An MRA on 10/3/06 demonstrated on the right a multifocal high-grade stenosis of the proximal, anterior tibial, the tibioperoneal trunk and the proximal, posterior tibial arteries and included peroneal artery at the midcalf, two-vessel runoff and on the left diffuse high-grade stenoses of the anterior tibial, posterior tibial arteries and occlusion of the peroneal artery in the dorsalis pedis. The patient presented with bleeding from the site of the left toe amputation beginning two weeks ago associated with throbbing pain, soreness, erythema and swelling and exacerbated blood pressure when walking and only treated by narcotics. Neuro and Psych: The patient has delirium postoperatively for which he was placed on soft restraints and received Zyprexa. Cardiac: Upon admission, potassium was noted to be elevated and the patient had EKG changes associated with hyperkalemia and received Aspirin, Lopressor, Norvasc, Zocor, Plavix, PhosLo, Prandin for coronary artery disease related event prophylaxis. Blood pressure was controlled with isosorbide dinitrate, Norvasc, lisinopril, and Lopressor. Pulmonary: No events. Maintained oxygen saturation greater than 90% on room air. Renal: Creatinine was stable in the mid 3s and trended down to 2.6 at the time of discharge below his baseline of 4-5. Voiding without difficulty at the time of discharge. Maintained on his renal medications. FEN/GI: Tolerated regular diet. Lactulose and Colace to prevent constipation while taking narcotics, also had Dulcolax p.r.n. Zinc and Vitamin C was started per the Nutrition consult. Hematology: He received heparin for DVT prophylaxis. His hematocrit remained stable. He had some oozing from the right thigh but this resolved with a pressure dressing. ID: He was treated throughout his hospitalization with vancomycin, levofloxacin and Flagyl for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that grew from the wound after the first and second irrigation and debridement. The levofloxacin and Flagyl were discontinued prior to discharge. He will continue his vancomycin at the time of discharge. Endocrine: Diabetes controlled. He was maintained on his Prandin and insulin sliding scale for glycemic control. He also received Vitamin D, Calcitriol, Nephrocaps, Epogen, and Aranesp.

The patient was admitted on 5/5/2006 with a history of mechanical fall, with the attending physician being Dr. Clemente Armand Bolstad, with a full code status and disposition of Rehabilitation. Medications on Admission included Amiodarone 100 QD, Colace 100 bid, lasix 40mg QD, Glyburide 5mg bid, Plaquenil 200mg bid, Isordil 20mg tid, Lisinopril 20mg QD, Coumadin 5mg 3dys/week, 2.5mg 4dys/week, Norvasc 10mg QD, Neurontin 300mg TID, with APAP prn. An override was added on 10/2/06 by Gerad E. Dancy, PA for POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INTERACTION: AMIODARONE HCL & WARFARIN with the reason for override being monitoring. The patient was rehydrated with IVF and PO's were encouraged, holding Glypizide while in house, Novolog sliding scale was started on 1/2, Low dose NPH 6 units BID was started on 1/2, bridged with lovenox and INR therapeutic 1/2 and restarted on home regimen of 5/2.5mg variable dose. Pain was controlled with TYLENOL (ACETAMINOPHEN) 650 MG PO Q4H PRN Pain, Headache. A CT pelvis showed a right adnexal cyst which will need further characterization by US and outpatient follow up. The patient has an extensive cardiac history and the fall is not likely related to a cardiac issue as it appears mechanical, with no syncope, chest pain, etc. She was diagnosed with an NSTEMI with a small TnI leak, likely demand related in the setting of hypovolemia and the fall. Enzymes trended down. She was dry on admission and rehydrated with IVF, PO's encouraged, and became euvolemic by 1/2. Her JVP was up to 12cm, although it was difficult to gauge her volume status due to TR. She had a prolonged QT on admission, on telemetry, of unclear etiology, possibly starvation. This was monitored on telemetry until ROMI and drugs that confound were avoided. The QTc resolved to low 500s and a DDD pacer was functioning with V-pacing at 60bpm. Additional medications included NATURAL TEARS (ARTIFICIAL TEARS) 2 DROP OU BID, COLACE (DOCUSATE SODIUM) 100 MG PO BID, PLAQUENIL SULFATE (HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE) 200 MG PO BID, ISORDIL (ISOSORBIDE DINITRATE) 20 MG PO TID, LISINOPRIL 20 MG PO DAILY HOLD IF: SBP <110, MILK OF MAGNESIA (MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE) 30 MILLILITERS PO DAILY PRN Constipation, COUMADIN (WARFARIN SODIUM) 2.5 MG PO QPM, NORVASC (AMLODIPINE) 10 MG PO DAILY HOLD IF: SBP <110, NEURONTIN (GABAPENTIN) 300 MG PO TID, NEXIUM (ESOMEPRAZOLE) 20 MG PO DAILY, MAALOX-TABLETS QUICK DISSOLVE/CHEWABLE 1-2 TAB PO Q6H PRN Upset Stomach, DULCOLAX RECTAL (BISACODYL RECTAL) 10 MG PR DAILY PRN Constipation, CLOTRIMAZOLE 1% TOPICAL TOPICAL TP BID, GLYBURIDE 5 MG PO BID, LASIX (FUROSEMIDE) 20 MG PO DAILY, and corrected pt restarted on lasix 20 qd on d/c.

Pain was controlled with TYLENOL (ACETAMINOPHEN) 650 MG PO Q4H PRN Pain, Headache, rehydrated with IVF, po's encouraged, holding Glypizide while in house, Novolog sliding scale was started on 1/2, Low dose NPH 6 units BID was started on 1/2, bridged with lovenox and INR therapeutic 1/2 and restarted on home regimen of 5/2.5mg variable

has the patient had nexium ( esomeprazole )

This 57-year-old female with a distant history of ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis with systemic lupus erythematosus features, and history of TTP, status post splenectomy, was admitted with fever, shortness of breath, and pleuritic chest pain. She was initially given cefuroxime and levofloxacin in the emergency department for a presumed community acquired pneumonia, as well as Lasix. Her medications included diltiazem 240 mg a day, lisinopril 40 mg a day, Naprosyn 500 mg b.i.d., NPH insulin 24 units subcutaneously q.a.m., Entex-LA, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. She underwent thoracentesis and multiple bilateral therapeutic pleuracentesis, and was diuresed aggressively with Lasix, with her oxygen requirement being down from initially 5 to 6 liters per nasal cannula prior to discharge. A continuous Doppler wave form was found and she underwent abdominal CT scan, which did not show any evidence of venous or lymphatic obstruction. Initially, she was started on cefuroxime and azithromycin by the General Medicine team, and her Legionella urine antigen became positive and levofloxacin was added given recommendations from the Infectious Disease Service. She was off of O2 except that she had desaturations to 86% with ambulation, therefore, she was discharged home with p.r.n. oxygen, on Lasix 80 mg b.i.d., insulin sliding scale, lisinopril 40 mg a day, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. and levofloxacin 500 mg times 14 days.

Has this patient ever tried advair diskus 250/50 ( fluticasone propionate/... )

This 54-year-old female with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis had an apparent VFib arrest at hemodialysis and was admitted to the CCU after being intubated in the Vibay General Hospital ED. She was intubated, received amiodarone and dopamine, as her BP was low. An x-ray revealed diffuse bilateral opacities, possible pulmonary edema versus aspiration pneumonia, and an EKG showed normal sinus rhythm 100 beats per minute with no acute ST changes. Her first set of cardiac enzyme revealed a creatinine kinase of 116 and the MB fraction of 0.7 and troponin T of less than assay and lactate of 1.8. A fistulogram and angioplasty of her right AV fistula was performed on 9/14/06 with prednisone premedication but it was unsuccessful and therefore a left IJ tunneled dialysis catheter was inserted on 10/18/06 with the tip ending in the right atrium. HOME MEDICATIONS at the time of admission included amitriptyline 25 mg p.o. bedtime, enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, enalapril 20 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lasix 200 mg p.o. b.i.d., Losartan 50 mg p.o. daily, Toprol-XL 200 mg p.o. b.i.d., Advair Diskus 250/50 one puff inhaler b.i.d., insulin NPH 50 units q.a.m. subcu and 25 units q.p.m. subcu, insulin lispro 18 units subcu at dinner time, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, sevelamer 1200 mg p.o. t.i.d., tramadol 25 mg p.o. q.6 h. p.r.n. pain. A bronchoscopy was performed on 9/14/06 with prednisone premedication but it was negative for aspiration. The patient had difficulty weaning from vent and was finally extubated on 0/22/06. She had a single set of coag-negative Staph positive blood cultures from Quinton catheter on 8/8/06 and was treated with vancomycin dose by renal levels. An Echo on 8/1/06 showed an EF of 60 to 65% with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and no wall motion abnormalities. The patient was continued on telemetry and treated with her home dose of beta-blocker with good response and was gradually advanced to an oral diet with no signs of aspiration status post extubation. She was also given heparin subcutaneously and Nexium as prophylaxis. The patient is full code and will likely need rehab and is being screened by PT and OT and will likely be discharged to rehab when bed is available.

Previous lasix

The patient, a 60M with newly-diagnosed DM, hyperlipidemia, glaucoma, h/o EtOH abuse, and erectile dysfunction, presented to the ED for the second time in 3 days with unsteadiness and sleepiness. Workup including head CTA and MRI were negative, and he was discharged with Metformin and plans for Holter and TTE. He returned to the ED with BS 277. No fevers, headaches, focal neuro findings, vertigo, visual changes, CP, SOB, n/v, abd pain, dysuria, or joint pain were found. Labs were significant for glucose 314, elevated lipids (Chol 302, Trig 323, LDL 189), and HbA1c 11.1%. EKG had old j-point elevation laterally, physical and neuro exam were normal. Explanations for episodes considered were TIA of posterior circulation vs. seizure, less likely atypical migraine or sleep disorder. At the time of discharge, the patient was stable and feeling very good. He was given ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID 81 MG PO DAILY, LIPITOR (ATORVASTATIN) 10 MG PO DAILY, GLYBURIDE 2.5 MG PO DAILY X 60 doses, METFORMIN 500 MG PO BID, a low-fat house diet, and acyclovir this week but stopped Wed for possible neuro side effects. Aspirin dose was increased from 81 mg to 325 mg qd and a prescription for an automatic BP cuff for monitoring at home was given. To better manage blood sugars, glyburide was added which should be taken once a day in addition to metformin twice a day, and he should check his blood sugars 3-4 times per day. He will followup with Dr. Clesen on Monday, and will be evaluated this week with TTE with bubble-study to r/o intracardiac source or PFO and EEG if Neurology deems possibility of seizure.

