within the mass of the spleen and
likely represented an infarcted portion of the spleen.
Surgical Service was consulted for possible drainage of this
collection and did not feel like this would be warranted
given the appearance on ultrasound.
While an inpatient, the patient was also tested for HIV,
hepatitis C and hepatitis B the results of which were
hepatitis B was negative, HIV was negative. Hepatitis C
showed evidence of antibody, however PCR for RNA is still
pending at the time of this discharge, but will need to be
followed as an outpatient.
2. FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Sodium was noted to
be significantly low on admission which improved somewhat
with hydration and there was likely a prerenal component to
the hyponatremia, however after adequate p.o. intake and
hydration, the sodium did not significantly improve and it
was noted that the Oxicillin was being given in D5 water
which was then changed to normal saline and had a significant
improvement in the electrolyte balance with a sodium in the
133 to 135 range. In comparison with the urine osmos and
urine sodium and creatinine did show some element of SIDH as
well.
3. PSYCH / ADDICTIONS: Patient is currently on Methadone
maintenance for heroin withdraw and his tolerated his
Methadone with very little craving or withdraw symptoms. He
was initially started on large dose of Methadone which was
gradually tapered down to 30 mg p.o. q. day. Patient is
interested in decreasing this even further as an outpatient.
4. HEMATOLOGY: Patient's hematocrit was noted to be
approximately 37 on admission which declined significantly
during his hospital stay down a hematocrit of 23 to 24 at its
lowest. Iron studies as well as B12, folate and hemolysis
labs were all sent which showed evidence of iron deficiency
anemia likely also with overlying anemia of chronic disease.
There might have been some element as well as of hemolysis
due to the sheering of force in the aortic valve. Was
started on iron and also transfused one unit prior to being
transferred to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Service. Stool
guaiacs were negative with the exception of one stool guaiac
which showed trace guaiac positivity. Likely as the
infection subsides and with the replacement of iron, the
patient's hematocrit will improve.
This is the end of the dictation for the Medicine portion of
this dictation summary. The rest of the course will be
dictated by Cardiothoracic Surgery.

she was having severe muscle pains and thought she likely had
low magnesium, so she came to the ER. She also was having
tachycardia over the past few days, especially with ambulation,
and began to feel progressively weak and tired, which was
another cause of her to seek care.
She complains of pain in her entire body her arms. Denies
fevers, chills, chest pain, palpitations, abdominal pain,
nausea, vomiting. She has been urinating more frequently.

Brief Hospital Course:
34 year old female with a significant PMH for insulin-dependent
diabetes, cardiomyopathy, hypomagnesemia and blindness secondary
to mitochondrial myopathy presenting with hypomagnesemia and DKA
likely secondary to noncompliance.
# DKA: Patient was started on an insulin drip in the ED anion
gap and blood sugar had resolved on arrival to the MICU.
Patient tolerated a PO diet and was transitioned to subq
insulin. There were no localizing symptoms concerning for
infectious or ischemic causes of DKA. Given patient's history of
poor control, DKA most likely secondary to non-compliance.
Electrolytes were monitored every 2 hours and repleted. [**Last Name (un) **]
was consulted and saw patient in MICU. Psychiatry was consulted
and medication non-compliance likely [**12-29**] to severe depression.
# respiratory acidosis: was most likely secondary to
hyperventilation in the setting of anxiety. Patient's CO2
resolved on subsequent ABGs.
# Whole Body Pain: the patient reported that she was at
baseline mitrochondrial myopathy pain except that it is
worsened, which may be related to dehydration and concomitant
illness. There are no localizing sx on exam and her pain is
diffuse. She was given minimal doses of PO dilaudid and kept on
on home doses of NSAIDS and tylenol. Her home carisprodol 350 mg
was continued. Her pain improved with correction of magnesium.
