Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 7575**]
Chief Complaint:
fall with subsequent back and neck pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
66 yo R-handed woman with a history of right-sided sciatica, b/l
lumbosacral plexitis, seizure disorder, and qualitiative
platelet
disorder who presents to the emergency room s/p fall complaining
of head and neck pain that radiates to between her shoulder
blades.
Upon waking up this morning, the patient reports that she felt
light-headed as she walked down the [**Doctor Last Name **] near the top of the
stair-case. This happened after standing up from bed. This has
happened in the past. She subsequently fell in a supine position
down the first several stairs, hitting her buttocks and upper
back. She was able to cup the posterior aspect of her head with
her hands but reports hitting the stairs hard enough to cause
15/10 occipital head pain as well as pain to both hands. She
was
able to stand-up and with her husband's support walk back up the
stairs. She has also been on ultram for pain management. She
has
not taken any ultram since yesterday, though. There are no
remarkable changes on her medications. She was not on any
narcotics otherwise.
She was in such distress that her husband suggested that she
come
to the ED via ambulance and she agreed. Prior to the fall she
does not recall any prodromal symptoms, nor did she experience
any bowel/bladder incontinence. She also denies LOC, weakness,
numbness. She reports that her movement is limited by pain.
She reports her pain has improved after receiving morphine in
the
ED and is now of 6/ 10 intensity as compared to 25/ 20
previously.
She does have a history of myclonic seizures, but none in last
35
years. Reports occasional periods of getting lost while driving
or confusion in the grocery line which she believes may be
seizures. She also recalls episodes of shaking in her hands,
buttocks, or legs that she feels are seizure activity. When she
feels this shaking feeling coming on, she takes a lamictal
tablet
in order to prevent progression of seizure. She reports that
these episodes have occurred more often recently so she
increased
her lamictal dose on her own (from 150 [**Hospital1 **] to 200/ 250). She
also
reports occasional difficulty spelling or writing on a line.

Brief Hospital Course:
66 yr old female with rt sided sciatica, lumbosacral plexitis,
seizure disorder, myoclonic twitching who presented to the ED
[**2125-6-6**] s/p fall after feeling lightheaded and dizzy.
Electrolytes and toxicology screening negative. MRI C-S spine
showed C3-C4 -C6-7 canal stenosis. T/L spine were without
traumatic injury. Placed in cervical collar. No cord lesion. Her
MRA is negative. This is reassuring given her FH of two first
degree relatives with CNS aneurysms.
Initially, she remained in pain (partially controlled with
morphine iv rescue doses and standing ultram. Finally a
HYDROmorphone (Dilaudid) 0.25 mg IVPCA was started.
While on the floor, found to be orthostatic and therefore her
medications were adjusted. She was also given IV fluids. She is
no longer on percocet or firocet. Nortryptaline was
discontinued. Trazadone is now only prescribed at night. Ultram
was lowered to 50 mg PO q6. Lyrica is at 100 mg PO qam and pm.
Her urine was positive for UTI and she was treated with
Ciprofloxacin for 3 days. Initially had urinary retention, but
this resolved by the time of discharge.

FINDINGS:
In comparison with the study of [**10-2**], the endotracheal and
nasogastric tubes
have been removed. The atelectatic streak in the left mid zone
has cleared.
At the current time, there is no evidence of acute pneumonia or
vascular
congestion or pleural effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment and Plan: 44 year old woman with schizoaffective
disorder and SAH s/p coiling L MCA aneurysm transferred from OSH
with with epiglottitis and resp distress now intubated.
.
#. Epiglottitis/Hypercarbic Respiratory Failure: Patient
initially presented to OSH with sore throat and was found to
have imaging (Neck X ray and CT per report) consistent with
epiglottitis. ABG also consistent with hypercarbia and
respiratory acidosis with concomitant metabolic alkalosis. She
left OSH ED and subsequently presented with stridor and was
intubated for airway protection. Epiglottitis can be caused by
thermal or inhalational injury but is more commonly caused by
infection. The most common bacterial causes include H flu, strep
pneumo, beta hemolytic strep and staph aureus but viral causes
are also possible. Patient was intially treated with decadron
and empiric ceftriaxne. She was on insulin ss while on steroids.
Rapid resp viral panel sent, antigen was negative, viral
cultures pending at the time of discharge; blood cx sent and
were no growth. Patient was evaluated by ENT with laryngoscopy
while intubated and again after extubation. Initial impression
was that epiglottis was mildly inflamed. After she was
extubated, she had another endoscopic exam and was noted to have
some vocal cord dysfunction, improved with relaxation techniques
and no obvious epiglottitis. Patient was transferred to the
floor on [**10-3**] and continued to do well. Still had a sore throat,
but no wheezing or shortness of breath, no dysphagia. ENT also
recommended increasing omprazole to 40 mg daily. Have scheduled
outpt ENT follow-up
.
# PEA cardiac arrest- this occured while in ICU, patients pulse
returned after 1 minute or so of chest compressions. Etiology
was felt to be possibly secondary to biting the tube versus
related to propofol. Patient had some pleuritic chest pain
related to chest compressions later in hospital course, treated
with ibuprofen, tylenol and one dose oxycodone. patient has
oxycodone at home still for headaches and continue to take these
as needed for chest pain as well.
#. Anemia: HCT at current baseline 30-32 with high normal MCV.
.
#. h/o SAH and MCA aneurysm s/p coiling [**2130-7-2**] and repeat
coiling [**2130-9-1**]: Neurosurgery aware. No current active
issues
- continue aspirin 325mg PO daily , has f/u scheduled with
Neurosurgery.
.
#. Asthma: Continue albuterol prn (MDI while intubated) although
no current wheezing on exam
.
#. Schizoaffective disorder:
- continued home seroquel
- restarted home benzos, trazodone and gabapentin
.
#. h/o Polysubstance abuse: had urine tox positive for benzos
(gets these rx), amphetamines (on adderal) and barbiturates (on
butalbital for migraines). Denied current substance use.
#. ADHD: Held adderal in icu, restarted prior to discharge.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Vocal cord dysfunction
Epiglottitis
Cardiac arrest
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted with wheezing and difficulty breathing and
required intubation. You also had a cardiac arrest which lasted
a short period with return of your heart beat with cpr/chest
compressions. The likely cause of the wheezing was vocal cord
dysfunction, although a viral illness and or gastric reflux may
have been contributing. There was initially concern about
epiglottitis (inflammation of the epiglottis), but this only
mildly inflamed when they looked with a camera in your throat.
You will need to take a higher dose of omeprazole (40mg) and
will need to follow-up with ENT and pcp as scheduled. You should
continue your other outpatient medications as you did previously

CT ABD [**6-7**]
1. Large 9.0-cm hepatic lesion is incompletely characterized,
but CT appearance favors a large hemangioma. MR would be
necessary for definitive characterization.
2. Stable right adrenal hemorrhage. Given stability, acute
arterial
extravasation is very unlikely. Possibilities include adrenal
contusion
secondary to trauma versus a primary spontaneous adrenal
hemorrhage with
subsequent fall. MRI would be helpful to identified an
underlying cause of spontaneous hemorrhage if warranted
clinically.
CT ABD [**6-8**]
1. Large, approximately 9-cm liver laceration with small
central areas of vascularity. However, this has slightly
decreased in size since [**2174-6-7**]. Smaller linear parenchymal
abnormalities in the posterior right lobe are unchanged and
other parenchymal injury cannot be excluded.
2. Stable adrenal laceration.
MRI ABD:
1. Large hepatic laceration with hematoma, as seen on recent CT
scan, not significantly changed in size since the most recent CT
scan.
2. Hemorrhage into a right upper pole renal cyst.
3. Right adrenal hemorrhage as seen on CT scan.
4. Bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient had unremarkable hospital course. Upon admission to the
[**Hospital1 18**] emergency department, the lesion in the patient's lesion
was deemed stable hemagioma vs. liver laceration. The patient
was admitted to the TICU for monitoring and serial HCT. The
patient hct was stable over 24hrs - repeat CT abdomen and MRI
confirmed that the lesion was in fact a stable liver laceration.
The patient was transfered to the regular general surgery [**Hospital1 **]
were serial HCT continued to be monitored. The patient
complained of R shoulder and wrist pain - plain films revealled
no bony abnormality. Patient had a urinary analysis that was
positive and started on a three day course of ciprofloxacin.
Patient was evaluated by physical therapy and deemed stable for
discharge. Discharged home HD 6.

BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE:
86 yo F h/o HTN, sCHF, bleeding gastric ulcer s/p partial
gastrectomy [**2072**], hematemesis in [**2128**] [**2-3**] anastamotic bleed,
afib not on coumadin p/w nausea and vomiting, hematemesis
.
ACTIVE ISSUES:
# Hematemesis/Acute blood loss Anemia: Patient was initially
admitted to the ICU for frequent episodes of hematemesis with
stable blood pressures and heart rate in the ED. Initially Hct
was 36 in setting of dehydration and decreased to 26 after fluid
repletion. GI was consulted and EGD was done on day of
admission which showed likely Dieulafoy's lesion near
anastatmotic site from prior gastric bypass surgery, and three
clips were placed. Followup Hct was 24 after EGD, transfused 2
units of PRBC. She was scoped again the following day which
again showed bleeding Dieulafoy lesion and 2 clips were placed
and lesion injected. Followup Hct suggested continued bleeding
so she was transfused 2 more units PRBC. Third EGD was done on
[**2-16**] which showed no bleeding at anastamotic site and areas
suggestive of ischemia around the anastamotic site. Patient was
evaluated by the surgical team who recommended no acute
intervention and transfusion goal of Hct >30 and platelets >70,
IR was made aware of patient who recommended no acute
intervention. Throughout course in MICU patient's blood
pressure, urine output remained stable and patient was continued
on protonix 40 mg IV BID. She received total of 6 units PRBC in
MICU and antihypertensives were held. Her Hct remained stable
and she was transitioned to orals. H. pylori was also sent and
was negative.
.
# Afib: Pt history with atrial fibrillation, not on coumadin.
At home she is on rate control with atenolol and on digoxin,
however this was held in setting of acute bleed. She had one
episode of afib w/ RVR to 140s [**2-15**] around the EGD procedure.
The patient was given 2.5mg metoprolol IVx2 and 5mg IV x1. Pt
was otherwise in sinus during MICU stay. Her digoxin was
continued. Her beta blocker was started as Metoprolol on [**2-17**],
and she remained stable. Aspirin is being held in light of GI
bleeding.
.
#Hand pain/ swelling: Patient has chronic pain at baseline, on
[**2-16**] noted to have swollen and tender MCP joints. Pt with
history of sarcoidosis and inflammatory appearance of joints,
started short course of prednisone 20 mg x 4 days and standing
tylenol. Pseudogout was also a consideration. Hand xrays
ordered and showed nothing acute.
.
# Nausea/vomiting/abd pain: Pt has had episodes in the past of
nausea and vomiting usually post-prandial and is on PPI [**Hospital1 **] as
symptoms thought to be [**2-3**] GERD or recurrence of ulcers in the
past, viral gastroenteritis was also on differential. It is
possible that symptoms were also related to lesion at
anastamotic site. Zofran and IV morphine given with symptomatic
improvement. This was transitioned to oral oxycodone, and then
this was weaned because of fall risk. Abdominal exam remained
benign.
# leukocytosis: Initally WBC 15.5, improved without
intervention. [**Month (only) 116**] have been in setting of stress vs
gastroenteritis given sx of nausea, vomiting. No fevers during
stay in MICU, but was recently treated for cough and fever with
amoxicillin.
# Cough: has been ongoing for about 2 weeks, no change with
antibiotics and CXR with no acute process making PNA or CHF exac
less likely. [**Month (only) 116**] be related to viral bronchitis vs re-occurance
of sarcoidosis (had pulmonary sarcoid in the past, follows in
pulmonology). Being worked up as outpatient
# HTN: Held atenolol, lisinopril in setting of acute bleed.
Restarted low dose BB first on [**2-17**]. ACE-I held and restarted
at a lower dose (10mg daily, instead of 30mg daily). Should be
revaluated by PCP.
.
# chronic pain: pt with chronic pain in setting of multiple knee
and neck surgeries. She is on an oxycodone regimen per her PCP,
[**Name10 (NameIs) **] IV morphine in ICU since pt had increased pain and was
NPO. I did not give her more oxycodone since this increases
risk of falls, and she at times felt light-headed after taking
it when walking with walker (though proved to be stable on
evaluation). she was instructed not to drive on this medication.
# chronic systolic CHF: She appeared euvolemic on exam. Most
recent EF is 50% from dobutamine stress test. Beta blocker and
ACEI held in setting of bleed, but restarted gradually once her
bleeding resolved.
# depression: continued effexor

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
cardiac catheterization
ECMO
History of Present Illness:
74yo F referred to [**Hospital1 18**] for chest tightness and dyspnea for the
past month. It occurs both at rest and with exertion, related to
stress. She reports associated dizziness. She has episodes [**3-28**]
times per week. They last for a few minutes and resolve when she
lies down and relaxes.
During cardiac catheterization, she clotted off her left
circumflex artery and left anterior descending artery. Patient
became hypotensive requiring atropine and dopamine. Code was
called. Patient required 7 defibrillations.An IABP was placed. A
temporary RV pacing wire was placed. The patient was intubated.
Cardiopulmonary support (ECMO)was initiated via CPS perfusion
catheters placed in the RFA and RFV (the IABP and RV pacing wire
were removed). Access obtained in the LFA and LFV. Emergent
bedside echo showed no evidence of tamponade.She was
successfully resuscitated using CPS with emergent deployment of
drug eluting stents in LAD and LCx(Kissing stenting of the LMCA
into the LAD and LCX ).Patient had resumption of pulsatile
central aortic pressure after stenting of the LAD and LCx. An
IABP was placed.PA cath c/w ischemic MR.
She has massive blood loss during the procedure and has recieved
5U PRBC and 1u platelet prior to transfer to CCU. Echo post cath
showed small pericardial effusion, mild aymmetric LVH, nl LV
size, mildly depressed LVEF
Patient did well in cath lab and ECMO weaned off. Given the ACT
of >900, it was determined to be safer to have the ECMO
catheters removed in OR. Patient went to the OR and vascular

-echo [**2127-3-24**]
1. The left atrium is normal in size.
2.There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. LV appears underfilled.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is mild to moderately
depressed. Resting regional wall motion abnormalities include
inferior and inferoseptal akinesis.
3. Right ventricular chamber size is normal. Right ventricular
systolic function appears depressed with apical akinesis.
4.The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with
good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. 5.The mitral
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen.
6.There is a small pericardial effusion. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
7. There is an echogenic density in the right ventricle
consistent with a catheter.
PROCEDURE DATE: [**2127-3-24**]
INDICATIONS FOR CATHETERIZATION:
chest pain
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Acute embolic occlusion of the LCx artery during cardiac
catherization complicated by cardiac arrest requiring initiation
of
cardiopulmonary support.
2. Kissing stenting of the LMCA into the LAD and LCX.
COMMENTS:
1. Initial resting hemodynamics revealed normal right and left
sided
filling pressures.
2. Left ventriculography revealed normal systolic function.
3. In preparation for selective coronary angiography, the JL4
was
advanced into the ascending aorta. This was done without
difficulty and
the catheter was cleared and flushed per routine, with contrast
clearing
in the ascending aorta (well outside the sinuses of Valsalva).
The
first puff in the LMCA suggested occlusion of the LCx. The first
cineangiogram showed mild LMCA plaquing with abrupt cutoff and
total
occlusion of the LCx. There was mild diffuse plaqing in the LAD.
4. The patient became progressively bradycardic and hypotensive
(SBP <
40mmHg) and a code was called. Atropine, dopamine and
epinephrine were
given. Chest compressions were started. The patient developed
recurrent VT and VF and the patient was defibrillated at 360J
approximately 7 times. An IABP was placed. A temporary RV pacing
wire
was placed. The patient was intubated.
5. CT surgery was emergently consulted. Cardiopulmonary support
(ECMO)
was initiated via CPS perfusion catheters placed in the RFA and
RFV (the
IABP and RV pacing wire were removed). Access obtained in the
LFA and
LFV. Emergent bedside echo showed no evidence of tamponade.
6. Limited angiography of the RCA showed minimal CAD.
7. Successful kissing stenting of the LAD/LCX back to the ostium
of
the LMCA was performed with a 3.0 x 33 mm Cypher DES (LAD) and
LCX 2.5 x
28 mm Cypher DES (LCX).
8. Patient had resumption of pulsatile central aortic pressure
after
stenting of the LAD and LCx. An IABP was placed.
9. HCt from ABG 20%. Transfusion with emergency release blood
products
was begun.
10. PA catheterization was performed via the LFV. It showed a
marked
increase in filling pressures (RA mean 23mmHg, PCWP mean 40 with
tall
v-waves and rounded dicrotic notch on PA pressure tracing.
Findings
consistent with iscehmic mitral regurgitation.
11. Repeat emergent echo showed a small pericardial space,
posterobasal
hypokinesis and a hyperdynamic anterior wall with moderate
mitral
regurgitation.
12. Hand injection of the LFA showed no obvious major
extravasation.
13. Vascular surgery consulted (together with CT surgery)
regarding
weaning of CPS and removal of CPS catheter
CT abdomen and pelvis [**2127-3-25**]:
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITHOUT CONTRAST: There are bilateral pleural
effusions and
bibasilar collapse/consolidation. An NG tube is noted coiled
within the
stomach. The inflated portion of the intraaortic balloon pump
terminates just
above the aortic bifurcation. Note is made of a non-calcified
gallstone.
There is biliary excretion of previously administered contrast.
The liver is
unremarkable on this noncontrast study. The adrenal glands,
pancreas,
kidneys, spleen, and intraabdominal loops of bowel are
unchanged. There is
high attenuation fluid in the anterior and posterior pararenal
spaces
consistent with hemorrhage. There is perihepatic ascites. No
pathologically
enlarged lymph nodes are identified.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: There is diffuse stranding
in the
subcutaneous tissues in the left groin with obliteration of the
normal fat
planes with asymmetry with expansion of the anterior thigh
musculature
consistent with a hematoma. There is low-density free pelvic
fluid. A Foley
catheter is noted in the bladder. There is sigmoid
diverticulosis, without
evidence of diverticulitis.
Bone windows reveal no suspicious lytic or sclerotic foci. There
are
degenerative changes.
IMPRESSION:
1) Left groin hematoma.
2) Retroperitoneal hemorrhage as described above.
3) Apparent low position of intraaortic balloon pump terminating
with its
inflated portion just above the aortic bifurcation.
Echo [**2127-3-28**]:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2.There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. No left ventricular aneurysm
is seen. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction. Overall left ventricular systolic function is
modertately depressed. Resting regional wall motion
abnormalities include basal and mid inferior hypokinesis with
basal and mid inferolateral and lateral akinesis.
3. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are
normal.
4.The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with
good leaflet excursion. There is no aortic valve stenosis. Mild
(1+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
5.The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. Mioderate
(2+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
6.There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.

Brief Hospital Course:
74yo female with history of hypertension and nonobstructive
coronary artery disease referred to [**Hospital1 18**] for cardiac
catheterization because of increasing dyspnea. During procedure,
she clotted off her LCx and LAD. She had 7 ventricular
fibrillation arrest requiring ECMO being placed by surgery. She
had emergent placement of kissing stents to LAD and LCx. Post
procedure, she went to the OR to have ECMO catheters removed on
the right groin, IABP and PA catheter placed on the left groin.
She recieved a total of 6 units of blood during the procedure.
On arrival to the CCU, she was on pressors and intubated. Over
the course of the next few days, her hemodynamics were monitored
by swan and improved. She was eventually extubated. IABP and
pressors were removed on [**2127-3-26**] with good hemodynamics. However,
she developed acute respiratory distress on the night of [**2127-3-26**]
responsive to lasix, nitroglycerin drip and positive pressure
ventilation with CPAP. Her blood pressure dropped drastically
requiring a brief period of pressure support with levophed,
which was quickly weaned off. It was thought that she could have
had acute pulmonary edema. She continues to improve thereafter
and was eventually transferred to regular floors for a few days.
She is currently on aspirin, lipitor, plavix(minimal 3 months).
SHe was also started on lisinopril and toprol. Echo was
performed on [**2127-3-28**] with the concern of posterior wall aneurysm
seen by ECG changes. That turned out to be negative. SHe was
started on daily lasix for heart failure. SHe also had a short
run of atrial fibrillation which spontanouesly converted on
[**2127-3-29**]. Her blood pressure control is satisfactory with
metoprolol, lisinopril and imdur. During this hospitalization,
she also had retroperitoneal bleed. She was transfused to keep
her hematocrit above 30. Her hematocrit remained stable
thereafter.
Vancomycin, levofloxacin and metronidazole was initially started
for presumed aspiration penumonia given that she spiked
temperature, had increased WBC and increasing sputum production.
She continued the course of levofloxacin and metronidazole for 7
days. Vancomycin was discontinued since sputum culture did not
grow any organism. SHe was also c.diff negative.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Fever and chills, sepsis, history of
orthotopic liver transplant.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 19672**] is a 51-year-old male
with a history of hepatitis C and alcohol abuse with
cirrhosis, who underwent a liver transplant in [**2176-3-9**]. His transplant was complicated by a biliary leak and a
septic knee with orthopedic washout. Mr. [**Known lastname 19672**] had been
discharged just a few days prior to his presentation. He had
been discharged to a rehabilitation facility after an
extended stay after his liver transplant here.
In his previous stay, he had been treated with multiple ERCPs
as well as stents. He also had a drain placed and a washout
of his knee as noted above. He now presents with two days
after his discharge to rehabilitation with fevers and chills
to 101.9. He denies any abdominal pain. No nausea or
vomiting. No dysuria, no cough, and no diarrhea. He denies
no changes in his baseline left knee pain.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hepatitis C and alcoholic cirrhosis, Childs Class C.
2. Status post orthotopic liver transplant in [**2176-3-9**].
3. Status post septic left knee joint washout.

ALLERGIES: Ceftriaxone and questionable Heparin.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: In general, he is chronically ill
appearing, however, in no apparent distress. His vital
signs: Temperature is 99.7, rest of his vitals are stable.
His heart is regular, rate, and rhythm. His lungs are clear
to auscultation with decreased breath sounds at the bases.
His abdomen is soft, nontender, and mildly distended. His
extremities are warm. His left knee is mildly tender. The
rectal is guaiac negative.
[**Hospital 1749**] HOSPITAL COURSE: On [**3-22**], the patient was
admitted to the hospital for his fevers and chills. He was
placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics and pancultured. A CT
scan was also performed as well as a HIDA scan and
laboratories were checked. There was a worry of biliary
sepsis given his history. The HIDA and CT scan, however,
were negative, so the patient was scheduled for an ERCP and
was afebrile on his first presentation.
Of note, the Endocrine Service as well as Nutrition and
Infectious Disease followed this patient while he was in the
hospital.
The patient was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics
including levofloxacin, linazolid, and meropenem. On [**3-25**], [**Numeric Identifier 105901**], the patient went for an ERCP and the ERCP, the
stent in the common bile duct was removed, and dark bile and
pus drained from the bile duct. He had a large anastomotic
biliary leak. A plastic and Teflon stent were then placed
across the biliary leak. Also of note, some of his cultures
at this point, grew out Klebsiella, and his antibiotics were
tailored to the bacteria.
On [**2176-5-27**], the patient underwent a percutaneous
transhepatic cholangiogram with a right percutaneous
transhepatic biliary drain placement. This PTC demonstrated
a biliary leak. After this percutaneous biliary drain was
placed, the patient was scheduled for an EGD and stent
removal which was scheduled and done.
After his EGD and stent removal, the patient was started to
spike temperatures to 101.3. This was most likely
cholangitis and he was cultured. These cultures would grow
out gram-positive cocci, and the patient was also put on
neutropenic precautions due to his white [**Year (4 digits) **] cell count
. These organisms would soon be noticed to be Vancomycin
resistant Enterococcus, and the patient was again started on
broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Infectious Disease team was
following closely.
On hospital day 14, the patient went for angiogram to assess
his hepatic artery. This angiogram showed hepatic artery
stenosis and in light of his laboratories, there was a
concern that Mr. [**Known lastname 19672**] had ischemic cholangitis with
irreparable bile duct injury. A repeat angio was then
performed to possibly open up this artery and treat his
hepatic artery thrombosis.
On hospital day 19, the patient underwent an
ultrasound-guided liver biopsy. This biopsy showed mild
rejection and the next day, the patient underwent a hepatic
arteriogram which appeared to have a patent hepatic artery.
On hospital day 25, the patient went for a cholangiogram.
The cholangiogram showed patent ducts. Postprocedure, the
patient had some chills and spiked a temperature after the
manipulation to his biliary tree. Cultures were again sent

Brief Hospital Course:
38 y/o woman, previously healthy, presents with fever, chills,
profuse watery diarrhea, sepsis. The etiology of the patient's
sepsis was unclear, but was thought to be pulmonary (? of RLL
infiltrate) vs GI. GI includes any cause of diarrheal illness
resulting in mucosal breakdown vs primary sepsis. Differential
included salmonella, e.coli, and vibrio. Yersinia and entamoeba
were less likely. The patient was admitted to the ICU and
covered with levofloxacin, metronidazole, and vancomycin (for
empiric enterococcus coverage). Her [**Last Name (un) 104**] stim was normal. IVF
were continued to maintain map>60; the patient required levophed
for one day. She was kept NPO for pancolitis.
.
Upon transfer to the floor, the patient had negative stool cx
for ova and parasites, c.diff, bacteria. UA was clear with
negative urine culture. Lactate was normal. The patient
continued to spike and new cultures were sent. The patient was
transitioned to PO Antibiotics and PO fluids. She had a mild
transaminitis and HAV, HBV, and HCV were pending. Her diet was
advanced slowly, with aggressive electrolyte repletion due to
diarrhea losses. On discharge she was tolerating a BRAT diet
with formed bowel movements. She was advised to continue BRAT
diet for next 3 days.
.
The patient was extremely anxious. She was continued on paxil
and received lorazepam prn. She was very nervous about having
peripheral access placed so her IJ was left in place until
discharge.
She was maintained on pneumoboots, PPI, tylenol, trazodone Qhs.
Communication was with the patient and her husband.
.
On day of discharge she developed a mild inner thigh rash,
possibly folliculitis. She was advised to show this to her PCP
at their follow up appointment the next day. Ig titers were
drawn and were pending at discharge; she is also to follow these
up with her PCP.
Medications on Admission:
Paxil 20mg qday
Discharge Medications:
1. Acetaminophen 325 mg Tablet Sig: 1-2 Tablets PO Q4-6H (every
4 to 6 hours) as needed.
2. Paroxetine HCl 20 mg Tablet Sig: One (1) Tablet PO DAILY
(Daily).
Discharge Disposition:
Home
Discharge Diagnosis:

Date of Birth: [**2112-12-30**] Sex: M
Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 106**]
Chief Complaint:
Chest pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
PCI with 3 sequential stents widely patent, first two to LAD,
third to amend LMCA dissection, all with good angiographic
result.
History of Present Illness:
67 year old blind, deaf man with ESRD, htn, CAD s/p NSTEMI,
cardiomyopathy with EF 35%, initially admitted to [**Hospital3 **]
hospital with burning chest pain radiating to shoulders. Ruled
out for MI. Yesterday, patient returned to [**Location **] with burning chest
pain radiating to his shoulder. No EKG changes, but known LBBB.
Initial negative troponin negative, but afternoon trop elevated
to 0.97. Overnight episodes of CP responded to 2 SL NTG +/-
morphine. Continued to have episodes of CP responsive to NTG.
Patient was transferred directly to [**Hospital1 18**] cath lab on [**8-24**].
.
Coronary angiography on [**8-24**] revealed a right dominant system
with diffuse coronary artery disease. The LMCA was without
angiographically apparent stenosis. The LAD had 3 sequencial
stents that were widely patent. There was a 50% stenosis at the
D1 level proximal to the stents. There was diffuse disease
between the 2nd and 3rd stents with approximately 60% stenosis,
and there was a 90% focal lesion just distal to the 3rd stent
that was new since the prior catheterization in [**2180-4-28**]. The
D1 had 90% proximal disease that was not apparently changed
since prior. The LCX had a widely patent stent and no
significant disease. The RCA had chronic subtotal occlusion in
the mid-portion, with collaterals from the LAD distally. He had
a successful PCI of the distal LAD with a DES which was
post-dilated to 2.5mm. At this point the patient could not
tolerate further intervention due to marked agitation, so it was
elected not to intervene on the D1 lesion.
.
After this intervention the patient was transferred to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 3
and continued to have chest pain on the floor. He continued to
ask for nitroglycerin for chest pain overnight. EKGs were
consistently unchanged. The pain was not relieved with a GI
cocktail. Trop was 0.63, CK=53 on AM of [**8-25**] and previously was
trop=0.97 at OSH on [**8-24**]. Due to his continued symptoms, he was
taken to cath again on the afternoon of [**8-25**] after his regularly
scheduled HD session. The D1 lesion was successfully
angioplastied and a successful PCI of prox/mid LAD with DES was
performed, but the procedure was complicated by LMCA artery
dissection. On the last final angiography injection, the LMCA
was dissected, at which point the patient arrested. CPR was
immmediately initiated and atropine was given. The Prowater
wire was still in place in the LAD and a 3.5x28mm Xience DES was
able to be delivered to the LMCA/prox LAD. This stent was
post-dilated to 4.0 NC balloon with sealing of the dissection
and restoration of TIMI 3 flow into the LAD and LCx. The
patient left the lab intubated and on 5mcg/kg/min of dopamine to
maintain a SBP of 100-110mmHg. Reportedly, his home SBP runs in
the 90s-100s.
.
Upon transfer to the CCU the patient was sedated, intubated, and
on dopamine to maintain his pressures. He had a peripheral line
and femoral sheath for access. Initial blood gas was pH 7.53,
pCO2 36, pO2 237, HCO3 31, BaseXS 7.
Past Medical History:
As above, and:

Pertinent Results:
CXR [**2180-8-26**]:
FINDINGS: In comparison with study of [**8-25**], the nasogastric tube
has been
pushed forward slightly so that the side hole appears to extend
beyond the
esophagogastric junction. Endotracheal tube has been removed.
Progressive
improvement in pulmonary vascular status.
.
TTE [**2180-8-26**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The right atrium is
moderately dilated. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or
color Doppler. There is mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated.
No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed
(LVEF= 35 %) with global hypokinesis and akinesis of the
infero-lateral and apical segments. Tissue Doppler imaging
suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP>18mmHg). There is no ventricular septal defect. with mild
global free wall hypokinesis. The aortic root is moderately
dilated at the sinus level. The ascending aorta is moderately
dilated. The aortic arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. Mild to moderate ([**12-31**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no
mitral valve prolapse. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There
is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. Coompared to the prior
study dated [**2180-5-26**], no major change.

Brief Hospital Course:
67 y/o blind, deaf male w/ESRD, cardiomyopathy with EF 35%,
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] with NSTEMI, s/p cath here on [**8-24**] with
stenting of distal LAD stenosis with continued chest pain, whose
repeat cath on [**2180-8-25**] was complicated by LMCA dissection.
.
# CORONARIES: Cath [**2180-8-24**]: LAD w/ 3 sequential stents widely
patient. 50% lesion at D1 proximal to stents. 60% diffuse
disease between 2nd and 3rd stents; 90% focal lesion just distal
to 3rd stent (new since [**5-6**]). D1 with prximal 90% disease
(unchanged). New stent placed over distal LAD lesion. Procedure
stopped prematurely secondary to agitation. Patient returned to
the floor and continued with chest pain. Went back to the cath
lab on [**2180-8-25**] where he received a DES to mid LAD. This second
cath was complicated by LAD dissection, the patient became
asystolic, coded for 20 minutes and received DES to LMCA. On
return to the CCU, patient did well. He was continued on his
aspirin, plavix, metoprolol, lipitor. Imdur was discontinued.
Lisinopril was started, and he was sent home on this regimen on

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital for chest pain. After
initially being evaluated at [**Hospital3 417**] Hospital, you were
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further care. Your chest pain was
coming from your heart, and you required 3 stent placements
during your hospital course. Your heart stopped for a short
period of time, and you were resuscitated. You needed
assistance breathing, and had a breathing tube for a short
period of time. After the heart procedure, you were cared for
in the ICU. You continued to improve, and had the breathing
tube removed. Other medications used to support your heart were
also no longer needed. You resumed your regularly scheduled
hemodialysis, which you tolerated well. You were discharged on
[**2180-8-29**] in good condition.
The following changes were made to your medications:

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Hypotension
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ms [**Known lastname **] is a 73 year old
woman with end stage renal disease secondary to diabetes,
requiring hemodialysis Monday, Wednesday and Friday who
recently had an admission to [**Hospital6 2018**] from [**2144-3-21**] to [**2144-4-20**] after
experiencing a mechanical fall. At that time she was
diagnosed with a left intertrochanteric femur fracture. She
had a left open reduction and internal fixation with a screw
placed on [**4-2**]. Her hospital course was complicated by a
right femoral vein thrombosis with initiation of Coumadin,
with a repeat ultrasound to be performed in six weeks. She
also had rapid atrial fibrillation requiring intravenous
Diltiazem, line infection and bacteremia with Methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus; Vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus bacteremia; and UTI with Proteus bacteremia and
sepsis. The patient was treated with multiple antibiotics and
was transferred to rehabilitation at the end of [**2144-3-28**],
to receive continued treatment for end stage renal disease,
anticoagulation for DVT and atrial fibrillation, and for
consideration of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube
due to decreased p.o. intake secondary to delirium.
On [**5-5**], the patient returned to the [**Hospital6 649**] for decreased blood pressure into the 80s
persistently, preventing hemodialysis. The patient's code status
was recently changed from full to Do-Not-Resuscitate/Do-Not-
Intubate by the family. The patient, prior to admission, had
experienced increased white blood cell count, hypoxia and
hypotension on [**4-29**], and was taken to [**Hospital 8**] Hospital where
she was diagnosed with urosepsis versus aspiration pneumonia and
stated on Gentamicin and Linezolid. She had an increased
gentamicin level and the gentamicin and Linezolid were held as of
[**5-4**], but her blood pressure continued to be low. Upon
transfer to [**Hospital6 256**] her pressure was
57/45. She was given a 500 cc bolus and started on pressors
and transferred to the Medicine Intensive Care Unit for
further evaluation of her hemodynamic instability.

10. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d.; 11. Diltiazem 60 mg p.o.
q.i.d.; 12. Gentamicin.
ALLERGIES: 1. Sensitive to narcotics regarding blood pressure
and mental status examination; 2. Penicillin; 3. Sulfa; 4. ?
Verapamil.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives in an [**Hospital3 **]
facility, her doctor is Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (STitle) 9006**]. Her family spokesperson is
her daughter [**Name (NI) **], at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 16861**]12, ? Her
home #[**Telephone/Fax (1) 16784**], cellular telephone #[**Telephone/Fax (1) 16785**].
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On presentation the patient's vital
signs after 500 cc bolus of normal saline and starting on
Neo-Synephrine were 120/70, heartrate 120 and irregular,
respiratory rate 16, and sating 96% on 2 liters. Physical
examination was notable for the following findings, dry
mucous membranes, irregularly irregular heart rhythm, no
murmurs, rubs or gallops, coarse breathsounds bilaterally in
the lungs with scattered rhonchi. She had 1 to 2+ pitting
edema bilaterally and multipodus boots on. Her mental status
was confused and unresponsive.
LABORATORY DATA: The patient on admission had a white blood
cell count of 10.7, 86% neutrophils, 0% bands. Her
hematocrit was 29.5, platelets 339, her INR on admission was
8.3 with a PTT of 61.6 and PT 35.5. Her chem-7 was sodium
137, potassium 4.6, chloride 105, bicarbonate notable for 13.
Her BUN was 37, creatinine 4.6. Her chest x-ray showed no
infiltrate or overt failure on admission and
electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation with a rate of
120, left axis deviation and 2 to [**Street Address(2) 2051**] depression in V2
through V4 unchanged from [**2144-4-4**]. Subsequently the
patient had negative blood cultures times two. She had no
urine cultures as she is anuric. Chest x-ray later on
demonstrated worsening left retrocardiac opacity / consolidation
/ collapse, suspicious for possible infection. Her hematocrit
remained stable between 27 and 30. Her INR had decreased to 1.0.
Two days prior to admission, she was started on her Coumadin and
her INR was 1.2 on the day of discharge. The patient, under
fluoroscopic guidance, had jejunostomy tube placed which showed
pigtail catheter to be in good condition.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Cardiovascular - As previously
mentioned, the patient came in significantly hypotensive.
The etiology was deemed likely secondary to hypovolemia from
decreased p.o. intake with a questionable history of
diarrhea. She was given 500 cc bolus and started on
pressors. She had a good response to the pressors and a
normal saline bolus. Her blood pressure came back up to
systolic/100. During the remainder of her hospital stay her
pressure generally remained over 100 systolic on the floor
with occasional drops into the 90s. However, while at
dialysis the patient's pressure tended to drop into the 80s.
The etiology of her hypertension as previously mentioned was
likely hypovolemia as all the cultures were negative and she
did not appear to have impaired cardiac function. The
hypotension was not rate-related either. She was quickly
weaned off of her pressors in the Intensive Care Unit within
two days and then transferred to the floor with further
management. With regard to the patient's atrial fibrillation
she remained atrially fibrillated throughout the remainder of
her hospital stay with ventricular rate as high as 130 but
generally in 80 to 100 range and for the 24 hours prior to
discharge she remained in the 80s, on 60 mg of Diltiazem p.o.
q.i.d.
2. Hematology - The patient came in with a highly elevated
INR Of greater than 8. She has a history of a right lower
extremity deep vein thrombosis from her prior admission. She
needs to be anticoagulated for this deep vein thrombosis for
six months, that would take her through the end of summer,
however, since she has atrial fibrillation, she needs to be
anticoagulated to a target INR of 2.0 to 3.0 for life. This
anticoagulation for the deep vein thrombosis is not an issue
at this point. Her Coumadin was held and restarted two days
prior to discharge at 5 mg p.o. q.d. with INR to be checked
on Thursday, [**5-14**]. The patient was covered with a
heparin drip because of her history of deep vein thrombosis
and she should continue on the heparin drip with a target PTT
of 50 to 70 until she becomes therapeutic with an INR of 2 to
3.
3. Neurologic - The patient has a history of dementia with
superimposed delirium of uncertain etiology. It is possible
that her hypotension contributes to her delirium as well as
possible underlying lung infection. From a dementia
standpoint, at her best, the patient is able to answer simple
questions in respond to her name, however, her mental status
greatly fluctuates and often she is unresponsive except for
the most simple commands and questions. This has been a
significant decline in her cognitive function. According to
her primary care physician and her daughter, six months ago
the patient completely normal neurologically. The etiology
of the neurological decline during this admission is
uncertain.
Of note - The patient is exquisitely sensitive to narcotics with
regard to her mental status.
4. Renal - The patient has end stage renal disease secondary
to diabetes and she is on dialysis three times a week
schedule, now Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She may have had
difficulty taking any fluid off and have just been
ultra-filtering her because of her hypotension.
5. Gastrointestinal - The patient has poor p.o. intake,
likely secondary to neurological status. She is on Nepro 1/2
strength at a goal of 6 cc/hr which she tolerated generally
well through the hospital stay. She had a gastrojejunostomy
placed the day prior to discharge and was tolerating her tube
feeds. These should be advanced to a goal as mentioned of 60
cc/hr of Nepro 1/2 strength through the gastrojejunostomy
tube.
6. Infectious disease - The patient has questionable left
lower lobe infiltrate. She is being treated with
Levofloxacin for presumed pneumonia and questions whether it
is aspiration versus community acquired, although the patient
has had an excellent response to the Levofloxacin and has
been afebrile with decreased sputum production and no
respiratory distress. It is deemed that she does not need
further anaerobic coverage. She is taking 250 mg q. 48 hours
of Levofloxacin and her last day will be [**2144-5-21**].
7. Endocrinologic - The patient had diabetes mellitus and
came in on a dose of insulin NPH 6 units b.i.d. with a
regular insulin sliding scale q.i.d. Her NPH insulin is said
to be titrated because of variations in her p.o. intake and
that should continue to be the case. She is currently on 3
units q. AM and 1 unit q. PM of the regular insulin sliding
scale q.i.d. The had some blood sugars in the 60s the day of
discharge secondary to being NPO for the jejunostomy tube
placement but these had resolved with resumption of her tube
feeds. The patient was also treated with proton pump
inhibitors for a known history of gastroesophageal reflux
disease, 30 mg of Prevacid b.i.d.
8. Dermatologic - The patient has several healed ulcers in
her lower extremities, there are no active infections there,
however, there is a tinea infection in her buttock area and
this should be treated with Miconazole cream b.i.d.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Fair.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Back to [**Hospital1 **].

CXR [**2137-12-25**]:
No airspace consolidations or pleural effusions are identified.
However, increased vascular markings and peripheral interstitial
lines suggest tiny degree of fluid overload. Some of this
appearance is enhanced by lower lung volumes. The right
hemidiaphragm continues to be slightly elevated. The tip of a
right central venous catheter overlies the right atrium. No
pneumothorax. No pleural effusions. The cardiac and mediastinal
contours are unchanged.

Brief Hospital Course:
47-year-old female with h/o metastatic breast cancer to the
liver and bone, currently on treatment with Navelbine and h/o
pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia who presented
with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain which appeared
secondary to acute pancreatitis.
.
*Acute Pancreatitis: Patient presented with severe abdominal
pain,nausea and vomiting. In the ER she was given IV dilaudid
and phenergan without much improvement in nausea or pain. She
was afebrile with a nl HR. Amylase was 406, lipase 1191 and WBC
30.5. Abdominal CT was done and showed acute pancreatitis with
extensive inflammatory stranding surrounding the entire pancreas
without focal fluid collections. Increased mets in the liver
were seen and stable lytic and sclerotic bone lesions were also
noted. Her pancreatitis was likely secondary to
hypertriglyceridemia (Trig 2736), but could have been secondary
to Navelbine treatment. Patient had an initial admission
[**Last Name (un) 5063**] score of 2. She was given 3L of NS in the ER.
After admission, she received aggressive IVF hydration,
dilaudid PCA for pain control and anti-emetics. She was given 2
L NS at 200 cc/hr initially. When her hct was found to be
higher, it suggested her fluid requirement was not being met so
her fluids were increased to 500cc/hr. Her calcium dropped to
7.1 on [**2137-12-26**] and her K+ to 2.6. Her pain was not well
controlled on the PCA and she had continued N/V. She was
transferred to the MICU for monitoring. She was empirically
started on flugyl and cipro for high fevers, but there was no CT
evidence of necrotizing pacnreatitis. In the ICU she had close
electrolyte monitoring and received IVFs. Her dilaudid PCA was
changed to fentanyl. Her N/V and pain improved and WBC trended
down. Repeat abd CT was done on [**12-30**] and showed interval
developement of left sidedd pleural effusion and increase in
degree of peripanreatic stranding and effusion with no evidence
of necrosis. While the CT showed more stranding, the patient
improved clinically. Her diet was advanced and she was started
on Tricor for her hypertriglyceridemia. Her amylase, lipase,
WBC and triglycerides trended down over her stay. She was
discharged home in stable condition.
.
* Diarrhea: She developed diarrhea in the MICU which improved
after arrival to the floor. 2 sets of c. diff toxin were
negative.
.
*h/o metastatic breast CA: Patient had known metastatic breast
cancer and was being treated with Navelbine as an outpatient.
Her abdominal CT showed increased liver mets. Her cancer care
was deferred to her outpatient doctors.
.
*H/o ovarian clot: Patient had a known ovarian clot for which
she was on coumadin . Coumadin was initially held out of concern
that she might require surgery. It was re-started upon
discharge.

History of Present Illness:
(ACOVE transfer note from [**Hospital Unit Name 153**])
The pt is a 27 y.o. female with interstitial lung disease status
post open lung biopsy on [**2160-10-8**], on chronic TPN for GI
dysmotility, suprapubic catheter for bladder atony who presented
to the ED with a two-day history of fevers to 101 F. She also
complained of chills, increased abdominal pain, nausea without
vomiting, bladder spasm, and mild headache. In ER her T was
101.4, HR 112, BP 95/69, RR 24 and she was 95% on 2L. Labs were
notable for a lactate of 2.4, alkpho of 161 aa WBC of 3.6 with
N89. Patient was empirically started on Vanc, Flagyl,
Levofloxacin, Linezolid for urosepsis vs. line sepsis. An
abdominal CT demonstrated a non-loculated pelvic fluid
collection for which surgery was following. One set of blood
cultures grew coag negative staphylococcus, and antibiotics were
transitioned to Vancomycin. The patient's blood pressure
responded to fluids and antibiotics and her temperature
normalized.
Of note the patient came with a history of vasculitis documented
by report from her PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 16004**] on colectomy specimen
many years ago. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 16004**] reports the initial pathology was
done at [**Hospital6 4620**] and then reviewed a second
time at [**Hospital 4415**].
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] referred her for a lung biopsy because patient she
had had
a previous lung biopsy which was "concerning for a diffuse
microthrombotic process without much in the way of inflammatory
infiltrates" as well as four months of progressive pulmonary
deterioration for which a course of IV salumedrol was tried.
Biopsy performed [**10-8**] showed no vasculitis/no amyloid.
On transfer to medical floor patient reported feeling weak, with
no change in her baseline shortness of breath, no diarrhea, no
fever or chills, no chest pain. She reported not ambulating at
baseline secondary to contractures in her legs. She reported
bloating in her stomach with some nausea but no emesis. She
denied photobia, cough, chills, neck stiffness, jaundice.

Pertinent Results:
RUQ ([**11-3**]) IMPRESSION: The hepatic veins are patent. Portal
vein pulsatility suggests right hepatic failure.
[**2160-11-3**] chest CT
1. The liver is enlarged and heterogeneous. This could be due to
edema. The
hepatic veins are not opacified with intravenous contrast which
could be due
to technical reasons, however due to the congestive appearance
of the
parenchyma this is concerning for Budd- Chiari syndrome.
Recommend ultrasound
of the liver with doppler for better evaluate.
2. Diffuse edema of the soft tissues.
3. Small amount of free fluid in the abdomen. There is a
partially loculated
fluid collection in the left pelvis. However, the fact that the
walls are not
enhancing suggests this is probably not an abscess.

normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left
ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). The right ventricular
cavity is mildly
dilated. Right ventricular systolic function appears depressed.
The aortic
valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion and
no aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve appears structurally
normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. The estimated pulmonary artery

IMPRESSION:
1. Stable interstitial pattern of opacity, in keeping with
known history of
vasculitis. Other inflammatory processes and mild interstitial
edema cannot
be excluded.
2. Lucency of the distal clavicle with possible distal
clavicular fracture.
Dedicated radiograph of the clavicle are suggested if clinically
warranted.

Biopsy: [**2160-10-8**] biopsy:
Her final pathology is back and demonstrates extensive organized
arterial thrombi with focally associated foreign material.
There
is no evidence of vasculitis. Microbiology is all negative.
This is felt to be associated with her chronic TPN use.
Brief Hospital Course:
27 year old with history of neuropathic vasculitis, interstial
lung disease status post recent lung biopsy, subtotal colectomy
on chronic TPN, and G-J tube who presented to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] on [**11-3**] with
fever and concern for line sepsis.
1. Fever - Pt was admitted to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] on linezolid for coverage of
suspected line infection given her past history of VRE. She was
also started on levofloxacin and metronidazole for a possible
intra-abdominal infection with fluid collection seen on CT A/P.
One of two sets of blood cx drawn on admission grew coag-neg
staph. Levofloxacin, metronidazole, and linezolid were
discontinued, and vancomycin was started for treatment of likely
Staph epidermidis line sepsis. (Micro grew coag negative staph)
Interventional followed the patient and suggested to treat with
antibiotics through the line, rather then discontinue the line
because the patient has few access options. No pneumonia noted
on cxray. Liver function tests were notable for an elevated alk
phosphatase. She ultimately grew gram negative rods as well late
in the afternoon of [**2160-11-10**] and was placed on Levofloxacin.
Infectious disease was consulted to evaluate the patient on
[**2160-11-11**].
2. Anemia/Leukopenia - Patient with history of anemia 23-31.
History of leukopenia (1.9-4.0) In house, hematocrit dropped to
21 level from initial 27, thought secondary to fluid/possible
reaction to Linezolid. Patient hematocrit up to 22 on [**11-7**].
Patient was guiac negative on admission.
3. Partially loculated fluid collection in the left pelvis - Of
note patient with fluid collection noted on CT. Surgery has
been following patient and has no current intent to intervene.
Infectious disease called to comment. Would have evaluated
patient on [**2160-11-11**].
4. On [**2160-11-11**] at approximately 12:30 am, the nurse found the
patient unresponsive and stiff. A code was called and the
patient was pronounced dead. It is unclear what the cause of
death was as the patient did not appear septic and her vitals
until that time were stable. By report, she had been seen by
nursing less than an hour before she was found and had been
"fine." It did not appear that the PCA had been activated prior
to the patient's demise. The patient's father was [**Name (NI) 653**] as
the mother was out of the state. Both parents, once informed,
declined an autopsy.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 55 year-old female with a PMH of HTN, PVD,
seizure disorder, chronic pain on oxycodone, methadone, OSA who
presented to an OSH on [**2150-3-6**] after being found stuporous with
white foam and white poweder around her mouth at home. Her son,
whom she lives with, reviewed her [**Date Range 4085**] boxes and verified
that no medications were missing or overconsumed. EMS brought
her to the ED and en route she was given Narcan with some
effect. On presentation, she was found to be hypoxic to 74% on
RA with rhonchi and had a Glascow of 4. She was noted to have a
depressed mental status with an absent gag and some secretions
at the glottic opening. She was intubated for airway protection
(7.34/60/322). A CXR was performed and was negative for
pneumonia per report. Her labs were significant for a lipase of
3882 and WBC of 15 and serum and urine tox were significant for
positive TCA, methadone, and THC, but negative for tylenol,
phenobarbital, and alcohol. Creatinine and LFTs were normal with
a mildly elevated Alk phos. An EKG was also NSR. The
differential was thought to include seizure versus aspiration vs
overdose. She was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further mgmnt and her
ventilator settings at the time were Vt 500, 90% PEEP 5 RR 18.
There was difficulty noted in weaning the FiO2. She was
intermittently sedated with ativan.
.
On arrival, her VS were T 102.6 P 110 100%ra BP 170/100. She was
intubated but awake and alert, following simple commands. A RSBI
was performed and was 150, with a RR of 25 and Vt of ~200. She
was also witnessed to aspirate.
.
Review of systems is otherwise unremarkable per report.