Has this patient ever been on lipitor ( atorvastatin )

This is a 66-year-old man with diabetes, hypertension, obesity and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the right hip on chemotherapy (R-CHOP) which began on 4/10/06 and will continue for 18 weeks, reporting no complications from ischemic chemotherapy. The patient presented to the emergency room with syncope and was hypotensive on arrival, receiving IV normal saline as volume resuscitation. The second set of cardiac enzymes was positive with a troponin of 2, and an echocardiogram the morning following admission showed a dilated right ventricle consistent with right ventricular strain. A PE protocol CT scan showed a large saddle embolus, and the patient was treated initially with IV heparin, transitioned to Coumadin and then the decision was made to try Lovenox therapy for long-term anticoagulation. Cardiac enzymes normalized and repeat echocardiogram showed mild improvement in right heart function. On admission, the patient's medications were Atenolol 50 daily, lisinopril 5 daily, Protonix 40 daily, metformin 1500 daily, Lantus 60 daily, Humalog 20 before meals, Byetta 5 mcg twice daily, levothyroxine (dose unknown), OxyContin 40 every eight hours, Percocet two tabs every 3 hours as needed for pain and gabapentin (dose unknown).

Has the patient ever tried atenolol

This 70-year-old female with CHF, coronary artery disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal insufficiency was admitted on 0/5/06 for weakness and confusion. Her hospital course was complicated by worsening cardiac function with minimal improvement on milrinone and decreasing urine output despite diuretics and also gross gastrointestinal bleeding with melanotic stool while she was on Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. In addition, there was concern for sepsis and she was placed on antibiotics with levofloxacin, Flagyl, and vancomycin. She required a transfer to the Cardiac Care Unit on 9/15/06 for further medical therapy for poor cardiac output, a possible need for CVVH, given volume overload in the setting of renal failure, and work-up of GIB. Her code status was DNR/DNI, but was changed to comfort measures only on 1/17/06 due to a large ascending colorectal mass with ulcerations. Being CMO status, she was removed of all pressors and antibiotics and made comfortable sedated on fentanyl and Versed. She was then extubated for comfort with family present and had agonal breathing with episodes of apnea and was given additional sedation for comfort. The patient drew her last breath at 2:20 p.m. with family present and was pronounced dead at 2:20 p.m. on 1/17/06. Family declined autopsy.

What is the dosage of the medication the patient was prescribed for atrial fibrillation

A 63-year-old male with a history of CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) and two prior MIs (Myocardial Infarctions) presented with atypical chest pain and was admitted with a 100% LCx lesion unable to be stented. He was on medical management with Atenolol, Ace-I, and Aspirin (ECASA) 325 mg PO QD until the day of admission when he woke up with left arm and shoulder pain reminiscent of an old MI. Attempts at relief with nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 mg) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 were unsuccessful, so he called EMS. In the ED, EKG and TnI were flat and he was started on heparin for unstable angina. Serial CKs were flat and he had no recurrence of chest pain in the hospital. He is to follow-up with Dr. Tollner with the possibility of ETT-MIBI as an outpatient. Discharge medications included Wellbutrin (Bupropion HCl) 200 mg PO QD, Colace (Docusate Sodium) 100 mg PO BID, FESO4 (Ferrous Sulfate) 300 mg PO BID, and Zocor (Simvastatin) 40 mg PO QHS. Additional instructions included taking the increased dose of Zestril 10 mg PO QD, making a follow-up appointment with Dr. Cyrus in the next week or two, and returning to the hospital if experiencing an increase in chest pain or shortness of breath at rest. The discharge condition was stable and he was discharged home with instructions to do an ETT-MIBI as an outpatient, check K and Cr within 1-2 weeks, and get a referral to GI and EGD as an outpatient.

atenolol

This is a 65-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, IPF diagnosed in 1986, osteoarthritis, and obesity who presented with five days of chest pain/SOB. She was initially put on aspirin, Lopressor 37.5 t.i.d., heparin, oxygen and hooked up to a cardiac monitor and EKG q.d. and was ruled out for unstable angina. Cardiac catheterization revealed LAD ostial 90%, proximal 80%, diag ostial 90%, left circ 90%, 80% lesions, marginal 1, TUB 90%, RCA 50%. The patient underwent PTCA and stent x 2 with good results and remained chest pain free. On admission she was on medications Captopril 50 mg b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg q.d., Lopid 600 mg b.i.d., Axid 150 mg b.i.d., and insulin 70/30 90 q. a.m. and 40 q. p.m. The patient was hypokalemic on 10/23 with a curious whitening on EKG and peak T waves and was treated with insulin, calcium, and Kayexalate x 3. She had a history of colonic polyps but tolerated the aspirin and was put on Nexium prophylaxis. She was then treated with prednisone overnight for IV contrast dye allergy and treated with digoxin and prednisone. The patient was treated with levofloxacin 500 mg q.d. for fourteen days and discharged on medications ASA 325 mg p.o.q.d., atenolol 75 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg p.o. q.d., Lopid 600 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 one tab q. 5 minutes x 3 p.r.n. chest pain, Zocor 10 mg p.o. q.h.s., Norvasc 5 mg p.o.q.d., xalatan one drop OU q.h.s., Alphagan one drop OU b.i.d., levofloxacin 500 mg p.o.q.d., clopidogrel 75 mg p.o.q.d., insulin 70/30 90 units q.a.m., 40 units q.p.m. subcu, and Axid 150 mg p.o. b.i.d.

Why did the patient need kayexalate

A 45-year-old man with a history of familial cardiomyopathy and status post cardiac transplant in 2002, and chronic renal insufficiency presented with greater than two weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, blurry vision, muscle cramps, and myalgias and reported approximately a 15-pound weight loss over three weeks with decrease in usual lower extremity edema. On admission, notable for a blood glucose of 1064, creatinine 2.2 from a baseline of 1.8, sodium 130, potassium 4.9. Endocrine service was consulted and the patient was controlled with a combination regimen of Lantus, Novolog q. a.c., combined with a Novolog sliding scale.

She was discharged in stable condition to her son, with instructions to follow up with Lenard Dimmitt for blood pressure, take Tylenol for pain, take Ibuprofen as needed, and call the nurse practitioner within 2 weeks for an appointment.

How often does the patient take lipitor (atorvastatin)

The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, recurrent UTIs, and uterine prolapse who presented with chills and hypotension and was admitted to the Medical ICU for treatment of septic shock. Mean arterial pressures were kept above 65 with Levophed and antibiotics were changed to penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. An ATEE on 10/19 showed severe mitral regurgitation with posterior leaflet calcifications and linear density concerning for endocarditis, for which a PICC line was placed on 1/19 for a six-week course of penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and two-week course of gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25. The patient was initially treated with Levophed for her hypotension until 11/0, and was placed on Levofloxacin and Vancomycin to treat Gram-positive cocci bacteremia and UTI. She was maintained on telemetry and was found to be a normal sinus rhythm with ectopy, including short once of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. She was started on Lopressor 12.5 mg t.i.d. on 3/18, and this was increased to 25 mg b.i.d. at discharge, with her heart rates continuing to be between the 70s and the 90s, however, with less episodes of ectopy. Aspirin was given, and Lipitor was initially held for an initial transaminitis presumed to be secondary to shock liver. She had guaiac positive stools in the medical ICU, her hematocrit was stable around 33%, and her iron studies suggested anemia of chronic disease with possibly overlying iron deficiency. She had a normal random cortisol level of 35.3, and her Hemoglobin A1c was 6.5, so she was maintained thereafter only on insulin sliding scale and rarely required any coverage. The patient was kept on Lovenox and Protonix and her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron sulfate 325 mg daily, gentamicin sulfate 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25 for a two-week course, penicillin G potassium 3 million units IV q.4h. until 0/12 for a six-week course, Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Caltrate plus D2 tablets p.o. daily, Lipitor 10 mg daily, and Protonix 40 mg daily. She was discharged to rehabilitation at Acanmingpeerra Virg Tantblu Medical Center in order to be able to get her antibiotic therapy, and her physicians will attempt to add the ACE back onto her medical regimen for better afterload reduction as her blood pressure tolerates, and potentially they will add her back on to the Lasix as well. She will require weekly lab draws to check her electrolytes and CBC while she is on the antibiotics.

has there been a prior duonebs

Ms. Dozois is a 64-year-old female admitted to MICU on 2/19/2005 for neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath, requiring intubation and pressors. Her medical problems included severe COPD (on home O2 2 liters baseline sat below 90s), nonsmall cell lung cancer (diagnosed in 1999, status post multiple chemotherapy regimens, most recently ALIMTA from 1/29/2005 to 09), diabetes, obesity, and chronic renal insufficiency. Her MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Avapro, Lipitor, Decadron, ranitidine, Humalog, allopurinol, Alimta, Flonase, Vitamin D, B12, and Colace. She was initially treated with vancomycin, Levaquin, and aztreonam along with Flagyl empirically, and later changed to Levaquin only on 10/25/2005 to treat an enterococcal UTI and possible nosocomial pneumonia. She had thrombocytopenia and required multiple red blood transfusions to maintain her hematocrit greater than 26, though she was never hemodynamically unstable. She also required multiple platelet transfusions to keep her platelets greater than 30,000. She responded well initially to three units of packed red blood cells over 7/28/2005 and 09. However, in the setting of her GI bleed from a sloughing mucosa secondary to resolving neutropenic enteritis and recent chemo, she required multiple further RBC transfusions to keep her hematocrit greater than 30. Hematology was consulted secondary to suboptimal busted platelet levels status post transfusions, which was felt to be secondary to poor marrow response in the setting of recent chemo (workup was negative for other possible causes refractory thrombocytopenia, nystatin, allopurinol, were held given possible worsening of her thrombocytopenia). Surgery was consulted and she was managed conservatively with antibiotics initially and then with bowel rest. TPN was started on 4/21/2005, given her bowel rest for a neutropenic enteritis. She was changed to standing insulin on 10/25/2005 and her Lantus was up titrated along with sliding scale insulin to maintain blood sugars in the 80s to 120s. She is no longer neutropenic and was off Neupogen for one week and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for coverage. On discharge her hematocrit and platelets were stable respectively at 29.8 and 46,000 and she had not required a transfusion in greater than 24 hours prior to discharge. Her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS included Tylenol 650 to 1000 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, headache, if fever is greater than 101, Peridex mouth wash 10 mL twice a day, nystatin mouth wash 10 mL swish and swallow 4 x day as needed, oxycodone 5 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, simethicone 80 mg PO q.i.d. PRN gaseousness, trazodone 25 mg PO at bedtime, miconazole nitrate 2% powder topical BID to areas between skin folds including under the right breast, Nexium 20 mg PO daily, Lantus 30 mg subcutaneous daily, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg Nebs q. 3 h. PRN shortness of breath, aspart 4 units before each meal subcutaneously, folate 3 mg PO daily, Avapro 150 mg PO daily, meclizine 25 mg PO TID, Combivent 2 puffs inhaled q.i.d., Vitamin D 125 0.25 mcg PO daily. She will follow up with infectious disease and hematology for her neutropenia, which has since resolved, and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for UTI coverage.

