Date of Birth: [**2144-10-1**] Sex: F
Service: Neonatology
HISTORY: Baby Girl [**Known lastname **] is a 1,540-gram product of a 30-5/7-
weeks gestation born to a 30-year-old G2, P1 woman whose
pregnancy was uncomplicated until several days
prior to delivery when she presented with vaginal bleeding
and abdominal cramping. She was treated with betamethasone and
then transferred to [**Hospital1 69**]. At
[**Hospital1 18**], tocolysis with magnesium sulfate was undertaken.
Rupture of membranes and progression of labor on [**2144-10-1**] led to vaginal delivery. No sepsis risk factors were
noted. Prenatal screens were complete and unremarkable: O-
positive, antibody negative, hepatitis B surface antigen
negative, RPR nonreactive, rubella immune.
At delivery, the infant emerged vigorous. The skin was noted
to be without lesions. HEENT exam was within normal limits.
Bilateral red reflex. Lungs were clear, and she was breathing
comfortably. Heart exam was normal S1, S2. Abdomen was
benign. Neuro: Nonfocal and age appropriate. Genitalia:
Normal female. Hips: Stable to exam. Extremities showed full
range of motion. Anus: Patent and spine intact.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS: Respiratory: Baby
Girl [**Known lastname **] was alternating between nasal cannula and room air
until hospital day #25. Since that time, she has breathing
room air comfortably. At this point, on [**11-26**] day of
discharge, she has also completed a 5-day spell count for
desaturations and bradycardia noted with feeds.
Cardiovascularly: This infant is known to have an
intermittent murmur. She has normal cardiac exam at this time
with normal blood pressures and normal heart rate.
FEN/GI: Discharge weight 2970 grams. Birth weight was 1540
grams. This infant was initially NPO on IV fluids and slowly
advanced on p.o. PG feeds of breast milk 26 with Beneprotein.
On day of life #45, which was [**2144-11-15**], she did
achieve all p.o. feeds with breast milk 26 with Beneprotein,
and she was also breast-feeding on top of that.
GI: Pertinent diagnoses for this infant include
hyperbilirubinemia. She did reach a peak bilirubin of 6.8/0.3
on hospital day #3 for which she underwent phototherapy x3
days. Her rebound bilirubin was 3.4/0.2 and this is now a
resolved issue. At one point blood specks were noted in the
stool. Her abdominal exam was normal and has remained normal.
The mild hematochezia resolved.
Infectious disease: Baby Girl [**Known lastname **] did undergo a 48-hour
sepsis rule out at the time of her birth. All cultures are
negative to date.
Hematology: The most recent hematocrit obtained on [**11-9**]
revealed a hematocrit of 36.9, reticulocyte count of 3.5.
This infant is being discharged on p.o. vitamin E and p.o.
iron as well. She does have a resolved issue of anemia for
which she did have a hematology consult during her 1st month
of life. She was seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of [**Hospital3 1810**].
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] feels that the anemia was multifactorial and due
to her prematurity and physiologic anemia.
Neuro: This infant did have normal head ultrasounds on
[**9-29**] and [**10-29**]. The most recent normal head
ultrasound was performed on [**2144-11-25**].
Sensory: Audiology: Hearing screening was performed with
automated auditory brainstem responses. Baby Girl [**Known lastname **] passed
her hearing screen on [**2144-11-26**].
Ophthalmology: Her most recent eye exam was performed on
[**2144-11-15**] and revealed mature eyes bilaterally, and it
is recommended that she follow up in 9 months.
Psychosocial: The [**Hospital1 18**] social worker is involved with this
family. The contact social worker can be reached at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 55529**].

Admission Date: [**2157-2-14**] Discharge Date: [**2157-5-26**]
Date of Birth: [**2084-7-29**] Sex: M
Service: BLUE [**Doctor First Name 147**].
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 72-year-old
male with a complicated past surgical history of
appendectomy, multiple exploratory laparotomies for small
bowel obstruction and lysis of adhesions and multiple ventral
hernia repairs, the latest of which resulted in
enterocutaneous fistula through a [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex/Marlex composite
mesh. The patient was transferred from a hospital in [**Location (un) 7498**] complaining of enterocutaneous fistulae.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for:
1. Coronary artery disease.
2. Atrial fibrillation.
3. Atrial flutter.
4. Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: The patient was afebrile
at 97.9 degrees. The pulse was irregularly irregular at a
rate of 71. Blood pressure 110/65. Respiratory rate of 18.
Saturating at 95% on three liters nasal cannula. The patient
was alert and oriented times three. Cardiovascular
examination was significant for irregularly irregular rate.
S1, S2. The lung examination revealed hoarse breath sounds
with transmitted sounds and end expiratory wheezing. The
abdominal examination had positive bowel sounds. A Vac
dressing applied over two enterocutaneous fistulae in the
lower quadrants and a third enterocutaneous fistula through
the mesh in the right abdominal area.
LABORATORY ON ADMISSION: White count 8.3, hemoglobin and
hematocrit of 9.7/29.6, platelet count 429,000. Serum
chemistries: Sodium 134, potassium 4.7, chloride 96, CO2 30,
BUN 25, creatinine 0.5, glucose 88. Calcium 8.3, magnesium
1.9, phosphorus 4.7. AST and ALT 10 and 9 respectively. Alk
phos was 211. Total bilirubin was 0.5. Amylase and lipase
were 108 and 38. Albumin was 2.2. PT/PTT were 13.5 and 27.1
respectively with an INR of 1.2.
HOSPITAL COURSE: A vacuum dressing was put over the
abdominal wound site with enterocutaneous fistulae and
dressing was changed regularly by the surgical team. The
patient was made NPO and then initially started on TPN via
PICC line that was placed [**2157-2-14**]. G-tube was changed
[**2-15**] and patient was slowed started on J-tube feeding at
one-half strength starting at 20 cc/hr and slowly increased
to a goal rate of 100 cc. The patient was restarted at
two-thirds strength at 20 cc and rate increased
incrementally. Nutritional consult follow up was done to
assess caloric count and to make sure that the patient was
receiving adequate nutrition. The week before surgery the
patient underwent abdominal chest wall preparation with
Hibiclens everyday and was optimized for Operating Room on
[**2157-4-26**]. On [**4-26**] the patient underwent two part
surgery. The first part was exploratory laparotomy with
removal of [**Doctor Last Name 4726**]-Tex and Marlex mesh, lysis of adhesions,
enterectomy, enterostomy and feeding jejunostomy. During
this surgery, 18 inches of small bowel starting three feet
distally to the ligament of Treitz were removed because the
segment _________ anastomosis of enterocutaneous fistulae.
This first part of the surgery was done by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 957**] and
the Blue Surgery team. The second part of the surgery was
done by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and the Plastic Surgery team and the
procedures included bilateral muscle flap component
separation, abdominal wall reconstruction with left pedicle
tensor fascia lata fascia and split thickness skin graft of
approximately 440 cm squared. The patient underwent the two
part surgery without any complication and postoperatively was
transferred to the Trauma Surgical Intensive Care Unit
intubated in stable condition. On postoperative day one, the
patient was extubated without complications. The patient was
restarted on tube feeds at one-half strength of 20 cc and it
was advanced in rate. During his stay in the Surgical
Intensive Care Unit the patient received appropriate
antibiotics and was transferred to the floor on postoperative
day six without any complications. While on the floor, the
surgical wound had the vacuum dressing changed every other
day by the Plastics Service. On postoperative day seven, the
patient tolerated clear liquids and was advanced to a regular
diet as tolerated with discontinuation of TPN and tube feed
cycled only during the night. By discharge, the surgical
wound has granulated beautifully but still requires vacuum
dressing change every other day. The patient is eating
regular diet with Boost t.i.d. in addition to two-thirds
strength tube feed at 90 cc/hour overnight.
I will now review the rest of the hospital course stay by
system and highlight the most relevant events.
1. Cardiovascular system: The patient has a significant
past medical history of coronary artery disease and atrial
fibrillation and atrial flutter with occasional PVCs. The
patient was put on telemetry and cardiologist consulted. On
[**2-16**], transthoracic echocardiogram was done which
revealed a normal wall thickness with a left ventricular
cavity and left ventricular ejection fraction of greater than
or equal to 40%. The right ventricle was noted to be dilated
by the systolic right ventricular function was within normal
limits. The patient was started on intravenous Lopressor for
rate control and monitored on telemetry. Postoperatively,
the patient had supraventricular tachycardia and Cardiology
Service was consulted again and this was controlled with
intravenous Lopressor, digoxin and amiodarone. The patient
was diuresed with intravenous Lasix and did well. Towards
the end of his hospital stay, the patient had an episode of
bradycardia and this was resolved with discontinuation of
amiodarone and decrease in the dose of Lopressor.
2. Respiratory system: The patient has a history of
long-standing severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The patient was continued on his preadmission medications
which included fluticasone 110 mcg two puffs inhaler b.i.d.,
albuterol nebulizer one treatment q. 3h. p.r.n. and Atrovent
nebulizer treatment one treatment q. 4h. p.r.n. as well as
albuterol one to two puffs inhaler q. 6h. p.r.n. The patient
was also continued on his p.o. prednisone 5 mg q. day.
During his prolonged hospital stay, the patient has always
had productive sputum and had transmitted sounds on lung
examinations. The patient underwent chest PT. Chest x-ray
on [**4-12**] showed questionable right lower lobe infiltrate,
however, clinically patient did not develop any signs or
symptoms of pneumonia.
3. Renal system: The patient's creatinine value was 0.5 on
admission and throughout his prolonged hospital stay the
creatinine values stayed within normal limits.
4. Genitourinary system: The patient had Foley catheter in
postoperatively to prevent contamination of his skin graft
donor site with urine. The Foley catheter was eventually
discontinued with healing skin graft donor site and patient
received terazosin q. hs. The tip of the glans of the penis
had a small ulceration with Foley catheter use. With
appropriate skin care provided, the ulceration has improved
and Foley catheter was discontinued.
5. Hematology: On [**4-11**] to 27th, the patient received two
units of packed red blood cells with a decrease in
hematocrit. During his operation on [**4-26**] the patient
also received three units of packed red blood cells and three
units of fresh frozen plasma. Since his operation, his
hematocrit has been stable at a level of 30.2 +/- 1. The
patient is currently on iron sulfate 325 mg b.i.d.
6. Endocrine system: The patient was covered with regular
insulin sliding scale but did not require much dosage.
During his prolonged hospital stay, the patient received
steroids, parenteral and p.o. forms, because of his history
of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and currently
remains on prednisone 5 mg p.o. q. day.
7. Infectious Disease: On [**3-3**] patient's Kefzol was
changed to penicillin for presumed local cellulitis around
the abdominal wound site, however, patient remained afebrile.
On [**3-21**] gentamicin was added to penicillin for persistent
cellulitis around the surgical wound site. Postoperatively,
patient was started on gentamicin and levofloxacin.
Vancomycin was added to his gentamicin and levofloxacin when
the tissue culture from [**4-26**] came back with Proteus,
Pseudomonas and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Catheter tip culture from [**5-1**] also came back positive
for MRSA and patient was continued on vancomycin,
levofloxacin and gentamicin. On [**5-4**] the urine culture
grew yeast, more than 100,000 colonies, and patient was
started on fluconazole 400 mg. Subsequent urine culture was
negative times two and fluconazole was discontinued.
Levofloxacin, vancomycin, gentamicin and fluconazole are now
currently discontinued. Patient is now only on Keflex 500 mg
p.o. q.i.d. Erythema and induration around the G-tube site
was noted and was treated with Neosporin topical antibiotic
ointment and Betadine with dressing changes. During the
early part of the patient's admission, the patient was also
found to have an area that looked like a fungal infection
over his gluteal regions and has been getting clotrimazole
cream applied two times a day to the affected area.
8. Pain management: The patient was initially managed kept
on morphine PCA and was switched over to p.o. morphine p.r.n.
Neurontin p.o. was added because of patient's complaining of
burning and cramping pain. Postoperatively, patient was
initially sedated with propofol while in Surgical Intensive
Care Unit. When he was awake, patient was using morphine
sulfate PCA. On discharge to the floor patient received
Roxicet 10 cc p.o. q. 4h. with morphine 2 mg IV q. 4h. p.r.n.
for breakthrough pain. During Vac dressing changes, patient
was premedicated with morphine 4 mg to 12 mg IV q.o.d. as
needed in increments of 2 mg IV.
9. Neurology and Psychiatry: Patient remained alert and
oriented times three without mental status changes. The
patient is currently on Celexa and Paxil. Toward the end of
his prolonged hospital stay, the patient complained of some
moderate tremors of the upper and lower extremities and was
evaluated by the Neurology consulting service. It was
recommended that the patient discontinue Neurontin and
mirtazapine and patient was started on quinine sulfate 300 mg
p.o. t.i.d. for muscle relaxation.

V3.
IMPRESSION: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old male with
hypertension, history of tobacco use who presents with
anterolateral non ST elevation myocardial infarction.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. CARDIOVASCULAR: The patient was initially started on
heparin and nitroglycerin drips, metoprolol 25 mg p.o.
t.i.d., continued on ACE inhibitor, aspirin, statin, and was
taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory on [**2109-2-15**].
At catheterization, he was found to have severe three vessel
disease which was discussed with the Cardiothoracic Surgery
Team and as the patient was felt to be a poor surgical
candidate given his chronic steroid use as well as his age,
it was felt that medical maximization would be pursued as
well as potentially intervening on the coronary lesions.
During the interventional portion of the catheterization, the
LAD was stented with 0% residual stenosis. There was a
dissection in the process of catheterization and the left
main dissected into the ascending aorta. This was corrected
with a stent placed in the left main artery with 20% residual
stenosis.
Other findings on catheterization included an 80% left
circumflex lesion at the origin and proximal disease. The
right coronary was 79-90% lesion with collaterals from the
LAD. During catheterization, the patient was becoming
significantly more agitated and was given a heavy amount of
sedation and intubated for airway protection.
The patient underwent a transesophageal echocardiogram to
determine the extent of the dissection of the aorta. TE
revealed a dissection in the proximal ascending aorta which
did not extend beyond the coronary cusp and the patient was
admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit for further intensive
monitoring.
On transfer to the CCU, the patient was noted to be becoming
more hypotensive and an arterial line was placed for closer
monitoring of blood pressure and a central line was placed in
the left subclavian vein after multiple attempts at central
access in the right IJ and right subclavian veins. The
patient was briefly started on dopamine for pressor support
which was discontinued after only being on it for several
minutes.
The patient was noted to have a significant amount of
hematemesis and the hypotension was attributed largely to
blood loss as well as sedation effect. There was possibly
also a contributing factor of chronic steroid use with
relative adrenal insufficiency.
From a coronary standpoint, there was no further evidence of
ischemia or further hypotension the following morning and the
patient was extubated without complications and started on a
beta blocker as well as an ACE inhibitor. TEE had
demonstrated significant LV dysfunction and the patient was
noted to be wet on lung examination. He was started on
increasing doses of ACE inhibitor and was diuresed with one
dose of Lasix.
From a rhythm standpoint, the patient was noted to have one
episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia with four
beats with no other significant ectopy and will be continued
on a beta blocker as an outpatient with no further workup as
far as an EP study given the patient's age and chronic
steroid use.
2. GASTROINTESTINAL: The patient was noted to have
hematemesis post TEE which was felt to be likely due to
traumatic transesophageal echocardiogram. He was lavaged
with an OG tube which showed clearing after only 200-300 cc
of lavaged fluid. While on suction, the lavage fluid turned
pink and then began to have blood in it again. He was
lavaged with 50 cc and it again cleared. As a result, the
patient was transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells and
had a stable hematocrit after this point.
The Gastroenterology Service was consulted and agreed that
likely this was a bleed in the setting of the transesophageal
echocardiogram. The OG tube was recommended to be
discontinued and hematocrits were to be followed as well as
hemodynamics. There was no further evidence of bleeding
either by hematocrit or by hemodynamic monitoring and the
patient continues to be stable at the time of discharge.
3. ENDOCRINE: The patient has a history of chronic steroid
use and was given stress-dose steroids while in the Intensive
Care Unit which were rapidly tapered from 100 mg t.i.d. of
hydrocortisone to 50 mg of prednisone to 30 mg of prednisone
and now back to his 10 mg outpatient dose of prednisone with
no evidence from a pressure standpoint of adrenal
insufficiency and no evidence of electrolyte abnormalities as
the result of the steroids.
4. PLASTICS: While the patient was agitated, he was briefly
restrained when trying to remove his endotracheal tube and in
the process the skin on his hand peeled due to easy
friability from chronic steroid use. Plastic Surgery was
consulted and sutured the laceration on the right hand. They
recommended continuing dressing changes q.d. which will be
done by the visiting nurse. The patient is to follow-up in
the Hand Clinic in two weeks for suture removal and wound
check. The number for the [**Hospital 3595**] Clinic was given to the
patient. This was discussed with his family who will set up
an appointment in two weeks for the hand clinic.
5. PULMONARY: The patient was briefly intubated for airway
protection due to agitation and sedation. He was extubated
the following morning after checking his settings on pressure
support and having adequate ventilation and oxygenation. The
tube was removed. The patient was oxygenating well on his
own postextubation.
6. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: The patient was noted to have a
urinary tract infection likely due to Foley placement and was
treated with a seven day course of levofloxacin which he is
to continue as an outpatient for the next three days post
discharge.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Acute myocardial infarction.
2. Status post left main dissection.
3. Status post left main and left anterior descending artery
stenting.
4. Status post upper gastrointestinal bleed.
5. Hypothyroidism.
6. Polymyalgia rheumatica.
DISCHARGE CONDITION: Good. The patient was seen by Physical
Therapy and was felt to be walking well on his own and will
be continued to be followed as an outpatient with home PT as
well as visiting nursing for dressing changes and
medications. The patient is to follow-up with the Hand
Clinic in two weeks as well as his primary care physician,

placement in the Left anterior descending artery
Discharge Condition:
AAOx3
Chest pain free
Ambulating
Discharge Instructions:
During this admission, we found that you had a myocardial
infarction (heart attack) that involved the front of your heart.
This was due to "clogged arteries." The main clogged artery was
opened and a stent was placed there. For this reason,
Plavix(clopidogrel) has been added to your medication regimen.
It is very important that you remain on this medication to
prevent the stent from getting blocked.
.
Please adhere to the medication regimen that we have outlined
for you.
- please stop taking the diltiazem at this time.
- please stop taking the viagra at this time
.
- we have started you on 5 new medications:
- Plavix(clopidogrel) - to prevent your stent from clogging
- Warfarin(coumadin) - a blood thinner
- Toprol XL(metoprolol) - for blood pressure control
- Lisinopril - for blood pressure control
- Lovenox(enoxaparin) - for 7 days - a blood thinner
.
- Please only take the medications that we have listed on the
next page. And stop the ones that we have told you to.
.
. You need to be followed by a cardiologist for this recent
heart attack. This should ideally be done within the next [**2-10**]
weeks. Please have your primary care provider refer you to a
cardiologist at the [**Hospital1 1474**] VA or another location which is
convenient to you.
.
****You need to be seen on Monday at the VA to have your blood
work checked. You need to have your INR checked. If this number
is >2.0, then you can stop taking the Lovenox. Please call the
VA on [**2175-11-17**] and explain to them that you have had a major
heart attack and that you need to have your blood checked.****
Followup Instructions:
You need to schedule an appointment with a cardiologist within
the next 3-4 weeks.
.
You need to schedule an appointment with your primary care
doctor.

History of Present Illness:
69 year-old man from [**Location (un) 3844**] with a history of atrial
fibrillation on warfarin and hypertension presents as a transfer
from [**Hospital3 **] for further management of a non-traumatic
right basal ganglionic hemorrhage. The patient was in his usual
state of health until this evening, when he was sitting at a
dinner party and noted his left hand to be "falling asleep."
All
of the sudden, his left face felt "like novocaine" and his left
foot was "useless." His left face was drooped and his speech
was slurred, according to family who had observed the event. He
seemed to be leaning to the left. 911 was called. The patient
states that he had difficulty moving or feeling his left side by
the time EMS arrived. He was brought to [**Hospital3 25150**].
On arrival to [**Hospital1 **], his blood pressure was noted to be
204/110. He was noted to be moderately dysarthric, with left
facial weakness. He had a "moderate" left hemiparesis.
Reflexes were apparently "normal" and no sensory deficit was
described. He was noted to have abnormal finger to nose
testing, though laterality was not specified. INR was 3.15.
Head CT at 8:25 pm
revealed a 10 x 13 mm right basal ganglionic hemorrhage without
shift or hydrocephalus. He was given 10 mg IV x 1 and started
on a nitroprusside drip, titrated to a systolic blood pressure
of 160. The patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] by med-flight for
further evaluation. Here he was loaded with 1 g phenytoin and
ordered for 2 units FFP. Neurology was consulted. A repeat
head CT was performed here at 10:40 pm was stable by report.

PCXR - No evidence of CHF or pneumonia.
MRI/MRA brain - Small area of hemorrhage in the right thalamus.
No definite underlying lesion identified. No evidence of acute
infarct, midline shift or hydrocephalus. Absent flow signal in
the distal left vertebral artery could be due to occlusion in
the neck. Otherwise, normal MRA of the head. No abnormal
vascular structures are seen to indicate arteriovenous
malformation around the hemorrhage.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient admited to NICU for blood pressure control. Most likely
etiology of the right basal ganglia bleed was hypertension.
Being on Coumadin may have worsened the bleed, but it does not
appear to have been the primary etiology. He was subsequently
transferred to the floor after repeat CT brain imaging showed
stable bleed in the right basal ganglia. Patient had a
mechanical fall hitting his head and sustaining a laceration
which was closed by plastics on [**2132-10-24**]. Repeat NCHCT was
unchanged. He had runs of atrial fibrillation with rapid
ventricular response. Metoprolol was started with improvement
in rate control and blood pressure values.

Date of Birth: [**2052-9-4**] Sex: F
Service: ENT
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient was admitted with a
history of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma status post
supraglottic laryngectomy in [**2107**]; no chemotherapy or
radiation therapy at that time. The patient subsequently had
a right neck mass which was a recurrence in [**2114**]. At that
time, she had chemotherapy with Cisplatin and 5FU plus
radiation therapy and had a tracheostomy done at that time in
[**2114**]. The Tracheostomy was then closed later in [**2114**].
The patient presented recently to [**Hospital 26260**] Hospital on
[**2116-4-25**], to the Emergency Department in respiratory
distress and was intubated orally with laryngoscope and much
difficulty. CT of the neck was consistent with recurrent
disease. There was an attempt in the Operating Room on [**2116-4-28**], to extubate with fiberoptic evaluation, which
revealed however, that she had edematous AE fold, 1-2 mm
airway, poor vocal cord abduction, and the patient had
stridors after extubation and was then reintubated at that
time and transferred to the [**Hospital1 **] Hospital
for further management.
The patient presented on [**2116-4-29**], in the evening, to
have her tracheostomy redone tomorrow.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: As above, as well as alcohol abuse,
intravenous drug abuse, hypothyroidism, depressions, sleep
apnea, hepatitis C, herpes zoster.
ALLERGIES: NO KNOWN DRUG ALLERGIES.
MEDICATIONS: Colace, Albuterol, Atrovent, Solu-Medrol 40 mg
b.i.d., Prevacid 30 mg b.i.d., Synthroid 50 mcg q.d., Remeron
15 mg q.h. p.r.n., Ativan p.r.n., Vancomycin.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient denied alcohol or intravenous
drug abuse currently, as well as tobacco.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: General: On presentation, the patient
was awake, was communicative, but intubated. She was
communicative via writing on a pad. Neck: Exam revealed old
scars from post radiation therapy treatment changes. The
larynx was fairly mobile. Lungs: She had decreased breath
sounds of the left lung base. Extremities: There was trace
edema bilaterally of the lower extremities.
ASSESSMENT AND PLAN: This was a 52-year-old woman with
recurrent laryngeal cancer with airway obstruction secondary
to her second recurrence of the disease. She was admitted
under Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit with a
plan for tracheostomy. The patient was taken to the
Operating Room on [**2116-4-30**].
HOSPITAL COURSE: She underwent tracheostomy and rigid
laryngoscopy. Findings were that of a small anterior mass,
anterior to the left vocal cord. Biopsy was sent to
Pathology. She was then returned to the SICU. The patient
had her vent-trach weaned and was then transferred to the
floor on [**5-1**], which was postoperative day #1, at [**Hospital6 1760**] on postoperative day #3 from
the previous operation.
Postoperatively, the patient was kept on Vancomycin. She had
a good cough. The tracheostomy and the airway were patent
and well secured. Physical Therapy helped with ambulation.
It was noted that she had right arm swelling, and she had had
a PICC line in the right arm which was then removed, and
subsequently the PICC line was placed in the left side.
On [**2116-5-4**], the patient was found to have a deep venous
thrombosis in the right upper extremity on ultrasound and was
treated with Heparin. She was continued on Heparin, and when
she was therapeutic, she was started on Coumadin with a goal
INR around 2.0. She also had a Hematology/Oncology consult.
A CT of the head and neck was done which did not reveal
obvious recurrent disease. The patient also a had a right
arm elevation ...................., in addition to her
Heparin and Coumadin ..................
The Foley was discontinued successfully. She continued to
have a good airway and patent tracheostomy. Finally on the
17th, the INR was 2.2. Heparin was discontinued. The
patient was kept on Coumadin ............... and Vancomycin.
Plans were made for discharge home with services on [**5-13**].
The patient was seen by Respiratory during her hospital
course. She was able to cough and clear her secretions. She
is going home on Vancomycin. She is to get her INR checked
via her primary care physician [**Name Initial (PRE) 20515**].
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: She will go home on all of her
preoperative medications, as well as saline bolus.
FOLLOW-UP: She is to have follow-up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] in [**8-8**]
days.

Date of Birth: [**2071-7-18**] Sex: M
Service: Cardiothoracic
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 49-year-old gentleman
who has a history of aortic stenosis with increased dyspnea
on exertion over the past year with associated dizziness and
lightheadedness. Cardiac catheter on [**2121-6-18**] showed left
ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 20, an aortic valve
area of 1.3, and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 72%.
Catheterization also revealed no significant coronary artery
disease. The patient was then scheduled for an elective
aortic valve replacement with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1537**] at a later date,
however, on [**2121-6-25**], the patient noticed chest pain and
shortness of breath and presented to the Emergency
Department. He was found to be in rapid atrial fibrillation
and at that time he was treated with diltiazem and discharged
home. The patient was admitted on [**2121-6-26**] to the cardiac
surgery service in preparation for aortic valve replacement.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Hypercholesterolemia. 2.
Hypertension.
MEDICATIONS: Pravachol 10 mg p.o. q.d.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: His physical examination upon
admission was unremarkable with the exception of a grade 3/6
systolic ejection murmur.
LABORATORY DATA: His EKG upon admission was sinus rhythm
with no acute ischemic changes. His chest x-ray upon
admission was also within normal limits.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was taken to the operating room
on [**2121-6-27**] where he underwent an aortic valve replacement
with a limited access incision by Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1537**]. He had a
25-mm CarboMedics mechanical valve placed.
Postoperatively he was transported from the operating room to
the cardiac surgery recovery unit in good condition. He was
weaned from the mechanical ventilator and extubated later on
the day of surgery.
On postoperative day one the patient was noted to have some
atrial fibrillation which was treated with IV diltiazem
through the course of the day. He had been out of bed and
was beginning to ambulate.
On postoperative day two the patient had since converted back
to normal sinus rhythm on the diltiazem. This was
transitioned to Lopressor and the diltiazem was ultimately
discontinued. He was started on Coumadin on postoperative
day two, and transferred out of the intensive care unit to
the telemetry floor. The patient began to progress with
cardiac rehabilitation, increasing ambulation and pulmonary
toilet, and had tolerated that advancement in his activity
level well. The patient had a subsequent episode of atrial
fibrillation with a ventricular response in the 120s the
following day on [**2121-7-1**], which was treated with IV
Lopressor, and he has since converted back to normal sinus
rhythm. He had been started on a heparin drip at that point
due to his atrial fibrillation as well as having a mechanical
aortic valve placed. He had been maintained on the telemetry
floor over the next few days on an IV heparin drip, with a
PTT in the 50-70 range while increasing his daily Coumadin
dosing to get him to a therapeutic level for his mechanical
aortic valve. He has remained in sinus rhythm with good
hemodynamics, and he is now ambulating independently, has not
had any other difficulties during his postoperative course,
and is ready to be discharged today, [**2121-7-4**].
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good; neurologically he is
completely intact. His lungs are clear to auscultation
bilaterally. His heart is regular rate and rhythm. His
abdomen is benign and he has no peripheral edema.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Amiodarone 400 mg p.o. q.d. This is to be continued until
stopped by the patient's primary cardiologist, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 13175**] at his discretion.
2. Lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. x 5 days.
3. Potassium chloride 20 mEq p.o. b.i.d. x 5 days.
4. Ibuprofen 400 mg p.o. q. 6 hours p.r.n. pain.
5. Percocet 5/325, 1-2 tablets p.o. q. 4-6 hours p.r.n. pain.
6. Coumadin 7.5 mg today, [**2121-7-4**], [**2121-7-5**], and [**2121-7-6**].
The patient is to then report to Dr.[**Name (NI) 51522**] office on
Monday, [**2121-7-7**] to have an INR checked and to have his
Coumadin dosed accordingly. His target INR is 2.5 to 3 and
this has already been discussed with the office staff from
Dr.[**Name (NI) 51523**] office.
7. Lopressor 75 mg p.o. b.i.d.
8. Protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Aortic stenosis status post aortic valve replacement.
2. Postoperative atrial fibrillation.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
FOLLOW-UP PLANS: The patient is to follow up with his
primary care doctor in [**11-28**] weeks, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 9969**]. The patient is
also to follow up with his primary cardiologist, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]

Brief Hospital Course:
#Acute blood loss anemia from lower GI bleed: Patient's
presenting vitals were T 97.1, BP 114/77, HR 58, RR 20, Sa 99%.
Patient's HCT was found to be 37 from baseline 41. Patient was
initially admitted to the general medicine floor with plan to
prep overnight for colonoscopy in the morning. Aspirin and
plavix were stopped and his anti-hypertensives were held.
.
After starting prep he had a large bright red bloody bowel
movement and became hypotensive with a blood pressure of
80/palpable. His repeat hematocrit was 33 (from 37) Patient was
started on 1 L with mild improvement in BP (SBP 104). Given the
concern for inability to control the site of bleeding, he was
transferred to the MICU to complete the prep and have a
colonoscopy.
.
In the ICU, the patient received a total of 3 units of PRBCs.
His HCT did not increase appropriately but did increase to 35.7.
He had a colonoscopy the next morning by GI who found
ulceration with 2 visible vessels at prior polypectomy site. 2
clips were placed for hemostasis, they also saw small rectal
ulcers; grade 2 internal hemorrhoids.
.
His HCTs were checked q4 hours for 24 hours and remained stable
33-35. He tolerated clears and then on the morning of diacharge
ate a full breakfast. He had no more bowel movements, no
abdominal pain and he remained normotensive without any more
fluids or blood products. His atenolol and aspirin were
restarted on the day of discharge. He was instructed to restart
his lisinopril on the day after discharge (Sunday) and come to
the clinic for a CBC on Monday. After the results of his CBC,
if HCT is stable, he was instructed to restart his plavix after
discussion with his PCP and his cardiologist. His cardiologist
wand PCP were not [**Name9 (PRE) 12304**] during his admission but an email was
sent to let them know the patient was off his plavix (had DES in
[**2168**]).
.
# Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia: Patient with T. Bili of 2.5 and
I. Bili of 2.3, LDH was increased and platelets were decreased
so there was concern for hemolysis or DIC but it was then
realized that these were checked on a hemolyzed sample of blood
which would falsely elevate these tests. Haptoglobin was normal
and reticulocyte count was 1.8.
.
# Thrombocytopenia: Platelets trended down from 167 to 111. It
was felt most likely dilutional from IVF and packed RBCs. The
patient did not receive any heparin products. He will have an
outpatient CBC on Monday [**1-28**].
.
# h/o CAD s/p DES: No chest pain during admission. EKG was
unchanged. As above, Aspirin and plavix were held, aspirin
restarted. Patient was continued on his simvastatin.
.
# HTN: Patient's anti-hypertensives were held during admission
given hypotension and GI bleed.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname 4223**] was admitted to the NeuroICU after a CT showed
cerebellar hemorrhage. Her neurological status was monitored
very closely and remained unchanged throughout her hospital
course. Her INR was reversed to a goal of less than 1.5 A CTA
was desired for rule out vascular cause of bleed. Due to her
renal insufficiency a MRA was recommended. Given her exterme
claustrophobia, an open MRI was scheduled after discharge.
On [**10-6**] it was noted that there was some swelling to her right
neck- a soft tissue ultrasound was done which was negative. She
subsequenty had one 15 minute episode of Left chest discomfort.
Cardiac work up was unimpressive and cardiology consult felt
that there were no acute cardiac episodes. She was evaluated by
PT and ultimately discharged home.

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt received ASA, Lopressor and Heparin in the ED. Labs of note
were troponin at .11, and a chest x-ray that stated possible
pneumonia in his left lower lobe.
Pt underwent catheterization on [**5-30**] which revealed severe 3
vessel disease, and did not receive stenting. It was then
determined that his best next option would be CABG, CT surgery
was consulted. Pt was monitored on the floor, received SL nitro
for CP and repeat EKGs. Of concern was his renal function,
however his creatinine remained stable around 2.0 pre- and post-
catheterization. He had an echo, carotid US, UA and LFTs
completed before his CABG procedure on [**6-3**] with results above.
Underwent cabg x3 with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] on [**6-3**] and transferred to the
CSRu in stable condition on neosynephrine and propofol drips.
Epinephrine and insulin drips added overnight, slightly acidotic
and transfused on POD #1 as vent wean started. Platelet count
decreased to 88K and HIT panel sent. Extubated on POD #2 and
Swan removed. Went into AFib on POD #3 and amiodarone started as
well as beta blockade and gentle diuresis. Pacing wires removed
without incident on POD #4.HIT negative on [**6-7**] and converted to
SR on amiodarone.Foley removed on POD #5 and transferred to the
floor to begin increasing his activity level. Lethargy improved
and alert and oriented on POD #6. Had some confusion overnight

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This 38-year-old white male has
a history of chest discomfort. He had a history of mitral
valve prolapse and mitral regurgitation. He is status post
cardiac catheterization in [**2154**], which was negative and in
[**2158-4-25**], he had an episode of severe substernal chest pain
associated with diaphoresis, shortness of breath, nausea, and
vomiting. He ruled out for a MI and had exercise tolerance
test, which was negative for reversible defects, but had a
possible small LAD infarct. An echocardiogram at that time
revealed worsening MR and he again had chest pain in [**Month (only) **] and
was admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] for rule
out MI and had a positive tox screen for cocaine, but ruled
out for MI.
An echocardiogram on [**5-23**] revealed a left to right shunt
across the intraatrial septum, a secundum ASD and EF of 75
percent, mitral valve leaflets were myxomatous and elongated.
He had moderate-to-severe mitral valve prolapse with partial
mitral leaflet flail and 4 plus MR. His stress test at that
time revealed no significant ST changes and he underwent
cardiac catheterization in [**2158-5-25**], which revealed an EF of
71 percent, 4 plus MR, and normal coronaries.
He was admitted for elective mitral valve repair, and on
[**7-14**], he underwent mitral valve repair with a quadrangular
resection of the posterior leaflet and an anuloplasty with a
30 mm [**Doctor Last Name 405**] band. He had some bleeding in the OR. His
chest was opened right after it was closed. They had not
left the OR yet, and he had platelet transfusion and his
bleeding subsided.
He was transferred to the CSRU in stable condition. He
remained intubated overnight. He was on Precedex overnight.
He was extubated on postoperative day number one.
Postoperative day two, his chest tubes were D/C'd, and he was
transferred to the floor in stable condition. He continued
to progress and had pacing wires D/C'd on postoperative day
number three.

joint replacements, diastolic heart failure, and ileostomy
complicated by necrotizing fasciitis who present with
constipation. The patient states that it has been several weeks
since he last moved his bowel. He is tolerating po, passing gas
and is having mildly increased output from his ostomy. Patient
denies nausea, vomit, diarrhea, chest pain, palpitations, SOB,
worsening of his leg edema. He was wanting to be manually
desimpacted and requested to be transfered to the [**Hospital1 18**] to be

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is a 33M with a complicated PMH notable for
seronegative spondyloarthropathy s/p multiple joint
replacements, found to be in atrial flutter with HR in 100-120s.
.
#. Rhythm: Atrial flutter with rate in 100-110s on admission.
Rate as high as 150s in ICU. Started on Metoprolol and Digoxin
in ICU. Rate was better controlled on floor with rates in
100-120s. Successfully cardioverted. Back in NSR with rate in
70s to 100. Digoxin was discontinued.
Patient was discharged on Metoprolol 25mg po qhs, to control
heart rate. Coumadin was restarted at usual home dose of 3mg.
Patient was closely monitored on telemetry. Had no significant
events on telemetry after cardioversion.
.
#. Constipation: secondary to high dose opioids and non
compliance with bowel regimen. Abdominal X-ray shows colon full
of stool. Patient was always passing gas, tolerating po, no
peritoneal signs on exam during hospitalization. Continues to
have good ostomy output. Patient is refusing oral bowel regimen,
bowel regimen via ostomy, and enemas. He is insisting on manual
disimpaction under sedation.
.
Surgery was consulted, who initially didn't believe that this
was a surgical issue requiring anesthesia. Anesthesia did not
want him disimpacted after Cardioversion, as anesthesia would
only last 1-2 minutes after Cardioversion. They did not see any
medical indication for prolonged anesthesia in this setting. On
day of discharge, patient was taken to OR for disimpaction under
sedation. Please see operative report for details of procedure.
It was emphasized to the patient that it is important for him to
continue daily oral bowel regimen and as needed suppositories.
He may have some streak rectal bleeding from below after the
procedure which is normal.
.
# Coagulopathy - Patient on chronic coumadin for prior DVT 8
months ago with supratherapeutic INR. INR was held until 2.1,
and then restarted on home regimen.
-Please continue Coumadin, with goal INR between 2 and 3.
.
.
# Pain control: Patient has high level of chronic pain at
baseline.
-Continued on home regimen of MS Contin, Morphine, Clonazepam,
Benadryl, Oxycodone, Seroquel
-Pain service was been consulted. They did not recommend further
narcotics as he is already on very high doses, and they are
contributing to his constipation. They have recommended standing
Tylenol 1000mg q6h, Lidoderm patch, and Neurontin.
Patient continues to ask for IV dilaudid for full body pain. He
has not received any while on the Cardiology service, as it is
not medically indicated at this time.
-Pain service has also recommended outpatient Psychiatry
consultation
-It was recommended that the patient try to taper down on his
narcotics which will help with his chronic constipation.
.
#. CAD: Patient has no known history of CAD. Patient was
continued on Aspirin, and monitored on telemetry.
.
#. Pump: Echo in [**2200-11-25**] was normal. EF > 55% with No LA
enlargement. No evidence of fluid overload
.
# Seronegative Arthritis - Continuee prednisone and bactrim
prophylaxis, per outpatient regimen.

Imaging:
EKG: sinus rhythm
CXR: Low lung volumes which may accentuate the hila, but small
right hilar opacity cannot be excluded, which may reflect
developing pneumonia.
CT head: 3.2 cm right intraparenchymal cerebellar hemorrhage. no
herniation.
MRI head: Right cerebellar hemorrhage unchanged compared to
recent CTs. Little to no mass effect. Multiple additional foci
of prior parenchymal hemorrhage noted in the basal ganglia,
thalamus, pons, subcortical white matter and left cerebellum.
Overall, this pattern is most compatible with amyloid
angiopathy.
ECHO: There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The
left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF 70%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. Mild to moderate ([**1-21**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no
mitral valve prolapse. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen.
There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is
no pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
1) Neuro: Patient presented with symptoms of nausea, vomiting,
unsteadiness. CT scan of the head was performed, which showed a
3.2 cm right cerebellar hemorrhage. Neurology and Neurosurgery
were subsequently consulted and the patient was admitted to the
ICU for close monitoring. No neurosurgical intervention was
required. Antiseizure prophylaxis was not indicated given the
region of the hemorrhage. The patient was managed medically. A
repeat CT scan was performed the morning after admission, which
showed a stable hemorrhage. An MRI was subsequently performed to
evaluate for possible etiologies of the bleed and this showed
multiple additional foci of prior parenchymal hemorrhage in the
basal ganglia, thalamus, pons, subcortical white matter and left
cerebellum. These multiple microhemorrhages noted is most
consistent with a diagnosis of amyloid angiopathy. The
hemorrhage secondary to the amyloid angiopathy was then likely
exacerbated by the patient being coagulopathic secondary to the
Coumadin the patient was on for a. fib (initial INR was 2.9).
The INR was corrected with FFP and Vitamin K. INR should be less
than 1.6 to avoid extension of hemorrhage. The patient continued
to note vertiginous symptoms and was started on Meclizine for
symptomatic relief. The patient was started on baby aspirin (to
avoid further bleeding risks) for anti-platelet activity. A
lipid panel was performed as part of the stroke work-up and this
noted dyslipidemia, so the patient was started on Simvastatin.
Patient's condition gradually improved and he was stable for
transfer to floor. While on floor, patient eventually passed
speech and swallow and was started on regular diet. Patient was
seen by PT/OT who determined that patient would benefit from
rehab placement.
2. Cardiology: Patient initially hypertensive, with goal <160
given hemorrhage. Patient received prn doses IV Hydralazine to
help control blood pressure. For continued elevated BP, patient
was on Metoprolol 50 mg [**Hospital1 **] and Lisinopril 5 mg daily. The
patient continued to require IV doses Hydralazine despite the
standing anti-HTN meds; however, one night after receiving a
dose of IV Hydrlazine for a BP of 170s systolic, the patient
developed an episode of epigastric pain and chest pain without
radiation that was associated with lightheadedness. Patient
became hypotensive at this time with SBP into 80s. An EKG was
performed which showed ST changes concerning for ischemia. A
cardiology consult was obtained and the patient was transfered
back to the ICU for closer monitoring. The ST depression on EKG
were transient and have since resolved. Cariology noted this was
most likely demand-perfusion ischemia. An outpatient stress test
is reccomended to further work-up this event. In a separate
event, patient developed a. fib episode with RVR; heart rate
into 160s. The patient received IV Metoprolol and PO Metroprolol
was increased to 50 mg tid. Patient has remained rate controlled
on this higher dose. Will avoid anticoagulation with Coumadin
for the a. fib at this time given the hemorrhage.
3. Renal: After the hypotensive episode, patient had Creatinine
level rise to 1.4 from 1.2. Determined to be pre-renal and was
likely secondary to hypotension. The [**Last Name (un) **] imrpoved with IVF; it
is currently 1.1. Another possibility for the elevated
creatinine is the addition of Lisinopril for blood pressure
control. The Lisinopril has been stopped. Will need to monitor
BUN and creatinine as an outpatient.
4. Heme: Hematocrit trended down after hypotensive episode with
concurrent drop in Hemoglobin from 13.5 to 11.5. Iron panel was
ordered, there was no evidence of acute blood loss or iron
deficiency anemia.
5. HTN: Patient initially required IV Hydralazine prn for BP
control. Metoprolol now at 50 tid for rate as well as blood
pressure control. Patient initially started on lisinopril for BP
control but given elevated Creatinine, this was swtiched to
Amlodipine 5 mg daily, with possible need to increase to 10 mg
daily in future if BP remains elevated.