Pertinent Results:
[**3-9**] echo: The left atrium is dilated. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global
systolic function (LVEF>55%). There is no left ventricular
outflow obstruction at rest or with Valsalva. There is no
ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. A bioprosthetic aortic valve
prosthesis is present. The transaortic gradient is higher than
expected for this type of prosthesis. No masses or vegetations
are seen on the aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due
to suboptimal image quality. No aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no
mitral valve prolapse. No masses or vegetations are seen on the
mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal
image quality. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is
moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal regional and global systolic function.
Bioprosthetic AVR with higher than expected gradients.
Endocarditis cannot be excluded on the basis of this study.
Moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2150-3-8**],
inferior hypokinesis is not seen on the current study. The apex
is well seen and contracts normally.
If clinically suggested, the absence of a vegetation by 2D
echocardiography does not exclude endocarditis.
.
CXR [**3-9**]: Left moderately severe left lower lobe atelectasis has
progressed, mild interstitial edema is new accompanied by
increasing small bilateral pleural effusions and increase in top
normal heart size as well as congestion of the hilar and
mediastinal vessels. ET tube, right internal jugular line,
nasogastric tube in standard placements. No pneumothorax.
.
MRI head [**3-9**]:
1. No acute infarction.
2. Contour irregularity of the left middle cerebral artery, and
some of the branches of the right middle cerebral artery with
minimal decrease in caliber of the left middle cerebral artery
in the interval since the prior study, with mild narrowing.
Vasculitis related changes or other etiology cannot be excluded.
Interventional neuorradiology consult can be consdiered for
further management decision.
3. No flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion or aneurysm more than
3 mm within the resolution of MR angiogram.
.
CXR [**3-10**]: Lateral aspect of the right chest is excluded from the
examination. Mild pulmonary edema and small right pleural
effusion increased. Heart size top normal. Mediastinal venous
engorgement unchanged. Left lower lobe largely airless probably
due to atelectasis. ET tube, nasogastric tube and right internal
jugular line in standard placements. No pneumothorax.
.
CXR [**3-12**]
1. Improved CHF.
2. Multifocal patchy and linear opacities in mid and lower
lungs, many of
which may be due to atelectasis, but coexisting pneumonia should
be considered considering clinical suspicion for infection.
3. Right middle lobe atelectasis, for which followup radiographs
are
suggested to document resolution.
4. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
.
EEG [**3-9**] This is an abnormal portable EEG recording due to the
background activity which was at times slow and disorganized and
at
other times showed a burst suppression pattern. These
abnormalities are
suggestive of encephalopathy. The first one of moderate
encephalopathy
and the second one with a more severe encephalopathy. The fact
that the
patient's background was viable throughout the recording is
suggestive
of the possibility of a better prognosis of encephalopathy.
Metabolic
disturbances, medications, infection, and ischemia are among the
most
common causes of encephalopathy. There are no clear epileptiform
features seen in this recording. Of note is the tachycardia.
Brief Hospital Course:
55 year-old female with a PMH of HTN, PVD, seizure disorder,
chronic pain on oxycodone, methadone, OSA who presented with
after being found down with inability to be roused by her son.
.
#. Acutely altered mental status: intubated for airway
protection from MS changes, cause was unclear, possibilities
included toxic metabolic encephalopathy, delirium, [**Month/Year (2) 4085**]
effect (hx of seroquel, cyclobenzaprine, methadone, trazadone),
seizure, CVA, infection (pancreatitis, aspiration pna,
meningitis). She was prescribed seroquel on [**3-6**], tox screen
positive for TCA (Duloxetine, cyclobenz, and seroquel can cause
false positives), opiate (methadone hx), THC, and phenobarbital
(in Donnatal), but negative for alcohol. Also hypercapnia in
setting of COPD and aggravating factor also possible. She had
no nuchal rigidity, photophobia, or focal neural deficits.
Her sedatives were initially held, she was pancultures and
treated for an aspiration pna, and her metabolic work-up was
negative. Upon extubation, she continued to show an atypical
affect, but was alert and oriented x3, and tolerating the
reinitiation of her SSRI and percocet for pain.
.
The etiology of the episode was unclear, but thought possibly
due to polypharmacy after EEG was negative, and MRI was without
acute changes. Seroquel was discontinued as possible cause for
decompensation. Given the episodes, she was advised not to
drive until cleared by the neurologists.
.
#. Acute Hypoxemic respiratory failure: thought liklely
respiratory acidosis with metabolic compensation at baseline
secondary to COPD. CXR showed right base atelectasis and scant
infiltrates. She was on stress dose steroids for airway and
relative hypotension, as she was on budesonide at baseline. As
above, she was intubated for respiratory failure, then extubated
two days prior to transfer to floor, and demonstrated good
respiratory mechanics. She was transferred to the floor with
stable oxygen saturations on low O2 requirement (3L NC). Upon
transfer, she was transitioned back to her budesonide dosing.
She ultimately stabilized from a respiratory perspective,
although she had a cough, and finding on her CXR of possible
infiltrate. She was discharged to complete a course of
levofloxacin.
.
#. Pneumonia: She presented with leukocytosis. CXR ultimately
showed likely infiltrate. She was pan cultured, as above, her
only positive cultures were GPC in her sputum. She was
initially on vanco, levo, flagyl, then transitioned to
levofloxacin as monotherapy, with plan to complete 7d course on
[**3-14**].
.
# EKG changes/?Takasubo's cardiomyopathy: while intubated on
hospital day 2, pt was noted to have t wave inversions in 7 of
12 leads, predominantly in lateral leads, cardiac
enzymes/troponin was elevated at OSH, cks flat upon admit here.
Cardiology was consulted, bedside echo performed, with mild
hypokinesis, concern for takayasu's cardiomyopathy, started on
beta blockade, and mild diuresis while on ventilator. A repeat
echocardiogram was performed, which showed improved systolic
dysfunction without apical ballooning, but her EKG continued to
show t wave inversions at discharge. She has close follow up
with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 171**] for further evaluation. On his review of her
echocardiograms, there was no apical ballooning seen.
.
# Acute renal failure: She developed acute renal failure while
in the ICU, likely due to diuresis. She was rehydrated, her
lisinopril was held, and her renal function was still elevated
at baseline. Her urine eos were negative. Her Cr was still
elevated at 1.2 at discharge, and her lisinopril was held until
she sees Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **].
.
#. pancreatitis: Pt had elevated lipase secondary to possibly
gallstone pancreatitis (alk phos elevated at 190), alcohol
(though tox neg), or other less common etiologies such as
hypertriglycerides, pancreatic carcinoma, medications, viral
infections, abdominal trauma. Enzymatic analysis of
pancreatitis resolved, pt denies abd pain on exam, and her diet
was advanced without issue.
.
#. Crohns Disease: pt followed by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 572**]; diagnosis was
mainly symptom based with little objective evidence, on chronic
budesonide. EGD and colonoscopy normal in 1/[**2150**].
.
# chronic pain: She has a history of chronic pain and has been
on methadone. Given concern for polypharmacy, the methadone was
discontinued on discharge, and she was discharged on dialudid.
.
#. HTN: Patient's lisinopril and atenolol were initially held
due to infection.
.
#. Obstructive sleep apnea: notes indicate pt use BiPap at home,
pt refused to wear bipap in the icu.
.
#. Depression/anxiety: her anxiolytics were initially held in
icu as per work-up of mental status changes, then restarted at
lower doses upon transfer to floor. She was discharged on her
home doses, and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 18529**] will continue to work with her on
other anxiety management. She may consider psychotherapy as an
outpatient, at a facility close to her home.
.
#. COPD: On baseline home O2 of 3L and has a long smoking
history. She did not require oxygen at discharge, with O2 sat of
95% with ambulation, and will only use O2 at night. She was
also urged to stop smoking.
.
# Follow up: Given the unclear etiology of the episode, she
will have close outpatient follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] ([**3-24**]), Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 171**] (first week of [**Month (only) 958**]), Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 18529**] (psychiatry - 2 weeks)
and [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 18530**]/[**Doctor Last Name **] of neurology. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], precepting
Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **], is aware of all events and will continue to coordinate
care for this complex patient.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted after your son found you and could not awaken
you. You were having trouble breathing, and needed to be

days. Your MRI did not show an acute stroke, and your EEG did
not show an obvious seizure. It is possible that the seroquel
caused this problem, or some combination of all of your
medications.

You should continue to talk to your doctors about your
[**Name5 (PTitle) 4085**] regimen, which is extremly complicated, and may be
causing problems. DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL YOU SEE THE NEUROLOGISTS.
Do not change any of your medications without talking to your
doctors.

You need a repeat chest xray
.
Return to the ED if you have trouble breathing, get confused or
agitated again, develop high fevers or chills, or chest pain.
.
Changes to your medications:
Seroquel was discontinued.
Levofloxacin was added (for possible pneumonia).

CTA head [**2119-1-24**]:
Head CT: Bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage is noted with a small
amount of
blood pooling in both lateral ventricles as well as the thrid
ventricle but without intraprenchymal component. There is no
evidence of edema, mass, mass effect, or infarction. The
ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. No
fracture is identified. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air
cells are clear.
Head and neck CTA:
A bilobed aneurysm of 6 mm of greatest dimension is observed at
the origin of the left posterior communicating artery. No other
aneurysms or vascular
malformations are identified.
Otherwise, the carotid and vertebral arteries and their major
branches are
patent with no evidence of stenosis. The A1 segment of the right
anterior
cerebral artery and the P1 segment of the right posterior
cerebral artery are absent, but the vessels of the circle of
[**Location (un) 431**] as well as the major arteries of the anterior and
posterior circulation enhaced normally and grossly
symmetrically.
IMPRESSION:
1. Bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage with intraventricular but
not
intraprenchymal extension.
2. A bilobed aneurysm is identified at the origin of the left
posterior
communicating artery.
3. Congenitally absent A1 segment of right ACA and P1 segment of
right PCA.
Cerebral Angiogram [**2119-1-24**]:

Results show normal velocities of the bilateral proximal middle
cerebral arteries, anterior cerebral anteries, bilateral P2
segments of the PCA, distal cervical internal carotid arteries,
and vertebral arteries, as well as the basilar artery. The
waveforms of all vessels were normal. The pulsatility indices of
all vessels were within normal limits. No emboli were seen.

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 56 yo female with history of COPD, s/p tracheostomy,
anxiety/depression with suspected tracheobronchomalacia being
evaluated for tracheal stent.
.
## Failure to Wean from Vent: Bronchoscopy by interventional
pulmonology showed severe laryngeal stenosis and edema involving
the supraglottic and subglottic region. There was only a mild
degree of tracheobronchomalacia but no airway
obstruction,significant amount of secretions or other
endobronchial lesions. Interventional pulmonology did not feel
there was significant airway pathology to explain the patient's
failure to wean off the ventilator. They also felt that given
the degree of laryngeal edema and stenosis it is unlikely she
will ever decannulate. It is suggested she begin a PPI [**Hospital1 **] and
head of the bed elevated.
.
## COPD: Patient wheezy with reduced air movement on admission.
She was started on a prednisone taper 40mg daily which we
suggest continuing until [**2128-5-12**]. Continued on outpatient regimen
of theophylline, fluticasone, ipratropium/albuterol, alb PRN. A
theophylline level was checked and was 5.6.
.
## HTN: BP remained stable. She was continued on amlodipine and
metoprolol
.
## Depression/Anxiety: Continued on paroxetine, abilify, ativan.
Given significant anxiety would consider uptitrating paroxetine
and having her see a psychopharmacologist for management of this
condition.
.
## Contraction Alkalosis: Patient will contraction alkalosis on
admission. Furosemide reduced from 80mg [**Hospital1 **] to 80mg daily.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Percutaneous placement of stent in left internal carotid
History of Present Illness:
75M h/o PVD, small cell lung CA with left neck mass s/p
radiation, and symptomatic bilateral carotid stenoses (90% left,
totally occluded right) transferred from OSH for percutaneous
carotid stenting. He has had several recent "drop attacks"
considered to be TIAs. He has had several months of transient
light-headedness associated with a feeling of his 'legs giving
out' followed by syncope. These episodes have been becoming more
frequent recently. Last week he underwent carotid U/S which
revealed progression of left carotid disease to >70%. The
patient was scheduled for an elective carotid endarterectomy
today at [**Hospital6 33**] that was cancelled as he was
deemed a poor surgical candidate due to multiple comorbidities.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 75 y/o man w/ bilateral critical carotid
stenosis (Right completely occluded and left>70% occluded) who
had a history oif multiple TIAs and drop attacks, who was
transferred from an outside hospital for percutaneous carotid
stenting. He was transfered for percutaneous intervention as he
was a poor operative candidate secondary to multiple medical
comorbidities. He was initially admitted to the floor prior to
the procedure. Post-procedure, he was transfered to the CCU. He
had a drug eluuting stent placed in his left ICA without
complications. On his first night post procedure, he was put on
a neo drip for SBP in the 90s. The neo was discontinued 24 hours
later. He also received fluid boluses with good response.
The patient had a bruit in his right groin area and an
ultrasound was obtained, which showed no pseudoaneurysm or
hematoma. This bruit might have been old and related to his
extensive atherosclerotic disease.
His hematocrit dropped during his hospitalization by about 8
points. Hemolysis laboratories were negative and he was guaiac
negative. CT abdomen and pelvis was negative for bleed. He
received one unit PRBCs and did well post transfusion. His
hematocrit was stable prior to discharge.
For two days after his stent, he was somewhat bradycardic and
hypotensive. This might have been due to autonomic disregulation
due to carotid barorreceptor manipulation. By the third day, his
compensatory responses had normalized. Physical therapy
evaluated him and he was discharged home with PT services and
VNA services. His neurologic exam remained normal throughout
hospitalization. His Aricept was discontinued as it is a drug
known to cause bradycardia and orthostasis. It was recommended
that he undergo posterior circulation evaluation as an
outpatient.

Radiologic Data:
NCHCT [**2194-4-21**]:
Intraparenchymal hemorrhage centered in the R basal ganglia
measuring approx 7.3 x 4.1 cm, similar in size to the OSH
study.
Interval increase in the intra-ventricular extension of the
bleed. Sub-falcine herniation, with stable to minimal increase
in the leftward shift of midline structures. Mass-effect on the
third ventricle with mild dilation of the lateral ventricles.
CT brain [**4-22**] - 1. Stable large hematoma centered in the right
basal ganglia, with stable
intraventricular extension. Stable mass effect. Stable size of
the
ventricles.
2. S/p right parietal craniectomy with a small right extraaxial
hematoma, as before.
3. Hypodensities in the left subinsular white matter could
represent chronic small vessel infarcts, unusual for age. Please
correlate with risk factors. If clinically indicated, they may
be further assessed by contrast-enhanced MRI to exlude other
etiologies, when the patient is stabilized.
CT brain [**4-23**] -
1. Large right basal ganglionic hematoma with intraventricular
extension and surrounding vasogenic edema, unchanged in size and
appearance from most recent
study, with stable size of ventricles.
2. Leftward shift of normally-midline structures appears
slightly worse when compared to the most recent study, some of
which may be due to differences in plane of scanning.
3. Status post right parietal craniectomy, with small right
extra-axial
hematoma is unchanged.
[**4-24**] Renal U/S - Bilateral renal calcifications. Overall, the
pattern is
suggestive of medullary nephrocalcinosis. In the right lower
pole, a
partially calcified cyst or stones within a caliceal
diverticulum are also
seen. No solid mass is identified. Normal renal Doppler, with
resistive indices ranging from 0.64-0.69 in the right and
0.69-0.77 on the left.
[**4-26**] CT brain - 1. Right basal ganglia intraparenchymal
hematoma, surrounding edema and mass
with shift of midline structures similar to the prior study.
2. Left frontal approach EVD in stable position terminating in
the left
caudothalamic groove.
3. Mild interval decrease in the intraventricular
hemorrhage.Ventricular size not significantly changed.
[**2194-4-28**] CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITHOUT AND WITH INTRAVENOUS
CONTRAST:
Included lung bases are clear and there is no pleural or
pericardial effusion. No focal masses are noted within the
adrenal glands which display symmetrical, slightly increased
thickening bilaterally, which may reflect a component of
hyperplasia with no additional masses noted along the
sympathetic chain including in the expected location of the
organ of Zuckerkandl. Limited evaluation of the liver,
gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, stomach, and bowel appear
unremarkable. A post-pyloric feeding tube is in place with its
tip terminating at the third portion of the duodenum. Dense
medullary calcification is present within the
kidneys. In addition to some cysts within the medulla, the
largest within the left lower pole measuring 14 x 14 mm. Normal
excretion of contrast is noted within the collecting systems. No
free air, free fluid, or pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are
present. No significant atherosclerotic plaque is noted near the
origins of the renal arteries to suggest any underlying
stenosis.
BONE WINDOWS: No aggressive osseous lesions are noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. No focal adrenal masses or findings of adrenal/extra-adrenal
paraganglioma. Mild symmetrical thickening to the adrenal glands
may suggest a component of underlying hyperplasia.
2. Bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis with imaging appearance
most
suggestive of medullary sponge kidney, with differential
including renal
tubular acidosis or hyperparathyroidism.
[**2194-4-30**] BUE dopplers:
IMPRESSION: No DVT in either upper extremity
[**2194-4-30**] CTA Head:IMPRESSION:
1. Stable appearance of a right basal ganglia parenchymal
hemorrhage with
ventricular extension. Slight increase in anterior parenchymal
edema is seen, with suggestion of increased transcranial
herniation at the anterior aspect of the craniectomy site.
2. No vascular stenosis, aneurysm, dissection, or malformations
seen. There is no active contrast extravasation (so-called "CTA
spot sign").
[**5-1**] CT Head: IMPRESSION: No interval change of a right basal
ganglia hematoma, with neighboring edema or evolving infarction,
local mass effect, intraventricular extension, and mild
transgaleal herniation through the craniectomy site.
[**5-3**] CT Head: IMPRESSION: Status post removal of the ventricular
drain without change in ventricular size or brain compared with
the prior CT from [**2194-5-1**].
[**5-5**] LENIS: IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in
either leg.

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was brought immediately to the OR for hemicraniectomy and
evacuation of clot. Post-operatively his exam showed localizing
on the right and left plegic. He had EVD placed at bedside with
high ICP upon insertion.
[**4-22**] Records were obtained from a previous admission [**1-6**] to [**Hospital **]
hospital that indicated a previous hospitalization for
hypertensive emergency resulting in a right [**Doctor First Name **] Ganglia
hemorrhage. Exam is somewhat improved on this mornings exam with
intermitant commands. EVD was raised to 15 after review of CT
that shows the left lateral ventricl to be collapsed. A fever
work up has been initiated for fevers and elevated WBC.
[**4-23**] Oral antihypertensive meds were increased to wean off the
IV nicardipine. Patient was febrile and was pancultured.
Overnight, he remained febrile and on [**4-24**] CSF cultures were
sent and were essentially negative for growth. Sputum Culture
was positive for multiple organisms and as a result pt was
started on vanc/cef. On [**4-25**] he was extubated without incident
and respiratory status has remained unchanged during his ICU
course.
He continued to remain stable during is ICU course and received
tPA through EVD daily. He became febrile on [**4-28**] and CSF was
sent which showed some PMNs. Additionally, his EVD was increased
to 20 cm H20 and his ICPs continued to remain stable. Overnight
he remained afebrile. His serum NA was 150 and he was given free
water with good effect. Later in the day, it was noted that the
distal portion of the EVD tubing had air and his system was
changed out. On [**4-29**], his EVD was raised again to 25cm. His serum
NA was stable. He was afebrile overnight. Coreg was increased
and he was given a dose of Lasix 20mg. He underwent his PEG
placement on [**2194-4-29**]. His feeds were started on [**4-30**] and
tolerating. On [**5-1**], he remained stable with his EVD clamped. A
head CT was done whcih showed no evidence of ventricular
enlargement after clamping of his EVD. He remained stable
without ICP spikes and on 5.6 his EVD was removed and a stitch
placed. He was transferred to the SDU for further montioring ojn
the evening of [**5-2**]. he remained stable voernight and on [**5-3**] he
had a temperature of 101 and urine was sent for testing. On [**5-4**]
he was evalauted by renal medicine regarding his Sponge Kidney
and recommendations for 24 urine metanephrines and increasing
free water through his PEG were recieved. On [**5-5**] screening
LENI's were negative and free water was again increased per
renal. On [**5-6**] repeat 24hr urine revealed increased Na so his
free water was increased. On [**5-7**] he was neurologically stable.
Free water was decreased and increased per renal recs and serum
Na's.
On [**5-8**] the patient's hypernatremia continued to resolve. His
IVF was discontinued and he was continued on 400ml of free
water. Overnight his tube feed residuals were high so tube feeds
were held. He was started on reglan to stimulate gastric
motility. Feeds were restarted at 6 AM on [**5-9**].
He remained neurologically stable overnight and was cleared for
discharge in the AM.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 46-year-old man
with known anomalous right superior pulmonary vein draining
into the superior vena cava. Magnetic resonance imaging scan
performed on [**2167-10-14**] showed an ejection fraction of 60
percent with hypokinesis of the right ventricle. His QP/QS
was 1.7 consistent with a significant intracardiac shunt. A
catheterization was performed on [**2168-5-18**] which showed
normal coronary arteries and again an anomalous pulmonary
vein.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: His blood pressure was 120/80, heart
rate was 70 and regular, and he had a 2/6 systolic murmur.
Lungs were clear bilaterally. Abdomen was slightly obese,
but soft and nontender. No masses palpable. Neurological
exam was normal. He had palpable lower extremity pulses and
no lower extremity edema.
LABORATORY FINDINGS: Potassium was 4.1, sodium was 134,
chloride 100, BUN 13, creatinine 1.0, calcium 8.9, white
blood count 8900, and hematocrit was 43 percent.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for diabetes mellitus and
he is being treated with oral medication. After the
different treatment options were explained to the patient and
his wife, they elected to proceed with repair of the
anomalous pulmonary vein. This was performed on [**2168-5-30**].
At that time, a baffle was created between the anomalous
pulmonary vein and the foramen ovale. This was performed
using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium.
Postoperatively, he had some problems with pain control and
had atrial fibrillation, but this was converted to sinus
rhythm prior to discharge.
At the time of discharge, he is ambulating without
assistance. He is tolerating a regular diet. He is to see
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in 2 weeks in followup and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] also in
2 weeks.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: Anomalous right superior pulmonary
vein.
Congestive heart failure.
Diabetes mellitus.
Chronic cough.
Status post repair of anomalous pulmonary vein.

Final Report
INDICATION: 82-year-old woman with fall, query subdural hematoma
versus
epidural.
COMPARISON: [**2115-12-26**].
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
FINDINGS: There is a 7-mm wide crescentic extra-axial hyperdense
collection layering over the right cerebral convexity,
compatible with an acute subdural hematoma. There is no
significant shift of midline structures. There is no mass effect
or edema. Ventricles, sulci, and cisterns are similar to prior.
Basal cisterns are preserved. Periventricular white matter
hypodensity is likely the sequela of chronic small vessel
ischemic disease.
There is a left frontal cephalohematoma with subcutaneous gas
seen (series 2, image 18). There are comminuted fractures of the
right lamina
papyracea and floor of the right orbit, with extensive
subcutaneous and
retroorbital gas, proptosis, and periorbital hematoma. A
depressed fracture fragement from the orbital floor fracture is
seen within the right maxillary sinus, but without entrapment of
the inferior rectus muscle. Comminuted fractures of both nasal
bones, as well as the anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral
walls of the right maxillary sinus are present. The frontal
process of the right zygoma also demonstrates comminuted
fractures.The left maxillary sinus also demonstrates comminuted
fractures of the lateral and medial walls. Minimally displaced
fractures of the medial and lateral plates of the pterygoid
processes bilaterally are fractured. Both orbits remain intact.
For further details, see the CT of the facial bones. High-
attenuation fluid is seen in both maxillary and ethmoid sinuses
consistent
with hemorrhage.
IMPRESSION:
1. Right subdural hematoma layering over the right cerebral
convexity without midline shift.
2. Extensive complex facial fractures. Refer to the CT facial
bones.
3. Right frontal subgaleal hematoma.

REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
evaluate for aspiration
Final Report
INDICATION: 83-year-old woman with subdural hematoma, evaluate
for
aspiration.
TECHNIQUE: This study was performed in conjunction with speech
and swallow
pathologist. A limited oral and pharyngeal swallowing
videofluoroscopy was
performed. Nectar thick liquid, two tablespoon and pureed
consistency barium, one tablespoon were administered.
Following administration of nectar- thick liquid, there was
significant
prolongation of the oral transit time with immediate penetration
and
aspiration. Following this one tablespoon of pureed consistency
barium was
administered which also demonstrated immediate penetration and
aspiration. The patient was unable to clear the pharyngeal
residue. There was inability to consistently trigger a second
swallow or cough. At this point the study was aborted.
IMPRESSION: Penetration and aspiration with nectar-thick and
pureed
consistencies of barium. Please refer to the full speech and
swallow
pathologist's note for recommendations.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname 7931**] was admitted to the neurosurgery service for ICU close
neurological monitoring due to her subdural and facial
fractures. She had a trauma consult and was found to to have
multiple facial fractures including pterygoid processes, floor
of the right orbit, both maxillary sinuses, right lamina
papyracea, right zygoma, bilateral nasal bones, and [**Last Name (un) 2043**] nasal
septum. No muscular entrapment is seen within the right orbital
floor fracture. She also had extensive right periorbital
hematoma and subcutaneous gas, with extension of gas
retroorbitally. The right globe is proptotic, but remains
intact.
She was noted to have a triponin leak of 0.05 for which a beta
bloker was added. Plastic surgery recommended clindamycin for 5
days and a soft diet. Follow up head CTs were stable size of
subdural hematoma.
She was transferred to step down unit on [**8-26**]. Physical therapy
and occupational therapy felt she was appropriate for acute
rehab. Her mentation improved on a daily basis and she began to
speak and follow simple commands. She had a video swallow on
[**8-31**] which showed some aspiration. The patient had a
flex/extension x-ray of the cervical spine on [**9-2**] which was
negative for fracture or malalignment. Therefore her collar was
removed. She had a repeat video swallow evaluation on [**9-2**]
because she was able to have different positioning after the
collar was removed. The evaluation showed continued aspiration.
On [**9-4**] she had a PEG placed. Following the PEG placement she
had approx 200-250cc of melanotic stool. Gasteroenterology was
consulted to assess for etiology of bleeding and
recommendations. She was then scoped by GI and duodenal ulcers
x2 were noted and cauterized. She was maintained on a PPI, with
stable Hct.
On [**9-9**], she was discharged to an appropriate rehab
facility, and given instructions for follow up in 6 weeks with a
non-contrast Head CT.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Blood pressure is 96/34, pulse 92,
respiratory rate 12. In general, the patient was sedated.
The pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and
accommodation. The lungs were clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Heart - regular rate and rhythm, III/VI
systolic ejection murmur that radiates to the carotids and
across the precordium. The abdomen was soft, mildly
distended with active bowel sounds.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood count 31.6, hematocrit 32.8,
platelets 683,000. Chemistries were notable for a blood urea
nitrogen of 44, creatinine 2.3, lactic acid of 5.5. Arterial
blood gases on admission were pH 7.42, 35 and 72.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was treated for aspiration
pneumonia and respiratory failure in the Medical Intensive
Care Unit. He was then transferred to the floor on the
following medications: Vancomycin intravenously, Flagyl
intravenously, Lopressor, Zestril, Xalatan, Heparin,
Protonix, Iron Sulfate, Tylenol and Morphine. The patient
had been transferred to the floor after discussion to make
him DNR/DNI. On the medicine floor, discussion was had with
the patient's family about making him comfort measures as it
appeared he would not be able to tolerate p.o. feeding and
the family was against gastrostomy tube placement.
Therefore, the patient was made comfort measures on [**2109-10-26**],
and given Morphine drip. The patient finally expired on
[**2109-10-28**], at 1:30 a.m. at which time the attending, Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 5762**], and the patient's wife were notified.

TEST RESULT
HEPARIN DEPENDENT ANTIBODIES POSITIVE
COMMENT: POSITIVE FOR HEPARIN PF4 ANTIBODY [**Doctor First Name **]
REPORTED TO [**Name8 (MD) **], RN [**2144-8-3**] 2 PM.
Complete report on file in the laboratory.
Brief Hospital Course:
A brief summary of the patient's course is summarized below by
problem:
1. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
Invasive procedures relating to the problem:
[**2144-7-31**] Thrombectomy of right iliofemoral artery.
[**2144-8-4**] Superficial femoral artery thrombectomy.
Intraoperative arteriography.
Bilateral lower extremity arteriography,
Rheolytic thrombectomy left common and external iliac
artery,left external iliac stent placement.
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia was recognized as the etiology
of the patient's presenting problem of bilateral lower extremity
ischemia. She underwent the above listed interventions and was
anticoagulated with Lepirudin, Plavix, and Aspirin. This was
continued until a recalcitrant bleeding duodenal ulcer developed
after which she was maintained on aspirin only for the majority
of her remaining hospital stay. After the initial treatment of
the HIT, there were no recurrent clinical sequels of her HIT.
2. Duodenal ulcer, bleeding s/p endoscopic treatment with
cautery and epinephrine injection x 3
After anticoagulation for the patient's HIT and bilateral lower
extremity arterial thromboses, she developed significant UGI
bleeding. It was ultimately controlled with a combination of
multiple upper endoscopies, and cessation of her lepirudin and
plavix. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a duodenal ulcer and a
gastric ulcer as the source of her bleeding. The duodenal ulcer
was the primary contributor. Prior to discharge, she was
restarted on Coumadin 5 mg nightly and has tolerated resumption
of the coumadin without evidence of recurrence of her bleeding.
3. Supraventricular tachycardia
Throughout her hospital stay, the patient has had SVT on
occasion but this has improved significantly with beta blockade,
amiodarone, and diuresis. She is being discharged with
amiodarone but it may be possible to discontinue this after
further resolution of her current illness.
4. Subacute subdural hematoma
The patient developed a diminished level of consciousness and
increased agitation several weeks into her admission. This was
evaluated with a CT scan of the head. Bilateral subacute
subdural hematomas were demonstrated. A neurosurgical consult
was obtained. No neurosurgical intervention was recommended.
With time her sensorium has improved dramatically. This is
considered an inactive issue.
6. Acute blood loss anemia requiring transfusion
The patient's blood loss was secondary to her upper GI bleeding.
She is currently hemostatic.
7. Left pleural effusion requiring thoracentesis, ultimately
requiring video assisted thoracoscopy with partial decortication
and chest tube placement:
[**2144-8-14**] Left thoracoscopy
[**2144-9-9**] Left thoracoscopy with removal of pleural fibrin and
evacuation of empyema cavity with placement of chest tubes
The patient had developed a chronic left thoracic pleural
effusion following her CABG. Ultimately this became an infected
collection and was found, following VATS, to contain E. Coli.
Chest tubes were left in place following the VATS procedure.
These have had diminishing output since the day of the
procedure. The thoracic surgery team has taken the tubes off of
waterseal as the collections do not communicate significantly
with the patient's airway. These will be removed, an inch per
week, until the chest tubes are completely removed.
Summation:
The patient has undergone a series of insults following her
emergency CABG on [**2144-7-16**] beginning with bilateral lower
extremity ischemia due to heparin induced thrombocytopenia,
bleeding duodenal ulcer and bilateral subdural hematomas
probably secondary to anticoagulation, and multiple foci of
infection with the Left empyema representing the largest one.
Taken together these injuries have required a prolonged course
accelerated to some extent by tracheostomy and gastrostomy. Ms.
[**Known lastname 55840**] has made major progress from a serious illness and is
being transferred to [**Hospital3 7**] in fair, stable, but
improving condition.

alcohol withdrawal who presented from his skilled nursing/rehab
center for agitation after being discharged from [**Hospital1 18**] two days
ago. At the rehab facility, the patient spent the last 24 hours
in severe agitation that required 4-point restraints and
multiple chemical restraints in order for him to calm down.
According to the Neurologist in the ED, he was disoriented,
tachycardic, agitated, and diaphoretic in the setting of
presumed 3 days abstinence from benzos. Mr. [**Known lastname 62523**] had some
restriction in eye movements but no gaze deviation and no
lateralizing signs at this point. Neurology believes withdrawal
is the most likely etiology. If fevers develop, he may require a
lumbar puncture. such as infection Metabolic derangements, drug
overdose, hepatic failure, and gastrointestinal bleeding can
also mimic or coexist with withdrawal. In the absence of
complications, symptoms can persist for up to seven days.
Additionally as he does not seem to have full abduction of his
eyes, Neurology recommends continuing on IV thiamine for
presumed Wernicke's. Given that the mammillary bodies are
enriched with dopamine receptors, would avoid Haldol as this may
exacerbate his Wernicke Korsakoff's pathology.

bradycardia is new, ST segment elevation is slightly more
pronounced and could be rate related.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 57-year-old man with a history of alcohol
dependence who was recently discharged after detoxifying at [**Hospital1 1535**] but also suffering from
Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome, who presented from his nursing
facility with altered mental status.
#. Delirium/altered mental status: Patient had been agitated at
nursing facility. TSH, B12, folate, and lactate all within
normal limits. Ammonia also normal. Patient was been afebrile,
WBC was normal, CXR and UA negative. CT head was negative.
Neurology and Psychiatry consulted. Psychiatry discovered that
patient was receiving oxazepam at facility. Combined with the
significant (12mg IV) lorazepam he received in Emergency
Department and 5mg IV more on initial evening in ICU,
benzodiazepine intoxication felt to be responsible for much of
altered mental status. Benzos stopped and replaced with Zyprexa
to a maximum dose of 35mg daily with monitoring of QTc (407 on
last day of ICU stay). Patient continued on folate,
multivitamin, vitamin D and thiamine. Patient restarted on home
olanzapine 5 mg QAM and 15 mg QPM per psychiatry recs. EKG was
periodically monitored for prolongation of the QTc. He continued
to be agitated particularly at night and was started on
trazadone 100 mg QHS and mirtazepine 30 mg PO QHS. He improved
on this regimen. After originally planning to send the patient
to a dementia unit, eventually his brother made the decision to
take him home with 24 hour supervision at his home. Vitamin
supplementation was discontinued on discharge as patient is no
longer drinking alcohol. He will follow up frequently with his
PCP and will also follow up with cognitive neurology.
#. Hyponatremia: Patient presented with hyponatremia. He may
have been volume down at his nursing facility, esecially if he
has been agitated and unable to take PO. During his last
hospitalization, his sodium was well within normal limits.
Sodium corrected to low normal with maintenance fluids.
# Back pain- Patient has migratory low back pain without any
neurological deficits or signs of infection. This is a chronic
issue for Mr. [**Known lastname 62523**]. He was treated with ibuprofen, tylenol
and lidocaine patch, which helped.
Chronic Issues:
#. Hypertension: Continued home propranolol and lisinopril.
#. Essential tremor: Continued home proprnaolol.
#. Presumed CAD: Continued home aspirin.
#. Presumed BPH: Continued home tamsulosin.
#. Presumed GERD: Continued home omeprazole.
Transitional Issues:
- Olanzapine: maximum dose 30 mg daily in a 24 hour span
- Monitor QTc regularly (goal QTc < 500 ms)Qtc on [**2129-10-4**] 400

Conclusions
Pre-CPB:
No spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the left atrial
appendage.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF
50-55%). with borderline normal free wall function. There are
simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta.
The aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed.
There is critical aortic valve stenosis (valve area <0.8cm2).
Trace aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial mitral
regurgitation is seen.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Post-CPB:
The patient is AV-Paced, on no inotropes.
Unchanged biventricular systolic fx.
There is a bio-prosthetic valve in the aortic position with no
leak and no AI.
Residual mean gradient = 11 mmHg.
Aorta intact. Trace MR.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the hospital, completed a
unremarkable pre-operative workup and was brought to the
operating room on [**2100-7-20**] where the patient underwent an Aortic
valve replacement (23 St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**] tissue). Overall the patient
tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was
transferred to the CVICU in stable condition for recovery and
invasive monitoring. Vanco was used for surgical antibiotic
prophylaxis. POD 1 found the patient extubated, alert and
oriented and breathing comfortably. The patient was
neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable on no inotropic
or vasopressor support. Beta blocker was initiated and the
patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. The
patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further
recovery. Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without
complication. He did have less than 24 hours of rapid atrial
fibrillation but converted to sinus rhythm with Amiodarone and
increased Lopressor. He was in sinus rhythm at the time of
discharge. The patient failed to void when his Foley was
removed and was found to have 800cc in his bladder via bladder
scan and the Foley was re-inserted. A repeat voiding trial was
done and the patient was able to void successfully. The patient
was evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance
with strength and mobility. By the time of discharge on POD #4
the patient was ambulating freely, the wound was healing and
pain was controlled with oral analgesics. The patient was
discharged home in good condition with appropriate follow up
instructions via the Spanish interpreter.

Service: NB
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname 9434**] is a 29-2/7
weeks gestational age male twin born at 1305 gm to a 28-year-
old G1P0 mother with the following prenatal labs. Blood type
O negative, antibody negative, rubella immune, RPR
nonreactive, hepatitis surface antigen negative, GC/C
negative.
This twin diamniotic-dichorionic pregnancy was spontaneously
conceived. No complications other than the mother developed
cervical shortening and was treated with betamethasone on
[**2144-10-2**]. She was transferred to [**Hospital6 2561**] on
the day prior to delivery with preterm labor and further
cervical changes. She was subsequently transferred to [**Hospital6 1760**] for further care. Spontaneous
rupture of membranes occurred three hours prior to delivery.
Delivery was by cesarean section secondary to fetal breech
position. The baby emerged with reduced tone and minimal
respiratory effort. The patient was treated with stimulation
and facial CPAP with prompt resolution of irregular
respirations. Apgars were seven and eight at one and five
minutes. The patient was transferred to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit for further management.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On presentation, vital signs showed a
temperature of 97.3, heart rate 164, respiratory rate 50, O2
saturation 95 percent on room air, blood pressure 34/16 with
a mean of 29, weight is 1305 gm, length is 42 cm, head
circumference 27.5 cm. General: Preterm male in radiant
warmer, no apparent distress. HEENT: AFOS, OP clear, palate
intact, red reflex intact bilaterally. Neck: Supple, no
crepitus. Respiratory: Clear to auscultation bilaterally,
good air entry, mild intermittent retractions. Cardiac:
Regular rate and rhythm, S1-S2 normal, no murmur. Abdomen:
Soft, nondistended, no bowel sounds, no hepatosplenomegaly,
anus patent. Genitourinary: Normal male genitalia, descended
bilaterally. Extremities: Well perfused bilaterally, femoral
pulses two plus bilaterally. No cyanosis or edema. Spine:
Intact, no dimpling, no Ortolani or Barlow sign is present.
Neurological: Spontaneous MAE, appropriate tone on exam.
Motor - normal suck, palmar and plantar grasp intact.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Respiratory: Upon arrival to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, the patient exhibited irregular
respirations as well as poor spontaneous respiratory effort
and was intubated. By day of life number three, the patient
was extubated to CPAP plus five and remained on CPAP until
hospital day number six, [**2144-10-22**]. On the next day,
hospital day number seven, the patient was transitioned to
room air and remained so until hospital day fourteen at which
time, he was placed on nasal cannula 21 percent on varying
flows of O2 from 100-200 cc. The patient was placed on nasal
cannula O2 at this time for increased apnea of prematurity.
The patient was weaned off nasal cannula by [**2144-11-10**] and
has remained so until the date of interim discharge summary.
The patient exhibited apnea of prematurity by day of life
number three at which point he was loaded with caffeine
citrate. Caffeine citrate was continued until [**2144-11-11**] at
which point it was discontinued.
Cardiovascular: This patient remained cardiovascularly
stable throughout his hospital course. Secondary to a murmur
heard on day of life number two, the patient received a
cardiac echocardiogram which revealed a small ventricular
septal defect, as well as a small patent ductus arteriosus.
In addition, a small patent foramen ovale was detected with
bidirectional flow present.
Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: The patient was NPO on
day of life number one at 80 cc/kg/day of parenteral
nutrition. The patient was started on enteral feeds on day of
life number four and was quickly increased to full feeds of
150 cc/kg/day by day of life number ten. Currently at the
time of this interim summary, the patient is on breast milk
32 kilocalories per ounce and 150 cc/kg/day PO/PG.
Hematology: The patient's initial CBC was benign with a
white blood cell count of 5.5, hematocrit of 50.1, platelets
231, differential white count of 27 polycytes, 58
lymphocytes. The patient was placed on ampicillin and
gentamycin secondary to maternal sepsis risk factors and
continued on antibiotics until 48 hours at which point they
were discontinued secondary to negative blood cultures. The
patient had no other infectious disease issues during his
hospitalization.
The patient's bilirubin on day of life number two was 8.6
mg/dl at which point phototherapy was initiated until day of
life number six. The patient's bilirubin dropped to 4.3 mg/dl
at which point phototherapy was discontinued.
Neurologic: The patient remained neurologically stable
throughout his hospital course.
CARE/RECOMMENDATIONS: At the time of interim summary, breast
milk 30 kilocalories per ounce at 150 cc/kg/day. Medications
include ferrous sulfate and vitamin E. State newborn
screening sent. No immunizations administered.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: Prematurity at 29-2/7 weeks gestational
age.
Respiratory distress, resolved.
Hyperbilirubinemia, resolved.
Immature feeding.
Small ventricular septal defect, small patent ductus
arteriosus.

History of Present Illness:
64 M w/ hx catastrophic central cord syndrome s/p fall ([**11/2198**])
w/ resultant C5 quadriplegia (was trached and had peg as well,
now removed) who has urostomy tube in place, hospital course
also complicated by segmental PE and VAP, discharged from rehab
3 days ago and brought to ED because of unresponsive episode and
hypotension. Per wife, pt has had increased sleepiness and
fatigue since discharge from rehab 3 days prior to admission.
Today, pt had episode of unresponsiveness while getting into
shower. Episode lasted ~10 sec, at which time his eyes were
open, but pt wasn't following commands. EMS arrived and found
pt minimally responisve, hypotensive to 60s, but protecting
airway. He opened his eyes to command, and he was answering
basic questions. No F/C (but thermal regulation is poor), N/V,
abd pain, chest pain, SOB or signs of autonomic ysregulation.
Regular daily BMs with enema. No diplopia, other episodes of
LOC, change in strength or weakness. Per report, pt had
foul-smelling drainage from urostomy tube. Urostomy initially
placed in [**1-/2199**], most recently changed [**4-16**] by nurse prior to
discharge from [**Hospital3 **].

In the ED, VS were: 97.2 68 120/77 16 100% 2 L NC. Given
unclear allergy to vanc/zosyn, pt given clinda/cefepime. Had a
R-groin triple lumen, clean line. Received total 5L NS, and
initially started on levophed. Levophed has slowly been
titrated down w/ volume from IVF, currently at 0.15 mcg/kg.
Labs remarkable for WBC 18.5 (PMN predominant), +UA, lactate 3.0
--> 1.8. Per ED, at time of transfer, pt mentating better than
when he came in but not back to baseline. Of note, urostomy was
initially clogged; irrigated it and got back 500cc purulent
urine. Intial U/A, urine and BCx pending.
.
On the floor, pt without complaints aside from dry cough that
began in ED, arms feeling uncomfortable (in flexion), and
uncomfortable, cold legs. Re: ADLs, pt needs help to feed self;
able to use some OT tools to help, but still difficult. [**Hospital3 **]

Brief Hospital Course:
64 M s/p fall in [**11/2198**] now with C5 quadriplegia (s/p trach,
peg, and urostomy tube), who was brought into the ED following
unresponsive episode with hypotension, and found to have grossly
purulent urine, leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance, and
positive UA with clinical picture concerning for sepsis.
.
# Urosepsis: Patient was empirically started on clindamycin and
cefepime in the ED, and was hypotensive requiring fluid
reuscitation and a brief span of Levophed. In the MICU
antibiotics were switched to meropenem and linezolid
(questionable hx of vancomyin/zosyn reaction, thrombocytopenia,
when the two antibiotics were used together). Urine culture
returned positive for Proteus sensitive to meropenem so the
linezolid was stopped. Final sensitivity showed pt's Proteus was
sensitive to Ceftriaxone as well, so his antibiotic was changed
from Meropenem to Ceftriaxone. Urology was consulted and
recommended continuing the antibiotic for several days prior to
changing the urostomy tube. He remained afebrile and was
clinically stable for transfer to the floor. While on the
medicine floor, pt spiked a fever and blood cultures and urine
cultures were obtained. One set of the urine cultures returned
positive for staph aureus coag positive. Pt was started on
Vancomycin while the rest of the urine cultures were pending.
When the other urine cultures returned negative, pt was taken
off the vancomycin since the staph aureus coag positive was
likely due to skin contamination. Pt was d/c'd home after he was
afebrile for >24 hrs with continuation of Meropenem for
additional eight days to complete a 14 day course at home. In
addition, pt was seen by the urology consult team, and his
supra-pubic catheter was changed. Urology discussed with pt and
his wife the importance of flushing the catheter when needed,
changing the catheter every 4 weeks, and try to avoid up sizing
the catheter if possible. If there is a leakage, this can be a
sign of infection and pt should contact his primary care
physician as soon as possible.
.
# EKG Changes: The patient was noted to have asymptomatic t wave
inversions in V4-V6 with troponin elevated to 0.11, and then
0.08. He was given ASA and was seen by the Atrius cardiologist.
This was felt to be secondary to the underlying sepsis, rather
than ACS. A repeat EKG in the AM had normalized. While on the
medicine floor, pt was asymptomatic and did not have any chest
pain. A follow up ECHO was done, and it was positive for
regional systolic dysfunction c/w CAD (PDA distribution). His
troponin was 0.05 and CKMB was 3 at that time. The Atrius
cardiologist was reconsulted. EKG was repeated. Similar T waves
changes were appreciated. The decision was made to start medical
management only as pt was asymptomatic and the troponin leak was
not significant at this time and trending down. Please see Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) **].
[**Doctor Last Name **] (Atrius cardiologist) note for details. pt was started on
Aspirin, Metoprolol, Lisinopril, and Simvastatin. Pt tolerated
the medications well. He was instructed to follow up with Dr.[**First Name (STitle) 2920**]
as outpatient in 1 month and for repeat EKG.
.
# Quadriplegia s/p fall in [**11/2198**]: continued baclofen,
neurotin, IS, and bowel regimen. Gabapentin was stopped at pt's
request because he felt it was not effective at all.
.
# S/p Segmental Pulmonary Embolism in [**11/2198**] s/p IVC filter:
INR was supratherapeutic at 4.3, so warfarin was initally held.
When INR was below 2, Coumadin was restarted. At the time of
discharge, pt's INR was only 1.3, so he was instructed to
continue Lovenox treatment until his INR is between [**3-21**].
.
#Anemia: on admission pt's HCT was 38 and then trended down to
28. Pt's stool was guiac negative and physical exam was negative
for acute bleeding. Given pt's stable vital sign, the HCT drop
was thought to be due to dilutional effect from the large amount
of IVF for his hypotension.
.
#Insomnia: pt reported he was able to sleep without any
problems. His Trazodone was stopped at his request.
.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr.[**Known lastname 55450**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 827**]. You were admitted for low blood pressure and
hypotension, and were found to have a urinary tract infection
and abnormal EKG changes.
.
# Sepsis: The source of infection was likely proteus from urine.
You were treated with IV antibiotics and will need to continue
these at home until [**2199-5-3**] for a 2 week course.
.
Your suprapubic catheter was replaced by the urology consult
team on [**2199-4-22**]. They also discussed with you the importance of
irrigation as needed to maintain urine flow. They also
recommended that you change your catheter every 4 weeks and
avoid up sizing the tube if possible. Leakage from the tube can
be a sign of infection and you should contact your physician as
soon as possible if there is leakage.
.
#hx of segmental pulmonary embolism w/IVC filter ([**11-25**]): on
admission your INR was elevated. We held your coumadin and
trended your labs. You INR was then found to be
sub-therapeautic, and we restarted your Coumadin. While your
Coumadin was being titrated, we started you on Lovenox (this
should be continued until your INR is [**3-21**]).INR labs will be
obtained by the [**Month/Day (3) 269**] and they will send result to the
anticoagulation nurses and your primary care physician.
.
# Elevated cardiac enzymes and T wave inversions: you did not
have any chest pain or shortness of breath. You were seen by the
Atrius cardiologists and had an ultrasound of your heart (ECHO).
The result of the ECHO was abnormal. The cardiologist
recommended medical management with beta blocker, aspirin, ACE
inhibitor, and simvastatin and follow up as outpatient in 1
month and repeat EKG.
.
# Quadriplegia s/p fall in [**11/2198**]: you were continued on
Baclofen. Gabapentin was stopped at your request because it was
not effective.
.
#Increase bowel movements: you were tested for c. diff and the
result was negative. Your bowel movement returned to baseline at
the time of discharge.
.
#anemia: your hematocrit dropped from 38 on admission to 28.
Labs were followed and it was stable. Your stool was guiac
negative. You received IVF for hypotension, this can lead to the
dilution effect.
.
Transition issues:
-PICC line was placed on [**4-21**] for IV antibiotic.
In summary, the following changes were made:
-Stopped Gabapentin
-Stopped Trazodone
-Started IV Ceftriaxone
-Started Lovenox
-Started metoprolol
-Started baby aspirin
-[**Name2 (NI) **] Lisinopril

NAUSEA AND DIARRHEA. FENTANYL FROM WHICH SHE DEVELOPS
AGITATION.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION PRIOR TO ADMISSION:
VITAL SIGNS: Heart rate 80 and regular, respiratory rate 24,
blood pressure 159/62. Height is 48 inches. Weight is 88
pounds.
GENERAL: Frail appearing woman in no acute distress.
SKIN: Intact.
HEAD, EARS, EYES, NOSE AND THROAT: Unremarkable.
NECK: Limited range of motion.
CHEST: Clear to auscultation in the right lung field.
HEART: Regular rate and rhythm, grade [**4-8**] ejection murmur.
ABDOMEN: Softly distended, nontender, positive bowel sounds.
EXTREMITIES: Warm with no peripheral edema, limited mobility
of the left arm secondary to a humeral fracture. No
varicosities.
NEUROLOGIC: Grossly intact.
LABS: All labs are pending. Electrocardiogram is a V-paced
rhythm. Chest x-ray is also pending.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient is to be admitted as a
postoperative admission for coronary artery bypass graft AVR
on [**2113-5-8**]. As stated previously, the patient was
postoperative admit. On [**5-8**], she was admitted to the
Operating Room at which time she underwent coronary artery
bypass graft x2 with a saphenous vein graft to the LAD and
saphenous vein graft to distal RCA, as well as an aortic
valve replacement with a #19 pericardial valve. Please see
the Operating Room report for full details. The patient was
transferred from the Operating Room to the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit with an open chest. At that time, she
had epinephrine at 0.5 mcg per kg per minute, Levophed at 0.1
mcg per kg per minute, propofol, ............ and
............. The patient also had an anterior aortic
balloon pump in place at 1 to 1. Upon arrival in the CSRU,
the patient was noted to have bright red blood per
nasogastric tube. The gastrointestinal service was
consulted and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was done.
Unfortunately, the patient was unstable during the
esophagogastroduodenoscopy and the procedure had to be
aborted before completion. No source of gastrointestinal
bleeding was noted in the stomach. Blood was pooled in the
cardia. There was no blood in the antrum or the duodenum.
During her cardiac procedure and subsequent upper
gastrointestinal bleed, the patient received a total of 13
units of packed red blood cells, 12 units of platelets and 10
units of fresh frozen plasma on the day of her surgery. Over
the next several days, the patient remained in the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit sedated and paralyzed.
Hemodynamically, she continued to slowly improve and was
weaned from some of her cardioactive drugs. On postoperative
day 3, she returned to the Operating Room. At that time, her
balloon pump remained in place,however she was able to have
her chest closed. She returned from the Operating Room to
the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit again with propofol,
Neo-Synephrine and intra-aortic balloon pump at 1 to 1. This
patient was hemodynamically stable upon arrival to
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit for the course of the
evening and night. Following closure, the patient was weaned
from all cardioactive drugs. On the morning of postoperative
day 4 and 1, she was weaned from the intra-aortic balloon
pump which was ultimately discontinued without any
hemodynamic compromise. Following the removal of the
intra-aortic balloon pump, all sedation was discontinued.
The patient was weaned from full support mechanical
ventilation to pressure support ventilation. Neurologically,
the patient was slow to awaken for her sedation. She as
initially unresponsive and over the next several days,
regained the ability to follow commands. Two days following
chest closure, the patient's chest tubes were removed. On
postoperative day 3 and 6, the patient's Swan-Ganz catheter
was removed. On postoperative 7 and 4, the patient was
transferred from the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit to
the Surgical Intensive Care Unit for continuing postoperative
care in an Intensive Care Unit environment. Over the next
several days, the patient was slowly weaned from pressure
support ventilation and ultimately on [**5-19**], she was
successfully extubated. Following extubation, the patient
remained in the Intensive Care Unit where we closely
monitored her respiratory status. Several days following
extubation a swallow study was performed which the patient
felt initial plans were made to have a PEG placed, however,
decision was made not to place PEG. Her nasogastric feeding
tube was changed to a Dobbhoff tube. The patient remained in
the Intensive Care Unit throughout the rest of her hospital
course due to weakness and her high risk of aspiration.
On [**5-30**], it was decided that [**Last Name (un) 12315**] as stable and ready for
transfer to rehabilitation center of continuing postoperative
care and cardiac rehabilitation. At the time of transfer,
the patient's physical exam is as follows:
VITAL SIGNS: Temperature 96.1??????, heart rate 90 AV placed,

Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 64-year-old
male with known ST elevation, MI, status post elective cath
complicated by hypotension and bradycardia who was
transferred to CCU for observation. The patient initially
presented to [**Hospital3 417**] Medical Center on [**2163-1-14**] with
chest pain radiating to the jaw. He was found to have
increased troponin of 1.76, was given Nitroglycerin and
remained pain free over the next three days at the outside
hospital on Aspirin, Plavix and Nitroglycerin prn. He was
then transferred to [**Hospital1 69**] for
elective catheterization on [**2163-1-17**]. The catheterization
showed double occlusion of PDA, no intervention was done.
The patient was transferred to post-op area where he became
hypotensive after continuous pressure to his groin was
applied in order to stop the bleeding from the femoral
artery. The patient was noticed to have groin hematoma and
angiocele was attempted. He was also given 40 mg of
Protamine in order to stop the bleeding. At this time he
became hypotensive. This was thought to be secondary to
vagal reflux. He was given IV fluids and Dopamine after
which he developed upper body pruritic rash. Because of the
concern for anaphylaxis secondary to dye Protamine, the
patient was given 120 mg of Solu-Medrol and Benadryl as well
as Promethazine and Pepcid. CT of the head and abdomen were
obtained in order to rule out retroperitoneal or head
bleeding. Both were negative. Vascular surgery was
consulted and the patient was transferred to the CCU.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for lung cancer. The
patient had left lung cancer in [**2147**] and right lung cancer in
[**2155**], both resected. He also had a brain metastasis thought
to be due to left lung cancer in [**2149**], prostatic cancer
diagnosed in [**2160**]. Also has a history of hypertension,
peripheral vascular disease and hypercholesterolemia.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS: On admission, Aspirin 325 mg, Lipitor 10 mg,
Lisinopril 20 mg, Serax [**11-14**] q 8 hours prn, Percocet 1-2

anicteric. JVP at 6-7 cm of water. Regular rhythm and rate,
S1 and S2, no murmurs, rubs or gallops. Pulmonary exam clear
to auscultation anteriorly. Abdomen soft, nontender, non
distended. Extremities, moderate sized hematoma of the left
groin, dopplerable PT bilaterally and dorsal pedal pulse on
the right, foot only. Echocardiogram showed ejection
fraction more than 55% and basal inferior hypokinesis. White
cell count 10.2, hematocrit 39.5, platelet count 247,000,
sodium 137, potassium 3.9, chloride 106, CO2 19, BUN 15,
creatinine 0.6, glucose 166. ABG 7.26, 48, 113. EKG showed
ST elevations in V1 to V3, improved with Nitroglycerin.
Catheterization showed occluded left posterior descending
artery and non obstructive LAD with non dominant RCA.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the CCU for
observation and treatment of possible anaphylactic reaction.
Solu-Medrol and Nitro were continued over the next 24 hours.
The patient's mental status cleared the next morning. His
hematoma continued to ooze slowly and the patient was
transferred to the regular floor for observation of his
hematoma overnight. Duplex ultrasound of left femoral artery
was done and showed no evidence of pseudoaneurysm or an AV
fistula. Over the 24 hours prior to discharge his hematoma
remained stable with no symptoms or signs of bleeding. The
patient remained symptom free during his hospital stay. He
was discharged to home on [**2163-1-19**] in good condition on
cardiac diet, on the following medications.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Imdur 20 mg once a day, Dilantin 300

FINDINGS:
The endotracheal tube ends about 6 cm above the carina. The
cardiomediastinal
silhouette and hila are normal. There is no pleural effusion and
no
pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
ETT ends 6 cm above the carina, could be advanced by about 2cm
for optimal
position.
Brief Hospital Course:
49yoM h/o developmental delay, epilepsy, HTN, DVT/PE p/w
recurrent generalized convulsions without return to baseline.
[] Epilepsy/Seizures - He reportedly had at least two 20 minute
long seizures and an additional episode at the [**Hospital1 **]
ED. He was given at least 9mg of lorazepam, 1000 mg of
fosphenytoin, and then a propofol infusion for a few hours
before this was held on the morning of admission. 24h EEG was
initiated which did not reveal any signs of clinical seizures.
He was continued on Fosphenytoin 100 q8h with a corrected level
of 22 in the absence of PO access to deliver his prior
lamotrigine (his jaw was wired shut due to his prior maxillary
repair surgery, and one nares was occupied by the nasotracheal
tube). His sister reported that a [**Name (NI) 269**] was visiting him and was
helping him take his medications by mouth daily; she thought the
PHT second taper may have already ended prior to this admission,
but she did not know his current home LTG dose. After discussing
his case with OMFS, a nasogastric tube was placed and he was
restarted on his home dose of LTG (100 [**Hospital1 **]). Two doses of PHT
were held to help him wake up. He woke up and was extubated and
transferred to the Epilepsy floor. He had no further seizures
since the transfer.
[] DVT/PE/Supratherapeutic INR - His INR upon arrival was 12. He
was given prothrombin complex concentrate which brought the INR
to 2.6. Warfarin was delivered through the NGT. When the INR
dropped below 2, he was started on a heparin GTT to bridge him
to a therapeutic INR. He was then transitionned to Sub cutaneous
lovenox as a bridge until his INR became therapeutic. His
coumadin dose was increased to 7.5mg, then decreased to 5mg. He
reached therapeutic INR On [**2114-3-14**] and therefore the lovenox
was discontinued.
[] Swallowing Status - He was eating a liquid diet and taking
pills at home after his last admission. A bedside dysphagia
screen was performed by the [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 11 nurses which he passed.
[ ] Orthostatic hypotension:
He was found to be orthostatic when PT started to walk with him
on [**2114-3-13**]. He was given fluid boluses, placed on maintenance
fluids and encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. He improved
over the subsequent days.
Given the history of seizures and him being on coumadin, his
sister as well as the neurology team are concerned about him
living at home by himself. We will plan for discharge to a
skilled nursing facility for a short stay (less than 30 days).

to your medications, and we restarted you on your regular home
medications in the hospital. You had no further seizures since
you were admitted to us.
Your INR has also been lower than the goal of [**1-5**]. we started
you on lovenox until your INR reached 2 then we stopped it

Conclusions
PRE-BYPASS:
1. The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size.
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler.
2. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global
systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%). Overall left
ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%).
3. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are
normal.
4. The diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch
levels are normal. There are simple atheroma in the descending
thoracic aorta.
5. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with
good leaflet excursion. There is no aortic valve stenosis. Trace
aortic regurgitation is seen.
6. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial
mitral regurgitation.
7. There is no pericardial effusion.
POST-BYPASS: For the post-bypass study, the patient was
receiving vasoactive infusions including phenylephrine and is in
sinus rhythm.

breathing. Patient is accompanied by her husband and her friend,
[**Name (NI) **], who helps care for her. They report patient was found
very somnolent and was difficult to arouse, and reportedly
presents this way when she has a urinary track infection. Family
noted drowsiness starting the day prior to admission, and poor
po intake. On the am of admission, caretakers noted desaturation
to 89-90% on 2L o2 NC., which prompted them to bring her into
the ED.
ROS: Pt reports a low grade cough that has persisted from last
admission for PNA, that has been improving, some urinary
frequency (requiring additional catheterizations in addition to
Q4H) from 3 days PTA. Denies any shortness of breath, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, fevers or chills. Last bowel movement on
Friday night.
Regarding medications, patient is given her medications by

neg nitrates. Pt was given empiric 1g Vanco X1, Zosyn 4.5 g X1,
and Levo 750 mg X1 for ?LLL opacity on CXR. Official read of CXR
showed bibasilar ateletasis, no definitive evidence of PNA.
Primary care giver reported increased narcotic regimen including
Methadone. Pt was given Narcan 0.1mg and had significant
improvement in mental status, awake and responding
appropriately. Pt required two addl doses of Narcan 0.1mg in ED
with rapid recovery of respiratory rate and transferred to the
ICU for closer monitoring. On transfer, VS were 95.9 66 110/76,
16 95% on 2L NC.

Pathology report:
DIAGNOSIS:
T10 mass for frozen section, excision (A-C):
Metastatic carcinoma (see note).
T10 mass, excision (D):
Metastatic carcinoma (see note).
Note:
The tumor consists of well-formed thyroid follicles lined by
oxyphilic cells with prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemical
stains show that tumor cells stain positive for cytokeratin
cocktail (AE1/3 and CAM 5.2) and TTF-1. A stain for
thyroglobulin shows high background staining and is
non-contributory. The histomorphologic and immunophenotypic
findings are consistent with metastatic follicular carcinoma,
oxyphilic (Hurthle cell) type.
Clinical: Thoracic stenosis.
Gross:
The specimen is received fresh labeled with the patient's name,
"[**Known lastname 7168**], [**Known firstname **]" and the medical record number in two parts.
Part 1 is submitted for intraoperative consultation and is
additionally labeled "mass." It consists of a piece of red
hemorrhagic and cauterized soft tissue with associated tendon
and bone that measures 8 x 6 x 1 cm. A portion was taken for
intraoperative exam and the frozen section diagnosis by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **].
[**Doctor Last Name 7017**] is "metastatic carcinoma, final diagnosis pending
permanent section." The specimen is represented as follows: A =
frozen section remnant, B = sections with bone and C =
additional representative sections.
Part 2 is additionally labeled "T10 mass." It consists of a
piece of tan red soft tissue with associated tendon and bone
that measure 4 x 3 x 2.5 cm. The specimen is serially sectioned
to reveal hemorrhagic cut surfaces without any mass lesions and
represented in cassette D.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] Spine Surgery Service and
taken to the Operating Room for the above procedure without
complication and was taken to the SICU intubated for
intraoperative hypotension. For details please refer to the
dictated operative note and detailed sicu note for his course
there. TEDs / pnemoboots were used for postoperative DVT
prophylaxis. Intravenous antibiotics were continued for 24hrs
postoperatively per standard protocol. The patient's pain was
controlled with IV pain medications followed by oral analgesics
once tolerating POs. The patient's diet was advanced as
tolerated. The foley was removed on POD#2.
Physical therapy was consulted for mobilization. He continued
to improve on a daily basis and was limited by proprioceptive
deficits in his feet. He regained much of his lower extremity
strength and was 4/5 strength.
His intraoperative pathology report was consistent with
metastatic carcinoma, likely thyroid. Oncology and
endocrinology and surgical oncology was consulted. His CT scan
of chest did show a nodule in his thyroid. Plan was for
surgical resection in follow-up.
On the day of discharge the patient was afebrile with stable
vital signs, comfortable on oral pain control and tolerating a
regular diet. The patient was discharged to rehab with
instructions to follow up in clinic as directed with ortho
spine, surgical oncology, endocrinology and medical oncology.

constipation after surgery. You have been given medication to
help with this issue.
- Brace: You may have been given a brace. This brace is to be
worn when you are walking. You may take it off when sitting in a
chair or while lying in bed.
- Wound Care: Remove the dressing in 2 days. If the incision is
draining cover it with a new sterile dressing. If it is dry then
you can leave the incision open to the air. Once the incision is
completely dry (usually 2-3 days after the operation) you may
take a shower. Do not soak the incision in a bath or pool. If
the incision starts draining at anytime after surgery, do not
get the incision wet. Cover it with a sterile dressing. Call the
office.

CT Abd [**12-19**]:
1. Markedly dilated colon throughout ascending, transverse, and
descending colon with air-fluid levels, overall unchanged since
prior study performed on the same day with pneumatosis in the
ascending colon. Sigmoid diverticulosis with focal narrowing of
the sigmoid colon just distal to the dilatation with wall
thickening, due to diverticulitis. This area can be a leading
point of obstruction. An underlying mass lesion or cancer cannot
be excluded in this area, and further clinical investigation is
recommended.
2. Limited evaluation for known sigmoid-vesicle fistula.
3. Small amount of ascites, somewhat increased anterior to the
liver.
4. Bilateral renal cysts.
5. Heavy calcification of the aorta and SMA and its branches.
Due to atherosclerosis, assessment of the intraluminal process
of these branches is limited.
.
CTA/CT abd [**1-2**]:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism. Small bilateral pleural
effusions with compressive atelectasis.
2. Left lower quadrant thick-walled peripherally enhancing fluid
collection, which appears to communicate with the sutured end of
the proximal sigmoid colon via a small collection of
extraluminal gas. In the correct clincial setting, this could be
consistent with an abscess.
3. Moderate intraabdominal ascites.
4. Status post ileostomy without evidence of small-bowel
obstruction.
5. Distended gallbladder.
6. Diverticulosis within the right remnant sigmoid colon.
.
[**1-16**] VCUG - no leak
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname 71508**] was admitted on [**2139-12-19**] from an outside hospital to
the ICU.
Neuro: Developed confusion during her first 5 days in the ICU.
Post-operatively mental status improved. Intermitent delirium
throughout admission. Required restraints to prevent DC of
pertinent therapies while in the ICU. Currently AAOx3.
.
Cardiovascular: Complained of chest pain during first few days
of admission, a cardiology consult was obtained. She recieved
serial enzymes and EKGs. Troponins remained mildly elevated as
high as 0.6 throughout her admission, and most recent result now
0.1. She was treated in IUC for unstable angina with
nitroglycerin. It was recommended to maximize her medical
treatment with Beta blockers, aspirin, a statin and an ACE
Inhibitor. Required diuresis of >9L while in the ICU, after 2nd
surgery. Continues to have trace lower extremity edema, and
recieves lasix po.
.
Respiratory: She was intubated briefly post-op subtotal
colectomy and again for several days after second surgery.
Recieved nebulizer treatments post-op in the ICU, after
successfully extubated.
.
Gastrointestinal: Her initial CT scan showed dilated [**Last Name (un) 2432**] colon,
wall thickening and pneumatosis see pertinent results. She was
initially treated nonoperatively with IV fluids, antibiotics,
serial exams and NGT decompression. On HD#5 flexible
sigmoidoscopy was performed for colonic decompression. On HD#6,
colonscopy was performed for decompression, and revealed
pseudomembrane and friable colonic tissue. Her abdomen remained
tender and distended despite attempted decompression. She was
taken to the OR for Subtotal Colectomy, G tube and ileostomy due
to unresponsiveness to non-operative treatment. Ileostomy
remains pink and intact, draining green-brown soft stool. Her
post-operative course continued uneventfully in the ICU, and she
was transferred to the floor POD#6. She developed additional
abdominal tenderness and distention. Her HCT dropped and she
recieved 1 unit PRBCs. Geriatric consult was obtained to assist
with management. On POD#8 a CT scan was obtained which revealed
an abcess with a colovesicular fistula. She was taken to the OR
for exploration and drainage. She recieved further resection of
remaining colon, repair of a leak from [**Doctor Last Name 3379**] pouch and
repair of colovesicular fistula. After her 2nd surgery she
returned to the ICU and improved steadily. Abdomen remained soft
and nontender. She remained on IV antibiotics x 14 days and
required pressors for the first few days post-op. Her incision
has remained clean, dry, intact, with staples removed on
POD#27/18.
.
Genitourinary: She had a foley catheter from the time of
admission. POD#23/14 she recieved a cystoscopy which revealed no
leak. Her foley was subsequently dc'd.
.
Musculoskeletal: Has suffered significant deconditioning since
admission, but has consisitently recieved PT. See PT note for
further assessment and discussion.
Nutrition: She was held NPO at admission, and initiated on TPN
by HD#3. Post-operatively she began on TFs, and the TPN was
weaned down. By POD#[**3-26**] she was having high residuals on TFs, so
TPN was reinitiated. Tf's were dc'ed prior to second surgery.
POD# 15/6, she resumed TF's and TPN was tapered again. TF goals
were achieved and TPN dc'ed. A diet by mouth was initiated. At
time of discharge she is tolerating a regular diet with TF's at
goal. Patient is an insulin dependent diabetic. She was followed
by [**Hospital **] Clinic for treatment of persistent hyperglycemia.
.
Pain: Her pain was controlled with IV pain medicines while in
ICU. She has been adequately controlled with Tylenol, Motrin &
Oxycodone by mouth, per recommendations by Geriatrics.
.
POD#22/15 Ms [**Known lastname 71508**] was transferred to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 9 where she
continued to progress well with PT, increasing PO intake,
tolerating TFs, and weaning from nasal cannula oxygen. She has
remained stable with no acute events. She is discharged to rehab
on POD# 27/18.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is an 82 year old female
found down earlier this evening in her nursing home by her
caregiver, noted to be confused with a laceration to her left
head and she was taken to an Emergency Room at [**Hospital **]
Hospital and found to have a right subdural hematoma and a
small right subarachnoid hemorrhage. She became increasingly
confused and then she was transferred for further management
to [**Hospital6 256**]. She was intubated
for transport.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Past medical history is significant
for depression, osteoarthritis, constipation, urinary
incontinence and unknown cardiac disease. She has had a
hysterectomy and an incarcerated hernia in the past.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Temperature 99.0, pulse
101, blood pressure 129/64, respiratory rate 14, oxygen
saturation 100 percent, intubated in no apparent distress,
responding minimally to voice and responding minimally to
pain, noted to have posterior occipital head laceration that
is stapled. Pupils equally round and reactive to light.
Tympanic membranes are clear. Carotids 2 plus bruits
bilaterally. She was noted to have decreased breathsounds
bilaterally, good excursion, but no obvious chest wall
deformity. Heart was in regular rhythm, sinus tachycardia.
Abdomen was soft, nondistended with no rebound or guarding
and had normal bowel sounds and she had no midline spine
tenderness at this point, no obvious stepoff and was guaiac
negative. Over her left thigh her leg had some mild swelling
without ecchymosis. Toes were upgoing bilaterally and moves
well. She moves all of her extremities to pain. Her distal
pulses were 2 plus and her sensation was intact throughout.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to [**Hospital3 **]
[**Hospital **] [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] for further management and to be
admitted to the Trauma Intensive Care Unit. Computerized
axial tomography scan of her head repeated at [**Hospital3 **]
[**Hospital **] [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] showed right subdural hematoma and
emerged with small right subarachnoid hemorrhage. Chest x-
ray was largely unremarkable. Left hip revealed an
intertrochanteric femoral fracture and computerized axial
tomography scan of the cervical spine and the neck revealed
no fracture. The patient was kept NPO at this time and a
nasogastric tube was placed. The patient received thoracic,
lumbar and sacral films of her spine which revealed old
compression fractures and likely scoliosis. She was started
on intravenous fluids at this time. The patient was also
seen by Orthopedics and shortly thereafter taken to the
Operating Room where her left femur was fixed. The patient
was also seen by Neurosurgery who suggested that no
procedures would be needed and the goal was keep her blood
pressure less than 150 and to keep her INR less than 1.3.
These recommendations were all followed by the Trauma Service
at this time.
The patient was also seen by Cardiology for a rising troponin
to 0.28 and the history of her being found on the floor with
a broken hip. She was cleared at this time for hip surgery
with beta blocker and tight blood pressure control. It was
determined that she was not a candidate at this time for any
interventional procedure by the Cardiology Team. She
received a repeat computerized axial tomography scan of the
head on [**2156-11-10**], hospital day Number 2, before she
was to go to the Operating Room for Orthopedics. This was
noted to be stable and did not reveal any new or increased
bleeding. Aspirin was started for her likely myocardial
infarction as she was not a candidate for catheterization.
Goals were to see a hematocrit greater than 30. The patient
also received a statin. She was started on Lipitor at this
time. Computerized axial tomography scan of the abdomen was
also unremarkable, performed at this time. The computerized
axial tomography scan of the chest revealed no fractures.
The patient was seen by Neurosurgery who at this time signed
off on the patient, and said the patient could follow up in
clinic in six weeks with repeat computerized axial tomography
scan. She will receive physical therapy and occupational
therapy. The patient also had an echocardiogram during her
stay that revealed an ejection fraction of greater than 55
percent with some thickened aortic valve and mild mitral
regurgitation and moderate pulmonary artery hypertension. A
Dobhoff tube was also placed during this time for tube
feedings and another computerized axial tomography scan was
performed that was stable, and on hospital day Number 4 the
patient was able to be extubated in the Intensive Care Unit.
He tolerated this procedure well and continued to respirate
well without difficulty. On hospital day Number 5, [**2156-11-13**], the patient was moved to all oral medications and
proceeded to have good pain control. She continued to be
followed by Orthopedics and was continued on Telemetry
throughout this time. The patient was also seen by the
Swallow Service to evaluate her bedside swallow and see if
she was safe to move to oral foods and liquids. The patient
passed the test and was then advanced to regular diet. Tube
feeds were stopped.
On the day of discharge the patient was noted to be stable.
Electrolytes were repleted appropriately. The patient was
screened for rehabilitation and the case was discussed with
her health care proxy, [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 1356**]. All aspects of his
care were discussed with [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1356**]. The patient was
noted to be Do-Not-Resuscitate, Do-Not-Intubate at this time
and she was made so appropriately in the ordering system.
Anticoagulation was discussed with Neurosurgery as
Orthopedics wanted the patient to be receiving Lovenox at
this time. The patient had been on heparin subcutaneously,
5000 units t.i.d. A head computerized tomography scan was
performed and it was revealed to be stable, and the patient
was able to be discharged to rehabilitation on Lovenox to
start the day after discharge. There were no other needs at
this time for the patient and she was able to be discharged
for rehabilitation services and she was to follow up with
Neurosurgery in six weeks for repeat head computerized axial
tomography scan and Orthopedics in two weeks for follow up
evaluation.

Date of Birth: [**2138-1-23**] Sex: F
Service: NB
REASON FOR ADMISSION:
1. Prematurity (33-5/7-weeks gestation).
2. Mild respiratory distress syndrome.
PRENATAL HISTORY: Baby [**Known lastname 3501**] was born to a 32-year-old G2,
P0 mother with the following prenatal screens: Hepatitis B
surface antigen negative, RPR NR, blood group A-positive,
antibody negative, rubella immune. EDC [**2138-3-8**].
The prenatal course was significant for:
1. Fetal survey with bilateral clubbed feet. Fetal
echocardiogram at [**Hospital3 1810**] with trace
TR at 24 weeks, repeat echocardiogram at 32 weeks normal,no
amniocentesis done.
2. Mother presented at [**2138-1-20**] with hypertension.
Evaluation showed atypical PIH with cholestasis and
thrombocytopenia, thought possibly due to gestational
etiology. Platelets 90-100K, LFTs elevated (AST 94, ALT
126). CMV IgG/M negative, toxo IgG/M negative.
3. Daily nonstress test since admission with normal BPP.
Normal intrauterine growth. Of note, NST on [**1-22**]
with fetal tachycardia to 190s, which eventually
decreased to 170s.
4. Received betamethasone 2nd dose on [**2138-1-23**]. She
proceeded for cesarean section due to concerns for
maternal cholestatic liver disease.
PAST OBSTETRIC HISTORY: SAB in [**2136-12-22**].
DELIVERY: Baby was delivered by cesarean section and born on
[**2138-1-23**] at 11:40 p.m. She emerged active, but then was
noted to have apnea with central cyanosis and pale legs. She
received PPV with good response. Apgars were 5 and 8 at 1 and
5 minutes respectively. She was noted to have mild cyanosis
and required oxygen during transport to NICU.
POSTNATAL: Upon arrival, infant noted to have room air
oxygen saturations at less than 75%, oxygen saturations
increased to 90% when received blow-by oxygen.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Weight 2115 grams (50th
percentile); length 43.5 cm (25-50th percentile);
HR=170s, RR=28, Baby receiving blow-by oxygen with oxygen
saturations over 90%, MBP=52. Pale infant in moderate respiratory
distress, air flow to right naris is audible. HEENT: Anterior
fontanel at level, slightly small palpebral fissure,
normal ears, palate intact. Cardiovascular: Normal S1, S2, no
murmur. Chest: Moderate aeration bilateral, pectus noted with
mild-to-moderate intercostal and subcostal retractions,Nasal
flaring, no grunting. Abdomen: Soft, nontender, nondistended.
Extremities: Well perfused. Hips: Stable. Bilateral club feet.
Neuro: Tone & reflexes normal.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
A. Respiratory: The initial respiratory course was consistent
with mild RDS/retained lung fluid. She needed CPAP for the 1st
day of life and was quickly weaned to nasal cannula oxygen and
subsequently weaned to room air by day of life 9. At the time
of discharge, she is comfortably breathing in room air with
no respiratory distress.
B. Cardiovascular: Normal. She was noted to have a
soft systolic murmur that was heard intermittently. Of note,
the fetal echocardiogram was normal.
C. Fluid, electrolytes, and nutrition: She was initially
started on intravenous fluids D10W. Feeds were introduced and
gradually advanced so that she was on full feeds by day of
life 4. The volume and calorie of the feed was subsequently
increased to a maximum of 24 calories per ounce feed at 150
mls/kg/day. She has been on full p.o. feeds for at least 72 hours
prior to discharge and is gaining weight. Weight at discharge:
3045 grams.
D. GI: No complications. She had physiological jaundice
exaggerated by prematurity with maximum bilirubin of 10.4.
E. Hematology: She did not need any blood transfusions during
hospital stay.
F. Infectious disease: Baby [**Known lastname 3501**] had no episodes of culture
proven sepsis. She received IV antibiotics for the 1st 48
hours of life for sepsis rule out.
G. Neurology: She exhibited normal neurology with no concerns.
H. Orthopedic: She was noted to have prenatally diagnosed
congenital talipes. She underwent weekly cast change for her
talipes. She will be followed up by the Ortho team as outpatient.
I. Sensory/audiology: Hearing screening was performed with
automated auditory brainstem responses. Results: Passed.
Ophthalmology: Not examined.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to the [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 1675**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 23773**]r on [**2176-2-2**] for further management of his chest pain. He
ruled out for a myocardial infarction by enzymes. The cardiology
service was consulted and recommended a cardiac catheterization.
Overnight. he had some vague chest discomfort without EKG
changes and heparin was started. On [**2176-2-5**], a cardiac
catheterization was performed which revealed an 80% stenosed
left main coronary artery, an 80% stenosed left anterior
descending artery, an 80% stenosed first diagonal artery, an
occluded right coronary artery and an ejection fraction of 60%.
Due to the severity of his disease, the cardiac surgical service
was consulted. Mr. [**Known lastname **] was worked-up in the usual
preoperative manner and found to be a suitable candidate for
surgery. Ativan was used as need for anxiety. On [**2176-2-8**], Mr.
[**Known lastname **] was taken to the operating room where he underwent
coronary artery bypass grafting to four vessels. Postoperatively
he was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for
monitoring. On postoperative day one, Mr. [**Known lastname **] [**Last Name (Titles) 5058**]
neurologically intact and was extubated. He was then transferred
to the cardiac surgical step down unit for continued recovery.
Mr. [**Last Name (Titles) **] was gently diuresed towards his preoperative
weight. Beta blockade and aspirin were resumed. His chest tubes
and epicardial pacing wires were reomved per protocol. The
physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with his
postoperative strength and mobility. Mr. [**Last Name (Titles) **] continued to
make steady progress and was discharge dto his home on
postoperative day five. He will follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], his
cardiologist and his primary care physician as an outpatient.

History of Present Illness:
[**Age over 90 **] yo F with h/o HTN, rheumatoid arthritis and gallstones (but
no cholecystitis) presents with 1 day history of chest pain.
Was in her USOH when yesterday afternoon ([**7-10**]) she began having
a "choking sensation"-like pain in her chest. This progressed
to include sharp pains up and down her left arm. Later in the
afternoon, she began to have a "burning" sensation from her
epigastrium up into her mouth/jaw. Pain was worse with lying
down, associated with some dizziness and diaphoresis, but no
shortness of breath, nausea, or palpitations. Also noticed
yesterday that her urine was darker than normal, but stool was
still normal color. Pain continued to get worse until she told
her sister at 2 AM "I feel like I'm having a heart attack", so
her sister rushed her to the [**Name (NI) **]. She had never had a pain like
this before, no history of reflux disease. At baseline walks
around her house and occasionally outside with a cane, but only
goes short distances because of gait instability.
In the ED, initial vitals: 97.6, 88, 118/58, 18, 100%. ECG
notable for SR @ 89 with ?ST-elevations and hyperacute T waves
in anterolateral leads with Q waves that are new compared to
last prior ECG in [**2107**]. Troponin was 0.04, MB (added on later)
was 5, hct was decreased to 29 from previous baseline 35.
Guaiac negative. LFTs revealed bili 4.4 (4.1 indirect), so RUQ
obtained and showed gallstones with no sign of obstruction. CXR
showed no acute abnormalities. Bedside US showed small
pericardial effusion but no evidence of aortic dissection (no
comment on WMAs). She was given aspirin 325, 1 SL NTG, after
which BP dropped to 60s but improved with 200cc bolus. Chest
pain resolved but then came back, responded well to morphine.
Started briefly on heparin gtt but then stopped prior to
admission to the floor.
On arrival to the floor, the patient was feeling comfortable
with no chest pain since receiving morphine in the ED. She
relayed the above story with no difficulty and with excellent
memory and attention to detail.
Shortly after her arrival, she began to have chest pain again,
same in quality as her previous chest pain. Also complained of
feeling very very weak.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS:
On review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke,
TIA, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the
time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black
stools or red stools. She denies recent fevers, chills or
rigors. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the
other review of systems were negative.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for:
+ chest pain, syncope and presyncope (most recently last week)

COMMENTS:
1. Selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system
demonstrated single vessel coronary artery disease. The LMCA
had distal
tapering into a 90% lesion at the origin of the LAD. The LAD
was
otherwise free of angiographically significant coronary artery
disease.
The LCX was free of angiographically apparant coronary artery
disease.
The RCA had an ostial 30% lesion and a 60% distal lesion.
2. Limited resting hemodynamics revealed normal systemic
arterial blood
pressure with a central aortic blood pressure of 109/49 mmHg.
3. Successful PTCA and stenting of distal LMCA into LAD origin
with
3.0x18mm Integrity bare metal stent with proximal stent segment
postdilated to 4.0mm. LCx jailed, however only minimal pinching
of
origin with TIMI 3 flow.
4. Successful closure of right femoral arteritomy with 6F
angioseal.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Single vessel coronary artery disease of the LAD.
2. Normal systemic arterial blood pressure.
3. Successful distal LMCA-LAD PCI with BMS
4. Successful RFA angioseal.
[**2110-7-11**] TTE:
There is mild (non-obstructive) focal hypertrophy of the basal
septum. There is severe regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with anterior, septal and apical akinesis. The
remaining segments contract normally (LVEF = 25-30%). The right
ventricular cavity is unusually small. The aortic valve leaflets
are mildly thickened (?#). No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is moderate
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a moderate
sized pericardial effusion. There is right ventricular diastolic
collapse, consistent with impaired fillling/tamponade
physiology.
IMPRESSION: Moderate pericardial effusion with evidence of early
tamponade physiology
[**2110-7-12**] TTE:
There is a small to moderate sized pericardial effusion. There
is right ventricular diastolic collapse, consistent with
impaired fillling/tamponade physiology. Compared with the
findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2110-7-11**]
pericardial effusion is slightly larger.
[**2110-7-12**] Cardiac cath:
COMMENTS:
1. Selective coronary angiography of the left coronary artery
demonstrated a patent distal LMCA/proximal LAD stent. There was
no
contrast extravasation.
2. Right heart catheterization initially revealed low-normal
right sided
and minimally elevated left sided filling pressures. The mean
RA was
low-normal at 5 mmHg, and the RVEDP was low-normal at 6 mmHg.
The
pulmonary arterial pressure was normal at 30/12 mmHg with a mean
PA
pressure of 18 mmHg. The mean wedge was minimally elevated at
12 mmHg
with prominant x and y descents.
3. The cardiac output and index were normal at 5.5 L/min and 3.5
L/min/m2.
4. Systemic vascular resistance was normal at 814 dyne-sec/cm5,
and
pulmonary vascular resistance was normal at 86 dyne-sec/cm5.
5. There was a 9% step up in oxygen saturation between the RA
and PA,
but a significant amount of time had ellapsed between these two
measurements, and in the interim the patient's respiratory
status was
not stable.
6. Additional resting hemodynamics revealed a low-normal
systemic
arterial bloood pressure with a central aortic blood pressure of
96/40
mmHg.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Patent LMCA/LAD stent with no signs of coronary artery
perforation or
contrast extravasation.
2. Low pressure cardiac tamponade.
[**2110-7-12**] TTE:
This study is a series of images during pericardiocentesis.
Initial images demonstrate a large pericardial effusion,
significantly expanded since the prior series of images two
hours earlier. The effusion appears echodense, most consistent
with blood. There is right ventricular diastolic collapse,
consistent with impaired fillling/tamponade physiology. After
completion of pericardiocentesis there is a small pericardial
effusion. The effusion is echo dense, consistent with blood,
inflammation or other cellular elements. The effusion appears
loculated. There are no longer echocardiographic signs of
tamponade. Compared with the findings of the prior study,
pericardial effusion has expanded. The final images confirm a
successful pericardiocentesis with echocardiographic evidence of
tamponade resolution.
[**2110-7-12**] TTE:
The left atrium is normal in size. There is mild
(non-obstructive) focal hypertrophy of the basal septum. There
is severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
anterior, septal and apical akinesis. No masses or thrombi are
seen in the left ventricle. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets are
moderately thickened. The study is inadequate to exclude
significant aortic valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial
mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is a very small echodense pericardial
effusion anterior to the right ventricle. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
IMPRESSION: Very small echodense pericardial effusion. Severe
regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2110-7-12**], no
major change.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Name14 (STitle) 109444**] is a [**Age over 90 **] year old female with history of
hypertension (HTN), rheumatoid arthritis and gallstones (but no
cholecystitis) who presented with 1 day history of chest pain
and anemia, thought to be hemolytic. She was found to have a
large STEMI with placement of bare metal stent. Course
complicated by large pericardial effusion and subsequent cardiac
tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis and transfer to the CCU,
as well as hypotension requiring pressors and acute kidney
injury.
ACTIVE ISSUES BY PROBLEM:
# ST elevation myocardial infarction: Shortly after her arrival
to the floor, she began to have chest pain again. ECG showed
evolving/worsening ST-elevations in the anteroseptal leads.
Next cardiac enzymes rose, overall trend: trop 0.04-> 0.35->
1.36 -> 2.13 and MB 5-> 41-> 103. Bedside echo showed anterior
wall hypokinesis with depressed EF of 25% (from 75%) prompting
transfer to the cath lab. Patient had a right femoral artery
approach with mostly single vessel LAD disease with a 90%
proximal ostial LAD lesion, s/p BMS placement. During the cath,
she suffered a brief period of hypotension with systolics in the
high 60's mmHg associated with balloon inflation, otherwise
systolics maintained in the mid 100's mm Hg range. She was
started on full dose aspirin 325mg, atorvastatin 80, and plavix
75mg initially. After developing pericardial effusion (see
below), her aspirin dose was decreased to 162mg to avoid
bleeding complications, and her statin was stopped due to
transaminitis. Unable to tolerate beta blocker or ACEI given
hypotension. She will need to continue aspirin and plavix at
rehab, with possible re-initiation of statin when LFTs normalize
and beta blocker/ACEU when BPs will tolerate. Will follow up
with Dr.[**Name8 (MD) 5103**] NP in clinic on [**2110-8-19**], and she should have
a repeat echo in 1 month to determine if there has been any
recovery in cardiac function with improvement of EF.
# Cardiac tamponade: On the floor post-cath, started to have
episodes of hypotension, with blood pressures dropped from
121/58 to 58/38, after using bedpan for a bowel movement.
Patient's mental status also became more lethargic. Bolused
with 500 cc's NS x 2 with BP up to the 80's. Physical exam
concerning revealed elevated JVP and crackles on exam. She was
urgently transferred to the CCU (see CCU course above), where
she was started on dopamine. STAT bedside echo revealed large
pericardial effusion causing early tamponade. She was sent
urgently back to the cath lab, where 600 cc of frank blood was
drained from the pericardium, complicated by a small puncture of
the right ventricle. She briefly lost her pulse during the
procedure, but she had ROSC with 1 amp epinephrine (no CPR). She
had signficant bleeding so she was given a total of 4units PRBC.
She had some reaccumulation of pericardial fluid, so drain was
placed. The drain output was low over the next day, so this was
pulled the following day with no evidence of fluid
reaccumulation. Cause of her tamponade is not entirely clear--
no dye extravasation seen from coronary arteries on repeat cath
during pericardiocentesis, however she may have had a small
puncture that then clotted off.
# Acute kidney injury: She was noted to be oliguric on [**7-13**] and
her urine sediment showed muddy brown casts consistent with ATN
from the setting of hypotension. Baseline creatinine 0.6-0.8,
rose to maximum of 1.7. She was given 60mg iV lasix and diuresed
well and has return to normal urine output. Creatinine
downtrended to 1.0 on discharge. She should have her BUN/Cr
checked at next PCP visit to ensure full return to baseline.
# Anemia: no recent baseline, but hct was in 36-39 range in
11/[**2109**]. Has noted darkened urine in the past day and has
evidence of hemolysis on labs-- indirect bilirubinemia, elevated
LDH, low haptoglobin, high retic. No history of bleeding (no
blood in stool), guaiac negative in the ED. No new meds that may
have provoked G6PD deficiency related hemolysis, no exposures
suggestive of infectious cause. No known liver disease, no
hypersplenism on exam, no known hemoglobinopathy. Received 4
units packed RBCs due to bleeding post-pericardiocentesis (see
above) with improvement of hct to 30-36 range. Her hematocrit
then remained stable with no signs of hemolysis. Hct 34 on
discharge. Should have hct rechecked at next visit with PCP to
ensure it has remained stable.
# Ischemic cardiomyopathy: EF now 25% following anterior STEMI.
Appeared well-compensated without signs of congestive heart
failure during admission. On aspirin 162mg, however not on
b-blocker or ACEI due to low BPs and no statin due to
transaminitis. Should have a repeat echo as an outpatient in 1
month to see if she has any improvement in systolic function.
# Transaminitis: AST 100s, ALT 200s, tBili initially high from
hemolysis but trended down to normal, alk phos normal. Etiology
likely due to ischemic injury to the liver during hypotensive
episodes plus some degree of passive congestive from heart
failure. Atorvastatin was stopped, but could consider
restarting in the future once LFTs have normalized.
# Hyponatremia: Chronic ongoing hyponatremia, stable this
admission.
# Hyperbilirubinemia: Seems more likely related to hemolysis
(see above) than from hepatobiliary dysfunction. RUQ US normal
other than cholelithiases (non-obstructing), LFTs normal.
# Hypertension: Was taking diltiazem and lisinopril at home.
Due to hypotension, home medications were held. Could consider
starting beta clocker and ACEI one hypotension has resolved
# Rheumatoid arthritis: given tylenol PRN
TRANSITION OF CARE ISSUES:
- STEMI: s/p BMS to LAD ostium, now on aspirin 162mg and plavix
75mg. Will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 171**] and his NP [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] on [**2110-8-19**] for follow up. She should have a repeat
echo at that time to see if EF has improved. Should start
metoprolol and ACEI/[**Last Name (un) **] once blood pressure allows and restart
statin once LFTs have normalized
- [**Last Name (un) **]: should have BUN/Cr checked at next PCP visit to ensure
renal function has remained normal
- Transaminitis: should recheck LFTs at next PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) **]. If
normalized, consider restarting low dose atorvastatin.
- Anemia: due to hemolysis (cause unknown) and acute blood loss,
should have hct checked at next PCP follow up
- FULL CODE (was DNR/DNI while in the CCU, however now wants "to
live a little longer")

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 90256**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 **].
You were admitted to the hospital due to chest pain, and we
found that you had a large heart attack. You were taken for a
procedure called cardiac catheterization, where a large blockage
in your coronary artery was found and opened with a stent.
After the procedure you developed fluid around your heart that
needed to be drained, and you were sent to the intensive care
unit for close monitoring. Slowly but surely, you got better,
but we feel you should go to rehab to help get your strength
back before you go home.
Changes to your medications:
START aspirin 162mg daily
START plavix 75 mg daily
STOP diltiazem temporarily, until your blood pressure and kidney
function improves
STOP lisinopril, temporarily, until your blood pressure and
kidney function improves
Weigh yourself every morning, [**Name8 (MD) 138**] MD if weight goes up more
than 3 lbs.

Brief Hospital Course:
Sepsis from left lower lobe pneumonia: treated with multiple
antibiotics initially, but ultimately to complete a course of
ceftriaxone and vancomycin. Leukocytosis initially improved, but
recently has been trending up. Note patient has a history of CLL
with persistent hx of leukocytosis, making WBC questionable as a
marker for infection. Blood cultures negative, rapid resp viral
screen negative, urine legionella antigen is negative. She
received vancomycin and ceftriaxone for a total ten day course.
Patient had a speech and swallow evaluation performed initially,
which she failed, and was reattempted several days later, and
again failed. After discussion with the family, decision was
made not to place a PEG tube and she was permitted to eat for
comfort.
.
Altered mental status: combination of sepsis and hypernatremia
on baseline dementia. LFTs and TSH wnl, tox screens negative.
Sedating medications held at admission Mental status improved
quickly with correction of her multiple medical issues.
- patient on D5W for mild hypernatremia and sl increased Cr.
.
Acute renal failure: peak at 2.9 at admission. Most likely
pre-renal etiology given concurrent hypernatremia, story and
exam. Urine eosinophils negative, renal ultrasound without
obstruction. Lasix held at admission, and then restarted. Her
creatinine improved with rehydration, now slightly increased to
1.3 from 1.1. Getting addt'l D5W today.
.
Hypernatremia: due to poor po intake and ongoing lasix prior to
admission. Patient clinically dry on exam at admission. Treated
with D5W with improvement in values, and sodium normalized at
time of discharge. Getting addt'l D5W today.
.
Melena: She was also noted to have several episodes of melena.
She received 1u pRBC, and remained hemodynamically stable.
.
Code: DNR/DNI, copy of form in chart. Confirmed with family that
despite failing speech and swalloe evaluation, patient should be
allowed to continue to eat for comfort.

[**10-5**] to [**10-7**] for shortened cervix. At that
time she was treated with betamethasone and discharge to home
on Terbutaline. She was readmitted on [**10-26**] through
[**11-5**] for decreased fetal movement of this twin with
noted spontaneous decelerations to the 90s. She was admitted
again on the day of delivery for uterine contractions and
cervical dilatation. Growth restriction (6th percentile) of
this twin now appreciated. Twin B is in the 19th percentile.
Mom underwent a cesarean section for breech position of Twin
B. This twin emerged with good tone and cry. Apgar scores
were 8 at one minute and 8 at five minutes. He received bulb
suctioning and Blow-by oxygen in the Delivery Room and was
admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for monitoring of
prematurity.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs on admission revealed
temperature 95.2 rectally. Heartrate is 140. Blood pressure
is 65/41 with a mean arterial pressure of 53. Respiratory
rate is 62 and dextrose stick of 49. Weight 1470 gm, (7th
percentile), length 40 cm (10th percentile) and head
circumference 30.5 cm (25th percentile). Examination was
remarkable for a pink preterm infant in no distress. Normal
facies. Soft anterior fontanelle, intact palate, no
grunting, flaring or retracting. Clear breathsounds
bilaterally. Grade I to II/VI systolic murmur at the left
lower sternal border. Femoral pulses flat, soft, nontender
abdomen without hepatosplenomegaly. Normal phallus, testes
and scrotum, stable hips. Normal perfusion, normal tone and
activity for gestational age.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE:
Respiratory - This infant has been in room air for his entire
hospital course. He has not required any respiratory
support. He has not had any episodes of apnea of prematurity
and has not required methylxanthines.
Cardiovascular - His blood pressure has been stable
throughout his hospital course. He has not required any
fluid boluses or pressors for blood pressure support. His
latest exam reveals no murmur.
Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - Intravenous fluids of
D10/W were initiated upon admission to the Newborn Intensive
Care Unit at 80 cc/kg/day. Enteral feeds were initiated on
day of life #2 of PE 20 at 20 cc/kg. He advanced without
difficulty to 120 cc/kg. The plan is to continue advancement
at 15 cc/kg [**Hospital1 **] to a goal TF of 150 cc/k/day.
Electrolytes have been within normal limits throughout his
hospitalization. Last electrolytes on [**11-27**] were sodium
143, potassium 6.3, (hemolyzed), chloride 110 and total
carbon dioxide of 21. His weight at the time of transfer is
1465.
Gastrointestinal - Peak bilirubin on day of life #4 was a
total bilirubin of 5.3 with a direct bilirubin of .4. No
phototherapy has been initiated at this time.
Hematology - No transfusions have been given throughout his
hospital stay. Hematocrit on admission was 52.
Infectious disease - A complete blood count with differential
and blood cultures were drawn upon admission to the Newborn
Intensive Care Unit. White blood cell count was 7,000,
hematocrit 52, platelet count 252,000 with 27% polys and 0%
bands. Blood culture was negative. He received a 48 hour
course of Ampicillin and gentamicin.
Neurology - A head ultrasound was not indicated for this 34
[**12-24**] weeker.
Sensory - Hearing screen has not yet been performed.
Ophthalmology exam not indicated.

HOSPITAL COURSE: Respiratory - Infant was orally intubated
on arrival to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for
respiratory distress. Initial ventilator settings of IMV
rate of 26, positive inspiratory pressure 22, positive
end-expiratory pressure 6. The infant received two doses of
Surfactant. Infant weaned on the ventilator settings and was
extubated on day of life 2 to CPAP of 5 and was transitioned
to nasal cannula by day of life #3 and has been in room air
since day of life #4. Infant was started on caffeine, day of
life #2 and continues on caffeine at this time. The infant
has had approximately 1 to 2 bradycardiac spells of
prematurity a day.
Cardiovascular - Infant has remained hemodynamically stable
this hospitalization. Heartrate 120 to 140. On day of life
#7 the infant was noted to have a new onset murmur at that
time four extremity blood pressures were obtained which were

showed a total bilirubin of 6.1, 0.3.
Hematology - The patient did not receive any blood
transfusions this hospitalization. Most recent hematocrit on
day of delivery was 46%.
Infectious disease - Due to elevated maternal white blood
cell count and prolonged premature rupture of membranes, the
infant received 7 days of Ampicillin and Gentamicin which
were discontinued on [**7-28**]. The complete blood count on
admission showed a white blood cell count of 8.2, hematocrit
46%, platelets 323,000, 28 neutrophils, 14 bands, 14
enucleated red blood cells. Lumbar puncture on day of life

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 7881**]
Chief Complaint:
Right sided chest pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Cardiac catheterization with drug eluting stent placement.
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 77 year old female with a history of CAD s/p
CABG, insulin dependent diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia
and achalasia who presents with an episode of right sided chest
pain. The patient reports that over the past week she has been
experiencing upper respiratory type symptoms including
rhinorrhea, sore throat and mild cough. Her daughter had
similar symptoms. She was prescribed azithromycin for a five
day course over the phone but did not see a doctor or have a
chest xray. She is currently on her last day of antibiotics and
says that these original symptoms have resolved. She now
presents with an episode of right sided chest pain. She
describes the pain as sharp and well localized beneath her right
breast. It is worsened with deep inspiration. It was not
improved by SL nitroglycerine. It does not feel like her
typical anginal pain which occurs consistently with exertion and
which she describes a pressure across her chest associated with
shortness of breath. She says that this new pain is very
similar to that which she had on the left side two months ago
when she was diagnosed with a left sided pneumonia at [**Hospital1 1774**].
The patient recently presented to her outpatient cardiologist
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] with worsening anginal symptoms. She says that she
experienced angina prior to her CABG seven years ago. She did
not experience any symptoms until approximatley two months ago
when she started experiencing her anginal symptoms with
increasing frequency and severity. She now experiences chest
pain and dyspnea with minimal exertion. She was scheduled for
elective cardiac catheterization to occur [**2162-1-6**].
.
In the emergency room her vitals were T: 97.8, HR 54, BP:
124/44, RR: 18, O2: 93% on RA. She received aspirin 81 mg,
sublingual nitroglycerin, a second 325 mg aspirin,
n-acetylcystein 600 mg PO x 1 and was started on a heparin and
nitroglycerin drips. She has a CXR which appears to have
evidence of congestion but no clear infiltrates. She had an EKG
which showed normal sinus rhythm, normal axis and a LBBB. Per
the patient's daughter the left bundle branch block is old
although this is not documented in our system. She had cardiac
enzymes which were positive at Troponin 0.72. She was found to
have a creatinine of 1.9 which is up from her last recorded
value in [**Month (only) 116**] of this year of 1.2. She had an elevated D-dimer
at 4040. She did not receive a PE-CT scan given her elevated
creatinine.
.
On review of systems she currently denies lightheadedness,
dizziness, fevers, chills, shortness of breath, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, dysuria,
hematuria, decreased urine output, leg pain or swelling. She
does have chronic back and joint pain. She has neuropathy in
her arms which is chronic. She has right sided chest pain as
described above. She does not have any left sided chest
pressure at current.