Has the patient had previous lipitor

Ms. Hora is a 45 year old woman with hypertensive disease, diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea and peptic ulcer disease who presented with sustained chest pain and shortness of breath.

Patient Scotty P. Orpen, a 76 year-old female with a history of MI (1984), PVD, CVA, DVT, and supraglottic laryngeal SCC who underwent XRT in 2002, presented to the ED with "stabbing pins" CP which initially started next to the L breast in the midaxillary line that radiated to her breast, sternum, neck, and back around to the L midaxillary line. The patient was given ASA, NTG (partial relief, but dropped BP), heparin bolus &amp; cont infusion, FAMOTIDINE 20 MG PO BID, LASIX (FUROSEMIDE) 80 MG PO QD, MOTRIN (IBUPROFEN) 300 MG PO Q6H, ZOCOR (SIMVASTATIN) 20 MG PO QHS, ECASA (ASPIRIN ENTERIC COATED) 325 MG PO QD, and MAALOX-TABLETS QUICK DISSOLVE/CHEWABLE 1-2 TAB PO Q6H PRN Upset Stomach. The patient was also instructed to take the syrup form of MOTRIN with food, and to avoid grapefruit with ZOCOR unless otherwise instructed by the MD. The patient was given a low cholesterol/low saturated fat diet and a 2 gram sodium diet, and instructed to resume regular exercise. The rib film preliminary read was without fracture but did have some loss of height of vertebral bodies suggestive of compression fractures which she was treated with Motrin for muscular pain. The suspicion for CHF and PE was low and no anticoagulation was given, and she was ruled out for MI while in the house. Her pain was thought to be musculoskeletal in origin and was treated with NSAIDS. The patient was discharged with instructions to follow up with Dr. Haddow within 1 week of discharge, to call for an appointment, and to continue to take all of her medications as directed.

A 54M with a history of CHF admitted with chest pain and troponin elevation likely due to a hypertensive emergency was found to have a 100% RCA lesion but well collateralized and no other CAD at cardiac catheterization. Keys to management were aggressive BP control with medications, low salt diet, and weight loss; cont ASA, statin, and Lasix 160 in AM, 120 in PM for volume control. Troponin trended down and the patient remained asymptomatic in house. The patient was monitored on tele with no events. The patient was also given Mucomyst, DM on diet control, and Hba1c pending. The patient was also found to have a history of OSA on CPAP which was likely contributing to pulmonary hypertension given the HCT 55. CPAP and weight loss were encouraged. The patient was discharged on Acetylsalicylic Acid 81 MG PO QD, Lasix (Furosemide) 160 MG QAM; 120 MG QPM PO 160 MG QAM, Lisinopril 80 MG PO QD, MVI Therapeutic (Therapeutic Multivitamins) 1 TAB PO QD, Norvasc (Amlodipine) 10 MG PO QD, Toprol XL (Metoprolol (Sust. Rel.)) 200 MG PO QD, Ambien (Zolpidem Tartrate) 5 MG PO QHS, and Depakote ER (Divalproex Sodium ER) 1,000 MG PO QD with instructions to take consistently with meals or on empty stomach, avoid grapefruit unless MD instructs otherwise, and give Ambien on an empty stomach (give 1hr before or 2hr after food). Additional comments were given to continue medications as prescribed, monitor BP, cut out salt, and lose weight. The patient was discharged in a stable condition with follow-up appointments with primary cardiologist and primary care doctor.

Has the patient ever tried nitroglycerin 1/150 ( 0.4 mg )

The patient is a 61-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, who was initially treated with afterload reduction, digoxin and Lasix. A PA line was placed with RA 8, RV 76/4, TA 80/36, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 34, and cardiac index 1.49. He was then treated with dobutamine, intravenous TNG, and nitroprusside with symptomatic relief and hemodynamic stabilization with wedge pressure falling to 18. TNG and Nipride were successfully weaned, however, the patient remained dobutamine dependent. One week prior to transfer, the patient was admitted to Ment Hospital for management of his congestive heart failure and grew gram positive cocci from two blood cultures. He was then started on vancomycin and defervesced, and subsequently grew gram negative rods in one out of four blood culture specimens. These were gram negative enteric rods, pan-sensitive, for which the patient was started on ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6. At the time of discharge, the patient was stable, dobutamine dependent, without chest pain, able to ambulate from chair to commode without shortness of breath, palpitations, or light-headedness. His medications at time of discharge included dobutamine at 15 mcg per kilogram per minute; captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d.; digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d.; Lasix 160 mg p.o. b.i.d.; potassium chloride 20 mEq p.o. b.i.d.; Coumadin 1 mg p.o. q.d.; Atrovent, two puffs q.i.d.; Azmacort, eight puffs b.i.d.; Pepcid 20 mg p.o. b.i.d.; Colace 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.; vancomycin 1 gm q. 12, discontinued 9-23 a.m. after 14 days; ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6 (24 of June equals day number five); Halcion 0.125 p.o. q.h.s. prn; Serax 15 mg p.o. q. 6 hours prn. The patient's condition at time of discharge is fair and will be continuing care in the coronary care unit of the hospital inpatient near patient's home under the care of Doctor Daren Swasey.

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain. She was discharged to home and is to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Gayle Demeritt, and her cardiologist, Dr. Mark Willians, at ACSH. ALLERGIES: Penicillin which causes anaphylaxis.

The 65-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and no known hx of CAD was admitted with chest pain. On November 1997, an exercise treadmill test revealed a maximal heart rate of 127 and maximal blood pressure of 134/80, with 1 millimeter of ST depression in V5 and T-wave inversions in V4-V6, consistent with, but not diagnostic ischemia. She had a history of sarcoidosis, seizure disorder, pacemaker placement, appendectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy for cervical cancer, adult onset diabetes mellitus, and left calf deep vein thrombosis in 1993. Medications at the time of admission included Linsinopril 5 mg q.d., Pravachol 20 mg q.h.s., aspirin 325 mg q. day, atenolol 0.5 mg b.i.d., Dilantin 200 mg b.i.d., Ventolin inhaler p.r.n., and ferrous gluconate 325 mg t.i.d. Hematocrit on June 1997 was noted to be 29.3 and the patient had been on iron supplements since then. On admission, she was given Nitrol paste and, for her ischemia, she was transfused with one unit of packed red cells. Diagnostic ischemia was present, and she was started on aspirin and atenolol. In the past, she has been treated with prednisone and black secondary to iron supplementation. Two cardiac catheterizations were performed, which showed a 70% residual osteal diagonal stenosis and 0% left anterior descending stenosis. A stent was placed in the diagonal artery with 0% residual stenosis and her left anterior descending was stented. At the time of discharge her medications included Ticlid 250 mg p.o. b.i.d., albuterol inhaler 2 puffs q.i.d. as needed for shortness of breath, enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., atenolol 37.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 sublingual one tablet q. 5 minutes times three for chest pain, and Dilantin 200 mg p.o. b.i.d. She was also taking linsinopril 5 mg q.d., Pravachol 20 mg q.h.s., ferrous gluconate 325 mg t.i.d., and Ventolin inhaler p.r.n. She is scheduled to followup with Dr. Doug Millis in her office in one week and will follow up with cardiology as an outpatient.

A 63-year-old male with a history of CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) and two prior MIs (Myocardial Infarctions) presented with atypical chest pain and was admitted with a 100% LCx lesion unable to be stented. He was on medical management with Atenolol, Ace-I, and Aspirin (ECASA) 325 mg PO QD until the day of admission when he woke up with left arm and shoulder pain reminiscent of an old MI. Attempts at relief with nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 mg) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 were unsuccessful, so he called EMS. In the ED, EKG and TnI were flat and he was started on heparin for unstable angina. Serial CKs were flat and he had no recurrence of chest pain in the hospital. He is to follow-up with Dr. Tollner with the possibility of ETT-MIBI as an outpatient. Discharge medications included Wellbutrin (Bupropion HCl) 200 mg PO QD, Colace (Docusate Sodium) 100 mg PO BID, FESO4 (Ferrous Sulfate) 300 mg PO BID, and Zocor (Simvastatin) 40 mg PO QHS. Additional instructions included taking the increased dose of Zestril 10 mg PO QD, making a follow-up appointment with Dr. Cyrus in the next week or two, and returning to the hospital if experiencing an increase in chest pain or shortness of breath at rest. The discharge condition was stable and he was discharged home with instructions to do an ETT-MIBI as an outpatient, check K and Cr within 1-2 weeks, and get a referral to GI and EGD as an outpatient.