Discharge Instructions:
You came to the hospital with sudden onset nausea, vomiting, and
unsteadiness. A CT scan of your brain showed that there was a
bleed in a part of your brain called the cerebellum, resulting
in the above symptoms. This bleed was due to something called
amyloid angiopathy. The bleed was likely made worse because of
Coumadin, the medication you were on for your heart arrythmia,
atrial fibrillation. Because of the bleeding, your Coumadin was
stopped. You were started on a baby ASA for the stroke. You were
also started on a medication called Simvastatin for a high
cholesterol.
While you were in the hospital, you had an episode of low blood
pressure, which caused some EKG changes that have since returned
to normal. The cardiologists would like you to get a stress test
as an outpatient to be followed by your PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] also had an
episode of a fast heart rate, so your Metoprolol was increased
to 50 mg three times a day.
Also, on Friday [**2141-8-4**], would like you to have your kindey
function checked with labwork (BUN, Creatinine) as the time you
were hypotensive seemed to affect your kidneys, though function
has improved with the IV fluids you received.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Heart palpitations and fatigue times two
years with mild shortness of breath.
HI[**Last Name (STitle) 2710**]OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 72-year-old
female with a history of heart murmurs since childhood with
increasing frequency and intensity of heart palpitations,
fatigue and shortness of breath. Over the last several years
the patient sought medical attention, at which time she had
an echocardiogram revealing a "leaky valve." The patient was
then referred to Dr. [**Last Name (Prefixes) **] for a mitral valve
replacement. The patient's echocardiogram which was done on
[**2140-5-20**] showed: (1) Left atrium mildly dilated.
(2) Thickened mitral valve, moderate-to-severe. (3) Mitral
valve prolapse of the posterior leaflet. (4) Torn mitral
chordae. (5) Moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Initial physical
examination included a heart rate of 64, blood pressure
of 138/87, an initial weight of 140 pounds. In general, in
no acute distress. Skin was well hydrated, no rashes. HEENT
revealed pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and
accommodation. Extraocular muscles were intact. No
dentures. No abnormal buckle mucosa. Neck was supple, mild
jugular venous distention. Chest was clear to auscultation
bilaterally. No wheezes or rhonchi. Cardiovascular revealed
a regular rate and rhythm, positive S1 and S2, plus [**2-24**]
murmur heard best at point of maximal impulse. Abdomen was
soft, nontender, and nondistended. Positive well-healed
right lower quadrant scar. Extremities were warm, minimal
edema, varicosities, mild spider veins bilaterally,
nontender. Neurologically, cranial nerves II through XII
were grossly intact. Normal motor and sensory function.
Pulses were 2+ femoral, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibialis,
and radially bilaterally. Negative carotid bruits right or
left.
RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: Electrocardiogram showed normal sinus
rhythm at 62 beats per minute.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted on [**2141-6-26**], and taken to the operating room with the initial
diagnosis of mitral regurgitation. The procedure was a
mitral valve replacement (#33-CE-[**Location (un) **]). The patient
tolerated the procedure well and was transported to the
Postanesthesia Care Unit in stable condition. On
postoperative day one the patient did well in the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit and was transported to the
floor.
On postoperative day two, the patient's chest tube was put on
water seal and discontinued later that day. The patient also
increased ambulation and had her Foley discontinued.
On postoperative day three, the patient continued to do well
with a PT level of 4. On postoperative day four, during the
final physical therapy session, the patient ambulated well
with an oxygen saturation in the 90s, but desaturated to the
middle 80s several times at rest. The patient was
reassessed, and in her latest x-ray which was taken on
[**6-30**] was reviewed. The x-ray showed no changes from the
previous x-ray with no infiltrates suggesting pneumonia. It
was decided that the patient could be discharged to home with
[**Hospital6 407**] and home oxygen until followup.
On postoperative day five, the patient continued to ambulate
well and was reassessed with a PT level of 5. After weighing
the options between rehabilitation and discharge home, the
surgical team, care coordinator, and patient thought she was
well enough to go home.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON DISCHARGE: Temperature 97.7,
pulse 76, blood pressure 98/50, respiratory rate 20, oxygen
saturation was 90% on room air. Cardiovascular revealed a
regular rate and rhythm. Respiratory was clear to
auscultation bilaterally. Abdomen was soft, nontender, and
nondistended. The incision was clean, dry and intact. PT
level was 5.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 52-year-old
male admitted to an outside hospital on [**4-7**] for a four-day
history of dyspnea. The patient was found to be in pulmonary
edema, and further review of systems indicated that the
patient had nausea and vomiting four days prior to the
outside hospital admission. The patient also had the
sensation of abdominal discomfort at that time.
Although no labs were available from the outside hospital,
the patient reportedly had a flat CK but positive troponin,
suggesting nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain were symptoms
of acute myocardial infarction. At that time, the patient
was treated with intravenous Lasix, heparin drip, Aspirin,
ACE inhibitor, Metoprolol, Plavix, and Zocor.
His dyspnea improved, but a TTE at the outside hospital
showed an ejection fraction of 50 percent with severe
inferior-posterior lateral akinesis/hypokinesis. Earlier
this morning, the patient had epigastric discomfort, similar
to that which he experienced recently and was transferred to
[**Hospital6 256**] for cardiac
catheterization.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Type 2 diabetes. 2. Hypercholesterolemia. 3.
Hypertension. 4. Bipolar disorder. 5. Recent dental
infection.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: Lopressor 12.5 b.i.d., Lisinopril
2.5 q.d., Plavix 75 q.d., Zocor 80 q.d., Lasix 40 p.o. q.d.,
Aspirin 325 q.d., Protonix 40 q.d., Depakote 2500 q.a.m.,
Lamotrigine 1000 mg p.o. b.i.d., Gabapentin 300 h.s., Augment
500 t.i.d., Duragesic 15 mg transdermal q.72 hours, regular
Insulin sliding scale.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He smokes [**11-28**] 1/2 packs per day. He quit
alcohol four years ago. He has a remote cocaine history.
His father passed at age 65 secondary to myocardial
infarction and cerebrovascular accident. His mother is alive
at 85.
The patient was brought to the Cardiac Catheterization
Laboratory. Cath showed a mildly diseased left main, mild
diffuse disease in the left anterior descending coronary
artery, and a totally occluded proximal left circumflex with
right-to-left and left-to-left collaterals to the first
obtuse marginal. The patient subsequently had a left
circumflex stent placed. He was also noted to have normal
cardiac input and cardiac index.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs: Temperature 100, blood
pressure 137/80, heart rate 97, respirations 14. General:
He was a disheveled-appearing male in no acute distress. He
had poor dentition with no purulence drainage in his mouth.
HEENT: His JVP was 9 cm. Lungs: He had crackles one-half
of the way up bilaterally. Heart: Regular rate and rhythm.
No murmurs, rubs, or gallops. Extremities: He had 2+ pulses
throughout and had no peripheral edema.
Electrocardiogram at the catheterization laboratory showed
normal sinus at 95, right atrial abnormality, normal axis, T-
wave inversions in I, II and AVF, V4-V6, as well as 1-2 mm ST
segment depressions in V2-V4.
An echocardiogram on [**2166-4-8**], showed an ejection
fraction of 30 percent with severe hypokinesis and akinesis
of the inferior wall, severe hypokinesis of the
posterolateral wall, [**11-29**]+ mitral regurgitation, 2+ tricuspid
regurgitation, and mild pulmonary hypertension.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Coronary artery disease: The patient was continued on
Aspirin, Plavix, and Integrelin for 18 hours. He was also
continued on Lipitor 80 mg p.o. q.d. His cardiac
medications were subsequently titrated. Eventually his
medications were titrated up, and he was switched to
Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lopressor 37 mg p.o. b.i.d.,
and was given Lasix p.r.n. for edema.
During the rest of his hospitalization, his coronary artery
disease issues remained stable.
2. Infectious disease: The patient spiked a fever on [**2166-4-14**] to over 102 degrees. As noted, the patient had a history
of a recent dental infection and had been started on Augmentin
500 mg t.i.d. by the outside hospital. Blood and urine
cultures were subsequently sent and were unrevealing.
The Cardiac Care Unit Team empirically added Clindamycin for
better anaerobic coverage. The Coronary Care Unit Team
requested an inpatient dental consult. The Dental
consult felt that he did not have a dental abscess, and
Panorex films that obtained were unrevealing.
An Oromaxofacial Surgery consult was also obtained, and they
felt that while the patient had chronic dental issues, they
did not believe that his teeth were the cause of fevers (and
they represented chronic infection).
Subsequent work-up of the fevers included placement of a PPD
which was negative. The patient also reported a mild cough
and a [**12-31**] week history of chronic night sweats. A chest x-
ray was obtained which showed a very large left-sided pleural
effusion. This was eventually tapped and was exudative in
nature.
The patient three induced sputums which did not
grow any acid-fast bacilli. Furthermore, as mentioned
previously, he had several series of blood and urine cultures
which were all pending to date. Studies from the pleural
fluid showed no organismss. There were no AFB on
direct smear from the fluid, and fluid cultures were also
negative.
The patient subsequently returned for an addition
thoracentesis, as a CAT scan of the chest (after the initial
thoracentesis) showed that the remaining fluid had become
loculated. An addition 900 cc of fluid was drained. A chest CT
was obtained to evaluate for possible malignancy or granulomatous
disease suggestive of tuberculosis.
CT of the chest showed a small right-sided pleural
effusion, a tiny patchy opacity within the right lower lobe,
and a loculated left-sided pleural effusion which was lying
the major fissure. There were also patchy ground glass
opacities in the left lung. There was a tiny nodule in the
left lower lobe. There were also noted to be mild
cardiomegaly. There was also a small pericardial effusion,
as well as nonpathologically enlarged mediastinal and
axillary nodes. There was no significant axillary
mediastinal hilar adenopathy.
To complete his Infectious Disease work-up, a sinus CT was
also obtained, as the patient had also been complaining of
some sinus pain. This showed minimal mucosal thickening in
the right maxillary sinus. The remainder of this study was
unremarkable.
3. Endocrine: The patient was continued on sliding scale
Insulin, as well as his outpatient dose of Glyburide.
4. Psychiatric: He was continued on all of his outpatient
psychiatric medications. Also Celexa was added 20 mg p.o.
q.d.
Because the patient's acute coronary issues had been
intervened upon, the patient was transferred to the Medicine
Team for resolution of the patient's infectious disease
issues, as well as the issues regarding his pleural effusion.

Arterial Line
Central Venous Line
History of Present Illness:
80 year old woman with past medical history significant for
broncheoalveolar carcinoma who was undergoing an elective
bronchoscopy for biopsy of a LUL mass on [**2183-1-20**]. Approximately
~45 minutes into procedure, the patient became hypertensive ,
rigid and unresponsive, with oxygen saturations falling into the
50s. These symptoms resolved immediately once the bronchoscope
was removed and she was bagged. She was given hydralazine IV
with improvement in her SBP from 2227 to 125. She was
subsequently intubated for airway protection. The patient had
received 3.5mg versed and 100mg fentanyl over 45 minutes. Noted
by IP staff to be very difficult to ventillate when bagmask
initiated.
She was transferred to the MICU with what was thought to be a
dystonic reaction to fentanyl. She was noted to have a right
sided neck mass after CVL placement (during which the subclavian
artery was hit) and underwent an U/S which did not show a
hematoma. She was also noted to have very labile BPs with
systolics going into the 80s after propofol. An arterial line
was placed. She was briefly placed on neo with resultant SBPs
in the 220s and then controlled on a labetolol gtt; once BPs
were well controlled she was transitioned to po meds (norvasc,
isordil). She was extubated without incident on [**2184-1-22**]. She
was also noted to have a UTI (GNR) and was started on
ciprofloxacin.

Bronch [**1-21**]
COMPLICATIONS: Muscle rigidity secondary to Fentanyl resulting
in hypoxemia, airway obstruction and respiratory failure.
Bronch [**1-22**]
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The bronchoscope was inserted via
the endotracheal tube which terminated 2 cm proximal to the
carina. The right-sided airways were within normal limits,
as was the trachea and left mainstem bronchus, except the
presence of severe tracheobronchomalacia. The left lower
lobe was patent, however, the left upper lobe lingular
bronchus was completely obstructed. Endobronchial biopsies
of the soft tissue mass were obtained and sent to pathology.
COMPLICATIONS: None.
Tissue Biopsies of LUL
pending on discharge
Brief Hospital Course:
80 year old woman with complicated PMH including
broncheoalveolar carcinoma for which she was undergoing an
elective bronchoscopy when she had an episode of rigidity,
hypertension and desaturation attributed to a dystonic reaction
to fentanyl and was subsequently intubated and in the MICU. s/p
extubation she was transferred to the floor for observation
prior to discharge back to [**Hospital3 **].
Dystonic Reaction
The patient's rigidity, desaturation and hypertension were
thought to be due to a dystonic reaction to fentanyl. She was
intubated for airway protection and extubated without
diffuculty. She subsequently maintained her oxygen saturations
on room air. Fentanly was added to the patient's allergies.
Broncheoalveolar Cancer
The patient successfully underwent bronchoscopy the day after
her dystonic reaction and biopsy specimens were obtained of her
LUL mass. These were pending on discharge.
Right neck mass
After right sided central line placement, complicated by
puncture of the subclavian artery, the patient was noted to have
a right sided neck mass. This mass was non tender and stable in
size, however, a neck U/S was done to rule out hematoma/aneurism
and was negative. This should be followed as an outpatient.
Labile BP
The patient has a history of hypertension and was on isordil and
norvasc as an outpatient. During her dystonic reaction her
systolic pressure went as high as 225, she was given 10mg IV
diltiazem with good effect and systolic pressure returning down
to 125. Subsequently her ICU course was complicated by lability
in blood pressures, with systolics falling to the 80s with
administration of propofol. For this the patient was briefly on
a neo gtt and pressures again went >200 for which she was on a
labetolol gtt. Prior to leaving the MICU her pressures were
stabilized on her home medications and remained well controlled
through the remainder of her stay.
UTI
In the MICU, the patient was noted to have a urinary tract
infection growing gram negative rods. She was started on a 7
day course of ciprofloxacin for a complicated UTI, which grew
out klebsiella that was pan sensitive (I to nitrofurantoin).
Elevated Cr
Peaked at 2.2 and trended down; likely UTI and prerenal.

The patient will resume her CPAP at night on discharge (she
declined it here).

CBD could be an obstructing stone/choledocholithiasis.
ERCP REPORT: A sphincterotomy was performed in the 12 o'clock
position using a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire.
A single stone was extracted successfully using a balloon. Two
more balloon sweeps were performed that did not reveal
additional stones or sludge.
Impression: The ampulla appeared bulging concerning for an

Cannulation of the biliary duct was successful and deep with a
sphincterotome using a free-hand technique
A moderate diffuse dilation was seen at the biliary tree with
the CBD measuring 13 mm.
The cholangiogram did not definitively show a filling defect in
the distal CBD. However given the clinical picture suggestive
of gallstone pancreatitis and the finding of bulging ampulla
concerning for an impacted stone, a decision was made to perform
a sphincterotomy.
A sphincterotomy was performed in the 12 o'clock position using
a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire.
A single stone was extracted successfully using a balloon.
Two more balloon sweeps were performed that did not reveal
additional stones or sludge.

Brief Hospital Course:
ICU Course:
66F with PMHx of hypertension, s/p CCY [**2089**], who was transferred
to [**Hospital1 18**] from LGH for acute gallstone pancreatitis s/p ERCP
w/sphincterotomy [**3-22**], hospital course complicated by new onset
atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response.
# Afib w/RVR: After the ERCP, the patient developed new-onset
afib w/RVR. Etiology unclear, possibly related to
hypersympathetic tone in the context of acute pancreatitis. TSH
was normal. Cardiac enzymes were negative. Did not anticoagulate
her given CHADS2 score of 1 and bleeding risk from
sphincterotomy [**3-22**] during ERCP. A TTE was performed which
showed normal global and regional biventricular systolic
function, However there was mild left atrial dilatation which
may have been a cause or effect of the atrial fibrillation. The
patient spontanously converted back to sinus rhythm. Given her
CHADS 2 score, use of both aspirin and plavix can be considered.
She was started on aspirin alone, and advised to discuss with
her PCP any additional use of plavix.
# Hypoxemia: Most likely secondary to flash pulmonary edema in
the context of fluid resuscitation and new atrial fibrillation.
Resolved.
# Pancreatitis: Patient is s/p ERCP with sphincterotomy and
stone extraction. LFTs are trending down and she reports
improvement in her abdominal pain. Will continue symptom
management. LFTs improved over course of hospitalization.
# Leukocytosis: Patient presented with normal WBC 6.4 on
admission, which rose to 16.8. Likely due to inflammation from
acute pancreatitis. S/p ERCP w/sphincterotomy; no evidence of
cholangitis on ERCP, but given low-grade fevers (99.5) and
increasing leukocytosis, started empiric cipro. No evidence of
pneumonia on CXR. She will complete one week of ciprofloxacin
at home.
# Hypertension: She was discharged on amlodipine and
metoprolol. She will f/u with her PCP for continued blood
pressure management.
# ? NASH/hepatic fibrosis on ultrasound. PCP should discuss
dietary measures, consider liver biopsy to further assess.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Difficulty swallowing x2 days
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 70-year-old man
with a history of diabetes, hypertension and alcohol abuse,
as well as a recent embolic stroke diagnosed on [**2132-7-19**]. He presented with his initial stroke to [**Hospital3 **]
Hospital. He apparently had multiple small embolic strokes
that left him with a left sided residual hemiparesis. At
that time, he had a CT scan, MRI, cardiac echocardiogram and
Holter monitor. His head CT was significant for an area of
low attenuation at the left head caudate and another area
adjacent to the occipital lobe with no mass effect. His MRI
on [**7-20**] showed a wedge shaped infarct in the medial cortex of
the left occipital lobe and multiple smaller areas extending
from this area anterior into the left occipital lobe and
posterior temporal lobe, also significant for lesions in the
left cerebellar hemisphere, several small punctate lesions in
the brain stem and the right median lower pons and centrally
in the upper pons.
and there was a questionable lesion in the right cerebellar
hemisphere, as well as a possible region in the right
thalamus.
His MRA on [**7-20**] showed stenosis of the right vertebral artery
and abrupt termination of the distal left vertebral artery.
His basilar artery was patent without any significant
stenosis and he had an abnormal appearance of both posterior
cerebral arteries. He had a Holter monitor which showed no
evidence of any abnormal activity. His echocardiogram on
[**7-21**] was a transesophageal echocardiogram which showed his
left atrium was normal size, normal right ventricular and
left ventricular function with mild atheroma of the left
descending aorta and no evidence of a patent foramen ovale
and his tricuspid aortic
valve showed mild thickening. He was eventually discharged
from [**Hospital3 **] Hospital and sent to [**Hospital3 **] Manor for acute
rehabilitation from his multiple infarcts. According to his
primary care physician, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] was doing well in his
rehabilitation until Monday, [**2132-8-4**]. At that time,
he was noted to have significant left residual weakness in
both arms and legs, but he seemed motivated to participate in
rehabilitation and was able to feed himself, as well as
participate in group activities.
According to his primary care physician, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] was an acute
change in his behavior on the Monday prior to admission. He
appeared to be less interested in group activities and to
have a lot more difficulty with feeding himself. He was
observed to take food into his mouth, but then did not seem
to know what to do with it. He had pushed it around, but he
would not swallow it appropriately. He was also observed not
to have any choking with these events. He denied having any
swallowing problems himself when the patient is asked
directly.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: On admission, he denies chest pain,
shortness of breath, palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea,
dysuria and diarrhea.

used to drink about half a bottle of whiskey a day. History
of tobacco use in the past of a half pack per day, however he
has not smoked since his initial stroke on [**2132-7-19**]. He lives
in [**Location 3615**] and has four children in [**State 350**].
FAMILY HISTORY: The patient was unable to answer at that
time.
EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION:
GENERAL: The patient was sleepy, but easily arousable.
VITAL SIGNS: His blood pressure was 173/106. Pulse was 87,
respirations 18.
HEAD, EARS, EYES, NOSE AND THROAT: He was normocephalic,
atraumatic. Oropharynx was clear. Dry mucous membranes.
He had no carotid bruits. Audible breath sounds, but he
would not cooperate with holding his breath.
LUNGS: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.
CARDIAC: Regular rate and rhythm, S1, S2 normal, no murmurs,
rubs or gallops appreciated.
ABDOMEN: Soft, obese, nontender with normoactive bowel
sounds.
EXTREMITIES: He had no edema.
ADMISSION NEUROLOGIC EXAM: Mental status: He was oriented
to person and [**Location (un) 86**], but could not come up with the word
hospital. He said it was [**2093**] and that it was Spring. Asked
how he knew it was Spring and he said because the snow melts
in the Spring. He agreed that he was in the hospital when
asked and when asked if he was in school, he said no. The
patient was moderately attentive, able to name the days of
the weeks forwards and backwards, but unable to get past
[**Month (only) 1096**] on months of the year backwards. He recalled zero
objects at two minutes. He was able to repeat three objects,
however and was able to repeat sentences with mild
dysarthria. His naming was intact to ring, watch, eyeglasses
and pen. He had poor knowledge for current events. He said
that the current president is [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) **] [**Initial (NamePattern1) **]. [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 780**] and when asked
if [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) **] [**Initial (NamePattern1) **]. [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 780**] was still alive, he said probably not.
The patient had no spontaneous verbal output for responding
to questions, without any paresthesias or perseveration. His
sentence length was varied and up to at least five or six
words.
When asked if I was wearing a hat, he appropriately responded
no. He was able to demonstrate brushing his teeth. When
asked to pretend to drink a cup of coffee, he refused. His
writing was very poor. When asked to write today is a sunny
day, he started writing in the middle of the paper and then
quickly ran out of paper on the side of the page and tried to
write on the examiner's hand. When given a piece of paper
with two numbers written on it, he was only to name the
number on the right hand side and ignored the other number.
When asked to draw a clock, he drew a tiny circle on the
right hand side of the page and when asked to draw the
numbers on the face, he drew the 1 and 2 inside the circle
and then proceeded to draw the other numbers off the right
hand side of the paper.
Cranial nerves: His visual acuity was normal, but difficult
to test. He was able to name objects shown to him
appropriately, however when shown a visual acuity card, he
was only able to name the first number and then just appeared
to name numbers randomly. His pupils react normally to
light. His visual fields appeared possibly reduced over the
left hemifield, though again the patient would not cooperate
His optic fundi were normal in appearance. His eye
movements were normal and full. Sensation on his face was
decreased to light touch and pinprick over V1 through V3 on
the left base. He has a left facial droop. His hearing is
intact to bilaterally. He had a palate that
elevated in the midline with a good gag reflex. His
sternocleidomastoid muscles were 5/5 strength bilaterally.
His tongue was midline.
Motor system: The patient had decreased tone in the left
upper extremity and left lower extremity. No adventitious
movements. His drain on the left in his deltoid was one.
Biceps strength was [**4-1**], triceps strength was [**2-2**]. Wrist
flexors and wrist extensors only had 3/5 strength. His
finger flexors and finger extensors had minimal movement.
Iliopsoas on the left was 4/5 strength. His hamstrings were
[**3-4**]. Tibialis anterior was only [**2-2**] and his toe extensors
and toe flexors only had about 2/5 strength. His right upper
extremity and lower extremity had full strength throughout.
Sensory exam was difficult due to poor cooperation, however
the patient had sensation intact to light touch and position
sense in all four extremities. Decreased vibration sense
bilaterally in the lower extremities and pinprick decreased
over the left base and left leg, but not decreased in the
left arm. His reflexes were 2+ and symmetric throughout,
except for plantar responses upgoing in the left and
downgoing in the right. On coordination testing, the patient
was unable to cooperate on left upper extremity because of
weakness, however on his right finger nose finger test he
significantly overshot to the right on every motion. His
gait was not assessed on admission.
ADMISSION LABS AND STUDIES: White count 7.9, hematocrit
39.3, platelets 149. Sodium 135, potassium 3.5, BUN 10,
creatinine 0.8, glucose 204. His urine output was
unremarkable and he had a chest x-ray that showed no evidence
of any infiltrates or effusions. The patient had an MRI on
the night of admission which showed bilateral occipital
infarcts on FLAIR imaging. Diffusion weighted imaging was
unobtained due to problems with the scanner. Also, note was
made of a lesion in the right dome. His MRA was significant
for a hypoplastic left vertebral artery that possibly ended
in pica. His right vertebral artery was noted to be
significantly stenotic, although the basilar artery was
unremarkable.
The patient was admitted to the neurological service.
HISTORY OF HOSPITAL COURSE: The morning after admission, it
was decided to start him on a heparin drip due to the
stenosis in his right vertebral artery as well as the thought
that he may be continuing to throw emboli into his posterior
circulation. He had a angiogram on the [**8-7**] which
again was significant for right vertebral artery stenosis.
He remained stable over the weekend on heparin except for the
fact that he was unable to be propped up in bed at all
because his mental status significantly decreased any time
you sat him up. Due to the nature of his significant
inability to tolerate any position other than lying flat,
decision was made to try and place a stent in his right
vertebral artery.
On [**8-11**], he had a repeat angiogram in the interventional
radiology suite and two stents were placed in his right
vertebral artery. There were no complications of the
procedure and the patient did well.
The patient was briefly transferred out to the floor team on
[**2132-8-14**], but then was noted to have a fever to about 102?????? and
it was noted that in the area of his right wrist where he had
had his arterial line, he now had evidence of an infection
and right hand cellulitis. He had blood cultures, urine
cultures, a chest x-ray and an abdominal film done.
The chest x-ray and his abdominal film were both
unremarkable. His blood cultures ended up growing 4/4
bottles of coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria
which were sensitive to oxacillin. The patient was started
on oxacillin for this infection as well as for his
cellulitis. He was also found to have an enterococcal
urinary tract infection which was treated with levofloxacin.
Surgery was also consulted regarding his right wrist
infection, however they recommended antibiotics only with no
debridement. After several days, his fever cleared and his
mental status improved significantly.
Overall, throughout his hospital course, he has had minimal
improvement in his right upper extremity and left lower
extremity weakness with progressive increase in tone and
hyperreflexia throughout his hospital course. He did improve
significantly after his right vertebral stent in the sense
that he is now able to tolerate multiple postural positions
without any worsening of his mental status.
The patient had a swallowing study which he successfully
passed and he will be started on a pureed and honey thickened
diet and advanced if he tolerates it. He is going to
continue on oxacillin, as well as continue Diltiazem for his
blood pressure control.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 43313**] was admitted to the TSICU after her operation. She was
initially kept NPO and on IVFs. Her wound was closely monitored.
She did not complain of pain and felt better throughout the day.
She was given a regular diet. She was able to get out of bed to
chair. She was ready for transfer out of ICU on HD 1. However,
once on the floor, her cellulitis continued to spread. She was
taken to the OR urgently that night and had further debridement.
She was taken to the SICU after the OR, intubated and sedated.
Her cellulitis continued to spread and she was again taken to
the OR for further debridement and packed with saline gauze. On
HD 5, she was taken back to the OR. There appeared to be no
further evidence of infection and her fascia and soft tissues
appeared okay, a wound VAC x2 was placed over her abdomen &
perineal incisions. She was stable in the ICU. Her vent settings
were weaned until she was successfully extubated on [**2188-6-16**]. She
was intermittently agitated and haldol and ativan were given
prn. She went to the OR again on [**6-17**] for VAC change. She was
started on tylenol and dilaudid prn for pain control. Speech and
swallow evaluated her and she was given thin liquids, which she
tolerated. On [**6-18**] clindamycin was dc'd. Overnight, she had high
stool output, with diarrhea multiple times during the day, and
she was taken to the OR for VAC change. A rectal tube was placed
the next day and a cdiff sent, which was negative. Vancomycin
was also discontinued and a planned 3 week course of meropenem
was recommended by ID. She passed speech and swallow eval and
was continued on a regular diet, which she tolerated. She was
transferred to the floor on [**6-19**].
On the floor she remained alert and oriented. She continued on
meropenem. A PICC line was placed under fluoroscopy on [**6-23**]. Her
leukocytosis resolved and vac changes continued q3 days and as
needed in the operating room. Through each procedure, the
majority of her wounds have been surgically closed.
Her diarrhea slowed and her rectal tube was discontinued. Her
foley catheter was kept in place to avoid wound contamination.
She has been urinating without issue. She was encouraged to
mobilize out of bed as tolerated.
On the day of discharge, Mrs.[**Known lastname 112272**] right lateral (most
superior) wound was closed at the bedside. She is
hemodynamically stable and afebrile. She remains with a foley
catheter, which may be discontinued once assessed at the rehab
facility. She has been informed of her transfer to a
rehabilitation facility. I have also instructed her on the
importance of keeping her wounds (perineal, groin area) clean
and use of miconazole powder to prevent fungal infections.

Service: MEDICINE
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 75-year-old
woman with a past medical history notable for peptic ulcer
disease with a history of "bleeding ulcer," coronary artery
disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 and multiple sclerosis, who
presented to the [**Hospital1 69**]
emergency department early on the morning of admission
complaining of epigastric pain. The patient stated that,
approximately two weeks prior to presentation, she began
experiencing diarrhea alternating with constipation. Then,
approximately two days prior to admission, the patient began
having only constipation. When the patient did have bowel
movements, they were black and tarry. This was an
unprecedented occurrence for her. The patient denied having
any recent hematochezia, hemoptysis or hematemesis.
At approximately 2 AM on the morning of admission, the
patient was awakened by epigastric pain which was [**6-10**] in
severity and constant in duration. The patient could not
describe the quality of pain. She felt that it was well
localized to her epigastrium, although she admitted that she
also experienced interscapular pain with this episode of
epigastric pain. She was not surprised by this, as she
reported that she had interscapular pain "whenever I get
stomachaches--since I was a kid." The patient was brought by
EMS to the [**Hospital1 69**] emergency
department, where her pain abated completely shortly after
receiving Maalox at approximately 9:30 AM.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Of note, the patient admitted that for
approximately five years her stool had been of smaller
caliber. She denied any other change in her bowel or bladder
patterns. She specifically denied fevers, chills, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea or headache. She denied sore throat,
cough, recent change in weight and night sweats. In terms of
the patient's cardiovascular status, she specifically denied
having had any pain radiating to her left jaw (her anginal
equivalent) since her coronary artery bypass grafting in
[**2141**]. She denied chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations,
diaphoresis, lower extremity edema, paroxysmal nocturnal
dyspnea and orthopnea. (Although she used two pillows for
sleeping, she said that she did not become dyspneic without
them.) The patient denied any recent illnesses, including
changes in her multiple sclerosis. Similarly, she denied
recent changes in her appetite, diet and medication regimen.
Her fingerstick blood sugars had been consistently running
under 120.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease: The patient had no history of
known myocardial infarction. She did have angina (left jaw
pain), which led to cardiac catheterization, which
subsequently led to coronary artery bypass grafting in [**2151**].
The patient had not had any angina since her coronary artery
bypass grafting.
2. Congestive heart failure: The patient had an ejection
fraction of 20-25% by echocardiogram in [**2155-10-2**] with
left ventricular hypokinesis, moderate mitral regurgitation
and mild pulmonary hypertension.
3. Peptic ulcer disease: The patient had a history of a
"bleeding ulcer" in [**2146**] with hematochezia. Per the patient,
this was an upper gastrointestinal bleed. No intervention
was required at that time. No pertinent records were
currently available for this history of bleeding ulcer. The
patient was on ranitidine.
4. Diabetes mellitus type 2: This was diagnosed
approximately one year prior to admission, per the patient.
This was well controlled on Glyburide with fingersticks
consistently under 120.
5. Hypertension: Per the patient, her blood pressure
typically ran in the 120s-130s/80s.
6. Hypercholesterolemia.
7. Multiple sclerosis: This was diagnosed when the patient
was approximately 35 years old. Per the patient, this had
not affected her vision but rather her lower extremities and
balance, such that she had difficulty walking well.
8. Spinal stenosis.
9. Mild dementia.
10. Urinary incontinence, likely functional, as the patient
had trouble getting to the bathroom in time.
11. History of right shoulder pain, status post a fall.
12. Chronic lower back pain, which continued status post
laminectomy in [**2148**].
13. Status post appendectomy in [**2120**].
14. Status post surgery to correct trigeminal neuralgia in
[**2118**].

SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lived alone at home in
[**Location (un) **], [**State 350**]. She had two boarders who lived
upstairs in her home. She would like to move to an [**Hospital3 12272**] facility soon. The patient denied a tobacco history.
She admitted rare alcohol use, but not abuse. The patient
denied any other drug use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Vital signs revealed a
temperature of 97.2??????F, a heart rate of 86, a blood pressure
of 171/86 in the left arm and 181/80 in the right arm,
respirations of 14 per minute and an oxygen saturation of 97%
on room air. In general, the patient was a pleasant
75-year-old woman, awake and in bed, in no acute distress.
On head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination, the pupils
were equal, round and reactive to light and accommodation
bilaterally. The extraocular movements were intact
bilaterally. The nasal and oral mucosa were clear. The
mucous membranes were moist. The neck was supple without
thyromegaly, jugular venous distention, lymphadenopathy or
bruits.
The heart had a II/VI systolic ejection murmur heard
maximally at the apex with a sinus S1 and S2 and no rubs or
gallops. The chest had mildly decreased breath sounds with
occasional rhonchi at the bases bilaterally. Otherwise, the
chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally with a well
healed sternotomy scar.
The abdomen was soft, but mildly tender to palpation,
especially in the left lower quadrant. The abdomen was
nondistended with positive normal active bowel sounds. There
was a well healed midline scar, apparently due to exploratory
laparotomy, which eventually led to appendectomy. The
gastrointestinal evaluation revealed dark stool that was
guaiac positive. The patient was nasogastrically lavaged in
the emergency department with 250 cc of fluid, revealing no
blood and no bile.
In the extremities, the venous graft harvest site was well
healed at the right lower extremity with no clubbing,
cyanosis or edema. Pedal pulses were 2+ bilaterally. On
neurological examination, the patient was alert and oriented
times three. Speech was normal and appropriate. Cranial
nerves II through XII were intact bilaterally with the
possible exception of the tongue deviating slightly to the
right. Strength was [**4-5**] in the upper extremities and lower
extremities proximally and distally bilaterally. Sensation
was intact to light touch bilaterally at the distal lower and
upper extremities as well as the three divisions of cranial
nerve V. Rapid alternating movements were intact
bilaterally. Reflexes were 0 at the lower extremities
bilaterally and 2+ symmetrically at the upper extremities.
The right toe was downgoing and the left toe was equivocal.
LABORATORY DATA ON PRESENTATION: Note that the patient was
guaiac positive, but nasogastric lavage negative (as noted
above.) The CBC revealed a white blood cell count of 10,300,
hematocrit of 30.0 (which upon repeat was 31) and platelet
count of 289,000. Chem 7 revealed a sodium of 138, potassium
of 6.0 (which upon repeat was 4.0), chloride of 108,
bicarbonate of 19, BUN of 49, creatinine of 1.3 and glucose
of 121. Coagulation studies revealed a prothrombin time of
12.4, partial thromboplastin time of 25.6 and INR of 1.0.
Liver function tests and pancreatic function tests revealed
an ALT of 33, AST of 52, total bilirubin of 0.2, amylase of
41 and lipase of 21. Cardiac enzymes were cycled times
three: CK #1 was 287 with an MB of 6, CK #2 was 177 with an
MB of 4 and a troponin of less than 3 and CK #3 was likewise
negative.
RADIOLOGY DATA ON PRESENTATION: The chest x-ray showed
cardiomegaly with no increase in pulmonary vasculature and no
infiltrates or effusions. There was degenerative joint
disease of the spine. There was no air under the diaphragm.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: The electrocardiogram showed an old left
bundle branch block and sinus rhythm with no acute changes.
HOSPITAL COURSE: What follows is an outline of the [**Hospital 228**]
hospital course by problem list.
1. GASTROINTESTINAL BLEED: The patient was admitted
initially to the medicine service and the gastrointestinal
service was consulted. On [**2155-8-17**], the patient
underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which revealed grade
1 esophagitis at the gastroesophageal junction as well as a
large, cratered, 3 cm ulcer with adherent clot in the
proximal bulb of the duodenum. A visible vessel suggested
recent bleeding. BICAP electrocautery was applied
successfully for hemostasis. Otherwise, the
esophagogastroduodenoscopy was normal to the third part of
the duodenum.
The patient was continued on Protonix 40 mg p.o. b.i.d. Her
aspirin and Vioxx had been held since admission.
Helicobacter pylori was sent, which eventually came back as
positive. Late in the evening of [**2155-8-17**], the
patient began to experience hematemesis. Nasogastric lavage
could not successfully clear the patient and thus she was
transferred to the medical intensive care unit. The patient
was transfused two units of packed red blood cells and
subsequently underwent embolization by the interventional
radiology team. Following embolization, the patient
experienced a second mild hematocrit drop and was transfused
an additional two units. Thereafter, her hematocrit remained
stable.
In terms of the patient's Helicobacter pylori, she was
started on a Prevpac, which she is to continue for two weeks.
Following conclusion of the Prevpac, the patient should be
maintained on Protonix or some other gastrointestinal
prophylaxis and she should not be given non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin, as she has a risk of
re-bleeding.
Other gastrointestinal issues for the patient include the
fact that she has a history of decreased stool caliber for
approximately the past five years. Thus, she will need a
follow up colonoscopy as an outpatient to evaluate for
possible malignancy.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR:
a) In terms of the patient's coronary artery disease, she was
ruled out for myocardial infarction. Her aspirin was
discontinued upon admission because of the risk of
gastrointestinal bleed. She was continued on Lipitor,
Lopressor and a cardiac diet.
b) In terms of the patient's blood pressure, pump status and
history of congestive heart failure, she was continued on
Lopressor and Lasix.
3. DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2: The patient was maintained on
her outpatient regimen of Glyburide and maintained good
fingerstick blood sugars.
4. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: The patient was continued on her
amantadine without any exacerbations of her multiple
sclerosis.
5. FLUID, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Following
embolization, the patient's diet was advanced successfully
and she tolerated it without nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Her electrolytes remained stable.
6. PROPHYLAXIS: The patient was maintained for a time on
Protonix drip, followed thereafter by her Prevpac which,
after outpatient discharge, is to be followed by other
gastrointestinal prophylaxis per her primary care physician.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: The patient remained stable and
afebrile.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Upper gastrointestinal bleed: duodenal ulcer.
2. History of coronary artery disease.
3. Congestive heart failure.
4. Diabetes mellitus type 2.
5. Hypertension.
6. Multiple sclerosis.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: The patient was discharged on her
above noted outpatient medication regimen with the notable
exceptions of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs, which were discontinued due to the risk of re-bleed.
Furthermore, the patient was discharged on Prevpac q.d., of
which she is to finish a two week course. Following
conclusion of her Prevpac, the patient should be placed on
gastrointestinal prophylaxis such as Protonix or an H2
blocker.
FOLLOW UP: The patient should follow up with her primary
care physician within the following week.

No acute intracranial hemorrhage.
2. CT perfusion study suggests acute infarctions in the
superior right middle
cerebral artery territory and in the right posterior cerebral
artery
territory. These are not yet detectible on the conventional CT
images, with
only a small focus of mild cytotoxic edema noted in the right
anterior insula.
3. Large thrombus extending from the distal right common
carotid artery into
the proximal right internal carotid artery with 99% stenosis.
This thrombus
also extends into and completely occludes the proximal right
external carotid
artery, which demonstrates distal reconstitution, most likely
via retrograde
filling through its branches.
4. Occlusion of the superior division of the right middle
cerebral artery.
5. Bilateral fetal configuration of posterior cerebral
arteries. The
posterior communicating arteries appear patent bilaterally.
6. Enlarged and multinodular thyroid. This may be further
evaluated by
[**Name (NI) 13416**], if not previously performed elsewhere.
MRI/MRA head and NEck
1. Large acute infarctions involving the right frontal lobe,
insula, and
temporal lobe in the middle cerebral artery territory and the
right occipital lobe in the posterior cerebral artery territory.
2. Focal hemorrhagic transformation in the posterior right
temporal lobe.
3. Motion-limited MRAs of the head and neck demonstrate no
appreciable change
from the preceding CTAs of the head and neck. There is a large
thrombus
extending from the distal right common carotid into the proximal
right
internal carotid and external carotid arteries, with 99%
stenosis of the right
internal carotid artery, better demonstrated on the CTA, and
complete
occlusion of the proximal external carotid artery (with
reconstitution via
retrograde filling). Persistent occlusion of the superior
division of the
right middle cerebral artery. Bilateral fetal posterior
cerebral arteries
with bilateral patent posterior communicating arteries.
Echocardiogram:
Patent ductus arteriosus. Mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with preserved global and regional biventricular
systolic function. Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Pulmonary artery hypertension. Mild aortic valve stenosis. Mild
aortic regurgitation. Dilated ascending aorta.
CTA neck [**6-18**]:Interval decrease in size of the thrombus in the
right common carotid artery extending into both the internal and
external branches. A small amount of thrombus is still present.
2. The previously seen occlusion of the superior division of the
right MCA is not completely included in the field of view of
today's study given that the study is a neck CTA. If there is
any clinical concern for continued occlusion, recommend a
dedicated CTA of the head for further evaluation. 3. Worsening
pulmonary edema with bilateral pleural effusions.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is an 87 y/o with past medical history of
AFib off coumadin for pastweek for colonoscopy, HTN,HL,AR, CHF
p/w acute onset left sided weakness and found to have
left hempiplegia and profound neglect consistent with R MCA
syndrome.
Neuro: At [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] a dense MCA sign was seen on imaging, and
the pt received
IV TPA at 90 min after onset of symptoms. NIHSS was slightly
improved here to 14 from 17 at [**Location (un) 620**]. The patient had a CTA
head and neck here which revealed recanalization of the R MCA
with cutoff seen at R M2 superior division and evidence of
thrombus at the R CCA occluding 99%, extending to R ECA and R
ICA with recanalization distally. Endovascular intervention was
discussed with the
neurointerventional attending as well as stroke attending, Dr.
[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 2530**] [**Name (STitle) **] and the decision was made that the risk of
attempting recanalization of the R CCA thrombus could
potentially outweigh the benefit given the risk of distal
embolization with manipulation, and relatively intact blood
supply currently to circle of [**Location (un) 431**]. The patient had a MRI head
which showed large acute infarctions involving the right frontal
lobe, insula, and temporal lobe in the middle cerebral artery
territory and the right occipital lobe in the posterior cerebral
artery territory as well asa focal hemorrhagic conversion. The
patient was briefly placed on a heparin drip despite this due to
concern for the right carotid occlusion. This was later
discontinued when the patient had a headache due to concern for
bleed. CT head was obtained 24hours after tPA and showed no
progression of hemorrhagic conversion noted on MRI the previous
day. The patient remained in the ICU overnight and then was
transferred to the floor the following day. She was started on
aspirin and then restarted on Coumadin. The patient regained
some left sided strength and her left sided neglect improved
slightly. While on the floor she began to open her eyes
spontaneously and answered questions appropriately. A repeat CTA
of the neck showed decreased thrombus of the right common
carotid.
Cardiac: The patient was monitored on telemetry and remained in
atrial fibrillation. Her cardiac enzymes were negative. She was
continued on metoprolol at lower doses initially and home
antihypertensives were held to allow for autoregulation. Her
heart rate trended up and her metoprolol was increased to her
home dose. As above, she was started on aspirin bridge to
coumadin. Echocardiogram revealed a PFO.
Endocrine: Her fingersticks were checked and she was placed on
sliding scale insulin. Glycohemoglobin was normal and LDL
cholesterol was <100.
FEN: The patient was not able to swallow safely so a NG tube was
placed and tube feeds begun on [**6-13**]. On [**6-17**] the patient was
cleared to start ground solids and nectar thickened liquids. Her
tube feeds were held during the day and the plan is to continue
nightly tube feed until she is able to take in an adequate
number of calories.
Infection: The patient was noted to be delerious on [**6-15**] and UA
came back positive. She was started on Ceftriaxone for UTI,
urine culture pending at this time. Once antibiotics were
started her delerium cleared.

There is no hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of normally midline
structures or hydrocephalus. Tiny hypodensity is seen in the
right centrum semiovale, unchanged from the prior study,
consistent with microangiopathic change. No air- fluid levels
are seen in the paranasal sinuses. The mastoid air cells are
clear. The soft tissues appear unremarkable.
.
EKG: Baseline artifact. Regular supraventricular rhythm. There
is a late
transition which is probably normal. Compared to the prior
tracing regular
supraventricular tachycardia is now present.
.
MRI/A Brain: Multiple T2 and FLAIR hyperintense signals seen in
the periventricular and subcortical white matter, consistent
with chronic
microangiopathic changes. No evidence of acute hemorrhage or
stroke.

A/P: 62 y.o. female with PMHx of A fib, s/p cardioversion, HTN,
CHF who presents with complaints of N/V and dizziness in the
setting of a. fib with RVR and hypertensive urgency.
.
# Nausea/Dizziness: Initial differential included vertigo, acute
MI, posterior CVA, labrynthitis with recent URI. ACS ruled out
by CEs x 2, 12 hours apart and has no ischemic changes on EKG,
making MI less likely. Posterior CVA assessed by MRI/MRA without
evidence of thrombosis or new CVA. Patient was followed by
neurology during stay and gave input concerning symptom
management. On the third day of admission, symptoms had
completely resolved, which is consistent with vertigo associated
with labrynthitis following her recent URI. Upon discharge
denies any further symptoms of nausea, vomiting or vertigo.
.
# HTN: Poorly controlled upon arrival to the ED at 236/106. OMR
notes demonstrate BP range of 120s-150s, though given 3
antihypertensive agents, suspected that patient likely has
chronically elevated blood pressure. Cause of acute elevation
was unclear, but likely related to poorly tolerating po
medications. Patient does report compliance with her medications
prior to hospitalization. Acute cardiac event was ruled out as
detailed above. Initially on ICU admit BP was being controlled
on Labetalol gtt. She denied HA and UA shows no evidence of
end-organ damage. Labetalol gtt was discontinued and she was
briefly hypotensive to low 100s. She continued to have labile
BP, with averages to 170s but had much improvement with addition
of home lasix dosing. Electrophysiology was consulted
concerning her afib despite prior cardioconversion and suggested
adding verapamil 80mg [**Hospital1 **]. This medication was only given once
while inpatient as she persistently had heart rates in the
mid-60s. She was not discharged on this medication, but sent
home on her prior antihypertensive medications with a VNA to
visit and perform BP checks.
.
# Atrial Fibrillation: S/P cardioversion in [**Month (only) 205**] on admit found
to be in atrial fibrillation again. Patient denied chest pain or
palpitations on presentation which might suggest asymptomatic a.
fib, thus making it difficult to tell if she has been in sinus
since her conversion. Underlying etiologies include
hyperthyroidism or infection. TSH suppressed, not hyperthyroid
on labs. Patient is afebrile now with no signs of infection, but
had a recent URI. Again, MI has been ruled out as above. HR
labile the evening of admit with swings from HR 120s to 65s
indicative of possible Afib vs autonomic dysfuntion. EP
consulted and thought she likely had atrial tachycardia and
recommended verapamil, maximum dosing of carvediol/lisinopril
and lasix. Verapamil held as above. Discharged with
instruction to decrease [**Month (only) 197**] dosing for next three days,
given elevated INR of 3.6. Should follow-up with [**Hospital 197**]
Clinic next week for INR check and dose adjustment.
.
# CAD: History of two vessel CAD with no intervention. Admitted
on ASA, BB and statin at outpatient dosing. No evidence of MI on
admit. Continue all outpatient meds.
.
# CHF: Preserved EF with LVH and elevated left-sided filling
pressures on echo in [**2173**] with overall greater evidence of
diastolic dysfunction, compared to previous echo in [**2169**].
Patient is followed by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 437**] as an outpatient and took Lasix
PRN. On admit was hypovolemic given recent nausea and vomiting.
Given IVF and tolerated po on discharge, sent home on outpatient
medications.
.
# S/P Thyroidectomy: On suppressive therapy with Synthroid,
recently decreased. TSH is very suppresed at 0.053 despite
recent decrease in Synthroid from 225 mcg to 200 mcg. Patient is
followed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in endocrine and per a conversation with
her yesterday, patient could benefit from decrease in Synthroid
to 175 mcg. On discharge was instructed to continue Synthroid
at 175 mcg and follow-up with her endocrinologist as outpatient.
.
# DM: Patient has a history of DM2, reportedly controlled with
diet and improved since gastric bypass. Most recent HbA1C is 6.5
in 4/[**2174**]. Patient is not on standing diabetic medications as an
outpatient. Was monitored with QID fingersticks and did
require a low dose ISS while inpatient. Instructed to follow-up
with PCP on this issue and continue to monitor her fingersticks
as an outpatient.
.
# TTP: Stable. Platelets are normal though slightly lower than
baseline approximately one year ago. Currently no signs of
bleeding. Patient also has no fever and hematocrit and
creatinine are normal. No active issues during hospital stay.
Medications on Admission:
Aspirin 81mg PO QD

Chief Complaint:
s/p septal ablation
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
ETOH septal ablation
Cardiac cath
History of Present Illness:
69 yo lady with h/o CAD (one vessel dz), diastolic CHF,
longstanding HTN, obesity, PBC, DJD admitted s/p etoh septal
ablation of LVOT obstruction. Patient was first diagnosed with
LVOT obstruction in [**2-25**] when she was admitted for chest
pressure and shortness of breath. Patient notes longstanding
chest pressure symptoms that have been present for more than 10
years. She says that she has diffuse chest pressure over her mid
sternum, poorly localized, not associated with any other
symptoms such as sob, diaphoresis, radiation. Her first cardiac
cath in [**2156**] revealed clean coronaries. In terms of her sob, she
reports symptoms starting in [**2-25**] where she could only walk 20
yards before having to stop to cath her breath. Also sob with
walking [**12-25**] stairs. She reports sleeping in a recliner with her
feet elevated, "can't breath" if lying flat. She states that she
was diagnosed with HTN at 15 and has been "well controlled"
however does not check her BP at home. She was admitted [**2090-3-17**]
with chest pressure, sob, LE edema. It was felt that her SOB was
likely due to diastolic dysfuntion with CHF exacerbation due to
Prednisone, dietary indescretion, and poorly controlled HTN. She
was diuresed with Lasix and sent home with outpatient follow up
of her LVOT obstruction.
Most recently, she was referred for a diagnostic catheterization
at [**Hospital6 **] on [**2168-5-30**]. During the
procedure it was noted that her LAD had a 50% lesion and
confirmed the left ventricular outflow obstruction (50mmHg). She
is now admitted for elective septal ablation and LAD stenting.
.
Upon arrival to the floor, patient talkative and feeling well,
no sob or chest pain. Lying flat, having some back pain, groin
site minimally painful. ROS negative for F/C/S, no N/V/D, no
other recent illnesses.

.
ECHO ([**2168-6-16**])Pre-Ablation:There is symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is unusually small.
There is a severe resting left ventricular outflow
tract/midcavity obstruction (125 mmHg). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There is no
pericardial effusion.
.
ECHO ([**2168-6-16**])Post-Ablation:Post ethanol injection into the
third septal perforator (2 injections) and the second septal
perforator (1 injection), the resting intracavity pressure
gradient is 24 mmHg. Compared to the previous study prior to
ethanol injection, the intracavbity gradient is greatly reduced.
.
Cardiac Cath ([**2168-6-16**]):One vessel coronary artery disease.
Elevated left-sided filling pressures at rest. Dynamic left
ventricular outflow tract gradient of 20-30 mmHg at rest and >
90 mmHg with valsalva manuever, post-PVC, and dobutamine
infusion. Successful alcohol septal ablation with decrease in
the left ventricular outflow gradient to < 25mmHg with
dobutamine infusion.
.
Cardiac Cath [**2168-6-20**]: 1. One vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Mildly elevated left and right sided filling pressures.
3. Resting LVOT gradient present on day#4 post alcohol septal
ablation.
4. Successful stenting of the mid LAD.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 69yo F with CAD (70% mid LAD), HTN, CHF, MMP
underwent cardiac catheterization on [**6-16**] for septal ablation to
relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The LVOT
gradient was 80-90 mmHg on dobutamine infusion prior to ablation
and 25 mmHg post ablation, both measured during the procedure
(see results section). A 70% concentric hazy lesion of the LAD
was also noted during this procedure (and was known prior to
admission). On [**6-20**] she underwent a second cardiac
catheterization for elective stenting of the LAD lesion with a
drug eluting Cypher stent. Her creatinine was slightly above
baseline on admission and she received renal protection prior
catheterization with mucomyst and iv fluids with bicarb.
During her hospitalization, she had native sinus bradycardia and
was discharged on half her previous dose of her outpatient
atenolol. Her verapamil was discontinued because of it's nodal
blocking properties, and for blood pressure control, she was
switched to amlodipine 10 mg daily.