EKG: Normal sinus rhythm, rate of 53, normal axis, LBBB.
.
Imaging:
CXR PA and Lateral [**2162-1-2**]:
Cardiac silhouette is enlarged. Median sternotomy wires are
seen. There is again seen areas of focal consolidation within
the right upper lobe, right perihilar region, and left lower
lobe. These findings are more apparent than the prior study and
suspicious for infectious/inflammatory etiology.
.
Renal Ultrasound:
The right kidney measures 12.9 cm. The left kidney measures 11.6
cm. There is no evidence of hydronephrosis, stones or masses.
Note is made of a questionable duplex left kidney as noted by a
possible column of cortex extending across the mid-to-upper
pole. The urinary bladder is not visualized and likely empty.
.
BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY VENOUS ULTRASOUND: Grayscale and
Doppler son[**Name (NI) 1417**] of the right and left common femoral,
superficial, and popliteal veins were performed. Normal
compressibility, augmentation, flow and waveforms were
demonstrated. There is no evidence of intraluminal thrombus.
.
CTA OF THE CHEST: There is no evidence of pulmonary embolism or
aortic dissection. The bronchi are patent to the subsegmental
level, though there is significant tracheomalacia. In the
tracheo-esophageal space, there is soft tissue thickening,
likely lymphadenopathy. There are multiple areas of
consolidation throughout all lobes of the lungs, predominantly
in the superior portion of the left lower lobe and apical
portion of the right upper lobe. Smaller foci of consolidation
are seen within the right middle lobe and lingula. There is a
moderate-sized right pleural effusion, layering dependently,
measuring simple fluid density. There is also a smaller left-
sided pleural effusion layering dependently and extending into
the major fissure, also measuring simple fluid density. A
punctate calcification is noted at the left lung base, likely a
granuloma.
A prominent prevascular lymph node is noted anterior to the
aortic arch measuring 9 mm in short axis. There are other small
mediastinal lymph nodes including a 7-mm left prevascular lymph
node, 6-mm precarinal lymph node, and a prominent subcarinal
lymph node which is not easily distinguished from the esophagus.
Probable hiatal hernia, incompletely visualized, is noted. There
are dense calcifications within the native coronary arteries,
particularly the LAD and its branches. Aortic valve
calcifications are noted. There is no pericardial effusion. The
heart is moderately enlarged. Median sternotomy wires and CABG
clips are noted.
This examination is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic
assessment. Limited views of the upper abdomen are unremarkable.
There are no bone findings of malignancy. Multilevel
degenerative changes are noted throughout the thoracic spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.
2. Multifocal pneumonia, predominantly in the right upper and
left lower lobes.
3. Moderate right and small left pleural effusions, likely
reactive to the pneumonic process.
4. Significant tracheomalacia with probable lymphadenopathy
posterior to the trachea.
.
Echocardiogram:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 10-20mmHg. There is mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic
function (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free
wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets are moderately
thickened. There is moderate aortic valve stenosis (area
1.2cm2). Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets and supporting structures are mildly thickened.
At least mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. [Due to
acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral regurgitation may be
significantly UNDERestimated.] The tricuspid valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity
is increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2160-12-24**], regional and global left ventricular
systolic function appears preserved on the current study. The
severity of aortic stenosis is increased and moderate pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension is now present. Is there a history
to suggest a primary pulmonary process (e.g., pulmonary
embolism, bronchospasm, COPD exacerbation, etc.?).
.
Cardiac Cathterization:
1. Coronary angiography in this right-dominant system revealed
native
three-vessel disease.
--the LMCA had diffuse disease, with greatest stenosis being
90%.
--the LAD was occluded after a large Diag; the Diag itself had a
70%
stenosis.
--the LCx had an 80% proximal stenosis. OM1 was occluded, OM2
was
patent filling OM1 via jump segment of graft.
--the RCA was occluded proximally.
2. Arterial conduit angiography revealed the LIMA to be widely
patent.
The SVG graft to the LCX territory was occluded; this graft
appeared to
be an SVG-to-OM1-OM2 jump graft (rather than to Ramus as
reported
previously). The SVG-to-Diag was occluded. The SVG-to-LPDA was
occluded.
3. Resting hemodynamics revealed elevated right-sided filling
pressures, with RVEDP 29 mmHg. The PCWP was elevated at 33
mmHg. PA
pressures were elevated, with PASP 68 mmHg.
4. Successful ptca and stenting of the LCx with a 3.0x28mm
cypher stent post dilated to 3.25mm. Successful ptca and
stenting of the
LM overlapping the Lcx stent with a 3.0x18mm cypher which was
postdilated to 3.25mm. Final angiography revealed 0% residual
stenosis,
no angiographically apparent dissection and TIMI3 flow (see ptca
comments).
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Native three-vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Occluded vein grafts, patent LIMA-LAD
5. Continue aspirin/plavix, statin
6. Plan diuresis, weaning ventilatory support
7. Serial ECGs and biomarkers
8. CXR to check ETT placement and r/o PTX as well as assess for
infiltrate given extubation episode with emesis.
9. BP control
10. Renal u/s with doppler
Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment/Plan: 77 year old female with a history of CAD s/p
CABG, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and achalasia who
originally admitted with NSTEMI and pneumonia who developed
acute respiratory distress likely secondary to flash pulmonary
edema requiring emergent intubation. She was taken to emergent
cardiac catheterization where she underwent DES to the left main
and LCx. She was extubated [**2162-1-7**] and is now transferred out
to the floor.
.
Coronary Artery Disease: On presentation the patient endorsed
crescendo anginal type symptoms. On admission she was found to
have elevated troponins consistent with an NSTEMI. She was
continued on plavix and started on a heparin drip. Given that
she presented in acute renal failure with evidence of a new
pneumonia urgent catheterization was deferred at that time. In
the afternoon of [**2162-1-4**] the patient suffered an episode of
flash pulmonary edema requiring emergent intubation. There was
initial concern that she was experience an acute coronary
syndrome at that time. The patient has a baseline EKG with
LBBB. She underwent emergent catheterization which revealed
occluded vein grafts with the exception of the LIMA-LAD. She
had two cypher stents placed to the left main and the left
circumflex. She was transferred to the CCU for a brief period
of time for aggressive diuresis and was transferred back to the
general cardiology service. Her cardiac enzymes did not
increase following this acute event. Following her
catheterization she did not experience any further episodes of
chest pain. She ambulated with physical therapy. She was
continued on her outpatient cardiac regimen including aspirin
and plavix. Given that the patient showed signs of congestive
failure her atenolol was switched to carvedilol. She tolerated
only 12.5 mg [**Hospital1 **] secondary to bradycardia. She was also
discharged on her home dose of Tricor as she has been intolerant
in the past to even low doses of statins. She will follow up
with her cardiologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 8906**].
.
Acute on Chronic Diastolic CHF: The patient underwent repeat
echocardiogram on [**2162-1-4**] which showed mildly dilated [**Last Name (LF) **], [**First Name3 (LF) **]
>55%, mild symmetric LVH, moderately thickened AV, moderate AS
([**Location (un) 109**] 1.2cm), 1+ AR, 1+ MR, mod PA systolic HTN and preserved
global LV systolic function. In the afternoon of [**2162-1-4**] the
patient had an episode of acute respiratory distress requiring
intubation. It was thought that this was most likely secondary
to flash pulmonary edema in the setting of a receiving a high
osmotic fluid load during CTA. She was aggressively diuresed
while in the CCU with IV lasix. On transfer to the floor she
appeared euvolemic. She was discharged on lasix 20 mg daily.
She was continued on her home dose of lisinopril 30 mg daily.
She was switched from atenolol to carvedilol for her heart
failure. She will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 8906**] for her heart failure
and her primary care physician for [**Name Initial (PRE) **] repeat creatinine and
potassium check.
.
Rate/Rhythm: During this hospitalization the patient's heart
rate was noted on telemetry to be primarily in the 50s to 60s.
With increased doses of beta blocker she had more profound
episodes of bradycardia in the 30s. She also was noted to have
short episodes of NSVT on telemetry. These were reduced in
frequency with the addition of carvedilol.
.
Pneumonia: On admission the patient was noted to have a
multifocal pneumonia on CXR. Initially there was concern for
pulmonary embolism given that she presented with pleuritic chest
pain with an elevated D-dimer. She had bilateral lower
extremity ultrasounds which were negative and a CTA showed clear
evidence of diffuse infiltrates. She completed a ten day course
of ceftriaxone with improvement in her pain as well as her
respiratory status. On discharge she was oxygenating well on
room air.
.
Hypertension: The patient was noted to have fluctuating blood
pressures during this admission. Given that her renal function
was tenuous her lisinopril was held on two different occasions
with significant increase in her blood pressure. As noted above
her atenolol was changed to carvedilol. She was discharged on
amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, carvedilol and lisinopril will
good control of her blood pressure.
.
Acute Renal Failure: On admission the patient's creatinine was
1.9 from a baseline of 1.0. Her FeNa was 0.6% consistent with a
prerenal etiology. She had bilateral renal ultrasounds which
were negative for hydronephrosis. Her renal function quickly
improved with gentle fluid hydration. On discharge her renal
function was at her baseline.
.
Respiratory Failure: As above the patient required emergent
intubation for respiratory distress likely secondary to flash
pulmonary edema. She was aggressively diuresed and was
intubated successfully on [**2162-1-7**]. On discharge she was
satting well on room air and was ambulating without shortness of
breath.
.
Anemia: On admission the patient was noted to have an hematocrit
of 30.2. Her last recorded value was 38. Iron function studies
were consistent with anemia of inflammation. B12 and folate
were normal. Her hematocrit was stable throughout this
admission. She did not require transfusion. She should follow
up with her primary care physician for this issue.
.
Urinary Tract Infection: On [**2162-1-9**] the patient was noted to
have a positive UA and a WBC count of 14. She was afebrile but
given that she had an indwelling foley catheter at that time
there was concern that she had developed a UTI. She was
discharged with plans to complete a 7 day course of
ciprofloxacin.
.
Diabetes: Stable during this admission. She was maintained on
NPH and an insulin sliding scale during this admission. She was
discharged on her outpatient regimen.
.
Hypothyroidism: Stable. She was continued on her home dose of
synthroid 200 mcg daily. Thyroid function tests were notable
for a TSH of 0.26 with a T4 of 1.4. Given that these were
performed during an acute illness they should be repeated as an
outpatient.
.
Arthritis/Neuropathy: Stable. She was continued on neurontin at
decreased doses given her presentation with acute renal failure.
She was discharged on her outpatient regimen of neurontin 900
mg TID with standing tylenol.
.
Depression: Stable. She was continued on her outpatient regimen
of zoloft and ativan.
.
Asthma: Stable. She was continued on her outpatient ipratropium
with albuterol as needed for increased wheezing.
.
GERD: Stable. She was continued on protonix and ranitidine.
.
Prophylaxis: She received both IV heparin and subcutaneous
heparin during this admission for DVT prophylaxis.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Abdominal pain.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: He is a 49-year-old male with a
history of cirrhosis from ethanol abuse and chronic hepatitis
C, portal hypertension with history of variceal bleeds and
multiple admissions for ascites, who was actually recently
admitted from [**6-20**] to the 13th for clinical trial, where
he received an infusion of methylene blue, and was seen in
Liver Clinic on [**7-20**], where large volume paracentesis of
5 liters was performed which revealed no SBP.
The patient now presents with increasing abdominal girth,
abdominal pain, and nausea and vomiting x1 day. He said he
felt better for about two days following the large volume
paracentesis, but his ascites returned. He denied any blood
or coffee grounds in his vomitus. He had normal color bowel
movements. No bright red blood per rectum or melena. No
pale stools. He is taking his lactulose with 2-3 bowel
movements per day. No confusion, sleeping at night okay. He
denies any fever or chills. The patient states he has gained
approximately 12 pounds in the past three days. He says he
has been compliant with all of his medications. He says he
is also compliant with a low salt diet. The patient did note
some shortness of breath and difficulty taking large breaths.
He states that his fingersticks have been well controlled.

SOCIAL HISTORY: He has not consumed alcohol for the past 1.5
years. He denies any tobacco or IV drug use. He is single
with seven children and lives alone in an apartment.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Pertinent findings: He was afebrile.
His blood pressure was 108/68 with a pulse of 95. He was
sating at 100% on room air. He was a middle-age man
appearing somewhat uncomfortable, but in no acute distress,
no jaundice. Pertinent findings on exam: His sclerae were
icteric. He had dry mucous membranes. His neck was supple
with no JVD or adenopathy. Heart was regular, rate, and
rhythm with no murmurs. His lungs are clear. His abdominal
exam: His belly was distended and tense with positive bowel
sounds. He had mild epigastric tenderness with no guarding
or rebound. He did have some mild right lower quadrant
tenderness as well. There was caput medusa, but no spider
angiomata. He had 2+ lower extremity pitting edema without
clubbing. He did also have some palmar erythema.
Neurological examination: He had mild tremor, but no
flapping. He was alert and oriented times three.
PERTINENT LABORATORY DATA: His Chem-7 was essentially
unremarkable. His ALT was 28, AST 42, alkaline phosphatase
119, amylase 115, and T bilirubin 1.7. His albumin was 3.0.
He had a white count of 12.8, hematocrit 31.2, platelets of
128. He had an INR of 1.6. An aFP was 8.1.
ASSESSMENT: Patient was a 49-year-old male with history of
cirrhosis from ethanol abuse and chronic HCV, portal
hypertension with a history of esophageal varices,
hemorrhoids and recurrent ascites, who recently had a large
volume paracentesis performed three days prior to admission,
who now presents with increasing abdominal girth, belly pain,
and weight gain from ascites.
On [**7-24**], the patient had another large volume
paracentesis with 5 liters of fluid removed. He was also
considered for possible TIPS placement as well. Before the
TIPS procedure, he had an abdominal ultrasound to assess
portal patency. The findings on the ultrasound essentially
showed that there were no focal liver lesions, and the liver
had a cirrhotic appearance. The left middle and right portal
vein and the extrahepatic portal vein had normal flow. The
hepatic veins also had normal flow. There was a large amount
of abdominal ascites noted.
On the [**7-28**], the patient did have a TIPS procedure,
and was transferred to the MICU for closer observation. His
preoperative hematocrit before the procedure was 25.4, but
his hematocrit status post procedure was 21. Patient was
felt to be at high risk for bleeding given his coagulopathy.
His INR on the day of the procedure is 1.8. Of note, the
patient's hematocrit on admission was 31.2. The patient did
receive 2 units of packed red cells after the procedure. At
the time of his admission to the MICU, he had no complaints.
He denied chest pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain,
nausea, or vomiting.
Patient had a repeat abdominal ultrasound on [**7-29**], which
showed patency of the TIPS. On [**7-30**], patient was
complaining of right back pain as well as epigastric and
right upper quadrant pain. A CT scan obtained showed a 6 mm
pseudoaneurysm in the posterior right hepatic artery near the
porta hepatis, but there was no contrast extravasation.
Again, there was no focal mass noted. Again the TIPS was in
stable position, however, there was again noted large amount
of ascites throughout the abdomen and pelvis.
Up to this point, the patient continued to receive units of
packed red blood cells as well as FFP as needed for his
anemia and coagulopathy. Also on [**7-30**], the patient
spiked a fever to 101.4, and blood cultures were sent. His
white count rose to 15.1. He was started on levofloxacin to
cover for possible SBP. Patient also started to become
slightly hypotensive, although the patient did have a
baseline low blood pressure.
A paracentesis was also attempted, however, after several
attempts with a 14 gauge thoracentesis kit, 1 cc of brown
feculent material was aspirated. There was concern for
possible bowel perforation. A KUB and chest x-ray were
ordered to assess for free air. No free air was seen on
either of these examinations.
On the day of [**7-31**], the patient had progressive dyspnea
with a chest x-ray showing increasing bilateral infiltrates.
He was placed on supplemental oxygen and IV Lasix was given.
His heart rate was in the 120s with a blood pressure in the
100s. He was also noted to have bilateral crackles 1.5 to
[**3-16**] of the way up, and at this time given the patient's
fever, hypotension, and respiratory status, he was electively
intubated.
Patient on the 20th, had blood cultures which returned
showing gram-positive cocci and the patient was felt to be
septic with gram-positive cocci in his blood, and the origin
of the gram-positive cocci was felt likely to be due to the
initial paracentesis on admission.
His new onset of respiratory failure was thought to be either
due to massive fluid overload from worsening cirrhosis,
possibly high output failure from his TIPS procedure or
possible sepsis/ARDS with his recent blood infection.
Patient became hypotensive ranging from the
60s-100s/40s-780s. He eventually required Neo-Synephrine for
blood pressure support.
Patient also had a Swan-Ganz catheter placed for better
hemodynamic monitoring, and the patient on [**8-1**], again
became increasingly hypotensive and required three pressors
for blood pressure support. It was thought that his
deteriorating status was likely from MRSA bacteremia from a
line infection and in-fact not from his abdomen. Additional
abdominal CT did not show any bowel perforation or leak.
The Swan-Ganz catheter revealed a distributive sepsis with
decreased SVR and increasing cardiac output. He also noted
to have increasing lactate from both sepsis and severe liver
dysfunction. Patient had been during this time started on
Vancomycin, Zosyn, and Flagyl for MRSA bacteremia as well as
broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage. Patient was also noted
on the 21st to have a profound acidosis with a pH of 7.09 and
on [**8-3**], the patient was made comfort measures only. He
was extubated shortly before 3 o'clock in the morning and at
3:06 a.m., the covering intern, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was called to
examine the patient for asystole. His pupils were noted to
be fixed and dilated. He had no pulse and no breath sounds,
and no heart sounds are auscultated after 60 seconds.
He was pronounced dead at 3:06 a.m. on the morning of [**2179-8-3**]. An autopsy was granted by his health care proxy.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Expired.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and
sepsis.
2. Hepatitis C.
3. Cirrhosis.
4. Portal hypertension.
5. Acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The autopsy report designated the following: Pertinent
findings: The patient, in general, was noted to be anisaric,
jaundiced, and had scleral icterus. The heart weighed 440
grams and had cardiomegaly. There was opaque fibrous plaques
on the anterior and posterior epicardium as well as 20 mL of
straw colored pericardial fluid. The area that was noted to
have mild-to-moderate atherosclerosis. The lungs: There was
100 mL of straw colored pleural effusion bilaterally. There
are pleural adhesions to the thoracic wall and diaphragm.
The digestive system: There are 3 liters of peritoneal
fluid. In the esophagus, there were esophageal varices, but
no recent hemorrhage. In the large bowel, there was no
evidence of perforation. The liver showed cirrhosis.

Chief Complaint:
bloody emesis and BRBPR
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
EGD on [**2159-10-16**] and [**2159-10-20**]
History of Present Illness:
Pt is a 59yo M with bright red bloody emesis and BRBPR. The pt
is s/p variceal banding on [**10-5**] with 5 bands for an acute
variceal bleed with BRBPR and epigastric pain. At that time the
pt was noted to have a hematocrit of 31.1, and he was observed
at [**Hospital3 **] until [**10-15**]. Subsequently the pt did well and
was advanced to PO solids, and he was planned to be discharged
today, but then had "black" diarrhea all day and was vomiting
"dark brown" material x1 around lunch, as well as diaphoresis
and right anterior abdominal wall tenderness, without radiation.
The pt was re-evaluated by the MDs there and they determined
that the pt would be a poor candidate for a repeat EGD, and the
pt was transferred here to [**Hospital1 18**] for evaluation and
presumptively for a TIPS procedure. At [**Hospital1 **] today the pt's
hematocrit continued to fall and he was transfused 4 units of
pRBC, and then transfered here.
.
On arrival to the MICU the pt was complaining of abdominal pain,
had an SBP of the 90's, HR 120's. Story c/w outside records.

Imaging:
Echo [**2159-10-17**]: The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size.
Left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%).
Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular
filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size
and free wall motion are normal. The aortic root is mildly
dilated at the sinus level. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. The left
ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. There
is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion.

Brief Hospital Course:
59 yo male with history of alcoholic cirrhosis and variceal
bleeding s/p recent banding on [**10-5**], presented with recurrent
variceal bleeding.
.
#. Variceal bleeding: He was initially admitted to the MICU on
[**2159-10-16**] with hypotension and tachycardia believed to be
secondary to a variceal bleed. He was intubated initially for
airway protection prior to EGD. Endoscopy showed 5 cords of
grade III-IV nonbleeding varices in the lower third of the
esophagus, and two post-banding ulcers, with one having stigmata
of recent bleeding, no interventions were performed at that
time. He received 2 units of pRBC. He was transferred to the
floor on [**2159-10-17**]. He was doing well with no additional melena
or hematochezia until [**10-20**] when he developed hematochezia and
had a 7 point HCT drop. He was transferred to the MICU where he
underwent repeat EGD which showed 2 cords of grade 2 varices in
the lower [**1-22**] of the esophages and an oozing ulcer on the
previously banded esophageal varix. He received an additional
2units PRBC. He was monitored on the floor after his octreotide
and PPI drips were stopped and he had no further episodes. He
was not started on a beta-blocker due to concern for worsening
of his reactive airway disease and a history of possible
beta-blocker allergy. His protonix drip was changed to protonix
40mg PO BID. He will follow up with the hepatology departement
in the next 1-2 weeks for likely re-scope. If he rebleeds, then
consideration for a TIPS may be warranted.
.
#Hepatitis- patient developed shock liver in the setting of his
GI bleed with his LFTs increasing into the AST and ALT of 700s
and were downtrending and resolving at the time of discharge.
.
#. Abdominal Pain: Pt's abdominal pain is atypical for a
variceal bleed, which generally are painless. The pt presented
intially to the OSH on [**10-5**] with abdominal pain as well. On the
CT performed then the pt was seen to have a duodenitis. The
clinical relevance of this is not certain. US was performed,
which did not show signficant ascites.
.
# Fever: unclear etiology. SBP was considered, though he did
not have any obvious ascites to tap. Regardless, he was treated
empirically with a course of Ceftriaxone 2g daily with
transition to cipro 500mg [**Hospital1 **] on discharge. He should complete
a total of 10 days of antibiotics to be completed [**2159-10-26**]. He
remained afebrile on discharge with negative cultures to date.
.
# [**Name (NI) **] Pt noted to develop leukopenia with a total
WBC=1.4 on discharge. The origin of this was unclear. It was
thought that this could have been in the setting of his
ceftriaxone course and thus this was changed to cipro as above.
However, he was continuing to nadir on discharge. It is also
possible that his risperidone could have been contributing. We
recommend a follow up CBC within a week after discharge. His
outpatient providers to should address whether to continue his
risperidone.
.
# SOB- patient had several episodes of shortness of breath while
in house. It was likely multifactorial from his known reactive
airway disease, significant anemia in the setting of UGIB,
volume overload, and possible transient hepatopulmonary syndrome
in the setting of his shock liver. He was continued on nebs,
and his diuresis was adjusted to lasix 40mg daily and
spironolactone 50mg daily. On discharge his SOB had markedly
improved.
.
#. IDDM: Pt was maintained on a regimen of lantus 20U QHS and
Humalog SS. Note that his lantus regimen was much less
aggressive in-house than at home. This is likely due to eating
a different diet in-house. Thus, we increased his lantus to 36U
QHS on discharge to account for this, but this is still less
than his home dose. Note that re-uptitration of his insulin may
be warranted if glucose control is not adequate.
.
#. Volume overload: Pt noted to become more volume overloaded
while in house. It appears he is on lasix 40mg daily at home,
but this was held in the setting of his bleeding. We restarted
this along with spironolactone 50mg daily on discharge.
.
#. Schizophrenia: Not an active issue. Continued home
risperidone, though this may be further addressed by outpatient
providers given the possibility of this medication contributing
to his leukopenia
.
#. Hypothyroidism: Not an active issue. Continued home
levothyroxine.
.
#. HL: Not an active issue. Initially held simvastatin [**2-21**]
[**Last Name (LF) 105984**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] be restarted in the future after resolution of
LFTs
.
# Follow-up/Transitional
-CBC should be followed up within the next week to ensure
resolution of leukopenia
-[**Month (only) 116**] consider changing risperidone in setting of leukopenia
-Final blood cultures still pending on discharge
-Whether to restart statin should be addressed as outpatient

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname **],
It was a pleasure taking care of you while you were here at
[**Hospital1 18**].
You were admitted to our hospital from another hospital for
concern that you were having bleeding in your stomach and
esophagus. You had had two bleeds at that hospital. When you
arrived here you were in the intensive care unit (where we
looked inside your esophagus and stomach) to see if there was
bleeding and did not see any, so there was nothing done at that
time. You were then on the regular hospital [**Hospital1 **] floor. We kept
you on some medicines to prevent you from bleeding and watched
you over the next few days. You developed some bright red blood
in your stools and you were transfered to the intensive care
unit to be monitored and had another endoscopy(look inside the
esophagus and stomach) and they saw an ulcer that was bleeding
ontop of one of the varices (blood vessels that had previously
bled). They put a couple of bands on this to stop the bleeding
and gave you a blood transfusion and you were feeling better and
had no more bleeding. You will need to stay on the pantoprazole
twice a day for now, as well as need to have another endoscopy
to have the varices taken care of.
You also had a fever when you arrived to our hospital, and we
are not exactly sure where the infection is coming from. Because
you can get infections with having these type of bleeds we put
you on IV antibiotics at first and then switched this to a pill
antibiotic called bactrim which you will need to finish the
course of when you leave.
Your white blood cell count (indicating body's response to
infection) got very low while you were on the IV antibiotic and
we think this caused it to drop too much. We stopped that
medicine, but this will need to be followed-up by your primary
care doctor to make sure it gets back up into the normal range.
For your diabetes- your blood sugars were well controlled on a
much lower dose of insulin (20U at bedtime) than you receive at
home. So we will ask you to stop your morning dose of Lantus
when you return home. You should have your blood sugars closely
monitored while you are at home, and adjustments can be made
further.
You developed some worsening swelling of your legs during your
stay, most likely due to all of the blood transfusion that we
were giving you. We are adding another medication call
spironolactone to your medication list to help you get more
fluid off of you. It will also be important that you stick to a
low sodium diet.
Transitional Issues:
Pending labs: None
Medications started:
1. Ciprofloxacin 500mg tab by mouth twice a day (to finish
course on [**2159-10-26**])
2. Spironolactone 50mg tab by mouth once a day
3. Pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth twice a day
4. Sulcrafate (for the stomach)
Medications changed:
1. Lantus- please stop MORNING dose of lantus, and continue to
check blood sugars before each meal
Medications stopped:
1. Omeprazole (taking another form of it)
2. Simvastatin (because liver function not back to normal)
3. Ibuprofen- this is an NSAID and these should not be taken
given history of bleeding ulcer on the esophageal varix
Follow-up-
1.You will need to have your varices (blood vessels that are
exposed) in your esophagus, banded again and you will need to
schedule this appointment (see below)
2.Your blood sugars should be monitored closely and medication
changes should be made based on these numbers when you are
eating your home diet
3.Your primary care doctor will need to recheck your liver
function tests and determine if you should be restarted on your
simvastatin if they feel it will be beneficial.
Followup Instructions:
Please discuss with the staff at the facility a follow up
appointment with your PCP when you are ready for discharge.
Liver Clinic follow up-
Unfortunately we were unable to schedule this appointment for
you prior to discharge. You will need to follow-up with Dr.
[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] in the Liver Clinic at [**Hospital1 18**] within 10-14 days, to
have another endoscopy with (banding and obliteration of your
varices).

[**Last Name (STitle) 43078**] at [**Hospital3 90829**] transferred from [**Hospital1 **] for lower
GI bleed. He presented to [**Hospital3 **] on [**2135-7-14**] after
having a bloody bowel movement at home. Colonoscopy was
performed, but they were unable to identify a source of bleeding
due to the amount of blood in his colon. He was hypotensive
during the procedure, but responded to volume resuscitation. He
is on coumadin for afib, and his INR was 3.5 upon admission. He
was given 4 units FFP and may have received vitamin K, though
cannot be confirmed. He was transfused a total of 6u PRBC's but
continued to have BRBPR, and was transferred. At the time of
admission to the SICU, he states he feels well. His last bloody
bm was prior to transfer from [**Hospital3 **]. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was
contact[**Name (NI) **] for transfer, as IR and angio are not available at

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 3646**] was transferred to the TICU on [**2135-7-16**] for management
of his lower GI bleed. He was hemodynamically stable upon
transfer and remained so throughout his ICU stay. He had 3
small bloody bowel movements the evening of [**7-16**] and the early
morning of [**7-17**], as well as a Hct drop from 29.4 to 24.4. He
received 2u PRBC's and his Hct improved to 28.1. He had a
bleeding scan on [**2135-7-17**], which was negative, and he had a normal
bm the morning of [**7-18**].
Neuro: He received intermittent narcotics for pain control. His
mental status remained intact throughout his stay.
CV: He was reportedly hypotensive during his colonoscopy at the
OSH, but remained hemodynamically stable here. He was in NSR and
his Coumadin was not resumed. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 10543**] was notified and he will
follow up with him in a few weeks.
Resp: No issues.
FEN/GI: He was initially NPO with IV fluids while watching for
active bleeding. His electrolytes were monitored and repleted
when necessary. Once his bleeding stopped, he was allowed a
clear liquid diet. GI was consulted and recommended a
colonoscopy which was done on [**2135-7-19**]. There was no active
bleeding noted, simply diverticulosis of the descending and
sigmoid colon. A regular diet was resumed and he tolerated it
well.
GU: His urine output was monitored and remained adequate
throughout his stay.
Heme: He was transferred with a Hct of 29.4, which was after
receiving 6u PRBC at the OSH over 48 hours. He received an
additional 2u at [**Hospital1 18**] for Hct 24.4, after which it stabilized
at 28. On the day of discharge his hematocrit was 29.3.
ID: No issues.
After an uneventful stay he was discharged to home on [**2135-7-19**] and
will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 43078**] his surgeon at [**Hospital1 **].

Chief Complaint:
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Central venous line placement
PICC line placement
History of Present Illness:
61 y/o F hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and anxiety, presents
after referral from [**Hospital1 1474**] for induction chemotherapy for
acute myelogenous leukemia. Pt initially presented to her PCP
for evaluation of persistent fatigue and decreased appetite x
1-2months, and was found to have anemia and abnormal
differential on CBC.
In note from referring oncologist's initial visit with pt,
automated differential from PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 654**] 45.8% monocytes. Pt
underwent a techinically difficult bone marrow biopsy, and
pathology showed hypercellular bone marrow with left-shifted
granulopoiesis and increased blasts, consistent with AML. Flow
cytometry interpretation showed approximately 39% blasts
identified, and there were increased monocytic/myelomonocytic
cells, suggestive of an M4/M5 subtype of AML. Morphologic and
cytogenetic/FISH analysis was pending at time of report. See
below for available details.
.
Of note, over the past several months, pt reports having 2
episodes of the flu, an episode of pneumonia (diagnosed by CXR,
treated with Z-pak with resolution), and UTI (treated with Cipro
with resolution.)
.
On review of systems, pt reports low-grade fevers and chills
following her bone marrow biopsy last week, but none since. She
has pain over the biopsy site on her right hip. Otherwise,
denies any chest, abdominal, joint, muscle, or other pain. She
denies nausea/vomiting. She has occasional diarrhea/constipation
that she associates with her hx of dysfunctional bowel syndrome.
She denies shortness of breath, palpitations, orthopnea, PND.
She reports occasional migraines with visual auras, none at
present. She reports blurry vision recently, that she has seen
an optomeetrist for and was told that she did not need
correction. She denies hemoptysis, melena, or hematochezia. She
endorses fatigue and decreased appetite as mentioned above.
Otherwise, remaining ROS is negative.

Flow Cytometry Report ([**2142-3-21**], paraphrased)
Interpretation: Aspirate smears [**Last Name (un) **] increased cellularity
without particles. Megakaryocytes are identified.
Lymphocytes comprise approximately 8% of gated cells, include 2%
B-cells, 6% T-cells, and <1%NK cells. There are approximately
30%myeloid cells and 22% monocytes. CD38-bright cells (including
plasma cells) are not increased. B-lymphocytes show a
kappa:lambda raatio of 1:1. There is no evidence of a monotypic
B-cell population. T-lymphocytes show no aberrant antigen
expression, and the CD4:CD8 ratio is inverted, at 0.8:1.
Flow abnormalities that support a dysplastic myeloid population
include decreased orthogonal light scatter, decreased CD45
expression, CD11b/CD16 pattern abnormalties, CD13/CD16 pattern
abnormalities, and few myelomonocytic cells, CD34-positive
blasts are increased,comprising 39% of nucleated cells, and they
exhibit the expected immunophenotype for myeloblasts (CD34+,
CD13+, CD33+, CD117+, HLA-DR+, and negative for most other
markers.)
Findings are suggestive of AML, non-M3 type. Presence of
increased monocytic and myelomonocytic cells raises the question
of an M4/M5 subtype.

Chest CT: [**2142-4-19**]
1. Worsening of micro-nodules throughout the lungs in a
tree-in-[**Male First Name (un) 239**]
distribution, suggestive of worsening viral disease.
2. Slightly decreased size of small bilateral pleural effusions.
3. Unchanged stranding surrounding the sigmoid colon, consistent
with
subacute diverticulitis. No abscess.
4. Resolution of previously seen mass-like lesion within the
cecum which
likely represented mixing of fluid and contrast. No definite
mass identified.
Brief Hospital Course:
61 y/o F with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, anxiety, presenting
with new diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia, admitted for
7+3 induction chemotherapy. Hospital course complicated by
fever, neutropenia, and sepsis secondary to fever and
neutropenia (likely etiologies VRE bacteremia,
diverticulitis/typhlitis) and pulmonary nodules noted on Chest
CT.
# AML: Pt is newly diagnosed with AML, possibly M4/M5 subtype
given monocytic predominance on flow cytometry and BM biopsy.
Patient underwent 7 + 3 induction chemotherapy (7 days ara-c, 3
days idarubicin) and tolerated it well. However, blasts were
still present in her bone marrow biopsy and CBC differential
after completion of chemotherapy, indicating residual disease.
She had a repeat bone marrow biopsy the day before discharge,
the results of which were pending on the day of discharge. She
was scheduled to follow-up with her outpatient oncologist on
[**4-30**], and have another round of chemotherapy on [**4-20**] pending
the results of the bone marrow biopsy.
#VRE Bacteremia: Hospital course complicated by Vancomycin
resistant enterococcal bacteremia (4/4 bottles). Patient briefly
required ICU admission. Followed by ID during admission. Central
line was removed. Patient was treated with daptomycin,
meropenem, and voriconazole/micafungin during her neutropenic
phase. Surveillance blood cx's were negative for four days,
after which a PICC was placed. TTE showed mildly worsened mitral
regurgitation, but TEE showed no evidence of endocarditis,
mitral valve or otherwise. Patient was hemodynamically
stabilized and was treated with a 14 day course of daptomycin
and meropenem starting from [**2142-4-16**] (the day she was no longer
neutropenic.)
# Diverticulitis/Typhlitis: Treated with 14 day course of
meropenem after patient was no longer neutropenic.
#Pulmonary Nodules: Pt noted to be short of breath and hypoxic
with a new oxygen requirement, improved with diuresis with IV
lasix. Patient briefly required ICU admission for her hypoxia.
Chest CT showed pulmonary nodules concerning for fungal vs.
viral infection. Treated initially with albuterol/ipratroprium
nebulizers and voriconazole, which was later d/c-ed due to LFT
abnormalities and changed to micafungin. Nodules were slightly
worsened on repeat Chest CT, but patient clincally improved.
Pulmonary followed patient in-house. Decision was made not to
bronchoscopy/BAL as she clinically improved. Anti-fungal were
eventually d/c-ed. Patient should have repeat Chest CT I- high
resolution 1 week after discharge to assess for
stability/interval change of pulmonary nodules.
# Hypertension: Poorly controlled on patient's home regimen of
metoprolol 25 mg PO BID, with SBPs into the 170s-190s. Once
patient was hemodynamically stable, increased metoprolol to 50
mg PO TID and added amlodipine 5 mg daily, bridged with PRN
doses of IV hydralazine. Patient's blood pressure was 148-150s
systolic on discharge with the initiation of calcium channel
blocker and increase in beta-blocker.
# Anxiety: Pt has baseline anxiety, which has been augmented by
this new diagnosis. Pt may experience decreased PO intake with
nausea during chemo course, so would like to wean her off
Lexapro for now and address anxiety with PO/IV meds. Tapered
celexa to 20 mg by mouth daily, and controlled anxiety with
Ativan IV/PO as needed. Discharged patient on tapered celexa
dose with PRN oral ativan, as she may likely need chemotherapy
to treat her residual disease and may have difficulty with oral
medications (requiring IV meds for anxiety).
# Silicone breast implant: Noted to have silicone breast implant
leakage, stable on mammogram/ultrasound and Chest CT. Patient
may follow up with the outpatient breast surgeons once
chemotherapy is completed.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted for chemotherapy for your acute myelogenous
leukemia. Your hospital course was complicated by a blood stream
infection, which required a brief stay in the intensive care
unit. You recovered from this infection, and will be treated
with antibiotics.
Please take your medications as directed. We have made the
following changes:
- Given the liver function test abnormalities, your crestor was
held. This can be restarted as an outpatient by your primary
care physician.
[**Name Initial (NameIs) **] We had added amlodipine 5 mg by mouth daily
- We have increased your metoprolol to 50 mg by mouth three
times a day.
- We decreased your celexa to 20 mg by mouth daily, with ativan
as needed for your anxiety. This was done as you will likely
need more chemotherapy, and as you may have nausea associated
with it, we wanted to decrease the number of medications you
would need to take orally. We have given you a limited supply of
ativan until you are seen in a hospital setting later this week.
- Please restart your crestor at the discretion of your
outpatient oncologist.
- You need to take antibiotics for 6 more days (daptomycin and
ertapenem). You will need to have some lab tests checked when
you see your oncologist next week.
Please return to the hospital if you have fever > 100.4, chills,
nausea, a worsening rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough with
sputum production, or any other symptoms not listed here
concerning enough to you to warrant physician [**Name Initial (PRE) 2742**].

Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 76 year old man with history of CAD (4V CABG [**2166**]),
sternotomy/MRSA infection, flap, T2DM, COPD, recently diagnosed
smal cell lung CA in RUL, presented with 2 day history of pus
draining from bronchoscopy/mediastinoscopy wound, fever to 99.4,
and change in mental status.
.
1. fever: This presentation is similar to his prior presentation
two weeks earlier. Fever's source this time is presumed to be
an infected wound, given the pus drainage. Wound and blood
cultures were taken immediately in the ED, and he was started on
IV vanco, given his MRSA history. Shortly after, a purulent
material was expressed from his sternal wound during
exploration; one minute after this, the patient was noted by his
wife to "turn red all over", becoming tachypneic and tachycardic
to the 130's, and with notable and new, diffuse wheezing. An
ECG was obtained which showed an SVT at 143, with lateral ST
depressions. Patient had received IV vanco previously without
incident. He was admitted to MICU for close monitoring. MICU
staff felt it was unlikely to be Redman syndrome, and more
likely a transient episode of bacteremia caused by wound
exploration or an anxiety attack. IV vancomycin was continued,
without further incident. [**Hospital1 **] wet to dry dressing changes
continued, and thoracic surgery followed the patient; they felt
the wound to be not infected. On HD#[**3-17**], his erythema
surrounding the wound improved. His wound culture returned
sparse MSSA, and he was switched from IV vanco to IV oxacillin.
Patient never developed a fever in the hospital. Blood cultures
were negative at the time of discharge. A PICC line was placed
in RUE. He will continue to receive 9 more days of IV oxacillin
for a total of 2-week IV antibiotics course.
.
2. CAD: Patient's lateral ST depressions on EKG that occurred
during the episode after IV vanco infusion resolved with the
resolution of tachycardia. He was ruled out for MI, with CKs of
37, 37, 33, and TnT of 0.07, 0.05 and 0.03. Patient was
continued on Lipitor, Zetia, Toprol, losartan, and SL NG prn; he
was started on 81mg of aspirin. He remained on telemetry for
his two day stay in the MICU; upon transfer to the medicine
floor, he remained off of telemetry. On HD#3, he had an echo,
which showed LV EF 30% and LV infereolateral akinesis (see echo
[**2169-3-31**]).
.
3. Sternal Wound: No more pus was expressed from the wound while
in the hospital. [**Hospital1 **] wet to dry dressing changes continued.
Thoracic surgery team examined the wound daily and felt the
wound to be not contaminated. Erythema surrounding the wound
resolved. He was maintained on IV vanco for 3 days, and then
switched to IV oxacillin after wound culture grew sparse MSSA.
He will continue on IV oxacillin for 9 more days for a total of
2-week IV antiobiotics course.
.
4. HTN: home medications were continued.
.
5. DM: His home meds of metformin was continued. He was also
covered with regular insulin sliding scale. He was on a heart
healthy diet. His blood sugar was relatively well controlled
during this admission, with finger sticks ranging from 100 to
low 200s.
.
6. small cell cancer in R lung: This is a new diagnosis for the
patient from the FNA cytology done on [**2169-3-23**]. Patient and
family was made known of this diagnosis during this admission.
Further therapy will be coordinated asn an outpatient between
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 952**] of thoracics, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of radiation oncology, and
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 3274**] of oncology. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 3274**] was emailed about this
patient.

Chief Complaint:
Transfer for STEs
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
This patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old female who is transferred from
[**Hospital **] hospital with concern for STEMI.
.
She had an unwitnessed fall and was found at the bottom of the
stairs. She last spoke with her son yesterday at noon and this
morning her visiting nurse came and found her down. She was
confused after the fall and has been unable to provide a clear
story around the time of the fall. She was admitted to [**Hospital 4199**]
hospital where there was concern for a C4 fracture as well as
STEMI with elevated troponins.
.
In the ED she was CP free, EKG showed STEs in V3 and V4, and was
started on Heparin gtt. A CT Torso did not show any acute
injuries. CT Cspine did not show a definite fracture and her
c-spine was cleared by ortho. Cardiology was consulted in the ED
who recommended admission to CCU and discontinuing Heparin gtt
as suspicion for STEMI was low.
.
In the CCU she is A&Ox0 with likely baseline dementia. On
discussion with her son, she does not have documented dementia
but has not left her house in over a year because she gets lost
and confused, has people come to her house to cut her hair and
her nails, but is apparently up and about without issues while
within her home. She is unable to provide any history but does
deny CP, neck/jaw pain, epigastric pain, n/v, and SOB.
.
The pt is unable to provide any ROS.

Imaging/Studies:
CT Torso [**12-22**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Small ground-glass opacity in the right upper lobe which is
nonspecific but may represent contusion in setting of trauma vs
infection. If clinically relevant given patient age, recommend
follow-up to resolution to exclude underlying lesion.
2. Markedly distended bladder. Consider Foley catheter placement
if not
already completed.
3. Hypodense lesion within the upper pole of the right kidney,
likely a cyst.
4. Paget's disease of the pelvis and the right femur.
5. Atherosclerotic disease of the aorta.
.
CXR Portable [**12-22**]:
FINDINGS AND IMPRESSION: No focal opacity to suggest pneumonia
is seen.
There may be mild edema. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is
identified.
There is moderate cardiomegaly. Calcifications of the aortic
arch are
present. No displaced fracture is identified.
.
CXR Portable [**12-24**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Improved aeration, particularly in the right upper lobe.
2. No evidence of pneumonia.
3. Radiographic evidence of COPD.
4. Stable cardiomegaly.
.
ECHO [**12-24**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. There is mild
regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with distal
septal and apical hypokinesis. The remaining segments contract
normally (LVEF = 45-50%). Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Moderate
(2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There
is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. No
vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with mild
systolic dysfunction, c/w CAD. Moderate aortic regurgitation.
Mild mitral regurgitation. Mild pulmonary hypertension.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **]F with hx of HTN, HLD, COPD (diagnosed by our CT scan), and
likely severe baseline dementia transferred from OSH for concern
of ACS after being found down.
.
# Hyperactive Delerium and Severe Dementia: During this
admission, Ms. [**Known lastname 60680**] had waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**] mental status
with agitation. She was oftentimes found speaking to herself for
hours on end with poor sleep and agitation. Per report of the
family, she was also noted to have poor baseline functioning
without having left her house for years and not being able to
perform ADL's c/w severe dementia. It was felt that she was
likely delirious from a new environment, UTI which was
effectively treated, tethers, lack of sleep, and her baseline
poor vision (due to macular degeneration). She did not respond
well to redirection or small doses PO zydis but responded
somewhat to small doses of subQ haldol in the CCU, but responded
slightly to 0.25 risperidone [**Hospital1 **]. She had negative CT head,
non-focal neuro exam. She was followed by [**Female First Name (un) **] psych while
in-house. She was determined to be medically unsafe to live at
home by herself and was screened for placement in [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]-psych
facility.
.
# E. Coli UTI: She had a positive UA on admission and was
started on IV ceftriaxone in the ED. Urine cultures grew
pan-sensitive e. coli which cleared on repeat culture and blood
cultures were NGTD. She was not febrile or HD unstable at any
point and finished a 3 day course of IV ceftriaxone.
.
# Syncope Workup: Pt was found at the base of stairs although
imaging including CT torso did not demonstrate any fractures
making it unlikely that she fell down the stairs. She had STE's
in the anteroseptal leads on his EKG in the ED which were stable
from EKG's in [**2154**]. She also had LVH on EKG so her ST changes
were thought to likely represent repolarization abnormality. She
had elevated troponins but negative CKMB's which raised the
possibility that we were catching the tail end of a myocardial
event although this was unclear. She had no events on tele, and
a fairly unremarkable echo with LVEF of 45-50%. It was felt
that her fall was more likely mechanical related to her near
complete blindness, UTI, and mild dehydration from her home
lasix. She was screened for placement in a long-term care
facility.
.
# Rhabdomyolysis/Acute Kidney Injury: Pt was admitted with CK
elevation to 1863 and Cr of 1.1 (baseline unclear but we expect
something in the 0.7-0.8 range given her old age and size) after
being down for possibly 18 hours. She was given gentle IV fluids
and lasix was held and she had good urine output. Repeat CK was
279 and at time of discharge Cr had decreased to baseline.

CONTACT/ HCP: [**Name (NI) **], [**First Name3 (LF) **] [**Telephone/Fax (1) 91246**]
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
#She was deemed unsafe to continue living at home with
occasional VNA visits and was screened for placement in a
long-term care facility with [**Female First Name (un) **] psych capabilities.
.
# Pt will need frequent EKGs to monitor for QTc prolongation
while she is on risperidone
.
# pt's lasix was d/ced during hospitalization. She will need
daily weights monitored and if she puts on more than three
pounds in one day or signs of fluid overload, should restart
lasix

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mrs. [**Known lastname 60680**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you. You were admitted to the
hospital for a UTI and altered mental status. You were
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] because the outside hospital was concerned
that you were having a heart attack. In the cardiac intensive
care unit, it was determined that you were actually not having a
heart attack. You were found to have an acute kidney injury and
a condition called rhabdomyolysis. We treated you with IV
fluids and your kidney injury and rhabdomyolysis improved. Your
urinary tract infection was treated with IV antibiotics. You
remained confused and not completely oriented despite treating
your infection and are being discharged to a facility to
continue to work on your mental status.
.
We have made the following changes to your home medications:
1. Stop Lasix
2. Stop meloxicam
3. start risperidone 0.25 tablet one tablet twice daily
4. start risperidone 0.25 tablet qHS PRN for delerium
Please follow-up with your PCP after discharge from your rehab.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Known firstname **] [**Known lastname 64942**] is a 57 year-old male with right cerebellar
bleed initially he was lucid at the scene then quickly
detorioted requiring intubation where he admitted to neuro ICU
unit, started on dexamethasone and dilantin. He was taken to OR
on [**2177-2-1**] for occipital craniotomy for right cerebellar
hematoma evacuation with a ventriculostomy placement without
intraoperative complications. Patient transferred back to ICU
for hemodynamic and neurologic monitoring. Immediate post-op
neuro exam: pupils were reactive bilaterally, no eye opening,
extensor posturing on bilateral upper extremities, with a
flexion on bilateral lower extremities. Post operative MRI
requested on postop day two to evaluate for infarction, given
that his neurologic exam was not improving. MRI of the brain
showed no infarct besides some compression of the brainstem at
the level of the pons, therefore neurology consulted regarding
"locked in syndrome". Neurology team felt that patient
demonstrated some elements of locked in syndrome with preserved
vertical eye movements and blinking, and comprehension without
motor activity. If the compression of the brain stem is related
to cerebral edema there is a chance for him to regain his
fucntions as edema resolves. Neurology recommended a repeat MRI
to evaluate cerebral edema on [**2-5**] without significant change
in the appearance of edema, no mannitol was given. Over
subsequent hospital stay, his neuroloigcal status slowly but
gradually improved.
[**2177-2-6**] IVC filter palced for DVT prophylaxis since he cannot
be anticoagulated and possible prolonged
hospitalization/rehabilitation without any complication.
On [**2177-2-8**] patient started spiking fever up to 103 which
continued until [**2177-2-18**] without a clear source all of his
cultures were negative, HBV/HCV neg, ([**2-8**])CSF negative, except
sputum culture grew E COLI. Empiric triple antibiotic coverage
initiated, and infectious disease consulted. Patient had bouts
of diarrhea requiring rectal bag, cdiff was negative several
assays. ID recommeneded continue metronidazole total of 14 days
despite negtive c-diff on stool. His external ventricular drain
removed on [**2177-2-10**].
Serial Head CT' obtained to evaluate interval change in brain.
On [**2-11**] head CT showed Status post removal of the right-sided
ventricular catheter without evidence for hydrocephalus seen.
Resolving right-sided cerebellar and intraventricular
hemorrhage. Persistent low density in the right cerebellar
hemisphere, which could either represent a small evolving
infarct or residual edema.Suboccipital craniectomy staples
removed on [**2177-2-11**].
[**2177-2-12**] patient had bedside trache placement Size#8 without any
complications, gradually weaned FiO2 as tolarated. PEG palced on
[**2177-2-19**] with out a complication, able to tranfer stepdown floor
on [**2-20**].on [**2-21**] LENI Right upper and BLE lower neg for DVT,
changed to floor status on [**2-22**].
Upon discharge, patient had almost full strength and use of his
left side, right side had decreased strength (about 1-2/4),
nystagmus had disappeared, had good eye movement, was OOB to
chair for a good portion of the day, communicated via mouth
wording followed commands, was on 35% trahc collar mask and was
at full strength tube feeds. PT & OT re-evaluated patient just
before discharge for rehab recommendations.
Patient evaluated by speech pathologist regarding [**Last Name (un) 64943**] muir
valve, which was failed this may be due to the trach being too
large to get adequate airflow to the
vocal cords, &/OR upper airway edema, &/OR impaired vocal cord
mobility or closure. His trache needs to down sized at rehab in
order to use [**Last Name (un) 64943**] muir valve, if problem is continued should
followed with ENT.

History of Present Illness:
Mrs. [**Known lastname **] is a 66yo female with type I DM, ESRD on HD, recently
discharged after prolonged hospitalization w/ citrobacter UTI
complicated by seizures. Pt complete total 7days tx for UTI w/
tobramycin--abx selection based on citrobacter sensitivities
plus pt's susceptibility to sz's. Pt then dc'd on [**2173-11-26**] to
[**Hospital **] rehab. She was noted to have persistent diarrhea there
and was started on empiric PO vanc on [**12-3**]. Stool C. Diff test
negative x1. Pt noted as being more fatigued, lethargic, with
continued diarrhea. Then, developed hypotension (BP 90/50), at
which time she was brought for eval at [**Hospital1 18**].
.
In ED, BP initially 78/48, and persistently SBP 80s/50s per ED
signout, however ED nursing records show only one pressure
97/58. L femoral triple lumen was placed as pt had no access
other than tessio dialysis cath. Pt admitted to MICU for
hypotension. In the MICU, she was aggressively hydrated & SBP
improved to 90s-120s. Her hypotension was thought to be due to
dehydration in setting of diarrhea. She did not require
pressors. Pt was tx'd w/ flagyl for empiric coverage of cdiff
(toxin negative x2; B-toxin also sent). She was noted to have
positive UA (>50 WBCs, 21-50 RBCs, many bacteria, and moderate
yeast, w/ 0-2 epi's). Urine cx grew only mixed bacterial flora
c/w contamination. Pt was not started on abx for UA--team
reportedly discussed contacting ID regarding need for tx &
choice of tx given pt's prior cx data & risk for sz. (Unclear if
this was done).
Additionally, pt was ruled out for an MI. Given improvement in
BP, her beta-blocker was restarted at 1/2 dose. ACE still being
held.
She underwent HD on [**2173-12-6**], 1.5L removed, which she reportedly
tolerated well.
Her [**Date Range 15338**] were noted to be elevated >400 x2. She was transiently
on insulin gtt, then started on lantus 10u.