Mr. Legions is a 54 year old professor who presented to Menjack Hospital Medical Center with recurrent substernal chest pain one day after coronary artery bypass graft (5 vessel bypass) 8 years ago. His coronary risk factors include a positive family history and a previous diagnosis of hyperlipidemia. He was given Lovastatin 40 mg q q.m. and 20 mg q p.m., as well as enteric-coated aspirin one tablet q day. At Skaggssin Hospital, he was given IV nitroglycerin, IV heparin, Nifedipine SL, and morphine, in addition to aspirin and Lovastatin. The patient's pain was relieved with four sublingual nitroglycerin and an EKG demonstrated one sublingual nitroglycerin and these EKG changes resolved. He was treated symptomatically with Tylenol and started on Biaxin 500 mg po bid, and also received a five day course of oral Biaxin with Cholestyramine one packet po q hs, Lopressor 50 mg po tid, and Sublingual nitroglycerin 1/150 tablets to be taken prn. The patient had episodes of fever, achieving a maximum temperature of 101.4, and a chest x-ray on 0/26/95 demonstrated evidence of early congestive heart failure. The patient was treated with daily doses of IV Lasix with resolution of his rales. He was admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit on IV heparin and nitroglycerine as well as continuation of his aspirin and Lovastatin. His pain was treated with morphine sulfate and relieved with four sublingual nitroglycerin. An EKG demonstrated one sublingual nitroglycerin and these EKG changes resolved. After 24 hours pain-free, the patient was transferred to the Cardiac Step-Down floor and the IV nitroglycerin and IV heparin were discontinued. An echocardiogram demonstrated inferior and posterior hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of approximately 46%, and the patient underwent a submax MIBI to assess coronary perfusion of the heart. The exercise component of this examination demonstrated EKG changes consistent with ischemic coronary flow. Nuclear imaging demonstrated a fixed apical lateral defect in the patient's heart consistent with a healed or healing transmural infarct. The patient also complained of progressive anterior and lateral thigh pain, symptoms consistent with an upper respiratory viral infection, and rales 4 to 5 cm above the bases bilaterally. He was discharged to home with followup in MERH under Drs. Dwayne Ariel Bremme with the medications Enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg po q day, Cholestyramine one packet po q hs, Lovastatin 20 mg po q hs, Lopressor 50 mg po tid, and Sublingual nitroglycerin 1/150 tablets to be taken prn with chest pain.

Has this patient ever tried hypoglycemics

At the time of admission, the 73-year-old patient presented with altered mental status, intractable explosive diarrhea, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, myelodysplastic syndrome, peripheral vascular disease, gastrointestinal bleed, prostate cancer, and macular degeneration. His current medications included Opium Tincture, Aspirin, Lomotil, Lasix, Ditropan, Lopid, Zocor, Atapryl, and Iron. His physical examination was notable for a jugular venous pressure at 5 cm, moist mucous membranes, and soft, nontender, nondistended abdominal examination. His mental status improved quickly with respiratory status significantly with occasional nebulizer treatments of Albuterol and Atrovent. His losartan was held at admission due to acute renal failure, but other outpatient medications were continued. At the time of admission, Kaopectate and Lomotil were started for the guaiac positive brown stool. Chest x-ray was clear, and it was felt that the most likely etiology of his acute worsening of his diarrhea was viral gastroenteritis. He received a 7-day course of Levofloxacin and Flagyl for empiric abdominal coverage and remained afebrile since the time of his antibiotics. An MRI showed proximal disease in the SMA, IMA, and Celiac but overall with good distal flow, and an abdominal CT showed a thick small bowel and dilated gallbladder with stranding. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed Grade IV Gastritis, and the patient was started on Nexium 40 b.i.d. His BUN was in the fifties with a creatinine of 2.2 throughout the hospitalization, and he was discharged on a full p.o. diet and instructed to supplement his diet with high nutrition Boost shakes. At the time of discharge, the patient was oxygenating well with no evidence of fluid overload or infiltrates. Occasional wheezes were noted and he will follow-up with Dr. Venzor following discharge.

has there been a prior iron

This is a 70-year-old woman with ischemic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease status post MI, insulin-dependent diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal insufficiency who presented in volume overload after a previous admission. She had been diuresed with a Lasix drip at 10 mg per hour and Zaroxolyn at 2.5 mg p.o. daily, and her Lopressor was held for a decompensated heart failure. She was then started on amiodarone and Coumadin for a new paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Her Lasix drip was increased to 20 mg per hour and the Zaroxolyn was increased to b.i.d. After transition from Zaroxolyn to Diuril, which was given 250 mg IV b.i.d., she was prescribed Ativan 0.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. p.r.n. anxiety, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lipitor 80 mg p.o. at bedtime, Lantus 18 units subcutaneously nightly, Lopressor 25 mg p.o. b.i.d., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every other week, Nitroglycerin sublingual p.r.n. chest pain, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Vitamin B12 subcutaneous injections at clinic, Iron 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Metolazone p.r.n., Multivitamin one tablet p.o. daily, Torsemide 100 mg q.a.m. and 50 mg q.p.m., Coumadin 1 mg q.p.m., and Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily. Despite the dose of Coumadin being decreased from her home dose of 1 mg q.p.m. to a 0.5 mg q.p.m., her INR continued to rise greater than 200. She was started on q.a.c. NovoLog regimen with her Lantus insulin dose decreased from 18 units to 16 units and the NovoLog sliding scale was started. She was monitored on telemetry with no other events and required repletion of both potassium and magnesium despite her renal insufficiency throughout the admission in the setting of injected insulin in the setting of worsening renal failure, so, studies were also normal. She was continued on Aranesp through the admission and was discharged home on a similar regimen to her home regimen simply to Torsemide after the last discharge as her outpatient p.o. Torsemide regimen of 100 mg p.o. q.a.m. and 50 mg q.p.m., Lantus 12 units subcutaneously nightly, Ativan 0.5 mg p.o. t.i.d., Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lipitor 80 mg p.o. at bedtime, Multivitamin one tablet p.o. daily, Coumadin 1 mg q.p.m., Metolazone 2.5 mg p.o. daily as needed for fluid retention, Iron 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., and Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily. She was maintained on a cardiac diet and prophylaxis with Coumadin and Nexium. Potassium and magnesium were repleted as needed and she was maintained on aspirin and Lipitor throughout the admission. She will follow up with her primary care provider, SRRH Cardiology Clinic, and Renal Clinic.

has there been a prior guiatuss ( guaifenesin )

This 75-year-old female vasculopath was admitted for further evaluation of her peripheral vascular disease which was suspected to be contributing to her new ulcerations and progressively worsening bilateral foot pain, foot mottling and wrist pain as an exacerbating factor to likely atheroembolic phenomenon, status post coronary catheterizations earlier in the year. She was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics and plan was made for an MRA to evaluate her anatomy, unfortunately, the patient was unable to tolerate the MR and did experience some mental status changes that prevented further noninvasive imaging when she received some narcotic following her hemodialysis round. Over the ensuing days she required rather significant doses of Zyprexa and Haldol to contain agitation and delirium, as the patient would also get physical and violent. This appeared to sedate her sufficiently and over the following days, she did manage to calm significantly and returned to her baseline mental status. Cardiology was consulted during this time to optimize her prior to the OR and her primary cardiologist, Dr. Fugle, did make some recommendations including an echocardiogram that showed preserved ejection fraction and no wall motion abnormalities. Her beta blockade was titrated up and she was instructed to follow up with cardiology. She did tolerate hemodialysis throughout this time without undue difficulty and they offered an angiogram to delineate aortic and bilateral lower extremity runoff anatomy. After extensive discussions with the patient and the patient's family, the patient did agree to a left femoral to dorsalis pedis bypass graft which was performed on 0/25/2006 without complication. By time of discharge, she was tolerating a regular diet and ambulating at baseline with her rolling walker. The pain was well controlled with minimal analgesics that were not narcotic based. Medications on admission included Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Cardizem 60 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lipitor 80 mg daily, Atrovent 2 puffs four times a day, Albuterol 2 puffs b.i.d., Renagel 806 mg p.o. every meal, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. daily, Zaroxylyn 2.5 mg p.o. daily p.r.n. overload, Lantus 10 units subcutaneous nightly, Regular insulin sliding scale, Valium 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Hydralazine 20 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lopressor 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aciphex 20 mg p.o. daily, Neurontin 300 mg p.o. post-dialysis, Metamucil, Nitroglycerine p.r.n., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every week, Lilly insulin pen, unknown dosage 20 units every morning and 10 units every evening, Loperamide 2 tabs p.o. four times a day, Ambien 10 mg p.o. nightly p.r.n., Tylenol 325 mg p.o. every four hours p.r.n. pain, Albuterol inhaler 2 puffs b.i.d., Calcitriol 1.5 mcg p.o. every Monday and every Friday, Darbepoetin alfa 100 mcg subcutaneous every week, Ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Prozac 40 mg p.o. daily, Motrin 400 mg p.o. every eight hours p.r.n. pain, Insulin regular sliding scale, and Sevelamer 800 mg p.o. t.i.d. Discharge instructions included touchdown weightbearing on the left heel, legs are to be elevated as much as possible while sitting or lying down, all home medications were to be resumed except for Lopressor, VNA was ordered to assist with wound care including Betadine paint to incisions daily, showering only, no bathing or immersion in water for prolonged periods of time, and follow-up visits with Dr. Amorose in one to two weeks and Dr. Morici primary care physician in one week.

She was also transitioned to Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d. with a renal adjustment and was sent to the ED for diuresis where she was given 60 mg of Lasix.

What was the dosage prescribed of nph

The patient was admitted on 4/20/2006 with an Altered Mental Status. A team meeting was held on 3/25/06 and the patient was started on 250 mg b.i.d. of Depakote and Haldol was reduced to just Monday-Wednesday-Friday 1 mg before hemodialysis and 1 mg p.r.n. agitation. On 0/16/06, the patient was diagnosed with pneumonia and started on ceftriaxone IV and Flagyl, which was switched to cefpodoxime and Flagyl for discharge. The patient began to spike fevers on 11/29/06 and was started on antibiotics of ceftriaxone and Flagyl, which was switched to cefpodoxime and Flagyl for discharge, and the cefpodoxime should be dosed after dialysis on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. In terms of endocrine, the patient ultimately discontinued on a regimen of 7 units of Lantus q.a.m. and q.p.m. with 5 units aspart q.a.c. breakfast and lunch and 4 units of aspart q.a.c. dinner. His sliding scale was very light and he is only to be covered with one to two units of aspart during the night as insulin stacks in this patient very easily. At the time of discharge, the patient's fingersticks were well controlled in the 100-200 range and his mental status was A&amp;O x3 and appropriate. Medications on discharge included PhosLo 2001 mg p.o. t.i.d., Depakote 250 mg p.o. b.i.d., folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Haldol 1 mg IV on Monday-Wednesday-Friday given prior to hemodialysis, labetalol 350 mg p.o. b.i.d., lisinopril 80 mg p.o. daily, Flagyl 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. for 14 days, thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Norvasc 10 mg p.o. daily, gabapentin 300 mg p.o. q.h.s., cefpodoxime 200 mg p.o. three times a week on Monday-Wednesday-Friday for eight doses given after hemodialysis, Nephrocaps one tablet p.o. daily, sevelamer 2004 mg p.o. t.i.d., Advair diskus 250/50 one puff b.i.d., Nexium 20 mg p.o. daily, Lantus 7 units subcutaneous b.i.d. once in the morning and once evening, aspart 4 units subcutaneous before dinner and 5 units subcutaneous before breakfast and 5 units subcutaneous before lunch, aspart sliding scale starting at blood sugar less than 125 give 0 units, blood sugar 125-300 give 0 units, blood sugar 301-350 give 1 unit, blood sugar 351-400 give 2 units, blood sugar 400-450 give 2 units, albuterol butt paste topical daily, and then p.r.n.