[**11-16**]: RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT ULTRASOUND: Exam is somewhat limited
due to patient body habitus. The liver is unremarkable with no
focal lesions. The gallbladder has multiple gallstones, with a
large gallstone measuring up to 1.4 cm. There is no wall
thickening or pericholecystic fluid to suggest cholecystitis. No
son[**Name (NI) 493**] [**Name (NI) **] sign was present. The common bile duct is
markedly dilated measuring 1.5 cm, and there is central
intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, raising the possibility
of a distal CBD obstruction. The distal CBD and pancreas are not
able to be visualized due to overlying bowel gas. The portal
vein is patent with anterograde flow. There is no ascites
[**11-17**]: ERCP: Ten fluoroscopic spot images obtained during ERCP
procedure without radiologist present. Cholangiogram
demonstrates dilated intra- and extra- hepatic bile ducts. There
is suggestion of irregularity of the intrahepatic ducts which
may be projectional. No filling defect is identified within the
opacified biliary tree. The cystic duct is normally opacified.
IMPRESSION: Intra- and extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. No
filling defect is identified within the biliary tree.
[**11-18**]: Ampullary mucosal biopsy:
Ampullary mucosa with focal acute inflammation and
fibrinopurulent exudates consistent with ulceration.
[**11-26**]: U/S FINDINGS: The study is limited due to patient's body
habitus. The liver texture is within normal limits allowing for
technique. The gallbladder demonstrates multiple gallstones.
There is no gallbladder wall edema or pericholecystic fluid.
There is no intra- or extra- hepatic biliary ductal dilatation,
and the common duct measures 7 mm. Main portal vein is patent
with antegrade flow.
[**12-2**]:CT- 1. Extensive severe pancreatitis with diffuse
enlargement of the pancreas and fat stranding and ongoing
formation of peripancreatic fluid collection/pseudocyst with
attenuated SMV. Diffuse peritoneal fat stranding suggestive of
panperitonitis with bowel dilatation.
2. Cholelithiasis.
3. Small ascites, slightly decreased in the lower pelvis.
4. Diffuse anasarca.
5. Diverticulosis.
6. Post G-tube placement.
7. New pneumomediastinum within the pericardial fat along the
pericardium, of unknown etiology. Clinical correlation with
recent procedure and interventions is recommended.
Brief Hospital Course:
On transfer to [**Hospital1 18**], Ms. [**Known lastname 75891**] was admitted to the trauma
service and transferred to the SICU for further evaluation. She
was made NPO, with IVF and a FOley was placed; the patient
refused an NGT at the time. The patient's pain was to be
controlled, and the patient was consented for an ERCP. THe
patient received subcutaneous heparin for DVT prophylaxis, her
hematocrit was watched on a dialy basis, ad the patient was put
on an insulin sliding scale. The patient was [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] 3 at
admission. A RUQ ultrasound was performed revealing
cholelithiasis without cholecystitis, and CBD dilation as well.
On [**11-17**], the patient underwent an ERCP with sphincterotomy; the
report read "Intra- and extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. No
filling defect is identified within the biliary."
Her post procedure course was complicated by increased
secretions, and hypoxia to 78%; the patient was made aware of
the risk of aspiration pneumonia and respiratory distress, but
she refused both an NGT and intubation at the time. The patient
was made comfortable with anti-anxiety and pain medications, and
her vital signs were closely monitored. The patient required
fluid bolusing for volume depletion.
A geriatric consult was called for further treatment and
evaluation while the patient was in the ICU as the patient
became delirious and had been quite agitated despite lorazepam
and Haldol. Geriatrics recommended low dose dilaudid for pain
control PRN, altering the dose of Haldol, removing all
unneccessary tubes, lines and drains, and getting the patinet on
a better sleep cycle. On [**11-18**], the patient became tachypneic
to a respiratory rate in the 30s, oxygen saturation of 82% on
RA, and was put on a face tent as she was not tolerating other
oxygen supplementation. The patient's vital signs were
unstable, and the patient was combative and aggressive. Her
mental status began deteriorating, and the patient required
intubation for airway protection, and adequate sedation for
safety during hospital treatment. The patient was started on
Unasyn for pneumonia (aspiration). On [**11-19**], the patient was
intermittently tachycardic with decreased urine output; she was
bolused for presumed volume depletion; her urine output improved
and her renal function remained within normal limits. The
patient also had an OGT and subsequently a DObhoff tube placed
for tube feeds. The patient's respiratory status was frequently
monitored and changed according to evaluations. Her sedation
and ventilation were attempted to be weaned. Her hospital
course was complicated by post-procedure fevers; blood cultures
were sent when the patient spiked, and chest x-rays, urine
analysis/cultures were also taken. The patiemt was noted to
have a R base consolidation, and went for bronchoalveolar lavage
on [**11-23**]. The patient was put on vancomycin and later levo as
well as zosyn for empiric VAP treatment; these antibiotics were
stopped when appropriate, i.e, when cultures returned with
sensitivities, and/or fevers and leukocytosis decreased.
The patient was diuresed when appropriate as she was fluid
overloaded with pleural effusions during her hospital stay. A
right sided pleural effusion was worsening, and the patient
underwent a pleural tap and pigtail placement to expand the
lung and rule out empyema as the patient continued to be febrile
with some vital sign lability.
The patient had stable post procedure anemia until [**11-26**], at
which time, the patient had to be transfused 2units of prbcs.
As the pt continued to be vent dependednt, the patient underwent
a trach, IVC filter, and PEG on [**11-27**]; for details please see
operative note. Om [**11-30**], the patient's trach was inadvertently
dislodged, and an emergent trach had to be placed; placement was
confirmed by bronch.
The patient was discharged to rehab on [**12-4**] in stable
condition; she was hemodynmically stable, afebrile, tolerating
tube feeds, off antibiotics, with normalizing wbc and LFTs.

CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT Study Date of [**2199-10-23**]
Preliminary Report !! PFI !!
Tip of PICC catheter 8 cm from SVC will need to be withdrawn.
Brief Hospital Course:
64 year-old man with cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery
disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure with EF 40%, and
seizure disorder presenting with cough, fevers, and
consolidations on chest x-ray consistent with pneumonia.
.
1. Pneumonia: Chest x-ray from admission showed right middle
and lower lobe consolidations. His oxygen saturations remained
above 92% on room air. He was monitored in the intensive care
unit overnight and transferred to a general medical floor the
morning after admission. He was started on vancomycin and
ampicillin-sulbactam to complete a two-week course for
hospital-acquired versus aspiration pneumonia. A PICC line was
placed [**2199-10-23**] for intravenous access to complete the course of
antibiotics, ending [**2199-11-4**].
.
2. Hypernatremia: Asymptomatic and due to free water depletion.
His free water flushes were increased to 400 cc q4h with
improvement in sodium. His sodium should be monitored
intermittently and his free water flushes should be adjusted
accordingly for hypernatremia.
.
3. Question urinary tract infection from nursing home: The
patient was on nitrofurantoin on admission, and it is unclear
whether this was for treatment or prophylaxis of urinary tract
infection. This was discontinued when the above antibiotics
were started for pneumonia. He can restart nitrofurantoin if
this was being given for prophylaxis when the course of
vancomycin and unasyn is complete.
.
4. Mental status: It was believed that the patient was delirious
on admission, however, after discussion with the patient's wife
and the nursing home his mental status was thought to be at
baseline. He was treated for pneumonia as above. He was
frequently redirected.
.
5. History of nonacloholic steatohepatitis/cirrhosis: The
patient is status post TIPS. He is not [**Month/Day/Year **] candidate
currently due to his multiple comorbiditis. His MELD score was 5
on admission. He was continued on rifamixin and lactulose.
.
6. Chronic systolic congestive heart failure: EF is 40%. His
metoprolol was continued during admission. The patient was
hypovolemic on admission and lasix was held. Lasix was
restarted prior to discharge.
.
7. Seizure disorder: No active issues. The patient was
continued on keppra, topomax and zonisamide. There was initial
confusion regarding his dose of keppra, and the patient was
initially given 2250 mg on admission, however, this was
subsequently changed to his home dose of 500 mg twice daily.
.
8. Type 2 diabetes: No active issues. The patient was continued
on glargine 100 units twice daily as per his outpatient regimen.
He received humalog sliding scale insulin as needed.
.
9. Coronary artery disease: No active issues. The patient was
continued on metoprolol. He is not on aspirin or statin at
baseline, likely due to his liver disease, and this can be
readdressed as an outpatient.
10. Hypothyroidism: The patient was continued on his outpatietn
dose of levothyroxine 400 mcg daily. During admission, his T4
was elevated to 1.9 with normal TSH. His laboratories should be
checked after resolution of this acute illness and his dose of
levothyroxine adjusted accordingly.
.
11. Sacral decubitus ulcer: The patient was followed by the
[**Month/Day/Year **] care nurse.
.
12. Pancytopenia: His blood counts were at baseline during
admission. His pancytopenia is believed secondary to liver
disease. This should be monitored intermittently.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname **],
You were transferred to the hospital with fevers and a cough.
You were found to have a pneumonia and PICC line was placed in
your arm so that you can complete a two week course of
antibiotics (12 more days).
You were also noted to have high levels of sodium in your blood,
and this is probably because you were not getting enough water
in your diet. You are being given more water with your tube
feeds.
We did not change any of your medications (except adding those
two antibiotics for two weeks). Your thyroid levels were high,
and they should be re-checked and the dose of your thyroid
medicine may need to be adjusted.
If you develop increased difficulty breathing or any other
symptoms which seriously concerns you, please return to the
hospital.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 78755**] is a 42yoM with a history of diabetes mellitus and
longstanding alcoholism s/p numerous hospitalizations for
detoxification who was brought to the emergency room after being
found running through the streets naked and trying to choke
himself. He was barking like a dog during his ambulance ride,
and continued to seemingly respond to internal stimuli
thereafter.
.
On arrival to the ED, his initial vital signs were T100 P120
BP160/112 RR18 99% ra. Collateral information was gathered by
the psychiatry team, who evaluated him for a possible primary
psychiatric disorder, and spoke at length to both the patient
and the patient's mother. [**Name (NI) **] apparently drank "a lot of vodka
and windex" yesterday morning and subsequently blacked out. He
has detoxed many times and was prescrived antabuse, which he has
not recently taken. He endorses actively experiencing visual and
auditory hallucinations, including "voices" and "shadows" but is
again not able to elaborate with further details about these
symptoms. He has experienced both alcoholic hallucinosis and
delirium tremens, however fails to specify when those symptoms
occurred.
.
His mother, with whom he lives, notes a 20 year alcohol
dependence and despite many detoxification hospitalizations,
found a half-gallon of vodka in is closet recently. He had been
sober for 6 months and had been acting normally through
yesterday, but made paranoid statements about his neighbors this
morning.
.
Per the psychiatrist note, a psych review of systems, he denies
symptoms consistent with depression including anhedonia,
hopelessness, guilt, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, changes
in appetite, and sleep disturbances. He denies symptoms
consistent with anxiety including panic attacks or agoraphobia.
He denies symptoms consistent with mania including elevated
mood, racing thoughts,
decreased need for sleep, or thoughtlessness.
.
His ED management involved a liter of NS with IV thiamine. A
head CT did not reveal any structural disease and a chest XR did
not show any acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. He received an
2mg IM lorazepam dose and 10mg IV diazepam. Serum tox was
negative but Cr elevated to 1.8 from unknown baseline.
Toxicology consulted re: windex ingestion and was told it is
relatively benign and that fluids would help.
.
On arrival to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], his VS were: T98.7 HR80 BP128/78 RR19
Sat 98RA. He is fully AAOx3. He had been sober for six months
but started drinking again when the Bruins won the championship,
at which point he has been drinking [**3-13**] pints of vodka daily
with about 6 beers daily for chasing. He drank an unknown
amount of windex two days ago, which also was around the same
time of his last alcoholic drink. He drank the windex to
experiment with harming himself but denies frank SI. With
regard to the events leading up to his hospitalization, he ran
naked down the street on a dare. He does not recall having been
brought in by ambulance or barking like a dog. He does not
recall audio/visual hallucinations. He hopes to get sober again
but cannot elaborate a specific plan. He does confirm that he
had a bad alcohol withdrawal about 5 months ago complicated by
hallucinations, though no DTs.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 78755**] is a 42yoM with alcohol dependence presenting with
hallucinations and agitation. The patient presented with
bizarre behavior as per HPI and was noted to have elevated
creatinine to 1.8, transaminitis, and anion gap acidosis; he was
felt to be at high risk for withdrawal and was therefore
admitted to the ICU for close monitoring. During his brief
hospitalization, he remained alert and oriented and did not
exhibit evidence of alcohol withdrawal; labs trended toward
normal.
# HALLUCINATIONS, AGITATION: The patient provides a variable
drinking history over the past few days though a relapse appears
likely given his mother's finding of vodka in his closet, and
his history of multiple withdrawal syndromes. While he did show
autonomic hyperactivity, agitation, and hallucinosis, his
current generally preserved orientation is inconsistent with
delirium tremens, as is the brief time course since his last
drink (<48hr). That he improved so quickly with a very small
benzo load is highly unusual for withdrawal. He was monitored
on a CIWA scale though did not receive any further
benzodiazepine after arrival to the ICU. He also received folate
and thiamine given his history of alcoholism. He was seen by the
psychiatry service who recommended dual-diagnosis inpatient
treatment. He was also seen by social work. During the day, he
was oriented x 3 and did not exhibit evidence of withdrawal. He
did not offer direct answers in response to questions about the
events leading up to this admission (would not state exactly
what substances he used or describe why he was behaving so
oddly). He did state that the Windex ingestion was in part in
response to a desire to harm himself. He reports that he has had
visual hallucinations for some time, and has been disturbed by
these though he knows that they are not real. His overall
presentation raises concern for a possible primary psychiatric
diagnosis. PCP and ketamine levels were sent as these substances
could produce a similar picture, though he denied use of either
substance. These labs were pending at the time of [**Known lastname **].
# AMMONIA INGESTION: He ingested an unknown amount of ammonia.
Household cleaners typically do not have the concentration to
cause severe alkali burns. He has the typical sore throat and
irritation caused by such ingestions, and his elevated amylase
may be reflecting some of this inflammation. He received a dose
of PPI while inpatient. The hospital toxicologist was consulted
and recommended supportive care and IV fluids.
# ELEVATED CREATININE: Cr up to 1.8 from unclear baseline. His
relatively low BUN may reflect poor nutritional status at
baseline, but may also indicate chronic renal disease. His
creatinine improved to 1.3 following IVF. He should have repeat
electrolytes checked on follow up with PCP.
# ANION GAP METABOLIC ACIDOSIS: On arrival, the patient had an
anion gap of 20. His lactate was normal at the time that it was
checked several hours after arrival. His blood alcohol was
negative and there was no evidence of DKA, uremia, salicylates.
Anion gap closed with repeat electrolytes.
# ELEVATED TRANSAMINASES: This may be secondary to chronic
alcoholism though he does not display the characteristic AST:ALT
ratio of 2:1. His actual ingestion history is unclear as above,
and it is possible that he used substances which he does not
report that may have caused this finding. His LFTs trended down
on repeat labs in the AM though had not yet fully normalized at
the time of [**Known lastname **] (ALT 73, AST 61).
# POSSIBLE OSA: Patient was noted to snore loudly with periods
of apnea. He may benefit from sleep study as an outpatient.

Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are
normal (LVEF 70%). The right ventricular free wall thickness is
normal. The right ventricular cavity is dilated with depressed
free wall contractility. A bioprosthetic mitral valve prosthesis
is present. The mitral prosthesis appears well seated, with
normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. A
bioprosthetic tricuspid valve is present. The tricuspid
prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet motion and
transvalvular gradients. There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed)
of [**2133-8-3**], the mitral and tricuspid valves have been
replaced. The right ventricle is somewhat hypocontractile.
Brief Hospital Course:
Admitted [**2134-1-31**] for bridge from coumadin with heparin drip.
Completed preoperative workup and [**2134-2-1**] was brought to the
operating room and underwent mitral valve and tricuspid valve
replacements, see operative report for further details. She
was transferred to the intensive care unit for postoperative
management. In the first few hours she had significant
ventricular ectopy that was treated with amiodarone boluses and
drip with improvement however underlying rhythm was complete
heart block and continued to be paced with epicardial wires.
She remained intubated overnight for hemodynamics and was
extubated the morning of postoperative day one. She was started
on lasix for diuresis due to pulmonary edema and continued
amiodarone. Electrophysiology was consulted for rhythm
management and she was placed on lidocaine drip with improvement
but continued runs on ventricular tachycardia that worsened with
activity. Pain medications were adjusted, she was weaned off
lidocaine and started on betablockers for rhythm management.
She continues with ventricular ectopy but no ventricular
tachycardia. She was restarted on coumadin for history of
pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation. She was continued
to be diuresed for pulmonary edema, however was noted to have
hyponatremia with sodium to 122 with no clear cause that was
treated with hypertonic saline and saline tabs and sodium
improved however pulmonary edema worsened. Her oxygen
requirements increased and she continued to require aggressive
diuresis and non invasive ventilation for few days. She
continued to improve and respiratory status improved. She was
transferred to the floor for the remainder of her care.
Physical therapy worked with her on strength and mobility. She
continues on intravenous lasix for diuresis via PICC line that
she is being discharged to rehab with, and plan for PICC removal
when no longer requires IV lasix. She was discharged to acute
rehab on post operative day 15 to [**Hospital3 **] in [**Hospital1 **] new
[**Location (un) **].

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2195**]
Chief Complaint:
Abdominal pain, hyperglycemia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 9625**] is a 26F with a history of type I diabetes
complicated by chronic gastroparesis and prior DKA (last episode
[**5-/2169**]) who presents with a ~4 day history of uncontrolled
sugars, abdominal pain, and malaise. She states that her
symptoms began on Thursday, when she noticed that her
fingerstick values were getting very high. Since that time, she
reports that her lowest FS were in the 300s, and many were > 400
(in the early part of the month, she estimates that average
readings were in the 160s). She takes 36 units Lantus QHS and
[**10-26**] untis of Novolog per day with her sliding scale. States
that she has been compliant with fingersticks and insulin
administration. Took 16 units of insulin (Novolog) prior to
coming to ED at 11:00 AM today.
.
She has chronic gastroparesis and is never fully pain-free, but
notes that her abdominal pain is worse than baseline and
different from her standard pain. She feels bloated. This pain
does not feel like her prior episodes of kidney stones. In the
ED, she reported vomiting 5-10 times daily, but on the floor
reports that N/V have not been severe and that she feels that
she has been keeping down fluids adequately. She has poor
appetite and did not eat solid food today but was able to keep
down food yesterday. However, she has had "no energy" and was in
bed most of the day yesterday, which she states is very unusual
for her. Denies diarrhea but does suffer from chronic problems
with constipation. She does report that she has had on-and-off
chills and drenching nightsweats two of the last four nights to
the point that her boyfriend has had to wake her because the
sheets were wet. She does not own a thermometer so did not take
her temperature. She has not had SOB or URI symptoms, and though
she does report some dysuria she states that this is usual for
her and unchanged from her baseline. She reports several prior
UTI which have caused "kidney infections" and states that she
has been hospitalized for treatment multiple times. She does not
currently have flank pain but does report that she had some mild
right flank pain on Saturday. Also reports feeling "out of it"
like she's drunk, though has not had any alcohol.
.
In the ED, initial vs were: T 98.1, HR 102, BP 125/82, RR 16, O2
sat 100%. Patient was given IV cipro x 400 mg for possible UTI,
at least one liter IVF, started on an insulin gtt, dilaudid 1 mg
IV, and IV Zofran.
.
On the floor, she reports abdominal pain is [**8-16**] severity. Also
states that she is hungry and would like to eat, feels that she
could tolerate food at this time.
.
Review of sytems:
(+) Per HPI. Also reports recent episode of leg swelling in feet
and ankles one week ago, now largely resolved.
(-) Denies headache, sinus tenderness, rhinorrhea or congestion.
Denied cough, shortness of breath. Denied chest pain or
tightness, palpitations. No recent change in bowel or bladder
habits. Denied arthralgias or myalgias.
Past Medical History:
- Type I diabetes complicated by gastroparesis and prior DKA,
diagnosed age 2
- GERD

Microbiology:
[**2169-6-26**]
- URINE CULTURE: E. coli sensitive to Cipro
Brief Hospital Course:
26 F with type I diabetes presenting with anion gap acidosis and
+ ketones in urine.
# DKA. Patient's 2nd DKA in 1 month. Last HgbA1C 8.4. Trigger
thought likely to be her underlying UTI given her symptoms, +
UA, and + UCx growing E. coli. Prior notes also suggested
possible problem with compliance with her insulin and her uncle
has raised concern that she may on occasion have intentionally
elevated her blood glucose in order to be treated in the
hospital with narcotic pain medication. Per her last D/C
summary, she was scheduled to see a new PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] missed the
appointment and has yet to reschedule. Patient was transitioned
to D5 and subcutaneous glargine soon after arriving the ICU.
Her BS improved significantly with taking in po. Her anion gap
closed. [**Last Name (un) **] followed her throughout her hospitalization, and
she was discharged on an adjusted sliding scale and Lantus 23u
in the evening.
# ABDOMINAL PAIN: Initially thought to have rebound tenderness
and RLQ pain, concerning for appendicitis and other
intra-abdominal pathology (no ovarian cyst, but has prominent
right ovary). Her presentation is nearly identical to that at
her prior admission in [**Month (only) 116**], at which time she underwent CT
abdomen/pelvis which was unrevealing. Given her young age and
desire to minimize radiation exposure, patient had serial
abdominal exam. She did not have persistent nausea or vomiting
and she reported being able to pass gas and tolerate food
intake. She was given IV dilaudid, which was transitioned to
her home regimen of PO Oxycodone. She was given a prescription
for several days worth of Oxycodone and instructed to follow-up
with her new PCP.
# URINARY TRACT INFECTION: U/A is mildly positive with 9 WBC, +
LE, and also + UCx. Patient states that she has chronic
dysuria, frequent UTI's, and that she has had multiple prior
hospitalization for pyelonephritis and two prior episodes of
kidney stones. She was started on ciprofloxacin and discharged
to complete a total of 7 days.
# ANXIETY: Per patient, prescriptions had previously been given
by her PCP prior to moving to [**Location (un) 86**]. Per last discharge
summary, attempts were made to contact a pharmacy and her prior
PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] no record of prescriptions could be obtained. She was
continued on her home medications and no prescriptions were
given at discharge.
Contact: HCP is uncle [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 9625**] [**Telephone/Fax (1) 88920**]. Boyfriend with
whom she lives is second emergency contact at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 88922**].

NSTEMI, s/p CABG (LIMA to the LAD, SVG to OM1 and OM2) and St.
[**Initials (NamePattern4) 1525**] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 1291**] ([**12-12**]) with course complivated by wound dehisence,
chronic systolic dysfunction EF 30%, ESRD on HD, afib on
coumadin, stroke, chronic anemia, recent lower GI bleed with
bleeding rectal ulcers and CMV colitis, and chronic left-sided
pleural effusion transferred from [**Hospital 100**] Rehab for increasing
SOB and lethargy after receiving 1 unit PRBCs earlier today for
Hct 21; he recieved HD yesterday. HD was stopped prematurely
yesterday due to hypotension to 60/40. His discharge weight on
[**2-15**] was 60 kg; he was 73 kg pre-dialysis on [**2-21**]. Of note,
patient was discharged on [**2-15**] from the [**Hospital1 **] service after a
similar presentation, with status improving after emergent
dialysis removing 10 liters and thoracentesis. Course
complicated during this admission by presumed c. diff colitis
due to profuse diarrhea, treated with 14 days flagyl.
.
On arrival to the ED, initial vitals were T 97.2 HR 120 (afib)
BP 123/110 RR 20 100% 4L NC in acute respiratory distress. Labs
significant for H/H 7.1 AND 21.0, BNP [**Numeric Identifier 89668**] INR 2.3. He was
placed on BiPAP with resolution of respiratory distress. Prior
to transfer, patient was started on levophed for SBPs in 80s.
.
On review of systems, he has a history of stroke, PE, bleeding
with surgery, deep venous thrombosis. He denies myalgias, joint
pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. He denies
recent fevers, chills or rigors. He denies exertional buttock or
calf pain. All of the other review of systems were negative.
.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for chest pain, severe SOB,
DOE, ankle edema, PND, Orthopnea, absence of chest pain,
palpitations.
.
In the ED initial VS were noted to be T97.2, HR 120, BP 123/110,
RR 20, Sat 100% on 4L.
Past Medical History:
1. CARDIAC RISK FACTORS: Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Hypertension
2. CARDIAC HISTORY:
In [**2135-9-3**], per the patient's wife report, the patient
had a stent placed to the LAD and two other vessels and did well
on plavix, aspirin and coreg with an EF of 45%. On [**2136-12-7**]
after episode of CP, the patient was admitted to OSH with non- Q
wave MI and underwent cardiac catheterization which revealed 70%
LAD instent stenosis, 70-80% instent stenosis at the RCA and the
LCx had 90% stenosis and an
aortic valve area of 0.9cm. He underwent a CABG LIMA to LAD
saphenous graft sequential to an OM1 and OM2 and [**Hospital3 **] [**Hospital3 1291**].
Post -operatively course complicated by severe hyptnesion
requiring high dose pressor support with vasopressin,
epinephrine and levophed. A balloon pump was placed for several
days. He required multiple blood products. His post-op EF was
noted to be 30% per [**Hospital 100**] Rehab records. he was transferred to
[**Hospital 100**] rehab from OSH for an NSTEMI, [**Hospital 1291**] and CABG complicated by
multiple issues described below.
-CABG: LIMA to LAD saphenous graft sequential to an OM1 and OM2

.
CHEST XRAY [**2137-2-28**] IMPRESSION: Findings compatible with
pulmonary edema.
.
.
TTE [**2137-2-28**]
The left atrium is dilated. The right atrium is moderately
dilated. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy.
The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (LVEF= 25 %)
with regional variation (lateral wall relatively preserved). The
right ventricular free wall thickness is normal. Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with depressed free wall
contractility. There are focal calcifications in the aortic
arch. A bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The
transaortic gradient is higher than expected for this type of
prosthesis. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There
is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion.
.
Compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed)
of 10 Janaury [**2137**], the tricuspid regurgitation appears reduced,
but the technically suboptimal nature of both studies precludes
definitive comparison.
.
CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION [**2137-2-28**]
1. Resting hemodynamics revealed elevated left-sided filling
pressure
with a mean PCWP of 20 mmHg. There was moderate pulmonary
hypertension
with a PA pressure of 60/28 mmHg. Cardiac output was mildly
depressed
at 4.76 L/min with an index of 2.61 L/min/m2.
2. The RVH sheath was coverted to a CVVH catheter following
right heart
cathterization.
.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Elevated left sided filling pressure
2. Moderate-severe pulmonary hypertension.
3. CVVH catheter placed.
.
.
CT ABD/PELVIS: [**2137-3-2**]
1. No CT evidence of colitis.
2. Stable appearance of bilateral pleural effusions and
compressive
atelectasis.
3. Stable small pericardial effusion.
.
.
TTE [**2137-3-4**]
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. Left
ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. Due to
suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. There is moderate global left
ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 30 %). Right ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. A bileaflet aortic valve
prosthesis is present. The aortic valve prosthesis appears well
seated, with normal transvalvular gradients. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+]
tricuspid regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid regurgitation jet
is eccentric and may be underestimated. There is no pericardial
effusion.
.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2137-2-28**],
the findings are similar (estimated PASP may be slightly lower).
.
CHEST XRAY
IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to [**2-27**] through 30:
.
Progressive consolidation at the left lung base is most likely
atelectasis, worsened since [**3-3**], but pneumonia,
particularly due to aspiration could have the same appearance.
Previous pulmonary vascular congestion continues to improve.
Moderate cardiomegaly is longstanding. Small left pleural
effusion is stable. Stomach is distended with air and fluid,
gastrostomy tube in place. No pneumothorax

CABG (LIMA to the LAD, SVG to OM1 and OM2) and St. [**Initials (NamePattern4) 1525**] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 1291**]
([**12-12**]) with course complivated by wound dehisence, chronic
systolic dysfunction EF 30%, ESRD on HD, afib on coumadin,
anemia, recent lower GI bleed with bleeding rectal ulcers and
CMV colitis with worsening SOB, acute decompensated heart
failure.
.
# GOALS OF CARE: Goals of care continuously discussed with
family members and the [**Name (NI) 89670**] consult team who had care for
the patient through two hospitalizations. After significant
discussion regarding sepsis, failure of dialysis without pressor
support, multiple wound infections and multiple co-morbities,
the patients was made comfort measures only on HD 9. Heparin gtt
was continued to prevent stroke per families wishes and dopamin
was slowly weaned off. CVVH, antibiotic therapy and all other
medications and lab draws were discontinued. On HD 13, the
patient was noted to be more alert with improved quality of
life. Goals of care was readdressed with the family and
hemodialysis was re-initiated. Antibiotic therapy ([**Name (NI) **])
was restarted to cover staph and enterococcus (VRE) positive
blood cultures. As Mr. [**Known lastname 89671**] [**Last Name (Titles) **] picture continued to
stabilize and he tolerated HD, there needs to be continuing
discussions regarding quality of life and goals of treatment.
Still holding all cardiac meds to allow BP for HD.
....
# CHF: Patient initially floridly volume overloaded in acute
decompensated heart failure. Patient 13 kg over discharge
weight several days prior to admission at dialysis, likely 15-20
Liters overloaded. Hyponatremia and extremely high BNP also
consistent with florid hypervolemia. Patient did not get full
HD session prior to admission due to hypotension. Acute
decompensation also likely triggered by unit of blood given
earlier today at rehab facility. Swan could not be floated but
had RHC during HD cath placement which showed wedge of 20. CKMB
stabilized at 6. Echo on [**2-28**] showed mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size was
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is severely
depressed (LVEF= 25 %) with regional variation (lateral wall
relatively preserved). CVVH initiated for volume management and
NC for respiratory support. Dopamine gtt required to maintain
diuresis with CVVH. Ultimately, unable to wean dopamine gtt with
CVVH. Goals of care were discussed as above. Pt's fluid status
now being managed through HD and ACEi, Beta blocker being held
to allow for blood presure room during HD.

#. ESRD: Status post HD catheter placement on [**2-28**] after large
graft hematoma. CVVH via right groin line. Right upper arm
fistula repaired and now working normally. Tolerating HD
treatments as above and plan Mon/Wed/Fri schedule. Dr. [**Name (NI) 118**],
pt's nephrologist who has followed pt very closely here, will
continue to consult for HD issues after transfer.
.
#. ANEMIA: Patient with Hct 21 on admission, has a history of
transfusion-dependent anemia with GI sources, including rectal
ulcers. Transfused 3 units of PRBCs during admission. Initially
concerning for CMV colitis versus rectal ulcers. C diff sent
off as patient was being treated at rehab facility with PO vanco
and flagyl. Flexiseal placed. CMV VL negative and cdiff PCR
negative. Hct now 28. Has rec'd 2U PRBC during last HD
treatments and continued epogen injections during HD.
.
# GPC BACTEREMIA: GPC??????s in pairs & clusters grew from blood cx
from femoral line and art line on HD 6 which ultimately
speciated to staph aureus. Likely responsible for his
leukocytosis and worsening [**Name (NI) **] picture. He was continued
on Vancomycin. HD line was not removed, but changed over wire HD
7 after extensive discussion with Renal consult and family
regarding access. Dopamine was continued. After patient was
made CMO, vancomycin resistent enterococcus was positive in a
second set of blood cultures from HD 8. At this time the patient
was CMO and off antibiotic therapy. On HD 13, [**Name (NI) **] PO was
started to treat staph aureas and VRE after rediscussion of
goals of care. His last day will be [**2137-3-20**].
.
# HYPERCALCEMIA: Unclear etiology. Developed in the setting of
discontinuation of CVVH (in absence of citrate). Hypercalcemia
also possibly secondary to ischemia, in setting of hypotension
and elevated lactate. Lastly, patient likely has underlying
tertiary hyperparathyroidism from ESRD, known to have chronic
hypercalcemia in prior records. Likely acute on chronic
physiology. Ca has been stable at 10.
.
#. HYPOTENSION: Likely secondary decompensated heart failure,
septic physiology, and overdiuresis at times w/ CVVH. He was
continued on continuous dopamine for pressor support until goals
of care were discussed and dopamine was discontinued. Now BP is
rising off of cardiac meds.
.
#. GRAFT HEMATOMA: Large hematoma of RUE near graft site. Tender
to touch with small area of induration. Transplant surgery had
no plans to evacuate hematoma or fix graft while patient
unstable and bacteremic. Heparin gtt was continued for
anticoagulation. Now fixed and functioning well.
.
#. DIARRHEA: Flexiseal placed at rehab facility. Prior history
of CMV colitis. Per [**Hospital 100**] Rehab med list, was on PO Vanco. He
was started on oral vancomycin, metronidazole and gancyclovir. C
diff negative toxin two times, and PCR negative. No evidence of
colitis on CT scan. CMV VL negative. Gangcyclovir discontinued
on HD 6. Oral vancomycin and IV metronidazole were discontinued
on HD 7 after culture date negative. Has resolved but perineal
area still red and inflamed.
.
#. ANTICOAGULATION: Despite persistent anemia and GIB risk with
rectal ulcers, he was continued on heparin gtt given multiple
indications, including atrial fibrillation, mechanical valve and
presumed clot burden noted on previous hospitalizations.
Coumadin was restarted on [**3-18**] at 2mg daily and INR should be
checked on [**3-20**].
.
# AF: Patient presented in AFib with RVR. Has history of
chronic AFib, rate controlled with carvedilol, anticoagulated on
coumadin. He was started on amiodarone 400mg three times daily
but this medicine was held when pt made comfort care. Pt
currently in AF wtih rates 70's-80's. Coumadin restarted on [**3-18**]
at 2mg daily and currently on heparin drip as a bridge. Needs
INR on [**2137-3-20**] with goal 2.0-3.0.
.
#. CAD: Status post CABG [**12-12**]. Holding aspirin due to GIB. No
evidence of acute MI on ECG. Lateral ST changes on admission
likely secondary to demand ischemia from tachycardia. Enzymes
elevated likely due to renal failure.
.
# IDDM: Humalog SS, fingersticks QID. Will need to restart
lantus when tube feedings are started. Holding Lantus now in
setting of poor PO's.
.
#. Hypothyroid: On levothyroxine 75 mcg.
.
#. Depression: Zoloft should be restarted after [**Year (2 digits) **] is
finished on [**3-20**]. Pt is alert, talkative, aware of his situation
but wants to continue aggressive care for his family. He
currently has minimal SOB that is managed well with low dose
Morphine IV and no further CP. His goals of care may change if
his SOB and chest pain return and cannot be managed.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 55562**] was admitted on [**2157-6-1**] and underwent Flexible
bronchoscopy, Video assisted thoracoscopic thoracoscopy, Right
lower lobe superior segment and inferior right middle lobe wedge
resections. He was monitored in the PACU prior to transfer to
the floor with a right chest-tube, foley and an epidural in
place managed by the acute pain service. On POD #1 the epidural
removed and he was converted to PO pain medication with good
control. The chest-tube was removed and a chest x-ray revealed
a collapsed right lower lobe and his oxygenation requirements
increased. He was later transferred to the TSICU and was
bronched for a mucus plug. A repeat film revealed a re-expanded
right lower lobe. He was restarted on his parkinsion's
medication. The foley was removed but was re-inserted for
urinary retention. Physical therapy was consulted to assist with
mobilization. On POD #2 he transferred back to the floor.
He continued to progress, was ambulating with assistance,
tolerating a regular diet, urinating without difficulty, he is
discharged home with PT services

Brief Hospital Course:
In ED, initial VS 96.8 193/113 78 24 100% NRB. He desatted to
91% on RA. He had a CXR which did not show any infiltrate or
effusion. His labs were notable for acute renal failure and
hypernatremia, BNP lower than last value from [**6-4**]. His
shortness of breath worsened acutely and he was tried on BiPap
which he did not tolerate. He was admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for
further monitoring in setting of elevated BP and transient need
for BiPap. He detereorated further and was intubated. Abdominal
exam became more distended and a tranplant Surgery consult was
requested . Initially, he was persistently hypertensive and was
treated with nitro and nicardipine drips. On HD #2, renal U/S
showed no abnormalities. On HD #3, he was intubated for
progressive pulmonary decompensation. On HD #4, renal biopsy
concerning for rejection with superimposed ATN. Progressive
acidosis at this time. On HD #7, acute hypotensive episode, SBP
70, minimally responsive to fluid resuscitation and
vasopressors, guiac positive stool, KUB showing bowel
dilatation. CT abdomen showed bowel pneumatosis. On HD #8,
approximately 6 hours after initial surgical consultation, the
patient was taken to the OR. At this point, he was on three
vasopressors, LFT markedly elevated, coagulopathic, and anemic.
Also of note, he demonstrated a methemoglobinemia as high as 13%
(nl 0-2%) on the day of his decompensation. There was frankly
necrotic and perforated bowel, encompassing the majority of his
small bowel and transverse/proximal left colon, as well patchy
necrosis of his liver. These portions of dead bowel were
resected and the patient was left in discontinuity, abdomen
open, and returned to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] and then later transferred to the
SICU. Massive resuscitation continued, with copious blood
product transfusions, CVVH initiated. On POD #1, he was taken
back to the OR and there was a large amount of hematoma
evacuated without obvious source of bleeding, omentectomy was
performed, bowel looked viable, abdomen left open. On POD #2,
he went into rapid afib with associated hypotension, treated
with electrical cardioversion and rate control. Later that day,
he was taken back to the OR and an end jejunostomy was performed
after failed attempts at re-establishing continuity secondary to
tissue friability. On POD #[**4-4**], vasopressors on and off,
continued CVVH, developed neutropenia (WBC 0.3) treated with
Neupogen, gradual increase in ventilator requirements (increased
FiO2 and PEEP). On POD #7, he was taken back to the OR for
abdominal wash-out, vicryl mesh closure of abdomen, and VAC
dressing placement. Bowel looked viable at this time. On POD
#8, the patient went back into rapid afib with hypotension,
treated with electrical cardioversion, but progressed to
refractory shock requiring three vasopressors. On POD #9,
precipitous decompensation ensued, family was consulted, CMO
status and expiration shortly thereafter.

[**2-18**] CXR No focal consolidations. Hyperinflation suggestive of
possible
emphysema or COPD.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname 25383**] was initially admitted to the MICU given concern for
her tachypnea and tachycardia. She was treated for pneumonia
with levofloxacin and for COPD with steroids and nebulizers.
Her oxygen saturations remained in the high 90s with 3L
supplemental oxygen. Her chest-xray did not show consolidation.
She tested negative for legionella urinary antigen and was
negative for flu. She was transferred to a regular medical
floor on the second day of her hospitalization. Her warfarin
for her knee replacement was held when her INR became
supratherapeutic >5 in the setting of antibiotic use.
On the floor, the following issues were managed:
# Respiratory distress. Patient was treated for CAP/HAP with
levoquin and discharged to complete a 7 day course. CXR on
admission showed hyperinflation without focal findings and
repeat showed now interval change. No sputum culture to guide
therapy. She was also treated for COPD flare/bronchitis with
burst of prednisone 60mg daily and with aggressive nebulizer
treatment. Over the course her stay, her resp status
dramatically improved. She was discharged with a slow 10 day
taper. She was weaned off oxygen with some residual cough. Lung
exam improved with some residual crackles and wheezing at bases.
Had been ruled out for flu. PE also possible but less likely
given therapeutic on coumadin on admission. Viral culture showed
RSV and after discussion with ID the treatment is just
supportive care.
.
#.Anemia. Hct stable. Iron studies c/w mixed iron deficiency and
likely chronic disease. Recent baseline hct low 30s, however was
40 on admission likely hemoconcentrated in setting of illness.
No obvious bleeding. Hct remained stable. Her iron was increased
to [**Hospital1 **].
.
# Coagulopathy: Pt on warfarin at home for planned 4 week
post-op course since [**1-26**]. Elevated INR in setting of abx use
on admission but then became subtherapeutic after holding doses.
It was restarted but she was not yet therapeutic upon
discharge. No evidence of bleeding.
.
# Anxiety: stable, cont home PRN ativan
.
# HTN: reasonably controlled, cont home lisinopril

Chief Complaint:
fevers, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
This is a 39 year-old male with a history of cerebral palsy,
chronic aspiration, GERD, ? ulcerative colitis who presents with
low grade temps at home, cough, abdominal pain. He is
accompanied by his mother. [**Name (NI) **] had a colonoscopy on [**3-17**] to
evaluate for IBD, with fairly normal appearing bowel but
biopsies are pending. Afterwards, he was constipated, but then
started have very loose stools yesterday and today. He has had
low grade temps, about 100 at home. Also, his mother states his
cough seems to be worse lately. He has also been complaining of
abdominal pain as well. He gets his nutrition via his G-tube at
home. Also of note, he recently completed a course of
azithromycin for a skin boil.
.
In the ED, inital vitals were 101.2, 140, 113/79, 28, 92%RA. He
was given a total of 3L IVFs in the ED with improvement of his
tachycardia. He was also given morphine and zofran in the ED.
Subsequently, his SBP dropped to the 80s and high 70s, and was
not improving with IVFs. He was started on peripheral dopamine.
There were lengthy discussions with the family regarding a
central line, but they did not want one at this time. His CXR
was concerning for a LLL consolidation. He underwent CT
abdomen/pelvis which did not show any specific findings, but did
show some inflammation of the rectum and ? prostatitis. Rectal
exam did not show e/o tenderness of his prostate. He was given
vancomycin, flagyl, and gentamicin in the ED. He has multiple
abx allergies. He was then transferred to the ICU for further
monitoring.
.
ROS: the patient has limited communication at baseline. Denies
pain at this time.
Past Medical History:
-Cerebral Palsy
-Chronic Aspiration
-Gastroesophageal reflux disease
-? Ulcerative Colitis- currently undergoing workup
-Seizure disorder
Social History:
Lives at home with his parents who provide his care. He is
wheelchair bouns and non verbal at baseline. He receives
nutrition through a G-tube, though he can take certain liquid
medications by mouth. He has a personal care assistant at home
who also helps with his care. No tobacco, ETOH or illicit drug
use.

.
[**3-21**] CT ABD/PELVIS:
CT PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: There is apparent mild rectal
thickening, which may relate to recent instrumentation or be
inflammatory in nature. A slightly edematous appearance of the
prostate and seminal vesicles is again seen, but of unclear
etiology. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
Bilateral fat and fluid-containing inguinal hernias are
identified. Osseous structures demonstrate a right convex
curvature of the lumbosacral spine. There are bilateral pars
defects of the L5 vertebral body, without evidence of antero- or
retrolisthesis. There are apparent undescended or high-riding
testicles, for which non-urgent scrotal ultrasound should be
consisdered.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of perforation or abscess.
2. Mild rectal thickening may be inflammatory or post-procedural
in nature.
3. Consider non-urgent scrotal ultrasound.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 39 year-old male with a history of cerebral palsy,
chronic aspiration, GERD who presents with fevers, cough,
abdominal pain, and diarrhea with persistent hypotension.
.
Plan:
# Hypotension - on initial admit, febrile, tachycardic, and had
leukocytosis. Potential likely sources included LLL pneumonia
with infiltrate on CXR, c.diff given diarrhea and recent abx
exposure. Other possible causes are prostate though no specific
findings on exam. urine clear. no clear reason to suspect
meningitis (no neck stiffness than baseline per mother). GI was
consulted. Family deferred CVL; team discussed risks of
dopamine peripherally. Dopamine was initially given for ~10
hours to maintian MAPs>60. Pt was initially treated for
possible aspiration pna and cdiff with vanco, gentamicin, and
flagyl. On hospital day #2, gentamicin and vancomycin were
discontinued and flaygl was continued as the infiltrates on cxr
were not felt to be the active site of infection. Patient did
not have evidence of c.diff and was discontinued. The patient
clinically improved and was discharged home on loperamide.
.
# Hypotension: as above, thought likely component of
dehydration, medication effect from meds given in the ED and
infection. Pt was treated with IVF and initially with dopamine.
Hemodynamics were stabilized.
.
# Abd pain/gerd: CT scan ruled out acute pathology, suggested
duodenitis. CXR suggested possible chronic aspiration. Pt
remained on his at-home PPI and H2 blocker. He was restarted on
his TFs via G-tube on hospital day #2.
.
# Seizure d/o: continued home phenobarb and diazepam

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 5018**]
Chief Complaint:
Headache
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 39 year old right handed woman with a
history of hypertension, DM2, and oral contraceptive use who
presents with an 8 day history of bilateral frontal throbbing
headaches associated with blurry peripheral vision which changed
to left occipital throbbing headaches on the day prior to
admission, an episode of loss of power and balance in her right
arm and leg 5 days prior to admission, 2 episodes of vertigo and
projectile vomiting, and leaning to the left when walking, who
was found to have occlusion of her left vertebral artery with
embolic left PICA and PCA infarcts.
The patient reports that her symptoms started 8 days ago on
Sunday ([**8-22**]). She reports that she very rarely gets headaches,
but on Sunday woke up from her afternoon nap with a bilateral
frontal, throbbing, [**2107-3-10**] headache. She said this was
associated
with blurry vision out of the peripheral vision of her bilateral
eyes. She noticed this when watching TV and when [**Location (un) 1131**] her
book. She did not close each eye individually to test her
vision.
There was no sensation of movement in her periphery, and no
fortification spectra. She took Advil for this headache, which
improved after 2-3 hours. She slept well overnight, and then on
Monday ([**8-23**]) woke up again with a [**2107-6-13**] frontal throbbing
headache, this time was associated with photophobia,
phonophobia,
and nausea but no vomiting. The headache did not get worse when
she layed flat. Because of this, she went to her PCP where she
described the headache as the worse headache of her life, and
was
referred to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED where head CT was normal. She was given
Compazine and Ibuprofen with improvement in her headache. Her
headache ended up lasting 6-7 hours.
On Tuesday ([**8-24**]) she was able to go to work in the lab, and did
not have a headache. On Wednesday ([**8-25**]) she had a central
frontal headache, which improved with Advil. That day, she had
an
episode in which she was holding the door with her left hand and
then lost power and lost balance in her right leg. She could not
bear weight on the right leg, and this lasted 5 minutes. During
the episode for 1 minute she also felt as though she had lost
power and balance in her right arm. Her sensation on the right
side was normal during this episode, and she had no facial
weakness, dyarthria, or aphasia. She called her PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) 1023**]
reassured her given the normal head CT in the ED. On Thursday
([**8-26**]), she did not have a headache but was evaluated by
ophthomology where her vision was 20/20 bilaterally.
On Friday ([**8-27**]), she had a left frontal headache despite taking
Motrin. She continued to have blurry vision with each frontal
headache (and even reported that if she had a headache on one
side, she would have the blurry vision on the opposite side).
She
again saw her PCP who recommended Claritin D for a possible
sinus
infection, and ordered the patient an MRI head. At 10:00 pm that
night, the patient had [**2107-6-14**] pain in her left frontal region
despite the Motrin. She took Claritin and went to bed. She woke
up from sleep on Saturday morning ([**8-28**]) at 2:00 am and felt the
room spinning around her. She even remembers feeling a spinning
sensation in her dream before waking up. She began to have
projectile vomiting which she said she could not control. The
dizziness lasted for 15-30 minutes, and she had no associated
diplopia, dysarthria, or dysphagia. She had a slight headache at
that time. She did not get up to walk during this event, and
ended up going back to bed. However, she woke up again at 5:00
am
with the room spinning around her and projectile vomiting. She
could not get up, so again was taken to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED. Per the ED
report she had a "negative [**Last Name (un) **]-Hallpike, and was thought to have
a sinus infection as the cause of her symptoms". No further
imaging was obtained. She was given Valium 5 mg prn and
discharged home. The dizziness lasted a total of [**4-11**] hours and
improved with Valium.
Yesterday ([**8-29**]), at 6:00-7:00 pm she developed a mild,
throbbing, left occipital headache, and she noticed when she
walked she was drifting to the left side. She called her PCP
about these symptoms on [**8-30**], and she changed her MRI head with

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known firstname 80546**] is a 39 yo woman with a history of hypertension,
diabetes (type II) and PCOS who presented with 8 days of
headache with progression to vertigo and left neck/occipital
pain.
# PICA/PCA infarcts/Vertebral Dissections: The patient was
referred to the ED by her PCP following MRI identification of a
cerebellar infarct. An occipital infarct was also identified.
CTA of the head was notable for an apparent intracranial left
vertebral artery dissection. She was started on a heparin gtt,
and then switched to a Lovenox bridge to Coumadin. An
echocardiogram was performed and showed no abnormalities. She
is currently on Lovenox while bridging to a goal INR of 2.0-2.5.
She was found to have significantly elevated triglycerides, and
was also on oral contraceptives, both of which could make her
hypercoagulable. In addition, a hypercoagulable panel was sent,
the results of which are still pending. Her exam on discharge
is notable only for slight slowing of rapid alternating
movements with the left hand, and very mild gait instability,
most notable when turning.
# Hypertriglyceridemia. The patient was noted to have a
triglyceride of 880. She was started on gemfibrozil and
simvastatin. She is not aware of any family history of lipid
elevations, however this raises suspicion for Type IV
hyperlipidemia. It is also possible that her high triglycerides
increased the viscosity of her blood, contributing to her
current stroke.
# Diabetes: HgA1c on admission was 6.8. Metformin was held in
the setting of IV contrast. Blood sugars were controlled with
insulin. She is to resume her metformin on discharge, however
given her significant hyperlipidemia, she may benefit from
switching back to insulin in the future.
# Tachycardia: Throughout her admission the patient had
constant asymptomatic sinus tachycardia. Her heart rate did
increase to the 140s with activity, but even at rest, while
sleeping she remained in the 100-110s. The tachycardia was not
fluid responsive, and not related to pain. She remained
afebrile during the entire admission. She had a TSH checked,
which was normal at 2.8. While she was anemic, her Hct ranged
from 30-32, which is around her baseline. While pulmonary
embolism should be considered, given the possibility that she
may be hypercoagulable, her SaO2 remained 97-100% on room air,
and she was not tachypnic. She had both an EKG and TTE which
showed no signs of right heart strain. Given that constellation
of findings, there was a much lower suspicion for PE. She had
already had significant contrast exposure from her earlier
imaging, and she was already being anticoagulated, so the
decision was made not to get a PE CT, as it would not change
management and there was low suspicion that this was causing her
tachycardia. Given her known thrombus elsewhere, a D-dimer
would not have been useful. There is evidence that medullary
involvement in PICA strokes can result in tachycardia, and it is
suspected that this was the underlying cause. She was started
on a low dose beta-blocker for rate control, and this should
continue to be followed.
# PCOS: The patient was taking oral contraceptives for
treatment of her PCOS. Given her stroke, this medication was
discontinued. Reinitiation of this medication verus alternative
treatment should be discussed with her endocrinologist.
# Hypertension: Micardis was held on admission to allow for
autoregulation in the setting of stroke, but was restarted on
discharge, in addition to a low dose of metoprolol.
# Anemia: The patient was noted to have a significantly
microcytic anemia. On further questioning she noted that she
actually had been diagnosed with thalassemia trait in the past.
It also appears as though she has a component of iron
deficiency, and should continue on iron supplementation.
# Thyroid: Incidentally the patient was noted to have an
enlarged left thyroid lobe and bilateral nodules on MRI. TSH
was normal at 2.8. It is recommended that she have a thyroid
ultrasound as an outpatient.