# Depression/anxiety: Patient reporting intention of self-harm
by not taking insulin. She was maintained on her home dose of
fluoxetine and lorazepam. She was refusing oral medication and
food intake [**12-29**] to depression. Psychiatry was consulted and
recomended inpatient psychiatric admission. She was agreeable to
this on discharge.
# Lactic Acidosis: likely type A acidosis related to
hypovolemia. Was 3.7 on admission to MICU and normalized on
repeat labs after fluid hydration.
# Hypomagnesemia: Patient on aggressive home repletion with
magnesium gluconate 27mg (500mg) 4 tablets [**Hospital1 **] at home. She was
closely monitored and repleted during admission. We did not
carry this on formulary and she was treated with Magnesium oxide
400mg daily as home equivalent. She continued to have muscle
pains which improved with IV Mg.
# Type I Diabetes: Her HgA1c was 8.1 at PCP's office on [**7-10**],
was previously 6.4 on [**2136-3-1**]. Pt reports HgA1C ranges of [**4-1**].
Patient's home regimen is insulin [**Date Range **] 37u qHS with Humalog
sliding scale. [**Last Name (un) **] was consulted and gap closed she was
maintained on [**Last Name (un) **] 20 units and humalog 5 units before each
meal with correction 1 unit for every 50 above 150 with sugars
in 120s-150s.
# OSA/insomnia: patient continued on CPAP @ 9 PEEP.
# Code: Full (confirmed)
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
[ ] Please attempt to keep patient on home magnesium gluconate
27mg (500mg) 4 tablets [**Hospital1 **]. If not on formulary consider giving
400mg of Magnesium oxide [**Hospital1 **].
[ ] Trend magnesium levels

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 29571**]:
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 18**]. You had come into
the ED because you had severe muscle pain and an increased heart
rate. In the ED your sugar was found to be high and you were
diagnosed diabetic ketoacidosis. You were transfered to the MICU
were you were given a large amount of IV fluids and your
electrolytes were repleted. Your diabetic ketoacidosis improved.
You were also seen by psychiatry which felt that you were
depressed and this was the reason you had stopped taking your
medications. Your apetite, sugars, and pain improved throughout
your stay. Your magnesium was low during your stay and we gave
you oral and IV medications to make this better. Your pain also
improved with administration of magnesium.
We made the following changes to your medications.
Please CONTINUE taking your home medications as prescribed.
Please START humalog and [**Hospital1 **] as directed.
Please START taking docusate sodium 100mg twice daily and Senna
twice daily for constipation.
Please follow-up with the appointments as outlined below.

35.9. He had multiple blood cultures.
On [**1-30**], he had a left subclavian central line culture that
showed no growth. His MRSA screen on [**2159-1-29**] was negative.
Stool cultures were negative on [**1-27**]. Sputum culture on
[**1-25**] is negative. Blood culture on [**1-15**] negative. Urine
culture on [**1-25**] was negative.
He had an ultrasound of the upper extremity that showed no
deep venous thrombosis on [**2159-1-30**]. During his hospital
course in terms of issues: Gastrointestinal: His upper
gastrointestinal bleeding was evaluated by the
Gastroenterology Service. They initially did not scope the
patient and given that his hematocrit stabilized. During the
last couple days prior to discharge, they scoped him twice,
and both times determined that he had gastritis and
esophagitis in the lower [**12-1**] without any focal hemorrhage.
They recommended supportive care.
In terms of his presentation, a CT scan of his belly was
performed which showed free air as well as bowel wall
thickening around the cecum. Surgery service was consulted,

This is a Discharge Summary Addendum from previous discharge
summary.
Regarding the patient's possible adrenal insufficiency, after
discussion with the endocrinology consult and with patient's
A.M. cortisol level of 12 on the morning of [**5-5**] prior to a
dose of 20 mg of prednisone, it is most likely that patient
is not adrenally insufficient given that she has a normal
cortisol level. It was recommended by the endocrinology team
that patient continue on a prednisone taper of 20 mg q day
for the next day, [**5-6**], and then taper to 10 mg q day
afterwards starting on [**5-7**] until patient can have a follow
up appointment with the endocrinologist.