Has this patient ever tried folate

Ms. Elter is an 83-year-old Spanish-speaking female with history of CAD, distant three-vessel CABG, CRI, NSTEMI in 4/20 and type II diabetes who presented to the ED with PND, dyspnea on exertion, and chest heaviness with no fevers or chills and no sick contacts, and EMS had given her Lasix and Nitrospray. She was briefly on a nonrebreather mask and responded to 80 mg of IV Lasix, with her potassium level reaching 5.8 and Kayexalate administered. Her medications included aspirin, metoprolol, allopurinol, valsartan, glipizide, Lipitor, and nifedipine, with her oxygen saturation eventually reaching the high 90s on a couple of liters of oxygen and her chest x-ray full set negative. She was treated with aspirin, beta-blockers, and statin for coronary artery disease, experienced a CHF flare with an elevated BNP which was managed with Lasix and Diuril, and her after load was reduced with ARB and her previous home calcium channel blocker was weaned off. She had a transient new atrial fibrillation and ventricular ectopy which resolved spontaneously, and was placed on humidified room air with nasal saline sprays and Afrin due to her coronary artery disease. She was transfused a total of 3 units to keep her hematocrit greater than 30 and Coumadin was initially started given her new onset of atrial fibrillation, but ultimately only aspirin was given after consideration of risks versus benefits. She had some constipation which was relieved with stool softeners and the patient received a PPI. Her DM-2 was managed with regular sliding scale insulin with good blood sugar control and her glipizide was held given her worsening creatinine clearance, and her allopurinol was changed to q.72h. from q.o.d. due to the creatinine clearance and she had some left heel and foot pain thought to be secondary to gout, which improved at the time of discharge. Her hematocrit dropped from 29 to 25, her guaiac was negative on the 3/20/04, and she was sent home with VNA support to follow up on her weights and fluid status and with home physical therapy. Her medications at the time of discharge included Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d., Lipitor 80 mg p.o. q.d., Metoprolol sustained release 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n. for constipation, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. q.72h., Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., and Valsartan 160 mg p.o. q.d.

What treatments has patient been on for coronary artery disease in the past

This is a 46-year-old morbidly obese female with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus complicated by BKA on two prior occasions, who was admitted to the MICU with BKA, urosepsis, and a non-Q-wave MI. On presentation to the Emergency Department, her vital signs were notable for a blood pressure of 189/92, pulse rate of 120, respiratory rate of 20, and an O2 sat of 90%. She was given insulin, sublingual nitroglycerin x three, 4 mg of morphine, 5 mg of Lopressor, and started on a heparin drip and IV antibiotics, and admitted to the MICU for further management. Her past medical history included insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus for how many years, positive ethanol use, approximately one drink per week, and denied IV drug use or other illicit drug use. She was placed on an insulin drip and hydrated with intravenous fluids, with improvement, and eventually transitioned to NPH with insulin sliding scale coverage. Despite escalating her dose of NPH up to 65 U subcu b.i.d. on the day of discharge, she continued to have elevated blood sugars >200 and required coverage with insulin sliding scale. This issue will need to be addressed as an outpatient. She was also placed on cefotaxime for gram negative coverage, with both her blood cultures and urine cultures growing out E. coli which were sensitive to cefotaxime and gentamycin. As she initially continued to be febrile and continued to have positive blood cultures, one dose of gentamycin was given for synergy, and she was eventually transitioned to p.o. levofloxacin and will take 7 days of p.o. levofloxacin to complete a total 14-day course of antibiotics for urosepsis. She was initially placed on aspirin, heparin, and a beta blocker, and once her creatinine normalized, an ACE inhibitor was also added. Heparin was discontinued once the concern for PE was alleviated, and her beta blocker and ACE inhibitor were titrated up for a goal systolic blood pressure of <140 and a pulse of <70. On admission, the patient was on several pain medicines, including amitriptyline, Flexeril, and Valium for reported history of sciatica and low back pain, which were discontinued and she was placed on Neurontin for likely diabetic neuropathy. She was also placed on GI prophylaxis with Carafate and treated symptomatically with Imodium p.r.n. diarrhea. The patient was discharged with enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., NPH Humulin insulin 65 U subcu b.i.d., human insulin sliding scale: for blood sugars 151-200 give 4 U, for blood sugars 201-250 give 6 U, for blood sugars 251-300 give 8 U, for blood sugars 301-350 give 10 U, Imodium 2 mg p.o. q. 6 hrs. p.r.n. diarrhea, Niferex 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 one tab sublingual q. 5 min. x 3 p.r.n. chest pain, multivitamin one tab p.o. q.d., simvastatin 10 mg p.o. q.h.s., Neurontin 600 mg p.o. t.i.d., levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.d. x 5 days, Toprol XL 400 mg p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. q.d. The patient was evaluated by the physical therapist, who noted her to walk around the hospital without significant difficulty.

Is the patient currently or have they ever taken nitroglycerin

This 54 year old gentleman presented to the Wickpro Conch Medical Center with an infected left lower leg pressure ulcer with open and gangrenous muscle exposed through the posterior wound. His past medical history is significant for insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, history of atrial fibrillation/flutter, and right sacroiliac joint decubitus ulcer. His physical examination revealed mottled distal extremities, bilateral inspiratory wheezes, and a positive bowel sound. The patient underwent a four vessel coronary artery bypass graft on 6/17/95 and left lower extremity fasciotomy on 11/27/95 and was taken to the Operating Room on 7/25/95 for a preoperative diagnosis of a left lower extremity infected pressure sore. Intraoperatively, the patient was noted to have necrosis of both heads of the gastrocnemius muscle and copious amounts of antibiotic-containing solution was used to irrigate the wound, for which he was started on Ampicillin, Gentamicin, and Flagyl empirically until culture results returned and was taken back on 2/29/95 for a second irrigation and debridement procedure. The patient was placed on Klonopin 1 mg po tid, Tylenol 650 mg p.o. q4h p.r.n. headache, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. qd, Albuterol nebulizer 0.5 cc in 2.5 cc of normal saline q.i.d., Capoten 25 mg p.o. qh, Chloral hydrate 500 mg p.o. q.h.s. p.r.n. insomnia, Clonopin 1 mg p.o. t.i.d., Digoxin 0.375 mg p.o. qd, Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Insulin NPH 38 units subcu b.i.d., Milk of Magnesia 30 cc p.o. qd p.r.n. constipation, Multivitamins one capsule p.o. qd, Mycostatin 5 cc p.o. q.i.d., Percocet one or two tabs p.o. q3-4h p.r.n. pain, Metamucil one packet p.o. qd, Azmacort six puffs inhaled b.i.d., Axid 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Ofloxacin 200 mg p.o. b.i.d. x 7 days, and Insulin NPH 38 units in the morning and 38 units at night. The patient was initially ruled out for a myocardial infarction following his first operative procedure and had no episodes of hypotension. He was switched over from Gentamicin to Ofloxacin to continue his antibiotic course and has been followed by the Infectious Disease service, receiving 7 more days of po Ofloxacin as an outpatient.

The patient had a hypoxic episode and EKG changes resolved, requiring 2u PRBCs, and was initially treated with lopressor 5mg IV, eventually rate controlled with dilt drip. PFT's , LFT's and TFT's were completed prior to discharge, and she was instructed to restart ecasa 5d p colonoscopy, as well as to take levofloxacin and flagyl for 5 days, and administer iron products a minimum of 2 hours before or after a levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin dose dose. Consider anticoagulation for PAF was recommended. On 1/16 she had Afib with RVR to 130s with chest arm pain which is her anginal equivalent. ECG with rate related ischemia ST depression V5-6, L. +Minimal troponin leak to 0.19, which subseq downtrended with nl CK. She was init treated with lopressor 5mg IV but had hypotension to 80's which resolved quickly with IVF. She was eventually rate controlled with dilt drip. She returned to sinus rhythm within the day. Cards c/s'd and recommended amio load. CXR showed no infiltrate/opacity. Levo/Flagyl given empirically x 5days though she remained afeb. Abdominal exam was concerning for focal peritoneal irritation. Her exam improved, and she was tolerating PO well at the time of discharge. She has been afeb and well appearing for several days prior to d/c. Plan to complete 5d abx. As per Dr. Thorburn her colonoscopy was complex, and she had polypectomy of 2.5 cm polyp. Path is pending. If + for cancer, the base looked "clean", so may be feasible to re-scope her for surveillance at a later time, as per GI. Hct after colonoscopy went to 24 ( baseline 30 ); post-transfusion HCt of 30.

What is the current dose of the patient's ecasa ( aspirin enteric coated )

A 59 year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer and a history of pulmonary embolism presented with symptoms of fatigue, lethargy, tachycardia and fever. CXR showed LLL opacity, LUL opacity and hilar fullness on the right with prominent bronchi (?cuffing) and vertebral fractures. She was admitted with bacteremia on 7/0/2006 and treated with whole brain radiotherapy in March 2006 and with weekly Taxol. Restaging studies showed stable visceral disease but progression of bony metastatic disease, so in January 2006, she initiated a second-line Navelbine therapy. At the ER, she was administered 1UPRBC, 1L NS, Levofloxacin 500 mg IV, and placed CVP~20. Her blood pressure systolic initially 120s but decreased to 90s (MAPS>70), and norepinephrine was administered. She was given TYLENOL (ACETAMINOPHEN) 650 MG PO Q6H PRN Pain, Temperature greater than:101, Other:transfusion premedication, ALBUTEROL NEBULIZER 2.5 MG INH Q4H PRN Wheezing, TESSALON PERLES (BENZONATATE) 100 MG PO TID PRN Other:congestion, BENADRYL (DIPHENHYDRAMINE) 12.5 MG PO x1 PRN Other:pre-transfusion, COLACE (DOCUSATE SODIUM) 100 MG PO BID PRN Constipation, ENOXAPARIN 40 MG SC DAILY, NEXIUM (ESOMEPRAZOLE) 40 MG PO DAILY, FLOVENT HFA (FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE) 110 MCG INH BID, INSULIN ASPART Sliding Scale.