CT Neck on admission:
1. Large left retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal
abscess,extending to the
carotid space measuring 7.0 x 4.2 x 3.2 cm. Stranding in the
base
of the neck, but no definite extension into the mediastinum.
2. Significant mass effect on the oropharyngeal airway,
3. Compression of the left internal jugular vein, without
complete occlusion.
4. No osteomyelitis.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 18 year old male who presented to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED
with enlarging left neck mass with CT demonstrating a large
parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal abscess surrounding the great
vessels. He was taken urgently to the OR for drainage. He
underwent fiberoptic intubation and incision and drainage of the
abscess. Intra-op findings notable for a well loculated abscess
in the parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal space as well as
lateral to the SCM. The left internal jugular vein was ligated
as it was involved in the abscess pocket. A large amount of
purulent material was drained and three penroses placed in the
potential spaces. The patient tolerated the procedure without
immediate complications. For details, please see separately
dictated operative note by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1837**]. Postoperatively,
the patient was kept intubated and taken to the ICU for closer
observation.
The remainder of his hospital course is reviewed here by
systems:
Wound: The patient had a horizontal incision left neck incision
with three penroses in place. The wound continued to be open and
drain during this period. On POD #4, the patient underwent
repeat CT imaging of the neck in the setting of a slight rise in
his WBC to 12 and chest pain, which was negative for any
residual abscess or for evidence of mediastinitis. His symptoms
thereafter resolved. The penroses were slowly inched out daily
and removed on POD #7. Following removal of the penroses, the
wound cavity was irrigated and then packed with 1-inch iodaform
strip gauze (10 cm) with plan for continued dressing changes
daily as an outpatient with assistance of VNA, as the cavity
slowly seals in.
Neuro: The patient's cranial nerves were fully intact following
the procedure. His voice was strong and a post-op FOE
demonstrated bilateral, symmetric vocal cord mobility. He was
noted to have a left-sided Horner's syndrome, without
significant functional compromise. The patient's pain was
initially controlled with IV antibiotics. He was kept sedated
while on the ventilator. Post-extubation, the patient was
transitioned to PO pain medications with good effect. By time of
discharge, the patient was requiring minimal narcotic pain
medications. He was given 0.5mg ativan as needed for anxiety
with good effect.
Resp: The patient remained intubated in the ICU until POD#2. He
was extubated on this date without difficulty and subsequently
transferred to the floor. He was weaned off of oxygen by POD #4.
CT on [**2-3**], showed scattered opacities which were consistent
with aspiration or pneumonia. He received aggressive chest PT,
ambulation and incentive spirometry throughout his hospital
course and was satting >95% by time of discharge.
CV: The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout his
hospitalization. He complained of transient left chest pain on
[**2-3**] with EKG showing ? of T-wave inversions in lateral leads.
His cardiac enzymes were cycled and negative x 3. His symptoms
resolved. CT performed on this date showed no evidence of
mediastinitis.
ID: The infectious disease department was consulted and they
recommended Unasyn, Clindamycin and vancomycin as emperic
coverage initially, which was subsequently simplified to
Unasyn/Vancomycin. The patient had repeat imaging on [**2177-2-3**]
which demonstrated a well drained abscess pocket without
evidence of mediastinal involvement or residual abscess. The
patient remained afebrile and his WBC trended down for the
remainder of the hospitalization. Per ID, the patient is being
dicharged on Ertapenem and Vancomycin to complete a 14 day IV
course, and thereafter transition to moxifloxacin for additional
14 days or as instructed further by ID.
GI: The patient was NPO until extubation. Thereafter, his diet
was advanced to regular, which he tolerated without coughing or
difficulty.
GU: The patient had a foley in place which was discontinued
following extubation. He voided without issue.
Endo: No issues.
Heme: The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout
his hospitalizaiton. He received SQH throughout his hospital
course and was ambulating the halls frequently.
The remainder of the hospital course was uneventful; the patient
remained afebrile and hemodynamically stable. His pain was well
controlled on oral pain medications. By the day of discharge, on
[**2177-2-7**], he was tolerating a regular diet, able to void without
difficulty and ambulate without assistance. He and his family
expressed the readiness and desire to go home and was discharged
to home with VNA services for dressing changes and IV
antibiotics, on POD # 8, [**2177-2-7**], with instructions to follow
up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1837**] and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 6137**] (Infectious disease)

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 65-year-old
lady with dementia, seen in the catheterization holding area
for two vessel disease. She is status post ventricular
fibrillation arrest on [**2123-10-6**], cardioverted to atrial
fibrillation by medics. She is status post silent myocardial
infarction x 2, status post stent and arterectomy to the
mid-left anterior descending on [**2123-10-13**], diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, high cholesterol. She presented to an outside
hospital with profuse diaphoresis. It was seen that she had
a large are of anteroseptal ischemia. She has an ejection
fraction of 45%. The patient is unable to give a history due
to her dementia. History obtained from the chart.
HOME MEDICATIONS: Insulin, Lopressor, Zestril, Synthroid,
Lipitor, iron, Colace, multivitamin, aspirin.
ALLERGIES: Sulfa, Biaxin.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Myocardial infarction x 2, arterectomy
to mid-left anterior descending and stent.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is a nonsmoker.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: In general, the patient is somnolent.
She doesn't know why she is in the hospital. Blood pressure
138/48, heart rate 58. Extremities: All pulses are felt.
Heart: Regular rate and rhythm.
PLAN: The patient was admitted to [**Hospital1 190**] for coronary artery bypass graft.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted on [**2124-3-22**]. On
[**2124-3-23**], the patient was taken to the operating room, where a
coronary artery bypass graft was performed, with left
internal mammary artery to the diagonal, and saphenous vein
graft to the obtuse marginal. The patient was thereafter
sent to the Intensive Care Unit for postoperative care.
Postoperative care appeared to be somewhat unremarkable. She
was seen by Physical Therapy. While in the Intensive Care
Unit, the patient experienced quite brittle blood sugar
control, and the [**Last Name (un) **] was consulted for assistance in
controlling her insulin.
The patient was transferred to the floor on [**2124-3-28**] in good
condition. Her pacing wires and sutures were removed on
[**2124-3-29**]. It is now [**2124-3-30**], and the patient is being
discharged in good condition. She is to follow up with her
cardiologist in two to three weeks, with her primary care
physician in one to two weeks, and with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1537**] in four
weeks. She is being discharged with Lopressor 12.5 mg by
mouth twice a day, sliding scale and fixed doses of insulin,

Chief Complaint:
Thoracic back pain and leg weakness
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
T4 laminectomy
History of Present Illness:
51 yo man w/ PMH of esophageal CA s/p chemo and radiation w/
known progressive disease presented to OSH [**7-16**] for evaluation
of new onset LE paralysis. He had upper back pain for 2 days
prior to admission. On the day of presentation he woke up and
noted LLE weakness. Over the course of the day he developed RLE
weakness and came to the ED for further evaluation. His ROS is
significant for reporting no bowel movements or urination for
1-2 days.
.
Team was concerned for spinal cord compression, but could not
get MRI as pt has surgical clips after traumatic head injury. CT
myelogram showed occlusion of spinal canal at T4, so taken
emergently to OR. Found epidural abscess, which was washed out.
.
On POD#2, pt became acute dyspneic and hypoxic to 77% after
nasotracheal suctioning. ABG 7.40/40/43 on 100% FM. On arrival
to MICU, Sats ranged from 85-95% on NRB + 6L NC; briefly placed

CT Myelogram (pre-op): Contrast flowed readily from the injected
level (L3/4) through the lumbar spine and extending cephalad to
the thoracic spine. There is complete block of contrast material
at the thoracic [**3-23**] vertebral body level. The post- myelogram CT
of the thoracic and cervical spine reconfirmed that there is
complete block of contrast within the subarachnoid space at the
T4/5 level.
Bedside Echocardiogram: There is a moderate sized pericardial
effusion most prominent anterior to the right atrium with brief
right atrial diastolic collapse. A promient echogenic area is
seen overlying the right ventricular free wall which likely
represents epicardial fat (cannot exclude thrombus or tumor if
this is clinically suggested). There is but no right ventricular
diastolic collapse with relatively minimal fluid anterior to the
right ventricle. There is mild eccentuation of transmitral
Doppler E wave suggesting increased pericardial pressure. Serial
evaluation is suggested.
CXRs have shown intermittent, recurrent opacification
alternately of the left and right lungs.
Chest CT on [**7-18**] showed debris in the distal L mainstem bronchus
consistent with aspirated material. CTA was negative for PE.
Brief Hospital Course:
51 yo man with esophageal cancer s/p chemo and XRT presenting
with abrupt onset lower extremity flacid paralysis found to have
T4 epidural abscess, s/p operative debridement, now with acute
onset respiratory distress
.
# Respiratory distress: acute dyspnea with severe hypoxemia and
tachycardia on HD#3, now maintaining adequate saturation on high
flow nebulizer mask. Ruled out DVT and PE with lower extremity
dopplers and CTA. The combination of locally advanced esophageal
cancer and weakened chest muscles leading to poor cough
predispose to recurrent, significant aspiration. This was
discussed at length with the patient, and he wishes to continue
chest PT and other non-invasive measures to augment his cough
and support his breathing. If non-invasive measures cease to be
effective, he has stated clearly that he would want to be made
comfortable. He has continued to affirm that he should not be
intubated.
- aggressive chest PT & nebs since cough is very weak due to T4
spinal lesion.
- supplemental O2 as needed to keep SpO2>90%, currently
requiring Hi Flow venti mask; titrate up to non rebreather if
needed
- DNR/DNI; if noninvasive means to support oxygenation are
ineffective, pt would want to transition to hospice
.
# Pericardial effusion: given cardiomediastinal enlargement on
CXR, stat echo was obtained, which showed moderate pericardial
effusion with invagination of RA, equivocal respiratory
variation of RV movement, but no collapse of RV. Given
low/normal pulsus and no signs of tamponade by echo, this
effusion is likely not the cause of his respiratory
decompensation.
.
# T4 epidural abscess: s/p open debridement on [**7-16**], wound
cultures growing Strep milleri, but wound GM stain also showed a
GM Neg coccobacillus, suspect mouth flora. Ceftriaxone 2gm Q24H
for once-daily dosing regimen to cover Strep milleri, and
metronidazole 500mg tid for anaerobes. Will plan to continue
course for 6 weeks given serious CNS infection. After 6 week
course is complete, recommend suppressive therapy with
amoxicillin 500mg daily indefinitely, as the locally advanced
esophageal cancer will remain a risk for thoracic spine
infection.
- TLSO brace while out of bed, multipodis boots to prevent heel
breakdown
- Neurology consult indicated that patient will most likely not
recover meaningful motor function of his legs, ie, ambulation is
unlikely. Any recovery of motor function will be limited and
gradual.
.
# Esophageal CA: s/p chemo and xrt, with stenting for stenosis.
Pain control. Patient's goals for treatment have been to be able
to eat; oncologist Dr [**First Name (STitle) **] has indicated that further chemo or
xrt will likely not help in this regard but continue to follow.
Pain control.
.
# GERD: continue protonix
.
# Nutrition: pt cannot tolerate solid foods. Ensure supplements,
soft foods only.
.
# Tobacco Dependance: nicotine patch
.
# Prophylaxis:
-heparing subcutaneous, pneumoboots, and protonix
.
# Code Status: DNR/DNI, discussed with patient and family
including HCP (mother)

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Hospital3 7**] & Rehab Center - [**Hospital1 8**]
Discharge Diagnosis:
esophageal cancer
T4 epidural abscess, polymicrobial, with spinal cord compression
and paraplegia
Discharge Condition:
fair, although with tenuous respiratory status.
Discharge Instructions:
You had surgical decompression of a T4 epidural abscess and will
need 6 weeks of antibiotics to treat this. You may or may not
regain much motor function in your legs because of the spinal
cord compression injury.
For your respiratory status, the combination of esophageal
cancer and weakness have predisposed you to aspirating and
prevent you from coughing effectively. Continue with aggressive
chest physical therapy and MIE as long as patient feels
subjective benefit. Supplemental O2.
Followup Instructions:

Studies/Procedures
- ECG: Afib with [**Year (4 digits) 5509**] approx 160, Normal Axis. ST elevation in
III with depresssions V3-V6. Right sided leads with 1mm ST
elevation V4-V6.
.
- CARDIAC CATH: Per Report. 90% occlusion of MID RCA. Case
complicated by dissection with near loss of vessel. Vessel
balloned and 4 BMS placed with resolution of flow. Final report
pending at time of discharge.
.
- TTE: The left atrium is elongated. The right atrium is
moderately dilated. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or
color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The
left ventricular cavity size is normal. There is mild regional
left ventricular systolic dysfunction with inferior hypokinesis
to akinesis. No masses or thrombi are seen in the left
ventricle. There is no ventricular septal defect. Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with borderline normal free
wall function. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic
valve leaflets are moderately thickened. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary artery
systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no
pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study (images
reviewed) of [**2105-4-13**], regional LV systolic dysfunction is new.
The aortic valve area is similar despite lower gradients due to
decreased stroke volume.
Brief Hospital Course:
60 yo male with HLD, HTN, Gout, Anemia who presents with CP
found to have inferior [**Year (4 digits) **] s/p cardiac catheterization
complicated by RCA dissection necessitating placement of BMS x
4.
ACTIVE ISSUES:
#[**Name (NI) **] - Pt presented with CP and was found to have inferior
[**Name (NI) **] on EKG. In the Cath lab, catheterization revealed a 90%
mid RCA lesions. Other vessels without significant disease. Case
complicated by RCA dissection, entire vessel ballooned with four
bare metal stents. Patient transiently on dopamine for
borderline hypotension. One unit of blood given for HCT of 24.9.
Bivalrudin given during case given history of iron deficiency
anemia. Pt started on clopidogrel 75 mg PO daily, simvastatin
40mg, metoprolol XL 150 po daily, and losartan 50 mg PO daily.
ECHO revealed mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with inferior hypokinesis to akinesis. He was
initially started on aspirin 325mg, however this was decreased
to 81mg po daily given concern for possible GI bleed. This
should be re-evaluated as an out-patient with PCP and GI.
Patient will follow up with cardiology on [**6-2**].
.
#Afib with [**Name (NI) 5509**] - Pt was in Afib with [**Name (NI) 5509**] in Cath lab and CCU so
given Lopressor 17.5 mg IV total during cardiac catheterization.
In the CCU, started on esmolol gtt. Blood pressures remained
stable. Pt returned to sinus rhythm, esmolol gtt d/c'ed [**5-23**],
remained in sinus for remainder of hospitalization.
.
#Normocytic Anemia - Hct at 24.9 following catheterization, down
from baseline in low 30s. Pt responded well to 3 units PRBC.
Ongoing outpt work up of anemia without clear etiology.
Hemolysis labs negative. GI was consulted given hct drop in
setting of dark stools while on plavix and aspirin. Given recent
[**Month/Year (2) **], stablization of hct, and normalization of stools, EGD was
deferred at this time. Pt needs to follow-up with GI in 6 weeks
for EGD and colonoscopy for continued work-up of anemia. He was
started on pantoprazole 40mg PO BID. He should continue Plavix
75mg po daily, however aspirin was decreased from 325mg to 81mg
pending further work-up because of increased risk of bleeding.
CHRONIC ISSUES:
#Gout - Pt complained of gouty R knee pain, so started on
colchicine in addition to his home allopurinol. He was not
started on prednisone given the risk of GI bleeding. His pain
was well managed with oxydocone 5mg po prn.
.
#HTN - Increased blood pressure managment with Metoprolol XL 150
po daily, losartan 50mg PO. His blood pressure improved to
130's/80s so will need close monitoring and medication
adjustment by PCP.
.
#HL - increased simvastatin to 40mg po daily in setting of
recent [**Month/Year (2) **].
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
Full Code. Blood cultures and urine cultures were sent given low
grade fever and are still pending at time of discharge. Pt is
being discharged home with many new medications and medication
changes. These changes were discussed with the patient in
detail. He has several follow-up appointments in the next few
weeks including PCP ([**5-29**]), Cardiology ([**6-2**]), Endocrine and
HEM/ONC([**6-3**]). He will need a referral from his PCP to see GI
for EGD and colonoscopy.

History of Present Illness:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 12143**] is a 61 year old female with hypertension. During
evaluation for lymphadenopathy, she underwent CT scan which
revealed dilated ascending aorta. Further workup included an
echocardiogram which showed a bicuspid aortic valve with 1-2+
aortic insufficiency. Ascending aorta measured 4.7cm, aortic
root measured 3.9 cm. The LVEF was 60-70%. Subsequent cardiac
catheterization was notable for normal coronary arteries and
normal left ventricular function. Given the above findings, she
was admitted for surgical intervention. Of note, she recently
underwent hematology evaluation for low white blood cell count.
Etiology is unclear at this time but there was no
contraindication to surgery.

The sinotubular junction of the ascending aorta is preserved.
The ascending aorta is moderately dilated. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. There
are simple atheroma in the aortic arch and n the descending
thoracic aorta. There is no pericardial effusion. POST-BYPASS:
Preserved [**Hospital1 **]-ventricular systolic function. A well seated
mechanical prosthetic valve is seen in the aortic position.
Trivial aortic regurgitation. No perivalvular leak. Mean trans
aortic valvular gradient is 8 mm Hg. A tubegraft is seen in the
ascending aorta position with a diameter of 2.6 cm. Thoracic
aortic contour is preserved. Trace TR and MR.
CXR [**3-23**]: Interval decrease in pulmonary edema and vascular
congestion, as well as cardiac size. Interval improvement in

Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 12143**] was admitted and underwent aortic valve
replacement with replacement of her ascending aorta. For
surgical details, please see separate dictated operative note.
Following the operation, she was brought to the CSRU for
invasive monitoring. Within 24 hours, she awoke neurologically
intact and was extubated without incident. She maintained stable
hemodynamics and weaned from intravenous therapy without
difficulty. Her CSRU course was uneventful and she transferred
to the SDU on postoperative day one. On postoperative day two,
chest tubes and epicardial wires were removed without
complication. Warfarin anticoagulation was initiated.
Prothrombin times were monitored daily and Warfarin was dosed
for a goal INR between 2.0 - 3.0. Over several days, she
continued to make clinical improvements with diuresis. On
post-op day five she was treated for some atrial fibrillation
and converted back to sinus rhythm. Heparin was restarted until
INR was increased while receiving Coumadin. Over next couple of
days her INR trended upward over 2. She appeared to be doing
well and worked with physical therapy for strength and mobility.
On post-operative day nine she was discharged home with VNA
services and the appropriate follow-up appointments. Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 2472**]
will be following her INR and adjusting her Coumadin as needed.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 76 year-old
female with a history of aortic stenosis, coronary artery
disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension.
She was seen in the Emergency Room on [**4-11**] with bronchitis
and treated with Azithromycin. She saw her primary care
physician [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**4-13**] who treated her with meter dose inhalers
and cough syrup for shortness of breath and wheezing. The
patient is now here with a two to three day history of chest
tightness, increased shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, no
history of GI bleeding and no fevers or chills. The patient
is otherwise in her usual state of health until one week ago.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Congestive heart failure.
2. Coronary artery disease.
3. Diabetes type 2.
4. Remote history of stroke.
5. Hypertension.
6. Gangrenous left first toe.
7. Left SFA.
HOME MEDICATIONS:
1. Lopressor 25 b.i.d.
2. Lipitor 10 mg q.p.m.
3. Lasix 40 mg q.a.m.
4. Relafen 750 mg b.i.d.
5. Ecotrin 325 mg po q.d.
6. K-Dur 20 milliequivalents q.a.m.
7. Colace 100 mg b.i.d.
8. NPH 22 units q.a.m., 15 units q 8 p.m.
SOCIAL HISTORY: No history of tobacco or alcohol.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Pulse 85. Blood pressure 95/69.
Respiratory rate 24. 96% oxygen saturation on 4 liters.
General, the patient is an elderly female in no acute
distress. Neck JVP 10 cm. HEENT mucous membranes are moist.
Extraocular movements intact. Left eye lateral abduction.
Cardiac sounds obscured by increased rhonchi. Pulmonary
diffuse rhonchi and wheezing. Abdomen positive bowel sounds,
soft. Extremities bilateral lower extremity 1+ pitting
edema, 1+ bilateral dorsalis pedis pulses.
LABORATORY: The patient was hyponatremic with a sodium of
127 and acute elevation of her creatinine to 1.2 from .7.
Chest x-ray showed bibasilar opacities bilaterally.
Pulmonary edema infiltrate, versus atelectasis.
Electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in V1 through V3.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to [**Hospital1 346**] on [**2163-4-15**] and initially treated
medically by the Medicine Service. She was started on
Levaquin for pneumonia. She was started on aspirin, heparin
drip, beta blocker for her myocardial infarction. The
patient also received Lasix for her acute congestive heart
failure exacerbation. Cardiology was involved in the
patient's care. An echocardiogram was performed, which
showed an ejection fraction of less then 20%. Cardiac
catheterization was also performed showing mitral
regurgitation, left ventricular ejection fraction of 25%,
global hypokinesis, 1+ mitral regurgitation, right dominant
coronary angiography LMCA calcified plaque 40% proximally,
left anterior descending coronary artery diffuse 70% long
proximal calcified, Dig okay, left circumflex moderate distal
right coronary artery 70%, osteal 95% mid lesion. The
patient was taken to the Operating Room on [**2163-4-21**] where a
coronary artery bypass graft times four and aortic valve
replacement was performed. The patient was left with a chest
tube and pacing wires in place. She required immediately
postoperatively epinephrine and Propofol drips.
The first postoperative day she was noted overnight to have
ventricular ectopy for which she received Amiodarone. The
patient received Vancomycin times four perioperatively for
prophylaxis. She was started on beta blockers and Lasix at
the appropriate time. At the appropriate time the patient's
pacing wires and chest tubes were removed. She was stopped
from her various drips when appropriate. The patient was
also shown to have a wide complex tachycardia at times per
cardiologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. The patient was sent out of the
Intensive Care Unit when appropriate on Lasix, Captopril and
Lopressor as well as Amiodarone. Due to the patient's age
and stability it was determined by her cardiologist that
Coumadin probably would not be an appropriate course of
therapy due to significant risks. Once the patient was on
the floor when of her major issues was blood pressure control
for which her blood pressure medications were progressively
increased. Physical therapy saw the patient on repeated
occasions and believed the patient would do well at a rehab
facility. It is now [**2163-4-29**] and the patient is in stable
condition. It is likely that she will be discharged today or
tomorrow for rehab. The patient may shower, but should not
take baths. The patient is to avoid strenuous activity. The
patient should not drive while on pain medication. She is to
follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1537**] in four weeks. She is to follow up
with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 449**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 11139**] in one to two weeks and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in two
to three weeks. She will be discharged on Lopressor 50 mg po

AP ERECT PORTABLE RADIOGRAPH OF THE CHEST (on admission): A PICC
is seen with the tip in the superior vena cava. Interval
development of interstitial pulmonary edema. There is discoid
atelectasis at the right lung base. No pleural effusions are
apparent. The heart size is within normal limits. IMPRESSION:
Interval development of pulmonary edema. Discoid atelectasis at
the right lung base.
.
CHEST CT to R/O PE:
IMPRESSION:
1. Bilateral patchy opacities represent asymmetric pulmonary
edema versus
multifocal pneumonia. Clinical correlation recommended. No
evidence for PE.
2. Bibasilar atelectasis and very small bilateral pleural
effusions.
.
EKG on admission:
Sinus rhythm, Probable old anteroseptal infarct. Since previous
tracing, no significant change
Brief Hospital Course:
59F with osteomyelitis, s/p ant-inf MI s/p stent to pLAD, CHF
with EF 20-25%, was admitted intially to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] with CHF
exacerbation and then called out from [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] [**6-25**] to [**Hospital1 **] service
for further work-up and treatment.
.
# CHF exacerbation: Patient was hypoxic on admission with
pulmonary edema on CXR, so was intubated and diuresed in ICU;
given her known EF = 20-25%, CHF was the most likely cause of
her dyspnea. No apparent cause for the acute exacerbation could
be identified; patient denies any dietary indiscretion, cardiac
enzymes were negative and EKG was unchanged from prior. PE was
also considered as a cause of her dyspnea, and given an elevated
D dimer, CTA of the chest was performed which did not identify
any PE. After 24 hours of ventilatory support and aggressive
diuresis, she was able to be extubated and transferred to the
[**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 3 telemetry [**Hospital1 **].
.
At the time of transfer to the [**Hospital1 **], patient appeared clinically
normovolemic. She was gently diuresed to slightly below her home
dry weight of 95lbs. She was started on metoprolol and
lisinopril was added once her creatinine had stabilized.
.
# Hct drop: From 28-21 with no evidence of active bleeding -
guiac negative. Patient received 2 units of PRBC in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] prior
to transfer with appropriate response, Hct stable thereafter.
Heme consult reviewed peripheral smear with no concerning
findings. Does not appear to be a consumptive process--no signs
of hemolysis on lab work. Iron studies c/w anemia of
inflammation. Acute change in Hct during acute pulmonary edema
appears to have resulted from fluid volume shifts.
.
# WBC drop: 9.1 to 2.3 on [**6-26**], gradually increased to 4.8 on
[**6-29**] without intervention. Unclear etiology; lymphocyte
predominant with a monocytosis suggestive of toxin-mediated bone
marrow suppression. Heme consult suspects drug reaction,
possibly levafloxacin, which was given in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] and has been
reported to cause agranulocytosis. HIV infection can also cause
leukopenia, although patient denies high-risk behaviors such as
unprotected sex with anyone other than husband or IVDA, she
consented to be tested for HIV and test results pending.
.
# Short runs of WCT, asymptomatic: EP consulted and felt that
emergent ICD placement was not indicated given current
comorbidities. Had a negative V-Stim at [**Hospital1 112**] [**2145-12-17**] with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] (EF 20-25% at that time). Pt. wants to avoid ICD if
possible. Continued beta blocker therapy should decrease the
incidence of the NSVT/WCT.
.
# Anxiety/depression: Patient says she has had a psychiatrist
for many years and used to take valium with good effect. Her new
doctor, Dr [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 47716**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] [**Telephone/Fax (1) 108658**], stopped benzos b/c she had
a history of abusing the valium and started prozac plus
neurontin. [**6-27**] patient expressed SI and was seen by in-house
psychiatry consult, who felt patient was not at risk to self and
did not need 1:1 sitter but recommended treating her significant
anxiety with resperidone and uptitrating neurontin. However,
patient had symptomatic hypotension after first dose risperidone
1mg, but patient said she slept well and felt much better the
morning after the risperidone, so restarted risperidone at
0.25mg hs prn. Continued home dose of fluoxetine 60 mg po and
gabapentin 300mg tid as recommended per psych. Patient will see
Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] to adjust outpatient anti-anxiety and anti-depressant
regimen next week.
.
# Substance abuse: Pt admits to smoking marijuana daily and has
history of abusing diazepam. Social work consulted to discuss
coping mechanisms with patient. They recommended, as did
psychiatry consult, that patient go to day treatment center such
as [**Doctor First Name 1191**] Day Center for ongoing substance, which psychiatry
recommended is best arranged through her outpatient psychiatrist
for continuity.
.
# Osteomyelitis - Receiving cefazolin via home pump. Per
podiatry notes, still needs 3 more weeks, so D/C'd with
prescription to continue through [**7-19**] to completely treat
osteomyelitis of L great toe. Pt has home IV nursing who
maintains PICC line and helps her with Abx infusions; will
contact the agency before discharge to reinitiate their
services.
.
# Hyponatremia - serum osms low, so hypoosmolar, hypervolemic
hyponatremia upon presentation to ER, likely CHF as etiology.
Resolved steadily with diuresis and sodium normal at 133 on the
morning of discharge.

Admission Date: [**2177-2-25**] Discharge Date: [**2177-2-28**]
Date of Birth: [**2117-9-30**] Sex: M
Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 59-year-old gentleman
who has a history of multiple myocardial infarctions in the
past including an inferior myocardial infarction in [**2171**] and
a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction in [**2176-11-19**] who is
admitted from [**Hospital6 33**] with an unstable anginal
syndrome, a positive troponin, and negative creatine kinases.
The patient had been having several days of worsening
exertional chest pain associated with some shortness of
breath, diaphoresis; his typical anginal symptoms which led
him to present to the outside hospital, at which time his
studies became concerning for an acute coronary syndrome. He
was started on Lopressor, Plavix, aspirin, Integrilin, and
nitroglycerin and transferred to [**Hospital1 190**] for further care.
The patient's most recent cardiac catheterization prior to
this admission revealed the following: an ejection fraction
of 38%, a normal left main, a 60% tubular middle left
anterior descending artery with a totally occluded first
diagonal, faint left-to-left collaterals, a distal left
anterior descending artery of 90%, a small ramus with a
proximal 70%, circumflex system with a 90% first obtuse
marginal inferior lesion, and a 70% superior pole lesion, a
diffusely diseased third obtuse marginal. The right coronary
artery had mild diffuse disease with a moderate in-stent
restenosis on previously placed posterior descending artery
stent; unchanged from [**2175-8-20**] catheterization, and a
posterior left ventricle that was totally occluded and filled
by right-to-right collaterals. Left ventricular
end-diastolic pressure was 20 mm; and at that time the
patient had stent to the first obtuse marginal with
additional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of
the upper pole of the first obtuse marginal. The proximal to
middle left anterior descending artery lesion underwent
successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and
stenting, and the distal left anterior descending artery was
treated with a stent also. The first diagonal which had an
in-stent restenosis could not be treated at that time.
The patient was directly admitted to the catheterization
laboratory at [**Hospital6 33**], at which time he
underwent a limited study notable for in-stent restenosis of
the proximal left anterior descending artery stent placed in
[**2175-8-20**] and a 90% distal left anterior descending
artery occlusion, and a distal left anterior descending
artery that was subtotally occluded immediately proximal to a
prior distal left anterior descending artery stent. The
proximal left anterior descending artery 80% in-stent
restenosis underwent successful brachy therapy, and a stent
was placed in the distal left anterior descending artery
proximal to a prior stent to treat a restenosis. The
procedure was complicated by hypotension in to the 70s with
bradycardia into the 40s, in a sinus rhythm.
An echocardiogram done on the catheterization table revealed
no evidence of tamponade. It was felt that the patient was
having an severe vagal reaction. He was started on dopamine
which was eventually increased to 10 mcg/kg per minute, and
the Coronary Care Unit team was then asked to evaluate and
observe the patient overnight while peripheral anatropes were
weaned.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease; status post inferior myocardial
infarction in [**2171**], status post non-Q-wave myocardial
infarction in [**2176-11-19**]. Most recent intervention in
[**2176-11-19**].
2. Hypercholesterolemia.
3. Hypertension.
4. Cluster headaches.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d.,
Cardizem 240 mg p.o. q.d., Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d.,
Paxil 10 mg p.o. q.d., multivitamin.
ALLERGIES: BETA BLOCKER apparently causing bronchospasm.
FAMILY HISTORY: Family history notable for coronary artery
disease and diabetes in multiple family members.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is a divorced high school
teacher with six children. He does not smoke. There is no
illicit drug use such as cocaine.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Admission physical
examination with vital signs revealing afebrile, blood
pressure of 100/60, pulse of 80s on 10 mcg/kg per minute of
dopamine, respiratory rate of 12, oxygen saturation of 98% on
room air. In general, alert and oriented times three.
Cranial nerves II through XII were intact. Head, eyes, ears,
nose, and throat revealed pupils were equal, round, and
reactive to light. Extraocular movements were intact.
Sclerae were anicteric. The oropharynx was clear. Neck was
supple, no lymphadenopathy, no jugular venous distention.
Chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. Cardiovascular
revealed a regular rhythm with a normal rate. No murmurs,
rubs or gallops. Abdomen was soft, nontender, and
nondistended, normal active bowel sounds. Extremities
revealed soaked dressing, no femoral bruits. No firmness or
ecchymosis consistent with a hematoma, preserved distal
pulses.
PERTINENT LABORATORY DATA ON PRESENTATION: Admission
laboratories from the outside hospital revealed troponin
of 0.29, creatine kinases were flat. First creatine kinase
at [**Hospital1 69**] was 94.
RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: CT of the abdomen, pelvis, and leg
revealed a 1.5-cm X 1.5-cm hematoma with surrounding fat
stranding. No evidence of an acute hemorrhage or continued
extravasation of fluid.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the Coronary
Care Unit for management of hypotension, for which the short
differential included active blood loss which was effectively
ruled out by the CT study and a vagal response necessitating
inotropic support.
Over the course of the first evening in the Coronary Care
Unit the patient became progressively anxious and reported
difficulty urinating, and eventually was given 1 mg of
Ativan. After the dose of Ativan, the patient's dopamine
requirement decreased from 9 mcg/kg per minute to 2 mcg/kg
per minute over the course of an hour and a half.
The following morning, dopamine was discontinued. The
patient had excellent blood pressures, and the groin appeared
stable. The patient's hematocrit was also stable, and
subsequent creatine kinases remained flat. Electrocardiogram
showed no evolving changes.
The patient did suffer nonsustained ventricular tachycardia
while in house.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease; status post left
anterior descending artery intervention times two on current
admission.
2. Hypertension.
3. Exuberant vagal response.
4. Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in the setting of
unstable angina.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d.
2. Cardizem 240 mg p.o. q.d.
3. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d.
4. Paxil 10 mg p.o. q.d.
5. Multivitamin.
6. Plavix 75 mg p.o. q.d. (indefinitely).
7. Folate 1 mg p.o. q.d.
DISCHARGE FOLLOWUP: The patient was to follow up for an
electrophysiology study as an outpatient on [**2177-3-6**].
Otherwise, the patient was to follow up with his
cardiologist, Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **], for further followup.

weeks, his mental status diminished to the point where he could
not make medical decisions, so his proxy (son) served as a
surrogate decision-maker. At this time, he is able to weigh
benefits of risks of treatment, and in general is very accepting
to continued medical treatment. He has capacity to medical
decisions regarding his care. His current CODE status is
DNR/DNI
PLAN:
reverse DNR/DNI status to FULL CODE
approach pt re: medical decisions during this hospitalization
make clear to son that his role as proxy is to represent
patient's wishes if pt. were able to convey them
Cytology on Cystoscopy ([**6-10**]):
ATYPICAL.
Atypical urothelial cells, present singly and in clusters.
Squamous cells, anucleate squames, histiocytes, neutrophils
and red blood cells.
EGD: [**2135-6-3**]:
Diffuse erosive esophagitis with active oozing of blood noted
throughout the entire esophagus
ECHO (TTE) [**5-30**]:
Conclusions:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2. The left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. There is
severe global left
ventricular hypokinesis. Overall left ventricular systolic
function is
severely depressed.
3. The right ventricular cavity is dilated. Right ventricular
systolic
function appears depressed.
4. The aortic root is moderately dilated. The ascending aorta is
moderately
dilated.
5. A bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The aortic
prosthesis
leaflets appear to move normally. The transaortic gradient is
normal for this
prosthesis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen.
6. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+)
mitral
regurgitation is seen.
EGD ([**5-28**])
A single non-bleeding erosion was noted in the antrum, near
the gastrostomy site.
RUQ U/S ([**5-28**])
IMPRESSION: Normal right upper quadrant ultrasound without
evidence for intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal
dilatation or cholecystitis
CT of Cspine [**2135-5-19**]
IMPRESSION:
1) Fracture of C2, with posteriorly displaced odontoid fracture
fragments causing spinal canal narrowing and cord compression at
C1/2.
2) Anterior subluxation of C3 on C4, a finding that, in the
setting of trauma, could indicate disruption of the joint
capsule at the facet joints, and may be indicative of
ligamentous instability.
3) No other fractures identified within the cervical spine.
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt is a 72 yo man with a significant PMH of Afib, LVF with
pacer/defibrillator, Aortic Mechanical valve requiring
anticoagulation, Rheumatic Heart Disease, MR, AI, DM, Emphysema,
Gout, and Depression who presented to an OS s/p fall where he
was found to have an unstable dens fracture. The patient was
taken to the OR where a Halo was placed, tracheostomy was
performed and open GJ tube was placed. The patient, did well
post procedure but developed coffee ground emesis as
anticoagulation was restarted, an EGD was performed finding a
single non-bleeding 2cm, clean based ulcer in the
gastroesophageal junction, a RUQ US was also performed which was
normal, the patients Hcts remained stable. Subsequently, the
patient developed leakage of gastric contents around the GJ tube
and increased G tube output around the GJ site. The patient
also developed some hematuria and Heme positive gastric
secretions at this time. The Patients Hematocrits continued to
drop so much so that Transfusions were required. At this point
the decision was made to perform a follow up EGD which showed
diffuse erosive esophagitis with active oozing of blood noted
throughout the entire esophagus. This occurred despite
antiulcer regimens, Heparin was stopped and the patient was
brought back to the OR for repositioning of the GJ tube. After
this procedure, gastric secretions around the GJ Tube decreased
significantly, and the Pts Hct stabilized, the patient was
restarted on Heparin, but hematuria persisted, Urology consult
was obtained who did cystoscopy and found only an irritated
portion of the bladder that was most likely from foley trauma.
Bladder irrigation was performed and the patient's urine
cleared, anticoagulation was restarted, and the patient's
hematocrits remained stable. The patient did have continued
episodes of hematuria, but hematocrits remained stable and
events always subsided and were often after foley manipulation.
In addition, during the course of his stay, the patient had
episodes of Confusion and agitation which mostly occurred in the
ICU and step down units. Once moved to the floor, the patient
cleared considerably and Psych consult deemed the patient to
have decision making capacity. Through out the patients stay,
his Afib was rate controlled.

Conclusions
PRE BYPASS The left atrium is moderately dilated. No spontaneous
echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left
atrium/left atrial appendage or the body of the right
atrium/right atrial appendage. Left ventricular wall thickness,
cavity size, and global systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%).
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
There are simple atheroma in the ascending aorta. There are
simple atheroma in the aortic arch. There are complex (>4mm)
atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 914**] was notified in person of the results in the operating
room at the time of the study.
POST BYPASS The patient is being a paced. There is normal
biventricular systolic function. The left atrial appendage has
been resected. There is mild to moderate tricuspid
regurgitation. Other valvular function is unchanged from the
pre-bypass study. The thoracic aorta is intact s/p
decannulation.
I certify that I was present for this procedure in compliance
with HCFA regulations.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 30620**] was admitted on [**12-16**] from an outside hospital and
his pre-op work-up was done. Over the next several days he was
diuresed and had thoracentesis by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] for a pleural
effusion. He also had a plavix washout. Antibiotics also were
started as well as BP med titration. He underwent coronary
artery bypass, MAZE, and left atrial appendage ligation with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 914**] on [**12-24**] and was transferred to the CVICU in stable
condition on phenylephrine and propofol drips. He extubated
later that day and remained in the CVICU over the next few days
for aggressive pulmonary conditioning. His atrial fibrillation
returned and he was treated with amiodarone. A renal consult was
requested for acute renal failure with highest creat 3.8. He
also had an ileus but was ultimately transferred to the floor on
POD #6 to begin increasing his activity level. His beta blockade
was titrated. Coumadin was not started for atrial fibrillation
per Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**] [**Name (STitle) 88067**] to fall risk. By post-operative day
nince he was ready for discharge to rehab per Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 914**]. All
follow-up appointments were advised.