Brief Hospital Course:
65yo with ESRD on HD, type I diabetes, recent citrobacter UTI
c/b seizures was admitted with diarrhea and resultant
hypotension.
.
1. Hypotension.
Patient was admitted from her rehab facility with lethargy and
hypotension. She was found to have initial SBPs in the 70s and
required aggressive fluid resuscitation in the ICU. After fluid
resuscitation, she was transferred from the ICU to the floor,
where her hypotension improved with maintenance fluids,
improvement in diarrhea, and decreased fluid removal during
dialysis. She was slowly restarted on a 1/2 dose of her home
metoprolol. Her lisinopril is still being held and will need to
be restarted as her blood pressure tolerates.
.
2. Diarrhea:
Diff dx includes C. diff or antibiotic associated diarrhea. C.
Diff negative X 3 and Toxin B is still pending. Patient was
treated with oral metronidazole for presumptive C. diff and is
to complete a 14 day course ([**Date range (1) 98145**]). Additional stool
studies such as vibrio, ova and parasites, campylobacter, and
yersinia, and were sent and were unremarkable. Patient's Cdiff
toxin B will need to be followed.
.
3. UTI:
Patient was recently admitted with citrobacter UTI and received
a 7 day course of tobramycin. UA on admission was notable for
likely fecal contamination. Urine culture was negative x 2.
.
4. H/O status epilepticus:
Patient had episode of generalized tonic clonic seizures during
the previous admission and were thought to be secondary to her
citrobacter UTI. No prophylactic anti-epileptic medications were
given.
.
5. ESRD on HD
Patient was continued on her TThSat schedule and received
nephrocaps and calcium carbonate.
.
6. CAD:
Patient has a history of a NSTEMI during a previous admission.
She remained chest pain free and was maintained on her statin,
aspirin, and beta blocker. Her ACEI and beta blocker were held

Service: [**Last Name (un) 7081**]
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This 58 year old patient of Dr.
[**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 919**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 911**] was referred in for outpatient cardiac
catheterization due to a recently abnormal exercise tolerance
test. He had been followed for many years for episodes of
chest discomfort and he was told that this was not cardiac in
origin but most likely related to stress. Stress testing in
the past had always been negative for perfusion defects and
symptoms but notable for EKG changes. His chest discomfort
had occurred several times a week and came and went
periodically so he had another stress test done on [**3-31**]
which showed EKG changes with ST depressions in V4 through V6
that did resolve. There were no perfusion defects. Ejection
fraction was 64 percent. He was referred in for cardiac
catheterization which was performed on the following day,
[**2104-5-13**].
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Hypertension.
Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
Hypercholesterolemia.
BPH.
History of renal cell CA status post nephrectomy on the left.

PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Left nephrectomy approximately 6-7
years prior to this admission and a small benign tumor
removed from his testicle.
MEDICATIONS: Medications at the time of consult with Cardiac
Surgery were as follows:
1. Aspirin 325 mg po qd.
2. Lisinopril 10 mg po bid.
3. Lipitor 20 mg po bid.
4. Naprosyn 500 mg po prn.

7. Viagra prn.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He had a 10 pack year history of cigarette
smoking. He quit approximately 25 years ago. He had rare use
of alcohol and lives with his wife.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On examination, his review of systems
in addition to his medical history listed above was positive
for nocturia. His vital signs were stable. His pupils were
equally round and reactive to light and accommodation.
Extraocular muscles were intact. His oropharynx was benign.
His neck was supple with no lymphadenopathy noted. His
carotids were 2+ bilaterally without any bruits. His lungs
were clear to auscultation bilaterally. His heart was regular
rate with no murmurs, rubs or gallops. His extremities were
negative for cyanosis, clubbing or edema. Pulses were 2+
bilaterally.
His cardiac catheterization showed the following: Left main
60 percent distal lesion, LAD ostial 50-60 percent proximal
stenosis, a large OM with proximal 70 percent stenosis and a
clean right coronary artery. He was referred to Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 70**] for coronary bypass surgery. On the following day,
on [**5-14**], he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times
three by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 70**] with a LIMA to the LAD and advanced
sequentially from the ramus/diagonal to the OM. He was
transferred to the Cardiothoracic ICU in stable condition on
a propofol drip.
On postoperative day 1, he had been extubated overnight. His
nitroglycerin drip from overnight had been weaned off. He
started his aspirin and remained on an insulin drip. He was
receiving Dilaudid for pain and continuing his perioperative
vancomycin. Postoperatively, his blood pressure was 139/68.
He was in sinus rhythm with a pulse of 88. PA pressures were
30/14 with a CVP of 7. His cardiac index was 2.29 with an
output of 4.96 and SVR of 1290. His blood gas was reasonable.
He was sating 99 percent on 1 liter nasal prongs. He was
alert and oriented. His lungs were clear bilaterally. His
heart was regular rate and rhythm with S1 and S2 sounds. The
sternum was stable. His abdomen was soft, nontender,
nondistended with positive bowel sounds. His extremities were
warm and well perfused without any edema. His PA line in his
right IJ was discontinued. He started Lopressor beta blockade
with 25 mg [**Hospital1 **] and resumed his Lipitor and metformin. His
insulin drip was switched over to regular insulin sliding
scale.
On postoperative day 2, his beta blockade was increased. He
increased his activity. He was on no cardiovascular drips. He
continued with beta blockade at Lopressor 50 mg [**Hospital1 **] now and
continued with aspirin on no drips. He was switched over to
his oral agents, metformin and finished his vancomycin. His
labs were as follows: white count 7.6, hematocrit 25.1,
platelet count 171,000, sodium 136, K 4.4, chloride 105,
bicarb 26, BUN 12, creatinine 1.0 with a blood sugar of 165.
He was following all commands. His exam was benign. His
sternum was stable and incisions looked good. His IJ Cordis,
which had been switched over from the prior day from the Swan
line, was discontinued. His chest tubes were pulled and he
was transferred to FA2. On FA2, he was seen and evaluated by
Physical Therapy to continue with his ambulation.
On postoperative day 3, his temperature was 98.6. He was in
sinus rhythm in the 70's with a blood pressure of 100/60,
sating 92 percent on room air. His lungs were clear on the
left but slight crackles on the right. He was alert and
oriented. Heart was regular rate and rhythm. His abdominal
exam was benign. His chest was stable. Incision was clean,
dry and intact. He was doing very well. His metoprolol was at
50 mg [**Hospital1 **] and he continued working with Physical Therapy and
getting out of bed. [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 3208**] consult was obtained on [**5-17**]
for his six month history of type [**Known lastname **] diabetes. His sugar the
prior day rose to about 221 and we thought that starting him
back on his metformin without any side effects, but the
patient did complain of a little bit of numbness on his feet
so [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 3208**] consult was called for evaluation and management
of his diabetes. They recommended starting him on glipizide
and doing additional lab work.
On postoperative day 4, the day of discharge, the patient had
a T-max of 98.6 with a temperature of 98.2. His heart rate
was 75 in sinus rhythm with a blood pressure of 108/62,
sating 96 percent on room air. His exam was benign with the
exception of some slight crackles bilaterally in his lungs
but he was doing very well. The [**Last Name (un) 3208**] consult
recommendations were followed. The glipizide was added.
Follow-up lab work was ordered with a plan to discharge him
if he continued to do well.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: In fact, he was discharged on [**5-18**]
with the following discharge diagnoses:
Status post coronary artery bypass grafting times three.
Coronary artery disease.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 69 year old Cambodian woman with a history of
cardioresp arrest secondary neck mass (thyroid ca) - resected,
c/b tracheal stenosis - tracheostomy which stenosed - was
changed to a T tube 3 weeks ago - presented today from rehab
hospital for f/u bronch. The patient's history dates back to
[**2173-3-10**] when she was found unresponsive at home. She
recovered and was found to have papillary thyroid cancer, and in
[**Month (only) 958**] her cancer had an extensive resection involving a
sternotomy. Subsequently, her course was complicated by
subglotic edema, requiring a trach, and multiple vent-acquired
PNA's. Most recently, for progessive tracheal stenosis, she was
changed to a t-tube about three weeks ago. Of note, she has also
had several episodes of respiratory arrest thought due to mucus
plugging and respiratory compromise at [**Hospital1 18**] and rehab.
Today, she presented to IP for a followup bronchoscopy.
Following sedation after initiation of the bronch, the patient
desaturated and developed resp. arrest. After some manual
ventilation she was resuscitated but she has had frequent ectopy
(PVC's) on the cardiac monitor (this was also noted following
her cardiac arrest in [**Month (only) 205**]). The IP team requested that she be
admitted to the MICU for observation given the respiratory
arrest and the frequent ectopy.
Past Medical History:
1. Mult episodes of cardiac and respiratory arrest prompting
inpatient hospitalizations here [**4-12**] and [**9-12**]; most recently s/p
VAP with respiratory difficulties and Cardiac arrest [**9-2**] at OSH
2. thyroid cancer dx in [**3-/2173**]- Papillary cancer with positive

Brief Hospital Course:
69 year old woman with history of papillary thyroid ca s/p
resection, complicated by tracheal stenosis. Here today for
elective bronch complicated by respiratory arrest.
1) For her respiratory failure, the patient s/p respiratory
arrest after bronch, s/p t-tube for tracheomalacia. The most
likely etiology was a combination of over-sedation and mucus
plugging. On arrival to the MICU the patient was satting very
well on trach collar and was comfortable.
2) For her frequent ectopy, s/p respiratory arrest during the
bronch. It is unclear how much ectopy she had prior to the
bronch, but according to old [**Hospital1 18**] records, she had this during
her previous hospitalizations. She responds very well to her
beta-blockade. Her LDL was 73 and HDL was 66 so a statin was
not started.
3) For f/en, the pt has a history of aspiration, with a g-tube
in place. She did past a speech & swalllow eval during her
previous admit. Her most recent diet here was
diabetic/Consistent carbohydrate, consistency: Ground; w/ Nectar
prethickened liquids with aspiration precautions and this was
continued.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 67-year-old
woman who was found unconscious by a neighbor on [**2154-8-23**].
[**Name2 (NI) 430**] CT showed at an outside hospital revealed an
intracranial hemorrhage, right frontal parietal with mild
shift of the falx and moderate edema with no evidence of
herniation. The patient was admitted to the outside
hospital, started on labetalol and loaded with Dilantin. She
did have a decrease in mental status one to two days after
being there and was transferred to [**Hospital6 649**] for further management.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypertension
2. Diabetes
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Unknown
EXAM: Heart rate was 117, temperature 97.7??????, blood pressure
148/59, respiratory rate was 24, saturations 97%. She was on
Nipride drip on admission. Pupils were equal, round and
reactive to light but sluggish bilaterally. She did not
follow commands. She was arousable to sternal rub, but
drowsy. Heart was regular rate and rhythm. Chest was clear
to auscultation. Abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended. She
also had incontinence and was unable to move the left side
when found.
On arrival to [**Hospital3 **], she was arousable to sternal rub
only. She was spontaneously moving the right side and right
upper extremity and bilateral lower extremities with no
movement in the left upper extremity. She was admitted to
the Surgical Intensive Care Unit for close monitoring. On
the morning of [**8-26**], the patient was less awake. Pupils were
trace reactive. She continued to localize on the right side,
withdrew the left side to pain. She had a repeat head CT
which was unchanged on [**8-26**]. The patient's family decided
not to undergo any surgical treatment or blood transfusions
since the patient was a Jehovah's Witness. The patient was
transferred to the neurology service. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 6910**] met
with the family on [**2154-8-27**] and it was decided that the
patient would be comfort measures only. The patient passed
away on [**2154-8-28**].

Chief Complaint:
recurrent pneumonia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
PICC, left arm
History of Present Illness:
Briefly, this is a 65 year-old F with COPD who has been admitted
to an OSH 3 times in the past 2 months for a RLL pneumonia/
consolidation. She initially presented 2 months ago with RLL
PNA, and returned one month ago with RLL and lingular PNA. She
underwent bronchoscopy on [**7-2**] at which time BAL cultures were
negative and cytology from the washings was negative. A CT of
the chest was reportedly without malignancy. She most recently
returned to [**Hospital3 **] Hospital 8 days after discharge ([**7-12**]) with
increasing cough, sputum production, and left sided rib pain
which started two days
prior to presentation. A CT again showed mass-like consolidation
in the lingula with interval increase in size since the previous
film, RLL atelectasis and dense consolidation which is
unchanged, stable
mediastinal adenopathy, and an acute left 7th rib fracture. A
PPD placed at [**Hospital3 **] was negative according to their records.
She was started on zosyn on [**7-12**]; after sputum cx grew out MRSA
she was started on vancomycin on [**7-15**]. She was transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] on [**7-18**] for further work-up and management of her
recurrent pneumonias. She had a repeat bronchoscopy on [**7-22**],
cytology from which revealed BAC.
While her current exacerbation was considered to be due to
infection, the pt was felt to have poor underlying lung function
from involvement of her tumor and therefore was started on
tarceva.
.
In the MICU the patient had waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**] respiratory status
and required a NRB. SHe was never intubated. Currently she is on
70% face mask. She continued to be treated for hospital acquired
pna with vanc/levo/flagyl. While the bronchoal lavage cx was
negative but a sputum cx grew MRSA. The pt was also found to
have new ARF with a creatinine of 1.5, which was thought to be
prerenal and resolved with IVF. Her chest pain was felt to be
due to a rib fracture and was treated with dilaudid.
.
The pt is now transfered for further management of her BAC. She
is currently on 6L NC with intermittent episodes of SOB and a
dry cough and denies CP, nausea, vomiting

Bronchial lavage:[**7-23**]
Suspicious for non-small cell carcinoma.
Scattered single cells and loose clusters of cells with high
nuclear cytoplasmic and nuclear membrane irregularity,
nucleoli and chromatin clearing.
These findings are suspiciuos for non-small cell carcinoma,
possibly bronchioloalveolar type
.
Chest CT w/ contrast [**8-6**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Improving right lower lobe consolidation and lymphadenopathy.
2. Improving left basilar atelectasis.
3. Stable suspicious mass in the lingula. A nearby area of
well-marginated ground-glass opacity may be inflammatory or also
raises suspicion for malignancy. The opacities are unchanged.
4. New mixed patchy ground glass and consolidative opacity in
the superior segment of the left lower lobe, which could be
infectious, inflammatory or due to aspiration.
5. No evidence of bony metastases, but several rib fractures,
which are unchanged in retrospect.
6. Pneumobilia, which could be seen in prior sphincterotomy.
7. Suspicious renal lesion not imaged.
.
Brain MRI:IMPRESSION: Mild-to-moderate brain atrophy. No
evidence of acute infarct or abnormal enhancement. No evidence
of mass effect or hydrocephalus.
.
Bone Scan: IMPRESSION: 1. Two adjacent areas of focal increased
tracer uptake in the left
lateral 7th and 8th ribs consistent with fractures. 2.
Nonspecific increased
tracer uptake within the right 6th posterior and 7th lateral
ribs. Given the
findings in the contralateral ribs, this tracer uptake may also
be due to a
trauma; however, correlation with cross-sectional imaging (CT
scan) could be
used for further evaluation if clinically indicated.
.
CT Abdomen/pelvis: [**7-26**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Complete consolidation of the right lower lobe, which may be
filled with fluid (perhaps related to recent lavage),
hemorrhage, or tumor. This appearance is rather extensive for
BAC, however, it is possible. No focal masses are identified
within the consolidated lobe.
2. Spiculated mass within the lingula with associated left hilar
lymphadenopathy is highly concerning for malignancy.
3. Vague airspace opacities at the left posterior lung base and
medial aspect of the right middle lobe may represent infection
or less likely tumor.
4. 1.3 cm soft tissue lesion within the right kidney which may
represent a hemorrhagic cyst, or renal cell carcinoma. Recommend
further evaluation with MRI.
5. Three hypoattenuating lesions within the liver are likely
cysts, however, attention should be paid to these on future
exams to ensure stability.
6. Diverticulosis without diverticulitis.
7. Moderate centrilobular emphysema.
.
TBBX:
Atypical mucinous glands, highly suspicious for
bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, mucinous type.
Brief Hospital Course:
63F with recurrent pneumonias, htn was transfered on [**7-17**] from
an OSH after 3 hospitalizations for RLL pneumonia in the last 2
months. The next hospitalization found RLL and Lingular PNA. A
BAL on [**7-2**] was negative for bacteria or atypical/malignant
cytology. On the most recent admission, Ms. [**Known lastname 56012**] was found
to have sputum positive for MRSA. The patient was at home for 8
days with 2.5 L continous oxygen requirement with dyspnea on
excertion. On [**7-12**] the patient returned to the hospital with
excruciating laft sided rib pain that developed over 3 days that
was though to be secondary to severe coughing. Admission CT was
postive for RLL a persistent RLL consildation, left lingular
process, and 7th rib fracture. Ms. [**Known lastname 56012**] was treated with
Zosyn starting [**7-12**] and vancomycin on [**7-15**] following a sputum
positive for MRSA on [**7-15**]. was found to have have a positive
MRSA result cultured from sputum. She underwent bronch at OSH
which revealed no evidence of tumor. She was transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for further management.
At [**Hospital1 18**], she underwent work-up for the hypoxia which
involved pulmonary consult which recommended repeat bronch. The
patient underwent bronch with biopsies on [**7-22**]. Bronch was
remarkable for abundant secretions.

# Acute hypoxia;
Patient experienced multiple episodes of acute hypoxia most
concerning for mucous plugging given the abundant secretions on
bronch. No evidence of CHF. Patient never intubated throughout
ICU stay, was able to be maintained on NRB and then titrated as
secretions improved to Face Mask and 6L NC. Two febrile
episodes with rising white count and worsening respiratory
status treated empirically for post-obstructive PNA with course
of vanco and zosyn. Patient to complete a ten day course of IV
Vancomycin and Zosyn (total of 7 days post-dsicharge).
.
# Bronchoalveolar Carcinoma, mucinous type:
Persistent RLL cosolidation and cough over months despite
treatment, BAL demonstrated bronchorrhea from bronchoavelolar
cancer, mucinous type on pathology. CT chest also demonstrated
spiculated mass in the lingula. Patient started on 60mg
prednisone and Tarceva daily with improvement in brochorrhea.
Nebs given standing. Patient to continue with Tarceva until she
is evaluated by Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 20889**] ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 56014**]) as outpatient
for further management of BAC. She also will continue with a

intra-op echo [**2101-4-1**]
Pre-bypass: The left atrium and right atrium are normal in
cavity size. No spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in
the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage. No atrial
septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size
and global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There are simple
atheroma in the aortic arch. There are simple atheroma in the
descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve leaflets are
severely thickened/deformed. There is critical aortic valve
stenosis (valve area <0.8cm2). Trace aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. Trivial
mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial effusion.
There is a 4 cm x 4cm echodense object seen in the transgastric
views that is near the descending thoracic aorta. The surgeons
were made aware of this finding.
Post-bypass: The patient is receiving no inotropic support
post-CPB. There is a well-seated bioprosthesis in the aortic
position with good leaflet excursion. There is no transvalvular
or paravalvular regurgitation. The mean transvalvular gradient
is 10 mm Hg at a cardiac output of 5.9 L/min. Biventricular
systolic function is preserved and all other findings are
consistent with pre-bypass findings. The aorta is intact
post-decannulation. All findings were communicated to the
surgeon intraoperatively.

Brief Hospital Course:
Following transfer, the usual workup was completed and she was
prepared for surgery.
On [**4-1**] she was taken to the Operating Room where aortic valve
replacement was accomplished. See operative note for details.
She weaned from bypass on Neo Synephrine and Propofol. She
remained stable, pressors were weaned and discontinued. She was
extubated and remained stable. On POD 2she experienced an hour
or so of expressive aphasia which completely resolved.
Neurology saw her and a Head CT and EEG were unremarkable; all
narcotics were discontinued. She continued to progress and
transferred to the floor on POD# 3 for further monitoring. Beta
blockers were begun and she was diuresed towards her
preoperative weight. Wires and CTs were removed per protocols,
without complications, and Physical Therapy evaluated her for
strength and mobility. A stay at a rehab facility for a brief
time was felt approprite before return home to independent
living. At the time of transfer to rehab her wound was clean and

a 34-year-old gravida 5, para 2 (now 3) woman.
PRENATAL SCREENS: Blood type O positive, antibody screen
negative, Rubella immune, rapid plasma reagin nonreactive,
hepatitis B surface antigen negative, group B strep status
negative.
PAST OBSTETRICAL HISTORY: Notable for two previous infants
delivered at 35 weeks with Surfactant requirement due to
respiratory distress. Estimated date of confinement was
[**2192-1-21**]. The pregnancy was complicated by preterm
labor treated with bed rest and terbutaline from 25 through
33 weeks gestation. There was spontaneous progression of
labor leading to a spontaneous vaginal delivery under
epidural anesthesia. There was no antepartum maternal fever
or other clinical evidence of sepsis. No intrapartum
antibacterial prophylaxis was given. Rupture of membranes
occurred five hours prior to delivery with clear fluid. The
infant required tactile stimulation and bulb suctioning.
Apgar scores were 7 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes. She was
transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for management
of her respiratory distress.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: On admission to the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit weight was 3.51
kilograms (greater than the 90th percentile), head
circumference was 34.5 cm (90th percentile), and length was
49.5 cm (90th percentile). In general, a nondysmorphic
infant in moderate respiratory distress. Head, eyes, ears,
nose, and throat examination revealed palate was intact and
normocephalic. Neck and mouth were normal. Chest revealed
moderate intercostal retractions with spontaneous breath
spare excursion. Breath sounds were fair bilaterally. No
crackles. Cardiovascular examination revealed well perfused.
A regular rate and rhythm. Femoral pulses were normal.
There was a 1/6 systolic ejection murmur at the left lower
sternal border without radiation. The abdomen was soft and
nondistended. There were no organomegaly. There were no
masses. Bowel sounds were active. The anus was patent.
Genitourinary examination revealed normal female genitalia.
Neurological examination revealed responsive to stimulation.
Tone was slightly decreased in a symmetrical distribution.
Moved all extremities. Back was intact. The skin was
normal. Musculoskeletal examination revealed normal spine,
hips, and clavicles. There was bruising of the right foot.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM INCLUDING PERTINENT
LABORATORY DATA:
1. RESPIRATORY: [**Known lastname 8254**] was initially placed on continuous
positive airway pressure without improvement in her
respiratory distress. She was subsequently intubated and
received two doses of Surfactant. She was extubated to
continuous positive airway pressure on day of life one.
She was changed to nasal cannula oxygen on day of life
three and weaned to room air on day of life four. At the
time of discharge, she was breathing comfortably on room
air with respiratory rates in the 40s to 50s.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: The murmur noted on admission resolved
within the first 48 hours of life. At the time of
discharge, her heart rates were 130 to 160 beats per
minute with a recent blood pressure of 68/39 with a mean
of 54 mmHg.
3. FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Feedings were
initiated on day of life two and gradually advanced to
full volume. At the time of discharge, she was breast
feeding or feeding expressed mother's milk; minimum of 140
cc/kilogram per day. Weight at the time of discharge was
3.185 kilograms.
Serum electrolytes were checked in the first three days of
life and were within normal limits.
4. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: Due to the unknown etiology of her
respiratory distress, [**Known lastname 8254**] was evaluated for sepsis. Her
complete blood count was normal. A blood culture was
obtained prior to starting intravenous ampicillin and
gentamicin. Blood culture was no growth at 48 hours, and
the antibiotics were discontinued.
5. HEMATOLOGICAL: Hematocrit at birth was 49.7 percent.
[**Known lastname 8254**] is blood type O positive and Coombs negative. She
did not receive any transfusions of blood products.
6. GASTROINTESTINAL: [**Known lastname 8254**] required treatment for
unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy. Peak
serum bilirubin occurred on day of life four - with a
total of 15.8/0.4 mg/dL direct. She received phototherapy
for approximately 72 hours. Her phototherapy was
discontinued on [**2193-1-2**] with a rebound bilirubin
on [**2193-1-3**] of 10.2/0.3. She still had clinical
jaundice, and a repeat bilirubin was drawn on [**2193-1-5**] with a total of 12/0.3 mmHg direct. Bilirubin on the
day of discharge was a total of 11.3/0.3 mmHg direct.
7. NEUROLOGICAL: [**Known lastname 8254**] has maintained a normal neurological
examination during admission, and there were no
neurological concerns at the time of discharge.
8. SENSORY/AUDIOLOGY: Hearing screening was performed with
automated auditory brain stem responses. [**Known lastname 8254**] passed in
both ears.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Home with parents.

Brief Hospital Course:
1. Bacteremia: The patient was admitted with fevers, chills, and
blood cultures growing enterococcus, with his HD catheter being
the culprit source. The line was discontinued and the line tip
and swab from the line swab grew enteroBACTER, pan-sensitive.
The patient was continued on vancomycin, with levels followed
for target trough of 15-20, for enterococcus as well as
levofloxacin for enterobacter, in addition to gentamicin. TTE
showed 1+ MR, no other valvular abnormalities. He is discharged
with five weeks of Vancomycin to complete a six-week course. He
is also being discharged on Levofloxacin and Gentamicin.
.
2. Knee pain/swelling- The patient was diagnosed with a septic
prosthetic knee, with joint fluid that grew enterococcus.
Orthopedic surgery was consulted and performed a knee wash out
in the OR on [**2106-9-22**] with polyethylene exchange. X-ray on
admission showed femoral periosteal thickening which raised the
question of chronic osteomyelitis; this is of uncertain activity
without prior films. No findings to suggest acute osteomyelitis,
but pt may need knee replacement or further debridement. HV in
place until [**9-25**]. The plan is for the patient to eventually have
the hardware replaced in his knee, once his infectious disease
issues resolve.
.
3. HCV- The patient was previously scheduled for a liver biopsy
but this was cancelled until bacteremia resolved.
.
4. ESRD: Renal followed the patient throughout his admission.
His creatinine steadily increased throughout the start of his
hospitalization. Renal attempted to use his new fistula on [**9-23**]
(placed [**8-11**]), but did the fistula did not function properly. A
tunnelled HD line was placed by IR on [**2107-9-28**] and the patient
reinitiated dialysis.
.
5. Anemia: The patient was noted to have a hematocrit that
trended down to 23.2, down from a baseline around 26. Per the
recommendation of Renal, the patient was given 1U PRBC with
lasix (pt does have some urine output).
.
6. DM- The patient was continued on a regular insulin sliding
scale

Date of Birth: [**2146-3-25**] Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY: Baby boy [**Known lastname 11679**] was a 3.080 kg product of a 35 and
4/7 weeks delivery born to a 31-year-old G2, P0, now 1 mother
with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, chronic
hypertension, and hypothyroidism. She has been on an insulin
pump, labetalol and levothyroxine during this pregnancy.
Prenatal screens - blood type A positive, direct Coombs
negative, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, RPR
nonreactive, rubella immune, GBS unknown.
Pregnancy was benign other than for increased intensity of
monitoring for the maternal medical condition. She had a
cesarean section for spontaneous decelerations. No maternal
fever or other critical evidence of chorioamnionitis. The
infant was vigorous at birth with Apgars of 8 at 1 minute,
and 8 at 5 minutes and required oxygen initially but was
weaned in the first few hours of life and was transferred to
[**Hospital3 1810**] NICU due to bed availability for
monitoring of respiratory status and glucose. He remained in
room air with well maintained glucose on ad lib demand
feeding. He was transferred back to the [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 3867**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]
[**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] regular nursery on [**2145-3-28**], for
routine neonatal care. In the newborn nursery he was noted to
be jaundiced with a bilirubin of 15.8/0.3 on [**3-29**].
Phototherapy was started at that time and subsequent
reduction to 15.2/0.4. The screening car seat test resulted
in desaturations. At 0500 he was noted to have circumoral
cyanosis with an oral feed which resolved with free flow
oxygen. He was transferred to the NICU for further
observation.
HISTORY OF HOSPITAL COURSE IN THE NEWBORN INTENSIVE CARE
UNIT: RESPIRATORY: He has been stable in room air
throughout hospital course. In the initial 24 hours in the
newborn intensive care unit, he was noted to have 2 episodes
of desaturations to 79 and 80 with oral feedings. This has
resolved. The last documented episode was on [**4-1**].
CARDIOVASCULAR: No issues.
FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Discharge weight is
3225 grams. The infant has been ad lib feeding Enfamil 20
calorie or breast milk, taking in adequate amounts.
GASTROINTESTINAL: His most recent bilirubin was on [**2146-3-31**], and was 9.9/0.3.
SENSORY: Hearing screen was performed with automated auditory
brain stem responses and the infant passed.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: To home.
NAME OF PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **].
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS: Continue ad lib breast feeding on
Enfamil 20 calories.
MEDICATIONS: Not applicable.
CAR SEAT POSITION SCREENING: The car seat position screening
test was performed and the infant passed 90 minute screening.
THE STATE NEWBORN SCREEN: The state newborn screens have
been sent per protocol.
IMMUNIZATIONS RECEIVED: The infant received Hepatitis B
vaccine on [**2146-3-30**].
IMMUNIZATIONS RECOMMENDED:
1. Synagis RSV prophylaxis should be considered from
[**Month (only) **] through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the
following three criteria.
1. Born at less than 32 weeks.
2. Born between 32 and 35 weeks with two of the
following:
2. daycare during the RSV season.
3. a smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway
abnormalities, or school age siblings.
4. with chronic lung disease.
1. Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the
fall for all infants once they reach 6 months of age.
Before this age and for the first 24 months of the
child's life, immunization against influenza is
recommended for household contacts and out of home
caregivers.

states she has had bouts of chest pain with her hiatal hernia in
the past that have lasted for several days. States 4 days PTA at
[**Hospital1 18**] she awoke with chest pain and nausea and vomiting that was
typical of her nml hiatal hernia pain only was more severe in
nature. Also had some chills but no fevers, no SOB, cough. Went
to a hospital in NH and states she was diagnosed with pna and
started on an antibiotic. States she was told that her chest
pain was [**1-3**] the hiatal hernia. She continued to have vomiting
and states she was only able to tolerate sips of clears. She did
tolerate jello before being discharged 1 day PTA. States she was
given all of her regular BP meds at the OSH but was told that
her sBP was persistently in the 190's.
States she went home and continued to have nausea, vomiting, and
was unable to tolerate any po's so came to [**Hospital1 18**] the following
day. On day of admission she states she was able to take the

and PE. Nitro gtt was titrated up to 300mcg and a CCU bed was
requested because the pt was still experiencing some chest
discomfort.
ROS: Denies PND, SOB. Has some DOE with walking but attributes
this to deconditioning given that she is unable to exercise b/c
of her sciatica. With regards to BP states that Diovan was
recently decreased from 320 to 160mg daily due to hyperkalemia.

leaflets mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. Mild (1+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated pulmonary artery
systolic pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion.
.
Stress [**6-/2148**]: Exercised for 6 minutes of [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] protocol. The
test was stopped at the patient's request due to neck
discomfort, lower back discomfort and fatigue. This represents a
limited physical working capacity. She reported a progressive
discomfort in the back of her neck beginning at 3.75 minutes of
exercise, progressing to [**7-11**] at 4 minutes of exercise,
subsiding to [**5-11**] at peak exercise and resolving completely with
rest by 5 minutes of recovery. No ST segment changes were noted
during exercise or recovery periods. The rhythm was sinus with
no ectopy. Blood pressure response to exercise was appropriate,
heart rate response was blunted. IMPRESSION: Possible atypical
anginal type symptoms with no ischemic EKG changes at the
achieved workload. Nuclear report sent separately.
.
pMIBI [**6-/2148**]: Resting perfusion images were obtained with
thallium.
Tracer was injected 15 minutes prior to obtaining the resting
images.
Exercise images were obtained with MIBI. Stress images show no
perfusion defects. Resting perfusion images show no abnormality.
LVEF calculated from gated wall motion images obtained after
exercise shows a LVEF that is visually estimated at 50%. The
wall motion is normal. IMPRESSION: No perfusion defects at the
level of exercise achieved.
.
EGD ([**2154-7-31**]): Grade 2 esphagitis in distal [**12-4**] of esophagus.
Mild antral gastritis.
Brief Hospital Course:
64 yo F with h/o DM1 admitted with hypertensive urgency and
chest pain.
.
# Hypertensive crisis: Ms [**Known lastname 5936**] was admitted with SBP >200
despite having taken her regular BP meds at home; she reports
her SBP was similarly elevated throughout her recent admission
to OSH. She has not been able to take her medication regularly
recently however due to persistant nausea and vomiting. Her HTN
is likely secondary to a) lack of BP meds, b) pain and n/v
causing increased sympathetic stimulation. She was initially
started on a nitro gtt in the ED; upon admission to the CCU she
was transitioned to PO labetolol overnight. She was restarted
on her outpatient medications with the addition of carvedilol,
which was titrated to 25 [**Hospital1 **]. The patient continued to have
elevated BP, so Amlodipine was added. The patient will follow
up with her PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] 1 week; as she recovers from this acute
illness her PCP may be able to wean her BP regimen. She may
need an outpatient renal artery MRA to evaluate for secondary
hypertension.
.
# Chest pain: Ms [**Known lastname 5936**] reports that this episode of chest pain
is similar to pain she has had with her hiatal hernia/gastritis
in the past. Cardiac ischemia was thought to be very unlikely
given ECG relatively unchanged and 2 sets of negative cardiac
enzymes. Her pain was treated with standing reglan, PPI,
[**Last Name (LF) 16606**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] dPRN morphine. She was continued on her [**First Name3 (LF) **],
statin.
We recommend an outpatient follow up stress test.
.
# N/V: The patient reports that her symptoms were consistent
with her hiatal hernia/gastroparesis/gastritis in the past. She
may have had a viral syndrome (had chills previously), though
she did not have diarrhea. Obstruction was thought to be very
unlikely as the patient had regular BM's with active bowel
sounds. GI was consulted, and an EGD was performed, which
showed mild antral gastritis and Grade 2 distal esophagitis.
She was treated with anzemet prn and ativan PRN as well as
reglan, [**First Name3 (LF) 16606**], and PPI [**Hospital1 **]. She was also given IVF hydration.
She will follow up with GI as an outpatient.
.
# h/o black stools with anemia: had cscope 1 month ago which was
negative, and EGD this admission did not show active bleed. She
likely has. Now likely has anemia of inflammation; anemia labs
were sent (including B12, folate and iron studies) and were
pending at discharge. She did not require transfusion. She
will follow up with her PCP.
.
# FEN: her electrolytes were followed and repleted as needed.
She tolerated PO diet.
.
# Endocrine: She was continued on her insulin pump for her type
1 DM; however on [**7-31**] she ran out of insulin cartridges (though
she did not tell her doctors) and she developed DKA. She was
treated with IVF, IV insulin and started on NPH/ISS with rapid
correction of the DKA. [**Last Name (un) **] was consulted; she was discharged
on her insulin pump. She will follow up with [**Last Name (un) **]. She was
continued on levothyroxine for her hypothyroidism.
.
# h/o pna diagnosed at OSH: The patient had no signos or
symptoms of pneumonia throughout her admission, therefore no
antibiotices were given.
.
# h/o depression: continue citalopram. No active issues.
.
# h/o sciatica: cont [**Last Name (un) 16604**] and neurontin.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: 85-year-old woman with history
of metastatic pancreatic biliary cancer who presents from
home with 3-4 days of malaise with weakness. Her last bowel
movement was three days prior to admission. She has
decreased urine output the prior two days, no chest pain
although she does have some shortness of breath and abdominal
pain over the past few days. She feels weak and has diffuse
aches and pains. She has a history of GI bleed in the
setting of anticoagulation for pulmonary embolism. In
[**2174-2-18**] she underwent embolization of a duodenal artery
by interventional radiology at that time. She has a large
pancreatic mass requiring gastrojejunostomy done by Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] because of stricture/obstruction. She has not
noticed any melena or bright red blood per rectum. In the
Emergency Room she was with blood pressure 80/60, hematocrit
12.5, received one liter of normal saline, one unit of packed
red blood cells. EGD showed bleeding of a pancreatic mass in
the stomach. Patient and family wanted to proceed with IR
intervention.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Metastatic pancreatic cancer, biliary
cancer with mets to the liver diagnosed in [**2-19**] during GJ
tube placement with liver biopsy. Pulmonary embolism status
post IVC filter placement in [**2173-12-18**]. GI bleed in the
setting of anticoagulation for pulmonary embolism.
Hypertension. Diabetes mellitus type 2, coronary artery
disease status post MI, status post cholecystectomy, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS: Calcium carbonate 1 gm tid, Captopril 150 mg po
tid, Reglan 10 mg po tid, Metoprolol 50 mg po bid, Zantac 150
mg po bid, Ativan .25 mg po q 8 hours prn, Darvocet two
tablets po prn, OxyContin 20 mg po bid prn, Ambien 5 mg po q
h.s. prn, Glucotrol 5 mg po bid.
SOCIAL HISTORY: No tobacco or alcohol use, she immigrated 9
years ago.
FAMILY HISTORY: Father had esophageal cancer, mother had a
stroke, brother has lung cancer.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission is notable for
temperature 97.7, pulse 79, blood pressure 94/63,
respirations 15. 100% sat on room air. In general, alert
and oriented times three, no acute distress, Russian
speaking. HEENT: Pupils are equal, round, and reactive to
light, extraocular movements intact, oropharynx clear, right
IJ line in place, no lymphadenopathy. Heart tachycardic, no
murmurs, rubs or gallops. Chest is clear to auscultation
bilaterally, no wheezes or rales. Abdomen soft, nontender,
active bowel sounds, positive ascites. Extremities, no
edema, dorsalis pedis pulses +2 bilaterally. Neuro, cranial
nerves II through XII intact.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood count 13.2, hematocrit 12.5,
platelet count 219,000, INR 1.3, BUN 56, creatinine 1.0.
LFTs within normal limits. CK and troponin within normal
limits. Albumin 2.9. EKG was normal sinus rhythm at 86 with
normal axis, normal intervals, a Q in lead 3 which is old
with flipped T in 1 and 2 and 3 which is new.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted and taken to the
Intensive Care Unit. For left GI bleed she received multiple
units of packed red blood cells and then a stable hematocrit
after transfusions in the mid 30's. EGD was done which
showed a bleeding pancreatic mass and therefore patient went
to angiography, had embolization of her gastroduodenal branch
with good results. She has been hemodynamically stable since
the procedure and was called out of the Intensive Care Unit
on [**2174-6-9**]. The procedure was complicated with right groin
hematoma which has since improved. A radiation oncology
consult was obtained to evaluate for palliative radiation to
the site of her mass. They felt it would not be of benefit.
After discussion with the family and with the patient, we
decided on no further treatment at this time for the
malignancy but to try to optimize her status by transferring
her to [**Hospital **] [**Hospital **] Rehab. Her PO intake has been
gradually increased with the normal 50 cc IV fluids. Also of
note, her CKs were normal and her blood pressure was
initially low and then as it increased the Metoprolol and
then the Captopril were able to be added back on. She had
occasional runs of supraventricular tachycardia which all
stopped spontaneously. Her hematocrit after 6 units of
packed red blood cells is in the mid 30's.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Calcium carbonate one po tid,
Captopril 25 mg po tid, Metoprolol 50 mg po bid, Reglan 10 mg
po tid, Protonix 40 mg po bid, Ativan .25 mg po q 8 hours

Ambien 5 mg po q h.s. prn, Glucotrol 5 mg po bid, Colace 100
mg po bid. Diet is cardiac and diabetic. She will have
physical therapy at [**Hospital1 **].
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Metastatic pancreatic cancer/biliary cancer.
2. Pulmonary embolism.
3. Upper GI bleed, now status post embolization.
Patient is stable for transfer. Upon transfer her oncologist
will have further discussions with the family about code
status and possible hospice placement.

visiting. Patient ate normally and spent all morning playing
with
her great grandson [**Name (NI) 12130**]. [**Name2 (NI) **] daughter left around 10:15 am.
Around 11 or 11:15am, her home health aide [**Doctor First Name 38329**] arrived. Family
and I spoke to [**Doctor First Name 38329**] via telephone. Per [**Doctor First Name 38329**], patient was able
to open door to let [**Doctor First Name 38329**] in and was walking around the house
normally (in her usual fashion, which is holding onto the walls
because she is legally blind and refuses to use a walker). [**Doctor First Name 38329**]
and patient had conversation. Patient complained about the
weather, but did not endorse any neurologic complaints. Per
[**Doctor First Name 38329**], patient's speech was normal. Then, around 11:30 am, they
went into bathroom to get patient ready for bath. While in
bathroom, patient started to have slurring of speech, was
diaphoretic, and had left facial droop and difficulty using her
left side. [**Doctor First Name 38329**] called the patient's son [**Name (NI) 2491**] who then called
EMS.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was transferred to the ICU on cardiac telemetry
after administration of tPA. She ruled out for an acute
myocardial infarction with three sets of negative cardiac
enzymes. She had almost a total recovery from her symptoms
after 1 day in the ICU. Her blood pressure was maintained in
the 140-160 systolic range. After two days she was started on a
heparin drip. She was eventually transferred to the floor after
four days. Lisinopril was added for blood pressure control.
The patient was started on warfarin with a goal INR of 2.0-3.0.
She had several episodes of mild shortness of breath. This
responded very well to light diuresis and atrovent nebulizers.
The patient had carotid US that were found to be negative for
significant disease. The etiology of her stroke was felt to be
most consistent with a cardioembolic source secondary to atrial
fibrillation. She was discharged to rehab with a follow up
appointment to be seen in the stroke clinic within six weeks.

Service: MED
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 36-year-old male with
a nonsignificant history was admitted 3 days ago from an
outside hospital. According to his wife, the patient was in
normal state of excellent health until a week-and-a-half ago,
before his admission, when he noted the onset of left flank
pain a few days after his return from a golf trip to [**State 108**].
The patient notes that the day before his admission, he had
developed gross blood in his urine. However, despite this
symptom, his wife reports that he went to work the morning of
his admission, returned around noon, seemingly to be in
normal health. He was found by a neighbor around 8 p.m., on
the day of admission incoherent and crawled up in a fetal
position in his front lawn, he was very agitated, but highly
confused leading the neighbor to contact the EMS and police.
Police noted that he was agitated, combative, and confused
resulting in his transport to [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital. While at
this outside hospital, he was initially alert and oriented
times 3, but due to his combative behavior, he was given 60
mg of IV Ativan. By report, he was found to have a fever of
103 degrees, a negative head CT and EKG showing [**Street Address(2) 4793**]
elevation from leads V1 through V4, and troponin level of 13.
The urine toxic screen positive for benzodiazepines and
cocaine. He was given IV Rocephin, aspirin, nitroglycerin,
and an amp of D50, was intubated. He was transported by Med
flight to [**Hospital1 18**] for emergent cardiac catheterization. At
presentation to [**Hospital1 18**] ER, he was found to have a blood
pressure of 205/101, a heart rate of 123, saturations at 99
percent on FiO2 of 0.6.
His labs were significant for a white blood cell count of
13.6, platelets of 114, creatinine 2.7, serum glucose of 31,
and ABG of 7.21 per pH, PCO2 41, PO2 134. He received
bedside echocardiogram, which revealed normal LV function and
no valvular disease with a question of apical hypokinesis.
He was sent emergently to the cardiac catheterization lab,
which did not reveal any evidence of coronary artery disease.
His wedge was 22 mmHg, the cardiac output of 8 liters a
minute and cardiac index of 4.2; however, his CK level
increased from 450 at the outside hospital to 3835 on
admission to [**Hospital1 18**] leading to suspicion of rhabdomyolysis.
Following catheterization, the patient was admitted to the
MICU.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Genital herpes.
Muscle spasms on muscle relaxants at home.
OUTSIDE MEDICATIONS:
1. Muscle relaxant that the patient cannot remember the name
of.
2. Xanax p.r.n.
HOSPITAL MEDICATIONS:
1. Protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d.
2. Flagyl 500 mg p.o. b.i.d.
3. Levofloxacin 250 mg p.o. q. 48h.
4. Sevelamer 800 mg p.o. t.i.d.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is married. He lives with his
wife and a 1-year-old child. Child was left locked inside
when Mr. [**Known lastname 12967**] was found outside forcing police to break
down the door. VSS is involved in this case. The patient
works as an occupational therapist. His wife denies the
patient had any previous tobacco history or history of
alcohol use or recreational drug use. However, the patient
admits to having used cocaine for a total of 6 times as well
as a red pill and [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Location (un) 2452**] pill, which he is unable to
mention the names of.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Temperature maximum 99.6 degrees,
blood pressure 99-145 systolic over 60-74 diastolic. Heart
rate 75 to 97, respiratory rate 13 to 28. Oxygen saturation
91 to 95 percent on room air. The patient was overall 15
liters positive upon transfer to the medicine service.
Generally: Well-appearing, no apparent distress. HEENT:
Normocephalic, atraumatic. Head, no pharyngeal erythema or
exudate. Sclera anicteric. Neck: No JVD or
lymphadenopathy. Cardiac: Normal. Pulmonary: Normal.
Abdomen: Normal. Skin: No clubbing, cyanosis or edema.
Neurologically: Alert and oriented, mildly delayed recall
process. Cranial nerves intact. Visual fields full to
confrontation. No pronator drift. Negative Romberg's.
Rapid alternating movements intact. Touch and proprioception
intact. Motor strength 5/5 in all extremities.
LABORATORY DATA: From admission, white blood cell count
17.1, hematocrit 32.1, platelets 68. PTT 41.8, INR 3.7,
fibrinogen 106, haptoglobin less than 20. Chemistry profile
notable for a BUN of 15, creatinine is 7.9, glucose 104,
calcium 7.4, phosphorous 7.2, magnesium 1.8. LFTs notable
for an ALT of 2508, AST of 1871, LDH 1802, CK 6751, alkaline
phosphatase of 81, T-bili 1.2.
MICU course was complicated by persistent hypoglycemia
requiring 4 amp's of D50. He developed hypotension requiring
a Levophed infusion. His hematologic parameters continued to
degrade with his hematocrit dropping to 33.6 from 44, and his
platelets dropping to a low of 36,000 requiring a platelet
transfusion. His thrombocytopenia was complicated by the
development of coagulopathy with his INR increasing to a high
of 3.5. His fibrinogen dropping to 63 and D-dimer level
greater than 10,000, that was considered that this could be
TTP/HUS, given the initial fever, mental status change, acute
renal failure, and thrombocytopenia. However, the absence of
a microangiopathic process on blood smear argued for the
diagnosis of DIC instead. Chest radiograph showed evidence
of patchy opacities in the right upper lobe and left lower
lobe consistent with aspiration pneumonia. Infectious
Disease was consulted while in the ICU. He was placed on
Flagyl, vancomycin, and levofloxacin for presumed aspiration
pneumonia and Acyclovir for HSV meningitis given his acute
mental status changes. Additionally, renal consult and GI
consults were obtained while the patient was in the ICU and
as he had put out guaiac positive diarrhea and had rapidly
progressed to acute renal failure.
HOSPITAL COURSE WHILE ON FLOOR: Cardiac. The patient ruled
in for myocardial infarction by cardiac enzymes and by his
EKG changes consistent with that. However, his
catheterization was unrevealing in terms of evidence for
cardiac ischemia. The likely explanation was that this was
mostly likely a cocaine induced vasospasm causing myocyte
ischemia and death. His LV function was preserved according
to the echocardiogram.
Rhabdomyolysis. Given the patient's enormous increase in his
CK, the patient had evidence of heme-positive urine. Again,
this was mostly likely attributed to cocaine induced
rhabdomyolysis. Other possible etiologies could have been
virally induced or possibly related to the patient's status
of being found down. The patient's CK slowly began to trend
down with aggressive IV fluid hydration.
Acute renal failure. The patient had nonoliguric acute renal
failure. There was evidence of bloody-brown casts seen in
his urine, which is characteristic of ATN. The patient
maintained adequate urinary output without requiring
dialysis.
Liver dysfunction. The patient had evidence of hepatic
involvement to his multisystem organ failure. This is mostly
likely attributed to shock liver given his known development
of DIC and profound hypertension during his first hospital
day.
Coagulopathy. It is most likely attributed to DIC.
Hematology was consulted to assist in the management. There
is no evidence of schistocytes on peripheral smears.
Mental status changes. Although, the patient's mental status
changes seemed highly likely to be solely to his cocaine use.
It was also attributed to delirium and the onset of fever and
possible sepsis. This improved after antibiotic treatment
and IV fluid hydration. Uremia may have also contributed to
his mental status decline.
Hypoglycemia. The patient's initial metabolic derangements
were noted in the ICU, the thought was that the patient may
have had an adulterated form of cocaine with quinine, which
is apparently common and can cause protracted hypoglycemia.
Infectious disease. The patient was febrile without any
obvious source of infection, felt that this may be attributed
to the patient's atelectasis versus cytokine response to
muscle or liver necrosis. The patient although was
maintained on antibiotics for aspiration pneumonia.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: Acute myocardial infarction with
cardiac catheterization showing no occluded coronary
arteries.
Acute nonoliguric renal failure.
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
Rhabdomyolysis.
Hepatitis consistent with shock liver contributing diagnosis
include cocaine abuse.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: The patient is stable without oxygen
requirement, tolerating POs, mentating clearly.
DISCHARGE STATUS: The patient would be discharged to home.
MAJOR SURGICAL OR INVASIVE PROCEDURES PERFORMED: The patient
had cardiac catheterization. He was intubated and he had a
central line placement.
FOLLOW UP: The patient will follow-up with his PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 176**] 1
week. The patient will also follow-up with gastroenterology
for an elective colonoscopy given his history of bloody
diarrhea as an inpatient. Additionally, the patient will
follow-up with intensive outpatient treatment program for
substance abuse. The patient will have a follow-up renal
ultrasound and follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 4883**] nephrology to
monitor his renal function.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 62-year-old woman who
presented as an outpatient with left flank pain and a
20-pound weight loss over a 5-month period. A CT scan at
that time revealed a left renal mass with apparent tumor
thrombus in the left renal vein. A subsequent magnetic
resonance imaging scan confirmed this finding and also noted
that this mass extended into the vena cava. A CT of the head
and lungs, as well as a bone scan, did not demonstrate any
obvious metastatic disease; however, there were several lung
nodules which were not definitely excluded as representative
of metastatic disease.
After discussions with medical oncology and urology attending
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], it was determined that the patient would undergo
a left radical nephrectomy with excision of the tumor
thrombus in the vena cava as well as a perirenal lymph node
dissection.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the hospital on
[**2102-11-23**] and underwent an uncomplicated preoperative
embolization of the left renal artery in the Interventional
Radiology suite.
On [**11-24**], the patient went to the operating room and an
uncomplicated left radical nephrectomy with a left renal vein
tumor thrombectomy as well as a left periaortic lymph node
dissection.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and was transported
to the Postanesthesia Care Unit intubated, in stable
condition.
The patient's postoperative course was relatively uneventful
with the exception of a transient elevation of her bilirubin
thought to be secondary to a transfusion reaction from the
8 units of packed red blood cells that she received during
the operative procedure. The Pain Service was consulted to
manage postoperative pain.
Her medical oncologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1729**], was contact[**Name (NI) **] and a
fellow from medical oncology met with the patient to set up
follow-up appointments as an outpatient. By postoperative
day four her bowel function had returned, her diet was
advanced, and she was tolerating a regular diet by the day of
discharge. Her pain was well controlled, and she was
ambulating independently. Her bilirubin continued to
normalize, reaching a level of 2.7 from a high of 7.5 on the
day of discharge. Her alkaline phosphatase, however, was
slightly increased; again, thought to be secondary to
transfusion reaction. Amylase and lipase remained normal.
The patient's urine output throughout her postoperative
course was excellent.
The Pain Service came up with a regimen of a Fentanyl patch
with the addition or oral Dilaudid for breakthrough pain as
her outpatient regimen.
The patient was discharged on [**12-1**], postoperative seven,
afebrile with stable vital signs. The patient's pathology
report subsequently revealed renal cell carcinoma (a
clear-cell type, grade III) demonstrating invasion through
the capsule into the perinephric fat with venous invasion;
0/2 perihilar nodes were positive for malignancy; [**3-14**]
periaortic nodes were positive for malignancy.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Fentanyl patch 25-mcg q.72h.
2. Dilaudid 2 mg to 4 mg p.o. q.6h. p.r.n. for breakthrough
pain.
3. Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was stable.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: Renal cell carcinoma of the left kidney
with tumor thrombus into the vena cava, status post left
radical nephrectomy and left renal vein thrombectomy.