Mr. Lewter is a 65-year-old gentleman with a history of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and peripheral vascular disease who presented to Tci Prosamp Memorial Hospital on 5/1/06 with unstable angina. EKG revealed sinus tachycardia with a new incomplete left bundle-branch block and downsloping 1-1.5 mm ST depressions in V3 through V6 and 1 mm depression in aVL. Cardiac catheterization revealed an ostial 100% stenosis in the left circumflex coronary artery, a proximal 60% stenosis and a mid 50% stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery, a proximal 80% stenosis and a mid 60% stenosis in the right coronary artery, a right dominant circulation, an ejection fraction of 30%, and collateral flow from the second diagonal to the third marginal in the right posterior left ventricular branch to the second marginal, as well as left ventricular hypokinesis and severe inferior and apical. The patient was not heparinized due to the fact that he was on Coumadin for peripheral vascular disease with a therapeutic INR. On 9/18/06, the patient underwent coronary artery bypass graft x3 with left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery, a sequential graft and a vein graft connecting from the aorta to the second obtuse marginal coronary artery and then to the left ventricular branch. He was on medications including Lopressor 37.5 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 mg daily, Colace 100 mg b.i.d., Pepcid 20 mg IV q.12h., insulin sliding scale, atorvastatin 80 mg daily, glipizide, Avandia, Zestril, metformin, meclizine, lactulose, vitamin C, Protonix, Niaspan, Neurontin, Zincate, and Coumadin for peripheral vascular disease. The patient was started on oral medication of glipizide 5 mg and was covered with a NovoLog sliding scale, was transfused 3 units of packed red blood cells, re-started on Coumadin for his reinsertion, and was started on Flomax 0.4 mg once a day. He had some urinary retention postoperatively and did require Foley catheter placement. He was discharged on Enteric-coated aspirin 81 mg QD, Colace 100 mg b.i.d. while taking Dilaudid, Lasix 40 mg QD x3 doses, glipizide 5 mg daily, Dilaudid 2-4 mg every three hours p.r.n. pain, lisinopril 2.5 mg daily, Niferex 150 mg b.i.d., Toprol-XL 150 mg QD, Lipitor 80 mg daily, Flomax 0.4 mg QD, potassium chloride slow release 10 mEq QD x3 doses with Lasix and Coumadin QD per INR result, and the patient will receive 4 mg of Coumadin this evening for his reinsertion and was instructed to remain on his Flomax until that time. Mr. Jana was discharged to rehab in stable condition and will follow up with his cardiologist Dr. Reuben Duttinger in one week, his heart failure cardiologist Dr. Wilton Durkee on 11/10/06 at 1:30 in the afternoon, and Urology Clinic at the Centsson Medical Center for his urinary retention in one week.

Has this patient ever been treated with niaspan

Ms. Dozois is a 64-year-old female admitted to MICU on 2/19/2005 for neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath, requiring intubation and pressors. Her medical problems included severe COPD (on home O2 2 liters baseline sat below 90s), nonsmall cell lung cancer (diagnosed in 1999, status post multiple chemotherapy regimens, most recently ALIMTA from 1/29/2005 to 09), diabetes, obesity, and chronic renal insufficiency. Her MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Avapro, Lipitor, Decadron, ranitidine, Humalog, allopurinol, Alimta, Flonase, Vitamin D, B12, and Colace. She was initially treated with vancomycin, Levaquin, and aztreonam along with Flagyl empirically, and later changed to Levaquin only on 10/25/2005 to treat an enterococcal UTI and possible nosocomial pneumonia. She had thrombocytopenia and required multiple red blood transfusions to maintain her hematocrit greater than 26, though she was never hemodynamically unstable. She also required multiple platelet transfusions to keep her platelets greater than 30,000. She responded well initially to three units of packed red blood cells over 7/28/2005 and 09. However, in the setting of her GI bleed from a sloughing mucosa secondary to resolving neutropenic enteritis and recent chemo, she required multiple further RBC transfusions to keep her hematocrit greater than 30. Hematology was consulted secondary to suboptimal busted platelet levels status post transfusions, which was felt to be secondary to poor marrow response in the setting of recent chemo (workup was negative for other possible causes refractory thrombocytopenia, nystatin, allopurinol, were held given possible worsening of her thrombocytopenia). Surgery was consulted and she was managed conservatively with antibiotics initially and then with bowel rest. TPN was started on 4/21/2005, given her bowel rest for a neutropenic enteritis. She was changed to standing insulin on 10/25/2005 and her Lantus was up titrated along with sliding scale insulin to maintain blood sugars in the 80s to 120s. She is no longer neutropenic and was off Neupogen for one week and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for coverage. On discharge her hematocrit and platelets were stable respectively at 29.8 and 46,000 and she had not required a transfusion in greater than 24 hours prior to discharge. Her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS included Tylenol 650 to 1000 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, headache, if fever is greater than 101, Peridex mouth wash 10 mL twice a day, nystatin mouth wash 10 mL swish and swallow 4 x day as needed, oxycodone 5 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, simethicone 80 mg PO q.i.d. PRN gaseousness, trazodone 25 mg PO at bedtime, miconazole nitrate 2% powder topical BID to areas between skin folds including under the right breast, Nexium 20 mg PO daily, Lantus 30 mg subcutaneous daily, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg Nebs q. 3 h. PRN shortness of breath, aspart 4 units before each meal subcutaneously, folate 3 mg PO daily, Avapro 150 mg PO daily, meclizine 25 mg PO TID, Combivent 2 puffs inhaled q.i.d., Vitamin D 125 0.25 mcg PO daily. She will follow up with infectious disease and hematology for her neutropenia, which has since resolved, and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for UTI coverage.

Has this patient ever been treated with flagyl

Mr. Neilsen is a 59-year-old morbidly obese man with a history of morbid obesity, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, ejection fraction of 40 percent, obstructive sleep apnea on continuous positive airway pressure, history of cellulitis, and presenting with progressive lower extremity weakness bilaterally and urinary incontinence. On admission, EMG showed decreased recruitment in the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius bilaterally, and he was treated with seven days of Bactrim for resolution of his incontinence and he was not anticoagulated at the moment though Coumadin should be a consideration given his risk of stroke. Two weeks prior to admission he noted some lumbar and sacral pain, nonradiating, worse while moving his right leg, and increasing urinary frequency without burning or urinary incontinence. On the night of admission, while getting up from a chair, his right leg gave out and he fell to the floor without injury or head trauma. His laboratory data on admission showed sodium 140, potassium 4.5, chloride 102, bicarbonate 26, BUN 20, creatinine 0.9, glucose 101, white blood cell count of 9 with 76 polys, 4 bands, hematocrit 37.6 and platelet count of 236, and urinalysis showed 3+ blood and positive leukocyte esterase with 15-20 white blood cells, one plus bacteria and one plus squamous cells. He was started on a trial of Lasix p.o. q day to decrease his peripheral edema to help him with rehabilitation, and he was instructed to apply Nystatin powder for his pannus rash. His medications on discharge included Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q day, Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg p.o. q a.m., Indomethacin 25 mg p.o. t.i.d. p.r.n. pain, Lisinopril 15 mg p.o. q day, multivitamin one tablet p.o. q day, Bactrim DS one tablet p.o. t.i.d., Tamsulosin 0.4 mg p.o. q day, and Miconazole 2% topical powder b.i.d., and he was discharged to rehabilitation care for leg strengthening in a stable condition.

What does the patient take indomethacin for

Mr. Royce Meidlinger is a 78-year-old male who was admitted on 11/12/05 with ADMISSION MEDICATIONS including Atenolol 25 mg daily, allopurinol 300 mg daily, and Flomax 0.8 mg daily. Cardiovascularly, he was on aspirin and had a pacemaker for sick sinus and was saturating well on 2 liters of oxygen delivered by Dobbhoff. Respiratorily, white count at preop baseline was afebrile completing 21 day course of linezolid for EC bacteremia and chest x-ray improved after adding low-dose Lasix. Renally, there was a postoperative increase in creatinine requiring dopamine 2 mcg, continued high chest tube output and an official echo report showed moderate TR, with no changes from prior echos. Hematology was treated with aspirin and anticoagulation and he had left upper extremity DVT as well, was started on argatroban, PTT to be therapeutic, with argatroban dose increased from 0.1 to 0.2, bridging to Coumadin, and argatroban dose reduced to maintain PTT of 50. He had profuse GI bleeding requiring 3 units of packed red blood cells, 2 units packed red blood cells with improvement in hematocrit, NG-tube aspiration with melena, and was HIT positive with worsening clinical syndrome. Foley was put in place with Lasix for reduced urine output and left hand demarcated with argatroban dose increased from 0.1 to 0.2, bridging to Coumadin, restarting Coumadin, postop day #51, patient went to OR with plastics for toe finger amputations/left hand debridement, holding tube feeds, was on triple antibiotic therapy for sputum/blood culture, and rehabilitation when restarting Coumadin. Postop day #54

What medications has the patient been prescribed for creatinine

A 58 year old female smoker with a history of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Cirrhosis, Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DMII), Hypertension (HTN), and Hyperlipidemia was admitted to the CCU after an elective cardiac catheterization following an abnormal stress test. The cath showed impaired flow in the inferior and posterolateral zones due to obstructive degenerative disease in the SVGs to the RCA and LCF-OM, and a stent was placed in the RCA graft though there was extensive calcification and difficulty obtaining full stent expansion. After the stent deployment there was poor reflow accompanied by mild chest pain and EKG changes, without hemodynamic embarrassment. The patient experienced jaw and chest pain post-procedure which she described as different from previous episodes of angina. The pump-function was preserved, BP low-normal, and rhythm was NSR on telemetry. For pulmonary issues, the patient had a chronic cough due to post nasal drip which was taken off of her antihistamine on admission and CXR was normal with no acute changes. There were no renal issues during the hospital course and the patient was on Lantus, Novolog SS, and FS Glu monitored while in the hospital. Heme-wise, the patient had a cath and subsequent oozing from the site in the groin and was discharged on home meds including Plavix and ASA.