Service: ONCOLOGY
CHIEF COMPLAINT:
Worsening dyspnea.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old
woman with metastatic breast cancer, diagnosed in [**2161-11-13**], presenting to [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 3867**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) **] on
[**2161-12-12**] for shortness of breath times several
weeks, worsening over the last few days. She does have two
pillow orthopnea but negative paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea,
no chest pain or palpitations. She has noted increasing
lower extremity edema over the last week. She has cough
which is productive of white sputum but no night sweats or
weight loss. She denies fever, chills, nausea or vomiting.
She has been using inhalers but does not feel that they have
been effective with regard to her dyspnea. She is not on any
oxygen at home.
The patient's previous workup for shortness of breath has
included a CT angiogram on [**2161-12-2**] which was
negative for pulmonary embolism but notable for bilateral
ground-glass opacities. A transthoracic echocardiogram
showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of greater than
70% with mild aortic and mitral regurgitation. She has
moderate pericardial effusion as noted by the transthoracic
echocardiogram.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Pernicious anemia.
2. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
3. Depression.
4. Bilateral total knee replacements.
5. Pelvic mass found in the left adnexal region measuring
6 x 4 cm, which is likely metastatic versus primary ovarian
in origin.
6. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma, ER positive, HR2/neu
negative with omental metastases, retroperitoneal lymph
nodes. MRI of the head revealed no metastatic disease,
however, bone scan indicated thoracic metastases.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives alone on the third story
of an apartment building and is independent. Her daughter
and son-in-law live nearby and are very supportive.
FAMILY HISTORY: Family history is significant for coronary
artery disease in the patient's father, however, no family
history of cancer.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.

p.o.q.d.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination on admission,
the patient had a temperature of 97, blood pressure 162/82,
heart rate 88, respiratory rate 28, and oxygen saturation 98%
on three liters nasal cannula. General: Patient in no acute
distress, resting comfortably in bed, appears younger than
her stated age. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat:
Oropharynx clear, moist mucous membranes, jugular venous
pulsation not elevated, neck supple, anicteric sclerae,
extraocular movements intact, no lymphadenopathy present in
the cervical region. Chest: Bilateral basilar crackles
without wheezing, left axillary lymphadenopathy.
Cardiovascular: Regular rate, normal S1 and S2, no S3 or S4,
II/VI murmur at left sternal border. Abdomen: Soft,
nontender, nondistended, positive bowel sounds, no
hepatosplenomegaly. Extremities: 2+ bilateral pitting
edema, no cyanosis or clubbing, 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses
bilaterally, skin warm and dry. Neurologic examination:
Alert and oriented times three, cranial nerves II through XII
intact, [**5-17**] motor strength in bilateral upper and lower
extremities.
LABORATORY DATA: Admission white blood cell count 6.1,
hematocrit 32.2, platelet count 263,000, sodium 137,
potassium 4.1, chloride 106, bicarbonate 18, BUN 34,
creatinine 1.3, glucose 109.
STUDIES DURING HOSPITALIZATION:
1. Chest x-ray, [**2161-12-12**] revealed bilateral
interstitial infiltrates, bilateral pleural effusions, mild
congestive heart failure.
2. Transthoracic echocardiogram, [**2161-12-16**] showed
mild left ventricular hypertrophy, hyperdynamic left
ventricular function with a moderate pericardial effusion, no
change from echocardiogram on [**2161-12-8**].
3. Transthoracic echocardiogram, [**2162-1-4**] showed
left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 55% with
loculated moderate sized 1.5 cm pericardial effusion with
fibrin deposits on the surface of the heart; no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade; compared with prior
echocardiogram, the pericardial effusion appears loculated at
this point.
4. Electrocardiogram on admission showed normal sinus
rhythm, Q waves in III and AVF which were old and T wave
abnormalities in V2 through V6 which were nonspecific.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old female with
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, breast cancer and
anemia, who presents with acute worsening of chronic
shortness of breath.
1. Cardiovascular: The patient was initially thought to be
in congestive heart failure and was aggressive diuresed until
her creatinine bumped. She was ruled out for a myocardial
infarction by negative cardiac enzymes on numerous occasions
during her hospitalization. Serial echocardiograms were
performed times four, which showed moderate sized pericardial
effusion without signs of tamponade but evidence of diastolic
dysfunction.
As the patient's dyspnea did not improve, there was concern
that the effusion was compromising cardiac output and her
ability to mobilize fluid. Therefore, a pericardial window
was placed on [**2162-1-1**] with greater than 200 cc of
bloody fluid out, and the drain was left in until [**2162-1-5**]. There was no improvement in the patient's dyspnea
after the window was placed and the pericardial drainage tube
was pulled.
As the pericardial fluid was bloody, there was concern for a
malignant effusion, however, cytology revealed no malignant
cells. It was significant for reactive mesothelial cells,
red blood cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils.
The patient also had occasional episodes of ectopy, both
atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia, which
was thought to be related to the pericardial window and
drain, with resulting irritation. She was started on
metoprolol 25 mg twice a day for both rhythm abnormalities
and for improvement of congestive heart failure.
2. Pulmonary: The patient's main complaint on admission was
acute worsening of chronic dyspnea over the last month. Upon
medical record review, it appears that the patient has had
complaints of dyspnea since [**2161-7-13**] and, during her
previous admission at the beginning of [**Month (only) **], she was
noted to have oxygen saturation of 91% in room air.
The cardiologic etiologies of the dyspnea was extensively
investigated but, as she had no improvement with diuresis,
pericardial window and multiple rule outs for myocardial
infarction, it was felt that there was a pulmonary etiology
as the most likely explanation for her dyspnea.
Given the patient's history of chronic metastatic breast
cancer, lymphatic spread of the cancer was thought to be the
source of her dyspnea. A thoracentesis was performed on
[**2161-12-30**] and 600 cc of yellow straw colored fluid
was removed. The fluid was later found to be positive for
malignant cells, consistent with adenocarcinoma.
The patient was ruled for pulmonary embolism just prior to
admission. Although she was not on oxygen at home, she had a
consistent three to four liter nasal cannula oxygen
requirement throughout the hospitalization.
The patient was transferred to the Medical Intensive Care
Unit following pericardial window placement and consideration
for Swan-Ganz catheter was undertaken, however, the patient
and family opted to pursue a less aggressive treatment
course. The Swan-Ganz was not placed and her volume status,
instead, was estimated per clinical examination and
radiograph evidence that was available.
3. Renal: On admission, the patient's creatinine was 1.3
and bumped to as high as 2.1 with diuresis. With fluid
hydration after the pericardial window was placed, the
creatinine trended down and is currently at 1.6 at the time
of discharge.
4. Infectious disease: The patient was treated with a ten
day course of antibiotics for presumed pneumonia, which did
not improve her pulmonary status.
5. Hematology: The patient has a baseline pernicious anemia
and received B12 injection on admission. She is to continue
these injections monthly.
6. Gastrointestinal: The patient is chronically constipated
but had worsening of her constipation throughout her
hospitalization. Her abdomen became progressively more
distended and tender during the end of her hospital course
while she was in the MICU. Liver function tests were
performed and found to be normal on several occasions. An
abdominal x-ray showed a distended large bowel, however, she
was eventually able to move her bowels two to three days
prior to discharge. Her abdominal exam did not significantly
improve after the bowel movements and, given her elevated
lactate, there was concern for bowel wall ischemia, ileus or
obstruction from her previous known large pelvic mass. The
option of a CT abdomen was discussed with the patient and
family, who both agreed not to perform the study given the
risks of worsening renal function from contrast load and
their wish not to pursue surgical intervention. The etiology
of her abdominal pain was most likely functional constipation
and she was continued on an aggressive bowel regimen with per
rectum medication and enemas as needed.
7. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: Throughout her
hospitalization, the patient had a minimal appetite secondary
to cancer anorexia and had a few episodes of nausea and
emesis. Her emesis was thought secondary to functional
constipation. She was able to tolerate fluids and pureed
food on occasion and was able to take most of her oral
medications. During a family meeting, a nasogastric tube was
discussed with the possibility of starting tube feeds. The
family, however, did not think this was consistent with the
patient's wishes and, therefore, no nasogastric tube was
placed. Likewise, the option of a percutaneous endoscopic
gastrostomy tube was also felt by the family not to be
consistent with the patient's wishes.
8. Oncology: On admission, the patient had a known
diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, which was recently
diagnosed in [**2161-11-13**]. Her outpatient oncologist, Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) **], did not feel chemotherapy was indicated at the time of
diagnosis. She was instead started on Femara given that the
tumor was estrogen receptor positive.
9. Code status: A family meeting was held on [**2162-1-4**] and, after a long discussion of the progression of the
patient's disease and lack of response to medical management,
it was decided by both the patient and her family that she
would be "Do Not Resuscitate", "Do Not Intubate" and not to
pursue aggressive medical treatment at this point. Her
medications were simplified and she was prepared for
transition to a skilled nursing facility with the possibility
of hospice care in the near future. At this time, she was
not "Comfort Measures Only", however, future medical decision
making would be contingent upon optimizing the quality of
life.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Metastatic breast cancer, bone, retroperitoneal lymph
nodes and omentum.

Service:
NOTE: This is an interim summary covering the date of birth
([**2162-5-14**]) through [**2162-5-21**].
ADMISSION DIAGNOSES:
1. Premature male infant at 34-3/7 weeks gestation.
2. Hyperbilirubinemia.
3. Desaturations; some with apnea of prematurity and some
without.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The infant is a former 2.24-kg
male infant born to a 24-year-old O positive hepatitis B
surface antigen female.
Past obstetrical/gynecologic history was notable for a double
uterus and cervix. The pregnancy was uncomplicated until
premature rupture of membranes, and the infant was noted to
be in the breech presentation, so a cesarean section was
performed three hours status post rupture. The infant was
born with Apgar scores were 8 at one minute and 8 at five
minutes and was transferred to the Newborn Intensive Care
Unit for further evaluation and management of prematurity.
On admission, the baby weighed 2.24 kilograms, length 144 cm,
head circumference was 30.5 cm; all appropriate for
gestational age.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
was essentially within normal limits.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM:
1. RESPIRATORY ISSUES: The infant remained on room air
throughout his hospital course; however, he did have multiple
desaturations, some accompanied with apnea and bradycardia
and others not. On [**5-21**], he had 2 full 24-hour periods of
having no episodes.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: There were no cardiovascular
issues.
3. INFECTIOUS DISEASE ISSUES: The infant had a benign
complete blood count, and no antibiotics were initiated.
Because of the mother's hepatitis B surface antigen positive
status, the infant received hepatitis B immune globulin and
hepatitis B immune vaccine on [**5-14**].
4. FEEDING AND NUTRITION ISSUES: On day of life seven, the
infant weighed 2.140 kilograms and was being fed Enfamil 20
calories per ounce at 150 cc/kg. He required more than half
of this by gavage feeding.
5. HEMATOLOGIC ISSUES: The infant had a bilirubin of 11.6
which peaked at 13.8, for which he underwent several days of
phototherapy.Phototherapy d'c d on [**5-21**] with rebound bili
pending on [**5-22**].
6. HEARING SCREEN: Hearing screen was performed on [**5-16**]
and was normal.
7. DISPOSITION ISSUES: Upon discharge from the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit when he is feeding well and has had five
days free of any major desaturations or apnea or bradycardia,
he will be seen at [**Hospital1 **] Center by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **].

.
The patient's daughter reports that the patient has been sick
for "a while", particularly since he was admitted in [**2119-2-22**].
Since his discharge, he was improving and doing better at home
until three days ago when he started declining rather rapidly.
She reports that he has had shortness of breath, slurred speech
and difficulty walking over the last three days. He has also
been confused and falling asleep in his chair and falling out of
the chair and from his bed. He has been refusing help, but
unable to get up. She also reports that her father has had
decreased grip strength and things have been falling out of his
hands. As a result of his confusion, he has been eating less,
though he has been very thirsty and is drinking a lot of fluids.
There have been no fevers, chills, night sweats, cough, emesis,
diarrhea. She also reports "difficulty with motor planning", as
if he had trouble "putting one foot in front of the other".
Interestingly, his mental status has been waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**].
Although he has been confused, he was able to have a completely

but now dropped down to 1.5 renal service has been following
along. He is cleared by medicine team to be operated on his
subdural hematoma. He had a left lower lobe pneumonia which is
treated with Levo. He had a hypernatremia Na up to 157 on [**4-11**],
eventually corrected with fluid.
.
He underwent right craniotomy on [**2119-4-12**] for evacuation of
subdural hematoma and placement of subdural JP drain placement
under general anesthesia without complications, he was able to
extubated in [**Hospital **] transferred to PACU, however 2 hour later he
required re-intubation secondary to hypoventilation. He is
neurologically moving all extremities, opens his eyes to voice
intermittently, squeezes to command. He placed on a beta-blocker
[**Hospital **] for heart rate control, [**Hospital **] ECG remained unchanged,
underlying rhythm being atrial fibrillation. His postoperative
head CT([**4-12**]) is revealed residual small amount of hemorrhage
mixed with fluid, pneumocephalus and postoperative changes. No
further shift of normally midline structures. Repeat head CT on
[**4-13**] remained stable, therefore his right subdural JP removed,
patient tolerated procedure well.
.
Patient will need drain stitch and staples removed on [**4-21**]. If
cant be done at nursing home will need to see Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 739**].
Switched from dilantin to keppra.
.
2. congestive heart failure -
He was worked up for dyspnea and hypoxemia. Final etiology
was clearly congestive heart failure. He had a repeat Echo
which demonstrated preserved EF and some MR. [**Name13 (STitle) **] was
maintained on a regimen of hydral/nitro, beta blocker,
and cautious diuresis. He was maintained on oxygen by
nasal canula. Patient sent out on lasix.
.
3. Liver failure/coagulopathy -
He had a self limited course of liver failure with associated
coagulopathy. This was felt to be secondary to dilantin
toxicity.
Dilantin was stopped and his liver enzymes ultimately trended
down
toward normal. Alternative explanation could have been acute
hepatic congestion from heart failure.
.
Re: coagulopathy, he was treated with vitamin K, FFP, and
also proplex in acute setting. Thereafter, his INR trended
down and he was given po vitamin K. Heme/onc involved
in his care; agreed with hepatic synthetic dysfunction
as etiology of coagulopathy.
.
4. Acute on chronic renal failure -
Likely pre-renal exacerbation of chronic kidney disease.
Resolving toward baseline.
.
5. Atrial fibrillation
Continued rate control with bblocker. Held warfarin on account
of
coagulopathy and SDH.
.
6. DM
Held oral hypoglycemics; kept RISS. Patient has been having low
blood sugars so sliding scale reduced. Patient will need
frequent blood sugar.

Chief Complaint:
chest pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
[**2190-6-30**] cardiac catheterization with bare metal stent placement
to SVG-LAD/D1 graft
History of Present Illness:
80 year old male with history of CAD s/p CABG (SVG->LAD-D1,
SVG->OM RPLB), a-fib on coumadin, CVA presenting with new onset
chest pain. Pain had been occuring since yesterday morning.
Improved slightly with one SL NTG but was worse this am. He
reports that the pain started when he was having a bowel
movement, no associated SOB, N/V, or diaphoresis. This pain did
not feel like when he had his prior stents or CABG--at those
times he did not have chest pain at all.
In the ED, initial vitals were Temp: 98.6 HR: 90 BP: 144/82
Resp: 18 O(2)Sat: 98 Normal. Labs and imaging significant for
EKG with ST depressions in lateral leads. Cardiology was
consulted and they recommended a heparin gtt and nitro gtt for
ongoing chest pain. However, after about 1 hour, he was still
having chest pain and a posterior lead ECG with 1 mm STE in V5,
and 1/2 mm STE V4. Thus, he was taken to the cath lab.
In the cath lab, he had deployment of a BMS to the SVG-LAD near
the 1st diag. Also administered metoprolol 12.5 mg, aspirin 325
mg, and lisinopril 5 mg.
On arrival to the floor, patient is chest pain free. No
compliants.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS
On review of systems, he denies any prior deep venous
thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery,
myalgias, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. he
denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. he denies exertional
buttock or calf pain. All of the other review of systems were
negative.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain,
dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea,
ankle edema, palpitations, syncope or presyncope.

Brief Hospital Course:
PRINCIPLEREASON FOR ADMISSION
Mr. [**Known lastname **] is an 80 year old male with history of coronary artery
disease (CAD) status post CABG and PCI who presented with chest
pain x 24 hours with EKG showing ST depressions in V3-V4 and
posterior EKG with [**Street Address(2) 4793**] elevations. He underwent stenting
with bare metal stent (BMS) to SVG/LAD-D1 with resolution of his
chest pain.
.
# non-ST elevation Myocardial infarction: His posterior leads
showed ST elevations and he was taken to the cath lab with
successful deployment of bare metal stent (BMS) to SVG/LAD-D1
via access in his right groin. He was monitored in CCU
overnight and has been chest pain free since intervention. He
had a transthoracic echo post-MI which showed apical hypokinesis
in the LAD territory but preserve ejection fraction at 45-50%
and no diastolic dysfunction. He was started on plavix 75 mg
daily and his atorvastatin was increased from 20 mg daily to 80
mg daily. Lastly, his atenolol was converted to metoprolol in
house and the dose was decreased to metoprolol succinate 12.5 mg
daily due to pauses on higher doses. His discharge regimen was:
ASA 325 mg daily, Plavix 75 daily, Metoprolol succinate 12.5 mg
daily, Atorvastatin 80 mg daily, lisinopril 5 mg daily.
# Atrial fibrillation (afib): Patient has afib and is on
warfarin and atenolol at baseline. On admission he was
subtherapeutic at 1.8 so he was bridged with heparin drip while
his warfarin was restarted at home dosing 1 mg daily. On
discharge, his INR was 2.5. He will have INR draw qweekly and
followed by PCP, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) 3357**]. For rate control, his atenolol
was changed to metoprolol. He was having several second pauses
so the dose was down titrated to metoprolol succinate 12.5 mg
daily. Metoprolol was held day prior to discharge due to pauses
and transient hypotension, which was fluid responsive, but was
restarted when he was noted to increase his HR asymptomatically
to 140's with exertion.
# Hypertension: The patient's BP was stable during his admission
although slightly elevated at 150s early in his stay. He did
develop transient asymptomatic hypotension day prior to
admission which was fluid responsive. His goal BP is <140/80.
He was continued on lisinopril 5 mg daily. Metoprolol was dosed
as above. By discharge his blood pressures were well controlled.
CHRONIC ISSUES:
# History of embolic stroke with hemorrhagic conversion: His
afib was managed as above to prevent further strokes. He was
also continued on keppra 500 mg daily for seizure prophylaxis.
He was seen by physical therapy for his left hemiparesis and
contractures and they felt that he was well compensated to go
home.
# Hypothyroid: continued home levothyroxine 75 mcg daily.
# Psoriasis: continued clobetasol and desonide creams.
.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
- Please monitor his INR weekly and adjust the dose of warfarin
as needed
- Please continue to monitor systolic blood pressures

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 the hospital because you had chest pain.
Your EKG showed some changes in the electrical pattern of your
heart, which indicated an impaired blood flow. Thus, you
underwent a procedure called cardiac catheterization to place a
stent in your heart and open up the blood flow. Your stent was
placed in the bypass graft leading to your LAD artery. After
the procedure you did well and your chest pain resolved.
The following changes were made to your medications:
Medications started:
1. Plavix (blood thinner since you have the stent in your
artery)
2. Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) [**2-1**] a 25mg tablet daily
(total 12.5mg)
Medications changed:
1. Atorvastatin- increased from 20mg a day to 80mg a day
Medications stopped:
1. Atenolol (blood pressure medicine similar to metoprolol)
**Continue taking your baby aspirin (81mg) by mouth once a day**
Follow-up needed for:
1. INR - Make sure to have your INR checked the morning of your
doctors [**Name5 (PTitle) 648**] with Dr [**Last Name (STitle) 3357**] next week.
It is also very important that you keep the follow-up
appointments listed below. You should bring your medications to
each [**Last Name (STitle) 648**] so your doctors [**Name5 (PTitle) **] update their records and
adjust the doses as needed.
It was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital!

History of Present Illness:
Please see nightfloat admission note for full details of
admission history. In brief, this is a 62yoM with CAD s/p CABG
[**11/2182**], dCHF, ESRD (on HD [**12/2182**] - [**2-6**]), history of DVT & PE
on Coumadin who presented [**3-6**] with AMS and acute on chronic
kidney injury.
.
Of note, the patient was recently admitted [**Date range (1) 91915**] for melena
from duodenal ulcer from migration of a metal biliary tract
stent that was exchanged for a new stent. His course was
complicated by septic pancreatic stent, micro bowel perforation,
citrobacter bacteremia, as well as hypoxia from volume overload.
He was ultimately discharged to rehab. Two weeks ago, the
patient developed abdominal pain for two weeks and began having
nausea/vomiting on Monday. He was to have the biliary stent
changed [**2183-3-3**] but missed his appointment due to excessive
vomiting.
.
On [**3-5**], the patient went to the bathroom and had an unwitnessed
fall for unclear reasons. The patient reports he slipped and
fell. Since the fall, the patient had altered mental status and
presented to an OSH with a negative CT head and neck. He was
given vancomycin and zosyn at transferred to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED, where
he was 99% NC. Repeat CT head and neck was negative, and
abdominal CT showed no migration of the biliary stent. CXR
showed pulmonary edema but not significantly different from
prior, and trop 0.19, previously 0.26. K was 5.9 without EKG
changes. Cr was 3.9 from 2.5. He remained afebrile. On transfer
to the medicine floor, the patient had HR 101 with 92%3L. He was
delirious and oriented x1 with myoclonic jerks but was
redirectable.
.
The morning of transfer to the MICU, the patient became
tachycardic and became hypoxic. He was transferred to the MICU
for further management.
.
On arrival to the MICU, the patient was breathing comfortably on
4L NC and denied shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, or
other symptoms. However, he was delirious and oriented x1.

Imaging:
Echo: The left atrium is moderately dilated. Left ventricular
wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. There is mild to
moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with
inferior/inferolateral akinesis and lateral hypokinesis. The
remaining segments contract normally (LVEF = 35-40%). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The ascending
aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears structurally
normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. Moderate to severe
(3+) mitral regurgitation is seen, stemming from a posterior
mitral leaflet being tethered to the akinetic inferolateral LV
wall. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Moderate regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction, c/w CAD. Moderate to severe ischemic mitral
regurgitation. At least moderate pulmonary hypertension.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2183-2-12**],
left ventircular cavity has further dilated, LV function has
deteriorated and amount of mitral regurgitation has increased.
The regional distribution of wall motion abnormalities is quite
similar. Findings discussed with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] at 1600 hours on
the day of the study.

[**2183-3-10**] Cardiovascular C.CATH [**2183-3-10**] [**Last Name (LF) **],[**First Name3 (LF) **] M.
Preliminary
1. Limited selective coronary angiography of this right dominant
system
revealed three vessel coronary artery disease. The LMCA had a
50% ostial
lesion and calcified distal 50% lesion. The LAD was heavily
calcified
and diffusely diseased with 80% ostial lesion; there was
competative
flow in the distal LAD indicating patent LIMA. The single
diagonal
arises from the proximal vessel and has 80% ostial lesion. The
Lcx was
severely and diffusely diseased; it had a retroflexed takeoff
with 80%
long segment from the ostium onward followed by ectatic segment,
then
another 60% lesion; the LCx supplies three OM's, the first is
very
proximal originating from the diseased segment and is
substantive
bifurcating with two branches supplying lateral wall.
Collaterals to rca
seen on prior cath are no longer as apparent. The RCA was not
engaged
and known to be chronically occluded from OSH films.
2. Limited resting hemodynamics showed severe systemic
hypertension with
central pressure of 184/91/131 mmHg on nitroglycerin IV gtt.
3. Successful PTCA and stenting of proximal LM into LCx with
2.5x26mm
Integrity bare metal stent, postdilated with 3.5mm Nc Balloon.
STent
placement complicated by spiral dissection in distal Lcx. Final
angiography showed dissection and TIMI 2 flow.
4. Successful PTCA and stenting of LMCA with 4.0x15mm INtegrity
bare
metal stent.
5. Unsuccessful attempt to stent distal spiral dissection as
unable to
deliver stents into LCx.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Severe systemic hypertension.
3. Successful PCI of proximal LCx with BMS, complicated by edge
spiral
dissection.
4. Successful PCI of LMCA with BMS.
5. Unsuccessful attempt to stent dissection.
6. Continue heparin and Reopro.
7. Continue aspirin and plavix.

Finalized
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (LVEF=
20 %) with global hypokinesis and akinesis of the infero-lateral
segments. No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle.
There is no ventricular septal defect. with depressed free wall
contractility. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. There is no aortic
valve stenosis. No 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. Tricuspid
regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. The pulmonary
artery systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no
pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2183-3-10**],
LVEF has decreased.

Brief Hospital Course:
62yoM with CAD s/p CABG [**11/2182**], dCHF, ESRD (on HD [**12/2182**] -
[**2-6**]), history of DVT & PE on Coumadin admitted s/p fall with
worsening respiratory distress in the setting of ARF and new
ischemic MR, who is now s/p stenting to LAD and LCx c/b spiral
dissection of LDx and recurrent MI, and who now has worsening
renal failure requiring initiation of HD.
.
# ISCHEMIC MR/CAD: patient became acutely tachycardic and
hypoxic on the floor, with flash pulmonary edema. He was
monitored in the MICU after this event. The patient's wife
reports she was in the room at the time of the event and the
patient was resting in bed without any triggers for his
tachycardia or dyspnea. He was given diuretics and improved.
Another episode occured several hours later. He had an
echocardiogram that showed ischemic MR affecting the posterior
mitral leaflet and worsening LV function. Cardiology was
consulted and requested transfer to the CCU for further
intervention. Patient was electively intubated in preparation
for possible cardiac cath. Prior CABG records from [**Hospital1 2177**] revealed
that pt has completely occluded RCA and significant disease of
collaterals perfusing the posterior wall. It was decided to
perform cardiac cath to determine whether pt having intermittent
occlusion of coronary artery (e.g. RCA) causing posterior
leaflet dysfunction and posterior wall dysfunction. Prior to
cath, MR [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 91916**] managed with afterload reduction and goal
CVP~8. On [**3-10**] pt had viability study and then underwent cardiac
cath, with stents placed to LMCA and LCx. Procedure c/b spiral
dissection inside the LCx stent. Several balloon angioplasties
were performed at dissection site without success, but as
interim angiography showed reasonable flow in dissected LCx
attempts were aborted and it was decided not to repeat cath as
risks outweigh benefits. MB peaked to 49 and troponin to 0.77
after the dissection. After this, pt went into acute pulmonary
edema several more times (see below), in the setting of becoming
progressively more oliguric and volume overloaded. Repeat TTE
showed [**Month/Year (2) 28495**] EF to 20% and basilar hypokinesis. Pulmonary
edema improved greatly once pt started CVVH with significant
fluid ultrafiltration. Mitral valve replacement was considered,
but per patient and family preference this was ultimately not
pursued. Given EF 20% and basilar hypokinesis, patient was
anticoagulated with heparin gtt (goal PTT 60-80) to decrease
risk of apical thrombus. He also received Plavix 75mg PO daily,
ASA 81mg PO daily, atorvastatin 80mg PO daily and metoprolol
12.5mg PO BID. Hydralazine and isosorbide mononitrate were also
started for afterload reduction (pt was also intermittently on
nitro gtt and esmolol gtt for refractory HTN before starting
CVVH). Lisinopril was initiated on [**3-18**] after CVVH was
initiated.
.
#.ACUTE ON CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE: patient has h/o stage IV CKD
and required HD during prior hospitalization, at the end of
which Cr was 2.9. On admission Cr had risen to 3.9, and pt was
acutely hyperkalemic with anion gap acidosis. Etiology of
worsening renal failure most likely poor forward flow [**2-27**] new
severe ischemic MR [**First Name (Titles) 39849**] [**Last Name (Titles) 28495**] cardiac output. Patient also
had peripheral eosinophilia on admission, making AIN or
cholesterol embolus as possible etiology. Renal U/S showed good
flow to both kidneys with no e/o thrombolembolic events. Patient
was making urine up to the point of cardiac catheterization.
Despite pre- and post-hydration with HCO3, and Lasix during
cath, his creatinine rose significantly in the 48 hours
following cath and he became severely oliguric. He had several
episodes of flash pulmonary edema at this time with suboptimal
response to Lasix, morphine, nitrates and afterload reduction.
Due to these changes he required initiation of CVVH on [**3-12**],
with large ultrafiltrate removal daily and temporary line was
placed by Interventional Radiology. His volume status
subsequently improved greatly, with improved BPs and resolution
of pulmonary edema on CXR. As patient had now progressed to
stage V CKD, decision was made to initiate hemodialysis.
Tunnelled line was placed on [**2183-3-18**].
.
# Leukocytosis likely secondary to c diff colitis: - initial DDx
included infectious versus reactive versus allergic given
eosinophilia. No new medications, but initially considered
allergic interstitial nephritis in context ARF, eosinophilia and
urinary eosinophils. Initially, Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] was treated for VAP
starting [**3-15**] with Vanc/Zosyn/levaquin. C diff stool assay was
positive, and PO vancomycin was started. After Mr. [**Known lastname 91917**]
cardiogenic pulmonary edema resolved, there were no further
pulmonary infiltrates and VAP therapy was stopped. Furthermore,
Mr. [**Initials (NamePattern4) 91917**] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 91918**] and decrease in WBC coincided with PO
vanc therapy for c diff. Oral vancomycin was started on [**3-16**] and
will be continued until [**3-31**] for a planned 14 day course.
# AMS: The patient had been delirious with leukocytosis and was
worked up for potential infectious cause of AMS. CT head
following his fall showed no ICH. There were reportedly no new
medication changes. BUN 70s near baseline and not high enough to
cause uremia typically. Renal also felt the patient was not
likely to have uremic encephalitis. Neurology was curbsided
overnight and recommended r/o infection, seizure (given
history), toxic metabolic syndrome. Given the patient's recent
abdominal pain, n/v, initial consideration was given to a
gastrointestinal cause but GI felt this to be unlikely. After
discontinuation of benzodiazepines and initiation of HD, Mr.
[**Known lastname 91917**] mental status began to clear tremendously. He was Alert
and oriented x 3 upon discharge.
# Pain control: During this admission, Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] complained of
worsening of his baseline back/abdominal and flank pain. Due to
exquisite pain, a left shoulder X ray was obtained on [**3-16**] which
demonstrated a healing proximal humerus fracture. Pain control
improved with starting long acting oxycodone. According to his
outpatient pain specialist he took a total of 240 of oxycodone
at home (including long and short acting medications) in
addition to 30mg morphine (long acting mscontin) at night. Given
his new onset renal failure, we decided to go slow on the
morphine, but at patient's insistence we started PRN IV morphine
for breakthrough pain.
.
# Biliary stent: Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] is status post stenting of the
biliary duct. CT Abdomen this admission demonstrated stability
of the placement. He should follow up with ERCP for follow up
for this stent as an outpatient.
.
# Depression: Continued home duloxetine at 40mg initially. Due
to concerns for worsening mood, a psych consult was obtained.
They recommended 60mg daily, avoidance of benzodiazepines given
profound altered mental status in the peri-extubation setting,
use of trazodone for sleep (with caution for orthostatic
hypotension), and recommended referral for an outpatient
therapist.
.
# History of DVT/PE: Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] suffered a provoked perioperative
DVT/PE 6 months prior to admission, and was on warfarin for this
indication. He was continued on anticoagulation for low-EF and
concern for apical hypokinesis and LV thrombus.
.
Transitional Issues:
- needs TSH/LFTs rechecked 6 weeks after discharge as
adjustments have been made to levoxyl while inpatient and his
statin was increased.
- Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] will need to follow up in psych as an outpatient
following discharge from rehab for evaluation and management of
his chronic depression and anxiety.
- Mr. [**Known lastname 28221**] will need to follow up with ERCP at [**Hospital1 18**] for follow
up of stent placement and possible removal upon discharge from
rehab

Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure caring for you during your hospitalization at
[**Hospital1 18**].
You had a heart attack and received 2 bare metal stents to
blocked arteries in your heart. You will need to take Plavix
every day for at least one month and possibly longer. Do not
stop taking plavix or miss [**First Name (Titles) 691**] [**Last Name (Titles) 4319**] unless Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] (at
[**Hospital1 18**]) tells you it is OK. Your heart is weaker after the heart
attack and you have been started on medicines to help the heart
pump better and to prevent blood clots from forming in your
heart. For your heart failure diagnosis: Weigh yourself every
morning, call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in 3 day
or 5 lbs in 2 days, follow a low salt diet and restrict your
fluidsto 1500 ml/ day or about 6 cups.
After the cardiac catheterization, your kidneys stopped working
and you were started on dialysis. You will likely need dialysis
for a long time and will need to have permanant access placed in
your arm to get the dialysis. You will have a kidney doctor at
your new dialysis center.
You have an infection in your bowel called c difficile again and
are on vancomycin to treat this.
.
We made the following changes to your medicines:
1. STOP taking lasix, diltiazem, labetolol, compazine, zofran,
miconazole, kayexelate
2.Increase Duloxetine to 60mg daily
3. Increase levothyroxine to 50 mcg as your TSH was low. You
will need to check another TSH in 6 weeks.
4. Change simvastatin to atorvastastin to lower your cholesterol
after your heart attack
5. Change NPH to glargine insulin to be taken before breakfast,
continue the humalog sliding scale according to blood sugars
before meals and at bedtime.
6. Increase warfarin to 5mg daily
7. STOP taking Ativan
8. Cont Epoetin per your nephrologists
9. STOP pantoprazole, take famotidine instead
10. Stop morphine pills, take oxycontin instead to treat your
pain. You are on [**1-27**] your normal dose and will increase slowly.
11. Take morphine intravenously as needed for severe pain
12. Increase trazadone to 100 mg at HS, decrease this medicine
once pain control is better.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
[**2128-7-16**]- ORIF left femur fracture
History of Present Illness:
This patient is a 81 year old male with a history of atrial
fibrillation (on coumadin) and hypertension who was transferred
from [**Hospital 11560**] [**Hospital3 **] with a distal left femur
fracture involving his previous total knee replacement. He was
an unrestrained driver going approximately 30 MPH when he had a
left headlight to left headlight MVC with moderate vehicle
damage. He was brought to [**Hospital 11560**] [**Hospital3 **] complaining
only of left knee pain. He had a head and C-spine CT which were
negative. He had a distal left femur fracture. His INR was 1.7.
His systolic blood pressure varied at the OSH, but remained in
the 80s prior to transfer. En route, his systolic blood pressure
dropped to the 70s. He received 50 of fentanyl and 4 of morphine
prior to transfer, and currently complains only of left knee
pain. He did not have an abdominal CT scan prior to transfer to
[**Hospital1 18**].

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 112367**] was initially admitted to the trauma ICU for
neurological checks given concern for delayed head bleed. He
remained in the ICU throughout his course, which is summarized
by systems below. In brief, he was taken to the OR for ORIF of
the left femur fracture; did well postoperatively, and is
discharged to rehab on HD 6.
Neuro: He did have some episodes of ICU delirium which were
managed with PRN haldol and seroqeul. Otherwise pain was well
controlled with IV medication that was transitioned to orals as
he began to tolerate PO. His confusion improved during the day
and with reorientation by family.
CV: He was initially hypotensive to the 60's in the ED;
hypotension responsed to IVF initially, and then 2u pRBC. He had
a bedside echo and was started on a phenylephrine drip. He is on
coumadin at baseline for afib; this was held for concern for
head bleed. His INR was reversed with 3u FFP on [**7-15**] in
anticipation of going to the OR for repair of his femur
fracture. He did require pressors immediately postop but these
were weaned off on POD1 and at time of discharge he is
cardiovascuarly stable.
Pulm: He was intubated to go to the operating room for his femur
fracture and remained intubated overnight. He also had a
bronchoscopy during the OR procedure. He was diuresed
postoperatively with albumin and lasix drip. The lasix drip was
transitioned to intermittent lasix and his respiratory status
improved; he was weaned to room air and remained stable.
GI: He was kept NPO until he went to the operating room.
Postoperatively diet was advanced and he tolerated well with no
issues.
GU: A foley catheter was placed in the ED and remained in place
until POD2; at this time it was discontinued and he voided
without difficulty.
Heme: Pt recieved 2u pRBC upon admission. INR was elevated due
to home coumadin; 3u FFP to reverse prior to OR. Postop his Hct
decreased to 21 and he recieved 2u pRBC; his Hct bumped
appropriately to 26 and remained stable throughout the remainder
of his course. Coumadin was restarted on [**2128-7-18**].
MSK: Injuries included bilateral rib fractures (L ribs [**12-25**] and R
ribs [**2-24**]) and fracture of the left femur. Ortho was consulted in
the ED and followed throughout the patient's course. He was
taken to the OR with ortho for ORIF of the femur fracture on
[**7-16**]; for full details please see the dictated operative report.
At discharge he is non-weight bearing on the left lower
extremity with an unlocked [**Doctor Last Name **] brace. Physical therapy did
see him inpt and recommended rehab.

Service: BLOOMGARD
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 76 year-old
gentleman with history of coronary artery disease, ischemic
cardiomyopathy, ejection 20 percent, atrial fibrillation,
diabetes mellitus with neuropathy, end stage renal disease on
hemodialysis. The patient was admitted on [**4-7**] to an
outside for failure to thrive and hypotensive. The patient
was found to have a large right pleural effusion at the
outside hospital. He was also hypoxic to the 70s on 6 liters
and thoracentesis revealed [**12-10**] liter of transudative fluid
removed. Patient's oxygenation reportedly improved after
that. At the outside hospital the patient's left upper
extremity antecubital AV fistula was noted to be
nonfunctional and a temporary femoral line was placed for
dialysis. The patient was transferred to the [**Hospital1 346**] for evaluation of fistula, repair
and further medical management. The patient was transferred
to the Intensive Care Unit on the [**Hospital Ward Name 516**] of [**Hospital1 346**] on [**2129-4-12**]. Upon transfer his
systolic blood pressures were marginal in the 70s. Otherwise
the patient was stable and afebrile. The patient was
aggressively dialyzed as well as ultrafiltration by
nephrology and was transferred to the regular internal
medicine floor on [**2129-4-13**].
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Coronary artery disease, status post
coronary artery bypass graft times three in [**2099**], [**2112**] and
[**2121**] at [**Hospital 4415**]. Patient underwent
catheterization with no intervention in [**2127-8-10**] at
the [**Hospital1 69**]. In [**2127-8-10**]
transesophageal echocardiogram showed ejection fraction of
about 20 percent, 1+ mitral regurgitation, 2+ tricuspid
regurgitation. Patient reportedly with a chronic right lung
pleural effusion, chronic atrial fibrillation, status post
multiple failed cardioversions. Intermittently
anticoagulated but this was limited by a GI bleed which the
patient has had in the past related to Barrett's esophagus.
Also history of stroke with short term memory loss. History
of falls and syncope. History of sick sinus syndrome with
pacemaker placed DDI. Also diabetes mellitus with neuropathy
and nephropathy. Patient with end stage renal disease on
hemodialysis in [**2126-11-9**] on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. Also hypothyroidism. Also gout. Also depression.
Also prostatic hyperplasia. Also status post appendectomy.
Also reported restrictive and obstructive lung disease on
home oxygen. Also history of Legionnaire's disease.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Patient lives in [**Hospital3 **]. His wife
is alive but demented. [**Hospital **] health care proxy is one of
his daughters. Remote tobacco history with history of 100
pack years. Alcohol once to twice per week.
ALLERGIES: Cardizem "makes me turn into a puffer fish."
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: Prevacid 30 once a day, Zoloft 20
once a day, Synthroid .75 once a day, Neurontin 300 once a
day, Renagel 800 t.i.d. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
Midodrine 10 pre-hemodialysis Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Digoxin .125, Tums 1,000 mg t.i.d., amiodarone 200 t.i.d.,
Reglan 10 q.i.d., allopurinol 100 q.d., Zebeta 2.5 mg
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Coumadin 1 mg q.d. which
had been held at the outside hospital.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission temperature 97.1, blood
pressure 89/50, heart rate 60, saturating 97 percent on 4
liters nasal cannula. Patient is an elderly gentleman in no
apparent distress. Lungs with coarse breath sounds
anteriorly. Heart with S1, 2, II/VI systolic murmur.
Patient's abdomen was benign. Skin with decubitus ulcer,
also skin breakdown on right and left upper extremities as
well as right lower extremity. Neuropsychiatric: Patient
responds appropriately and answers questions appropriately
but with poor recall. Alert and oriented times three.
Muscle strength 4 out 5 throughout, decreased sensation to
light touch in bilateral lower extremities.
LABORATORY DATA UPON TRANSFER: White count 6.6, hematocrit
39, platelets 171. Chemistries within normal limits except
for potassium of 5.2, BUN/creatinine 30/5.5, TSH 15, Digoxin
level 2.2.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE: This 76 year-old gentleman with
history of severe coronary artery disease, status post
coronary artery bypass graft, severe congestive heart failure
and cardiomyopathy, pacemaker, diabetes, end stage renal
disease on hemodialysis, transferred from an outside hospital
with a nonfunctioning AV fistula used for dialysis.
Transiently in the Intensive Care Unit for one day for close
monitoring and then transferred to Medicine on [**4-13**].
1. Congestive heart failure: Ejection fraction estimated at
20 percent per echocardiogram in [**2126**]. Patient's Digoxin was
held due to his low blood pressures as well as elevated serum
levels. Patient's serum levels should be monitored and
consider restarting as an outpatient. Renal followed the
patient closely and performed ultrafiltration daily as well
as dialysis three times per week for fluid removal for the
patient's congestive heart failure. The patient's oxygen
saturations remained stable throughout his hospital stay.
Clinically the patient initially with jugular venous
distention and lower extremity edema. However, this improved
with dialysis and ultrafiltration.
2. Blood pressure: Patient with marginal systolic blood
pressure in the 70s to 80s on admission. However, blood
pressure remained in the 90s to 100s throughout the remainder
of his hospital stay. Patient's cortisol was checked and was
within normal limits. Patient's blood pressure remained
stable and tolerated the hemodialysis and ultrafiltration
well. Given the patient's cardiac risk factors we discussed
starting low dose ACE inhibitors as well as beta blocker.
For this patient, however, given his marginal blood pressures
which were very hemodialysis dependent, the patient was not
started on one. Recommend outpatient consideration of
starting low dose ACE inhibitor on beta blocker.
3. Pulmonary: Patient with congestive heart failure as
mentioned above. Also with restrictive lung disease per
report. Patient also with stable transudative pleural fluid
per report. Patient on home oxygen as well. Patient's
oxygen saturation was stable in the mid 90s throughout his
hospital stay on low amounts of oxygen via nasal cannula.
4. End stage renal disease: Patient followed by renal
consult and team and underwent ultrafiltration q.d. as well
as dialysis three times per week which he tolerated well.
Patient's AV fistula was found to be clotted and
interventional radiology attempted to fix this, however, were
unable to. Therefore, patient had a tunneled right internal
jugular dialysis catheter placed for access. Patient was
evaluated by transplant surgery regarding possible fistula
repair or placing a new access site for hemodialysis.
Transplant surgery deferred doing this at this time given the
patient's skin breakdown over the sites that they would want
to do that. Recommend outpatient follow up for possible
access procedure in the future. Patient tolerated renal low
sodium diet well. Patient also with Nephrocaps and phosphate
binders.
5. Dermatology: Patient with skin breakdown on his back,
right shin and bilateral upper extremities. These were
changed with dressings and monitored closely.
6. Atrial fibrillation: Patient's Coumadin was held due to
interventional radiology procedure. Given the patient's
history of GI bleed, patient's Coumadin was continued to be
held at discharge. Defer to outpatient primary care
physician regarding pros and cons of restarting Coumadin with
patient likely to undergo re-access in the future. Patient's
Digoxin was held as mentioned above. Patient was continued
on amiodarone for his atrial fibrillation which he tolerated
well.
7. Coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery
bypass graft most recently in [**2121**]: Patient's cardiac
enzymes negative times three, however, with slightly elevated
troponins likely related to chronic end stage renal disease.
Patient continued on aspirin. Cardiology was consulted
regarding patient's heart issues and stated that the patient
could be a candidate for ICD placement due to his low
ejection fraction. Medical team discussion with patient and
patient decided against this given patient's likely prognosis
due to other comobidities.
8. Diabetes mellitus: Patient maintained on insulin sliding
scale throughout this hospital stay. This was stable.
Continue diabetic diet.
9. Infectious disease: Patient's skin swab from [**4-14**] grew
out methicillin resistant staph aureus and patient was placed
on precautions. No signs of active infection, however.
10. Fluid, electrolytes and nutrition: Patient maintained
on low sodium renal diet. Also proton pump inhibitor.
Patient's stools were guaiaced. Patient's hematocrit
remained stable.
CODE: Code status is full confirmed with the patient as well
as his health care proxy, his daughter. Communication daily
with the patient as well as his daughters.
ACCESS: Peripheral intravenous as well as femoral dialysis
catheter placed at the outside hospital on [**4-11**]. Plan to
discontinue the femoral dialysis catheter once the right
internal jugular tunnel catheter is confirmed to be working
properly.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Fair, at baseline.
DISCHARGE STATUS: To skilled nursing facility.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
End stage renal disease on hemodialysis.
Coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass
graft.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 74-year-old male with
a complicated medical history who was transferred from
[**Hospital **] Hospital with renal failure and metabolic acidosis.
He had also complained of odynophagia and difficulty with a
severe feeling of thirst. He was transferred to [**Hospital1 346**] for further management of his
metabolic acidosis.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease; status post coronary artery
bypass graft 17 years ago with a preserved ejection fraction
as of [**2109-1-7**].
2. Type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
3. Chronic renal insufficiency (with a baseline creatinine
of 2).
4. Cirrhosis of the liver secondary to alcohol (Child class
A)
5. Peripheral vascular disease; status post right-sided
below-knee amputation.
6. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; specifically in
the right mandibular region which was diagnosed in [**2105**];
status post radiation therapy.
7. Hypertension.
8. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
ALLERGIES: The patient had no known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
on admission revealed heart rate was 104, blood pressure was
94/60, oxygen saturation was 98% on room air, and temperature
was 98, and respiratory rate was 18. In general, the patient
was very agitated and was not cooperative with the
examination. He did not appear to be in acute respiratory
distress. Head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination
revealed his pupils were reactive to light. Extraocular
movements were full. Sclerae were muddy and injected. There
was no clear icterus or subungual jaundice. The neck
revealed no jugular venous distention. The lungs were clear
to auscultation anteriorly with decreased breath sounds at
the right posterior base. Heart was irregularly irregular
and tachycardic. Normal first heart sounds and second heart
sounds. There was no third heart sounds or fourth heart
sounds appreciated. A 2/6 systolic murmur at the apex was
appreciated. The abdomen revealed decreased bowel sounds.
Soft, nontender, and nondistended. Liver was palpable four
fingerbreadths below the costal margin. Extremity
examination revealed there was palmar erythema. The patient
was status post right below-knee amputation. There was no
pedal edema on the left. Neurologic examination revealed
awake, alert and oriented times three. There was no facial
droop. The tongue was midline. Extraocular movements were
full. Shoulder shrug was equal, [**4-14**] bilaterally. Grimace
was symmetric. He had left pronator drift. Otherwise, motor
strength was [**4-14**] throughout.
PERTINENT LABORATORY VALUES ON PRESENTATION: Pertinent
laboratory findings on admission revealed an arterial blood
gas of 7.10/18/126. White blood cell count was 12.,
hematocrit was 31.7, and platelets were 124. Chemistry-7 was
notable for a potassium of 6.2, bicarbonate was 7, with a
creatinine of 6.9, and glucose was 135. Anion gap was
calculated at 20. AST was 52, ALT was 25, alkaline
phosphatase was 120, and a total bilirubin of 0.3. Creatine
kinase was 1018 on admission. Lactate was 0.8. FENa was
calculated at 0.8%.
PERTINENT RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: Electrocardiogram at the time
of admission revealed a rate of 100 and was a normal sinus
rhythm at that time, with normal axis and intervals. There
were no peaked T waves or ST-T wave changes noted.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM: This was a 74-year-old
male with an extensive past medical history who was
transferred to the [**Hospital1 69**] with
severe metabolic acidosis, acute-on-chronic renal failure,
history of Child class A cirrhosis, coronary artery disease,
and type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
1. METABOLIC ACIDOSIS ISSUES: The metabolic acidosis was
felt to be an anion gap acidosis; secondary to either ongoing
alcohol abuse (which was an issue for this patient), or
possibly diabetic ketoacidosis or starvation ketoacidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis was not felt to be the leading cause,
as his glucose was never high. Nonetheless, he was insulin
dependent.
His acidosis improved somewhat with aggressive hydration and
nutrition; however, never completely normalized during his
hospital course.
2. CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE ISSUES: The patient ruled in for
a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction and had a transthoracic
echocardiogram showing new regional wall motion abnormalities
with a dyskinetic left ventricle.
He was started on a heparin drip to prevent thrombus.
Coumadin was never stated on the patient.
3. RENAL FAILURE ISSUES: The patient had an acute tubular
necrosis with a FENa that was less than 1%; however, his
creatinine clearance never improved during his hospital stay.
Despite aggressive hydration, and renally dosing medications,
as well as holding ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor
blockers, the patient's creatinine never improved. His urine
output continued to deteriorate during his hospital course
and in the Intensive Care Unit prior to his death.
4. RESPIRATORY FAILURE ISSUES: During his hospital course,
the patient had hypoxic respiratory failure requiring
intubated and was also quite difficult to ventilate;
requiring the use of paralytics.
The patient's respiratory course was complicated difficulty
clearing secretions by the patient as well as
hospital-acquired pneumonia. Sputum cultures did grow out
Staphylococcus aureus, and the patient was covered with
appropriate antibiotics.
5. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ISSUES: The [**Hospital 228**] hospital
course was also complicated by atrial fibrillation with a
rapid ventricular response; requiring atrioventricular nodal
blockade with a calcium channel blocker or a beta blocker.
6. DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION ISSUES: The
patient did have disseminated intravascular coagulation
toward the end of his hospitalization; presumably secondary
to profound infection.
On the day prior to his death, his urine output continued to
be very marginal after aggressive fluid hydration. His
maximum urine output was only 40 cc per hour. Sediment
continued to reveal a muddy brown cast consistent with acute
tubular necrosis; however, his FENa was always less than 1%.
His heart rate decreased to the 40s and 50s on the afternoon
prior to his death; showing a sinus arrhythmia and
ventricular escape beats. There were no ST elevations. His
electrolytes were repleted at that time.
His overall prognosis was extremely poor because of his renal
failure and sepsis which was complicated by disseminated
intravascular coagulation. This was communicated to Mrs.
[**Known lastname 41304**], the [**Hospital 228**] health care proxy, who stated that Mr.
[**Known lastname 41304**] would not have wanted extensive life support. His
wife agreed to withdrawing care on [**2109-4-3**], and she
stated that he would not have wanted an autopsy done. On
[**2109-4-4**], the patient expired.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Renal failure.
2. Pneumonia.
3. Heart failure.
4. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
5. Coronary artery disease.
6. Congestive heart failure.

History of Present Illness:
HPI: Patient is a 84 yo right handed walker-dependent women for
frequent falls who lives in a nursing home with hx of prior ICH
(location unclear) in [**2182**] here from [**Hospital 1110**] Hospital after
presenting with aphasia and R sided weakness found to have L
IPH.
Hx obtained per daughter who was with the patient given that
patient unable to express herself. Per daughter, patient had
dinner at the daughter's house and was attending her grandson's
acapella concert around 7pm. While the daughter was getting the
tickets, she walked ahead with her walker and when the daughter
looked after buying the tickets, she noticed that a passerby was
assisting her mom who seemed to be leaning to the R. She did
not
fall but she was not able to speak. They grabbed a chair nearby
and sat her down and just dragged the chair to the daughter's
car
who transported the patient to a hospital in [**Location (un) 1110**].
While at [**Location (un) 1110**], she was reported to have R sided weakness with
aphasia. Her BP was in 160's/80's and head CT revealed 2X2cm L
IPH with some ventricular extension hence patient was
transferred
here for further care.
The daughter does not recall the patient complaining of any
headache or nausea. Patient seems to deny having any HA or
nausea currently but difficult to assess the extent of her
comprehension. Per nursing home, patient walks with a walker at
baseline and has mild dementia but is quite oriented at
baseline.
She is called the "secretary of her [**Doctor Last Name 7594**] [**Doctor Last Name **]/nursing home."
The nursing home and the HCP (another daughter) confirms that
patient is DNR/DNI. Also, she was recently diagnosed with UTI
and started on Amoxicillin yesterday. ROS negative otherwise.