At the time of this dictation an endocrine appointment is
still being scheduled depending on whether the patient would
like to stay close to home or whether she can return to [**Hospital1 1444**] for follow up. Patient will
no longer need fludrocortisone so this was discontinued. She
will need [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]-stem test on her endocrine follow up
appointment while she is a dose of prednisone 10 mg a day.
In addition, it is important that note that patient will
require stress dose steroids in the event of an infection or
other stress given that she has been on high dose steroids
which may have suppressed some adrenal function. So place
make the correct that patient's prednisone taper will not be
as dictated in the pervious Discharge Summary but will be
spelled out on the . All other discharge medications are the
same as previous Discharge Summary.

HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS: Ms. [**Known lastname 96864**] is a 77-year-old
female with a history of diabetes, hypertension,
gastroesophageal reflux disease, and peripheral neuropathy
recently admitted to the [**Hospital3 4527**] and found to have
massive ascites and abdominal carcinomatosis on abdominal [**Hospital **]
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for gynecologic/oncology evaluation and
possible surgical staging and debulking who was then
subsequently transferred to the Medicine Service for a right
deep venous thrombosis and management of this due to her
allergy to heparin.
At the outside hospital, as mentioned before, she had massive
ascites and abdominal carcinomatosis with diffuse omental
studding and a CA125 of 1,200.
On transfer to the Medicine Service, she was denying any
complaints including shortness of breath, chest pain, fever,
chills, nausea, vomiting, saying that her left leg was less
full than it had been in the several days prior. She reports
an allergy to heparin, although she is not sure of the
specifics of the allergy, but has been told in the past not
to be given heparin.
After talking with the family, they state that she has denied
seeing a doctor for many months but has been complaining of
abdominal swelling and right-sided abdominal pain for months.
They also say that she points to the region of her liver as a
source of pain.
While at [**Hospital3 4527**], she vomited blood and had three
transfusions while admitted for maintenance of her
hematocrit.
Her family is also adamant that she is full code, and they
reported that she had a TAH/BSO done many years ago in
[**Country 10363**] and the specifics of that they are not sure of.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Diabetes.
2. Hypertension.
3. COPD.
4. Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
5. Depression.
6. Osteomyelitis.
7. Peripheral neuropathy.
8. Questionable history of CVA in the past with right-sided
weakness.
9. Pneumonia two months ago.
10. History of anemia with Guaiac positive stools at
[**Hospital3 4527**] with an EGD and colonoscopy which were
negative. She received three blood transfusions at this
time.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Vital signs: Temperature
98.6, blood pressure 142-176/60s-80s, pulse 80, respirations
20, oxygen saturation of 98% on room air. General: The
patient was a very pleasant elderly female, appearing her
stated age, lying in bed. HEENT: The pupils were equally
round and reactive to light and her extraocular muscles were
intact. There was no evidence of scleral icterus. Heart:
There was a II/VI systolic ejection murmur heard throughout
the precordium with radiation to the carotids. Pulmonary:
She had decreased breath sounds on the left, no audible
wheezes or rhonchi. Abdomen: Distended, tense. She had
decreased bowel sounds. She had increased venous
distribution in the periumbilical region. She had no rebound
or guarding. Abdomen: Nontender to palpation. Extremities:
The right lower extremity was noted to be more swollen than
the left. She had no palpable cords. She had 2+ dorsalis
pedis pulses bilaterally, and there was no erythema or
evidence of venostasis changes.
LABORATORY/RADIOLOGIC DATA: On admission, the CBC revealed a
white count of 11.7 with a differential showing 76.4%
neutrophils, 11% lymphocytes, and 8.8 monocytes. Her
hematocrit was 32.7 with an MCV of 89, platelets 366,000.
Coagulations revealed a PT of 13.8, PTT 22.9, and INR of 1.3.