It is important to call Dr. Mcquade for a follow up appointment within the next 1-2 weeks and to take all medications on the discharge list at the doses specified. The patient presents with pre-syncope, hypothyroidism, asthma, left hip pain, headache and polyarthralgias. The patient was monitored on tele and the atenolol could be a contributing factor to the bradycardia and was switched to bid frequency with 1/2 dose (25mg). GI symptoms include dyspepsia and was started on PPI and checked for H.pylori. Endocrine symptoms included a mildly subtherapeutic levoxyl which was increased to 75mcg qd. Pulmonary symptoms included asthma which was continued on albuterol inhaler PRN and DVT ppx with Lovenox. MSK symptoms included trochanteric bursitis which was treated with Tylenol.

Has this patient ever been prescribed zocor ( simvastatin )

This 62-year-old white male with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy was admitted with syncope. He had a history of anterior MI in 1980 and 1986 as well as a CABG in 1987 with LIMA to LAD, SVG to OM and SVG to PDA. Evaluation for heart transplant found cirrhosis by liver spleen scan which ruled out the possibility of transplant. His captopril dose was reduced from 37.5 mg to 25 mg t.i.d. with marked improvement in his energy and less dizziness. SVGs and a patent LIMA were found by Dobutamine radionuclide study, revealing inferior and inferolateral infarct. The patient's admission medications included Captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lipitor 20 mg p.o. q.d., NPH insulin 65 units subcu b.i.d., Xanax p.r.n., torsemide 120 mg p.o. q.a.m., torsemide 80 mg p.o. q.p.m., digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d., Synthroid 250 mcg p.o. q.d., and Prozac 20 mg p.o. q.d. He improved off diuretics, nitrates and ACE inhibitor as well as liberalization of his diet regarding salt and fluid intake. An endocrine consult was called to evaluate for possible contribution of autonomic insufficiency secondary to his diabetes mellitus. He was discharged home with services.

Has the pt. ever been on prozac before

Ms. Hesby is a 36-year-old woman with very poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, end-stage renal disease, right eye blindness, lower extremity neuropathy, gastroparesis, and a history of extensive infections. She presented to Path Community Hospital with a right thigh burn and infection, and was given a prescription for antibiotics, 20 units of IV insulin, 500 mL normal saline boluses, and several 250 mL boluses, as well as 2 amps of calcium gluconate, Kayexalate, albuterol nebs, and Augmentin and IV vancomycin for her right thigh cellulitis. For long-term management, she was prescribed Lantus 24 units subcu each night, NovoLog sliding scale, PhosLo, Nephrocaps, Vitamin D, Sevelamer 1600 t.i.d., Toprol 100 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Keppra 500 mg p.o. b.i.d., Flovent two puffs b.i.d., Albuterol p.r.n., Baclofen 5 mg p.o. t.i.d., and Ambien 10 mg p.o. at bedtime p.r.n. The patient was admitted with a diagnosis of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and was stabilized in the MICU on an insulin waves. She was then transitioned to NPH and finally to Lantus 24 units subcu and her hypertension is being managed on her home dose of Lopressor 25 q.i.d. and switched to Captopril, which is being titrated. Her area of cellulitis has completely resolved, and if she becomes acidotic, the patient can be managed with sodium bicarbonate and D5W in small boluses. The patient is taking her Nephrocaps and sevelamer and is receiving prophylaxis with heparin 5000 units subcu t.i.d., however she has consistently refused her heparin. Of note, on the night of 1/26/06, the patient complained of severe cramping, right lower quadrant pain, which is new. She noted this pain has increased rapidly in the setting of diarrhea. Several C. diff studies, which were sent recently have been negative and the patient has had no blood in her diarrhea. Presumed cause is Augmentin, which has been stopped. The patient has continued to eat freely and is passing diarrhea despite her complaints of 10/10 severe abdominal pain. A CT scan of her abdomen was ordered, but she refused to take oral or IV contrast. The results of this CT scan are pending and will be followed up by the new medical team.

What treatments if any has the patient tried for diarrhea. in the past

This is a 66-year-old man with spinal sarcoidosis and secondary paraplegia who presented with altered mental status, hypoxemic respiratory failure, and hypotension. He became hypotensive with intubation despite using etomidate with Levophed, and was started on vancomycin, gentamicin, Flagyl, and stress dose steroids with 1 liter of IV fluid. His urine was found to have Proteus, resistant to Macrobid, and Klebsiella, resistant to ampicillin, so he was started on Levophed with a systolic blood pressure in the 130's on 7 to 10 of Levophed and Levofloxacin was continued at 500 mg per day for a total 10-day course on in the evening, Regular Insulin sliding scale, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily, to end on 10/16/2006 for a total course of 10 days. Urology replaced the suprapubic catheter and he was started on maintenance IV fluids until cleared to eat by Speech and Swallow. His home medications included Regular Insulin sliding scale a.c. and at bedtime, NPH 54 units in the morning and 68 units in the night, baclofen 10 mg t.i.d., amitriptyline 25 mg at bedtime, oxybutynin 5 mg t.i.d., gabapentin 300 mg t.i.d., iron sulfate 325 mg t.i.d., vitamin C 500 mg daily, magnesium 420 mg t.i.d., Coumadin 5 mg daily, ranitidine 150 mg b.i.d., and calcium 950 mg daily. He was given a head CT without contrast and a chest x-ray that showed no obvious infiltrate. His INR was found to be elevated and he had a suprapubic catheter obstruction with bilateral hydronephrosis and distended bladder. He was given Nexium and Coumadin for prophylaxis and was started on a low dose of captopril on 8/14/2006 for diabetes, and was started on 12.5 mg b.i.d. metoprolol on 0/14/2006 with good results. He was given NPH 20 b.i.d. through his hospitalization and Regular Insulin sliding scale. His creatinine came down to 1.2 and he was given the new beta-blocker and the ACE inhibitor as well as baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., gabapentin 300 mg p.o. t.i.d., NPH human insulin 54 units in the morning, 68 units in the evening, Regular Insulin sliding scale, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily, magnesium oxide 420 mg p.o. t.i.d., metoprolol 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., oxybutynin 5 mg p.o. t.i.d., Panafil ointment t.i.d., and ranitidine 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. He was admitted with severe sepsis due to UTI, suprapubic catheter/ostomy for 12 years, diabetes type II, right DVT, on Coumadin, status post chronic UTI, and CPAP at night for pneumonia with ceftazidime, levofloxacin, and vancomycin. His sugars were controlled with no complications and was able to maintain blood pressures in the 130's. His creatinine was initially 2.7, and after receiving IV fluids, it came down to 1.2. He likely had acute renal failure secondary to postrenal obstructive etiology. His INR was found to be therapeutic and he had half of his home Coumadin dose while he was on levofloxacin, so he was given half of dose and his INRs came down to a nadir of 1.7. At discharge, his hematocrit was 27.2, down from 29, which was closed to his baseline of 34, and his INR was 2.1. He was placed on maintenance IV fluids until cleared to eat by Speech and Swallow, and was given amitriptyline 25 mg p.o. at bedtime, vitamin C 500 mg p.o. daily, baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate

The patient is a 59 year old female with multiple cardiac risk factors, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cholesterol, who presents with exertional chest discomfort and early positive ETT. The patient underwent catheterization on 2/13/92 and athrectomy of her proximal LAD lesion which was complicated by the onset of severe chest discomfort and 100% occlusion of the LAD. The patient was subsequently brought to the cath lab on 10/9/92 and dilated to a 30% residual with balloon PTCA. The patient's post PTCA course was complicated by several episodes of transient chest discomfort which was relieved both by Mylanta and sublingual TNG. Glucotrol 7.5 mg p.o. q-day, Mevacor 10 mg p.o. q.d., Isoril 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Propranolol 20 mg p.o. t.i.d., Nitroglycerin sublingual p.r.n., and Glucotrol with NPH subcu q.a.m. were administered, and the patient was treated with Mevacor for hypercholesterolemia. The patient was discharged with medications including Mevacor 10 mg p.o. q-day, Aspirin one p.o. q-day, Glucotrol 20 mg p.o. b.i.d., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lopressor 200 mg p.o. b.i.d., and NPH 26 units subcutaneously each morning.

Is there history of use of lopressor

Mrs. Wetterauer is a 54-year-old female with coronary artery disease status post inferior myocardial infarction in March of 1997, with sick sinus syndrome, status post permanent pacemaker placement, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone; also with history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. On 1/11, she experienced severe respiratory distress and was unable to be intubated on the field. She was ultimately intubated at Sirose, and an echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 25 to 30 percent with flat CKs. She was diuresed six liters and a right heart catheterization showed a pulmonary artery pressure of 40/15, wedge of 12, and cardiac output of 5.2. Hemodynamics indicated her cardiac output was dependent on her SVR. At the outside hospital, a right upper lobe infiltrate was noted and she was given gentamicin 250 mg times one, and clindamycin 600 mg. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and treated with clindamycin, which caused resolution of her white count. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. Her last admission was on 10/6 for atypical chest pain, and she was placed on Bactrim Double Strength b.i.d. times a total of seven days, as well as Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. Home medications include amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lopressor 50 mg p.o. b.i.d., Prempro 0.625/2.5 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. q.d., Coumadin, nitroglycerin sublingual, Zantac, beclomethasone, and Ventolin. Medications on transfer, Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.8, digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. The patient was also placed on Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d., atenolol 150 mg p.o. q.d., diltiazem CD 240 mg p.o. q.d., and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Mrs. Wetterauer was admitted to the Aley Coness-o Meoak Medical Center for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma. For her anxiety, the patient was treated acutely with Ativan and her problem resolved quite well, and she became more comfortable in the hospital. Diabetes Mellitus was managed with Glyburide held initially on admission, covered with insulin sliding scale, and restarted on discharge. Edema was managed with Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d. and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Urinary Tract Infection was managed with antibiotics. She was discharged with medications including amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg

What was the dosage prescribed of lasix

The patient had been taking Ativan of 3-4 mg q.d. for anxiety for the past two months and abruptly stopped taking it on March 1995 after which she started to have feelings of disorientation, and had been taking chloral hydrate 500 to 1000 mg q.h.s. for five days and Compazine with one dose. CURRENT MEDICATIONS: At home, patient took insulin NPH 25 units in the morning with Regular 10 units in the morning, aspirin 81 mg q.d., Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Compazine 5 mg q.6h. p.r.n. anxiety of which she took only one dose, and chloral hydrate 500 to 1000 mg q.h.s. for five days. On admission, her laboratory examination was significant for BUN of 17, creatinine of 1.0, glucose was 364, liver function tests were within normal limits, white count was 7.2, hematocrit was 36, and platelet count was 266. Neurology consultation was obtained who felt that patient's peripheral neuropathy was probably secondary to longstanding diabetes but felt that some of her symptomatology could be consistent with porphyria. Psychiatry felt that this episode was consistent with generalized anxiety disorder separated by post dysthymia and suggested phenothiazines which are proven to be safe in porphyria for treatment. She was started on Trilafon 2 to 4 mg p.o. p.r.n. q.6h. for anxiety and Keflex 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. for treatment. The patient was also seen to be orthostatic which was felt to be secondary to dehydration secondary to poor p.o. intake prior to admission and was treated with normal saline boluses and her orthostasis improved. Her Lopressor was also held with this episode of orthostasis. The Watson-Schwartz test done by Dr. Mohar on patient very early in the admission was negative which made an acute porphyria attack very unlikely. These episodes were felt to be secondary to a combination of anxiety attack and rapid taper of Ativan which she had been taking at moderately high doses for the last two months. Patient also developed urinary tract infection symptoms and her urine culture showed greater than 100,000 colonies of E. coli which were pansensitive. She was discharged to home on August in good condition on medications Aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d., insulin NPH 25 units subcutaneously q.a.m., insulin regular 10 units subcutaneously q.a.m., Trilafon 2 mg p.o. q.6h., and Keflex 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. Follow-up will be with Dr. Dario Rodriquz.

What urinary tract infection symptoms medications have ever been prescribed for pt. in the VA or mentioned in the record

How much altace ( ramipril ) does the patient take per day

The patient, a 77 year old woman, was admitted with complaint of urinary frequency and AMS. She has a possible allergy to Penicillins with a reaction of RASH and cannot tolerate floroquinolones. She was prescribed ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID 81 MG PO QD, LISINOPRIL 10 MG PO QD Starting Today ( 6/25 ), KCL SLOW RELEASE PO ( ref # 761602437 ), TOPROL XL ( METOPROLOL SUCCINATE EXTENDED RELEASE ) 100 MG PO BID HOLD IF: hr&lt;55 , sbp&lt;95, LANTUS ( INSULIN GLARGINE ) 19 UNITS QAM SC QAM Starting Today ( 6/17 ), WARFARIN SODIUM 5 MG PO QPM Starting ROUTINE , 20:00 ( Standard Admin Time ), ROSIGLITAZONE 2 MG PO QD, FUROSEMIDE 20 MG PO BID Starting Today ( 6/25 ) PRN Other:LE edema, SIMVASTATIN 10 MG PO QHS, CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL 200 MG PO BID X 16 doses Starting Today ( 6/25 ) HOLD IF: rash, and DIGOXIN 0.125 MG PO QOD with Food/Drug Interaction Instruction to Give with meals. Her AFIB became tachy to 140's with an elevated troponin to 1.69 which rose to a max of 2.41 with no EKG changes and was rate controlled and started on Levofloxacin. She was given 2 doses of vancomycin to cover potential staph infection and had an adenosine MIBI that showed no perfusion defects. Her INR was increasing due to the levofloxacin effect and was switched to ceftriaxone consistant with blood culture succeptabilities. Follow up blood cultures on 0/27 demostrated gram positive cocci in clusters and antibiotics were d/c'd after repeat cultures were negative. Her cardiac workup included an echocardiogram with RV dialation and wall akinesis with apical sparing , a new finding since last echo in '03. We have altered cardiac medications for better rate control by cancelling the coreg( carvedelol ) and Norvasc( amilodipine ) and replacing them with a blood pressure medication, Toprol XL( Metoprolol XL ) to better control the rate of her atrial fibrillation and the digoxin was also added for heart rate control. The patient was discharged in good condition and was given instructions to take the full course of antibiotics which cover the next 8days, to take medications with meals or on empty stomach and to avoid high Vitamin-K containing foods, to call PCP with any changes in urinary symptoms, or fever >101.0, return to ER if any changes in mental status, chest pain, SOB, or syncope, and follow-up with PCP within the next week with INR and digoxin levels. Do not use lasix unless necessary and contact PCP if using more than 1-2 times per week due to possible toxicity with digoxin use.

How much furosemide does the patient take per day

The patient is a 42-year-old white man who presented with complaints of fever to 103 and chills, a productive cough, and groin pain lasting three days. At age three, he was diagnosed with Wilms' tumor on the left, which was resected and subsequently treated with wide field radiation, after which he developed radiation-induced tyroid cancer, at which time he underwent subtotal thyroidectomy. In May of 1997, he underwent living related donor renal transplantation for chronic renal failure, however, the postoperative course was complicated by cytomegalovirus infection, presenting with diarrhea and requiring hospitalization in February 1997. He was treated with ganciclovir and subsequently maintained on Cytovene. He had one fever spike on hospital day one and Levaquin was initiated on hospital day three along with intravenous antibiotics, after which he was switched to oral antibiotics, including Levaquin and Augmentin. His blood pressures were stabilized at 130/80 with the initiation of a second antihypertensive medication, Nifedipine XL, for which he was maintained for two days at 30 mg. Hematologic studies revealed that he was continued on anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation at 4 mg daily with an INR remaining in his goal parameters. His creatinine level was 2.5 and his cyclosporine level was 303 on admission, reaching a maximum of 19.8 on hospital day four. Endocrine studies revealed a TSH of 0.02, a T4 of 6.0, and a THPR of 1.47. The patient's pulmonary status improved on oxygen and on intravenous antibiotics, and all studies for atypical organisms were negative. Prior to discharge, the patient's pulmonary status had returned to baseline and had entirely resolved. The patient was discharged on Augmentin 250/125 mg t.i.d., Levaquin 250 mg q.d., CellCept 500 mg b.i.d., Neoral 100 mg b.i.d., Prednisone 10 mg q.d., Synthroid 125 mcg q.d., INP insulin 14 units subcu q.a.m., regular insulin subcu p.r.n., Axid 150 mg q.d., nadolol 80 mg q.d., nifedipine XL 30 mg q.d., Coumadin 4 mg q.d., and iron sulfate 300 mg q.d., and follow-up was scheduled for bone densitometry in July 1998, with Dr. Clinton Ardizone in January 1998, and with Dr. Win in March.

Has the patient had multiple augmentin prescriptions

The patient is a 54-year-old man with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy who presents with weight gain, weakness, and azotemia. He was admitted with decompensated heart failure and was treated with dobutamine, seretide, and diuretics with good effect, functioning on ACE inhibitor. Two weeks prior to presentation, Digoxin 0.125 mg q.o.d., Imdur 30 mg q.d., hydralazine 25 mg t.i.d., torsemide was being held, Coumadin 1 mg q.d., carvedilol 3.125 mg b.i.d., allopurinol 100 mg q.d., Glucophage, and glyburide were administered. On 2/19/03, Diuril was added to his regimen and his creatinine was noted to increase from 2.6 to 3.6 and diuretics were subsequently held. The patient was loaded on amiodarone, unfortunately still required low dose dobutamine to maintain his cardiac output and was transferred back to the floor and continued to have decrease urine output on maximal diuretic doses and ionotropes. On 6/8/03, the renal surgery recommended that the dobutamine be stopped in order to enhance renal perfusion and Lasix be increased to 80 mg per hour. He has beyond less invasive measures such as digoxin and ACE inhibitors, and he is now dobutamine dependent dobutamine between 1 and 2.5 mcg/kg/minute to maintain his cardiac output, currently loaded on amiodarone without any further events. He has a chronic osteomyelitis, currently in a six-week course of ceftazidime, vancomycin, Flagyl, and Diflucan for complicated osteomyelitis, end date is on 2/30/03. He has diabetes and was on oral hypoglycemic as an outpatient, however, now this renal function, he has been transitioned over to insulin with his standing doses of Lantus with a lispro sliding scale. The patient was started on TPN for quite severe malnutrition and has increasing albumin with increased appetite. Additionally, he is on maintenance doses of hydrocortisone and was seen by Psychiatry, who suggested starting low dose of Zyprexa in the evening, which has greatly improved his mood. He is planned to be evaluated by Plastic Surgery prior to discharge for final plans whether a flap or healing by secondary retention. The patient currently is stable and would be discharged with home dobutamine and frequent and careful follow up by his primary cardiologist Dr. Mongiovi.

What medications if any has the patient tried for cardiac output. in the past

Loyd O. Karpinsky underwent a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement without complication and was transferred to the PACU in stable condition. Her pain was well controlled with PCA analgesia on POD0 and transitioned to po elixir analgesia following a negative upper GI study exhibiting no leaks. She was discharged on LANTUS (INSULIN GLARGINE) 10 UNITS SC QD, RANITIDINE HCL SYRUP 150 MG PO BID, ROXICET ELIXIR (OXYCODONE+APAP LIQUID) 5-10 MILLILITERS PO Q4H PRN Pain, COLACE (DOCUSATE SODIUM) 100 MG PO TID HOLD IF: diarrhea, PHENERGAN (PROMETHAZINE HCL) 25 MG PR Q6H PRN Nausea, and AUGMENTIN SUSP. 250MG/62.5 MG (5ML) (AMOXICIL...) 10 MILLILITERS PO TID Instructions: for five days. At the time of discharge, her pain was well controlled and she was tolerating a stage 2 diet, afebrile, and all incisions were clean dry and intact. She was instructed to take the medications without regard to meals and to resume regular exercise, walking as tolerated. She was also to follow up with Dr. Hinsley in 1-2 weeks and Diabetes Management Service in 3 weeks, and to avoid strenuous activity, swimming, bathing, hot tubbing, and driving or drinking alcohol while taking prescription narcotic (pain) medications.