[**2184-4-20**]: CHEST (PA & LAT):
No significant change.
Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment and Plan at admission: In summary, patient is a 84 yo
RHW with mild dementia and hx of prior CNS hemorrhage here with
sudden onset of leaning to the
R and aphasia without any trauma found to have L intracerebral
hemorrhage with some ventricular extension. Patient has severe
aphasia but intact repetition. Appears to follow simple motor
commands but extent of comprehension difficult to assess. Mild
R
facial droop and appears to have R sided sensory deficit.
Weakness if difficult to detect but has marked R pronator which
appears to be from sensory deficit rather than [**Last Name **] problem.
Given the location of the bleed (L BG) and no evidence/report of
trauma, most likely hypertensive hemorrhage versus amyloid.
Although no significant change since OSH imaging, will need to
admit to ICU for close observation.
RECS:
1. Admit to ICU under Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Name (STitle) **] with telemetry.
2. Maintain SBP < 160 and HOB > 30 degrees.
3. Keep NPO overnight.
4. DVT PPX with pneumo boots.
5. STAT head CT if change in exam.
6. Follow-up on labs including UA - may need to start on
ceftriaxone if +UTI.
7. Further rec's to follow in the morning

Chief Complaint:
Fever, neutropenia, and swollen, painful left elbow
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
PICC line placement
History of Present Illness:
61-year-old right-handed woman with glioblastoma multiforme, s/p
subtotal resection on [**2156-7-2**], involved-field cranial XRT, and
chemotherapy (last taken on [**2156-9-10**]). She developed a fever to
102 F, hypotension to SBP 90s today, and came to our emergency
room. Husband first noted left elbow 3-4 weeks ago which
resolved in 2 days after application of neosporin (there was a
question of spider bite). Then 3 days ago she noted erythema
which increased and associated with increasing edema and
tenderness. Today, the patient was practically unable to move
elbow due to pain. She experienced fever and chills that began
yesterday, but she did not take her temperature. Her Review of
System is notable for a new dry cough x 6 days. She also
developed diarrhea but stopped 3 days ago when she stopped
taking Colace. She has fatigue but no SOB, congestion,
abdominal pain, dysuria, bright red blood per rectum, or melena.
There was no trauma to elbow. There was no recent sick
contacts or travel.
Regarding her oncologic history, her symptoms began in late [**Month (only) 205**]
[**2155**] with headache, word-finding difficulties, memory loss, and
confusion. She was found to have a left parietal brain lesion.
After subtotal resection on [**2156-7-2**], underwent involved-field
XRT with concurrent temozolomid. She also received 1 treatment
with CyberKnife radiosurgery to an enhancing lesion in the right
occipital lobe, together with temozolomide.
In the emergency room, her temperature was 102.6 F, HR 130s
(sinus tachycardia), and systolic BP 90s-100s (baseline SBP
120s-130s). Her WBC was 0.3 with no neutrophils or bands. Her
U/A showed no WBC but there was nitrates and bacteria. Her
serum lactate was 3.9. Blood and urine cultures were sent. Her
chest CTA was negative for pulmonary embolism, but there was
mild left lung apical patchy ground-glass opacity; there was a
question of atelectasis versus pneumonia. She received oxygen
at 7 liters via nasal cannula in the emergency room but her
systolic BP persisted in 90s-100s. Emergency Department did not
start on sepsis protocol because her serum lactate was not > 4
and she was responsive to fluid, despite the elevated
temperature, heart rate, and WBC.
Past Medical History:
Glioblastoma multiforme of left temporoparietal lobe
Anxiety
Social History:
Never smoked, drinks alcohol on rare occasions. Lives with
husband. Worked as secretary.

fluctuance, and tenderness to palpation. She is unable to
abduct at elbow more than 5 degrees secondary to pain. Her
lower extremities are cool, without c/c/e. She has 2+ dorsalis
pedis pulses bilaterally
Neurologic Examination: Her mental status is intact. She is
awake, alert, and oriented x 3. Her language is fluent with
good comprehension. CN II-XII are intact. Her motor strength
is [**4-15**] motor in RUE; LUE examination limited due to pain at
elbow. In the lower extremities, she has 4-/5 strength
bilaterally at thigh flexors, 5/5 strength at quadriceps,
hamstrings, foot dorsiflexion, and plantar flexion. Her
reflexes are 2- but her ankle jerks are absent. She has

L elbow Xray [**2156-9-19**]: Four radiographs of the left elbow
demonstrate no joint effusion. No fracture. No cortical
fragmentation to suggest osteomyelitis. Regional soft tissues
are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Unremarkable radiographs, left elbow.
MRI of L elbow: MR LEFT ELBOW WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is a
moderate elbow joint effusion. The bone marrow appears normal in
signal intensity characteristics. There is circumferential edema
within the subcutaneous tissues about the elbow. There is fluid
signal intensity in the region of the olecranon bursa,
suggestive of bursitis. There is more confluent high signal
intensity surrounding the musculature at the elbow joint. It is
not clear if this represents dense edema or frank fluid, as this
study is limited without intravenous contrast. Also noted is
diffuse increased signal intensity within the musculature about
the elbow, suggestive of myositis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate elbow joint effusion.
2. Diffuse increased signal intensity within the musculature
about the elbow, consistent with nonmyositis.
3. Olecranon bursitis.
4. Edema within the subcutaneous tissues about the elbow,
suggestive of cellulitis.
CT OF THE CHEST: There are no significant axillary, mediastinal,
or hilar lymph nodes. There is a small hypodense area in the
left lobe of the thyroid measuring 1.2 x 0.8 cm. Ultrasound
could be performed for further evaluation.
There is no pericardial effusion. The heart is of normal size.
The great vessels are unremarkable. There is no evidence of
aortic dissection. There is fluid in the pericardial recess
anterior to the aorta, which is unchanged when compared to prior
study. The pulmonary artery is normal size. There are no filling
defects in the pulmonary artery branches. There is no evidence
of pulmonary embolism. The airway is patent to level of
subsegmental bronchi. There are subsegmental atelectasis in the
right middle lobe and lower lobes. There are emphysematous
changes in the lungs. There is a patchy ground-glass opacity in
the left upper lobe near the apex that is new when compared to
the prior study and of unclear significance. It most likely
represents an area of pneumonia. There are no pleural effusions.
Limited images of the upper abdomen do not reveal significant
abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.
2. Emphysema.
3. Subsegmental atelectasis.
4. Small patchy ground-glass opacity in the left apex of unknown
clinical significance. It could representa small focus of
pneumonia. It is new when compared to the prior study from [**6-30**], [**2155**]. Attention on follow to confirm resolution is
recommended.
EKG [**2156-9-25**]: Sinus tachycardia
Modest diffuse nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 61-year-old woman with glioblastoma multiforme, s/p
involved-field XRT, surgery, involved-field cranial irradiation,
and chemotherapy presented with neutropenic fever, left elbow
bursitis/cellulitis, UTI, and possible pneumonia on chest CT.
1. Neutropenic Fever/Hypotension: In the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], the patient was
aggressively fluid resuscitated, and her blood pressure
responded without any pressor. Sources of infection included
left elbow bursitis/cellulitis, pneumonia, and UTI. In the
setting of neutropenic fever, the patient was started on broad
spectrum antibiotics with vancomycin, ceftazidime, and
azithromycin (for atypical pneumonia), as well as gentamicin x 1
dose in context of continued destabilization and need for double
gram negative coverage. Central venous pressure improved to
[**6-23**] over the course of 48 hours, and blood pressures
stabilized. Patient had no more fever. Patient received stress
dose steroids as well as Neupogen. Orthopedics was consulted
for her left elbow bursitis/cellulitis. X-ray and MRI did not
reveal osteomyelitis. Orthopedics felt that possible bursitis;
however, symptoms improved with antibiotics.
On transfer to the OMED service, the patient was afebrile and
hemodynamically stable. She was continued on Neupogen,
vancomycin, ceftazidime, and azythromycin. On [**2156-9-23**], given
her enterococcal UTI is pansensitive and the patient no longer
neutropenic, vancomycin and ceftazidime were discontinued and
cefazolin IV was started to cover both enteroccocus and left
elbow cellulitis. Neupogen was discontinued on [**2156-9-24**].
Azythromycin was discontinued after completion of 7 day course
on [**2156-9-26**]. Also, on [**2156-9-26**], the left elbow had increased
warmth and erythema as well as enlargement of fluid sac. Also,
patient's WBC increased despite the discontinuation of Neupogen
was disproportionately high with a presence of dohl bodies and
toxic granulations on smears suggestive of undertreated or
persistant infection. Thus, cefazolin was discontinued, and
vancomycin was restarted on [**2156-9-26**]. The left elbow responded
well to vancomycin and the fluid sac broke open spontaneously,
draining pus. The patient had a PICC line placed in her right
arm and was discharged with 10 more days of vancomycin to finish
a 2 week course.
2. Hypoxia: The paitnet required O2 supplement temporarily. CXR
showed small bilateral pleural effusions and atelectasis. With
incentive spirometry use, the patient's sat improved to 95% on
RA.
3. Glioblastoma Multiforme: Chemotherapy was held. Continued on
Keppra and Decadron. Given on steroids, FS blood glucose was
checked 4 times daily and they were mostly in the 100's, not
requiring a long acting insulin.
4. Transaminitis: She had elevated AST and ALT from [**2156-7-12**].
Rechecked and was normal.
5. Anxiety: Lorazepam prn helped.
6. Prophylaxis: Sliding scale insulin and finger stick blood
glucose given on steroids; PPI, subcutaneous heparin, and bowel
regimen were administered as well.
7. FEN: Regular diet
8. Full code: Patient does not want prolonged intubation if
M.D.s think poor recovery.

Brief Hospital Course:
74 y/o M with history of HTN, Hyperlipidemia, and CAD s/p PCI in
[**2074**] who initially presented to OSH on Friday night with severe
epigastric burning. Ruled in for MI with troponins of 1.24 and
2.0. with no EKG changes and was found to have 3VD on cath and
was referred for CABG. The patient was brought to the operating
room on [**2101-6-30**] where he underwent Coronary artery bypass
grafting x3 with left internal mammary artery to left anterior
descending artery and reverse saphenous vein graft to the first
obtuse marginal artery and the distal circumflex artery. See
operative note for full details. Overall the patient tolerated
the procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the
CVICU in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring.
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. He did have some
issues with nausea/ vomiting on POD2 and KUB revealed scattered
air within non-dilated loops of large and small bowel and no
evidence of bowel obstruction. He was given multiple bowel
medications with subsequent bowel movements and resolution of
symptoms. The patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for
further recovery. He was restarted on half his home dose
Zestril with SBP100-130 and he was not started on a statin due
to a history of rhabdomyolysis with Lipitor. PCP to determine
if/when he should start an alernative statin. Chest tubes were
removed POD#4 (left in longer due to serous drainage) and CXR
showed questionable loculated left pneumothorax. Follow up
lateral decub CXR showed no pneumothorax. 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 to [**Location (un) 582**] at
[**Location (un) **] in good condition with appropriate follow up
instructions.

Service: NEONATOLOG
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The 1100 gram product of a 28
and [**1-11**] week gestation, Baby Girl [**Name2 (NI) 4027**] was born to a 37
year-old G unknown, P1 female with prenatal screens after
delivery that were A positive, antibody negative, Rubella
immune, RPR non-reactive, hepatitis surface antigen negative.
Other prenatal information was limited given that the mother
undertook no prenatal care. Mother developed acute abdominal
pain early on the morning of delivery and called 911, however
she deliver precipitously at 3:10 AM prior to the arrival of
EMS. The EMTs described the baby as active and breathing
well on arrival and a found an Apgar score of 8 minutes
without the time being noted. They wrapped the baby in baby
towels and transferred the baby by ambulance with mother to
the [**Hospital1 69**], where the baby was
brought directly to the newborn Intensive Care Unit.
On arrival the baby appeared [**Name2 (NI) **] with good spontaneous
activity, although she appeared mildly hypotonic. Vital
signs were temperature 92.0 F per rectum, heart rate 122,
respiratory rate 55, blood pressure 59/27 with a mean BP of
38. Weight was 1.1 kilos which was at the 50th percentile.
Length was 34 cm which was at the 15th percentile. Head
circumference was 24 cm which was between the 5th and 10th
percentile. Valid was consistent with a 29 week gestation
pregnancy. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: Prominent
molding, anterior fontanelle soft and flat. The sutures were
mobile. The palate was intact. Respiratory: Only fair air
entry was noted bilaterally with mild retractions also noted.
Cardiovascular: S1, S2 were of normal intensity, no murmur
appreciated. Capillary refill was slightly delayed at two
seconds, but overall profusion was good. Abdominal: Soft
with normal bowel sounds, no masses or organomegaly noted. A
3 vessel cord was noted. GU: Normal [**Doctor First Name **] female external
genitalia. The anus was normally placed. Neurologic: Tone
was overall mildly reduced, but was symmetric. Initial
dextrose stick was 58.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
1. RESPIRATORY: Initially intubated with a 3.0 endotracheal
tube. The baby was given one dose of Surfactant and was able
to be weaned off mechanical ventilation by the second day of
life. The baby continued on [**Name (NI) 39000**] through day of life #6.
Nasal cannula therapy was discontinued by [**12-9**]. The baby
was off of diuretics by [**12-12**]. There have been no
episodes of apnea or bradycardia since being off of the
diuretics.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: The baby did not require pressor
therapy; however a murmur was noted by [**11-1**].
Echocardiogram revealed a moderate PDA for which Indomethacin
was given for one course. The infant was hemodynamically
stable thereafter.
3. FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Initially NPO, the
baby was on TPN by the second day of life. Enteral feedings
were started on [**11-2**] and were advanced to maximum
calories of PE 30 with ProMod by [**11-15**]. Given good growth,
the baby has been on [**Name (NI) 37112**] 24 for the past week and taking
it p.o. without difficulty over the last week. Minimum
feedings have been 130 cc per kilo per day and the weight on
discharge is 2510 grams.
4. GASTROINTESTINAL: Started on phototherapy for
hyperbilirubinemia. The baby had a maximum bilirubin total
of 11.6 on [**10-29**]. Phototherapy was discontinued by [**11-5**] and
the baby had a rebound max bilirubin of 4 on [**11-6**].
5. HEMATOLOGY: Initial hematocrit was 65.1%. The baby did
not receive any transfusions during this admission. The last
hematocrit was drawn on [**12-5**] and was 32.5%. The baby has
received iron therapy and vitamin E during this admission.
6. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: Initially on Ampicillin and
Gentamycin for the presenting history, the child was treated
with a seven day course. Blood cultures were no growth [**Name6 (MD) **]
the NNP notes.
7. NEUROLOGIC: The initial maternal tox screen was positive
for cocaine. There were no other positive screens in follow
up testing. Initial head ultrasound done on [**10-30**] was
without evidence of hemorrhage. Follow up head ultrasound
performed on [**11-28**] showed a left subependymal cyst was
considered consistent with an early general matrix
hemorrhage. There was no evidence of periventricular
leukomalacia.
8. SENSORY: Etiology hearing screen was performed with
automated auditory brainstem responses. The baby passed this
hearing screen.
9. OPHTHALMOLOGY: Seen on [**11-29**], the baby was felt to have
mature retinas bilaterally. Follow up was suggested at eight
months.
10. PSYCHOSOCIAL: The [**Hospital1 69**]
Social Work Service was involved with the mother. The
contact social worker was [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) **] whose page number is
[**Numeric Identifier 45010**]. She can also be reached at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 8717**]. DSS was
also involved. Ms. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] was the case worker and
her phone # [**Telephone/Fax (1) 45011**]. A 51-A has been filed.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: The baby is being discharged to home
under the mother's care.
PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and his clinic
phone # [**Telephone/Fax (1) 38541**]. The first appointment with the
pediatrician is to be in two days on [**12-20**] at 8:20 in the
morning.
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Feeds at discharge [**Month/Year (2) 37112**] 24 with iron. Also the baby
is to receive some supplementary iron sulfate which would be
0.2 milliliters of 25 mg elemental Ferrous Sulfate per ml
solution.
2. Care seat testing was passed on [**12-15**].
3. Newborn screens were sent multiple times. Most recently
on [**11-15**].

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] is an 850 gram
product of a 26 and 6/7 weeks gestation born to a 35-year-old
gravida 2, para 1 (now 2) mother with prenatal screens blood
type O positive, antibody negative, RPR nonreactive, rubella
immune, hepatitis B negative, group B strep unknown.
The pregnancy was complicated by pregnancy induced
hypertension. The mother was admitted at 25 weeks for
betamethasone and bed rest. Her preeclampsia worsened and
she developed thrombocytopenia, so baby boy [**Name (NI) 58859**] was
delivered by cesarean section. In the delivery room he was
initially limp and apneic. He required positive pressure
ventilation and intubation in the delivery room. His Apgar
scores were 3 at 1 minute and 7 at 5 minutes of life. He was
transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for
management of his issues or prematurity.
INITIAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Birth weight was 850 grams
(50th percentile), the length was 33.5 cm (25th percentile),
and head circumference was 44.25 cm (25th percentile). In
general, baby boy [**Name (NI) 58859**] was an intubated preterm male.
Active and in no acute distress. HEENT examination revealed
a normocephalic infant with an anterior fontanel that was
open and flat with an intact palate. His neck was supple.
His lungs had equal breath sounds bilaterally but were
coarse. His heart examination revealed a regular rate and
rhythm with no murmurs and bilateral 2 plus femoral pulses.
His abdomen was soft without organomegaly and had no bowel
sounds. His GU examination revealed a normal preterm male.
His anus was patent. His clavicles were intact. His hips
were stable. His neurological examination revealed slight
hypertonia.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM:
1. RESPIRATORY: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] had an initial poor
respiratory effort and was thus intubated in the delivery
room. He was treated with two doses of Surfactant and did
very well; extubating from low settings to CPAP of 6 cm at
about 24 hours of life. As he was less than 1000 grams at
birth, he was treated with 12 doses of vitamin A. Since
extubation he has been quite stable on CPAP 6 cm and less
than 30 percent oxygen; primarily in 21 percent. He was
bolused with caffeine at the time of his extubation. At
the time of this interim summary, he has [**5-4**] apnea of
bradycardia spells per day. These seem to be related to
thick secretions for which he requires suctioning.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] was hemodynamically
stable on admission. He developed a murmur on day of life
two and received a single course of indomethacin.
Echocardiogram showed his patent ductus arteriosus to be
closed. He has had no further murmur or other
cardiovascular issues since that time. His blood
pressures and perfusion have been normal.
3. FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**]
was initially held nothing by mouth and started on
parenteral nutrition and intravenous fluids at 100 cc/kg
per day. His total fluids were gradually advanced to 150
cc/kg per day. On day of life five, he had hyperglycemia
with Dextrostix's in the 200 to 300 range. He received a
second rule out sepsis for this, but appeared clinically
well. No cause of his hyperglycemia was found. He
received a single dose of intravenous insulin for a peak
blood sugar of 348 with good affect. Blood sugars fell
into the 100 range and have been stable between 100 and
150 since that time. Trophic feedings were begun on day
of life six and have been successfully advanced to full
feedings of breast milk or Special Care 24 calories per
ounce at 150 cc/kg per day at the time of this summary,
day of life 15. Electrolytes have been stable. Urine
output and stooling have been normal. BUN and creatinine
were slightly elevated on day of life six with BUN of 26
and a creatinine of 0.6. These had fallen by day of life
nine to a BUN of 17 with a creatinine of 0.6.
4. HEMATOLOGIC: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58860**] initial hematocrit
was 48.7 percent on admission. He has not required any
blood products thus far. Iron and vitamin E were begun on
[**12-23**] (day of life 15). His most recent hematocrit
was 39.3 percent on day of life six. Bilirubin at 24
hours of life was 4.4; for which he began phototherapy.
Bilirubin peaked at 4.5 on day of life six. Phototherapy
was discontinued on day of life seven, and a rebound was
2.8.
5. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] was delivered
primarily for maternal reasons, and was clinically well at
delivery, he received a complete blood count and blood
culture but was not treated with antibiotics. His initial
complete blood count had a white count of 7000 with 31
percent polys and no bands. His platelet count was normal
at 218,000. On day of life six, with his sudden increase
in blood glucose - that was otherwise unexplained - a
complete blood count and blood culture were again sent.
Complete blood count at that time had a white count of 7.8
thousand with 30 percent polys and 1 percent bands. Blood
cultures remained negative and antibiotics were
discontinued after 48 hours. Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] has had
no further infectious issues at the time of this interim
summary.
6. NEUROLOGIC: Baby boy [**Known lastname 58859**] had his first head
ultrasound on day of life seven ([**12-15**]). This
revealed no intraventricular hemorrhage or other
abnormality. He will have a repeat head ultrasound
at day of life 30.
7. SENSORY: A hearing screening has not yet been performed
but is recommended prior to discharge. Baby boy
[**Known lastname 58859**] has not yet had his first ophthalmologic
examination, but this will be performed at four to six
weeks of life.

motion-blurring and patient positioning, the overall appearance
is essentially unchanged. There is evidence of pulmonary
hyperinflation with diaphragm flattening, suggestive of
underlying obstructive lung disease, but no focal airspace
process is seen. The cardiomediastinal silhouette and pulmonary
vessels are unchanged with no evidence of CHF. DISH involving
the thoracic spine is redemonstrated.

Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 74F Vancomycin for MRSA bacteremia, transferred from [**Hospital 100**]
Rehab for worsening rash and persistent bacteremia.
.
# Rash: On presentation, dermatology was consulted. They
believe that it is most consistent with AGEP (acute generalized
exanthematous pustulosis), which is a drug hypersensitivity
recation. Fever and leukocytosis can acompany this reaction.
They recommened supportive care. A biopsy was taken and should
be follow up after the patient is discharged. Petrolatum can be
applied to entire body surface [**Hospital1 **]-TID to help with healing.
Also, ABD pads or other cushioning in intertriginous areas to
prevent trauma as well as viscous lidocaine prn oral comfort.
She will need suture removal in [**10-17**] days and should follow up
at dermatology clinic. ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 1971**] to schedule a follow-up
appointment.) The patient was also aggressively hydrated
because of the large volume of fluids that she is losing from
her skin.
.
# Bacteremia: Unclear etiology but likely pulmonary; from
previous admission. The patient remained afebrile despite
growing [**3-7**] blood cultures for gram positive cocci in clusters
during that admission. TTE was performed at that time revealing
knwon stable AS with a thickened valve but no evidence of
vegetation. The patient's vancomycin was stopped on admission
and she was started on Linezolid. Repeat blood cultures are
pending at the time of discharge. She will need a total of a 14
day course starting from [**9-7**] (ending on [**9-21**]).

Brief Hospital Course:
He was admitted to the Acute Care team and transferred to the
Trauma ICU. His ICU course was as follows:
On [**7-15**], the patient was intubated in the field and brought to
the ICU. He had 1 left CT placed at the OSH, the other was
placed upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**]. He received 2 units of PRBCs at
the outside hospital. A bronch and EGD were down and both
negative. The patient was initially on propofol gtt and neo gtt
at 0.5. The Neo was discontinued upon arrival to the TICU as
his blood pressure was stable. He was given 3L of crystalloid
during his EGD and bronch and his uop was adequate. MRA of the
neck was performed that did not show any vertebral artery injury
and the basilar CT was pulled. His aline was also pulled. On
[**7-16**], the patient was extubated and transitioned to dilaudid pca
for pain control. He was doing well and was hemodynamically
stable. He was transferred to the floor on [**7-16**].
He was transferred to the regular nursing unit in the late
afternoon on [**7-16**] with 1 remaining chest tube to water seal. he
was noted with some pain control issues requiring continuation
of PCA Dilaudid. On the following morning his chest tube output
was minimal and the decision was made to pull the chest tube. A
post pull chest film was ordered showing a tiny left apical
space. He remained without shortness of breath and able to use
his incentive spirometer.
He was given a regular diet and changed to oral narcotics for
pain control which was effective.
Social work was consulted due to the nature of his trauma; he
was offered assistance from the Center for Violence Prevention
and Recovery.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 31824**] is a 60 year old woman s/p OLT in [**2142**] due to HCV
cirrhosis with recurrent hep C (on peg-interferon) and ESRD on
dialysis who was admitted to OSH MICU for pneumonia and is now
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further management. She was in her
usual state of health until the day of admission ([**2143-12-15**]) when
she woke up with SOB and cough productive of frothy pink sputum.
.
In the OSH ED she was febrile to 101.2. CXR showed bilateral
infiltrates, new from CXR taken [**12-13**] in ED for evaluation of
possible rib fractures s/p fall. The patient subsequently
developed respiratory failure requiring intubation. She was
started on IV Zosyn and Azithromycin. Her course was
complicated by hypotension requiring Levophed, and IV Vancomycin
was started. She also developed atrial fibrillation with RVR
requiring IV Cardizem. Her RVR resolved and she was weaned off
pressors. On HD#3 (day of transfer) she was extubated without
difficulty. Her liver [**Month/Day (4) **] coordinator was [**Name (NI) 653**], and
agreed to have the patient transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management.
.
On transfer, initial vitals were T 96.3, HR 98, BP 113/60, RR
16, O2 sat 99% on 2L NC. She denies current SOB, but continues
to have occasional cough productive of brown sputum. She also

mediastinal venous engorgement is more pronounced and there is
persistent pulmonary [**Month/Day/Year 1106**] plethora. Edema in the left lung
is mild. On the right side, there are larger areas of perihilar
opacification which could be the residual of what was previously
more widespread edema, or could be pneumonia or hemorrhage in
the right lung. It would be very helpful to have recent prior
chest radiographs.

pneumothorax. Pleural effusion, if any, is not appreciable in
size.
Brief Hospital Course:
60 year old female with a history of hepatitis C complicated by
cirrhosis s/p OLT in [**2142**], with recurrent hep C (on
peg-interferon), and ESRD on dialysis who was admitted to OSH
MICU for pneumonia and transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management.
.
#Pneumonia: Patient transferred from outside hospital with
RML/RLL pneumonia, status-post two-day intubation for
respiratory failure. Patient was treated for health care
associated pneumonia because of her ongoing dialysis treatments.
On arrival to the MICU she was afebrile with stable vital
signs, breathing comfortably on NC. She was continued on IV
vancomycin from OSH and her zosyn/azithromycin was changed to IV
cefepime/flagyl. She was transferred to the liver service. On
the floor, the patient breathed comfortably on room air with
vast improvement in her cough. She was continued on
ipratroprium nebs for dyspnea and incentive spirometry. She was
treated with a lidocaine patch to her right chest for rib pain
to prevent further splinting. The patient was discharged on
vancomycin with hemodialysis and levofloxacin to complete a
14-day antibiotic course.
.
# Hep C cirrhosis status-post OLT with recurrent hepatitis C:
Currently on peginterferon for hepatitis C. On sirolimus and
mycophenolate following OLT. Sirolimus levels and LFTs remained
stable throughout admission. The patient was continued on
single-strength bactrim for prophylaxis. She will follow up in
the [**Hospital1 **] clinic upon discharge.
.
# Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response: The
patient has a history of atrial fibrillation, on propafenone,
diltiazem, and aspirin 325mg daily s/p ablation x 2. The
patient had self-discontinued use of coumadin in [**2141**], as she
did not want further blood draws. On admission to the outside
hospital, the patient was reported to have rapid ventricular
response controlled with IV diltiazem. On the liver service,
the patient had several episodes of symptomatic rapid
ventricular response with rates to the 120's to 150's. The
patient was seen by electrophysiology, who recommended an
increase in diltiazem and discontinuation of propafenone. Her
rates improved. The patient was discharged on diltiazem 240 ER
and ASA 325 daily. She will follow up with her outpatient
cardiologist on discharge.
.
# Hypothyroidism: Stable. The patient was continued on home
levothyroxine throughout admission.

Date of Birth: [**2112-2-13**] Sex: F
Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ms. [**Known lastname 18654**] is a 46-year-old
female whose only significant medical history is her
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for seven years.
On the day of admission she presented to the [**Hospital1 346**] for an elective ablation of her
atrial fibrillation as well as atrial flutter ablation. Her
procedure was complicated by hypotension and bradycardia
requiring pressors, initially dopamine which led to
tachycardia and then was changed to Neo-Synephrine.
Originally, these symptoms were thought to be medication
related. STAT echocardiogram showed no pericardial effusion,
good left ventricular function. The patient subsequently
developed right lower quadrant tenderness and an emergent
abdominal CT was performed which revealed a retroperitoneal
bleed with additional bleeding into the abdomen. A surgical
consultation was obtained, and the patient was transferred to
the Coronary Care Unit for further management.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Significant for atrial fibrillation
and atrial flutter.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Toprol 75 mg p.o. q.d. and
Coumadin (which had been stopped a day or two prior to the
procedure).
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is married, works as an importer
of linens. Denies tobacco. Denies alcohol.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: The patient was pale
and tired but in no acute distress. Vital signs included a
blood pressure of 106 to 120s/31 to 60s, pulse 70s to 80s,
satting 100% on room air, afebrile. Neck was supple with no
jugular venous distention. Cardiac examination revealed a
regular rate and rhythm. No murmurs, rubs or gallops. Lungs
were clear to auscultation bilaterally. Abdominal
examination was soft with slight tenderness in the right
lower quadrant, suprapubic. No rebound. Positive bowel
sounds. Extremities had no edema. Groin had access sites in
the femoral area which was healing. No acute bleed. No
hematoma.
LABORATORY DATA ON PRESENTATION: Laboratories on admission
included a hematocrit of 27.6 (it had been 35.8 on admission
that day and had been 33.3 on completion of the
electrophysiology study). Chem-7 was within normal limits.
INR was 1.5, PTT 23.8.
RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: Chest x-ray had no effusions, no
congestive heart failure.
Abdominal CT had shown a pelvic hematoma extending into the
right hemiabdomen and mesentery free intraperitoneal fluid,
consistent with hemoperitoneum.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. ABDOMINAL BLEED: The patient was stable on admission. A
central line cordis was inserted, and the patient was
transfused 4 units of blood overnight which bumped her
hematocrit to 33. She was then observed and given aggressive
fluid hydration, and on hospital day two had shown no further
decrease in hematocrit. Her blood pressure had remained
stable. She was not on any pressors, and she was deemed safe
to go to the floor. She was sent to the floor, and her
hematocrits were monitored daily until the day of discharge
and remained stable that entire time. Her abdominal pain
resolved, and it was presumed that any bleeding which had
occurred had resolved at the time of discharge.
2. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION/FLUTTER: The patient was in sinus
rhythm when she was admitted to the Coronary Care Unit and
remained this way until hospital day two when she had an
episode of atrial tachycardia documented by
electrocardiogram. It was decided through consultation with
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 73**] to start her on Norpace for this, which was
done. Additionally, she was started on Lopressor. Despite
this, she continued throughout her hospital stay to have
episodes of atrial tachycardia. She was symptomatic from
these in that she felt palpitations and lightheadedness,
although her blood pressure never significantly dropped.
Orthostatics were checked several times, and she would have
approximately 10-mm drops in systolic blood pressures going
from sitting to standing.
On the day of discharge, the patient's hematocrit was stable.
She was not orthostatic. At the time of discharge, she was
in sinus rhythm and had been so for approximately 18 hours.
It was decided through consultation with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 73**] that
it was okay to send her home. We will send her out on
control-released Norpace 200 mg p.o. b.i.d. and
metoprolol 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. She will also be sent home on
[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] of Hearts monitor and will follow up with
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 73**] in approximately two to three weeks.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was stable.
DISCHARGE STATUS: To home.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Norpace (control released) 200 mg p.o. b.i.d.
2. Metoprolol 25 mg p.o. b.i.d.
DISCHARGE FOLLOWUP: Followup was with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 73**].

bleeding of unclear source who presents to the emergency room
with 4 days of "vaginal bleeding." Patient reports that she
first noted that she was bleeding on Saturday. It was primarily
bright red blood in the toilet bowel with stool with associated
fecal urgency. She denies abdominal pain. This is similar to her
episode of gastrointestal bleeding in [**2116-5-24**] but not as
profuse. The bleeding has continued over the past three days. It

saline. She had a CXR which showed no acute process. She had a
normal EKG. She had two 20 g IVs placed and one liter of PRBCs
was hung. Vaginal exam was within normal limits. Rectal exam
showed no external hemorroids and gross blood at the anus. She
was hemodynamically stable throughout her time in the ER. She
was admitted to the MICU for further management.
.
Upon arrival to the MICU she denied any complaints. Her
lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain and dyspnea have
resolved. Her last bowel movement was morning of admission. She
denies nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain. No dysuria or

Brief Hospital Course:
MICU COURSE:
Patient presented with a hematocrit of 21 down from her baseline
of ~35. Gastroenterology was consulted and reported that this
was a likely diverticular bleed given her history of
diverticulosis on colonoscopies in the past. She was to be
treated conservatively with transfusions and monitoring. She
received a total of 4 units of packed red blood cells following
admission and had an appropriate HCT bump to 31.6. Serial HCTs
on [**2117-3-31**] revealed stabilized of her HCT at ~30 prior to
transfer to the floor. Her initial episode of chest pain in the
ED was not repeated following resuscitation with PRBCs. She had
a rule out for MI with three serial sets of cardiac enzymes with
downtrending CKs and normal troponins throughout. Concerning her
chronic kidney disease, at presentation she was at her baseline
Cr of approximately 1.3 and this fell to 1.1 on morning prior to
transfer out of MICU. Given her unknown volume status, her home
antihypertensives were initially held and after assurance of
stable hemodynamics, she was restarted on lisinopril. Concerning
her diabetes, she was managed with a lower dose of lantus given
that she was NPO when presenting to the unit. After
stabilization of her HCT, she began a diet of clears that was to
be advanced as tolerated. In the MICU the patient had no bowel
movements and was hemodynamically stable throughout her stay in
the MICU. She was feeling well when transferred out of the MICU.
.
MEDICINE FLOOR COURSE:
Patient had several red, guaiac positive BMs on the floor but
remained Hd stable and did not receive any further transfusions.
On the day of discharge, patient had guaiac postive stools that
was brown. Her lisinopril and metoprolol were continued but HCTZ
was held. Patient also had her ASA held given GIB with plan to
restart when she follows up with her PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) 131**] next week. She
was restarted on her home dose of Lantus on the floor and was
managed on an insulin sliding scale.

History of Present Illness:
History of Present Illness: Mr. [**Known lastname 13639**] is 87M with history of
dementia, diastolic CHF (EF%60), HTN who presented s/p fall.
The patient was taking a shower at 3AM this morning when her son
her a pounding sound. The patient's son found the patient
laying on the floor of the shower; unsure if there was LOC. The
patient reports that he was in the shower this morning when he
slipped and fell; denies hitting his head. Denies any chest
pain, denies any shortness of breath. Denies having any light
headedness or dizziness.
In the ED, initial VS were 91/68 90 RR 34. While in the ED, the
patient's only complaint was back pain, which moved after he was
transferred off stretcher. The patient was noted to be
tachycardic to the 160s by EMS. Of note, as per report, the
patient was given Dilt by EMS during transit to [**Hospital1 18**].
The patient was intermittently tachycardic while in the ED with
heart rates to the 110s. His pressures dropped as low as the 60s
systolic; the patient responded to IVF with pressures recovering
to the 90-100s. However, his pressures soon dropped again into
the 70s and a R IJ was placed and the patient was started on
Levophed. The patient was also initially 86% on RA, and
maintained his sats on face mask. The patient also had multiple
imaging studies done, with no e/o acute source of infection, or
any acute intracranial pathology. Labs notable for white count
of 14, lactate of 5.8. EKG with e/o LBBB c/w priors, Scarbossa
criteria negative. In total the patient received 3L IVF, and
was given Vanc/Cefepime, in addition to being started on
Levophed.
On ROS, the patient denies having any fevers/chills. Denies any
shortness of breath, no trouble breathing. Denies any chest
pain. Denies any nausea/vomiting, no abdominal pain. Denies
any coughing. Denies any pain or burning with urination.
On arrival to the MICU, patient's VS 94.5 124/59 62 24 100% on

IMAGING:
-----------
CT C SPINE:
1. No evidence of acute fracture.
2. Extensive degenerative changes in the cervical spine, worse
from C2 through C7 levels, with multilevel moderate spinal canal
stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing.
3. A 2.3 cm calcified right thyroid lobe nodule.
-----------
NCHCT:
No evidence of hemorrhage or recent infarction. Old right
parietal and frontal infarctions. Severe involutional changes.
-----------
CT TORSO:
1. No acute traumatic injury identified in the chest, abdomen
and pelvis.
2. Extensive atherosclerotic disease of the thoracoabdominal
aorta, with
ectasia of the infrarenal aorta measuring 2.7 cm. High-grade
stenosis at the right renal artery origin. Extensive coronary
arterial calcification.
3. A 4 mm right upper lobe pulmonary nodule. If the patient
does not have risk factors for lung cancer, no further followup
is required. In the presence of risk factors, followup chest
CT in a year is recommended.
4. Mild small airways wall thickening especially in the left
lower lobe,
suggestive of bronchitis.
5. Cholelithiasis.
----------
ECHO:
The left atrium is dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
are normal. The left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed
(LVEF= XX %). The right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated
with borderline normal free wall function. 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. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate [2+]
tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mild biventricular dilation with mild biventricular
global hypokinesis. Moderate mitral regurgitation. Moderate
tricuspid regurgitation. Moderate pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2128-4-27**], the
severity of tricuspid regurgitation has increased. Estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressures are slightly higher. The
right ventricle was probably mildly dilated with borderline
systolic function on the prior echo also.
Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment and Plan: Mr. [**Known lastname 13639**] is 87M with history of dementia,
diastolic CHF (EF%60), HTN who presented s/p fall found to have
elevated white count and lactate in the ED, as well as some
hypotension who was started on Levophed.
# Hypotension: The patient was found to be hypotensive in the ED
in the settting of elevated lactate and white count. He had
been afebrile, as per report, with no clear evidence of source
of infection. CXR negative for any acute pulmonary process, UA
negative for nitrite/leuks; cultures NGTD at discharge. The
patient also had e/o skin abrasion on lower back -- not
infected. Lactate initially elevated to 5.8 with acute rise in
creatinine as below. Patient initially required levophed which
was quickly weaned once in the MICU. He was started on levoquin
out of concern for possible respiratory process seen on CT
chest, but this was stopped after further review. LENIs were
performed for evalaution of possible pulmonary embolism causing
his symptoms and were negative. All of the patient's lab
abnormalities corrected with IV fluid arguing for hypovolemia
rather than sepsis as no source of infection could be
identified.
.
# Acute renal failure: The patient had a baseline creat of 0.9;
1.7 on presentation. Urine lytes suggestive of prerenal,
corrected with volume resusitation.
.
# Troponin leak with atrial flutter and RVR: The patient was
noted to have troponin of 0.07; baseline 0.02. No chest pain,
peaked at 0.17, cardiology consulted felt related to demand,
ECHO unchanged from prior. The patient has previously refused
treatment of his tachy-brady syndrome, so no changes were made
to his medications. He had no further issues during this
hospitalization.
.
# Elevated CK: likely from small amount of rhabdo due to fall.
Was resolving at discharge.
.
# Hypoxia: The patient was initially noted to be hypoxic in the
ED satting 86% on RA. He was transferred to the unit on 50%
high flow mask. He was easily weaned to room air.
.
# S/p fall: The patient fell while in the shower; as per OMR
documentation, he apparently has fallen the shower before.
Based on history, it seems like this was a mechanical fall.
Trauma work up negative. Physical therapy cleared the patient
to go home with home PT, home nursing and home safety eval.
This plan was discussed extensively with the patient and his son
[**Name (NI) **] and both felt it was reasonable and safe.
.
# Dementia: The patient has history of dementia, independent
with his ADLs, but needs assistance with cooking, cleaning, etc.
There were no issues with this during the hospitalization.
# Diastolic CHF: no evidence of acute failure despite 4 L of
fluid resusitation. ECHO unchanged from prior.
.
# HTN: Stopped his HCTZ at discharge given that it likely
caused/exacerbated his dehydration that led to the fall.
# Other: A calcified thyroid nodule was seen on his CT spine,
and may require outpatient follow-up.

Facility:
[**Location (un) 86**] VNA
Discharge Diagnosis:
Dehydration leading to a fall
Dementia
Diastolic heart failure, ejection fraction 60%
Atrial flutter
Hypertension
Anemia not otherwise specified
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane).
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted after a serious fall at home, and were found
to have low blood pressure, fast heart rate and dehydration.
You were given intravenous fluids, and these problems resolved.
I suspect you fell due to dehydration -- you need to stay better
hydrated. You should be urinating several times a day, clear to
light yellow in color. If it's darker, you're dehydrated and
need to drink more. You are at risk for future falls and as a
result need home nursing, home physical therapy and a home
safety evaluation.
Followup Instructions:
2.3 cm calcified thyroid nodule seen on CT spine. [**Month (only) 116**] require
outpatient follow-up.

Date of Birth: [**2165-1-2**]
Sex: M
Service: NB
IDENTIFICATION: Baby boy [**Known lastname **] #1 is a 16-day old former 34-
week twin infant who is being discharged from the [**Hospital1 18**]
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
HISTORY: Baby boy [**Known lastname **] was born on [**2165-1-2**] as
the 2245-gram product of a 34-week twin gestation to a 32-
year-old gravida 2, para 1 (to 3) mother with [**Name (NI) 37516**] of [**2165-2-13**]. Prenatal laboratory studies included blood type O+,
antibody negative, RPR nonreactive, rubella immune, hepatitis
B surface antigen negative and group B strep unknown. The
pregnancy was notable for spontaneous monochorionic-diamniotic
twin gestation and was complicated by an 18-week ultrasound
showing growth discrepancy with oligohydramnios of one twin
and polyhydramnios of the other twin, consistent with
twin/twin transfusion syndrome. Mother was followed closely
by the maternal fetal medicine service and underwent amniotic
reduction at 18 weeks and again at 26 weeks. Amniotic fluid
volumes appeared to equilibrate following the procedure,
suggesting the possibility of an inadvertent septostomy.
Donor twin, initially labeled as twin A in utero and
subsequently found to be nonpresenting, remained growth
restricted underneath the 10th percentile but did show
appropriate interval growth. Doppler flow studies were
reassuring, and fluid has been seen in both bladders and
stomachs. Due to the presence of the growth restriction of
the donor twin and the twin-twin transfusion syndrome,
delivery was scheduled for today at 34 weeks by C-section.
Mother had been given a course of betamethasone 2 weeks
earlier. She was not in labor at the time of delivery and did
not receive intrapartum antibiotics. At delivery, twin #1
emerged vigorous with good tone; requiring only brief blow-by
oxygen. Apgars were 8 and 9. The infant was brought to the
NICU.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Weight 2245 grams, 50th
to 75th percentile; head circumference 32 cm, 50th to 75th
percentile; length 43.5 cm, 25th to 50th percentile. The
infant was an active premature infant with moderate
respiratory distress and was started on CPAP. Skin was warm
and pink. The facies were nondysmorphic. Fontanelles are soft
and flat. Ears and nares were normal. Palate was intact. Neck
was supple without lesions. Chest was coarse with moderate
aeration and moderate retractions and flaring. Cardiac was
regular rate and rhythm without murmurs. Abdomen was soft
without hepatosplenomegaly and with no masses. Umbilical cord
had 3 vessels. Genitalia was that of a normal male with
testes descended bilaterally. Anus was patent. Hips and back
were normal. Tone and activity were appropriate.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
1. RESPIRATORY: The infant exhibited mild-to-moderate
respiratory distress syndrome and was treated with CPAP
support for 2 days. By day of life #2, the infant was
able to be weaned to room air and has remained in room
air since that time. The infant did not exhibit apnea of
prematurity, and no spells were noted.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: The infant remained hemodynamically
stable throughout admission. A murmur was noted prior to
discharge, and this was evaluated with a chest x-ray, EKG
and 4-extremity blood pressures; all of which were within
normal limits. No further evaluation was performed.
3. FEN: The infant was initially maintained on IV fluids.
Enteral feedings were introduced on day of life #2. These
were advanced without difficulty to full enteral feedings
with a maximum caloric density of 24 calories per ounce.
By the time of discharge, the infant is feeding breast
milk supplemented to 24 calories per ounce or Similac 24
calories per ounce, all p.o. on an ad lib basis with
adequate intake and adequate weight gain. Urine and stool
output have been normal. Discharge weight was 2370 gm.
4. GI: The infant did exhibit hyperbilirubinemia of
prematurity, treated with phototherapy for 48 hours.
Maximum bilirubin level was 11.2 on day of life #5.
5. ID: The infant did undergo a sepsis evaluation following
delivery with an unremarkable CBC and a negative blood
culture. The infant received 48 hours of antibiotics,
which were then discontinued.
6. HEMATOLOGY: Hematocrit at birth was 45.2.
Repeat hematocrit on [**1-17**] was 36.2 with a
reticulocyte count of 1.3%. The infant has been treated
with iron supplementation.
7. NEUROLOGY: The infant has maintained a normal neurologic
exam throughout admission.
8. SENSORY: The infant passed the hearing screen prior to
discharge.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Home.
PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 38832**] [**Hospital 50079**].
CARE AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Diet: Breast milk or Similac supplemented to 24 calories
per ounce and then switch to breast feeding.
2. Medications: Fer-In-[**Male First Name (un) **] 2 mg/kg/day.
3. State newborn screening status: Initial State newborn
screen on [**1-5**] reported an elevated 17-OH
progesterone level. A repeat specimen was sent on
[**1-9**], results of which are pending at the time of
discharge. Electrolytes were checked at that time, and
they were within normal limits.
4. Car seat position screening was performed and passed.
5. Immunizations: The infant received synagis and hepatitis B
vaccine [**Date range (1) 69929**].
6. Immunizations recommended:
1. Synagis RSV prophylaxis should be considered from
[**Month (only) **] through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of
the following 3 criteria: (1) born at less than 32
weeks; (2) born between 32 and 35 weeks with 2 of the
following: Daycare during RSV season, a smoker in the
household, neuromuscular disease, airway
abnormalities, or school-age siblings; or (3) with
chronic lung disease.
2. Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the
Fall for all infants once they reach 6 months of age.
Before this age (and for the first 24 months of the
child's life) immunization against influenza is
recommended for household contacts and out-of-home
caregivers.
7. Follow-up appointments: The infant will follow up with
primary pediatrician 3 days after discharge. A VNA
referral will be made.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Prematurity at 34 weeks.
2. Twin gestation.
3. Presumed recipient twin of twin-twin transfusion
syndrome.
4. Respiratory distress syndrome.
5. Hyperbilirubinemia of prematurity.
6. Sepsis evaluation.
7. Physiologic murmur.