Brief Hospital Course:
In summary, Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 82M with CAD s/p CABG, systolic CHF
who presented with dyspnea on exertion for 3 days duration in
the setting of medication non-compliance. He was admitted to
the cardiac intensive care unit and showed significant
improvement with diuresis.
.
# Respiratory Distress: Patient's symptoms of dyspnea on
exertion, increased lower extremity edema and non compliance
with lasix suppported acute systolic CHF episode. CXR also
supported this with b/l pleural effusions and associated central
vascular congestion. Patient transferred from ED on venti mask.
There was less concern for pneumonia as no symptoms, fever or
elevated white count. Trigger of acute CHF was most likely med
non-compliance; there were no EKG changes to suggest ACS,
cardiac enzymes were never significantly elevated, and the
patient denied increase of salt in diet. Patient was on 60 mg po
BID lasix at home however was not taking it because of his
frustration with needing to urinate frequently while on the
medication. Pt did well with diuresis and fluid restriction and
was transfered to the floor after a couple days in the ICU. He
was discharged with an indwelling foley cath to help with his
urine output and medication non-compliance with a follow-up
appointment scheduled with urology.
.
# RHYTHM: Rate controlled atrial fibrillation. He was
supratherapeutic on his INR on admission therefore warfarin was
initially held. His outpatient Metoprolol was continued at 25mg
qd. He was discharged with instructions to follow up in
[**Hospital 2786**] clinic for titration of his warfarin dosing,
and to resume coumadin dose at 7mg on [**10-18**] and [**10-19**] and [**10-20**]
prior to [**Hospital 2786**] clinic visit.
.
# Coronaries: 3vd s/p CABG. His aspirin, statin and beta
blocker were continued as an inpatient. His lisinopril was held
given his acute renal failure.
.
# Acute renal failure: Hyaline casts on admission Ua were
concerning for poor perfusion. Creatinine elevated mildly from
baseline of 1.1, peaked at 1.5, then was downtrending prior to
admission with a discharge creatinine of 1.3. Meds were renally
dosed, electrolytes repleted and Lisinopril held. Would
recommend outpatient follow-up to ensure complete resolution of
his renal failure.
.
# HTN: his amlodipine was continued for hx of hypertension,
lisinopril held as noted previously.
.
# DM: treated with NPH and insulin sliding scale while inpatient
.
# Depression: his celexa and risperidone were continued in the
inpatient setting.
.
# Glaucoma: Brimonidine/Dorzolamide/Timolol were continued in
the inpatient setting.

No gross abnormality seen in the right renal bed. The left
kidney measures 9.7 cm. There is no hydronephrosis. There is a
small cyst in the mid-to-lower pole measuring up to 14 mm. There
is no overt solid mass. Probable extrarenal pelvis. No
hydronephrosis.
.
CHEST PORTABLE [**2147-4-17**] 2:02 AM
FINDINGS: Placement of right internal jugular venous catheter is
identified in the expected region of the mid SVC. No pleural
effusion or pneumothorax identified. Again noted is airspace
opacity within the right lower lobe.
IMPRESSION:
1. Normal placement of right internal jugular venous catheter
without pneumothorax identified.
2. Right lower lobe pneumonia as described previously.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a [**Age over 90 **] year-old man with history of dementia, cad,
diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency who presented
with mental status change, work up remarkable for HONK,
hypernatremia, pneumonia, UTI.
1)Mental Status change:
Multifactorial in secondary to hyperglycemia, hypernatremia,
pneumonia, metabolic derangements. The patient's mental status
returned to baseline once metabolic derangements and infections
were treated.
2)Endocrine:
The patient has an unclear history of DM, but not presently on
medications. Hyperosmolar state (HONK) likely precipitated by
pneumonia/UTI. He was given aggressive fluids with NS initially,
then changed to D5W since hypernatremia was not improving.
Briefly required an Insulin drip, added D5 when sugar <200,
converted to long-acting insulin on [**4-17**]. He was tapered to
standing NPH insulin, then later became hypoglycemic with
treatment of his infection. He was discharged on Humalog sliding
scale. Treatment with an oral antidiabetic [**Doctor Last Name 360**] should be
considered as an outpatient as Pt's Hgb A1C was 7.5 on
admission.
4)Acute on Chronic Renal Failure:
Pt is s/p L nephrectomy. Likely secondary to ATN in setting of
hypotension, hypovolemia. Pt's baseline Creatinine is 1.9
according to PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] improved from 3.8 to 3.0 with IV
fluids, but was in plateau phase for several days. Renal service
was consulted, renal ultrasound did not reveal hydroureter.
Gentle intravenous fluids continued to improved pt's Cr
clearance leading up until discharge. His medications were
renally dosed.
5) Heme:
Anemia consistent with AKD in combination with chronic kidney
disease. Guaiac negative. Renal recommended starting EPO q
M,W,F. Hematocrit was stable on serial checks.
6) Infectious Disease:
a) Pneumonia: required ICU admission
--vancomycin, ceftriaxone, levoquin initially - was changed to
vanc/zosyn on [**4-17**] for a health care associated pneumonia. He
should complete a full 14 day course of Vancomycin as his sputum
grew MRSA.
b) UTI--grew cipro and bactrim resistant E. Coli- 14 day course
of ceftriaxone for complicated UTI
c) [**Name (NI) 1069**] Pt developed copius diarrhea on HD #4, was started
on empiric Flagyl PO, C. diff x 2 negative. His stools
normalized following initiation of treatment. He should complete
a 14 day course following the last day of Vancomycin and
Ceftriaxone.
7) Suprapubic Catheter:
Pt was noted to have copious urine drainage from around his
suprapubic catheter, without evidence for skin infection.
Urology was consulted and recommended Tolteridine 1mg [**Hospital1 **] for
potential bladder spasm. He has a 24 Fr foley. There is no
further role for intervention except for continued monitoring to
assure his catheter flushed, dressed properly for good position
within the bladder.
8) Speech and Swallowing evaluation:
Recommended PO diet of soft solids with thin liquids, pills
crushed as allowable.
Aspiration precautions with 1:1 assist at meals.
Code Status: DNR/DNI per discussion with [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 284**]

Chief Complaint:
R eyelid drooping, slurred speech, Code Stroke
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intraarterial TPA thrombolysis
Right vertebral artery stent placement
History of Present Illness:
Pt. is a 57 year old with a history of Asthma, HTN,
Hyperlipidemia, tobacco abuse, who presents with eyelid drooping
and slurred speech. Code Stroke called at 3:33, Neurology at
the bedside by 3:38.
Pt. reports that she was at work this afternoon at 1:55 when she
suddenly noticed that her right eyelid was drooping, and she had
trouble keeping her eye open. Over the next 5-10 minutes her
symptoms progressed, and she also noticed that her left eye was
drooping and that the left side of her face was numb, like she'd
just gotten a novacaine shot there. She noticed that her speech
was slurred. She felt very dizzy, like the room was spinning.
She had double vision, which she thinks was vertical. She told
her co-workers and they called EMS, and she was transported
here.
Since she arrived here she feels that her speech has gotten more
slurred, and that she has developed trouble swallowing, and
feels like she is gagging on her secretions. She is not able to
open either eye enough to see. She still feels dizzy.
On ROS she denies any recent fever, chills, or URI symptoms.
She has had some dysuria in the past few days. She does not
remember any trauma to her head and neck. She just got home
from a vacation on Saturday, and was lugging her baggage around
the airport, and had a 3 hour flight. She denies any weakness
or numbness in her arms or legs.

Imaging
CTA Head and Neck with perfusion:
On the unenhanced scan, there is no evidence for acute ischemia
or hemorrhage.
On the CTP, there is no evidence for global perfusion defect in
the MCA territory. Preliminary evaluation of the CTA images
demonstrate what appears to be occlusion of the distal basilar
artery extending to the proximal right PCA artery. This area
also appears to be hyperdense on unenhanced CT. No definite
acute infarction in the brainstem or cerebellum is seen,
although
MRI evaluation would be recommended for further evaluation.
There is a 4.5-mm right lung apical nodule for which recommend
correlation with dedicated chest CT. The right distal vertebral
artery appears to taper to a thread and there is also a filling
defect in the V4 segment, suggesting of acute nonocclusive
thrombus. In light of this finding, the filling defect in the
distal basilar artery could represent an acute clot from the
right distal vertebral artery dissection rather than basilar
artery thrombosis in the setting of atherosclerotic basilar
artery disease.
IMPRESSION:
Preliminary images highly concerning for distal basilar artery
thrombosis. No definite acute infarction is seen in the
cerebellum or brainstem, but would recommend correlation with
MRI.
Repeat Head CT at 5:47:
HEAD CT WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no acute intracranial
hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of normally midline structures or
hydrocephalus. There is a hyperdense appearance of the distal
basilar artery which correspond to the area of thrombosis seen
on
prior CTA. The surrounding osseous and soft tissue
structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial hemorrhage. Hyperdense
appearance to the distal basilar artery consistent with recently
diagnosed thrombosis.
TTE [**2185-9-20**]
Conclusions:
The left atrium is normal in size. No atrial septal defect or
patent foramen ovale is seen by 2D, color Doppler or saline
contrast with maneuvers. The estimated right atrial pressure is
5-10 mmHg. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and
regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%)
Transmitral Doppler and tissue velocity imaging are consistent
with normal LV diastolic function. There is no ventricular
septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
regurgitation. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. The estimated pulmonary artery
systolic pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2183-8-1**], no
change. No source of embolism identified.
MR HEAD W & W/O CONTRAST [**2185-9-21**] 8:23 PM
MRI BRAIN: Areas of slow diffusion are seen in the pons right
greater than left, left superior cerebellum, and right
cerebellum. Also seen are infarcts in the left occipital lobe.
These correspond to areas of low diffusion coefficient on ADC
map, and probably represent acute infarction secondary to the
previous basilar thrombus. These findings are corroborated on
the FLAIR and T2 images. No other areas of cerebral infarction
are seen. Ventricles and sulci retain their normal caliber and
configuration. There is fluid in the sphenoid sinuses.
MR ANGIOGRAPHY HEAD: The basilar artery and posterior
circulation appear now patent. The internal carotid arteries,
Circle of [**Location (un) 431**] and major branches also appear patent.
Posterior cerebral arteries appear to be fed by the posterior
circulation; no definite posterior communicating arteries are
seen.
MR ANGIOGRAPHY NECK: The right vertebral artery has loss of
signal at its origin, which may be due to the recently placed
stent. However, due to artifact from the stent, we cannot assess
the possibility of a stenosis. Otherwise, the right vertebral
artery, left vertebral artery, right and left common and
internal carotid arteries are patent.
IMPRESSION: Reconstitution of flow in the basilar artery and
branches, with bilateral posterior circulation infarctions,
including the right cerebellum, left cerebellum, and pons.
CTA HEAD W&W/O C & RECONS [**2185-9-23**] 2:35 PM
HEAD CT:
There is a large infarct involving the right cerebellar
hemisphere and a small infarct involving the superior portion of
the left cerebellar hemisphere as well as small infarcts
involving the pons and midbrain. There are no intracranial
hemorrhages. The ventricles and extra-axial CSF spaces are
unchanged.
Air-fluid levels are seen within the sphenoid air cells
bilaterally. No suspicious bony abnormalities are noted.
CTA HEAD AND NECK:
A stent is seen at the origin of the right vertebral artery. The
intraluminal content is difficult to visualize due to the streak
artifacts from the stent but there appears to be contrast within
the lumen. The vertebral artery distal to the stent is widely
patent. The right vertebral artery is dominant. Incidental note
is made of a prominent right posterior meningeal artery arising
from the V3 segment of the right vertebral artery. The basilar
artery is patent.
There is minimal atherosclerotic disease involving the origin of
the left vertebral artery, which comes off directly from the
aortic arch. Minimal atherosclerotic disease at the origin of
the left subclavian artery is also noted.
Minimal calcified atherosclerotic plaques are seen involving the
bulbs of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally. The maximal
diameter of the left internal carotid artery at its bulb is 7
mm. The distal cervical left internal carotid artery has a
diameter of 4.6 mm. The right internal carotid artery bulb has a
diameter of 5.6 mm and the distal cervical right internal
carotid artery has a diameter of 5.8 mm.
Again seen is a 3 x 3 mm outpouching of the right supraclinoid
internal carotid artery which likely represents a posterior
communicating artery infundibulum.
No new occlusions or stenoses are seen.
There are several small nodular densities of the visualized lung
apices bilaterally some of which are peripheral. A dedicated
chest CT as previously recommended is again recommended.
Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are again seen with
multilevel foraminal stenosis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Stent at the origin of the right vertebral artery which makes
the evaluation of the intraluminal contents difficult due to
streak artifacts but there is some contrast within the lumen and
the vertebral artery distal to the stent is widely patent.
2. The basilar artery and its major branches are completely
patent.
3. A chest CT to further evaluate multiple small nodular
densities is again recommended.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 57 year old with a history of Asthma, HTN,
Hyperlipidemia, tobacco use, who presented with acute onset of
bilateral ptosis, diplopia, dsyarthria, dysphagia, and vertigo.
On initial exam she had evidence of a 3rd and 6th nerve palsy on
the R, and 3rd nerve palsy on the left, bilateral ptosis,
dysarthric speech, left nasolabial flattening, and L UMN pattern
weakness in the arm. These signs and symptoms were consistent
with brainstem localization for possible infarction.
On CTA she had evidence of a large basilar artery thrombus.
Since she was in the window for IVtPA and had no
contraindications to tPA, this was administered at 16:40 on
[**9-20**]. One hour later her course in the ED was complicated by
acute decompensation, with decreased level of arousal and
vomiting. She was acutely intubated and sedated, and Head CT
was repeated, which showed no evidence of hemorrhage. The most
likely cause of this deterioration was propagation of the
thrombus. She was rushed to the interventional radiology suite
where she underwent intra-arterial TPA thrombolysis.
Angiogram showed a severe narrowing of the proximal vertebral
artery on the left (atherosclerosis versus dissection). The mid
to distal portion of the basilar artery was closed and there was
thrombus that extended into both PCAs. A total dose of 11mg of
tPA was infused in the basilar artery and both PCAs. Limited
revascularization was achieved, but the basilar artery
successfully opened up. There was still some clot in the
proximal right PCA and SCA. A stent was placed in the right
proximal vertebral artery with return of good flow to the
basilar artery, and proximal portions of the SCAs and the
proximal PCAs
She has a history of several recent plane flights as well as
multiple vascular risk factors. She has a history of pulmonary
embolism in the distant past. She was admitted to the neuro ICU
following her several procedures and monitored. She was
successfully extubated without complication and trasferred to
the neurology floor. She was The cause of her infarct is
unknown at present, given her vascular risk factors (long time
smoker, HTN, hyperlipidemia) could consider atherosclerotic
plaque in the basilar with thrombosis. Could also consider a
cardioembolic source (though no known A fib)
Echocardiogram did not reveal PFO, ASD, or sources for
cardioemboli. She was started on aspirin 81mg daily 24 hours
following TPA administration. Her discharge examination was
notable for right eye ptosis and slight bilateral deficit of eye
abduction. A hypercoagulable work up will proceed with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
in follow up clinic at Vascular Neurology Center at [**Hospital1 18**]. She
was discharged to home with physical therapy services.
Chest CT is recommended at follow up for evaluation of multiple
small nodular densities seen incidentally on CTA of the neck.

Chief Complaint:
Prosthetic aortic valve fungal endocarditis
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
[**2149-10-8**] - Redo Sternotomy, Replace Ascending Aorta and
hemiarch, Reimplant anomalous right coronary artery, Aortic
annulus repair with pericardial patch.
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 51-year-old gentleman who underwent aortic valve
replacement with replacement of his ascending aorta in [**2148-11-23**]. He did quite well until [**2149-7-25**] when he started to
develop myalgias and fevers. A workup revealed fungal
endocarditis of this prosthetic aortic valve. Since that time,
he has been on intravenous antimicrobial therapy, and he
presents today for reoperative intervention.
His most recent echocardiogram was from today, which showed a
moderate-sized vegetation on his aortic valve that was trace AI,
trivial MR, and trivial TR. His ejection fraction was 55%. MRI
of his head showed no significant change of the laminar necrosis
and subacute infarct, and his abdominal CT scan showed a wedge-
shaped splenic infarction in the superior spleen.
Past Medical History:
Past medical history is significant for bicuspid aortic valve
and ascending aorta for which he underwent aortic valve
replacement with replacement of his ascending aorta on [**2148-11-23**]. His past medical history is also significant for
hyperlipidemia, varicose veins, and bilateral hernia repair as a
child. He has had embolic cerebral infracts and a splenic
infarct related to his fungal endocarditis.
Social History:
Patient is a cullinary arts professor [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] [**Location (un) **] of
[**Location (un) 3844**], and lives at home with his wife. [**Name (NI) **] denies
tobacco and IVDU. Denies EtOH use since [**Month (only) 116**]. Per prior notes,
patient has ingested unpasteurized milk, and has had contact
with horses.
Family History:
Significant for one aunt and one uncle with CVAs, and an aunt
with SLE.
Physical Exam:
Physical examination in my office today was pulse of 82,
respirations of 12, and a blood pressure of 90/48. In general,
he was a well-developed and well-nourished male in no acute
distress. He did appear mildly pale in color. His skin was
warm and dry. There was no cyanosis or clubbing. Venous stasis
changes were noted in both lower extremities. His oropharynx
was benign. His teeth were in good repair. His sclerae were
anicteric. His neck was supple with full range of motion.
There was no JVD. Both lungs were clear to auscultation
bilaterally.
Pertinent Results:
[**2149-10-7**] TEE
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. No
spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the
left atrium or left atrial appendage. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. Overall left ventricular systolic
function is normal (LVEF>55%). A bioprosthetic aortic valve
prosthesis is present. There is a moderate-sized vegetation on
the aortic side of the right cusp of the prosthetic aortic valve
measuring 0.9 x 0.7cm. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. [Due
to acoustic shadowing, the severity of aortic regurgitation may
be significantly UNDERestimated.] The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. No mass
or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. No masses or
vegetations are seen on the pulmonic valve, but cannot be fully
excluded due to suboptimal image quality. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Moderate-sized vegetation on the right cusp of the
prosthetic aortic valve. Normal left ventricular function. Trace
aortic regurgitation.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2149-9-4**],
the vegetation on the right cusp fo the aortic valve appears
larger. The 1cm mass on the ascending aortic graft lumen is not
well-visualized on the current study.
[**2149-10-8**] TEE
PRE-BYPASS:
1. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler.
2. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global
systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
3. The descending thoracic aorta is mildly dilated.
4. A bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis is present. There is
a moderate-sized vegetation on the aortic valve. Vegetation is
attached to the right and left coronary cusps.
5. An abscess pocket was noted near the sino-tubular junction
between the right and left coronary cusp just proximal to the
ascending aortic graft. Color flow was noted into this pocket
from the aortic root. Pocket measures 1 x 1.6 cm.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. No mass or
vegetation is seen on the mitral valve.
5. No masses or vegetations are seen on the tricuspid valve, but
cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality.
6. There is no pericardial effusion.
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**] was notified of results.
POST-BYPASS: For the post-bypass study, the patient was
receiving vasoactive infusions including Phenylephrine and
briefly on epinephrine. Pt is in a sinus rhythm.
1. A well-seated bioprosthetic valve is seen in the Aortic
position with normal leaflet motion and gradients (Peak gradient
= 20 mmHg). A mild central eccentric AI jet is seen directed
towards the Interventricular septum.
2. An ascending aortic graft is seen.
3. Biventricular function is preserved.
4. Other findings are unchanged.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2149-10-8**] for surgical
management of his fungal endocarditis. He was taken directly to
the operating room where he underwent a redo sternotomy with
replacement of his ascending aorta and hemiarch, replacement of
his aortic valve with a pericardial valve, remimplantation of
his anomalous right coronary artery and repair of his aortic
annulus with a pericardial patch. Please see operative note for
details. Postoperatively he was taken to the intensive care unit
for monitoring. His antifungals (voriconazole + Caspofungin) and
antibiotic (Ceftriaxone) were continued. On postoperative night,
Mr. [**Last Name (Titles) **] awoke and was found to have left sided upper
extremity weakness,left sided visual neglect, right upper
extremity myoclonus, and was not able to consistently follow
commands. He remained intubated over night.Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 914**] was
notified. POD#1 Mr.[**Known lastname **] [**Last Name (Titles) 66413**] appeared to be improving and
he was extubated. Neurology was reconsulted and during the
consultation, Mr [**Known lastname **] appeared to have tonic clonic seizure
activity; with new right sided weakness. He was reintubated to
protect his airway and a head CT scan was done. EEG performed
showed encephalopathy, no seizure activity. Phenytoin was
started. Also that morning his heart rhythm went into rapid
atrial fibrillation and he was treated with IV lopressor and
loaded with Amiodarone and placed on a drip. POD#2 Brain MRI
showed acute right frontal/parietal cortical infarct, in
addition to the previously noted old infarct. No anticoagulation
for AFib per Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 914**]. Neurology and Infectious Disease
followed Mr.[**Known lastname **] throughout his postoperative course. POD#2 he
was extubated and continued to show neurologic improvement with
deficit resolution. He continued to progress and on POD#4 was
transferred to step down unit for further monitoring and
recovery.His rhythm converted back to sinus with a 1'AVB, LBBB,
unchanged from postoperative EKG. Amio and beta-blocker
adjusted as HR and BP tolerated. [**10-8**] Tissue/Fungal Cxs growing
Scopulariopsis Brevicaulis (same as preop CXs), and ID sent Cx
to [**State **] for drug sensitivities. ABX continued per
ID recommendations with Voriconazole and Caspofungin. Discussed
with Infectious disease Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 438**] regarding Mr.[**Known lastname **] follow-up
and ABX course. He had a PICC inserted for IV Caspofungin for a
minimum 6 week course or per ID changes when sensitivities come
in. Voriconazole was changed to po dosing for discharge.
Mr.[**Known lastname **] is to follow-up with Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 438**] 3-4 weeks following
discharge and surveillance labs:LFTs, CBC, ESR,CRP,and
BUN/Creatnine are to be monitored weekly.As per neurolgy
recommendations,Mr.[**Known lastname **] is to follow-up with Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 78537**] in 2
months as an outpt. and to continue Dilantin until otherwise
advised.POD# 6 Mr.[**Known lastname **] was started on Keflex x 5 days for a
left forearm phlebitis. Mr.[**Known lastname **] continued to progress in his
recovery and on POD# 7 he was discharged to home with VNA/IV
ABX. All follow-up visits were advised.

HOSPITAL COURSE: (continued) the patient underwent cardiac
catheterization given the ambiguous cardiac enzymes results
as well as one episode of chest pain. The patient was found
to have proximal right coronary artery stenosis of 70%,
mid-right coronary artery stenosis of 99%, left main 40%
stenosis, proximal left anterior descending artery 100%
stenosis, mid-left anterior descending artery 80% stenosis,
and saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal graft 80% distal
stenosis. This particular region was where a new coronary
artery stent was placed.
Subsequent to the cardiac catheterization, the patient was
put on an Integrilin drip to help maintain patency of the
stent overnight. The patient was also started on 75 mg daily
of Plavix as well as continued on his daily aspirin.
Also during the patient's hospitalization, the patient noted
one episode which he described as shortness of breath. A
portable chest x-ray was ordered and the initial report of
the chest film indicated a possible left lobe pneumonia,
however, careful review of this x-ray with the previous one,
confirmed by radiology, revealed that the number of sternal
wires shown on the portable x-ray differed from the number of
sternal wires shown on previous as well as subsequent x-rays,
suggesting that perhaps the portable film was of another
film. For confirmation, a nonportable PA and lateral film of
Mr. [**Known lastname 2520**] was performed, which revealed clear lung fields.
Therefore, the patient was discharged without the diagnosis
of pneumonia and required antibiotic therapy.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
Celexa.
Aspirin 325 mg p.o.q.d.
Plavix 75 mg p.o.q.d. times one month.
Metoprolol 75 mg p.o.q.d.
Norvasc 10 mg p.o.q.d.
Imdur 60 mg p.o.q.d.
Tricor 54 mg p.o.q.d.
Procrit 5,000 units t.i.w.
Actos 45 mg p.o.q.d.
NPH insulin 18 units q.a.m., 8 units q. afternoon.
Regular insulin 4 units q.a.m. and 4 units q. afternoon.
Lasix 40 mg p.o.b.i.d.
Of note, upon discharge, the patient noted that he had an
appointment to be evaluated for placement of potential
arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis. Therefore, the
patient was instructed to hold his aspirin dose but continue
the Plavix until his appointment which was scheduled for
Tuesday, [**2192-8-21**].
Of note, during the patient's hospitalization, he also
underwent venous Doppler mapping of his antecubital fossas,
both left and right, to identify possible sites for an
arteriovenous fistula placement.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
Congestive heart failure exacerbation.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Stable.

Pertinent Results:
[**2171-8-12**] Intraop [**Month/Day/Year **]
PREBYPASS
The left atrium is elongated. No spontaneous echo contrast is
seen in the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage.
Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is mildly depressed however given degree of MR
LV intrinsic function may be worse. (LVEF= 50%). Right
ventricular chamber size is normal with normal free wall
contractility. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal
with good leaflet excursion. No aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is partial
posterior mitral leaflet flail likely at the junction of P1 and
P2. Torn mitral chordae are present. Moderate to Severe (3+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial effusion.
POSTBYPASS
LV systolic function now appears normal. RV systolic function
remains normal. There is a ring prosthesis in the mitral
position. No MR [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 48613**]. There is no mitral stenosis.
However [**Male First Name (un) **] of the MV leaflets is present. The [**Male First Name (un) **] is mild
however changes (worsens or improves SBP <90 vs SBP >130
respectively) depending on loading conditions. MR appears when
[**Male First Name (un) **] becomes significant. The remaining study is otherwise
unchanged from prebypass.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the hospital and brought to the
operating room on [**2171-8-12**] where the patient underwent mitral
valve repair with resection of
the middle scallop of the posterior leaflet and a mitral valve
annuloplasty with a 30-mm Future CG annuloplasty ring. Overall
the patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively
was transferred to the CVICU in stable condition for recovery
and invasive monitoring. POD 1 found the patient extubated,
alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. The patient was
neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable on no inotropic
or vasopressor support. Beta blocker was initiated. No
diuresis was initiated due to [**Male First Name (un) **] seen on intraop
echocardiogram. Echo was repeated to further evaluate this on
the day of discharge and the report was pending. The patient
was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery.
Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without
complication. The patient was evaluated by the physical therapy
service for assistance with strength and mobility. By the time
of discharge on POD 4 the patient was ambulating freely, the
wound was healing and pain was controlled with oral analgesics.
The patient was discharged home in good condition with VNA
services and appropriate follow up instructions.

History of Present Illness:
89 yo female with dementia transferred from [**Location (un) 620**] after being
found to have subdural hematoma with midline shift. Per nursing
home documentation it is believed the patient was assaulted by
another NH resident. She was brought to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] where she
was intubated for airway protection and transferred for
neurosurgery evaluation. Notably, pt had DNR in place. Per the
[**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] ED note the patient had no focal neurologic
findings prior to intubation. Neurosurgery recommended surgical
intervention, however, the family believes this is not
compatible with her goals of care. They are asking that the
patient be extubated and made comfort measures only.
In the ED her vitals were 97.6 131/64 63 100 vented. She
received a dilantin load and was sedated with fentanyl and

Images:
[**8-28**] CXR portable 1: The endotracheal tube is with tip
terminating just at the orifice of the right mainstem bronchus.
The lungs are clear. There are no pleural effusions or
pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal contours demonstrate tortuosity
of the thoracic aorta and mild cardiomegaly. Pulmonary
vascularity is normal. There are extensive degenerative changes
involving the thoracolumbar spine.
IMPRESSION: Endotracheal tube with tip just at the orifice of
the right
mainstem bronchus and can be withdrawn by 4 cm for more optimal
positioning.
[**8-28**] CXR portable 2: In comparison with the earlier study of
this date, the endotracheal tube has been pulled back so that
the tip lies approximately 2.7 cm above the carina. However, the
tube is directly positioned at the right wall of the trachea.
Remainder of the heart and lungs is essentially unchanged. There
has also been placement of a nasogastric tube. The side hole
appears to be just distal to the esophagogastric junction.
[**8-28**] CT C-spine
IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or malalignment. Multilevel
degenerative disease as noted above.
[**8-28**] CT HEAD
1. No interval change in the appearance of the left subdural
hematoma with stable 6-mm rightward midline shift.
2. Stable appearance of the bilateral nondisplaced nasal bone
fractures.
[**9-3**] CXR portable: The cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are
stable. There is prominence of right hilum. There has been
interval development of
retrocardiac opacity. No effusions or pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: Interval development of retrocardiac opacity. This
may represent atelectasis, although infection cannot be
excluded.
Brief Hospital Course:
89 yo female with dementia transferred from OSH for traumatic
SDH on [**2167-8-28**] and discharged on [**2167-9-4**].
# SDH: Ocurred in setting of trauma at her nursing home.
Neurosurgery initially recommended surgical intervention given
SDH>1cm. Pt's daughter (HCP) declined surgery given her mother
has not wanted aggressive medical interventions. Pt had a repeat
head CT 12 hrs after the first head CT which did not show
interval change. She was given dilantin load and kept on
dilantin TID for seizure ppx with the goal of BP maintained <
140. Following extubation, pt alert and interactive. Mental
status remains altered from baseline which certainly could be
related to SDH but is likely also a manifestation of delirium.
Patient will complete a 7 day course of dilantin to end at the
end of [**2167-9-4**]. SDH can be monitored clinically. Comfort
care is the goal per family.
# Intubation: Pt intubated at [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] for airway protection.
She was extubated on [**2167-8-29**] without complications. Pt has been
firmly DNR/DNI and per HCP would not want re-intubation.
# Aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia. While in the MICU, patient
was suspected to have aspiration pneumonia and was treated with
Unasyn [**2167-8-30**]- [**2167-9-2**]. She was placed on a dysphagia
diet. However, she had episodes of loose bowel movement, nausea
and vomiting with repeat CXR showing retrocardiac opacification,
suggesting aspiration pneumonia vs. pneumonitis. Discussion of
restarting antibiotics was made with patient's HCP, and she felt
strongly that her mother would prefer not to have escalation of
care at this point. No antibiotics was started. Patient's
respiratory symptoms and lowered O2 saturation was treated with
O2 supplement and morphine as needed. She tolerated well. This
can be monitored clinically. Discussion was made with family
regarding her diet, and daughter agrees to trials of oral food
at this time, knowing that she has increased risk of aspiration.
However, if patient continues to exhibit signs of aspiration,
will hold off on po food and readdress this with her family
about diet.
# Metabolic acidosis, noted on [**2167-9-3**] after the event
mentioned above. No additional monitoring was done after
discussion with family regarding goal of care.
# Acute renal failure, noted on [**2167-9-3**] after the event
mentioned above, likely result of nausea, vomiting, and loose
bowel movement. She was given continuous IV fluid. No
additional monitoring was done after discussion with family
regarding goal of care.
# Hypertension. This is patient's baseline. However, she was
given lisinopril and amlodipine for blood pressure control when
she was able to tolerate oral medications. Her medications were
switched to IV metoprolol on [**2167-9-3**] given symptoms of nausea
and vomiting. She may resume the oral medications as she
transition to hospice.
# Dementia: Held Namenda and celexa given altered mental status
while she was in the hospital. Patient may continue to take her
regular home medications.
# Goals of care: HCP, [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 9063**] feels strongly that her mother
should not have aggressive medical interventions and is
transitioning her mother to a long term facility with hospice.
Would highly recommend on-going discussion with family about not
rehospitalize should Ms. [**Known lastname 22958**] condition deteriorates or to
re-aspirate.

Facility:
[**Last Name (un) 14710**] House (Hospice Home) - [**Location (un) 620**]
Discharge Diagnosis:
Traumatic subdural hematoma
End-stage dementia
Aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia
Acute renal failure
Metabolic acidosis
Hypertension
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Confused - always.
Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable.
Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or
wheelchair.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] for
bleeding into the brain (subdural hemorrhage). You were
evaluated by neurosurgery who recommended nonoperative
management with medicines instead of surgery and follow up CT
head in 4 weeks.
While in the hospital, there was a concern of pneumonia acquired
from aspiration. You were treated with a a course of antibiotic
for this possible infection. Later, you had episode of nausea
and vomiting with lab results showing inflammatory response. A
repeat chest X ray shows that there could be inflammation in the
lung from the vomit or a pneumonia, but after a lengthy
discussion with your daughter, it was decided not to restart
another course of antibiotics because of the transition into
comfort care.
Your diet was discussed with your daughter, and it was thought
that you can try to have food, but if you again show signs of
aspiration, this will need to be address again with your
daughter.
Please note the following changes in your medications:
- Please START Dilantin 100 mg, suspension, by mouth, twice a
day through [**2167-9-4**], which would be the completion of a 7 day
course seizure prophylaxis.
- Please START acetaminophen 500 mg tab, 1-2 tabs, by mouth,
every 6 hours as needed for pain.
- Please START quetiapine (Seroquel) 12.5 mg, 0.5 tab of 25 mg
tab, by mouth, at bed time as needed for agitation.
- Please INCREASE amlodipine to 10 mg, 2 tabs of the 5 mg tabs,
by mouth, once a day.
- Please STOP Aspirin 81 mg, 1 tab, by mouth, once a day,
because of the bleeding in your head.
- Please DECREASE lisinopril to 40 mg, 1 tab, by mouth, once a
day.
- Please START morphine 0.25 mL (5 mg), by mouth or under the
tongue every 4 hours as needed for severe pain or
breathlessness.
- Please START lorazepam 1 mg, by mouth, every 6 hours as needed
for anxiety or agitation
- Please START atropine 1% drops, 2 drops, under the tongue,
ever 4 hours as needed for secretions.
You can ask the hospice staff to assit you with symptom
management.
Followup Instructions:
Because of your goal to hospice care, no follow-up appointment
is made. However, if you feel strongly about following up with
neurosurgery, you may arrange a follow up with neurosurgery
([**Telephone/Fax (1) 88**] in 4 weeks and requset that a CT of the head be
scheduled.

STAPH AUREUS COAG +. FINAL SENSITIVITIES.
Consultations with ID are recommended for all blood
cultures
positive for Staphylococcus aureus and [**Female First Name (un) 564**] species.
Staphylococcus species may develop resistance during
prolonged
therapy with quinolones. Therefore, isolates that are
initially
susceptible may become resistant within three to four
days after
initiation of therapy. Testing of repeat isolates may
be
warranted.

**FINAL REPORT [**2118-1-7**]**
MRSA SCREEN (Final [**2118-1-7**]):
POSITIVE FOR METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPH AUREUS.
[**2118-1-6**] 4:03 pm CATHETER TIP-IV Source: Left femoral HD
line.
**FINAL REPORT [**2118-1-8**]**
WOUND CULTURE (Final [**2118-1-8**]): No significant growth.
[**2118-1-5**] CXR:
IMPRESSION:
1. Right lower lobe opacity, similar to the prior examinations;
however, new pneumonia or underlying pulmonary lesion cannot be
excluded. Recommend
follow-up to resolution after appropriate treatment. Small right
pleural
effusion.
2. Slightly more cranial position of a femoral catheter with its
tip in the right atrium.
[**2118-1-6**] ECHO:
The left atrium is dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
and cavity size are normal. There is moderate regional left
ventricular systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the inferior
septum, inferior and inferolateral segments. There is no
ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The aortic root is mildly dilated
at the sinus level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The
aortic arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Mild (1+)
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. No masses or vegetations are seen on the
mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal
image quality. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
If clinically suggested, the absence of a vegetation by 2D
echocardiography does not exclude endocarditis.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2117-9-6**],
pulmonary artery pressures can be estimated on the current study
and are mildly elevated. The wall motion abnormalities and other
findings are similar.
[**2118-1-6**] FEMORAL ULTRASOUND:
IMPRESSION:
1. No pseudoaneurysm, or fluid collections. There is an enlarged
lymph node within the right groin.
2. Clotted AV graft within the right leg, present on prior CT
examination.
[**2118-1-6**]
IMPRESSION:
Successful removal of a tunneled right common femoral
hemodialysis catheter. The tip was sent for culture.
[**2118-1-11**]
PFI: Successful placement of non-tunneled left femoral
hemodialysis catheter, with tip in the IVC, 24 cm in length,
ready to use. After resolution of hyperkalemia, the patient
should return to interventional radiology for conversion to a
tunneled line.
Brief Hospital Course:
59M with ESRD on HD with tunnelled femoral line, recent
prolonged hospital admission with MSSA bacteremia and lung
abscesses, presents w/ fever and hypotension later found to be
[**1-25**] MSSA.
.
# Hypotension: Patient initially admitted to MICU with
significant hypotension, but resolved upon arrival after
receiving IVF boluses. The most likely etiology of his
hypotension was bacteremia. He grew [**3-27**] sets of positive blood
cultures of MSSA on arrival. His hypotension resolved quickly.
He maintained his blood pressures throughout his
hospitalization. He never required pressors during his MICU
course.
.
# Bacteremia: Patient was initially febrile and hypotensive. He
was found to have 4 sets of MSSA positive blood cultures. The
most likely source was his HD line. He was treated with
vancomycin initially, then transitioned to cefazolin once
sensitivities were back. His femoral dialysis catheter was
removed, and after a line holiday of 5 days, the patient had a
permanent tunnelled left groin dialysis catheter placed without
any difficulty. His CXR also was initially concerning for
possibly a PNA, but the findings were stable since his last
hospitalization. The patient will continue on cefazolin at HD
until [**2-6**]. ID would like weekly CBC w/ differential and LFTs
faxed to [**Hospital **] clinic nurses at ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 1353**]. All questions
regarding outpatient antibiotics should be directed to the
when clinic is closed.
.
# ERSD on HD: Renal was following and received dialysis during
this hospitalization as needed. The patient will continue on his
MWF HD as an outpatient. Will continue calcium carbonate,
lanthanum, sevelamir and renal diet.
# Seizure disorder: Will continue home oxcarbazepine and kepra.
.
# Chronic systolic CHF: As it was unclear why the patient was
not on an ace inhibitor prior to admission, he was started on
lisinopril 10mg daily. A statin was also started while he was
hospitalized, and his digoxin and aspirin were continued. The
patient has cardiology follow up arranged.

Chief Complaint:
Chest pressure
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Cardiac catheterization with balloon angioplasty to total
occlusion of OM 1 coronary artery-this failed to open the vessel
History of Present Illness:
69 y/oF with type 2 DM, [**Hospital **] transferred to the CCU following
NSTEMI c/b dissection of OM2 during attempted angioplasty.
Patient was in her normal state of health until this am when she
developed acute onset chest pressure that awoke her from sleep
at 6am. Describes retrosternal chest pressure accompanied by
tachycardia and headache. No associated dyspnea, diaphoresis,
N/V or any other associated symptoms. Per patient recording,
systolic blood pressure was in 200s. When symptoms did not
after approx 1-2 hrs, patient called PCP who told her to come to
the ED.
In the ED, initial vitals were T97 P79 BP186/113 RR16 SaO100%.
Patient given ASA 325mg and SLN x 3 which brought pain from [**8-26**]
to [**3-26**] but also caused hypotension to SBP of 74. EKG showed
old LBBB with no other evident ST changes, CXR wnl. Initial
labs remarkable for Cr of 1.3, trop 0.04. Due to uniterpretable
EKG in the setting of elevated cardiac enzymes, patient taking
emergently to cardiac catheterization. Prior to cath, started
on heparin gtt and plavix loaded.
Catheterization showed diffuse atherosclerosis with likely acute
occlusion of left circumflex OM2, and significant stenoses in
distal LAD and Diag 1. Angioplasty of OM2 branch was
complicated by dissection (no evidence of perforation) and
attemts to stent thrombosed area were aborted. Following
catheterization, patient had residual [**2-26**] chest discomfort with
unchanged EKG. She was admitted to the CCU for further
observation.
On review of systems, she complains of intermittent uncontrolled
blood pressure for the for the past 2 yrs with BP as high as
200s. These episodes are accompanied by flushing, headaches and
tachycardia. Thorough evaluation revealed renal artery stenosis
with normal urinary metanephrines and aldosterone. She is
currently followed by a nephrologist with no planned
intervention. Of note, despite hyperlipidemia, patient is not
maintained on a statin. She previously tolerated atorvostatin
but when she was changed to simvastatin for insurance purposes,
she developed dark urine. As this was a listed side effect on
the back of the bottle, patient decided to see d/c meds.
Otherwise, she denies any prior history of stroke, TIA, deep
venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of
surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools
or red stools. Denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. Denies
exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the other review of
systems were negative.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain,
dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea,
ankle edema, syncope or presyncope.

ECG [**2122-4-1**]:
Sinus rhythm. Borderline P-R interval prolongation. Left
bundle-branch block.
CXR [**2122-4-1**]:
FINDINGS: Single frontal view of the chest was obtained. Right
infrahilar/perihilar opacity most likely relates to slight
prominence of the vasculature, although an underlying minimal
consolidation cannot be entirely excluded. Lingular
atelectasis/scarring is noted. The remainder of the left lung is
clear. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. Cardiac and
mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable.
Cardiac Cath [**2122-4-1**]:
1. Selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system
demonstrates two vessel coronary artery disease. The left main
contains
an ostial 30% lesion. There is a twin LAD system wtih a 90%
lesion in
the mid-portion of hte vessl. The first diagonal goes to the
apex and
has an 80% lesion. The circumflex artery is free of
angiographically
apparent flow limiting disease but a small OM2 branch is totally
occluded.
2. Limited resting hemodynamics demonstarte moderate systemic
hypertension.
3. Partially successful PTCA only of the proximal OM2 total
occlusion.
(see PTCA comments)
4. R 6Fr femoral artery Angioseal closure device deployed
without
complications. (see PTCA comments)
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Severe three vessel artery disease: see comments
2. Moderate systemic hypertension
3. Partially successful PTCA only of the proximal OM2 total
occlusion.
(see PTCA comments)
4. ASA indefinitely; plavix (clopidogrel) 600 mg bolus given in
cath lab
and 75 mg daily with plan for LAD and DIAG revascularization to
be
pursued by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] [**Name (STitle) 33746**], interventional cardiology
attending.
5. Plan for CCU observation/medical management at this time
ECHO [**2122-4-2**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. There is mild
regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with mild basal
inferolateral hypokinesis. The remaining segments contract
normally (LVEF = 55%). The right ventricular cavity is mildly
dilated with mild global free wall hypokinesis. The ascending
aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
stenosis or aortic regurgitation. Trivial mitral regurgitation
is seen. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Minimal regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction, c/w CAD. No clinically-significant valvular disease
seen.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is a 69 y/oF with type 2 DM, [**Hospital **] transferred to the CCU
following NSTEMI c/b carotid dissection of OM2 during attempted
angioplasty.
# CORONARIES: Patient presented with chest pressure. EKG showed
NSEMI. She was sent to the cath lab and then admitted to the CCU
s/p NSTEMI c/b OM2 dissection during attempted angioplasty.
Cardiac catheterization revealed diffuse 3-vessel disease with
significant stenoses in the distal LAD and diag. Patient had
peristent low-grade chest discomfort after cath but no signs of
significant complication from dissection including perforation.
On discharge, she was chest pain free. She was treated with
aspirin, plavix, metoprolol, and was started on atorvastatin.
She was
not given heparin in the setting of her dissection. Her CK
peaked at 1052 on the am of [**2122-4-2**]. Patient plans to undergo
elective PCI for treatment of her LAD lesion although at the
time of discharge, she was still considering the possibility of
CABG.
# PUMP: Patient remained euvolemic with no signs of congestive
heart failure. Her echo showed mild basal inferolateral
hypokinesis with EF >55%.
# Renal Artery Stenosis: appears to be etiology of episodic
uncontrolled blood pressure with no planned intervention per
outpatient nephrologist. Was previously tolerated high-dose
ACEI although Cr elevated to 1.3 from unknown baseline (1.1 in
[**3-/2121**]) upon admission. Her creatinine remained stable and she
was restarted on her home dose of lisinopril 40 mg po daily.
.
# Hypertension: Patient presented to the ED with hypertensive
emergency with BP 200/120, MI and headache. Her chest pressure
improved with improvement in her BP. She was continued on
metoprolol, hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril.
# Type 2 DM: Patient's A1C was 6.5, close to baseline. She was
only using metformin intermittently. She will discuss restarting
this medication with her PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] was continued on a diabetic
diet and humalog sliding scale while admitted.
#Anemia: Patient was admitted with normal HCT at 41.1 which then
trended as follows: 41.1->35.2-> 36-> 33.9. There were also
decreases in her other cell counts (platelets, WBC). She should
have a repeat CBC done as an outpatient.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Non ST elevation myocardial infarction
Renal artery stenosis
Hypertension
Diabetes Mellitus type 2
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You had a heart attack and needed a cardiac catheterization to
assess your heart arteries for blockages. One artery was thought
to have caused the heart attack and was opened with a balloon.
There was a small tear called a dissection that has not caused
any complications. No stents were placed. You had some chest
pain after the procedure and a medicine called isosorbide
mononitrate was started to prevent more chest pain. This will
cause a headache but you should speak to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 19**] if the
headache is not relieved by tylenol. The plan is for you to
return for another procedure to fix additional blockages in your
coronary arteries.
.
We made the following changes to your medicines:
1. Start Isosorbide mononitrate to prevent chest pain.
2. Start nitroglycerin under your tongue if you have chest pain
similar to the pain during your heart attack. You can take up to
2 tablets 5 minutes apart but please call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 19**] right away if
you have any chest pain and take nitroglycerin. Call 911 if you
take two nitroglycerin tablets and you still have chest pain.
3. Start taking Atorvastatin 80 mg to lower your cholesterol
4. Start taking Plavix to prevent blood clot formation in your
coronary arteries
5. Continue to take Lisinopril, aspirin, hydrochlorothiazide and
metoprolol as before.

small associated subdural/epidural hematoma as described above.
Final Attending Comment:
There is a fracture of the left frontal bone and on image 36, a
tiny bony
fragment appears to have been displaced into the brain.
Repeat head CT [**2134-3-23**]
IMPRESSION: Unchanged left frontal hematoma with overlying
frontoparietal
skull fracture and scalp hematoma. Unchanged smaller more
inferior
extra-axial left frontal hematoma.
CT cervical spine [**2134-3-23**]
IMPRESSION:
1. No fracture or subluxation.
2. Extensive soft tissue stranding/hemorrhage in the left
supraclavicular
region which may relate to recent attempt at central venous
access (no
clavicular fracture is seen); correlate clinically.
Brief Hospital Course:
She was admitted to the Trauma service and taken to the
operating room emergently for
incision debridement repair of biceps and soft tissue defect
left upper arm irrigation and debridement closure of open skull
fracture with 12 cm scalp laceration.
Postoperatively she was taken to the Trauma ICU where she
remained sedated and intubated for several days. She was
eventually extubated without any difficulty.
Neurosurgery was consulted for the epidural/subdural frontal
hemorrhage. She was placed on Dilantin which will continue for a
7 day course as prophylaxis for seizures. Repeat head CT scans
remained stable. Neurologically she is alert and oriented x2 for
the most part; some difficulty intermittently with remembering
where she is. She has been able to follow commands and answer
simple questions appropriately. She was eventually transferred
to the regular nursing unit.
She was evaluated by Plastics for her left metacarpal fracture;
this was managed nonoperative with a ulnar splint and she will
follow up in [**Hospital 3595**] clinic in about a week after discharge.
Orthopedics was consulted for her left clavicle fracture, this
was also managed nonoperative with a sling. She is to remain non
weight bearing on her left arm and will follow up in 2 weeks in
orthopedics clinic.
On HD #5 she was noted to complain of blurred vision with
intermittent diplopia; an Ophthalmology consult was placed and
it was felt that she had a traumatic 6th nerve palsy and no
operative intervention was warranted.
Physical and Occupational therapy were consulted and have
recommended acute rehab after her hospital stay. The screening
process was initiated and discharge plans were underway.
Social work was consulted for coping and emotional support.

[**2165-9-13**] and then in Afib RVR peri-op.
.
# Afib RVR: Pt was in Afib RVR, HR in 130-140s, subsequently
rate controlled with IV Metoprolol doses PRN then, switched to
50mg PO BID. Also, anticoagulation with heparin gtt was started,
but given the recent surgery was very cautious (no bolus, PTT
goal of 50-70 and q3h checks). Pt was started back on Coumadin
which was held for the surgery. Daily INRs were checked and
Coumadin dose was adjusted accordingly. Although
TEE/cardioversion was initially considered, this pt's current
Afib is likely [**12-31**] to stress from recent surgery and period off
her home Sotalol. Given recent surgery of neck and temporal
area, head cannot be extended and a TEE may be putting the pt at
risk in regards to the surgery. Thus, rate-control with Sotalol
(120mg [**Hospital1 **]) and Metoprolol (50mg [**Hospital1 **]) and bridging to Coumadin
for anticoagulation was pursued. Once pt is therapeutic on INR
for 3-4 weeks, can consider cardioversion (with no need for TEE)
at that time if pt is still in Afib. Meanwhile, pt
spontaneously converted to NSR, thus Heparin gtt was
discontinued. Coumadin was continud however and pt was
discharged on home dose, to be followed up with INR check soon.
.
# S/P melanoma excision: Left temporal melanoma resection,
parotidectomy, left neck dissection and flap reconstruction were
performed by Plastics on [**2165-9-13**]. pt tolerated surgery well.
Flap checks were performed every 4 hours. Pt is to be in soft
diet for 2 weeks. Left forearm had xeroform/kerlex dressing
changed daily. Left thig area has Xeroform that is left to open
air, does not need changing. No head extension or full turning
to the left. JP drain remained for a few days, was taken out
eventually. Ancef was given as long as JP drain was in.
.
# DMII: Pt is diet controlled at home, no meds. Pt was
maintained on insulin sliding scale. Fingersticks were checked
4x/day.
.
# HTN: Was well-controlled, not on home HCTZ currently. Can be
restarted as outpatient.
.
# Arthritis: Was stable, with pain well-controlled on
Percocet. Pt did well with physical therpy, needs more
conditioning at a rehab facility.
.
# Anemia: Hct was 39 pre-op on [**9-6**], has been in 25-28 range
since [**9-13**]. Pt is asymptomatic, hemodynamically stable.
Required no tranfusions.
.
# Pt was on a diabetic diet. For DVT ppx, pt was initially on
Heparin gtt, bridging to Coumadin, however once Heparin gtt
stopped and Coumadin was still not therapeutic, started SC
Heparin. Pain management was with Percocet and bowel regimen
was with Docusate, Senna, Bisacodyl. Pt was full code.