She had normal serum chemistries. She had an ALT of 13, AST
of 16, LD 306, alkaline phosphatase 57, amylase 80, T
bilirubin 0.3, lipase 36, albumin 3.4.
On admission to the [**Hospital1 18**], Doppler ultrasound of her right
lower extremity showed a nonocclusive thrombus in the right
common femoral vein and occlusive thrombus in the superficial
femoral vein. The thrombus also appeared to extend into the
greater saphenous vein.
She had an EKG as well which showed sinus tachycardia with a
right bundle branch block, and Q waves in the lateral limb
leads. All of this was unchanged from previous EKG compared
to [**Hospital3 4527**].
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. HEMATOLOGIC: It was presumed and was
felt most likely by Gynecology/Oncology as well as
Hematology/Oncology that the mass in the patient's abdomen
correlated with an elevated CA-125 of 1,200 were probably
most consistent with ovarian carcinoma. This was conveyed to
her and her family and she was offered surgical debulking and
surgical staging by Gynecology/Oncology. It was felt
necessary to medically manage her medical issues including
her deep venous thrombosis by the Medicine Team with further
discussion later in her admission with her family regarding
possibility for surgery.
Once she was medically managed and further discussions were
begun, her family was very inconsistent and indecisive for
plans and wishes for their mother. They became angry at one
point and dissatisfied with the medical team for talking to
the patient without the family present. It was explained to
them, however, that Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] has the capacity to make
decisions on her own, and her health care needs to be
discussed with her as well. She was inconsistent as well
throughout admission as to whether or not she wanted to
undergo surgery or possible paracentesis with analysis of
fluid for cytology and possible follow-up chemotherapy.
At the beginning of her hospitalization, it seemed as she did
wish to undergo surgery, but later throughout her admission
it was clear that she was very scared of surgery and did not
feel that this was the best option, and preferred
paracentesis. Since no conclusion could be made or decision
made by her family, it was conveyed to them that it was
inappropriate for her to have an extended hospital course or
hospital stay while they waited to make this decision and
this decision could be made as an outpatient.
Hematology/Oncology was consulted and recommended three
treatment options; the first being surgical debulking and
staging by Gynecology/Oncology with possible follow-up
chemotherapy; the second, being abdominal paracentesis with
analysis of fluid for cytology and pending the results
palliative chemotherapy; the third being hospice care for
Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**]. All of these options were relayed to her family
in a family meeting on [**2115-9-18**], and at this point they still
felt unable to make a decision. This information was also
conveyed to her primary care physician. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] of [**2115-9-23**], the
patient has decided to proceed with laparotomy for staging and
debulking purposes.
She also was noted on admission to have a right deep venous
thrombosis, and has an allergy to heparin. Therefore, she
was started on lepirudin and maintained on a lepirudin drip
for a goal PTT of 60-80. She received one dose of Coumadin
prior to consideration of surgery, and resulted in an
elevated INR to 5.6, which subsequently came down to the 2.5
range. It was unclear why her INR was persistently elevated,
possibly due to malnutrition. She had LFTs checked, all of
which were normal. Since she had a therapeutic INR, she was
started on Coumadin with no need for overlap with the
Lepirudin. HIT antibody was not checked at this time.
Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] also has a history of anemia with iron studies
consistent with anemia of chronic disease. She had been
receiving iron supplementation when admitted; however, she
was not discharged on iron supplementation due to inability
of iron supplementation to help with anemia of chronic
disease. Her hematocrit was monitored very closely. She
received 1 unit of packed red blood cells on [**2115-9-18**] for a
hematocrit of 25. Her hematocrit was stable after that
point.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] has a history of hypertension
and had good blood pressure control while admitted on her
Captopril 50 mg t.i.d., and she was originally kept on her
Atenolol 12.5 mg b.i.d., which was subsequently increased to
25 mg b.i.d. with better control of her blood pressure.