Chief Complaint:
Dyspnea and hypoxia following resection of left renal mass
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
L nephrectomy
Bronchoscopy
History of Present Illness:
This is a 41 year old man with a PMH significant for Factor V
Leiden mutation, who is now POD2 s/p resection of a left renal
mass, who had episodes of oxygen desaturation on the floor and
for whom a CT showed likely mucus plugging. He was transferred
to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for planned bronchoscopy by the interventional
pulmonology service.
.
He originally presented with back pain and in the process of
workup for this got an MRI which incidentally showed a 2 cm left
renal mass. A CT scan confirmed the presence of the mass. He
came to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] for urological follow-up, who scheduled and,
on [**4-22**], performed an open partial nephrectomy to resect the
mass. This included chest tube placement in the left; the chest
tube was pulled [**4-23**]. At midnight [**Date range (1) 62333**], he had a trigger on
the floor for hypoxia and fever, with temp 102.2 and O2
saturation of 87% on 3.5L NC. This increased to 92% with 5L NC
and use of an incentive spirometer. At that time, the covering
MD noted that he was "asymptomatic" without SOB, CP, dyspnea,
N/V, chills, or calf pain. An ABG at that time was 7.38/52/74 on
5L NC.
.
A PE protocol CT chest was ordered stat, and a provisional read
showed "Small left pneumothorax... [and] obstructive atelecatsis
of the left lower lobe and right middle and lower lobe due to
fillings of the lower lobe bronchi, most likely mucous plug."
.
An EKG done around that time appears to show diffuse T-wave
flattening compared to his earlier pre-op EKG but otherwise
without diagnostic focal changes.
.
On the floor today, he continued to be febrile for much of the
day, with Tmax of 102.8 at 1415; he continued to require oxygen
support of 5L NC with 40% facemask for much of the day, with
oxygen saturations in the mid 90s to this. He was also
tachycardic to the 110s-120s for most of the day.

CTA:
IMPRESSION:
1. Given a borderline suboptimal study, there is no pulmonary
embolism to the
segmental level.
2. Obstruction of the bronchus intermedius and all segmental
bronchi of the
left lower lobe, likely due to mucus plugging, causing complete
collapse of
the middle lobe, right lower lobe, and almost all the left lower
lobe.
3. New dependent opacities in the left upper lobe, lingula and
less in the
right upper lobe, could be due to aspiration.
4. Left thyroid hypodensity, should be evaluated by ultrasound
if not already
known.
5. Extensive post-operative changes of left partial nephrectomy.
6. Small left pneumothorax.
Echo
The left atrium is elongated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. Regional left
ventricular wall motion is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Tissue Doppler imaging
suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP<12mmHg). The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation.
The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. No mitral
regurgitation is seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure
could not be determined. There is a small pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Normal global and regional
leftventricular systolic function. Mild left ventricular
hypertrophy. Right ventricle could not be adequately assessed.

Discharge Instructions:
-You were admitted to the hospital for partial removal of Left
kidney due to a mass, which turned out not be cancer. After
surgery you developed complications of mucus plugging and
pneumonia. You also developed an infection of your bowel called
C diff colitis. You finished the course of IV antibiotics for
the pneumonia. You will need to take 2 additional weeks of oral
vancomycin for the Cdiff colitis. If at the end of the oral
antibiotic course you are still having diarrehea, abdominal pain
or fevers, you need to let your doctor know as you may need
additional antibiotics.
You have hx of factor V leiden mutation which makes you
vulnerable to form blood clots especially around surgery, so per
your hematologist, you have been placed on coumadin which will
be continued for about 4-6 weeks after your surgery. Please
follow up with them regarding INR checks and coumadin adjustment
Please call your doctor right away or return to ED for fevers,

Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 69 year old male with a history of gastric ulcers,
HTN, HLD old CVA without deficits who had bloody emesis on
morning of admit.
Hematemesis: On admission, 2 large bore PIVs were placed and PPI
drip was initiated. NGT tube was placed and revealed about 200cc
of coffee ground emesis with some bright red blood. The BRB
cleared after 200cc NS was flushed. The patient's Hct fell from
a baseline of 41 to a nadir of 29. He was transfused a total of
3 units pRBCs. He underwent EGD which showed gastritis and a
non-bleeding ulcer in the duodenal apex which was injected with
epinephrine. The patient's antihypertensive medications were
held and he briefly needed NTG gtt for hypertension after volume
repletion. The patient had a single episode of temperatures to
101 during the time of transfusion. Blood culutres yielded no
growth prior to discharge. Following EGD, general surgery was
consulted who felt no surgical intervention was necessary.
Hematocrit stabilized and the patient required no further
transfusions. The patient'as diet was advanced and he tolerated
PO intake. He was switched to PO PPI [**Hospital1 **]. After positive H.
polyri antibody test, treatment for H. pylori was initiated with
Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin and PPI x 10 days. He will follow up
in [**Hospital **] clinic after discharge.
ECG changes: On the day of arrival, the patient had mild ST
depressions inferior/laterally which resolved with pRBC
transfusion and were not assoicated with CE leak. They were
likely related to demand in setting of bleed. Miocardial
infarction was ruled out by negative cardiac biomarkers.
HTN: Antihypertensives were transiently held in the setting of
GI bleed and re-started prior to discharge.
Hyperlipedemia: Atorvastatin was held in acute setting and
re-started after EGD.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital because you developed
lightheadedness, dizziness, vomited blood and had bleeding from
below. Tests performed at the hospital showed that you had a
bleed from your stomach or small intestine. An endoscopy was
performed to look for the source or bleeding and located an
ulcer, which was injected with epinephrine to help stop bleed.
After the procedure, you were observed closely to make sure you
did not have a repeat bleed. However, your red blood cells
remained stable and there was no evidence of further bleeding.
You tested positive for bacteria known as H. pylori, which
causes ulcers in the small intestine. We prescribed you
medicine to eracidate this bacterium. You are now ready to be
discharged home.
We made the following changes to your medicaitons:
1. We prescribed you Pantoprazole 40mg [**Hospital1 **]. Please make sure to
take this medicine as directed to prevent repeat bleeds. Do not
stop it unless told specifically to do so by your doctor.
2. We started you on Amoxicillin 1 gram twice a day. Please take
it for 8 more days, for a total of 10 days of antibiotics.
3. We started you on Clarithromycin 500mg twice a day. Please
take it for 8 more days, for a total of 10 days.
4. We stopped your Aspirin. Please do not take that medicine
until told otherwise by your doctor.
Please continue to take all your other medications as
prescribed.
You have follow-up appointments with your GI doctor and in
[**Hospital 1944**] clinic (see below).
If you develop any of the concerning symptoms, such as
dizziness, lightheadedness, changes in vision, bleeding from
below or vomiting blood, black stools, worsening abdominal pain,
please return to the Emergency Department right away.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was initially treated for severe hyperglycemia in
the ICU, and once stable, transferred to the [**Location (un) **] Chief
Medicine Service for further evaluation of his symptoms and
underlying medical problems. During his admission, he was noted
to have severe HTN, and received surgical intervention for his
renal artery stenosis. He was also noted to be hypoxic on finger
pulse oximetry to 85% RA, leading to a workup for causes of this
hypoxia which was most likely [**2-7**] venous/arterial mixing of
blood in his extremities due to b/l shunts and grafts. SaO2 as
measured on his ear was much improved. His creatinine levels
rose slightly after the procedure, with concern for renal
toxicity from surgical contrast. CT scan was remarkable for a
small soft tissue mass in the area of his L nephrectomy, with
concern for malignancy. Renal team recommended f/u with repeat
CT scan in three months.
<BR>
1) Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Hyperglycemia: Upon initial
presentation to the [**Name (NI) **], pt. had glucose of 837. He had been
symptomatic for hyperglycemia for past several weeks
(polydipsia, polyuria, malaise). Pt was not on medications for
DM2 prior to admission. In [**2100**], he was noted to be
hyperglycemic, but this was thought to be [**2-7**] his Prograf and
this medication was changed. Random glucose in [**Month (only) 1096**] had been
measured at 214. His hyperglycemia was likely exacerbated by his
steroid medications. Other possibilities included viral syndrome
or bacterial bronchitis, although blood and urine Cxs were
negative. There was also a possibility that the renal artery
stenosis, combined with mild dehydration, could have lead to a
pre-renal azotemia that compounded the underlying hyperglycemia.
<BR>
The pt. was aggressively hydrated in the ICU and started on an
insulin drip until glucose levels returned to baseline. He was
then transferred to the floor with a RISS and followed by the
[**Last Name (un) **] endocrine service for modifications to his sliding scale.
Prior to d/c, pt. was educated about the use of insulin and
symptoms of hyper/hypoglycemia.
<BR>
2) HTN: Pt. stated that his BP has not been well controlled for
a long time, and that the loss of his R kidney had originally
been due to HTN. He was on an extensive list of medications for
bp at home, including amlodipine, clonidine, lisinopril,
valsartan, furosomide, and metoprolol. These medications were
optimized when possible, and hydralazine and nitro prn were also
added to his regimen. Metoprolol was switched to labetalol in
consult with the renal service out of concern for a paradoxical
interaction between his beta-blocker and the alpha-agonist. It
was thought that the beta-2 agonism and alpha-1 antagonism
effects of labetalol would avoid the risk of unopposed alpha-2
vasoconstriction. When his pressures remained elevated to the
190s on this aggressive regimen, interventional cardiology was
consulted to evaluate his known renal artery stenosis.
<BR>
A renal artery stent was placed on [**1-30**], at which time it was
determined that the stenosis had occluded 90% of the renal
artery, with a 30mmHg pressure gradient across the stenosis. His
bps were much improved the next day, and he was able to come off
of the nitro. Gradually, he was also taken off of his [**Last Name (un) **],
ACE-I, and hydralazine as SBPs remained 120s-140s out of concern
for preserved renal function.
<BR>
3) Hypoxia/SOB: The pt. complained of chest tightness upon
admission, and was ruled out for MI with three sets of cardiac
enzymes, EKGs, and telemetry. He had an ECHO which did not show
any acute processes. His symptoms resolved without intervention.
Once out of the ICU, the pt. was noted to have mild SOB on
occasion in the AM, stating he found it easier to breathe when
sitting upright. His O2 sats as measured on his fingers were
typically lowest overnight and in the AM, down to 85% on room
air, and ranging from 89-97% on 4LPM via nasal cannula. His O2
sat did not drop appreciably upon ambulation. Ddx for his SOB
was considered to be infectious/PNA/PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. fluid overload vs.
cardiac vs. PE vs. OSA/obestity-hypoventilaion syndrome. He
stated that IV fluids made his SOB worse, but CXR showed no
acute process and physical exam showed clear lung sounds
throughout. The pt. was monitored with telemetry and EKGs to
monitor cardiac activity. The pt. was evaluated for PE w/ a V/Q
scan (CTA contraindicated given decreased renal function).
Blood/urine cultures were obtained and negative at 48 hours,
without evidence for an infectious process. An ABG showed
hypercapnea, hyperoxemia, and a normal pH and A-a gradient. The
level of hyperoxemia did not correlate with the SaO2 as measured
on the pulse oximeter on his fingers bilaterally. An oximeter
was applied to his ear, which indicated an SaO2 in the
middle-to-high 90s on RA, which better fit his clinical picture.
<BR>
A sleep study from the medical record had remarked about his
nocturnal hypoxia and symptoms concerning for OSA. Pt. was not
using CPAP/BiPAP at home as had been recommended. He was started
on BiPAP prior to discharge, with improvement in his oxygenation
and symptoms.
<BR>
4) Anemia: The pt. had a fall in hematocrit from 35.9 -> 29.6 on
the day following his cath. This was concerning for a femoral or
RP bleed, which was ruled out with a non-contrast CT. Crit
remained constant after the initial drop, and the retic count
was appropriately elevated.
<BR>
5) OSA: Pt previously had a sleep study at [**Hospital1 **] showing very bad
OSA. He has pHTN, daytime sleepiness, and apnea/[**Last Name (un) 6055**] [**Doctor Last Name 6056**]
breathing while sleeping. He was started on BiPAP while in
hospital and scheduled for follow-up in the sleep clinic.
<BR>
6) S/P Renal Transplant: Pt was continued on his home doses of
CellCept, Rapamune, and prednisone while in hospital. His
rapamycin trough was found to be within the therapeutic range.
His creatinine rose gradually on the days following his stent
placement, which was concerning for contrast toxicity. The rise
was gradual, however, and pt. was not thought to be in renal
failure or have the need for HD. He will need creatinine levels
monitored as an outpt.
<BR>
7) Soft Tissue Mass: A 14mm x 8mm soft tissue mass in the area
of the pt's L nephrectomy was seen on CT. This could be old
scarring, but given pt.'s Hx of RCC, could be malignancy. No CT
scan was available for comparison, so pt. was recommended to
repeat the CT in three months.
<BR>
8) FEN: Pt. was monitored with daily lytes, and repleted as
necessary. He was kept on a Cardiac/Diabetic diet. RISS was
initiated as described above.
<BR>
9) Access: Given difficultly of placing peripheral lines and
need for hydration/medications/procedure, pt. had a PICC placed.
It was removed prior to discharge.
<BR>
10) Code: Pt was FULL CODE on this admission.

Brief Hospital Course:
84 yo M with PMH of CVA w/residual weakness, CAD s/p stent, h/o
COPD, h/o aspiration PNA and chronic pleural effusion/LLL
collapse presenting with worsened dyspnea and cough over two
weeks, with new Afib w/RVR in the ED.
MICU Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted to the MICU with worsening and cough for
2 weeks in the setting of Afib with RVR. His SOB was in the
setting of new onset afib and an 8lb weight gain and it was
believed to due to afib. He was started on PO Diltiazem 15mg PO
QID but he had converted back to sinus rhythm by the time he
arrived in the ICU. He was continued on low dose Diltiazem for
control of his afib. His amlodipine was stopped due to
borderline hypotension in the setting of afib. He was continued
on his home COPD regimen of Spiriva and Atrovent and also
treated with Albuterol. He is being discharged on albuterol PRN.
Sputum and blood cultures were obtained and were negative.
Urine legionella was ordered and was negative. He was given an
insulin sliding scale for his diabetes. His blood pressure
stayed in the 120s-130s/50s and heart rate remained in the 70s
throughout his MICU stay.
.
# GI Bleed: The patient was transferred to the floor. He had
been started on a heparin drip and coumadin because of his A
fib. He began to pass blood and maroon stool through his
ostomy, and thus his heparin and coumadin was stopped. His HCT
nadired at 25.9 and gradually increased without blood
transfusion to 27.1. His HCT on admission was 30.7. The maroon
stool resolved and the patient was passing only brown stool and
no blood for the last 3 days prior to discharge. The goals of
care were discussed with patient and he did not want aggressive
care and he did not want a colonoscopy to investigate the source
of the bleeding.
.
#Dyspnea/cough: The patient's dyspnea and cough were likely due
to his COPD exacerbation in conjunction with his chronic lung
disease. He has known pleural effusion and long standing
emphysema. His atrial fibrillation likely exacerbated his
dyspnea by causing some mild pulmonary edema. The patient has
CHF and had an 8 lb weight gain before admission suggesting an
element of heart failure. He was treated for a COPD
exacerbation with prednisone 60mg x 3 days. He was given
spiriva, atrovent, and albuterol PRN and was discharged on these
medications. The patient is at high risk for aspiration and
understands the risk of aspiration but has decided to eat a
regular diet. His oxygen saturation was 99% on 2L at the time
of discharge. Please use humidified oxygen as pt requests this
for comfort given that pt has very dry throat.
.
# Afib w/RVR - He presented in A fib with RVR in the ED. He was
placed on diltiazem. He was in NSR in the unit and has been
since. He should be continued on the diltiazem. His amlodipine
was stopped.
.
# CKD - The patient renal function slightly worsened while in
the hospital with a creatinine of 2.1 from a baseline of 1.9.
He was given 1L of NS given that this was thought to be
prerenal. His creatinine returned to his baseline of 1.9 prior
to discharge. The patient was continued on metolazone.
.
# Type 2 DM - The patient had several days of high blood sugars,
at times greater than 500, in the setting of being on
prednisone. His NPH was increased during this time. He was
discharged on his home regimen of NPH. His glipizide was held
while in the hospital and restarted on discharge.
.
# Hypertension - The patient has been normotensive since
admission. He was on amlodipine as an out patient and is now on
diltiazem.
.
# Skin Ulcer - The patient has a stage II cocyx ulcer which
should be cared for as follows: clean with wound cleanser and
pat dry. Use no sting barrier to wipe peri wound tissue and let
dry. Then apply wound gel and cover with Allevyn foam dressing
which should be changed q 3 days. The patient should be turned
q2hrs and as needed. He should also be getting up out of bed to
his chair. Sitting time should be limited to 1 hr at a time
with a 4 inch foam cushion. He also has skin tears between his
thumb and first finger bilaterally which should be cared for as
follows: on hands bilaterally between thumbs and first finger
has skin tears. Apply aquaphor and 4 x 4 to cover. This should
be changed daily.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the intensive care unit with Atrial
fibrillation. This lead to some difficulty breathing. You were
also found to have a COPD exacerbation which was treated with
prednisone. You now are only requiring your baseline amount of
oxygen of 2L. Being on the prednisone caused your blood sugars
to be high but they have greatly improved. Because of your A
fib you were started on a blood thinner which caused you to
bleed into your ostomy bag. You decided that you did not want
anything invasive done by gastroenterology. Your
anticoagulation was stopped and you understand the risks of not
being anticoagulated. Please return to the hospital if you
develop blood in your ostomy, worsening shortness of breath, or
any other new concerning symptom.
Followup Instructions:
Please follow up with a physician at your nursing facility.

18, and 96% O2 saturation on room air. Chest examination:
lungs are clear to auscultation. Heart is a regular rhythm.
There are no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. Abdominal
examination: Obese, nontender, and nondistended, bowel
sounds diminished x4, no bruits. Vascular examination:
Carotids without bruits. Left brachial artery site of angio
without hematoma, clean, dry, and intact. Pulse examination

The patient has 1+ femorals on the right with no pulses
palpable distal to the femorals on the right. Neurologically
she is grossly intact.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the
preoperative holding area on [**2108-3-28**], and she underwent a
right axillofem bypass which was complicated by
intraoperative ischemic ST changes. Transesophageal
echocardiogram showed essentially only lateral minimal wall
motion and with lateral wall being akinetic to hypokinetic.
The patient was admitted to the SICU, intubated for continued
vasopressor and respiratory support. The patient required
dobutamine at 3 mcg/kg/min for pressor support, IV Heparin
was begun, serial enzymes were obtained.
Postoperative hematocrit was 35.7 which drifted to 31.3. BUN
and creatinine remained stable at 19 and 0.4. Initial CK was
105 with a MB of 1 and troponin less than 0.30
.................... troponins remaining flat. Cardiology
was requested to assist in patient management and management
of her paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Recommendations were
continue hydration, hold diuresis. They could increase her
metoprolol to 75 tid. Echocardiogram was obtained which
showed an ejection fraction of 10%.
Patient was transferred after extubation to the VICU for
continued monitoring and care. By postoperative day three,
her diet was advanced to tolerated. She continued with
aggressive pulmonary toilet. Her Swan was discontinued, and
she remained in the VICU for continuing monitoring and
surveillance. Physical Therapy to see the patient and felt
that she would require rehabilitation once she is medically
stable.
As she continued to have episodes of atrial
fibrillation/flutter, which eventually was controlled with
increasing her beta blockade. The patient required
manipulation of her ACE inhibitors and beta blockers to
improve her rate control. She remained on perioperative
Levaquin while lines were in place. She was transferred to
the regular nursing floor on postoperative day number eight.
Often blood pressure systolically is 120-150, and they felt
from their standpoint that she was at a bed at
rehabilitation, they can be discharged from their standpoint.
Remaining hospital course is unremarkable.
At the time of discharge, lungs were clear, dry, and intact.
She had a functioning axobifem graft. The patient should
follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1391**] in two weeks time. She is then
to followup with her primary care physician once discharged

PHYSICAL EXAM:
GCS 9T E: 3 V: 1T Motor 5
O: T: BP:112/76 HR: 82 R 16 O2Sats 98
HEENT: laceration to left forehead
Neuro: intubated via tracheostomy, sedation recently initiated
w/
propofol, EO to voice, non-verbal, pupils [**3-12**] bilaterally, cough
and gag in tact, following simple commands, moving all
extremities, toes equivocal bilaterally
On discharge - he is awake and alert o x 3/ non verbal at
baseline due to laryngectomy and tracheostomy stoma. His pupils
are [**4-13**] bilaterally, EOMI, no facial and tongue is midline. His
motor strength is near full throughout and somewhat effort
dependent. His facial laceration / abrasion is clean / sutures
intact. He is attentive and follows commands readily.
Pertinent Results:
[**2194-12-29**] CTA
CT HEAD: There is evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage in
bilateral frontal
and right parietal lobes. Small amount of blood is also seen in
bilateral
lateral ventricles. There is no hydrocephalus or midline shift.
Note is made of soft tissue swelling in the left preseptal and
facial soft tissues. There is no acute intracranial infarction.
Ventricles and sulci appear age appropriate. Bilateral vertebral
artery and intracranial carotid artery calcifications are seen.
CTA HEAD: Atherosclerotic changes are seen in bilateral
vertebral and
cavernous and supraclinoid ICAs. There is no significant
stenosis, occlusion, dissection or aneurysm formation.
IMPRESSION: Mild increase in Subarachnoid and intraventricular
hemorrhage as described above with left preseptal and facial
soft tissue swelling. Pattern of hemorrhage is compatible with
history of trauma. CTA head reveals no significant vascular
stenosis or aneurysm formation.
[**2194-12-30**] CT BRAIN
FINDINGS: Subarachnoid hemorrhage overlying both cerebral
hemispheres, right greater than left, is not significantly
changed in quantity compared to the previous study from [**12-29**], [**2194**].
IMPRESSION:
1. No significant interval change in the overall quantity of
subarachnoid
hemorrhage overlying the cerebral hemispheres, right greater
than left.
Similarly, the quantity of intraventricular hemorrhagic
extension is not
significantly changed, allowing for redistribution. Decrease in
the previously noted left temporal extra-axial hemorrhage. ( se

CXR
Final Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with
intracranial
hemorrhage.
Portable AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed with no prior
studies
available for comparison.
The patient is after tracheostomy placement with the tip of
tracheostomy being 4.5 cm above the carina. There is a pacemaker
in the left hemithorax with its leads terminating in the
expected location of right atrium and right ventricle. The
assessment of the cardiac silhouette demonstrates mild
cardiomegaly. There is also presence of the mediastinal shift to
the left, most likely due to left lower lobe atelectasis,
partially imaged. Patient is in mild interstitial edema.
Bibasilar atelectasis is seen as well. Infectious process in
the lung bases cannot be entirely excluded. Followup after
diuresis to assess the remaining opacities that might
potentially worrisome for infection is recommended.
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was seen and examined in the emergency room for LOC and
SAH/IVH after transfer from [**Hospital **] Hospital. He had a
tracheostomy in place related to history of esophageal cancer.
On arrival to the outside hospital he was stable and then
deteriortated. He was then connected to a ventilator for
support and transferred to [**Hospital1 18**]. (PLEASE NOTE: HE IS NOT ABLE
TO BE INTUBATED DUE TO LARYNGECTOMY / HE MUST HAVE A TRACH
PLACED FOR VENTILATION IF NEEDED) He was seen and admitted to
the ICU after trauma clearance. He was placed to trach mask the
following am and tolerated this well. Repeat imaging on [**12-30**]
was stable and he was transferred to the step down unit. On
[**12-31**] he remained stable and was transferred to floor status. He
tracheostomy was removed and his stoma is well healed and
remains intact. He was seen by PT OT ST and cleared for
discharge to rehab facility. The family is aware and agrees
with this plan.

At [**Hospital1 18**], Head CT showed obstructive hydrocephalus d/t colloid
cyst in foramen of [**Last Name (un) **]. Right ventricular drain was placed.
Initial clinical exam details unresponsiveness, absent
appendicular responses. MRI showed extensive bihemispheric
infarcts and persistent hydrocephalus of left lateral ventricle.
Bilateral ventricular drains were placed. Pt continued on
Dilantin and Nicardipine with no improvement in his neurologic
exam. CT showed On [**2145-1-28**] an increased hypodensity within the
parafalcine frontal lobes, and in the distribution of the

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **] year old female with h/o SVT, HTN, recent admission with LLL
PNA (discharged [**12-1**] on levo/flagyl), admitted from [**Hospital1 1501**] with
acute onset hypoxia/dyspnea/fevers 102, CXR with worsening LLL
PNA, which has now progressed to b/l PNA, clinical evidence of
aspirartion. Afebrile and mostly stable, but episodes of
clinical deterioration.
.
.
Pneumonia, admitted with acute hypoxic resp failure, much
improved. CXR with progressive infiltrates, LLL->now bilateral
(infection vs fluid). Acuity suggests component of aspiration
pneumonitis. Has resp and oral secretions, aspirating oral
secretions, but has trouble bringing up tracheal secretions
(weak cough) and requires deep suctioning. No fevers. White
count finally coming down. She will be treated to complete a 14
day course of vanc/zosyn.
.
Given likely aspiration risk, she had multiple swallow
evaluations, with evidence of aspiration. Based on family
discussion, there is a goal of primarily comfort for patient,
with thin liquids, despite risk of aspiration. If there is
evidence of significant coughing, further evaluation or
discussions regarding goals of care should continue with her
family.
.
.
Pleural effusions: developing over 3days, likely due to
tachycardia and fluid. Diuresis for the most part was deferred
further, given minimal oral intake.
.
.
Leukocytosis: She had a leukocytosis that worsened, likely due
to pneumonia. This had resolved by [**2150-12-12**].
.
Atrial fibrillation, with intermittent tachycardia: While in the
ICU, she had evidence of tachycardia, possibly atrial
fibrillation, which broke with IV metoprolol. She continued to
have intermittent episodes of tachycardia throughout her stay,
likely sinus tachycardia in the setting of mucous plugging and
anxiety. She was maintained on IV lopressor, and transitioned
on d/c to oral lopressor.
.
Contaminated UA: UA/UCx on admission wtih >100K yeast, foley
removed, 1 dose diflucan in MICU, but repeat UCx again >100K
yeast, though UA less WBC 50->6.
No treatment pursued.
.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was initially admitted to the unit because of
concern for hypotenstion in the ED. His SBPs were never lower
than the 80's but a central line was placed prior to his leaving
the ED. His pressures responded to fluid resuscitation and he
never required pressors. The patient was taken to ERCP on the
day of admission, the results of which are listed below. He
tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the floor.
His labs were checked the next day and his lipase was
decreasing. He was taken for laparoscopic cholecystectomy the
following day. His diet was then advanced as tolerated and his
pain was controlled with PO pain meds. He was ready for
discharge on HD4. His foley catheter was removed and the patient
voided.
RUQ/Liver US ([**2148-8-6**]) - Intra and extrahepatic biliary
dilation with intraductal sludge. Choledocholithiasis cannot be
excluded due to limitations of visualization.
ERCP or MRCP could be used for further evaluation. Gallbladder
distention with sludge and wall thickening. Imaging findings
suggest cholecystitis. Clinical correlation is recommended as
son[**Name (NI) 493**] [**Name2 (NI) 515**] sign was negative; HIDA could be performed
to better evaluate for cholecystitis if clinically appropriate.
Trace ascites.
CXR ([**2148-8-6**]) - Multifocal opacities, worrisome for infection.
Right internal jugular central line with tip at cavoatrial
junction. Pulmonary vascular congestion. Cardiomegaly, which may
be in part due to pericardial fluid.
ERCP ([**2148-8-6**]) - A moderate diffuse dilation was seen at the
main duct with the CBD measuring 13 mm. The intrahepatic ducts
were also dilated. The cystic duct filled with contrast.
Successful sphincterotomy. Biliary sludge was seen exiting the
ampulla along with very dark, almost black, bile. Otherwise
normal ercp to third part of the duodenum.

Brief Hospital Course:
43 year old female with diagnosis of a massive goiter is status
post total thyroidectomy on [**2100-8-18**]. Intraoperatively patient
was intubated and transferred to the intensive care unit for
observation as there were concerns that the patient may not be
able to maintain her airway due to preoperatively concerns that
the thyroid was compressing the airway. Over the night of her
operation she became hypotensive with systolic blood pressure to
the 80s and she was started on Dopamine drip this was ultimately
thought to be related to hypocalcemia. She was infused with 250
ml of albumin to which her systolic blood pressure responded and
she was successfully weaned off dopamine drip and was extubated
on [**2100-8-19**] and on room air. On [**2100-8-20**] she was transferred out of
the intensive care unit to the surgical inpatient unit.Of note,
she was noted to have extensive vulvar irritation and erythema
while in the intensive care unit and Gynecology were consulted
and provided recommendations.
On [**2100-8-21**] she her oxygen saturation was in the mid 90s on Room
air during the morning,and then triggered at noon time for O2
Sat of 85% Room air. Patient had no dyspnea and was
asymptomatic. She was placed on 1 to 4 liters via nasal cannula
to maintain her O2 sats. However patient continued to have an O2
Sat 90% on 3 liters nasal cannula. Therefore a chest xray was
done which was negative for pneumonia and chest scan was done
and was negative for pulmonary embolism. She was diuresed with
Lasix intravenously. She continued to have low grade temperature
99 up to 100.2, an electrocardiogram and continued to be
tachycardic, although denied dyspnea or chest pain.
On [**9-28**] she continued to have decrease Oxygen
saturation, mid 90's on 40-50% shovel mask. She received Lasix
20 mg intravenous and diuresed well. Overnight she was ordered
for blood transfusion for a hematocrit of 22 which was stopped
due to a rise in temperature from 99.2 to 100.2. She was
expectorating green and brown sputum and a sputum culture was
obtained. She has some intermittent productive sputum but
otherwise is dry and per the patient this is usually worse
during the night. A sputum culture and repeat chest Xray PA/Lat
was done to rule out pneumonia. The patient continued to have no
dyspnea, no respiratory distress and the oxygen was subsequently
weaned to 40% and her O2 sats 92% to 94%room air. She was
started empirically on Levofloxacillin but has no evidence of
lower respiratory tract infection. The pulmonary team were
consulted for etiology of hypoxia and recommendations. The
patient will follow-up with Pulmonology Outpatient for a bubble
study.
The patient has no nausea or emesis and diet was advanced from
clears to regular which was tolerated well. Her pain was well
controlled with oral analgesia. She is ambulating independently
with a steady gait. The neck incision with steri strips is
clean, dry and intact without erythema, there is edema in the
neck. She will follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] on [**2100-8-26**] for her postoperative visit. She will be discharged home on
Levothyroxine, Calcium carbonate and Calcitriol. She will
follow up with primary care provider and gynecology in [**12-12**] week.

Brief Hospital Course:
MICU Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 1007**] was admitted to the MICU with likely post-obstructive
PNA with elevated WBCs, productive cough and fever. A CTA
showed a lung mass but no clear infiltrate and was negative for
PE. ECGs initially were without ischemic changes and troponins
were negative. He was started on Vancomycin and Zosyn. He had
a thoracentesis which showed an exudate, cytology pending at
time of transfer. He initially required Levophed for blood
pressure but was able to be weaned off on [**2177-11-16**]. He was never
intubated. He was feeling well the day after admission and
asymptomatic with regards to the hypotension. Cultures were all
negative.
.
He also had Afib with RVR on presentation. He was initially
managed with Diltiazem gtt in the ED, then put on standing
Diltiazem in the MICU. He was transitioned to Metoprolol which
was titrated up to 75 mg PO TID. He had some occasional
episodes of rapid heart rate which were controlled with
additional doses of Metoprolol. He was loaded with Digoxin
0.25mg PO X 3 and then put on standing Digoxin of 0.125mg PO
qday. His rate was better controlled on transfer but
occasionally required additional Metoprolol for HR>120s. An ECG
showed some T wave inversions compared to admission his cardiac
enzymes were negative. He never complained of chest pain. He
had an echocardiogram which showed moderate pericardial effusion
without signs of tamponade.There was possible but not confirmed
pericarditis causing his symptoms and ECG findings.
.
He developed neutropenia with an ANC of 540 on the day of
transfer. He had been started on Neupogen on [**2177-11-18**]. He was
afebrile at this time and continued on broad-spectrum
antibiotics. He was transfused 2 units PRBCs over his course in
the ICU for a hematocrit of 23.9 on [**2177-11-14**]. He was continued
on standing Zofran and Ativan for post-chemotherapy nausea and
was continued on his clinical trial medication of anamorelin.
He was put on an insulin sliding scale for a diagnosis of
diabetes for which he was not taking medication.
.
He was transferred to the Oncology service on [**2177-11-19**] with a
controlled heart rate in the 100s-120s, hemodynamically stable
and asymptomatic.
.
FLOOR COURSE:
He was transferred to OMED service and maintained on metoprolol
for rate control. He was monitored on telemetry and although he
remained in atrial fibrillation, his ventricular rate was
well-controlled on metoprolol 75 mg Q6H. His antibiotics were
switched to levofloxacin, and he was discharged to complete a
seven day course for presumptive CAP. He was seen by physical
therapy who recommended discharge to home with home PT. He
remained on the floor for two nights. There were no concerning
episodes on telemetry and he was afebrile without chest pain or
cough. He was no longer neutropenic at time of discharge.
Neupogen was stopped.

The patient has been experiencing severe pleuritic chest pain
which had been controlled on 10 mg of prednisone; however,
this had recently increased to 20 mg to control these
recurrent flares.
Since the symptoms stemming from the relapsing pericarditis
has required the use of prednisone while other symptoms such
as aching in the hands and feet have been well controlled on
colchicine and methotrexate, the Cardiothoracic Surgery
Service was consulted to evaluate this patient for
pericardiectomy.

count was 10.5, hematocrit was 30.8, and platelets were 175.
Sodium was 143, potassium was 4.4, chloride was 107,
bicarbonate was 27, blood urea nitrogen was 11, creatinine
was 0.7, and blood glucose was 120. Magnesium was 2.3.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
revealed vital signs with a temperature of 99.2, heart rate
was 80 (sinus), blood pressure was 140/72, respiratory rate
was 18, and oxygen saturation was 96% on room air. The
patient is a well-developed and well-nourished male in no
apparent distress. Sclerae were anicteric. Mucous membranes
were moist. No evidence of oral ulcers. No evidence of
cervical lymphadenopathy. Cranial nerves II through XII were
intact. The chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally.
The sternal dressing was intact. No evidence of extending
erythema. No serosanguineous drainage was noted. The
sternum showed no signs of click to palpation.
Cardiovascular examination revealed a regular rate and
rhythm. No murmurs, no rubs, and no click noted. The
abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. Positive
bowel sounds. No evidence of inguinal lymphadenopathy. No
hepatosplenomegaly was noted. Extremity examination revealed
no evidence of edema. No rash was noted.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient is a 45-year-old male with a
long history of severe variant rheumatoid arthritis who
underwent a subtotal pericardiectomy for recurrent
pericarditis.
The patient's intraoperative course as well as postoperative
course were uncomplicated. The patient was taken to the
Cardiothoracic Surgery Recovery Unit immediately
postoperatively for close monitoring. The patient was
promptly extubated. The patient maintained good oxygen
saturations status post extubation and remained in a normal
sinus rhythm while maintaining good pressure without any
pressors.
By postoperative day two, the patient's condition continued
to advance; demonstrating ambulation greater than five
minutes without evidence of shortness of breath.
By postoperative day three, the patient achieved proper
physical therapy status criteria for discharge and the
decision was made to discharge the patient in good condition
from the hospital without services.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was good.

IMPRESSION:
1. No pulmonary embolism.
2. Marked interval increase in size of metastatic lesions at the
left lung
base, now associated with a large, and likely malignant, left
pleural
effusion. The right paraesophageal mass has also increased in
size with other small bilateral pulmonary nodules again noted.
[**4-7**] CXR
: Large left and small right pleural effusion, unchanged.
Streaky right
perihilar opacities, could be atelectasis. Dense LLL opacity
likely a
combination of known mass atelectasis and effusion. Widened
right lower
paramediastinal region part of it is likely due to known
paraesophageal mass.
Brief Hospital Course:
73 yo F with metastatic melanoma with acute presentation of
malignant pleural effusion s/p thoracentesis with short-interval
reacummulation concerning for hemothorax from melanoma.
#. Respiratory Distress, hypercapnic/mild hypoxia - [**1-25**]
effusion, space occupying lesion, underlying COPD, respiratory
depression from narcotics. Possible PE but unable to
anticoagulate [**1-25**] hemorrhagic effusion. In setting of hemothorax
from melanoma there are few options for treatment. Any further
drainage would like result in another quick reexpansion. Given
there is no treatment to stop the bleeding, placing a permanent
drain or pleurex cath is not indicated. Patient's family chose
to transition Ms. [**Known lastname 32058**] to comfort measures with morphine.
Patient died on the AM of [**4-8**] from respiratory failure.
.
#. Metastatic Melanoma - Mets to pleural space, likely
hemorrhagic, prognosis poor. As a result, family chose to
transition patient to comfort measures.

No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 618**]
Chief Complaint:
Found down by family, stuporous.
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation (outside)
Placement of oraogastric tube (outside)
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname **], "[**Last Name (un) **]", is a 64-year-old man transferred from
[**Hospital3 **] after being found down and description of
intracerebral hemorrhage on NCHCT, on a background of chronic
hypertension.
He was last seen at baseline by his son, [**Name (NI) 5758**] [**Name (NI) **], [**Name (NI) **]., on
Monday evening. On Tuesday morning he was seen by his neighbor
who described him as lethargic and as having slurred speech. The
neighbor came back to Mr. [**Known lastname 94143**] door about ten minutes
later and Mr. [**Known lastname **] did not respond or open his door as he
normally would. On Wednesday his family tried to call and when
they could get no response, decided to visit. His daughter
arrived and knocked, then called to him when the door didn't
open. She asked how he was and he said "Okay" and clearly
recognized that it was his daughter. [**Name (NI) **] then started to mumble,
then did not respond. This was at about 6 p.m., and given their
concerns they forced their way in before 7 p.m. Mr. [**Known lastname **] was
on the floor of his living room. It looked as if he had fallen,
was lying on his back and likely hit the sofa with his head on
the upper left side, deflecting it to the right. He opened his
eyes to voice and was mumbling, sometimes saying things. He
could not move when asked, but lifted up his shirt and said he
had chest pain. There were no other apparent injuries, but he
had been incontinent of urine. EMS took him to [**Hospital3 **].
Upon arrival his family say that he was no longer coherent or
opening his eyes. He was intubated given his mental status and
concern for aspiration (his family tell us). Non-contrast head
CT scan revealed left sided intraparenchymal hemorrhage
dissecting into the left thalamus and ventricles (see Imaging
below). He was transferred on propofol to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management.
At [**Hospital1 **] he was given 1.5 L NS, fentanyl/Versed, etomidate,
Ativan. CT head, C-spine and chest x-ray were performed (see
below). CK was 5374 (with normal CK-MB index). He had a
leukocytosis with predominant neutrophils, some bands (22.5, 85
%, 5%). [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] note: Patient denied pain, said "it was
light out", unable to get up. They noted that he was difficult
to understand. Patient reported high cholesterol.
In the ED he was continued on propofol and nicardipine was
started to control blood pressure.
Review of systems negative except as above.
Past Medical History:
- Hypertension, 20 years, on HCTZ monotherapy, per family
- Hiatus hernia
- Cardiomegaly per family, likely concentric hypertrophy in
context of hypertension
- Nasal polyps, s/p surgery
- Recent extraction of all teeth in last couple of months
- Anxiety (takes Klonopin)
- Dyslipidemia, per patient at [**Hospital1 **] (as stated in their note)
- Family deny diabetes
Social History:
Lives alone. Retired barber. 40-50 pack years, current smoker of
1 ppd. Some alcohol, but not for 8 years.
Family History:

'small stroke'. Father with coronary disease.
Physical Exam:
Exam on Discharge:
Mr [**Known lastname **] is drowsy at times, but will wake to full alertness.
He is oriented to self, year and hospital. He mumbles (worse
after hemorrhage), but language itself is normal. He does not
easily follow midline commands (poke out tongue, smile), but
will follow appendicular commands. He has a mild right facial
droop with generally decreased facial expression. He has
significant ataxia, with a mild right upper motor neuron pattern
of weakness, worse in the arm than the leg. Weakness seems,
prima facie, much worse in the context of ataxia. Sensation is
intact. Coordinated appendicular movements are slow but
accurate.

EKG [**2144-2-27**]
Sinus rhythm with increase in rate as compared with previous
tracing of [**2144-2-27**]. The ischemic appearing ST-T wave
abnormalities have improved but may represent
pseduonormalization in the context of increase in rate. The
initial forces in lead V2 are consistent with prior anteroseptal
infarction. Followup and clinical correlation are suggested.

Non-Contrast Head CT [**2144-2-27**]
FINDINGS: There is a similar moderate-sized left thalamic
hemorrhage with surrounding edema which extends into the
occipital horns of the bilateral lateral ventricles and the
body of the left lateral ventricle. Possible small foci of
subarachnoid/cortical hemorrhage are noted in the right frontal
lobe and unchanged. No increase in the size or new focus of
hemorrhage is appreciated. There is a minimal amount of
rightward shift of midline structures, though the basal cisterns
are preserved. Periventricular white matter hypodensity is
likely related to chronic small vessel ischemia. The ventricles
and sulci are normal in size. Elsewhere in the brain, [**Doctor Last Name 352**]
matter/white matter differentiation is preserved. There is a
small air-fluid level within the right maxillary sinus. The
mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION: Similar appearance of left thalamic hemorrhage with
extension into the bilateral occipital horns and body of left
lateral ventricle and possible small foci of
subarachnoid/cortical hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe.
There is minimal rightward shift of midline structures also
unchanged. Though the hemorrhage may relate to hypertension or
fall, underlying vascular/neoplastic etiology cannot be
excluded and further workup as clinically indicated.
CT C-Spine
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute cervical fracture or malalignment.
2. Multilevel degenerative changes, with likely chronic uniform
vertebral height loss at C5 and C6.
3. Partially-imaged brain demonstrates bilateral
intraventricular hemorrhage, compatible with the known left
thalamic hemorrhage.
Duplex Renal Ultrasound
IMPRESSION:
1. Normal sized kidneys, without evidence of renal artery
stenosis.
2. Mildly elevated renal arterial resistive indices could relate
to underlying chronic kidney disease.
CT Head [**2144-3-4**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Similar appearance of left thalamic hematoma and surrounding
edema with extension to the body of the left lateral ventricle
and 3rd ventricle and bilateral occipital horns of the lateral
ventricles. F/u as clinically indicated.
2. No new interval hemorrhage.
3. Stable mild rightward shift of midline structures.
Chest X-ray [**2144-3-5**]
IMPRESSION: Marked improvement of previously identified
congestive pattern. No new parenchymal infiltrates and only a
plate atelectasis remaining on the left base.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was intubated prior to arrival given vomiting,
concern for aspiration and stupor. He was admitted to the
Neurology ICU service for monitoring and blood pressure control,
given intraparenchymal hemorrhage with intraventricular
extension. Intraventricular extension was limited to the
posterior horns of the lateral ventricles, the ventricular
system remaining patent, so ventricular drain placement was not
necessary. He was transferred to the floor service when
stabilized and extubated where the primary issues became blood
pressure control, monitoring for pneumonia given persisting
leukocytosis, physical therapy and his dysphagia.
Intraparenchymal Cerebral Hemorrhage
Typical location and historical features for hypertensive
etiology. Given location and appearance, underlying mass,
amyloid and traumatic seem much less likely. Blood pressure was
controlled and the hemorrhage remained stable. Treatment of
hypertension will be important for reducing the risk of
subsequent hemorrhage. A statin was started given his lipid
profile. Aspirin is safe to continue as prophylaxis.
Hypertension
Mr. [**Known lastname 94143**] antihypertensive regimen was broadened and
increased during the admission. Amlodipine was started. HCTZ was
increased to 50 mg daily, then decreased again to 25 mg owing to
hypokalemia, with carvedilol initiated to help control blood
pressure further. Valsartan is at maximum dose and hydralazine
was also added at 10 mg every six hours. The latter [**Doctor Last Name 360**] is
less ideal for home use given potential rebound and likely
non-compliance given four times daily dosing. We would recommend
caution in uptitrating carvedilol given heart rate and
concomitant use of amlodipine (concern for heart block).
Clonidine patch and long-acting nitrates might also be
considered. Mr. [**Known lastname 94143**] blood pressure was improved after
diuresis with Lasix 20 mg IV also, after receiving fluid in
excess of urine output (not hypotonic given cerebral edema)
earlier in the admission. Doppler ultrasound of the renal
arteries was performed. Aldosterone level was not checked given
that hypokalemia was explained by HCTZ use.
Hypokalemia
Increased and decreased with hydrochlorothiazide dosing, to
which this was attributed. Serum potassium has been around 3.5
on the present 25 mg of HCTZ. This should be monitored in
rehabilitation to determine whether supplement is necessary.
Leukocytosis
Initially attributed to stress-related demargination of
neutrophils, but then persisted. This, is conjunction with prior
aspiration, along with a hazy left base on portable film raised
concern for pneumonia. He remained afebrile, but was treated
with ceftriaxone for possible aspiration-related pneumonia. He
remained afebrile and further evidence of clinical or
radiographic pneumonia did not develop. WBC increased on the day
of discharge, but this was attributed to an increase in
eosinophils that were not present at admission, suggesting mild
allergic reaction to ceftriaxone. Nonetheless, given no other
evidence of allergy and this short course due to finish after
four more doses, we recommend continuing this medication to
complete the course, with the last dose of [**2144-3-9**].
Question of Pneumonia
See leukocytosis.
Relative Eosinophilia
There is no absolute eosinophilia, but has been a relative
increased in this cell line since admission. This may represent
a mild allergic response to ceftriaxone. Please check CBC with
differential to see that this does not climb further.
Drowsiness
Given peri-thalamic hemorrhage, some decreased level of arousal
is not uncommon and this will often improve over several days.
Klonopin was a home medication that was used at uncertain dose
in the home setting, so this was titrated during the admission.
He presently is taking 0.5 mg TID, which can likely be tapered
to 0.25 mg TID then off over the next few days.
Hyponatremia
Mild hyponatremia on discharge that is attributable to mild
SIADH in the context of intracerebral hemorrhage. This is just
under the normal range, 132 versus 133, and has been stable, so
no specific intervention seems warranted at this time.
Elevated CK
Attributed to rhabdomyolisis given immobility at home - it is
likely that he was in the same position for about 36 hours. This
trended down and we stopped checking this when in the normal
range for African-American males (< ~ 800).
Prediabetic State
A1c was mildly elevated. Continued monitoring for diabetes is
indicated. We did not initiate treatment during the admission.
Myocardial Ischemia
Suggested by EKG (see above), but may be prior. Enzymes were
negative.
Medications on Admission:
- HCTZ, dose unknown
- Klonopin
- Total of [**2-28**], maybe more medications per family. Pharmacy,
[**Company 25282**] in [**Location (un) 5110**] dispensed Klonopin, Zoloft, Trazodone.
Family will bring list in a.m.
Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Hospital3 1107**] [**Hospital **] Hospital - [**Location (un) 38**]
Discharge Diagnosis:
Primary
Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Hypertension
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Confused - sometimes.
Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable.
Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or
wheelchair.
Discharge Instructions:
You came to the hospital after being found confused at home by
your family. You went to an outside hospital where you were
noted to have vomiting and were very drowsy and you were
therefore intubated. CT scan of your head revealed that there
was bleeding in your brain. You were transferred to [**Hospital1 771**] and initially monitored in the
intensive care unit until it was clear that bleeding had
stopped. We attribute this intracerebral hemorrhage to high
blood pressure. We got your blood pressure under better control.
This process of progressively controlling your blood pressure
will need to continue at rehabilitation. Please stay in regular
touch with your primary care physician so that this can be
watched closely. You will also need to see Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in
[**Hospital 878**] Clinic, before which you will need an MRI (ordered at
[**Hospital1 18**]) and laboratory test (prescription attatched).
Followup Instructions:
Please follow up in [**Hospital 878**] Clinic with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]:
[**Name6 (MD) **] [**Name8 (MD) **], M.D. Phone:[**Telephone/Fax (1) 2574**] Date/Time:[**2144-4-28**]

Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2186**]
Chief Complaint:
Progressive signs of dizziness, visual difficulties, unsteady
gait
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Right-sided high frontal stereotactic biopsy, CT-guided target
point, definition and MRI-guided intraoperative imaging.
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 56-year-old male with a history of colon
cancer, as well as testicular cancer, who presents with
progressive signs of dizziness, visual difficulties, unsteady
gait for approximately 12 months. He was worked up including an
MRI scan that showed a brainstem lesion. He was referred to the
brain tumor clinic for consideration of a biopsy.
The patient has been followed at the [**Hospital6 **] at [**Location 10050**]. He had been treated for a number of medical issues. He
was examined by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 66170**] whose physical exam reportedly
showed bilateral facial numbness and swaying, and a MRI of the
head was preformed. This demonstrated expansion of the
brainstem without significant contrast enhancement. The patient
was thus considered to have a brainstem glioma and started on
Decadron. The patient now presents for a surgical opinion. In
the office, the patient complains about dizziness, blurred
vision, double vision, occasional headaches, and unsteady gait.
He feels better with medications. He takes at baseline 2 Tylenol
a day. Has a history of arthritis in the lower back, otherwise,
he reports that the numbness in his hands has disappeared since
starting the Decadron. The patient has tapered his Decadron to a
dose of 2 mg p.o. b.i.d. The patient is otherwise feeling
himself stable. He was told that he had a left lazy eye at
baseline, but the patient is not quite sure about the symptoms.
He denies otherwise any extreme fatigue, weight loss or other
symptoms.