Chief Complaint:
shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Pacemaker placement
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Name13 (STitle) 14077**] is a 77-year-old man with CAD s/p CABG (LIMA-LAD,
RIMA-RCA, SVG-OM in [**2089**]) and PCI (DES to SVG-OM in [**2106**]),
multiple atrial arrhythmias and tachybrady syndrome s/p multiple
ablations and pacemaker placement in [**2106**], chronic systolic
heart failure, stage IV CRF, recently admitted in [**12/2113**] for CHF
exaceration who presents for CHF management prior to BiV
pacemaker upgrade on [**2114-1-22**].
.
Per Dr.[**Name (NI) 1565**] [**2114-1-17**] note Mr. [**Name13 (STitle) 14077**] has had increasing
cardiac dysfunction primarily due to cardiac dyssynchrony
secondary to chronic ventricular pacing. His ejection fraction
has over the past four years progressively gone from normal to
about 40% with measurements of synchrony being distinctly
abnormal. He has hypokinesis of his septum, which is primarily
related to his pacemaker. He has increasing fluid retention and
inability to get the fluid to his kidneys and perfuse them well.
An attempt to decrease the fluid accumulation and increasing
Lasix has caused the deterioration of his kidney function, such
that his BUN is 101 and creatinine 3.2 with concurrent
hypokalemia and hypochloremia despite the concomitant use of
Aldactone. Decision made to place BiV pacemarker in attempt to
improve cardiac function and secondarily increase his renal
perfusion.
.
On direct presentation from home patient reports ~5lb weight
gain with abd distension since [**1-17**] appt. No changes made to
medications, no dietary or medications non-complinance. Denies
any worsening peripheral edema; stable 2 pillow orthopnea, no
PND, no palpitations.
.
Patient admitted on [**1-20**]; BiV unable to be placed on [**1-22**] due to
technically difficult therefore epicardial leads placed on [**1-23**].
Intra-op recevied received total of 15cc contrast. Patient
underwent procedure successfully. Placed on coumadin and hep
gtt. Patient received a dose of vanco during procedure; keflex
continued x2days post. Post-operative course complicated by
acute renal failure, nephrology consulted deterioration in
function secondary to poor forward flow.
.
Of note on night prior to transfer patient s/p mechanical fall
while walking - denies any preceding dizziness, chest pain,
palpitations.
.
Current cardiac review of systems: denies dizziness, chest
pressure, shortness of breath, stable abdominal distention.
Denies diaphoresis, n/v.
.
On review of systems, reports pain at operative when coughing,he
reports prior history of stroke, GI bleed in the setting of ASA,
plavix; denies bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint
pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. he denies
recent fevers, chills or rigors. He denies exertional buttock or
calf pain. All of the other review of systems were negative.

Studies
TTE: [**1-23**]
1. No spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the body of the left
atrium or left atrial appendage.
2. No spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the body of the right
atrium. A small mobile echodense mass associated with a pacing
wire is seen in the right atrium near the interatrial septum.
3. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler.
4. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal.
There is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
with dyskinesis of the apical anteroseptal and inferoseptal
walls, and severe hypokinesis of the mid septum. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (LVEF= 45 %).
5. Right ventricular chamber size is normal with borderline
normal free wall function and focal hypokinesis of the apical
free wall.
6. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. There are simple atheroma in
the aortic arch. The descending thoracic aorta is mildly
dilated. There are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic
aorta.
7. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. No aortic
regurgitation is seen.
8. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild to
moderate ([**12-10**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
9. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
10. There is a very small pericardial effusion.
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**] was notified in person of the results at the time of
the study.
.
CXR [**1-25**]
Right jugular line ends in the region of the superior cavoatrial
junction, as before. As far as one can tell from a frontal view
alone, the right atrial lead ends low in the right atrium and
right ventricular lead along the floor of the right ventricle.
Two epicardial leads projecting over the left heart border are
unchanged since [**1-23**]. That procedure was presumably
responsible for new small left pleural effusion. Pulmonary edema
has resolved since [**1-24**], and lung volumes have improved.
Mild cardiomegaly is unchanged, and there is no pneumothorax.
.
TTE:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses and cavity size are normal. There is mild global
left ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 45 %). Dyssnchrony is not
visually apparent. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an increased
left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with borderline normal free
wall function. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is
moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular cavity size with mild global
hypokinesis. Moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
Increased PCWP.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2114-1-22**], left
ventricular systolic dysfunction appears more diffuse/global and
the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is highe
Brief Hospital Course:
[**Last Name (un) 14077**] is a 77-year-old man with CAD s/p CABG (LIMA-LAD,
RIMA-RCA, SVG-OM in [**2089**]) and PCI (DES to SVG-OM in [**2106**]),
multiple atrial arrhythmias and tachybrady syndrome s/p multiple
ablations and pacemaker placement in [**2106**], CKD, and chronic
systolic heart failure s/p epicardial lead placement via left
mini-thoracotomy w/St.[**Male First Name (un) 923**] pacer [**2114-1-23**] with hospital course
complicated by acute on chronic renal failure.
.
# Chronic systolic CHF: EF ~50 via [**12-19**] TTE. Patient is s/p
epicardial lead placement on [**1-23**]. Hypothesized that patients
worsening CHF symptoms secondary to ventricular dyssynchrony and
placement of placemarker will improve forward flow and improve
symptoms. Post-procedure patient with persistent volume
overload. Patient intermittently diuresised with IV Lasix with
good response. Patient transitioned to PO Lasix on [**1-30**] with
continued diuresis (~1L/day). Patient discharged on Lasix 60mg
PO BID, spironlactone 25mg QD and Metalozone 2.5mg PO every
tuesday and friday. Patient continued on metoprolol XL. Repeat
TTE demonstrated stable EF ~45% with ventricular synchrony.
Surgical site clean, intact with no sign of infection at time of
discharge - patient completed 7 day course of Keflex.
1. Monitor weights daily, adjust diuretics as needed for volume
optimization.
2. Monitor surgical site, wound care as needed
.
# Acute on chronic kidney failure, stage 4. Baseline creatinine:
2.7-3.0. On admission patient's creatinine 3.4. After diuresis
creatinine improved to 3.0. After procedure, creatinine peak to
4.0 on [**1-25**]. Etiology of [**Last Name (un) **]: poor perfusion secondary to poor
forward flow vs contrast-induced nephropathy (however patient
received minimal dye load) vs AIN in setting of ppx Abx. Urine
and differential without eosinophilia. Renal consulted -
hypothesized that elevation secondary to poor forward flow and
recommended to continued diuretic use. Patient maintained good
UOP throughout stay. Creatinine at time of discharge: 3.9.
OUTPATIENT ISSUES:
1. Monitor creatinine regularly and I/O.
.
# CORONARIES: Patient with history of CAD. Last cardiac
catheterization [**2106**] with stenting of SVG to OM. Due to h/o GI
bleed not currently on ASA, Plavix. Patient cites 2-3x weekly
exertional angina as well as infrequent episodes of angina at
rest. Patient with 1/11 Stress echo: Rest and stress perfusion
images reveal decreased tracer uptake in the anterior apical
region on both stress and rest images with associated apical
wall motion abnormality. Patient monitored on telemetry without
event and continued on beta-blocker.
OUTPATIENT ISSUE:
1. Monitor exertional symtoms and ascert need to repeat stress.
.
# RHYTHM. Patient with history multiple atrial arrhythmias:
atrial fib/flutter, tachybrady syndrome s/p multiple ablations
and PPM in [**2106**].
- Rate control. Patient was monitored on telemetry and remained
in normal sinus for majority of stay with occassional reversion
into atrial fibrillation. Rates consistently 50-70s.
- Anticoagulation. CHADS 6. Patient maintained on lovenox daily
when INR subtherapeutic. Continued on coumadin. INR at time of
discharge:
OUTPATIENT ISSUES:
1. Monitor on telemetry for arrhytmias.
.
# H/o CVA with bilateral lacunar infarcts in [**2100**] with residual
left paresthesias and gait dysfunction. Neuro exam monitored.
Patient ambulated without problems with the assistance of a
walker.
.
# IDDM. Continue home regimen of lantus, humalog with meals and
ISS
.
# OSA. Home CPAP continued.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr [**Last Name (Titles) 14077**], it was a pleasure taking care of you
.
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] for optimization of volume status
prior to Biventricular pacemarker placement. Unfortunately the
initial attempt to place the pacemarker was unsuccessful and the
decision was made to place your pacemarker surgically. You did
well after the surgery.
.
At time of discharge it was determined that you would benefit
greatly to participating in a cardiac rehab program to optimize
your cardiac function after hospitalization.
.
CHANGES TO YOUR MEDICATIONS
Stay taking metalozone every tuesday and FRIDAY.

Studies:
CXR [**2163-9-20**]: No significant change from [**2163-9-9**] radiograph, with
cardiomegaly, pulmonary vascular congestion and bilateral
pleural effusions again noted. Left lower lobe opacity is
compatible with atelectasis and/or pneumonia.
TTE [**2163-9-21**]: The left atrium is moderately dilated. The left
atrium is elongated. The right atrium is moderately dilated.
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal
cavity size. The right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated
There is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right
ventricular pressure/volume overload. The ascending aorta is
mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No masses or
vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. An
eccentric, posteriorly directed jet of Moderate (2+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. Due to the eccentric nature of the
regurgitant jet, its severity may be significantly
underestimated (Coanda effect). Moderate [2+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with
the prior study dated [**2163-9-8**] (images reviewed), the degree of
pulmonary pressures is much lower (likely underestimated as the
IVC was not well visualized). No vegetations or abscesses
visualized.
TEE [**2163-9-22**]: No vegetations seen on the cardiac leaflets. No mass
or vegetation seen on the cardiac wires. Simple atheroma aortic
arch. At least moderate in severity eccentric mitral
regurgitation. Moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Mild to
moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
BLE Ultrasound [**2163-9-24**]: Limited study demonstrates no evidence
of right or left lower extremity DVT.
CXR [**2163-9-25**]: As compared to the previous radiograph, the
position of the
tracheostomy tube and of the pacemaker wires is unchanged.
Unchanged moderate cardiomegaly with bilateral areas of
atelectasis and substantial enlargement of the vascular
structures at the lung hilus. Unchanged moderate pulmonary
edema. No newly appeared focal parenchymal opacities.
WBC scan [**2163-9-26**]: 1. Splenomegaly. 2. No focal source of
infection localized.
Bilateral UE ultrasound [**2163-9-28**]: No evidence of upper extremity
deep venous thrombosis.

Brief Hospital Course:
Primary Reason for Hospitalization: Mr. [**Known lastname 108855**] is a 84 year
old male with h/o CAD s/p stenting, systolic CHF (EF40-45%),
atrial fibrillation, h/o cardiac arrest with heart block s/p
AICD/pacemaker, trach/PEG, and recent ICU admission with GI
bleed, hematuria, and MRSA bacteremia, who presented from rehab
with fevers and persistent MRSA bacteremia while on vancomycin.
#. MRSA Bacteremia: The source of the patient's persistent
bacteremia was not found. He grew MRSA from multiple blood
cultures at rehab and also on initial presentation despite
appropriate vancomycin troughs. Multiple sources of persistent
seeding were considered. He had a TTE and TEE which were both
negative for vegetations and did not show any involvement of his
pacer leads. A tagged WBC scan was performed to look for occult
focus of infection which was negative. An upper extremity
ultrasound was also performed to look for possible infected clot
but was negative. His PICC line which had been recently replaced
at [**Hospital **] rehab was removed. A new one was not placed until he
had negative blood cultures. He was continued on vancomycin and
dosing was changed to 1g q48h. Further blood cultures were
negative. Ultimately it was felt he likely has an endovascular
source but it was not found during this hospitalization. He
should be continued on IV vancomycin for 6 weeks from the date
of his last positive blood culture, with last day [**2163-11-2**].
#. Pseudomonas and Klebsiella UTI: Given that he has an
indwelling foley it was suspected that this might be
colonization however his cultures were positive even after
changing his foley. He was found to have pseudomonas in his
urine as well as wound culture. It was multidrug resistant
pseudomonas and he was treated with tobramycin for a seven day
course. He needs one more dose of tobramycin 320mg IV x 1 when
trough < 1. He also grew multidrug resistant klebsiella in his
urine and was started on a 7 day course of cefepime with last
day [**10-2**].
#. Fevers: He had fevers on admission felt to be related to his
MRSA bacteremia. Other cultures returned positive as above. He
also had a knee arthrocentesis which was not consistent with
septic arthritis. His PICC was changed after a 24 hour line
holiday. He was ruled out for C diff.
#. Acute renal failure: BUN/creatinine elevated to 70/1.7 on
admission felt to be related to ongoing infection and poor
forward floor from chronic systolic CHF. His creatinine slowly
improved with diuresis.
#. Chronic respiratory failure: He was continued on mechanical
ventilation during this admission and was unable to be weaned to
trach mask for any length of time. This was felt to be related
to chronic respiratory fatigue in addition to substantial
pulmonary edema. Diuresis was difficult due to his large
obligate fluid intake, but was eventually acheived with lasix
80mg IV q6h plus metolazone 2.5mg po bid. His metolazone may
need to be decreased over the next several days if he is
overdiuresed as he was on average 1L negative on this regimen
for the few days prior to discharge. On the day of discharge,
he was on pressure support [**12-19**], PEEP 5, FiO2 50% with TV in the
300's.
#. Anemia: His hematocrit remained stable in the low 20's during
this admission.
#. Chronic Diastolic CHF: Has EF 55%. He was continued on his
home carvedilol. His lisinopril has been on hold indefinitely
and was not restarted due to renal failure. He was diuresed
with IV lasix and metolazone as above and will need his
creatinine and electrolytes monitored closely with ongoing
diuresis.
#. Sacral decubitus ulcer: Stage IV. He was started on a
fentanyl patch and continued on prn oxycodone for pain control.
#. Atrial fibrillation: His heart rate and blood pressure
remained stable during this admission. He is off
anticoagulation due to h/o GI bleeding and hemothorax. He was
continued on carvedilol.
#. Wound care: He was evaluated by the wound care team who
recommended the following:
1. Follow pressure ulcer guidelines. First Step for fluid
management. Turn q 2 hours.
2. Cleanse wounds with commercial wound cleanser. Pat dry.
3. Apply Aquacel ag to sacrum wound, cover with 4x4's and soft
sorb dressing, secure with Medipore tape. Change daily.
4. BLE ulcerations - cover with Adaptic dressing, place 4x4 and
wrap with Kerlix. Secure with paper tape.
5. No tape on skin.
6. Mid upper back ulcer - Apply Mepilex 4x4 and change q3 days.
7. Mid lower back ulcer - apply DuoDerm wound gel to bed to
assist with autolytic debridement of yellow slough. Cover with
Mepilex 4x4 dressing, and change q 3 days.
8. Apply Critic Aid clear skin barrier ointment to scrotal
tissue to protect from fluid exposure daily. Elevate scrotum to
assess with edema.
9. Waffles bilateral feet.
10. Apply aloe vesta ointment to dry intact skin daily.
11. Support nutrition and hydration.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
- Monitor I/O's closely and check electrolytes closely given
large doses of lasix and metolazone. [**Month (only) 116**] need to back off on
metalazone if signs of overdiuresis. However, would continue to
aim for -500cc daily I/O balance.
- Needs tobramycin trough drawn [**2163-10-1**] AM. Give tobramycin
320mg IV x 1 when trough is <1.0.
- Continue vancomycin until [**2163-11-2**] for MRSA bacteremia.
Should have trough measured intermittently to assess for
appropriate dosing.
- Needs 2 more days of cefepime treatment
- Continue ventilator weaning and trach collar trials if
possible. Diuresis should help with this.
- Please draw weekly labs: CBC/diff, chem-7, LFTs and fax to
Infectious disease R.Ns. at ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 1353**]. All questions
regarding outpatient antibiotics should be directed to the
when clinic is closed

EKG: AFib with LAD normal int. V4-V6 TWI
.
CXR: [**2148-5-30**]:
AP PORTABLE UPRIGHT VIEW OF THE CHEST: There are bilateral
pleural effusions, left greater than right. There is a left
lower lobe opacity. The pulmonary vasculature does not appear
engorged. There is [**Hospital1 **]-apical scarring. The patient is status
post CABG. There is calcification of the mitral annulus.
IMPRESSION: Bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right
with left lower lobe associated opacity. The opacification of
the left lower lung field may be secondary to the pleural
effusion and/or an underlying lung process suggests pneumonia.
.
Imaging: 524/07; Portable Abdomen:
UPRIGHT AND SUPINE VIEWS OF THE ABDOMEN: Patient is status post
CABG. Chest is better evaluated on the dedicated chest film.
Multiple loops of air and stool-filled colon are seen.
Overlapping loops of small and large bowel containing air are
present in the mid abdomen. Oral contrast is seen within the
small bowel. There is a chronic left superior pubic ramus
fracture. There are extensive vascular calcifications. There is
a scoliotic curvature of the thoracolumbar spine convex right
with extensive degenerative changes.
IMPRESSION: Nonspecific bowel gas pattern. Please refer to the
CT scan reported separately for further detail.
.
[**2148-5-30**]: CT Chest abd pelvis:
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST: There are bilateral layering
pleural effusions. There is associated compressive atelectasis.
There are extensive coronary artery calcifications affecting all
three vessels. There is mitral annular calcification.
There is a small perihepatic fluid. There is a focal 10 mm area
of
hypo-enhancement in the right lobe of the liver (series 2, image
20), too small to characterize. There is periportal edema, a
nonspecific finding. The gallbladder is nearly completely
decompressed. Pancreas and spleen are unremarkable. There
appears to be thickening of the left adrenal gland. Right
adrenal gland is unremarkable. The left native kidney is
atrophic. There is a 1.5 cm cyst at the interpolar region of the
right kidney. There is no right-sided hydronephrosis. Loops of
small and large bowel are of normal caliber. There is thickening
of the cecum. The ascending and transverse colons appear normal.
Descending colon is difficult to assess due to the presence of
adjacent ascites in the left pericolic gutter. There is also
thickening of the sigmoid colon and rectum, with adjacent fatty
stranding. There is no intra-abdominal free air, pneumatosis, or
portal venous gas. There are extensive calcifications of the
aorta and iliac arteries. There are calcifications at the
origins of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: Foley catheter is within a
decompressed bladder. Rectum and sigmoid colon demonstrate wall
thickening with adjacent inflammatory changes.
.
BONE WINDOWS: There is a healed left inferior and left superior
pubic ramus fractures. There are extensive degenerative changes
of the spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Thickening of the cecum, rectum, and sigmoid colon consistent
with colitis.
2. Bilateral pleural effusions.
3. Extensive atherosclerotic disease.
4. Small ascites and body wall edema consistent with anasarca
.
[**2148-5-30**]- TTE
Conclusions:
The right atrium is moderately dilated. There is moderate
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular
cavity is small. Overall left ventricular systolic function is
normal (LVEF 70%). Right ventricular chamber size is normal.
Right ventricular systolic function is borderline normal. The
aortic root is moderately dilated athe sinus level. The
ascending aorta is moderately dilated. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present.
Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. There is severe
mitral annular calcification. Mild to moderate ([**1-9**]+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity
of mitral regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.]
The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The
supporting structures of the tricuspid valve are
thickened/fibrotic. There is borderline pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space which most
likely represents a fat pad.
.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2148-6-2**] 1:35 AM
A single AP view of the chest is obtained on [**2148-6-2**] at 01:43
hours and is compared with the prior morning's radiograph. There
appears to have being an increase in the bilateral pleural
effusions which is more marked on the left side. Cardiomegaly
with congestive heart failure persists. Patient is status post
median sternotomy. Marked thoracolumbar scoliosis is visualized.
1. Persistent congestive failure.
2. Increase in bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than
right.
.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2148-6-4**] 7:29 AM
Comparison with multiple previous examinations, the most recent
of which is [**2148-6-2**]. Indistinct pulmonary vascular markings
and fullness of the hila indicate pulmonary edema, slightly
worse than the last examination. Bilateral pleural effusions are
again identified, left greater than the right; the left is large
and slightly larger than the last exam; the right pleural
effusion is probably similar in size. Associated atelectasis is
present; underlying pneumonic consolidation could also be
present. Scarring in both lung apices is again noted. Changes of
CABG and osseous structures are unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Increase in cardiac failure.
2. Bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, left
slightly larger in the interim.
Brief Hospital Course:
86 yo female w CAD s/p recent CABG, afib, PMR h/o and
pseudomonas UTI, being treated for C Diff colitis admitted for
fever and lethargy with transfer to the MICU for brief episode
of hypotension.
.
# Dyspnea/respiratory failure- Hypoxia after volume
resuscitation for C-diff, hypotension and question of sepsis.
Concern for impending ARDS. Running diagnosis flash pulmonary
edema in the setting of fluids. CHF on CXR persistent. Opacity
was also seen on CXR which may indicate a pna. CTA negative for
PE. Oxygen requirement at 4 L NC with 95-100% throughout stay.
Pt was diuresed for a goal 1L neg daily. 40-80IV lasix given.
Crackles on examination and bilateral pleural effusions L>R. Pt
discharged with standing lasix. Potassium standing given
hypokalemia in MICU on lasix. Pna treated initially with
ceftriaxone and vanc, but changed to with linezolid and repleted
as needed given diuretic. No utility in tapping effusions as
likely result of VHF, patient clinically improving. Continuing
abx course Zosyn, linezolid, 40 mg IV lasix to be adjusted as
needed.
.
# Fever/WBC- 101.3 on admission. Pt with multiple possible
sources of infection: C. diff colitis, UTI, PNA. f/u Blood,
sputum cultures.Continued PO vanco for C.diff (stopped flagyl).
Stopped vanc and ctx and started linezolid and zosyn [**6-1**] for
pna linezolid for vre urine. No fever or leukocytosis at time
of discharge.
Linezolid 600 mg PO Q 12 for total of 14 days. Day 6.
Zosyn 4.5 mg IV Q8 for a total of 14 days. Day 6 [**6-6**].
Oral vancomycin for C-diff to continue one week post stopping
antibiotics to continue if continued symptoms.
.
#CHF-Appeared to be diastolic failure- Diuresis with 80 IV lasix
during admission with goal negative 1 liter. Afterload reduction
with ACE. Imdur also started. Atrial fibrillation worsening
heart failure. ECHO with EF 70%, LVH with septal wall 1.5cm and
small chamber diameter. 40 mg IV lasix daily to be decreased at
rehab.
.
#Hypotension- Transient, likely result of hypovolemia and
responded quickly to fluids. Considered cardiogenic shock,
adrenal insufficiency PE. Sepsis. Lactate level at 2.2. Anterior
TWI on EKG and tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, concerning for
PE, but CTA negative for PE. Treated infection, limited fluids
after initial bolus. Resolved within one day with subsequent
hypertension. BB, and ACE held day 1. Then resumed metoprolol
and captopril.
.
#Atrial fibrillation with RVR- HR to 140's. Likely in the
setting of holding BB given hypotension. Increased metoprolol
dose and considering Diltiazem for better rate control but
patients HR to 40-50, bradycardia concerning. Cardiology
consulted, recommended continued BB to increase to Metoprolol
100mg/100mg/75mg from previous 100 mg QAM, and 75 mg [**Hospital1 **].
Reported to hold on Diltiazem. Discussed anticoagulation. Pt is
a fall risk in discussion and at this time will not start
coumadin given risk for bleed. Discussed with husband risk for
stroke when not anticoagulated.
.
# CAD s/p CABG- No current CP or cardiac symptoms at this time.
However, EKG with new TWIs in V1-3. Neg for PE, Ruled out by
enzymes. Continued ASA, Statin, increased BB, increased ACEI
.
# Anemia- No known bleeding currently. LDH, bili normal,coags
relatively normal to rule against hemolysis/DIC. Possibly
multifactorial (inflammation/dilution given IVF). Stable and cw
iron def. Continued ferrous sulfate.
.
# PMR- Stable, continued prednisone during admission
.
# Code- FULL, discussed with family

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 55 year old
male with a past medical history notable for Crohn's Disease
status post multiple bowel resections on home TPN and
Hepatitis C, who presented with fever and rigors for one day.
The patient recently returned home from a two week cruise to
[**Country 7936**] in the Caribbean two days prior to presentation. He
was in his usual state of health until the morning of
admission. The [**Hospital6 407**] nurse changed
needle and Porta-Cath in the a.m. around 10 a.m. At 10:45
the patient was at work and felt feverish with rigors lasting
about 45 seconds. The episode subsided spontaneously. At 2
p.m. the patient had a fever which was a non-documented
temperature followed by rigors lasting another 45 seconds.
The patient called his [**Hospital6 407**] nurse and
his primary physician and the patient was instructed to come
to the Emergency Department.
He took Tylenol at home without relief. The patient
describes chronic headache, backache and generalized body
aches since Interferon therapy. He had dysuria on the day of
admission without increased frequency, color change or other
symptoms. He has no cough, no mental status change. He has
no chest pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain. No
nausea although some nausea in the Emergency Department. No
recent stool changes beyond normal Crohn's. No insect bite,
rash or other illness. Chest and back have a light pink
confluent rash. Last TPN was approximately two weeks prior
to admission. The patient describes a six pound weight loss
since that time. He has positive lightheadedness.

started in [**2112-11-17**].
2. Crohn's Disease.
3. Status post multiple bowel resections.
4. Nephrolithiasis.
5. Short bowel syndrome, on TPN with Porta-Cath.
6. Asthma.
7. Status post appendectomy.
8. Eczema.
9. History of one of six bottles of Stenotrophomonas
maltophilia.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS:
1. Interferon 4 mg q. Wednesday.
2. Ribavirin 600 mg p.o. q. day.
3. Multivitamin.
4. Thiamine.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Married and works on computers. No tobacco,
alcohol or drugs. No pets.
FAMILY HISTORY: Father died of a myocardial infarction in
his 40s and had diabetes mellitus. No family history of
inflammatory bowel disorder.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission, vital signs are heart
rate of 107, blood pressure 104/58; breathing at 16;
temperature 100 F., orally. O2 saturation 98% on room air;
weight 115 pounds. In general, he is an ill appearing,
cachectic male with resting hand tremor in bed. He is in no
apparent distress. HEENT: Normocephalic, atraumatic.
Pupils equally round and reactive to light. Sclerae
anicteric. Mucous membranes slightly dry; no lesions and no
lymphadenopathy. Jugular venous distention flat. He is
tachycardic but regular rhythm. S1 and S2; no S3 or S4.
Chest showed a tunnel Port-A-Cath with needle access dressed
over the right anterior chest superiorly. The chest is
diffusely erythematous. There is a macular rash, symmetric
and warm. Back: Red macular rash noted. Lungs with a few
crackles at the left base. No dullness to percussion.
Otherwise, symmetric breath sounds, clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Abdomen: There is a well healed midline
abdominal scar. He has voluntary guarding. Decreased breath
sounds. Extremities are warm with good color, intact distal
pulses and capillary refill. Neurologically, he is alert and
oriented times three.
LABORATORY: White blood cell count 6.9, hematocrit 31.7,
platelets 112. Sodium 138, potassium 3.0, chloride 102,
bicarbonate 26, BUN 21, creatinine 0.6, glucose 96. ALT 21,
AST 24, amylase 62, lipase 43, alkaline phosphatase 81,
albumin 3.6.
Urinalysis less than 1.005 specific gravity, pH is 5. No red

epithelial cell. Blood cultures are pending.
EKG is normal sinus at 98. There is slight LAD.
Chest x-ray shows no pneumonia, effusion or pneumothroax.
Catheter tip is in the distal superior vena cava.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Cardiovascular: The patient was initially hypotensive in
the Emergency Department. He was given three and a half
liters of normal saline but he was still hypotensive. He
received pressors at that time. The patient has Gentamicin
and Vancomycin as treatment for presumed septic shock. After
volume repletion, the patient's blood pressure returned to
acceptable levels. The blood cultures drawn demonstrated
Stenotrophomonas and Gram positive cocci. Gentamicin was
discontinued as the Stenotrophomonas is the only Gram
negative and it was sensitive to Bactrim. The source of this
infection was presumed to be the patient's Port-A-Cath. The
patient's Port-A-Cath was discontinued on [**2113-4-12**]. He
has remained afebrile on a combination of Bactrim and
Vancomycin after the discontinuation of the Port-A-Cath.
The patient was re-started on TPN on this admission because
of his short-gut syndrome secondary to multiple bowel
resections from his Crohn's Disease. He tolerated the
therapy well and will continue TPN at home. The patient was
also started on Ribavirin, however, given his nausea and
vomiting, this was discontinued. The patient received
Oxy-Codon and morphine for pain initially. This was later
changed to a Fentanyl patch and p.r.n. Percocet. The patient
had good relief with this regimen.
The patient had a new subclavian line placed in the left
subclavian in the Intensive Care Unit. He did not develop a
pneumothorax after this procedure. The line was discontinued
after a PICC line was placed in on [**2113-4-17**]. The
patient is being discharged home on [**2113-4-19**].
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Vancomycin 1 gram intravenous q. 12 hours for two weeks.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 87 year old
man with a history of end stage renal disease from systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE) who was found to spike a
temperature of 104 degrees at the end of his hemodialysis
session on [**2173-4-23**]. He had been started on Vancomycin
the day prior, that for a positive wound culture from a right
Hickman's which was taken on [**4-15**], and was positive on [**4-18**]
and grew Coagulase positive Staphylococcus which was
sensitive to Oxacillin. He also did get a dose of Vancomycin
of 500 mg at hemodialysis. The port site did appear
erythematous and given his temperature of 104 degrees he was
taken to the Emergency Room for further evaluation. En route
to the Emergency Room the blood pressure was 110/58 with a
heartrate of 106, and respirations were 20, however, in the
Emergency Room his systolic blood pressure decreased to the
low 80s; however, he was asymptomatic, maintaining well and
had good urine output. He was given 1 liter of normal saline
as well as started on a Dopamine drip. Systolic blood
pressures remained in the 80s on this and he was therefore
admitted to the Medicine Intensive Care Unit. The line was
pulled by Interventional Radiology Service in the Emergency
Room. The patient's white blood cell count was increased to
17 down to 7 from prior laboratory data, and he was also
started on Levofloxacin and Flagyl in the Emergency Room.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. End stage renal disease secondary
to systemic lupus erythematosus on hemodialysis since [**2167**];
2. Dementia; 3. Hypertension; 4. Anemia; 5. Depression;
6. Hyperthyroidism; 7. Coronary artery disease, status post
myocardial infarction in [**2168**] and catheterization in [**2168**]
showed three vessel disease with percutaneous transluminal
coronary angioplasty stent to the left anterior descending.
7. Status post cerebrovascular accident. 8. Status post
deep vein thrombosis. 9. Ejection fraction of 30% on
echocardiogram in [**2168**]. 10. Osteoarthritis.
ALLERGIES: The patient is allergic to non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, Aspirin, magnesium, laxatives and
Plaquenil.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: 1. Levoxyl 150 mcg q.d.; 2.
Nephrocaps one tablet p.o. q.d.; 3. TUMS 650 mg t.i.d.; 4.

75 mg q.h.s.; 11. Lisinopril 5 mg q.d.; 12. Sorbitol 70% 30
mg q.i.d. prn; 13. Ensure supplements.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient has baseline dementia with
intermittent hallucinations, however, is otherwise functional
and those are at baseline. He has a very involved son,
[**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 23847**], home #[**Telephone/Fax (1) 23848**], work #[**Telephone/Fax (1) 23849**].
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient's temperature initially
was 101.7, decreased to 99.2, heartrate 58, blood pressure
83/28, respiratory rate 14, oxygenation at 100%. In general
he was a cachectic appearing elderly man in no acute
distress. He was mentating, alert and oriented to time and
place. His pupils equal, round and reactive. Extraocular
movements intact. His oropharynx showed mild erythema and
was dry. His neck was supple with no lymphadenopathy and no
bruits and flat jugulovenous pressure. His lungs were clear
to auscultation bilaterally. His heart was regular rate and
rhythm with normal S1 and S2. Chest, chest wall had a
dressing at the site of the removal of the old catheter. His
abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended with active bowel
sounds. His extremities were cool with no cyanosis, clubbing
or edema and distal pulses bilaterally and neurological
examination was nonfocal.
LABORATORY DATA: The patient's initial white blood cell
count was 17 with a hematocrit of 34.1 and platelets 109.
Differential showed 59% polys, 15% bands, 33% lymphocytes, 2%
monocytes, and 1 metamyelocyte when the initial white blood
cell count of 7 and changed to a differential of 93 polys, 0%
bands when the white blood cell count was 17. Chem-7 showed
a sodium 135, potassium 4, chloride 198, bicarbonate 24, BUN
17, creatinine 1.6, glucose 112, INR was 2.1. Chest x-ray
showed no evidence of congestive heart failure or pneumonia.
Heart size was upper limits of normal. Electrocardiogram
showed normal sinus rhythm with Q waves in III and T wave
inversion in V2, V3, V4 which were old as well as a biphasic
T wave inversion in V5 and V6 all of which were old. The
patient's blood cultures drawn at hemodialysis as well as
after hemodialysis by Oncology on [**4-15**] from the Hickman
Porta-cath site had grown Coagulase positive Staphylococcus
which was sensitive to Oxacillin, Levofloxacin and Gentamicin
and Erythromycin and Clindamycin.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was initially admitted to
Medical Intensive Care Unit for monitoring of blood pressure
as well as therapy for his infections. Blood cultures drawn
on [**2173-4-22**] grew Escherichia coli which was sensitive to
Ampicillin, Cefuroxime, ................., Gentamicin and
Bactrim. The patient had initially been started on
Vancomycin, however, once the cultures grew positive for
Escherichia coli, this was switched to Ampicillin with a plan
for a two week course. The patient did otherwise well on the
Medical Intensive Care Unit and he had a temporary
hemodialysis line placed with plans to arrange for a new
line, originally planned for [**2173-4-26**]. The patient
improved and was called off of the floor on [**2173-4-25**].
However, on [**2173-4-26**], the patient was sitting up in bed
to have breakfast and slid out of bed with a result of
hitting his head as well as his hip. A head computerized
tomography scan done at the time was negative for any
intracranial hemorrhage. The patient had a bruise over his
right eye but no evidence of fracture. A right hip film
showed a probable right neck femoral fracture which was
recommended to be followed up by an magnetic resonance
imaging scan. The hip magnetic resonance imaging scan showed
a right subcapital femoral neck fracture with varus
angulation as well as adjacent edema and a subacute L4
compression fracture. The patient was called out to the
Medicine Floor with plans to schedule him for orthopedic
surgery. He was also scheduled for a new line placement on
[**2173-4-26**]. However, at about one hour before going to the
Operating Room he had a temperature of 101 degrees. Given
this, the procedure was cancelled and rescheduled for a later
date. The patient otherwise was doing well. His hematocrit
remained stable. He had no mental status changes and his
distal leg showed no evidence of vascular compromise. The
patient Coumadin had been held during the initial Medicine
Intensive Care Unit admission in anticipation for the
Operating Room as the INR was 1.0 on the day of transfer to
the Medical Floor. The following is the hospital course on
the Medical Floor by issues:
1. Infectious disease - The patient was continued on
Ampicillin for Escherichia coli bacteremia, multiple cultures
were drawn following the initial positive blood cultures.
The catheter tip culture remained negative, all follow up
blood cultures remained negative as well as several urine
cultures done on the floor. After discussion with the Renal
Service as well as Orthopedic Service, it was decided the
patient should be continued for at least a total of two week
course of Ampicillin and following the initially positive
blood cultures, he was continued on intravenous Ampicillin
throughout the hospitalization and this will be discontinued
on the date of discharge as follow up cultures following the
Orthopedic Surgery have remained negative throughout
hospitalization. Likewise a right femoral head culture taken
at the time of surgery showed polymorphonuclear leukocytes,
however, no micro-organisms and no thick cultures or tissue
as well as anaerobic cultures showed no growth.
2. Renal - The patient had been undergoing hemodialysis
through a temporary femoral line. As this was in the right
groin, goal was to replace this prior to orthopedic surgery.
Given that the patient remained afebrile after the initial
spike on [**2173-4-26**] and that all cultures remained
negative, he was taken to the Operating Room for a Perma-cath
placement on the left side on [**2173-4-30**]. However, when
the patient returned to the floor it was noted that the
Perma-cath had likely been lost or not been placed in the
Operating Room. The Renal Service was felt unable to use the
hemodialysis line for concerns of infection and it was
revised on [**2173-5-2**]. This Perma-cath line was then
successfully used for hemodialysis throughout the rest of the
hospitalization and the temporary line was removed.
3. Orthopedics - The patient did go to the Operating Room
for a right hemiarthroplasty on [**2173-5-4**]. He tolerated
the procedure well and had no postoperative complications.
At the date of discharge, he was able to ambulate slowly with
physical therapy and per Orthopedics was able to do full
weightbearing as tolerated. Physical therapy should be
continued at rehabilitation. The staples will come out two
weeks following discharge when he follows up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 1022**] as
an outpatient.
4. Hematology - For postop the patient's Coumadin had been
held on admission. Discussion was held between the
Orthopedic Service and the Renal Service as well as the
medical team for anticoagulation prophylaxis following both
the hip fracture as well as following the hip surgery.
Pneuma boots were placed on the patient. Lovenox was
considered to be not of use in the setting of hemodialysis.
The patient was started on intravenous heparin and maintained
until the surgery. He did have repeated hematocrit drop in
this setting with no source of bleeding ever identified and
guaiac negative stools throughout. He received 2 units of
blood at hemodialysis. His hematocrit dropped to 24.8 on [**2173-5-7**]. He received another unit of blood with increase to
27.8 and 30.9 on the day of discharge. After further
discussion the heparin was held on [**2173-5-7**] in the
setting of the more dramatic drop, and the hematocrit
remained stable for 48 hours thereafter. His Coumadin had
been restarted at a lower dose, 3 mg q.h.s. At the time of
discharge his INR goal will be 1.5 to 2.0, it is 1.5 on the
day of discharge, this should be adjusted as the patient
tolerates.
5. Cardiovascular - The patient had baseline history of
hypertension, and he is on Lisinopril as well as Atenolol.
The Atenolol was initially held and then slowly restarted as
Lopressor 12.5 mg b.i.d. This should be titrated up as
tolerated with the goal to be returned to the 25 mg q.d. if
the patient needs it. The patient's Lisinopril was also
held, given the patient's eosinophilia and hypotension. It
should be restarted as the patient's blood pressure
tolerates.
6. Psychiatric - The patient had a baseline dementia but was
oriented and interactive throughout the hospitalization. He
did have intermittent hallucinations and was initially placed
on sitter, however, he did not require a sitter and the
sitter was discontinued. He remained oriented to time and
place as well as recent history throughout, except that he
occasionally stated that he was in a different place,
however, he corrected himself to the correct location. He
appeared to have a slightly more severe episode of this on
[**2173-5-8**], so urine culture and chest x-ray were checked
and urine culture was negative and chest x-ray was unchanged.
The patient was otherwise tardy at baseline. The patient
overall improved throughout the hospitalization and will be
discharged to rehabilitation on [**2173-5-10**].
DISCHARGE STATUS: Do-Not-Resuscitate, Do-Not-Intubate.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:

OSH Imaging
[**9-19**] OSh CXR: No intestinal obstruction. Some gaseous distension
of stomach. Mild CHF with vascular congestion.
CT abd/pelvis: moderate bilateral effusions, distension of GB,
layering stones, no wall thickening, no free air or fluid,
diffuse SC edema in chest wall and abdominal wall
CXR: loculated R pleural effusion/pleural thickening at R base
KUB: No intestinal obtruction.
Brief Hospital Course:
69F with CAD s/p CABG [**2189**] and MI x [**5-6**] and [**2198-8-5**], HTN,
PVD, bilateral heel ulcers on impinem and linezolid, and [**Hospital **]
transferred from OSH with vasopressor dependent shock, likely
multifactorial.
#. Shock/Hypotension: Differential diagnosis included septic,
hypovolemic, cardiogenic shock. Cool extremities and recent CP
with pulm edema on CXR and CVP 20-24 most consistent with
cardiogenic shock. Patient also developed worsening hypoxia and
increased O2 requirement which was exacerbated with laying flat.
It is possible she had recent MI when c/o CP several days prior
or worsening CHF related to transfusions received several days
prior. Dobutamine was attempted for inotropy but hypotension
worsened on max levophed and uptitrated neo. She was also
treated with Dapto/PO Vanco/Zosyn/Fluconazole for possible
infectious sources such as skin/osteo given heel ulcers which
probe to bone, C difficile/colitis with recent diarrhea, UTI
with positive UA, and line infection with PICC in place. Lack of
leukocytosis and fever argued against infectious cause. Guaiac
positive stool in the setting of thrombocytopenia make slow GIB
a possible source of hypotension as well although HCT remained
stable. UOP remained low and pt maxed out on 4 pressors as above
with progressive hypotension MAPs in 40s-50s in addition to
altered mental status and hypoxia requiring nonrebreather. Her
daughter and HCP was called to discuss prognosis and pt was made
DNR/DNI with focus on comfort care and she expired several hours
later.
#. Hypoxia: Likely secondary to pulmonary edema and cardiogenic
shock. Started on bipap with no improvement.
.
#. Thrombocytopenia: Likely related to myelosuppressive effects
of linezolid and imipenem +/- sepsis +/- GIB/consumptive
process.
.
#. Anemia/Guaiac positive stool: Likely secondary to GIB +/-
myelosuppression as above. HCT stable.
#. Abdominal pain: Most likely secondary to ischemia in setting
of poor florward flow but covered for infectoius sources with
zosyn as well. CT A/P without contrast did not demonstrate
acute pathology.
.
#. Hyponatremia: Likely related to volume overload and anasarca
as appears total body hypervolemic.
.
#. [**Last Name (un) **] on [**Last Name (un) 2091**]: Unclear baseline. Likely prerenal secondary to
CHF and decreased forward flow vs ATN from sepsis. Urine Na<10.
.
#. Heel ulcers: On chronic abx and probe to bone so likely has
undergoing osteo. Covered with abx as above.
# Code: Full then changed to DNR/DNI

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 61502**] was transferred on [**2174-11-3**] from [**Hospital 9464**] Hospital
for management of his coronary artery disease. He was continued
on IV heparin. Preoperative work-up was completed. He was
brought to the operating room on [**2174-11-4**] for coronary artery
bypass graft surgery. See operative report for further details.
He received cefazolin for perioperative antibiotics and was
transferred to the intensive care unit for postoperative
management. In the first twenty four hours he was weaned from
sedation, awoke neurologically intact and was extubated without
complications. On post operative day one he was started on beta
blockers and diuretics. He continued to do well and was
transferred to the floor hemodynamically stable. The remainder
of his hospital coursewas uneventful. Exam below summaries

Service:
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 65-year-old
white male with a history of type 2 diabetes and extensive
peripheral vascular disease who was initially admitted to the
Podiatry Service with a left forefoot cellulitis with
associated fevers and chills. There was no trauma or foreign
body associated with the cellulitis. Therefore, it was
opened and drained. The patient was started on intravenous
antibiotics.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Type 2 diabetes.
2. Hypertension.
3. Peripheral vascular disease.
4. Hypercholesterolemia.
5. Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY:
1. Multiple foot surgeries.
2. Right lower extremity bypass.
3. Femoral-popliteal bypass.
4. Aortobifemoral bypass.
5. Graft in the renal artery.
6. Endarterectomy.
7. Umbilical hernia repair.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Glucovance 5/500 mg p.o. b.i.d.,
hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg p.o. q.d., metoprolol 100 mg p.o.
b.i.d., Norvasc 2.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zestril 40 mg p.o. q.d.,
Lipitor 40 mg p.o. q.d., Prilosec 20 mg p.o. q.d.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
on admission revealed the patient was alert and oriented
times three. Head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination
revealed were pupils were equal, round, and reactive to
light. Extraocular movements were intact. Cardiovascular
examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm. Normal first
heart sound and second heart sound. No murmurs, gallops or
rubs. Lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. No
wheezes, rhonchi, or rales. The abdomen was soft, nontender,
and nondistended. No guarding. Extremities revealed left
foot with erythema and edema, an open wound from incision
1 cm long. Dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis pulses were
nonpalpable bilaterally. Left foot was very warm. Good
movement, and biphasic on Doppler.
ASSESSMENT: This is a 44-year-old male with a past medical
history of type 2 diabetes, initially admitted for a left
lower extremity cellulitis with hospital course complicated
by a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, complicated
catheterization, and workup of left upper lobe mass found on
a pre-catheterization chest x-ray.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM:
1. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: The patient was originally
admitted on [**2121-10-23**] for left lower extremity
cellulitis to the Podiatry Service.
On [**2121-10-25**] the patient developed shortness of breath
and bilateral shoulder pain and ruled in for a non-Q-wave
myocardial infarction. At that time, the patient was
transferred to the C-MED Service. The patient had 1-mm ST
elevations in leads I and aVL with 2-mm ST depressions in
leads III, aVF, and V3 through V6.
The patient did not immediately undergo catheterization given
that he was still febrile from his left lower extremity
cellulitis, and it was unclear whether or not he would be
okay to have stents placed given his history of
osteomyelitis.
In addition, in the interval between developing the
non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, the patient also had some
hemoptysis which was followed up with a CT of the chest which
showed a left upper lobe mass.
Once the patient was afebrile, the patient underwent
catheterization. The procedure was complicated by a small
dissection. The patient had six stents placed in the right
coronary artery. Given these complications, the patient was
transferred to the Coronary Care Unit for overnight
observation.
The patient was then transferred back to the C-MED Service.
It should also be noted that the patient also had a
echocardiogram after his myocardial infarction which was
significant for a moderately dilated left atrium, mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, with a normal left
ventricular cavity size, overall left ventricular systolic
function preservation; although, mild basal inferior
hypokinesis could not be excluded. The right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion were normal. Simple
atheroma on the aortic roots were seen. The ascending aorta
was mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets were
thickened. No aortic regurgitation was seen. The mitral
valve leaflets were mildly thickened with mild mitral
regurgitation. Left ventricular inflow pattern suggested
impaired. Ejection fraction of greater than 55% was
determined.
The patient remained stable on the C-MED Service and was
eventually transferred to the General Medicine Service.
2. PULMONARY SYSTEM: The patient apparently had a left
upper lobe mass which was seen on chest x-ray one month prior
to his presentation with left lower extremity cellulitis at
that time. No further workup was done. While in house the
patient developed hemoptysis, and a left lower lobe mass was
also seen on a follow-up chest x-ray.
A CT of the chest was done on [**10-27**] which showed a left
upper lobe mass that was speculated which was 3.6-cm X 5.3-cm
in size.
The patient was seen by the Pulmonary Service in house, and
he was preliminarily diagnosed with a likely stage III-B
bronchogenic lung cancer. In order to make the full
diagnosis, the patient would need a tissue biopsy; however,
given his recent myocardial infarction, mediastinoscopy by
Cardiothoracic Surgery was deferred until the patient
recovered from his acute cardiovascular events.
3. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: The patient was treated for a left
lower extremity cellulitis with intravenous antibiotics while
he was in house. The patient was treated with ciprofloxacin,
Flagyl, and oxacillin for cultures which grew out
Staphylococcus coagulase-positive bacteria.
The patient had a bone scan to both rule out metastases from
his lung mass and also to determine if there was any
osteomyelitis. As per Podiatry, no osteomyelitis was
suggested, and the patient was continued on oxacillin while
in the hospital and changed over to oral dicloxacillin when
he was discharged from the hospital.
4. FLUIDS/ELECTROLYTES/NUTRITION: The patient seemed to
have some hyponatremia while in the hospital. The patient
was fluid restricted. It was unclear whether or not the
patient had syndrome of inappropriate secretion of
antidiuretic hormone. A hyponatremia workup was initiated
while in house, and the patient was to follow up with his
primary care physician regarding the results of these tests.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: (The patient's discharge diagnoses
included)
1. Left lower extremity cellulitis.
2. Non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.
3. Status post catheterization complicated by a small
dissection and six stent placement.
4. A left upper lobe mass.
5. Hyponatremia.
6. Anemia.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: The patient condition on discharge
was fair.
DISCHARGE STATUS: The patient was discharged to home with
[**Hospital6 407**] services.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE: (The patient's discharge
medications included)
1. Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg p.o. q.d.
2. Amlodipine 2.5 mg p.o. b.i.d.
3. Atorvastatin 40 mg p.o. q.d.
4. Pantoprazole 40 mg p.o. q.d.

3. The patient needed dressing changes every day by his
visiting nurse.
4. The patient was to follow up with Cardiothoracic Surgery
(Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 175**] in one to two weeks after discharge to reassess
whether or not it was time for a mediastinoscopy (telephone
number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 170**]).
5. The patient was to follow up with the [**Hospital **] Clinic given
his NPH insulin doses after being in the hospital and having
increased insulin requirements in the setting of stress
(telephone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 2378**]).

Chief Complaint:
Right sided weakness and facial droop
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Tracheostomy and PEG placement
History of Present Illness:
HPI: Mr [**Known lastname 36821**] is a 75 yo M who lives in a senior center who
was found in his room this evening with 'paresis' of his right
arm and leg, right facial droop and garbled speech.
All the history is per records and report from ED team. He was
last seen well at 4.30 pm in usual state of health. However at
around 6 pm, he was found in his room and was not moving his
right side. he was talking ' garbled speech and was not anwering
appropriately. He was taken to OSH where BP was 210/110, was
given 20 labetalol IV. stroke scale was done which was 20, CT
head showed left BG bleed. BG was 175, other lab work was
grossly
unremarkable. EKG showed occasional PVCs. he was transfered to
[**Hospital1 18**].
Upon arrival, BP still high 180-190 sytolic, he was somnolent,
noted to have left sided gaze preference, right hemiplegia and
was intubated and sedated. he was started on nitro drip, neuro
surgery was called who suggested neuromed admit.
when I saw him, he was intubated and sedated. He was on CMV mode
of vent at PEEP of 5, f 16 TV around 480. he was loaded with
keppra before I saw him.
Additional history:
Spoke with Mr. [**Known lastname 86868**] PCP today, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 74756**] at [**Hospital1 35174**], to obtain additional information about the patient's
past medical history. Per report, in [**2167-10-6**] Mr.
[**Known lastname 36821**] fell approximately 40 feet off the mast of his
sailboat. He suffered a pelvic fracture, multiple vertebral and
transverse process fractures and a basilar skull fracture. He
also reportedly had bilateral frontal contusions. He was
hospitalized at [**Hospital1 2025**] for ~1 month, after which Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 74756**] took
over his care. In [**2170-5-6**] he suffered a hemorrhagic
stroke.
CT scan at that time showed intraventricular hemorrhage, without
obvious intraparenchymal source. He also had evidence of both
left thalamic and right internal capsule lacunar infarct. He
recovered from that, however eventually began having difficulty
caring for himself at home and was transferred to an [**Hospital3 12272**] facility. In [**1-/2171**] he again fell, and this time was
taken to [**Hospital3 1443**] Hospital, where he was found to have
a
humeral neck fracture. He did have a head CT at that time,
which
showed no new insults. He was last seen by his PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**4-/2171**],
at
which time he was noted to be conversant, but impulsive, with
mild dementia. He was not noted to have any focal motor
deficits. According to the facility he is currently living at,
he has been progressively more unsteady over the past year,
often
falling backwards. His PCP also notes that he has always been
poorly compliant with his medications, so his blood pressure has
been poorly controlled.