There was a questionable history of coronary artery disease
on admission given the Q waves in the lateral limb leads, and
right bundle branch block. She underwent cardiac
preoperative evaluation while admission in case of possible
surgical debulking and also to better convey risks and
benefits to her family. She underwent an echocardiogram
which showed a mildly dilated left atrium, a normal left
ventricular cavity, a normal ejection fraction, moderate
pulmonary hypertension, and mild aortic stenosis. She also
had a Persantine MIBI stress test which revealed no EKG
changes, normal ejection fraction, and no reversible defect.
It was felt that her cardiac postoperative risk for death was
10-15%.
Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] also suffered from fluid overload and congestive
heart failure while admitted. She had some oxygen
desaturations and was maintained on 3 liters of oxygen by
nasal cannula. She was aggressively diuresed with IV Lasix
80 mg b.i.d. for two days, with resolution of symptoms. She
was diuresed until her creatinine bumped to 1.3 and then
diuresis was held, and then restarted the next day at the
dose of 40 mg p.o. b.i.d. Her creatinine subsequently fell
to 1.0.
3. PULMONARY: Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] has a history of COPD, and was
originally started on Albuterol nebulizer p.r.n., which were
subsequently increased to a standing dose in addition to
standing Atrovent nebulizers. She was also given Albuterol
MDI p.r.n. She had audible wheezing and evidence of hypoxia,
but improvement with her nebulizer treatments. She will be
discharged with Albuterol MDI p.r.n. and strongly recommended
that she have respiratory treatments with nebulizer
treatments p.r.n. at the nursing home.
She also had evidence of increased sputum production several
days after admission and a poor quality chest x-ray. At this
point, it was attempted to get sputum from induction;
however, no sample was ever obtained. She remained afebrile
without any clinical evidence of pneumonia.
4. ENDOCRINE: Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] has a history of type 2 diabetes
and is maintained on Actos and Glyburide as an outpatient.
While admitted, she had decreased p.o. intake, and her Actos
and Glyburide were held and she was covered with a sliding
scale of regular insulin. At the time of discharge, she will
be restarted on her Actos and Glyburide. It was recommended
that she have close follow-up at the nursing home as an
outpatient for hypoglycemia given her likely decreased p.o.
intake from her malignancy.
5. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: Several days into admission, it was
noted that Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] was somnolent and it was felt that she
was possibly developing an infection, and had been on
Tylenol; therefore, a fever spike could not be detected. She
had urine cultures, blood cultures, and an attempt at sputum
culture which was never obtained. A U/A revealed signs of a
urinary tract infection; however, urine culture times two
came back as fecal contamination. There was a question of
whether or not she might have a possible fistula between her
rectum and bladder from her malignancy. She was, however,
started on levofloxacin, and was discharged on five days to
complete a total of a seven day course.
Initial blood cultures grew one out of four bottles positive
for gram-positive cocci in chains from her PICC line site.
This was followed the second day with surveillance cultures
which at the time of discharge had never grown anything and
it was felt that this was probably secondary to
contamination.
6. PSYCHIATRY: Mrs. [**Known lastname 96864**] has a history of depression and
has been maintained at the nursing home on Zoloft, Zyprexa
2.5 mg q.h.s., and Klonopin 0.5 mg t.i.d. as an outpatient.
These were continued while she was admitted, and several of
her Klonopin doses were held for concern of excessive
sedation. She was withdrawn. She also was very interactive
at other periods. It was felt that she was very worried,
anxious, and fearful of her diagnosis, as to be expected.

TTE [**2130-3-28**]:
Conclusions
The left atrium is markedly dilated. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is
mildly dilated. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal
wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The ascending
aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets are
moderately thickened. There is mild aortic valve stenosis (valve
area 1.2-1.9cm2). Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is severe mitral
annular calcification. Mild to moderate ([**12-11**]+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity
of mitral regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.]
The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate [2+]
tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. The pericardial effusion appears
circumferential and is largely small (with a moderate sized
lateral portion). There are no echocardiographic signs of
tamponade. Echocardiographic signs of tamponade may be absent in
the presence of elevated right sided pressures.