(including intraoperative smear):
DIFFUSELY INFILTRATING FIBRILLARY ASTROCYTOMA. WHO ([**2126**]) grade
II out of IV.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
56 M with PMH sigmoid and testicular ca in [**2125**], HTN, COPD,
admitted for new diagnosis pontine glioma s/p posterior fossa
decompression and necrotizing pna.
.
# Pontine glioma:
56 year-old man initially seen and discussed in brain tumor
clinic. Patient taken to OR on [**12-31**] for brainstem lesion biopsy
under general anesthesia. Postoperatively stayed in the PACU 6
hours then transferred to floor. On postop day one patient
demonstrated difficulty of swallowing which he failed his speech
and swallow evaluation. Patient kept NPO, started IV fluids. On
[**2133-1-2**] patient taken back to OR for a suboccipital chiari
decompression. Patient tranferred to neuro ICU for hemodymanic
and neurologic monitoring. Due to postoperaive respiratory
secretion extubated on [**2133-1-4**] after bronchcospy.
.
Brain stem biopsy pathology result is significant for
infiltrative astrocytoma. Radiation oncology decided not to
perform radiation mapping and to hold off for another several
weeks before planning to start XRT, since patient has a slow
growing glioma, and XRT could exacerbate pna. Patient known by
Dr [**Last Name (STitle) 4253**] will follow up with him as scheduled. Patient was
transferred to Step-down unit on [**2132-1-7**]. His speech continued
to become more articulate and clear, and his mental status
continued to become more clear. The patient stated that his
dizziness has improved.
.
# Necrotizing pneumonia:
Patient has a known pulmonary process that been followed in
[**Hospital 669**] [**Hospital **] hospital in MA. In house repeat CT of the chest
significant for left lower lobe, consolidative opacity, with
central area of necrosis, an air-fluid level, and
low-attenuation material. Additionally, there are several areas
within the right and left lungs peripherally, with patchy
opacity and tree-in-[**Male First Name (un) 239**] opacities, concerning for multifocal
opacity. There is also a wedge-shaped opacity in the right lower
lung zone, some of which may represent atelectasis.There is a
3.3 x 2.6 cm nodule with multiple foci of calcification within
the left lower lobe. Attempt to obtain images from [**Hospital **] hospital
regarding pulmonary lesions for comparison, [**Name (NI) 653**] with
MEdical records to sent ua CD images. Medicine and
interventional pulmonary services recommended continue
antibiotics, and follow up with chest CT with and with out
contrast in 4 weeks in pulmonary clinic. In the mean time
[**Name (NI) 653**] with Dr [**First Name (STitle) **] at the [**Hospital **] hospital regarding
tranfering him over to VA regarding his known pulmonary process,
and colon carcinoma for further work up which he was agreed with
the transfer.
.
Pleural fluid culture grew out positive to MSSA, GNR, [**Female First Name (un) 564**]
albicans, staph coag neg. BAL culture grew out Stenotrophomonas
maltophila and Klebsiella sensitive to almost all abx tested.
ID was consulted and created antibiotic regimen of clindamycin,
bactrim, ceftriaxone, to be continued for 4-6 weeks. Levo was
completed for 2 weeks (last date [**2133-1-27**]). Patient should be
reassessed to refine abx regimen within 2-4 weeks. The patient
greatly improved on suctioning and chest PT, maintaining >95% RA
on the floor.
.
The following labs will need to be followed up after discharge:
LFTs, mycolytic/fungal cx, Cdiff x3, legionella urinary antigen
.
# Urinary retention:
Patient had no urine output after foley was d/ced. Straight
cath released 980 ml of urine. After 2 days of straight caths,
patient recovered normal urination, and does not have a foley
upon discharge.
.
# Skin lesions:
Dermatology consulted in reference to his left deltoid skin
lesion, non-bleeding which is present for 5 year according to
patient. Dermotalogy recommended excision of the lesion to rule
out melanoma once acute issues resolved with Derm Surgery
([**Telephone/Fax (1) 2977**]).
.
# Anemia:
Patient's Hct was around 25 during admission.
.
# HTN:
Controlled. Diltiazem and captopril were continued as per her
outpt regimen.
.
# Access: Picc placed [**2133-1-9**].
Medications on Admission:
The patient is a 56 y/[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 4746**] with a PMH significant for sigmoid
and testicular cancer in '[**25**], HTN, and COPD who was admitted to
the neurosurgery service on [**2132-12-31**] with a new diagnosis of a
pontine mass after 1yr of progressive dizziness and ataxia. He
underwent a stereotactic bx on [**12-31**] showing a low grade glioma
and received a palliative posterior fossa expansion on [**1-2**].
.
Routine pre-op CXR revealed multiple opacities and a 3x3 cm well
demarcated cavitary lesion with an air/fluid level in left
posterior lung. Following his surgery, he was extubated w/out
event but required reintubation later that evening [**1-22**]
desaturation. On [**1-3**], a chest CT was done which showed a
multifocal pneumonic process with LLL necrotizing PNA. He
underwent a bronch on [**1-4**] with BAL revealing MSSA and
stenotrophamonas and was started on Levofloxacin (now d10/14),
Vanco (since d/c), and Clinda (d10/42) at this time. Bactrim
(d5/14) was added on [**1-8**] when BAL grew stenotrophamonas.
.
During this time, he has been intermittantly hypoxic with thick
secretions requiring frequent suctioning. Over the past 2d, he
has been afebrile and his secretions have cleared appreciably.
He has maintained his O2 sats on 4L NC. Other than this, the
patient has been intermittantly hypertensive requiring the
addition of captopril to his outpatient regimen. He has also
failed numerous speech and swallow evaluations requring NG tube
feeds to maintain his nutritional status. From an oncologic
standpoint, his pontine lesion is not amenable to resection and
the plan is to initiate palliative radiation therapy. Per
neurosurgery, his prognosis is extremely poor. Finally, the
patient has requested transfer to the [**Location 1268**] VA system
over the past several days as he has received much of his care
at this hospital. Discussions are still ongoing to facilitate
this transfer.

History of Present Illness:
Mr [**Known lastname 46286**] is a [**Age over 90 **]yo man with history of sCHF (EF 20-25%
[**4-/2135**]), complete heart block s/p pacer, AS s/p AVR (St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**]
porcine valve, [**10-7**]), Afib s/p cardioversion on warfarin, HTN,
and GERD who presents with 1-2 week history of progressive
fatigue, weakness, and dyspnea on exertion, as well as new onset
hemoptysis in setting of supratherapeutic INR.
.
Patient was in his usual state of health until two weeks prior
to presentation when he developed slight DOE and increased lower
extremity edema, felt to be mild exacerbation of CHF by his PCP.
[**Name10 (NameIs) **] lasix dose was increased from 20mg daily to 40mg daily with
some effect. However, 1-2 weeks prior to presentation patient
reported increasing fatigue, weakness, and SOB. He developed
dyspnea with only several steps around his apartment. He denied
dyspnea at rest, orthopnea or PND. Denied any fever or chills,
but reported >1 week of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and a
terrible cough productive of white phlegm. The morning of
presentation ([**2136-2-3**]) he noted bright red blood mixed in with
his phlegm; he could not fully quantify the amount though likely
less than 1 tsp at a time. Patient reported several episodes of
recurrent hemoptysis, prompting presentation to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED for
further evaluation.
.
In the emergency department, initial VS were T: 96.4 HR: 80 BP:
120/73 RR: 16 O2%: 100% on an unknown amount of oxygen. Exam was
notable for blood in oropharynx, crackles and decreased breath
sounds on right. Stool was guiac negative. Labs were notable for
INR of 6.8, WBC 11.8 with 87.0% N, HCT 39.1. Difficult to obtain
blood draws per ED report, and several samples hemolyzed. CXR
demostrated whiteout of right lung fields, as well as left sided
effusion. EKG showed AFib with intermittent pacing, no ischemic
changes. Bedside echo to exclude severe MR [**First Name (Titles) 3**] [**Last Name (Titles) 46296**] of
right-sided effusion was limited study, but showed only mild MR.
[**Name13 (STitle) **] ordered for vitamin K 10 units IV, 2 units FFP and
profilnine. Also received vanco 1gm IV, zosyn 4.5mg IV,
oseltamivir. Admitted to MICU for ongoing evaluation and
management. On arrival to ICU, patient had an O2 sat > 94 on
NRB, though became dyspneic with desats to 80s when NRB removed.
He reports no recent changes in medications (other than increase
in lasix dose), no sick contacts, no recent change in diet. Most
recent INR reported in our system was 1.9 on [**2135-12-21**] (per OMR
notes), and patient's goal INR has been 2-2.5.

IMAGING:
[**2136-2-3**] Echo: The left atrium is dilated. The right atrium is
dilated. There is moderate symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. LV
systolic function appears depressed. The right ventricular
cavity is dilated with depressed free wall contractility. A
bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis is present. The mitral
valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is severe mitral
annular calcification. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
[Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral regurgitation
may be significantly UNDERestimated.] There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Moderate symmetric LVH
with deoressed systolic function. Dilated and depressed right
ventricle. At least mild mitral regurgitation (not likely to be
severe however). Bioprosthetic AVR - limited study and gradients
not assessed. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of
[**2135-4-21**], this was an on-call, limited, study. Findings are
broadly similar.
.
[**2136-2-3**] CXR: New confluent patchy alveolar opacification of the
right hemithorax likely represents alveolar hemorrhage given
clinical context.
.
Chest CT [**2136-2-13**]:
1. Left hilar mass with associated atelectasis of the lingula
and anterior
segment of left lower lobe and bronchial stenosis of the
segmental bronchi is likely to be accessible bronchoscopically.
2. Bilateral bronchocentric pulmonary opacity with smooth septal
thickening in the right lung likely reflects aspiration.
3. Bilateral moderately large nonhemorrhagic pleural effusions.
4. Moderately severe aortic annular, valvular and mitral annular
calcification and mild-to-moderate coronary artery
atherosclerotic
calcification.
5. Right atrial and pulmonary arterial enlargement consistent
with pulmonary hypertension.
CXR: [**2136-2-18**]
One view. Comparison with the previous study done [**2136-2-17**].
Patchy bilateral pulmonary opacities are again demonstrated.
There are bilateral pleural effusions as well. These findings
are essentially unchanged, as are the mediastinal structures.
The left heart border is partially obscured. A bipolar
transvenous pacemaker remains in place.
IMPRESSION: No significant change.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 46286**] is a [**Age over 90 **]yo man with history of sCHF (EF 20-25%
[**4-/2135**]), complete heart block s/p pacer, AS s/p AVR (St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**]
porcine valve, [**10-7**]), Afib s/p cardioversion on warfarin, HTN,
and GERD who presented with 1-2 week history of progressive
fatigue, weakness, and dyspnea on exertion, as well as new onset
frank hemoptysis in setting of supratherapeutic INR with CXR
demonstrating almost complete alveolar opacification of the
right lung. His hospital admission is sumarized by problem
below.
# Hypoxemic Respiratory Distress: Initially admitted to the MICU
and was found to have almost complete opacification of the right
lung and a left pleural effusion. He was treated with Vancomycin
and Levofloxacin for presumed pneumonia for nearly 14 day
course. Also given a steroid pulse in case asthma/emphysema were
at play, as patient does have a smoking history, but no
documented COPD. Echo showed an EF of 25-35%, so given concern
for CHF exacerbation, he was diuresed aggressively and did
require bipap and a nitro gtt briefly. When his respiratory
status improved to saturations of >94 on 5 L NC he was
transfered to the medical floor. Given persistant pleural
effusion and hypoxemia, despite aggressive diuresis, IP was
consulted for both diagnostic and therapeutic thoracenteisis.
They felt these were not amenable to drain as minimal fluid on
ultrasound. He had a Chest CT which demonstrated a new large
mass in his left lung (5cm x 5cm) obstructing the bronchus to
the lingula concerning for malignancy. Pulmonary was consulted
to discuss further work up of this mass, and the patient and his
daughter decided not to pursue a biopsy at this time. Palliative
care was consulted as well. Ultimately, the patient would like
to be home and is willing to go to rehab with plans to
transition to home with hospice.
His respiratory status remained quite tenuous throughout his
hospitalization. He was diuresed aggressively with improvement
in oxygenation. However, he was then noted to be hypotensive
with SBPs in the low 70s. Of note, normal SBPs are in the 90s.
The patient was completely asymptomatic. His blood pressure
improved with a 250 cc bolus and holding further diuresis. The
following day, the patient triggered for respiratory distress
that was consistent with flash pulmonary edema which improved
with morphine. He was continued on his home lasix regimen of 40
daily as this appeared to balance his respiratory status with
his blood pressure with a goal fluid balance of even to -250 cc.
He remained normotensive for 48 hours prior to d/c and his
respiratory status remained stable for 24 hours prior to
discharge to the MACU. He will continue to need supplemental
oxygen as this was unable to be weaned completely off.
His volume status should be watched carefully as he has proven
to be quite tenuous -- too much volume and he goes into
respiratory distress, too little volume and he is hypotensive.
# Hemoptysis: In setting of elevated INR to 6.8 (on warfarin for
afib). He was reversed with vitamin K. Treated for presumed
pneumonia. Also [**Month/Year (2) 46296**] may be lung mass near bronchi, however
work up deferred per patient request. Resolved and restarted on
coumadin without incident. INR goal 2-2.5.
# Goals of Care: Numerous discussion with patient and daughter
were had regarding patient's goals of care. Given his likely
terminal illness from his lung mass, the patient and daughter
felt they did not want further workup of this. Both the
pulmonary team and paliative care aided in this discussion. Both
patient and daughter were in favor of intubation if the patient
needed, only for the short term. He was DNR, but not DNI. They
were both told that he will likely go into respiratory distress
again given his finely balanced fluid status. If this were to
occur, they were both in favor of coming back to the hospital if
needed.
# Elevated Troponin: During respiratory distress, patient's
troponin was elevated to 0.09 with flat CKs. EKG showed a paced
rhythm. Given this likely demand ischemia, patient was started
on aspirin and atorvastatin. Further care should be directed in
the outpatient.
# Aspiration: CT findings were suggestive of aspiration though
video swallow studied did not show aspiration. His diet was
therefore advanced.
#. Acute on Chronic Systolic CHF: EF 25-30% this admission in
setting of decompensated heart failure. Diuresed as above. Could
not wean patient off of oxygen completely. On day of discharge,
patient was ~95% on 2 liters.
#. Atrial fibrillation s/p cardioversion, AV node ablation:
Patient was in Afib, and ventricularly paced with rate in 70s.
Patient was supratherapeutic in terms of INR on admission and
was given Vit K in the ED due to hemopytsis. Goal INR was 2-2.5.
for atrial fibrillation. Patient with porcine valve. The patient
was rate controled on metoprolol throughout admission. Coumadin
restarted and INR 1.8 at time of discharge. Continued SQ heparin
while patient was < 2.0.
# Hyponatremia: As low as 129. Most likely hypovolemic from
aggressive diuresis. It resolved on the floor.
#. HTN: Patient's baseline sbp is in the high 80s-90s and at
times in the 100s. Given these low blood pressures, diuresis
could not be overly aggressive. He will be d/c'd on lasix 40 mg
daily (as above). Lisinopril 2.5 mg was held due to low bps.
Metoprolol was continued with intermittent holding in setting of
low blood pressures. Low BP felt secondary to diuresis along
with systolic heart failure.
#. GERD: Home omeprazole was continued throughout admission.
#. Osteoarthritis: Tramadol was continued throughout his
admission.

Mr. [**Known lastname 46286**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you while you were an inpatient
at the [**Hospital1 69**]. You were admitted
to our medical intensive care unit on [**2136-2-3**] for severe
shortness of breath. While here, you were treated with
antibiotics, steroids, and diuretics for a possible pneumonia,
COPD exacerbation, and congestive heart failure exacerbation
respectively. You improved with this therapy in the ICU and
were transfered to the medical floor. You're antibiotics and
steroids were discontinued and we continued to diurese for a CHF
exacerbation. On [**2136-2-13**] a CT scan was taken that demonstrated a
new mass in your left lung. This was discussed with you and your
daughter [**Name (NI) **] by both the medicine and pulmonary teams and you
decided that a biopsy would not be prudent at this time. On
[**2136-2-19**] your respiratory status improved and were felt ready to
be dischargee to an inpatient rehabilitation facility.
Please note the following instructions:
more than 3 lbs.
2. Please use combivent and albuterol nebulizers as needed for
shorteness of breath

transferred from [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital with known bilateral
subdural hematomas. The patient was in her usual state of
health until today on the 17th when she had a sudden onset of
headache after coughing. She was taken to [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital,
where she was intubated for airway protection, although
neurologically stable. She was transferred to [**Hospital3 **]
for further management. She is on Coumadin for a history of
valve surgery. Her INR at the outside hospital was 10.5.
She was given 1 unit of fresh-frozen plasma and 5 mg of
vitamin K.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypertension.
2. Ventricular pacer.
3. Question of valve surgery.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical exam, she is in AF, heart
rate 77, blood pressure was 208/49. She was intubated,
sedated, awakened to examiner, attentive. She has
antigravity strength in both upper and lower extremities.
She withdraws to pain bilaterally. Her pupils were symmetric
and reactive at 2.5. Her face was symmetric and her toes
were downgoing.
LABORATORIES AT OUTSIDE HOSPITAL: White count was 8.8,
hematocrit 36.2, platelets 286. Sodium 139, potassium of
4.2, chloride of 105, CO2 24, BUN 12, creatinine 0.7, glucose
147.
CT scan at the outside hospital showed right sided subdural
hematoma which was about 5 mm at the greatest thickness.
Also a chronic subdural hematoma with slight effacement of the
right lateral ventricle.
She was admitted to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit.
On [**2160-6-8**], the patient had an episode of desaturation
with frothy sputum thought to be secondary to fluid overload
from blood products to correct INR. The patient remained
intubated. Pupils were symmetric. She localizes pain
bilaterally moving the legs to command. Spiked a temperature
to 102.6. Her sputum had gram-positive cocci in pairs and
clusters. She was started on Vancomycin for pneumonia.
She had positive blood cultures on [**2160-6-13**] with
gram-positive cocci pairs and clusters. On [**2160-6-11**], the
patient was seen by the EPS service for a question of problem
with her pacemaker. They recommended to getting an
echocardiogram and continuing her current medications, and
just continuing to monitor her condition. She continued to
spike to 102, and on [**6-15**], she had positive blood cultures
with gram-positive cocci. Was started back on Vancomycin.
On [**6-16**], the patient had a PICC line placed without any
problems. The patient continued to be awake to voice,
attentive, and following commands, moving arms and legs
spontaneously and purposefully. She remained in the
Intensive Care Unit, and patient was extubated on [**2160-6-18**].
She tolerated extubation well, and she was transferred to the
regular floor on [**2160-6-19**], where she has remained stable
from respiratory and neurologic standpoint. She is awake,
alert, and oriented times three, moving all extremities.
Still had some left upper extremity weakness which she has
had right along.
She has been followed by Physical Therapy and Occupational
Therapy, and found to be safe for discharge to
rehabilitation.
Pulmonary wise, she is on room air. Tolerating room air fine
without difficulty breathing. She has been restarted on her
anticoagulation after repeat head CT scan shows stable size
of the subdural hematoma with no change in that she is
currently on 850 units of IV Heparin and 5 mg of Coumadin.
Her INR today on [**2160-6-23**] is 1.9 with a PTT of 91.5
currently going at 850 an hour of Heparin.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Vancomycin 1 gram IV q24h.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a [**Age over 90 **] year old woman with a recent
cardiopulmonary arrest of unknown etiology and seizures who has
been transferred from [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] for further management of
suspected status epilepticus. This history was obtained from
discussion with her son [**Name (NI) 333**] and from review of the medical
record. On [**2108-2-18**] she was found down at her residence and was
noted to be bradycardic, hypotensive, hypothermic, and
lethargic.
She was transported to an ED at Upstate [**Location (un) **] Hospital in
NY
where she had a cardiopulmonary arrest and was intubated and
resuscitated. The intubation was difficult and she was found to
have a mediastinal mass (multinodular goiter with papillary
microcarcinoma, which was removed). She had a complicated
hospital course with hospital-associated pneumonia, lung
collapse
s/p bronchoscopy, sepsis, corneal abrasion/chemosis,
perioperative anemia from blood loss, and then confusion. She
was
started on quetiapine initially for suspected ICU-related
delirium. However, she started showing clinical signs of
seizures
(sudden behavioral arrest, blank stare, eye deviation to the
left
and down) which resolved with low dose of lorazepam. Despite
reportedly unremarkable head imaging, she was thought to
potentially has PRES (unclear what the blood pressure
measurements were at the time). She was started on Levetiracetam
750 mg [**Hospital1 **] for seizure prevention. An EEG done at that time
reportedly suggested potential epileptiform foci but no seizures
were seen. She was discharged to a rehab but per her family did
not return to her prior highly functional baseline mental
status.
On [**2108-3-21**], she was even more lethargic than usual and did not
respond promptly to sternal rub. She was observed as having
right
face and right shoulder twitches with associated bowel/bladder
incontinence which ceased with diazepam 2.5 mg given twice. She
had a normal blood sugar of 81 at that time and otherwise normal
vital signs after the episode. She was transferred to
[**Hospital1 **]
for further management where she was given two loading doses of
Fosphenytoin 500 mg with some improvement in the focal motor
activity. Neurology was consulted there and recommended
increasing Levetiracetam to 1000 mg [**Hospital1 **] and continuing
Phenytoin.
She had an unremarkable NCHCT. She was found to have a UTI and
was started on Ceftriaxone on [**3-21**]. She was thought to
potentially have pneumonia as well, but chest imaging did not
reveal an infiltrate so this was stopped. An EEG was obtained
which potentially showed frequent left parasagittal epileptiform
discharges, so she was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further care.
Prior to transfer per her son, he [**Name2 (NI) 15598**]'t notice any more motor
activity but she was not very arousable (she would only briefly
open her eyes to voice).

Brief Hospital Course:
Neuro:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 110651**] was very sleepy while in the ICU, and her EEG was
showing PLEDs. She was started on keppra and dilantin. Her PLEDs
improved, and her mental status continued to slowly improved.
Upon transfer to the floor, she had no further clinical
seizures. Her mental status was improving daily, and she was
back to having full conversations on the day of her discharge.
we stopped her dilantin and increased the keppra in order to
create a balance between her level of drowsiness and seizure
control. We decided not to treat the actual PLEDs, as she was
clinically improving.
CV/Resp:
She did not have any further acute issues during her stay. We
continued her anti-hypertensive medications.
FEN/GI:
She was initially too sleepy to eat on her own and therefore was
placed on tube feeds. She took her own tube out on [**4-1**], and as
she was awake enough, we decided not to replace it and allow her
to PO. We advanced her diet to soft + thin liquids based on the
recommendations of speech therapy, and she tolerated it well.
She needs to continue to work on her diet, and she needs
supplmentation with ensure.
ID:
She received 7 days of ceftriaxone for her UTI, she was
afebrile, and had no further complications.
We kept her foley in because she developed a bed sore, and we
did not want the area to become wet. The foley can come out once
the area has healed.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mrs. [**Known lastname 110651**],
It has been a great pleasure taking care of you.
You were admitted to our neurology/epilepsy service because you
were having seizures after you had your cardiac arrest.
Your EEG did show that you were having a lot of epileptic
discharges, you were placed on two medications, and we only kept
you on one of them, which was enough to control the seizures.
You also had a urinary tract infection which we treated.
Your mental status continued to improve dramatically.
You required a feeding tube through your nose initially, but you
were able to start eating by mouth soon after and therefore did
not need it anymore.
Followup Instructions:
Our neurology clinic will contact you for a follow up
appointment.

History of Present Illness:
HPI: This is a 53 year-old gentleman with HCV cirrhosis and
refractory lymphoblastic lymphoma/ALL on rituximab and
prednisone who presents with altered mental status. His mother
found him this morning with increased lethargy and complaining
of diffuse back pain. The back pain was unchanged from his usual
back pain, secondary to his ALL, and was not relieved by
morphine or methadone. He was recently admitted to the BMT
service from [**11-27**] until [**12-1**] for fevers and progressive ALL.
Infectious work-up was unremarkable and his fevers were
atrributed to a reaction to platelet transfusion. Of note, he
had another admission earlier in [**Month (only) **] at which point he
developed a strep viridans line infection (from PICC line)-- the
PICC line was removed, he was treated with a course of PCN G
which was changed to augmentin at his last admission with the
last dose due either yesterday or today. After finding him this
morning, his mother brought him back to 7 [**Hospital Ward Name 1826**] today for
readmission and an ambulance was called from there to bring him
to the ED.
.
In the ED, initial vitals were T 98.3, BP 122/83, HR 100, RR 12,
100% on 4L. He was sleepy but A+O x3. Pt was noted to be very
uncomfortable, complaining of back pain. While in the ED, he
became
more delirious, writhing around in bed, refusing pain
medications, and perseverating on wanting to get out of bed to
urinate. Pt was intubated for CT head and abdomen. Spiked temp
to 101.8 rectally but remained hemodynamically stable. He was
given ceftriaxone, vanco, and acyclovir for empiric meningitis
coverage. LP was deferred given platelet count of 14. CT head
was negative and CT abdomen was notable for slightly worsened
ascites, new bibasilar opacities. Attempts to place OGT and
foley were unsuccessful and patient was noted to only have 40cc
of UOP while in the ED.

Past Medical History:
<b>HEMATOLOGIC/ONCOLOGIC HISTORY:</b>
Mr. [**Known lastname 2479**] was diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma in
[**2116-1-31**]. He presented to [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2115-12-30**] with
complaints of diffuse myalgias and arthralgias. A CT scan
demonstrated multiple enlarged portahepatis lymph nodes (largest
1.5 x 2.7 cm)and portacaval lymph nodes (largest 1.9 cm x 3.4 )
as well as multiple mildly enlarged paraaortic lymph nodes, the
largest measuring 1.2 x 1.9cm. On [**2116-1-6**], he underwent a
CT-guided fine-needle aspiration of a portahepatis lymph node
which was nondiagnostic.
A bone marrow biopsy was obtained on [**2116-2-26**], demonstrating
involvement by high-grade B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
Tumor cells were diffusely positive for pan B cell markers CD20
and PAX-5, with co-expression of CD10 and bcl-2. TdT staining
was equivocal, with predominantly cytoplasmic staining and a
rare cell with dim nuclear staining. MIB-1 staining showed an
overall proliferation index of 50-60%, with focal areas with a
higher fraction. The differential diagnosis was felt to include
lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (precursor B-cell
lymphoma/leukemia) or a blastic transformation/progression of a
mature B cell lymphoma. It was noted that a definitive diagnosis
would require flow cytometry and molecular studies, which could
not be performed because there were no blasts in the peripheral
blood and a marrow aspirate could not be obtained (dry tap).
However, the peripheral blood sample was sent for
immunophenotyping, which demonstrated a new population of CD34
positive cells and a small population of CD19 positive cells in
the "blast" gait, without expression of TdT. It was felt that
these findings should be interpreted with caution since no
blasts were identified on a corresponding peripheral smear.
Given his significant liver dysfunction and other medical
co-morbidities, the initial treatment regimen chosen for the
patient consisted of R-CHOP, which was initiated on [**2116-3-4**].
He received a second cycle of chemotherapy on [**2116-3-24**],
consisting of R-CHOP without vincristine, which was held
secondary to neuropathy. Modified Hyper-CVAD Course A was given
on [**2116-4-10**], with a second course given on [**2116-5-15**] and a third
course on [**2116-6-22**]. Course B was not given due to his history of
hepatic cirrhosis. Of note, the patient has known retinal
involvement by his lymphoma, for which he is followed by Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] of ophthalmology. A liver biopsy on [**5-8**] and repeat bone
marrow biopsies on [**6-12**] and [**7-19**] have shown no evidence of
recurrent lymphoma.
The patient presented on [**2116-10-15**] with myalgias, headache,
mental status changes, and fevers. A CBC showed a WBC of 7.2
with 14% blasts. A bone marrow biopsy demonstrated marked
fibrosis and relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. He
was treated with rituximab 500mg, given in three doses of 100mg,
200 mg, and 200mg on [**10-9**] - [**10-11**]. In addition, he was treated
with rituximab 375mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2, doxorubicin
20mg/m2, and dexamethasone 20mg from [**10-19**]- [**10-21**].
The patient was noted to have recurrence of peripheral blasts on
[**2116-11-9**], with a bone marrow biopsy on [**2116-11-11**] showing residual
leukemia in the marrow. After extensive discussion, he opted to
continue palliative chemotherapy with rituximab and prednisone.
Rituximab was started on [**2116-11-16**] at 100mg, with plans to
continue threrapy with 200mg daily on [**11-17**] and [**11-18**].

CXR (s/p intubation): Although on the frontal view, the
electronic measurement of the distance from the ET tube tip to
the carina is less than 6 cm, the tip is above the upper margin
of the clavicles, and it is probably 3 cm above optimal

kyphosis. Aside from mild plate-like atelectasis at the base of
the left base, lungs are clear. There is no pleural effusion.
Heart size is normal.
.
CT abd/pelvis: Slightly worsened ascites. No change in
splenomegaly, cholelithiasis, portal lymphadenopathy. Bibasal
opacities new since [**Month (only) 359**], could be due to atelectasis,
pneumonia, aspiration.
.

.
CXR PA and lat: Interpretation is limited by patient rotation
and
kyphotic angulation. However, there is no evidence of pleural
effusion or focal consolidation. Allowing for change in
positioning, the study is overall not significantly changed
since [**2116-11-27**]. There is a focus of linear atelectasis at the
left lung base. Wedge compression deformities of two low
thoracic vertebral bodies are unchanged.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was a 53 year-old male with a history of relapsing
refractory ALL on prednisone and rituximab and HCV cirrhosis who
presents with fever, altered mental status, and hypotension.
Patient was hypotensive, started on pressors, given IVF,
worsened in the setting of adrenal insuffiency, and synthetic
hepatic dysfunction. Patient was intubated. Once infectious
etiology was eliminated, patient's dim prognosis was discussed
with family and a determination was made to make the patient
CMO. Patient was extubated and started on morphine drip.
Patient, due to high drug tolerance, continued to have pain and
was responsive on morphine drip. Patient was transferred from
the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] to BMT floor for CMO continuation. Patient continued to
show signs of discomfort and sedatation was switched to dilaudid
and ativan drip. Patient expired at 7:20 pm on [**2116-12-10**]
secondary to respiratory failure from relapsing refractory ALL
in the presence of the family. The proxy, [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 2479**], the
patient's son, consented to a full autopsy.

required intubation for desaturation and airway protection. She
was given 40 mg protonix, 10 mg IV vitamin K and 2 L of NS. Her
labs were significant for HCT of 20 and creatinine 5.3. BP
ranged from 87-114/54-64. She was transferred to the MICU for
management of upper GI bleed.
.
Patient was recently discharged [**2199-2-8**] from the [**Hospital1 1516**] service
home with hospice following a complicated hospital course.
Patient presented with shortness of breath secondary to CHF
exacerbation, was aggressively diuresised but developed
hematemesis and worsening renal failure. Her renal failure did
not improve and her bleeding source was never found. During the
admission bloody material came from her mouth, but it was not
clear whether it was emesis or cough. There was concern for
malignancy based on prior CT showing thyroid mass and LAD, but a
follow-up non-contrast chest CT did not suggest new pathology.
ENT did not visualize any bleeding source down to the glottis
level. GI was consulted but GI and primary team agreed that
risks of EGD outweighed benefits unless Hct unstable. Prior to
discharge she did have grossly apparent dark red blood in her
bowel movements suggestive of GI etiology. Patient was also
treated for kleibsella UTI during the admission. Due to her
increasingly difficult-to-manage systolic and diastolic CHF,
combined with increasingly severe renal failure and unknown
source of bleed decision was made for comfort focus and she was
discharged home with hospice.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**Age over 90 **] y/o F CHF, A Fib on coumadin, chronic thromboembolic PHTN who
presents with hematemesis. Patient recently discharged home with
hospice [**2199-2-8**] from [**Hospital1 1516**] service following complicated admission
with CHF exacerbation, renal failure and hematemesis.
.
# Hematemesis: Significant upper GI bleed with hematocrit drop
20 from most recent HCT of 25. Etiology most likely esophagitis,
gastritis versus peptic ulcer disease. Prior EGD [**2193**]
demonstrates gastritis (history of h. pylori). Patient given 10
mg IV vitamin K in ED. Patient home hospice/DNR/DNI prior to
admission, unfortunately unable to reach HCP at time of
presentation and thus she was intubated in the emergency
department. HCP was out of the country. Her [**Last Name (LF) 802**], [**Name (NI) **] was
the only family available by phone. Based on extensive
documention in OMR no central line, pressors or extreme
aggressive measures. We spoke with the hospice nurse involved
in the case as well as available family and decision was made
not to initiate any further invasive procedures.
.
# Positive Ua: Patient oliguric with multiple prior positive
cultures for KLEBSIELLA and is most likely colonized. Patient
treated last admission for Klebsiella with ceftriaxone. Abx
were held as most likely is colonized. Patient hypotensive
secondary to hypovolemia/blood loss and unlikely sepsis.
.
# CHF: Severe diastolic dysfunction and TR. Recent admission
with aggressive diuresis. This was monitored.
# Atrial fibrillation: Currently irregular rate. Patient is not
anticoagulated based on goals of care.
.
# CKD: Baseline renal insufficiency worsened last admission,
continues to climb. Lytes within normal limits. No further labs
were drawn after it was decided not to pursue further
monitoring.
.
# Goals of care: Patient recently discharged home with hospice
however was brought into ED for evaluation. Most likely
caretaker felt overwhelmed at home. Unfortunately, we are unable
to reach patient's HCP for further direction. Touched base with
primary providers, hospice nurse, and available family.
Confirmed that pt and HCP had decided on DNR/DNI, no furthe
treatment was initiated.
- DNR, no aggressive measures such as central access, pressors
.
# FEN: pRBC, replete electrolytes, NPO
# Prophylaxis: pneumoboots

Chief Complaint:
Word finding difficulty
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Craniotomy and drainage
History of Present Illness:
Pt is a 64 y/o male with a h/o AML/MDS, DM2, and COPD who
presented to clinic today for a routine visit with a complaint
of a difficulty finding words over the past week. He states this
came on suddenly. The primary trouble is with finding words to
describe what he wants to say, not actually articulating the
words. He denies any other neurologic symptoms, including
weakness (no stumbling, dropping items), loss of sensation, or
other confusion. Mr. [**Known lastname **] displays understanding of his
current situation and location. He denies any specific symptoms,
including fever/chills, headache, shortness of breath, chest
pain/pressure, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation,
melena/hematochezia, dysuria/hematuria, nosebleeds, and rashes.
Hhis speech prompted the team in the clinic to investigate these
symptoms, and an MRI/MRA demonstrated a left parietal fluid
collection.
In terms of his AML, Mr. [**Known lastname **] was treated with LODAC in [**2182**]
and subsequent to that has been on hydrea and donazol and has
been transfusion dependant. He is currently on hydroxyurea
only.
Past Medical History:
1.)AML, converted from MDS
2.)DM-2
3.)COPD
Social History:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] lives alone. His sister lives about one block from
him and is very supportive. He uses [**Company 107361**] the ride to get to
his [**Hospital1 107362**] clinic visits. He lived in [**State 15946**] for many years
where he worked at a VA. He also has worked as a taxi driver.

Brief Hospital Course:
64 y/o male with AML progressed from MDS currently being treated
with hydroxyurea who was admitted for a word finding difficulty
and was found to have a subdural bleed in the setting of
platelets of six.
1.)Subdural bleed -- The patient was initially brought up to a
platelet level of 50 and observed in the bone marrow unit. On
the second day of admission, he experienced a sudden, severe
headache and had a stat head CT, showing no definite change in
the size of the lesion or the degree of midline shift, yet due
to his symptoms, neurosurgery was consulted. They felt it
appropriate to take Mr. [**Known lastname **] to the OR where the subdural
bleed was drained; subsequent pathology demonstrated clotted
blood. He was kept in the neurosurgical ICU for two days where
he did well with no post-operative complications and was then
sent back to the bone marrow unit for further care. By his
return to BMT, his speech and confusion had greatly improved,
and his family members agreed that he was back to his baseline.
Throughout the remainder of the admission, he continued to
experience a slight headache, much improved from admission, that
was well relieved by 5mg of oxycodone. His word-finding
symptoms did not recur.
The main challenge was maintaining his platelets at a an
appropriate level due to his underlying myelodysplastic
syndrome. Per the neurosurgery team, his goal for platelets was
around 50 for three weeks; at the time of discharge, he will
require an additional week of platelets at this level, usually
achievable by giving two bags of platelets each morning,
checking a post transfusion count 30-60 minutes thereafter.
After this week has finished, he will be maintained at his prior
level, getting transfusion two to three times per week at
[**Hospital1 1388**] hematology clinic under the care of Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 1557**]. He will
follow-up with his hematologist, Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 1557**], for his AML in one
week and with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 739**], a neurosurgeon, in two weeks
(he will get a repeat CT scan at that time).
2.)AML -- Mr. [**Known lastname **] is being treated with hydroxyurea and
transfusions as needed. His WBC at [**Hospital1 18**] ranged between 12 and
28, generally around 14. His goal hematocrit was over 25, and
he generally required one unit of packed RBC's every three to
four days. Platelet requirements have been described above.
3.)Type two diabetes -- The prednisone Mr. [**Known lastname **] takes makes
his blood sugars somewhat difficult to control, however, a
regimen of Humalog 75/25 with 45 units every morning and 25
units at night seemed to work the best. He was also covered
with a routine regular insulin sliding scale for excessively
high values (usually starting at 2 units of regular insulin for
a glucose of 150-200, and going up by two units of insulin for
every 50mg/dl of blood glucose increase).
4.)COPD -- Mr. [**Known lastname **] was maintained on Advair 250/50, one
puff twice a day. He was also given an albuterol inhaler for
shortness of breath/wheezing that he rarely needed. He became
wheezier in the middle of the admission, and was given twice
daily scheduled albuterol nebs to which he responded well. We
would recommend continuing these for two more days, then
stopping them, leaving him on only Advair and as needed
albuterol inhalers.
5.)Fever -- One week prior to discharge, Mr. [**Known lastname **] had a
temperature to 101. His blood and urine cultures were negative.
Clinically and radiographically, his most likely source was
pulmonary, although the chest x-ray did not demonstrate an
obvious pneumonia. He was treated with levofloxacin, and will
finish his course with seven more days of antibiotics.

History of Present Illness:
61 yo Russian-speaking man w/anoxic brain injury and with hx of
DMI, s/p cadaveric kidney transplant([**2175**]), h/o CVA and chronic
aspiration (multiple admissions for aspiration PNA - last [**3-19**]),
CABG in [**2170**], widespread tracheomalacia with trach stent, and
recent admission to the ICU from [**Date range (2) 21579**] for PNA, stent
removal and tracheostomy. He was treated for aspiration PNA
with Vanc, Levo, Flagyl and then switched to Cefepime and
Azithro to complete a 10 day course. He was also given Cipro x
7 days for a UTI. He was discharged with a dobhoff feeding tube
and on tube feeds. He was found today at rehab to be hypoxic to
the mid-80s. Suction was attempted but did not show improvement
and he was sent to [**Hospital1 18**] ED.
.
In the ED, initial vs were: T100.4 HR102 BP163/93 RR24 O2sat96.
Patient was given Vanc, Cefepime, Azithro and Solumedrol 125mg
IV x 1. He was given Kayexalate PR for potassium of 5.7 and
aspirin for troponin of 0.62. He was seen by IP due to possible
air leak as he was pulling tidal volumes of 200. The plan was
to replace his trach once in the ICU.
.
On the floor, he appears comfortable, unable to answer
questions, not following commands.

BEDSIDE FRONTAL RADIOGRAPH OF THE CHEST: Bilateral airspace
opacities which are more confluent in the left lung, worrisome
for pneumonia. Distended azygous contour, could represent volume
overload with part of the RUL opacity representing early edema.
There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Heart size is
normal. Median sternotomy wire and mediastinal clips from prior
CABG are present. Tracheostomy tube is in standard location with
the tip terminating 3 cm above the carina.
.
IMPRESSION: Multifocal pneumonia with mild volume overload.

Radiology Report CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Study Date of [**2182-5-27**]
FINDINGS: Despite repeated image acquisition, the study is
limited by patient motion. Hyperdensity projecting over the left
inferolateral frontal lobe (3:20) is likely a bone-related
artifact in the setting of motion. Otherwise, there is no
evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, edema or
major vascular territorial infarct. The prominent ventricles and
sulci are unchanged in size or configuration. There is no shift
of normally midline structures. Moderate periventricular and
subcortical white matter hypodensities are compatible with known
chronic microvascular ischemic disease. Lacunar infarcts in the
basal ganglia are unchanged.
There is persistent moderate opacification of the left sphenoid
sinus.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of an acute intracranial process on
motion-limited evaluation.
2. Moderate chronic microvascular ischemic disease with numerous
lacunar
infarcts.
3. Unchanged moderate opacification of the left sphenoid sinus
without
evidence of acute sinusitis.
Radiology Report CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT Study Date of
[**2182-5-28**]
FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of [**5-24**], there has been
placement of a right PICC line that extends to the lower portion
of the SVC. There is increased aeration at the left base with
minimal residual atelectasis.
Nasogastric tube has been removed. Tracheostomy tube remains in
place.
Brief Hospital Course:
62 year old man with history of multiple strokes, type one
diabetes, and recurrent aspiration PNA s/p tracheostomy who
presents after witnessed aspiration event with hypoxia, diabetic
ketoacidosis, and NSTEMI.
.
#. Hypoxia: This was most likely due to an acute aspiration
event given his history and witnessed aspiration. He was
initially covered with broad spectrum antibiotics although
culture grew out sparse commensals and imaging was thought to be
more consistent with atelectasis and volume overload than
pneumonia so antibiotics were stopped after two days. He was
given bumex boluses to maintain fluid balance a negative fluid
balance until this volume overload resolved. His hypoxia
resolved after this.
.
#. NSTEMI: Patient with EKG changes, elevated cardiac biomarkers
with troponinT peaking at 1.8, and transthoracic echo with new
wall motion abnormalities. He was started on aspirin 325mg daily
and high dose statin initially. A heparin drip was continued for
48 hours. He was started on low dose beta blocker and
subsequently on clopidogrel. The cardiology service was
consulted and after discussion with the family the plan was for
in-patient cardiac catheterization. He was transfered to the
cardiology service for this. After discussion with the patient's
wife it was decided not to pursue cardiac catheterization due to
the patient being 5 days post medically treated NSTEMI and the
complications that could arise with this procedure. [**Hospital 21581**]
medical management was pursued.
.
#. CHF: Patient was found to be volume overloaded on admission.
This was thought to be the cause of his initial hypoxia and was
probably caused by his NSTEMI given the new wall motion
abnormalities and depressed EF of 35-40% (previously 55%) on
TTE. He was treated with bumex boluses and his volume overload
resolved. After resolution of the acute episode he remained
euvolemic and did not need further duiresis.
.
# Diabetic Ketoacidosis: In the emergency department, he had
hyperglycemia, an anion gap in the twenties, and ketones in the
urine on admission. The precipitant was thought to be cadiac
ischemia. Patient treated with insulin gtt with closure of
anion gap and return to normoglycemia. [**Last Name (un) **] was consulted
regarding glargine and insulin sliding scale dosing. He had
several episoded of hypoglycemia on his home dose of glargine
that were atributed to poor PO intake. Glargine was subsequently
decreased to 10 units at bedtime and his ISS was changed to
humalog and adjusted for meals. He then had episodes of
hyperglycemia and his HSS was adjusted further.
.
# Positive blood culture: He had one out of 2 sets of blood
cultures growing coag negative staph on [**5-20**] (with subsequent
negative blood cultures) and another [**2-9**] sets positive for coag
negative staph from [**5-29**] that came back after he was discharged.
This information was reported verbally to his nurse and by fax
to [**Hospital **] Hospital [**Hospital1 8**] where he is currently.
.
#. Acute renal failure: He was found to have an elevated
creatinine of 2.2, up from his baseline of 1.1-1.3. This was
thought to be pre-renal azotemia in the setting of dehydration
with osmotic diuresis due to DKA and poor forward flow due to
his NSTEMI and acute CHF exacerbation. His renal function
returned to baseline with gentle IVF initially and then with
diuresis. His medications were renally dosed and nephrotoxic
medications (enalpril) were held. The renal transplant team was
consulted given his history of cadevaric renal transplant in
[**2175**]. Once his renal function returned to his baseline enlapril
was re-started without complications.
.
#. Altered mental status: Patient was found to have acute mental
status change after he was transfered to the cardiology service
from the ICU. This was thought to be due delirium as the patient
was waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**] between agitation and somnolence. A CT
head was done to evaluate for an intracranial process causing
his AMS but this was negative. Infectious work up was also
negative. After reviewing patient's record it had been mentioned
in past discharge summaries that the patient had similar
episodes after long hospitalizations. He was treated with low
dose zyprexa prn which he received few doses of. His MS [**First Name (Titles) 21299**] [**Last Name (Titles) 21582**]r and he was back to his baseline on the day of
discharge.
.
#. Immunosuppression: s/p cadaveric renal transplant [**2175**]. His
tacrolimus level was monitored closely in the setting of acute
renal failure. He was continued on his home dosage for a goal of
[**4-13**]. The renal transplant service was consulted. He was
continued on cellcept and prednisone. He was continued on
bactrim.
.
#. Recurrent UTI: He recently completed a course of cipro for a
UTI. Urine culture grew out E.coli that was pan-resistant except
to nitrofurantoin (contraindicated in renal insufficiency)
ceftriaxone, ceftaz (allergy) and cefepime. He completed a 7
day course of cefepime.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] because you were breathing fast
and you oxygen was low. You were initially admitted to the
intensive care unit were they treated you for pneumonia. Upon
further testing you were found to have had a small heart attack.
We treated you with the appropriate medications for this. Your
heart attack caused acute systolic heart failure that we treated
with diuretics. This resolved with treatment and your heart
funtion remained stable. We spoke with your family about doing a
cardiac catheterization but this was not pursued as you had
already been treated medically. You also had a UTI and were
treated with antibiotics. You were found to be agitated and
disoriented at times but this improved. The diabetes doctors saw [**Name5 (PTitle) 17773**] and made changes to your insulin treatment. You should
follow the new sliding scale that was provided.

History of Present Illness:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 67988**] was diagnoses in [**8-13**] with GBM by stereotactic
brain bx and started on decadron and keppra. She received XRT
by 8 weeks and temazolamide for 3 weeks, discontinued due to
rash. Keppra was also discontinued at this time ([**2116-10-24**]). MRI
post XRT showed that the R. temperal parietal mass was stable