Imaging:
NCHCT([**3-12**]):
NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is intraparenchymal hemorrhage,
centered in the
left basal ganglia, measuring 2.2 x 4.5 cm in the axial plane.
Measured in a
similar fashion on prior study, this hematoma measured 1.9 x 3.8
cm,
consistent with slight interval enlargement. There is minimal
surrounding
parenchymal edema. There is mass effect upon the left lateral
ventricle, with
compression of the body and the anterior [**Doctor Last Name 534**], but there is no
significant
shift of midline structures. The basal and perimesencephalic
cisterns are
preserved, without evidence for herniation. There is no evidence
for
intraventricular extension, as suggested in the requisition.
There is no
subarachnoid hemorrhage identified.
There is underlying atrophy, with prominence of the sulci and
ventricles.
There is extensive periventricular white matter hypodensity,
compatible with
the sequelae of chronic small vessel infarction. There are no
abnormal
extra-axial fluid collections. There are extensive
calcifications involving
the anterior and posterior circulation. The visualized bones
demonstrate no
fracture, and the paranasal sinuses are normally pneumatized and
clear.
However, there are extensive secretions identified in the
posterior
nasopharynx. The extracranial soft tissues, including the globes
and orbits,
are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Intraparenchymal hemorrhage, centered in the left basal ganglia,
minimally
enlarged compared to a study performed approximately three hours
earlier.
There is minimal surrounding parenchymal edema, and mass effect
upon the
adjacent lateral ventricle, without significant midline shift or
evidence of
herniation. There is no intraventricular extension.
There is underlying global atrophy and chronic small vessel
infarction.
Extensive secretions in posterior nasopharynx noted.
There are extensive vascular calcifications of the anterior and
posterior
circulations.
NCHCT ([**3-13**])
FINDINGS:
Again visualized is a 4.5 x 2.2 cm measuring left basal ganglia
hematoma with
surrounding edema, unchanged from prior exam. Unchanged
effacement of the
left lateral ventricle. No intraventricular hemorrhage and no
new sites of
intracranial hemorrhage. The basal cisterns are normal without
evidence of
herniation. No shift of normally midline structures. No evidence
of acute
infarctions. Unchanged chronic lacunar infarcts in the left
thalamus and
right basal ganglia. Unchanged confluent hypodensities in the
centrum
semiovale, periventricular and bifrontal deep and subcortical
white matter
consistent with sequelae of chronic small vessel disease.
The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. The
previously
described secretions in the nasopharynx have resolved. Extensive
vascular
calcifications of the anterior and posterior circulation.
IMPRESSION:
Unchanged left basal ganglia hemorrhage with surrounding edema
and effacement
of the left lateral ventricle. No evidence of midline shift or
new sites of
hemorrhage.
CXR ([**3-23**]):
IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to [**3-12**] through 18. Right upper
lobe
consolidation which developed on [**3-21**] has progressed. Severe
right lower
lobe consolidation that developed two days earlier is stable.
Left lower lobe
consolidation is worsening. Whether the lower lobe abnormalities
are
pneumonia or atelectasis is radiographically indeterminate.
Moderate right
pleural effusion and pulmonary vascular congestion are
increasing suggesting
an element of cardiac decompensation. Heart size is top normal
and modest
distention of mediastinal veins could be a function of supine
positioning.
Tracheostomy tube in standard placement. Right subclavian line
ends in the
region of the superior cavoatrial junction. No pneumothorax.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known firstname 449**] [**Known lastname 36821**] is a 75 year old man with a history of HTN,
HLD, DM and prior IPH presenting with right sided weakness and
garbled speech. He had a non-contrast head CT which showed a
2.2x4.5 cm left basal ganglia hemorrhage.
Hospital Course:
#Neuro: The patient was intubated for airway protection and
admitted to the NeuroICU. He had initially received a Keppra
load, however as the hemorrhage was not cortical, this was not
continued. Given his history of poorly controlled hypertension,
recorded blood pressures as high as 220/120, and the location of
the hemorrhage, it was thought most likely that this represented
a hypertensive hemorrhage. He had repeat head CTs on [**3-13**] and
[**3-16**], which showed stable hemorrhage. SQ heparin was restarted
on [**3-17**] and can be continued for DVT prophylaxis. Exam on
discharge was notable for flaccid paralysis on the right, but he
will localize to painful stimuli on the right with his left
hand. Left arm strength was full. Lower extremities were
anti-gravity on the left, and withdrawal from pain on the right,
with upgoing toes bilaterally.
#CV: On admission Mr. [**Known lastname 36821**] was found to have significantly
elevated blood pressure. He was initially brought under control
with a nitroprusside drip, however given the potential for
nitroprusside to increase intracranial pressure, this was
discontinued. He was intermittently placed on a labetalol drip,
however due to bradycardia this periodically had to be stopped,
and he was eventually brought under control with hydralazine
instead. His home doses of metoprolol and lisinopril were
increased, initially with good control. However, given slightly
worsening renal failure, he was transitioned from lisinopril to
amlodipine and also started on PO hydralazine. Goal SBP remains
less than 160, and he can be treated with additional IV
hydralazine as needed, however blood pressures have been well
controlled today (104/49-155/67) without need for IV medication.
He had three sets of negative cardiac enzymes on admission. A
lipid panel showed significant elevation in triglycerides, but
with normal cholesterol, so his simvastatin was increased and he
was also started on fish oil.
#Resp: In the Emergency Department the patient developed
respiratory distress, and had to be intubated for airway
protection. He was initially extubated on [**3-14**], but then had to
be reintubated due to respiratory fatigue. He was again
extubated on [**3-18**]. On [**3-20**] he was noted to have continued
respiratory failure, with significant difficulty clearing his
secretions, and on [**3-21**] the decision was made to place a trach
and PEG. He continues to require frequent suctioning for
secretions, with signs of right sided aspiration pneumonia,
however his most recent chest x-ray is showing signs of
improvement.
#ID: On [**3-16**] he developed a fever of 101. He had urine, sputum
and blood cultures drawn, which were negative. CXR showed a
small degree of atelectasis, but no pneumonia. Repeat cultures
were drawn on [**3-18**] for temperature of 100.7. On [**3-20**] CXR showed
significant aspiration pneumonia for which he was started on
vanc/cipro/cefepime to continue through [**3-29**]. Sputum cultures
from bronchial aspirates showed primarily normal flora. On [**3-25**]
he had a vancomycin trough of 35, so his vancomycin is currently
on hold. He should have repeat daily troughs drawn, with a goal
trough of 15-20, and vancomycin should be restarted once his
levels are back in therapeutic range. His WBC was slightly
increased at 16.1 on [**3-25**], however he remains afebrile and
cultures have so far been negative. He has not had loose
stools, and did not have any bowel movements to test for c diff
today, however this should be kept in mind, particularly if he
develops any loose stools in the next few days.
#Renal: He was noted to become progressively pre-renal
throughout his ICU stay, with an increase in BUN from 20->40.
This was thought to possibly be due to the lisinopril with an
element of renal artery stenosis, as well as some degree of
overdiuresis. The lisinopril was stopped, and diuresis was
minimized, with slight improvement. BUN and Cr should continue
to be monitored to assure that this continues to improve.

CTA CHEST W&W/O C &RECONS; CTA ABD W&W/O C & RECONS
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
72 year old man follow up aortic diseection
TECHNIQUE: MDCT acquired contiguous axial images were obtained
from the thoracic inlet to the pubic symphysis. Multiplanar
reconstructions were performed.
CONTRAST: 150 cc of IV Optiray contrast was administered due to
rapid rate of bolus injection. Non-contrast enhanced images were
also obtained.
CTA OF THE AORTA: There is a dissection extending from the mid
portion of the aortic arch inferiorly to below the renal
arteries. No intramural hematomas identified. The celiac artery,
SMA, left renal artery, and [**Female First Name (un) 899**] all originate from the true
lumen. The [**Female First Name (un) 899**] originates below the dissection. The right renal
artery originates from the true lumen; however, the dissection
appears to involve the very proximal portion of the origin of
the right renal artery. No filling defects or pulmonary emboli
are identified within the pulmonary arteries. There is a focal
aneurysmal dilatation of the right common iliac artery,
measuring 16 mm in maximum diameter. There is extensive
calcification of the aorta.
CT OF THE CHEST WITH IV CONTRAST: Soft tissue window images
demonstrate several small mediastinal lymph nodes, none of which
are pathologically enlarged by CT criteria. No hilar or axial
lymphadenopathy seen. Bilateral pleural effusions are noted,
greater on the right than the left, which demonstrate
attenuation values consistent with simple fluid. Minimal
atelectasis is noted at the lung bases. Lung window images
demonstrate no pulmonary nodules or parenchymal masses. The
heart and pericardium are normal in appearance.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST: A focal hypodensity is noted
within the dome of the liver, which is too small to
characterize. No other abnormalities are identified within in
the liver. The spleen, gallbladder, and pancreas are within
normal limits. The adrenal glands are normal. There is
asymmetric parenchymal enhancement of the right kidney compared
to the left, which may be related to involvement of the origin
of the right renal artery with the dissection. No focal infarcts
are identified. There is no hydronephrosis or perinephric fluid.
The bowel is normal, without evidence of bowel wall thickening
or dilatation. No free fluid or free air is noted. No
pathologically enlarged retroperitoneal or mesenteric
lymphadenopathy is seen. There is prominent submucosal fat
within the gastric mucosa.
CT OF THE PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: There is extensive
diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon. No free fluid is noted. The
bladder and rectum are normal in appearance.
BONE WINDOWS: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are
identified. Degenerative changes are seen within the mid
thoracic spine, at the L5/S1 level.
CT RECONSTRUCTIONS: Multiplanar reconstructions were essential
in delineating the anatomy and pathology.
IMPRESSION:
1. There is an aortic dissection extending from the mid portion
of the arch of the aorta distal to the origin of the left
subclavian artery, and extending along the aorta to and below
the renal arteries. The main branch vessels, including the SMA,
celiac artery, and left renal artery arise off the true lumen.
The dissection appears to involve the origin of the right renal
artery. Additionally, there is increased cortical parenchymal
enhancement of the right kidney in comparison to the left. No
definite areas of infarct identified. No intramural hematoma is
seen.
2. Focal hypodensity in the dome of the liver, which is too
small to characterize.
3. Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon, without any evidence of
diverticulitis.
4. Focal aneurysmal dilatation of the right common iliac artery,
measuring 16 mm.
5. Bilateral pleural effusions, greater on the left than the
right.
Results were discussed with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 33863**] at 2:00 AM on

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Esophagoduodenoscopy with cauterization and injection duodenal
ulcer.
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 59 yo woman s/p gastric bypass c/b bowel
obstruction and ventral hernia repairs who presents with black
tarry stools for one day. The patient was in her usual state of
health until the afternoon of [**8-27**], when she started to have
crampy abdominal pain and the urge to defecate while driving
home from work. She subsequently had 4-5 episodes of large
volume, dark brown, tarry, malodorous stool over several hours.
These bowel movements also contained small streaks of maroon
colored blood. She had some transient lightheadedness after her
first bowel movement, but no LOC, palpiations, or CP. She also
denies any nausea, vomiting, or retching. She had no changes in
her stool color, consistency, or caliper prior to the onset of
melena, and s/p gastric bypass had no symptoms dumping syndrome.
She has had no known sick contacts, or recent weight loss,
fevers or chills. She has a recent history of starting an
NSAID, Voltaren, for OA pain several months ago. She has had
EGD in the distant past, but has not ever had a colonoscopy.
.
ED Course: On arrival to the E.D., the patient had no abominal
pain, and was no longer having large-volume stools. She did
have several additional small volume black stools over the day
on [**8-28**]. She was tachycardic to the 110s, SBP to 140s, which
improved with IVF. Her Hct was found to be 31, down from a
baseline of 39 by patient report. She was found to have brown
stool, guaiac positive. She had a negative NG lavage. She was
started on an IV PPI and transferred to the floor.

Brief Hospital Course:
GI: On transfer to the floor, the patient had initially had a
SBP of 100 down from 140 in the ED, but repeat was 120/80, and
she remained hemodynamically stable. However, Hct trended down
from 31 to 25, and she was transferred to the ICU for closer
monitoring and EGD. She recieved 2 units PRBCs, with Hct bump
to 28.9. EGD was remarkable for a single cratered 15mm ulcer
with oozing from the edges just distal to the gastrojejunal
anastomosis, which was injected with epinephrine and cauterized
successfully for hemostasis. Post-procedure, she was
hemodynamically stable, her Hct was 30.3, and she was
transferred back to the floor. Once back on the floor, she did
very well, and remained hemodynamically stable. She had no
abdominal pain, nausesa or vomiting. Her Hct at discharge was
stable at 32.2, and her diet was advanced to regular. She had
not yet had a bowel movement post-procedure, but was passing
gas. She was discharged on hige dose PPI to follow-up with her
PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 176**] 2 weeks and GI for repeat EGD and biopsy in 1 month.

Cardiac catheterization with DES to LAD
History of Present Illness:
71 yo male with RA, obesity, who p/w STEMI. Pt originally
presented to [**Hospital3 3583**] earlier this afternoon following
CP/syncopal episode. He had been performing activity in the yard
for several hours, laying cinder bricks with his cousin, when he
felt tired and SOB, fatigued. Occurred around noon. Also noted
some mild mid-sternal CP - dull, tight pain. Did not radiate.
Associated with mild SOB and mild nausea and lightheadedness. He
rested and drank some iced tea and felt slightly better. He then
returned to working with continued fatigue, exercised for ~[**11-22**]
hour when his fatigue became severe and pain worsened. He
continued to feel SOB and lightheaded, dizzy, nauseous. Went
inside again. Found found by his cousin collapsed in chair -
apparently he had syncopized for several seconds to minutes (pt
does not recall). He was cold and clammy, and difficuly to
arouse. Cousin called EMS, at scene he was tachy in low 100's,
BP 90/P. Took to [**Hospital3 3583**] (~2pm). At [**Hospital1 46**], EKG showed
RBBB with STE in V1 and V2. Initial enzymes with CK 101, trop
0.5. He was given SL ntg w/o improvement. Had head CT which was
negative. Sx continued, and at ~9pm transferred to [**Hospital1 18**].
.
In [**Hospital1 18**], EKG's now showed resolving ST elevations in V1, V2
with q in V1, with RBBB, LAFB. Started on plavix 600, heparin
gttp, integrilin gttp, lopressor 25 x1, and mag 2gm x1. Enzymes
returned with CK 1095, MB 156, MBI 14.2, trop 3.60. Cardiology
consulted; given 11+ hours of CP, and pain-free, decision made
to medically manage voernigh. Transferred to CCU for further
management.
.
Pt confirms he is pain-free. His CP resolved sometime after
arrival to [**Hospital1 18**]. He denies any previous occurences of CP or
exertional dyspnea. He is not regularly active, but ambulates
around his mobile home complex regularly and does occasional
manual labor jobs without difficulty. Reports a stress test 2
years ago which was normal, otherwise no cardiac workup. Denies
edema, orthopnea, PND, palpitations, or h/o angina/DOE.

depressed with akinesis of the mid to distal antero-septum and
apex. The anterior wall is not well seen but appears
hypokinetic. No masses or thrombi are seen in the left
ventricle. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic
valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is
not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is
seen. There is no pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 71 year old gentleman with obesity, previous smoking,
and rheumatoid arthritis who presented to an outside hospital
after syncopal episode. He was found to have ST elevations on
EKG but unfortunately, the diagnosis of STEMI MI was delayed due
to misinterpretation of EKG. Trop I at OSH was 0.4 (nl range is
0-0.5). He was transferred here for non-emergent
catheterization. On transfer here pt denied chest pain and was
given aspirin; however, here the EKG was determined to be, in
fact, consistent with ST elevated MI in anteroseptal region.
Here, also, enzymes found highly elevated CK 1095, MB 156, MBI
14.2, trop 3.60. Repeat EKG here revealed resolving ST
elevations. Given that he was 11+ hours out from event, and
pain-free, acute intervention was deferred.
The patient underwent catheterization on [**4-19**] with overlapping
Cypher drug-eluting stents placed to a proximal LAD lesion (90%)
and remained chest pain free thereafter; a 90% stenosis in the
PDA which originated from the RCA was also noted but did not
underog intervention. His cardiac enzymes are now trended
downward thereafter. Of note, a pre-catheterization echo was
obtained and revealed an EF of 35% and anteroseptal and apical
hypokinesis. Given elevated pulmonary artery pressures and the
depressed EF, the patient was diuresed with lasix. Given the
hypokinesis at the apex, it was necessary to start the patient
on anticoagulation and heparin was maintained. Before bridging
to heparin, the patient underwent catheterization again and a
[**Name Prefix (Prefixes) **] [**Last Name (Prefixes) **] was placed in RCA/PDA lesion.
The patient remained chest pain free and hemodynamically stable
thereafter. He was discharged on hospital day 7 with plans to
follow up with his new cardiologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 7047**] as well as with
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of [**Hospital1 18**] Cardiology.
In summary, this is a 71 year old gentleman admitted with
anterior STEMI associated with probable syncopal event who
underwent successful stenting of lesions in the proximal LAD and
in the RCA-PDA seen on catheterization. Also noted to have
depressed systolic function with an EF of 35% on echo associated
with anteroseptal and apical hypokinesis, the latter of which
necessitated maintenance of anticoagulative therapy.
Issues and plan from this hospitalization:
1) Cardiovascular- will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 7047**],
cardiologist
a) Perfusion, STEMI s/p catheterizatation with 2 overlapping DES
to proximal LAD, and re-catheterization with stenosis in RCA.
- ASA, plavix, high dose lipitor
- metoprolol and captopril for blood pressure control.
.
b). Pump EF of 35%, anteroseptal, and apical hypokinesis. CXR
not cw failure at this point, but O2 sat not optimal (O2 sat 95
on 2L, 90-91 on RA)
- diuresed for goal of -1L over few days
- apical hypokinesis; risk of thrombus will require at least 6
months of coumadin
- captopril, metoprolol
- follow up echo in [**12-24**] months
**n.b. the patients' INR was 1.9 on discharge. He was given
lovenox once on discharge as a bridge in anticipation of his INR
becoming therapeutic on coumadin the next day.
.
c) Rhythm - in NSR with RBBB. Pt was at high risk for
reperfusion arrhythmias and conduction disease/CHB with
progression of MI. Given his low EF he may become at risk for
arrhythmias should his EF further deteriorate
- will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in 2 months to assess need
for intracardiac defibrillator
-continue metoprolol
.
4. RA - on plaquenil/diclofenac as outpt. Held diclofenac given
multiple agents that could be irritating to stomach. Continued
plaquenil.
-will follow up with rheumatologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 67929**], regarding when/
how to restart suitable RA drugs.
.
5. Hyperglycemia - no h/o DM but elevated FSG here. Screen for
DM.
- hgb A1C borderline high
- follow glucoses QID, covered with SSI. Had no insulin
requirement by admission.
- counseling for heart healthy diet.
.
6. FEN - cardiac diet. Replete lytes prn.
.
7. Prophylaxis included: protonix while NPO, colace to prevent
straining, and heparin/coumadin secondarily for DVT prophylaxis
.
8. Code status remains full, confirmed with pt at admission.

Service: VASCULAR
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Left thigh swelling.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 58-year-old black
female, with a past medical history significant for severe
peripheral vascular disease, who has had multiple MIs and
CVAs. The patient has end-stage renal disease on
hemodialysis. She has previously had a left fem-[**Doctor Last Name **] bypass
with [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex in [**2108**], which occluded and was later revised
to a composite graft, one-third [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex and two-thirds
greater saphenous vein fem-[**Doctor Last Name **] on the left. She also
underwent a left axillofem-fem bypass and thrombectomy later.
In [**2116-1-5**], she was noted to have a left lower quadrant
mass. A CT scan at that time defined a 4x5 cm collection
around the graft. This was treated conservatively.
Subsequently, in [**Month (only) 359**] of this year she became febrile with
abdominal pain and presented to an outside hospital. A CT
demonstrated increasing perigraft fluid, but was noncontrast
study. Blood cultures were positive for GPCs. She was given
a dose of vanco and gent, and this was given at her last
hemodialysis. Her hemodialysis schedule is Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday. The patient is now admitted for further
evaluation and treatment.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. History of coronary artery disease, status post MI.
2. History of CVA.
3. History of peripheral vascular disease.
4. Type 2 diabetes, noninsulin dependent.
5. Hyperlipidemia.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY:
1. Axillofemoral-fem bypass.
2. Left fem-[**Doctor Last Name **] with revision x 2.
3. Left AV graft fistula.
4. Right carotid endarterectomy.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Glyburide 5 mg [**Hospital1 **].
2. Isosorbide dinitrate 20 mg tid.
3. Lisinopril 10 mg qd.
4. Lasix 80 mg qd.
5. Lipitor 10 mg hs.
6. Prevacid 30 mg qd.
7. Labetalol 100 mg tid.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is a smoker currently.
Quantitation of smoking unknown. She does have a history of
alcohol and drug abuse, but has abstained from alcohol or
drug use.
PHYSICAL EXAM: 99.6, 84, 20, 100% on room air.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: This is a well-appearing female,
oriented x 3, diminished recall.
HEENT EXAM: Unremarkable. There is a Hickman catheter and a
right IJ.
PULSE EXAM: Shows palpable carotids bilaterally with a right
carotid bruit. Brachial and radial pulses are palpable at
4+. On the right 3+ femoral, 2+ popliteal, dopplerable DP,
and 3+ PT. On the left, the femoral is 2+, popliteal 2+, DP
dopplerable, PT 3+ palpable.
CHEST EXAM: Shows left an axillary incision well-healed. A
catheter for hemodialysis in the right subclavian area. Her
chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally.
HEART: Regular rate and rhythm without murmur, gallop or
rub.
ABDOMINAL EXAM: Soft, nontender. There is in the left lower
quadrant a multilobular mass which extends to the left groin.
It is nonpulsatile.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the vascular
service. Infectious disease was consulted. This is a
patient with known MRSA. Recommendations were blood
cultures, wound cultures. Gent and vanco should be
continued. Gent should be dosed when level less than 2.0 and
this should be a singular dose and then discontinued. The
vancomycin should be dosed when random level less than 15.
They felt that the Flagyl could be discontinued.
The patient underwent on [**2116-12-15**] I&D of the left thigh
abscess with drainage. I&D was done after undergoing an
ultrasound localized needle aspiration of the left groin
site. The Gram stain of the fluid demonstrated gram-positive
cocci in pairs and clusters. This was identified as staph
coag positive, heavy growth. Anaerobes and fungal cultures
were negative. The patient was MRSA from the flank abscess
fluid cultures. The patient was continued on vancomycin and
dosed at a random level.
The renal service followed the patient and managed her
hemodialysis needs. The patient continued to be followed by
infectious disease, and a diagnosis of MRSA bacteremia and
perigraft infection was determined by cultures. The patient
required multiple blood cultures for recurrent high fevers.
She was placed empirically on Flagyl for anaerobic coverage.
Stool cultures were sent, and the patient was positive for C.
diff. She was empirically begun on Flagyl. After a 2-week
course of Flagyl, the patient's most recent stool culture
from [**1-10**] was negative for C. diff.
On [**2116-12-21**], the patient underwent a redo right
axillobifemoral bypass with removal of the infected left
bypass graft, and a right #15 Quinton catheter was changed
over a wire. There was noted to be purulent collection of
fluid on the distal aspect of the left axillofemoral bypass.
There was extensive fibrinous changes on the prior sartorius
muscle area. The patient did require 4 units of packed red
blood cells and 2 units of FFP intraoperatively. PTFE was
used for the right axillobifemoral bypass. The patient
tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the PACU
in stable condition. She was placed on an Insulin drip for
glycemic control.
The patient was reintubated on postoperative day #1. Blood
gases were 7.31, 31, 184, 16-9 on an FIO2 of 40%. She was
transferred to the SICU for continued monitoring and care.
She had been placed on Levofloxacin and dopamine for
vasopressor support, inotropic support, and this was slowly
begun to be weaned on postoperative day #2. Her
postoperative hematocrit after 5 units of packed red blood
cells was 34, white 18.0, BUN 29, creatinine 4.4, K 4.5. Her
CK was 57, MB 4, troponin 1.10. The patient did have a
metabolic acidosis on postoperative day #1, and she was
treated with bicarbonate IV infusion. The patient was
followed by the cardiology service. They did not feel that
the troponin levels were true myocardial infarction.
With the broadening of her antibiotics and drainage of the
wound, there was improvement in her white count. She
received a unit of packed cells x 2. Her post-transfusion
crit was 32.9. Blood cultures, as of date, from [**12-9**]
through [**12-16**] were no growth. The [**12-8**] cultures grew staph
coag positive. The [**12-19**] C. diff was negative. The catheter
tip on [**12-12**] was staph epi. The wound culture continued to
grow MRSA. The patient remained intubated with JPs in place.
She required an additional 2 units of packed red blood
cells. Post-transfusion crit was 32.9.
Nutritional services was requested to see the patient. They
felt that she had caloric nutritional needs of 1,588-1,900
cal, 25-30 cal/kg. Protein needs were 1.3-1.5 gm/kg. A
multivitamin and mineral supplement was reinstituted.
On postoperative day #3, the patient required a unit of
packed red blood cells for a hematocrit of 28.6. She was
continued on Levophed and dopamine for inotropic and
vasopressor support. Her IV fluids were discontinued. The
patient was begun on tube feeds, and she remained in the
SICU. She was placed on CPAP with pressure support of 5
which she tolerated well. Her post-transfusion crit was
28.5. The white count continued to show improvement at 17.6.
The cultures were no growth. Urine was no growth. She
remained in SICU. The JPs were removed on a graduating
basis. Line cath was changed on [**12-12**]. This tip grew staph
epi, oxacillin resistant. The patient was weaned off her
Levophed by postoperative day #4. She continued on CPAP with
an FIO2 of 40%, blood gas 7.44, 34, 179, 24 and 0, 98% O2
sat.
On [**2116-12-25**], the right internal jugular Quinton line was
changed over a guide wire without difficulty.
Post-transfusion crit was 30.9. A white count showed some
increase to 20.1. The patient continued to run low-grade
temperatures. The patient was transfused on postoperative
day #6 for a hematocrit of 27.9. Post-transfusion crit was
29.9. White count remained persistently elevated at 20.6.
The patient was extubated on postoperative day #7. Tube
feeds were held, and TPN was instituted secondary to an acute
episode of respiratory decompensation. Stool for C. diff was
sent and this was positive. The patient was placed on Flagyl
on [**2116-12-28**].
A Swan-Ganz catheter was placed on postoperative day #7
without difficulty. Chest x-ray was unremarkable. A new
arterial line was also placed at the same time without any
difficulty.
The patient underwent LENIs of the pelvic veins which were
negative; this was on postoperative day #8. White count
remained stable at 20.2, hematocrit 28.4. The patient's
dopamine was finally weaned off by postoperative day #9. Her
post-transfusion crit was 32.9. Epogen was instituted. The
patient did require Haldol dosing for an episode of confusion
with improvement with the Haldol.
The patient was transferred from the SICU to the VICU on
[**2116-12-31**]. Calcium acetate 667 mg tablets tid were
instituted. Repeat blood cultures were sent. The patient's
central line was discontinued on postoperative day #12, and a
PICC line was placed. Her white count showed improvement
from 28.3 to 22.7. She was continued on her vancomycin and
Flagyl. Because of the patient's persistent white count
elevation, the patient was pancultured, and urinalysis was
requested which was positive for bacteria, and RBC greater
than 50, and WBC. The right thigh incision was I&D on
postoperative day #3, and cultures were sent. Normal saline
wet-to-dry dressings were begun.
There was an improvement in her confusion. Her white count
remained elevated at 24.7, but the patient was afebrile. She
was continued on TPN. The patient remained in the VICU.
The patient underwent a swallow evaluation on [**2117-1-4**]. It
noted that the patient presented with functional speech,
language and swallowing despite confusion and disorientation.
She just has some oral candidiasis. There were no overt
signs or symptoms of aspiration. They recommended that we
could continue a regular diet with liquids, regular and soft
solids, and treatment of the oral thrush. TPN was weaned on
[**2117-1-4**].
Vancomycin was discontinued on [**2117-1-5**]. The patient was
begun on Linezolid 75 mg q 12 h for VRE. The [**Last Name (un) **] service
was consulted on [**1-5**] for management of her diabetes.
Adjustments in her Insulin regime were made secondary to
persistent hyperglycemia. Last JP was discontinued on
[**2117-1-6**]. Blood cultures 11/28 grew VRE. Urine culture grew
VRE. C. diff was positive. With Insulin adjusting, there
was significant improvement in her glucose control. With the
start of Linezolid there was improvement in the patient's
total white count, and blood cultures were no growth.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Chest pain.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 57 year old male with
hypercholesterolemia and known coronary artery disease status
post coronary artery bypass graft in [**2130**] with quiescent
disease since then, not requiring sublingual Nitroglycerin;
chest pain either. He presented with one day of chest pain
that began this morning while putting up wallpaper. The
patient noted ten out of ten chest pain, substernal chest
pain with no radiation with associated diaphoresis but no
shortness of breath, lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting.
The patient took three sublingual Nitroglycerin that had
already expired without effect, called Emergency Medical
Services where he received Nitroglycerin spray times two
without effect as well.
At the outside hospital, he was noted to have ST elevations
in leads II, III and F plus reciprocal ST depressions in
leads V1 through V2. The patient received ReoPro and
Retavase at full dose as well as Nitroglycerin and aspirin at
the outside hospital. There was no change in his chest pain,
therefore, the patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 346**].
In the Catheterization Laboratory here, he was noted to have
a pulmonary arterial pressure of 38/21 with a pulmonary
arterial mean of 26. A PCWP of 19. All grafts were found to
be open. The right coronary artery was noted to have a 30%
proximal stenosis and a mid-99% stenosis which was stented.
After catheterization, the patient was made chest pain free.
Note: The patient may have become transiently hypotensive at
the outside hospital after Nitroglycerin.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypercholesterolemia.
2. Coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction
in [**2128**] and [**2130**]; coronary artery bypass graft in [**2130**] where

children and he lives in [**Hospital1 **].
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Temperature 97.7 F.; blood pressure
113/75; heart rate of 76; O2 saturation of 100%. In general,
alert and oriented times three in no acute distress. HEENT:
Normocephalic, atraumatic. Pupils are equal, round and
reactive to light. Extraocular motions are intact.
Oropharynx is clear. Pulmonary clear to auscultation
bilaterally, anteriorly. No wheezes. Cardiovascular:
Regular rate and rhythm; no murmurs, rubs or gallops.
Abdomen nontender, nondistended, normoactive bowel sounds.
No hepatosplenomegaly. Extremities with no cyanosis,
clubbing or edema.
LABORATORY: White blood cell count of 9.4, hematocrit 35.2,
platelets 174. INR of 1.4. Sodium of 141, potassium of 4.4,
chloride 111, bicarbonate of 24, BUN of 11, creatinine of
0.7, glucose of 107.
CK 1345. Arterial blood gases 7.31, 46, 120.
EKG post catheterization revealed elevations in T and F, poor
R wave progression, and T wave inversions in V5 through V6,
II, III and F.
ASSESSMENT: This is a 57 year old male with coronary artery
disease, now with new right coronary artery disease,
plus/minus inferior myocardial infarction.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. CARDIAC: Status post right coronary artery intervention.
The patient is now made chest pain free and was
hemodynamically stable. He was continued on aspirin and
Plavix and ReoPro for twelve hours. A beta blocker was
started at low dose and his ACE inhibitor was continued.
Fasting lipids were checked and were found to be a total
cholesterol of 114, HDL of 41, LDL of 58 and triglycerides of
73. He was continued on his Lipitor. He was continued on
Telemetry and his CKs were cycled and were found to be
trending down.
Nitroglycerin and morphine was avoided given possible right
ventricular involvement. He underwent an echocardiogram the
next morning which revealed an ejection fraction of 35 to
40%, a normal left atrium and left ventricle and right
ventricle. Moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction,
mild mitral regurgitation; akinesis in the basal inferior,
mid to distal anterior and apical areas.
He also underwent an electrophysiology consultation in order
to do a single average EKG to assess his sudden risk for
death and this was positive; therefore, as an outpatient he
will complete this work-up by undergoing a T wave alternans
test as well as a Holter Monitor.
The patient was transferred to the Floor on [**3-17**] and
was doing well. His beta blocker was titrated up, his ACE
inhibitor was continued, and he was doing well and was stable

subclinical hypothyroidism, recent molar pregnancy resulting in
miscarriage, adjustment disorder following miscarriage who was
brought to ED by husband following tricyclic anti-depressant
overdose. Per husband, patient has been very depressed since
miscarriage, especially so for past week. 2 days PTA, patient
expressed desire to cut wrists with steak knife. On day of
admission, patient did not express any frank suicidal gestures
to husband but was acting strange. Around noon, husband noticed
that patient was drinking glass of water in bedroom and later
found empty pill bottle of Nortriptyline which was dispensed
with quantity of 30, he did not know how many pills were
actually in bottle. He thought medication was muscle relaxant.
Patient slept for a few hours after ingestion, then awoke to go
to family event. On way to event in car, patient felt nauseous
and expressed desire to return home. Patient also having menses,
so husband assumed nausea/feeling unwell was related to this. On
arriving home, husband noted patient to be very lethargic and
did not appear well, so he brought her to the ED around 6 or 7
PM.
.
In the ED, initial VS were T 97.5; HR 125; BP 106/66; RR 16; 97%

Service: Vascular Surgery Service
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old
gentleman who is a former surgeon who was admitted at
midnight with right foot numbness and decrease in movements
and decrease in temperature of the right foot. However, the
patient denies pain on initial presentation and the patient
has experienced recent fall with no trauma to the right lower
extremity. He denies claudication or resting pain. The
patient is ambulatory upon arrival to the Emergency Room.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for hypertension, coronary
artery disease, status post myocardial infarction times two
and transient ischemic attacks.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Status post left carotid
endarterectomy and status post appendectomy, status post open
cholecystectomy, status post transurethral resection of
prostate and status post hip replacement.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Detrol 4 mg p.o. q.d.; Nifedipine
30 mg p.o. q.d., Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o.
b.i.d.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On presentation the has palpable
femoral pulse bilaterally, palpable popliteal triphasic
bilaterally. No dopplerable dorsalis pedis or posterior
tibial on the right side. He has monophasic dorsalis pedis
and monophasic posterior tibial on the left side.
HOSPITAL COURSE: At this time the patient was diagnosed with
having peripheral vascular disease despite his long history
of claudication. The patient was put on heparin for
anticoagulation and the patient was admitted to the Vascular
Surgery Service. Emergent arteriogram showed acute
thrombosis of the right atrial artery. The patient was begun
on total parenteral alimentation treatment and Cardiology was
called to assess the patient's risk for bypass surgery.
Cardiology cleared the patient for bypass surgery. The
patient had preoperative laboratory work done which showed an
ejection fraction of 30%. The patient was taken to the
Operating Room on [**3-28**] and underwent a right femoral
tibial bypass graft with greater saphenous vein in situ graft
with valve lysis by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1476**]. On postoperative day #1
the patient was noted to have loss of pulse signal and graft
pulse was no longer palpable. The patient was also noted to
have oozing from the incision site. The patient's pulse was
noted to be decreased on postoperative day #1 and the
patient's condition was guarded at that time. On
postoperative day #1 the patient had a brief episode of
bradycardia and a pacing Swan was placed and from
electrocardiogram the patient appeared to have a right bundle
branch block that was newly developed. Cardiology was on
board and Lopressor beta blockade was discontinued. At the
time due to the critical nature of the patient's condition
the patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit and
the patient's renal function appeared to be worsening and
Nephrology was consulted. With their recommendation the ACE
inhibitor was discontinued and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs were discontinued. The patient was
begun to be given transfusion. The patient appeared to have
an acute myocardial infarction postoperatively and renal
failure secondary to lack of volume resuscitation. The
patient was transferred onto the Intensive Care Unit in
guarded condition. On postoperative day #2, on repeat
enzymes, the patient's peak CK appeared to be around 700 and
it was clear that the patient had perioperative myocardial
infarction and the patient was kept in the Intensive Care
Unit to stabilize his cardiac and renal status. On
postoperative day #3 the patient's graft appeared to be
viable. The patient has a warm foot and palpable dorsalis
pedis on the right foot. The incision appeared to be still
slightly oozy and the patient had Ace bandage wrap around the
right leg. On postoperative day #6 the patient was noted to
have a lower gastrointestinal bleed and bled in stool and
Gastroenterology was consulted. It was on their
recommendation heparin was discontinued and the patient's
bleeding appeared to stop and Gastroenterology recommended
outpatient colonoscopy in the future. On postoperative day
#8 the patient's condition appeared to be improving and the
patient's renal function appeared to be improving and the
patient appeared to be recovering from the acute tubular
necrosis and renal failure. From the cardiology point of
view, the patient's condition is stabilizing and the patient
was transferred onto the Vascular Intensive Care Unit on [**4-6**], which was postoperative day #9. Under Cardiology's
recommendation the ACE inhibitor was increased. Chest x-ray
was taken to assess his cardiac status. The patient was put
on sips for p.o. intakes and the patient appeared to be
improving. On postoperative day #10 after discussion with
the family the patient was made Do-Not-Resuscitate following
the family and patient's wishes. On postoperative day #10 at
approximately 6 PM the patient went into respiratory distress
with audible wheezes bilaterally and a copious amount of
secretion and respiratory treatment with Albuterol inhaler
given and suctioning was carried out. At that time it was
clear that the patient does not want to be nasotracheal
suctioned and appears to be better coherent. The patient at
that time was sating at 96% on 5 liters and it appeared that
the patient went into bronchospasm and retained secretions
with impaired secretion clearance, although after numerous
Albuterol treatment the patient was not able to clear his
secretion and the patient was made Do-Not-Intubate. The
patient expired at 9:30 on [**2169-4-7**].
The patient is deceased on [**2169-4-7**] with final cause, the
patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old gentleman status post right
femoral-tibial bypass graft. His course was complicated by
myocardial infarction and renal failure. His condition
appeared to be improving, however, on [**2169-4-7**], the
patient had absolute bradycardia and became acutely apneic
and the patient developed bronchospasm and retained secretion
which was not able to be cleared by suctioning and the
patient was made Do-Not-Intubate and no intubation was
carried out. The patient deceased from respiratory distress.
The patient underwent autopsy, results pending.

Chief Complaint:
Asthma Exaccerbation
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None Performed
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 44F with history of bipolar disorder and
lifelong asthma who now presents with a new asthma
exaccerbation. The patient reports feeling ill over the weekend,
with signs of an upper respiratory infection, including
rhinitis, puffy eyes, and dry cough. She noticed that she was
feeling increasingly dyspnic over this time, particularly when
walking or during coughing/sneezing. She is not having
difficulty breathing at rest. She has been having increased
coughing with concurrent chest wall pain, the cough is not
productive of any sputum. She does report fever, with home Tmax
at 101.0 on Sunday, [**9-11**], she believes. She denies chills,
night sweats, myalgias. She further denies chest pain (except
during forceful coughing), palpitations, leg swelling, PND,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. She does not report
sick contacts or recent travel. These symptoms have been
bothersome to the point that the patient was unable to pursue
her regular activities, and she has been unable to sleep at
night secondary to coughing. On the day prior to admission, the
patient consulted with her pulmonologist's office (Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]) and was advised to increase her daily fluticasone; the
office also phoned in a prescription for azithromycin x5days. He
advised her to come to the ED, but the patient defered, out of
fear of bad experiences in the hospital. On the morning of
admission, the patient continued to be symptomatic with
shortness of breath, wheezing, and increased dry cough, and she
presented to the ED via a friend's car.
.
The patient does have an extensive history of asthma dating to
birth. She reports that "everything" triggers her asthma,
including seasonal change, activity, dust, pollen, mold, and
more. She has been hospitalized 4-5x for asthma, mostly between
[**2136**]-[**2137**]; she has required steroids in the past but has never
been intubated. Of note, the patient does report experiencing an
episode of steroid-induced psychosis when given high dose IV
steroids in [**2140**], prior to the diagnosis and management of her
underlying bipolar disorder. She is currently followed by
pulmonologist [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and her home medication regimen
includes cromolyn, fluticasone, salmeterol, montelukast, and
cetirizine.
.
In the ED, the patient received Combivent nebulizers x3 along
with a single 500mg dose of azithromycin. She was afebrile and
O2sat was 94% on room air on arrival. She did not require oxygen
at the time. When the medicine team first met the patient in the
ED, she reported feeling generally comfortable, but still

CXR: unchanged 4mm calcified granuloma in RUL, peribronchial
thickening in both lower lobes, no evidence of pneumonia
Brief Hospital Course:
1. Asthma-The patient was initially started on aggressive
albuterol and ipratropium nebulizer therapies alone, and a
decision was made to withold oral steroids given clinical
stability and history of steroid-induced psychosis. However,
throughout the next day, the patient did not show signs of
improvement, with very wheezy, rhochorous lungs and some slight
decrease in O2sat to the low 90s, though she continued to look
well clinically and was able to speak full sentances without
shortness of breath. By the morning of hospital day three, the
patient continued to still sound very wheezy and was requiring
1-2L oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation above the very low
90s, and a decision was made in conjunction with the patient's
outpatient pulmonologist, [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **], to begin oral
prednisone at 40mg daily. Pt showed minimal improvement after
start of steroids. Her dose was increased to 60mg the following
day. Her hypoxia worsened overnight and she was changed to to
IV solumedrol. A CXR from that time showed a new LLL infiltrate
that was read as atelectasis vs pneumonia vs pulmonary infarct.
The patient was started on levofloxacin. She required admission
to the ICU for closer monitoring due to progressive hypoxia
despite steroids and nebulizers. She had a CTA that demonstrated
ground glass opacities and tree and [**Male First Name (un) 239**] morphology suggestive of
viral or an atypical bacterial pneumonia. She was continued on
levofloxacin. She was treated with around the clock nebulizers
and IV steroids and her peak flows imrpoved from 100s to 300.
Additionally, she was given pneumovax and influenza vaccines.
Given her history of mania on steroids, her steroids were
changed to prednisone in preparation for a taper. She was
transferred to the floor where she was weaned off of oxygen and
did well with ambulation. She was discharged with a plan for
steroid taper and close follow-up by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
2. Respiratory Infection-The patient presented with some
evidence of underlying respiratory infection, including a
pre-admission prodrome of URI symtoms such as rhinitis, puffy
eyes, and cough that preceded the development of wheezing and
dyspnea. There was a history of fever to 101 at home as well,
though the patient was afebrile on admission. She has had a
mildly elevated white count in the 12-13 range; no clinical
evidence of pneumonia on chest radiograph. The patient had been
started on azithromycin x5 days as an outpatient and, given this
constellation of findings, a decision was made to continue the
full course of treatment as bacterial etiologies of infection
were included in the differential. With wrosening hypoxia a CXR
was done that showed a possible new infiltrate. A CT chest
revealed bilateral opactities and tree/[**First Name5 (NamePattern1) 239**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 106320**] suggestive
of viral or atypical bacterial pneumonia. A 14 day course of
levofloxacin was prescrbed and patient clinically improved to
complete regimen as an outpatient
3. Bipolar disorder-The patient presented with a history of
steroid-induced psychosis which followed the administration of
high dose intravenous methylprednisolone during an admission for
asthma/mold exposure in [**2140**]. Therefore, the decision to start
even low dose oral predisone was made carefully in this patient
and in consultation with her outpatient psychopharmacoloist.
The patient did report some increased activiation/decreased
sleep even after a single dose of prednisone. The patient was
continued on her outpatient psychiatric regimen including
nightly lithium 1200mg, lorazepam 2.5mg, quetiapine 150mg, and
gabapentin 900mg. Her seroguel and lorazepam doses were
increased per recommendation of patient's outpatient
psychiatrist (Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 106321**]. Pt did well obtaining sleep/rest
with this regimen. She remained in near daily contact with her
psychiatrist by phone throughout her hospital stay. She will
have close follow-up with him while on a steroid taper

Chief Complaint:
Fever
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Amputation/disarticulation of 4th finger on left hand at PIP
joint.
History of Present Illness:
41 y/o with DM, h/o frostbite with chronic finger wound
transfered from [**Hospital3 **] on [**1-18**]. He originally
presented to his PCP 6 days PTA with worsening pain, swelling,
and ? pus production in the left ring finger. Per the pt he
chronically has an open wound at this site. He was seen by his
PCP and treated with Bactrim near the onset of his symptoms,
however did not have significant improvement with this therapy.
Upon arrival at the OSH he recieved 1 gm IV vanco prior to
transfer to [**Hospital1 18**]. He denies F/C/S, rash, abd pain prior to
admission.
.
On the evening of arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] he underwent I+D with
production of frank pus and he was started on IV vancomycin.
Unfortunately cultures from this I+D appear to be lost. A finger
X-ray was concerning for osteo in the left 4th digit. ID was
consulted to help with abx management. Late on [**1-18**] he was sent
to the OR for a washout. The procedure was un-complicated and a
swab was sent for culture. A bone bx was not done at that time.
Per the Hand surgery team the wound has been appearing well
without drainage since the time of surgery.
.
Following the OR ([**1-18**], 2100) PACU notes mention the onset of
diffuse erythema across the face and chest. This was feared to
be a rxn to vancomycin and his coverage was switched to
vancomycin. ID agreed with switching to Linezolid.
.
He became persistently febrile starting [**1-19**] at 9am with Tm of
103.2. Pt has also been progressively tachycardic to 130s, which
appears as sinus tachycardia on telemetry. He transiently had a
BP of 80/50 which resolved within 15 minutes. He was given a
total of 4250cc of IVF [**3-19**] with 1375 of UO. On the evening of
transfer surgery placed a right IJ at the bedside without
complications. 3 passes of the right subclavian were first
attempted without success.

Brief Hospital Course:
OSTEOMYELITIS OF THE 4TH DIGIT ON LEFT HAND: This was confirmed
with MRI. The patient had pus draining from an open wound on
this finger. He was brought to the OR on [**2193-1-18**] for a washout
and following this became septic. His septic picture was
confounded by severe drug reactions to antibiotics (Bactrim and
Vancomycin). He was brought to the ICU and was fluid
resuscitated. He subsequently went to the OR again on [**1-22**] for a
rising white count at which time he underwent a finger
amputation. He was treated with an additional days of linezolid
following the amputation (until [**2193-2-5**]. He remained in the
hospital for several days beyoned his due discharge day to get
approval for Zyvox from mass health. Dermatology was consulted
after patient developed diffuse erythematous rash with pustules
on face and upper body. Dermatology felt the patient likely had
AGEP (acute generalized exantematous pustolosis) secondary to
Bactrim that had been prescribed while outpatient. Biopsy
samples taken that were consistent with AGEP. Per Dermatology
recommendations, patient started on triamcinolone cream, which
provided some improvement. Patient should only use steroidal
topical for 14 days. We also believe that he devloped reaction
similar to red man syndrome from Vancomycin. In regards to his
diabetes, normally it is diet controlled. During
hospitalization, it was controlled with insulin sliding scale.
He was discharged home with VNA and PT. He could not remember
his home medications, he was asked to resume them and follow up
with PCP, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] ([**2193-2-5**]), and hand surgery (was asked to call
the number for suture removal). He will continue Zyvox until he
sees ID on that day. Total discharge time > 30 minutes

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt returned on [**2180-1-11**] for repair of this asymptomatic
stenosis of his right internal carotid artery. Right CEA was
performed on [**2180-1-11**]. Pt recovered well from the procedure,
was hemodynamically stable other than brief low BP immediately
post op. Pt reported significant headache immediately post
operatively and so he was admitted to the ICU and received a
post op head CT w/o contrast. No acute intracranial hemorrhage
or other acute intracranial abnormality was noted. Further
evolution of prior parenchymal hemorrhage in the bilateral
posterior temporal- parietal cortices. Pt stayed in the ICU
overnight on [**1-11**] for close monitoring. On [**1-12**] he was
transferred to the floor around 1600. Pt has been stable, making
good urine, BP at goal of 120. Pt did continue to have a
headache but indicated that it was slightly less severe in the
am of [**1-12**]. Upon arriving on the floor, around 4:00 pt asked his
nurse [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 66019**]l for his head ache. Pt was sitting on the edge
of his bed when the nurse left, talking, vitals signs stable (99
72 121/76 20 99% RA). When she returned pt was found lying
supine in his bed, both legs flexed and externally rotated. pt
skin was warm, but pt was non responsive, a second nurse
believes that pupils were not equal. Nurses immediately began
CPR and called a CODE. CODE TEAM arrived, pt was shown to be in
Vfib. CPR was continued. ACLS resuscitation was attempted.
During the code pt head became very blue, while his body
appeared perfused with femoral pulses noted bilaterally. Breath
sounds were heard bilaterally. After 30 minutes of ACLS
resuscitation/ chest darts were placed for possible tension
peumothorax/pericardial-centesis was attempted in case of
tamponade to no avail. At 1717 CPR was stopped and Pt was
pronounced.

[**2151-10-11**]: EKG
Probable junctional escape rhythm, rate 34. Since the previous
tracing
of [**2151-9-11**] no P waves are seen. The rhythm appears to be a
junctional escape
rhythm. The Q-T interval is significantly prolonged.
Non-specific ST-T wave
abnormalities are noted.
.
[**2151-10-11**]: CXR
Comparison made to prior study of [**2151-9-11**]. The heart is
enlarged. There are prominent vascular markings. Linear
atelectasis is present in the left retrocardiac region.
.
IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with mild congestive heart
failure.
.
[**2151-10-11**]: TTE
Conclusions:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal cavity
size and systolic function (LVEF>55%). Regional left ventricular
wall motion
is normal.
3. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. Trace
aortic
regurgitation is seen.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial
mitral
regurgitation is seen.
5. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
6. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
7. Compared with the findings of the prior study of [**2149-11-21**],
there has been
no significant change.
.
[**2151-10-12**]: CXR
PA & LATERAL VIEWS OF THE CHEST: There has been interval
placement of a dual- chamber pacemaker seen overlying the right
upper chest with leads in satisfactory position. The heart is
enlarged. There is slight upper zone vascular redistribution. No
focal infiltrates identified. There is mild blunting of the
posterior costophrenic angles consistent with small pleural
effusions.
.
IMPRESSION: Interval placement of dual-lead pacemaker with leads
in satisfactory position. Slight upper zone redistribution and
small bilateral pleural effusions consistent with mild heart
failure.
.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. Rhythm: Pt admitted with symptomatic junctional bradycardia.
Pt evaluated by EP who felt this was an indication for pacer
placement. Pt had an urgent dual chamber pacemaker placed on
HD1. Procedure was complicated by a small groin hematoma, which
remained stable. Pacer site looked fine without signs of
infection. Pt was given vanco for a couple of days after the
procedure.
.
2. CAD: Pt has history of multiple admissions for rule out MI
without any history of MI. No prior cath. Had a MIBI in [**1-6**]
which was unremarkable. Pt was continued on home aspirin. Given
her multiple cardiac risk factors, she was started on bb, [**Last Name (un) **]
(does not tolerate ACE), and statin. Would consider repeat ETT
vs. cath. as an outpatient. Pt remained chest pain free and
hemodynamically stable throughout hospitalization.
.
3. Pump: Clinically, pt appeared euvolemic. Pt had mild CHF on
CXR. Pt was continued on usual hemodialysis schedule which
helped to remove volume.
.
4. [**Name (NI) 5964**] Pt was seen by renal and continued on her usual
hemodialysis schedule. Pt was continued on calcium carbonate.
She was given epo during dialysis. Electrolytes remained within
normal limits.
.
5. Mental status/Home safety: Pt was A&O x 3 during the day. Pt
would sundown in the evening, requiring a sitter. It was noted
by daughter (who flew in from out of state) that here mother
seemed more confused than baseline. We did not notice any acute
change in her mental status during this hospitalization. Pt was
evaluated by PT and OT who felt that pt was safe to return home
with home PT. Pt lives with her husband and her daughter.
6. Gastritis: Pt was continue protonix.
.
7. DM2: Diet controlled in house. Pt was put on SSI while
in-house.
.
8. Coagulopathy: Initially elevated PTT and INR. Most likely lab
error, as repeat labs were normal.
.
9.FEN: Pt was put on diabetic diet. Electrolytes were repleted
as necessary to K 4.0 and Mg 2.0