.
CXR [**2130-3-28**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Right internal jugular line in mid-to-distal SVC.
2. Markedly enlarged cardiac silhouette, secondary to underlying
pericardial
effusion.
.
RUQ U/S [**2130-3-28**]:
IMPRESSION:
Cholelithiasis, without acute cholecystitis.
.
CT CHEST [**2130-3-19**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Severe cardiomegaly and moderately large pericardial effusion
suggest
tamponade physiology.
2. Severe bronchial wall thickening and mucoid impaction
bilaterally
indicates small airways disease.
2. Generalized ground-glass opacity, small bilateral pleural
effusions, and interstitial thickening consistent with mild
pulmonary edema.
Brief Hospital Course:
HOSPITAL COURSE:
Pt is an 81M with PMH of HOCM, atrial fibrillation on Coumadin,
who was transfered here from [**Location (un) 620**] for RUQ u/s in the setting
of RUQ pain, fever, and hypotension. Pt was admitted to the MICU
for closer monitoring given hypotension and concern for
tamponade. He was placed on broad spectrum antibiotics and
required brief pressors. Pressors were quickly weaned off. Pt's
abdominal pain resolved after bowel movement. Pt defervesced and
broad spectrum antibiotics were discontinued in favor of
Levofloxacin for CAP given mucoid impaction on CT chest. He was
transferred to the medicine floors where his condition continued
to improve with a bowel regimen. Antibiotics were discontinued
as pneumonia was felt clinically unlikely.
.
# Fever/Hypotension: DDx included sepsis vs. tamponade. Pt was
thought to have a large pericardial effusion on CT scan.
However, given pulsus of 4, this was thought to be unlikely-
subsequent echo confirmed a small effusion. Given fevers there
was concern for sepsis with possible sources including
cholecystitis given RUQ pain, PNA, or UTI. On presentation, pt
had no RUQ and abdominal discomfort overall improved after a
bowel movement. RUQ demonstrated cholelithiasis but not
cholecystitis. UA was clean. CAP possible though initial CXR did
not show consolidation. He was placed initially on broad
spectrum antibiotics. A CT chest showed mucoid impaction, and pt
was switched on HOD#2 to Levofloxacin for planned 7 day course
for CAP. This was discontinued after two doses as the patient
clinically did not have signs of pneumonia and was doing well.
Given low and then normal blood pressures, verapamil was held
during this hospitalization and pt was discharged off of it.
.
# Pericardial effusion: Most likely chronic given asymptomatic
and pulsus of only 4. Differential for etiology is broad. There
was concern for malignancy given LAD on imaging. TTE was done
which showed no evidence of tamponade physiology. Per
cardiology, recommended follow-up in [**2-10**] weeks. TSH was checked
and was normal. [**Hospital1 **] pulsus were checked in the ICU and remained
<10. Pt should have further workup for evaluation of LAD.
# RUQ pain: Suspect gas/constipation vs. less likely
intermittent gallstone obstructions. RUQ pain resolved after
large bowel movement. As above, no evidence of cholecystitis on
u/s. No other obvious pathology on CT abdomen. Pt was treated
with bowel regimen and symptoms improved.
.
# Pelvic/RP LAD: Unclear etiology, concern for malignancy.
Patient also with report of recent 20 lb weight loss. No clear
source on CT Chest or Abd/Pelvis. Last colon [**2130-2-3**]- evidence
of internal hemorrhoids but otherwise normal. PSA is at baseline
since [**2119**] per OMR; prostate biopsies in [**5-11**] were negative for
malignancy. Given splenomegaly, concern for lymphoma. LDH was
within normal limits. Outpatient PET scan was arranged for
patient. He will need further follow up with his PCP.
.
# Anemia- Normocytic and new since [**2126**]. No obvious signs of
bleeding. Normal [**Last Name (un) **] in [**2130-1-10**]. DDx fe deficiency vs.
chronic disease (?malignancy) vs. B12/folate (less likely). B12
and folate wnl. Iron studies suggestive of anemia of chronic
disease. Hematocrit trended and remained stable during this
hospitalization.
.
# Rash: Erythematous macular, non-blanching rash over left knee
of [**1-12**] month duration. Unclear etiology. Dermatology was
consulted, and thought most likely purpuric rash [**1-11**] to trauma.
Rash improved over course of hospitalization. Derm also
recommended Amlactin cream for venous stasis rash b/l. Patient
was discharged on this medication.
.
INACTIVE ISSUES:
.
# BPH: Continued finasteride. Given pericardial effusion, and
concern for possible malignancy, PSA was checked and was 15.1,
similar to prior values since [**2119**]. Pt should follow-up with PCP
for further management.
.
# HOCM: Home atenolol and verapamil were held initially given
concern for Sepsis. He was continued on home dose of statin.
Once BP normalized, pt was started on metoprolol for titration
of BP meds and rate control for afib as below. He was discharged
back on his home atenolol.
.
# AFIB: Rate controlled on admission. He was continued on
coumadin with daily PT/INR checked given antibiotics. As above,
CCB and atenolol initially held given concern for sepsis.
Metoprolol was started in the ICU after BP's normalized for
improved titration. He was discharged back on his home atenolol.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 12982**],
You were admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain. Because
of your low blood pressure you were admitted to the intensive
care unit and then transferred to the general medical [**Hospital1 **] when
you were doing better. We believe this pain may have been
related to constipation. Your CT scan of your abdomen showed
enlarged lymph nodes- this will need to be evaluated further
with a PET scan, which we have scheduled for you (see below).
We have made the following changes to your medications:
- STOP taking verapamil for your blood pressure- your blood
pressure was low and then normal during your hospitalization
- START taking psyillium for your bowel movements
- START taking colace and senna as needed for constipation
- START using AmLactin lotion for the rash on your calves
It was a pleasure taking care of you. We wish you a speedy
recovery.
Followup Instructions:
You have a PET scan scheduled for [**Last Name (LF) 2974**], [**4-14**] at 8:45 in the
morning. This is located on the [**Location (un) **] of the [**Hospital Ward Name 23**]
Building. You will need to drink a bottle of the Clear Scan Prep
the night before the PET scan. The PET scan people will be
sending you more information regarding the special diet that you
will have to follow for dinner the night before your PET scan,
and when to drink the Clear Scan prep.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 52157**] was admitted on [**2180-3-8**] and taken to the operating
room for a right [**Last Name (un) 5884**] flap reconstruction. She tolerated the
procedure well with only 150 mL of estimated blood loss. She
was sent to the ICU after the procedure where she underwent
frequent flap checks that revealed good doppler pulses
consistently. The right aspect of the flap appeared to be
somewhat congested the following morning and she was treated
with leech therapy to reduce this congestion. The right aspect
of her flap remained somewhat eccymotic but continued to be warm
with good doppler signals. We removed her foley on POD 2 and
she was able to void. She tolerated a regular diet and
ambulated appropriately. She was discharged home in good
condition with a visiting nurse [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 19843**] checks and dressing
changes on POD 5.

transplanted liver. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic ductal
dilatation. Portal vein is widely patent. There is a ring-like
echogenic structure at the portal vein anastomosis. There is an
anechoic tubular two-compartmental structure, which initially
appeared to be bile duct, however, further scanning revealed it
to be fluid accumulating along the porta hepatis at real- time
scanning. Normal waveforms are seen in main portal vein, main
and left hepatic arteries and three hepatic veins. There is a
small amount of right pleural effusion.

Brief Hospital Course:
55 yo man with hx EtOH/HCV cirrhosis s/p OLT in [**5-3**], CMV donor
+, recipient -, now admitted with abdominal pain, fever,
myalgias, headache, cough and found to have CMV viremia with
evidence of liver involvement course complicated by recurrent
HCV seen on biopsy, multifactorial acute renal failure,
microabscesses on biopsy concerning for ascending cholangitis.
.
# CMV Viremia
Original CMV VL [**3-15**] 95,800 at that time started on oral
valganciclovir, biopsy results on [**3-17**] confirmed liver
involvement and he was switched to IV ganciclovir and completed
a 2 week course. His CMV VL decreased to <600 copies on [**3-29**]. He
will need to complete 6 months of oral valganciclovir 450mg
daily for likely 6 months, follow up with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 724**] was
scheduled for patient. Of note he had a negative opthalmologic
examination for retinitis done by opthalmologist.
.
# Transplanted liver
Biopsy shows trichrome stain demonstrates increased portal
fibrosis with septa formation and foci of early bridging
fibrosis (Stage 2-3). Additionally, marked centrivenular
fibrosis without luminal occlusion is seen, indicative of a
component of chronic venous outflow obstruction. Moderate portal
and lobular mixed inflammation consisting of mononuclear cells
and focally prominent neutrophils (some in association with bile
ducts), with microabscess formation and foci of extensive
hemorrhagic necrosis, predominantly involving zone 3. Scattered
viral inclusions morphologically consistent with cytomegalovirus
are identified within hepatocytes and rare bile ductular
epithelial cells (confirmed by immunostain for CMV, with
satisfactory controls). Recurrent viral hepatitis C, difficult
to grade in this sample. Diagnostic features of acute cellular
rejection are not identified. Biliary findings are also likely a
result of the CMV and/or cytokine-mediated, but a concomitant
bacterial infection, sepsis, a drug effect or biliary
obstruction remain within the histopathologic differential.
Given rising alkaline phosphatase concern for cholestatic
fibrosis was high, he may need repeat liver biopsy in the near
future given his stage 2-3 fibrosis this early into his
transplantation. His Bactrim prophylaxis was switched to Dapone
given his renal dysfunction, G6PD level was normal.
.
# Acute kidney injury
Multifactorial etiology in this patient with a baseline 1-1.2,
he had component of cryoglobulinemia given positive cryos on
[**3-15**] and [**3-27**] with 3 an 2 percent crycrit respectively. He was
started back on interferon and ribavirin on [**3-25**], ribavirin was
subsequently held given rise in creatinine. His urine did not
reveal proteinuria and had nonspecific granular casts.
Tacrolimus nephrotoxicity was considered and his goal was
reduced to [**5-3**]. His creatinine peaked at 2.1 and decreased, at
discharge his creatinine was... Of note he did receive fluid
challenges with no improvement in renal function given that his
PO intake was poor. His Bactrim was switched to Dapone given his
renal dysfunction, G6PD level was normal.
.
# Superimposed bacterial infection
Had recurrent fevers while on treatment for CMV, biopsy revealed
microabscesses concerning for ascending cholangitis. Patient is
to complete 3 week course of levaquin and flagyl on [**4-6**], he did
not spike any fevers while on this regimen. initially was on
vancomycin for possible pneumonia, susbsequent radiograph was
unrevealing. Patient had recurrent headache for which he had a
negative lumbar puncture, all other cultures were negative.
.
# Normocytic anemia
Multifactorial due to chronic disease, likely small oozing from
CMV colitis (not biopsied or colonoscopy), had EGD showing
gastric erosion consistent with gastritis, no CMV. On multiple
myelosuppressive medications. He was transfused for
hematocrit<21. Hematology reviewed smear and was not concerning
for TTP. He is on Epogen during his HCV treatment.
.
# Inflammatory arthritis
Seen by rheumatology who tapped his swollen right knee, there
was no evidence of infection and the fluid was inflammatory.
This was attributed to cryoglobulinemia and his myalgias and
arthralgias resolved throughout his hospital course.
.
# Hypertension
His metoprolol was increased to 75mg [**Hospital1 **] with good effect.
