woman with ams on scene s/p rollover reason for this examination: ?ich contraindications for iv contrast: none. indications: 18-year-old woman status post motor vehicle collision. comparisons: none. technique: non-contrast head ct. findings: there is a small left-sided acute subdural hematoma along the anterior left frontal convexity, up to 3 mm in thickness. there is also a suspected thin subdural along the posterior aspect of the falx cerebri up to 4 mm in diameter. a punctate 2 mm density in the subcortical white matter, within the right frontal lobe, is suggestive of a hemorrhagic contusion. additional punctate densities along the medial periventricular white matter adjacent to the right lateral ventricle, and within the right side of the corpus callosum, are suspicious for diffuse axonal injury with hemorrhage, based on their locations. there is no mass effect, hydrocephalus or shift of the normally midline structures. the ventricles, cisterns, and sulci are unremarkable without effacement. the -white matter differentiation appears preserved. there is a small air-fluid level in the left maxillary sinus which can be seen in intubation. there is slight mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus. the mastoid air cells are clear. the osseous structures are unremarkable. there is bilateral soft tissue swelling above the orbits anteriorly. impression: 1. small left frontal subdural hematoma, with suspected small subdural along the posterior falx cerebri as well. 2. small right frontal hemorrhagic contusion. 3. dense foci along the right lateral ventricle, and within the corpus callosum, suspicious for diffuse axonal injury with hemorrhage. the findings were discussed shortly after the study with dr. and posted to the er dashboard. when clinically appropriate, an mr is suggested in order to better evaluate the extent of injury, as mri is more sensitive, in particular, for detection diffuse axonal injury, particularly for foci not associated with hemorrhage. ct c-spine w/o contrast reason: ?fx medical condition: 18 year old woman with ams on scene s/p rollover reason for this examination: ?fx contraindications for iv contrast: none. indications: 18-year-old woman with altered mental status after motor vehicle accident. comparisons: none. technique: axial non-contrast ct images of the cervical spine were obtained, and sagittal and coronal reconstructions were also performed. findings: the alignment of the cervical spine is normal, without listhesis. there is no evidence of fracture, dislocation, bony destruction, or prevertebral soft tissue swelling. the osseous structures appear normal. the patient is intubated, and there is a nasogastric tube passing through the esophagus. in the left upper lobe, there is a peripheral 4-mm nodular density which may represent a lung nodule, or perhaps a small contusion, although there is no evidence of surrounding injury to suggest chest injury. there is mild dependent change in the visualized right apex. impression: 1. no evidence of fracture or dislocation. 2. small density in the left upper lobe, which could represent a small contusion or nodule. follow-up after three months is suggested to ensure resolution. chest (portable ap) reason: cp processes medical condition: 18 year old woman with fever reason for this examination: cp processes impression: 18-year-old with fever, status post motor vehicle accident. comparison: . findings: lungs are clear except some residual opacity in the right apex, not significantly changed from the previous examination. there are no pleural effusions. cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable. no evidence of central lymphadenopathy. right picc terminates in the distal svc. a feeding tube terminates in

trauma service. neurosurgery and plastic surgery were consulted because of her injuries. her neurosurgical issues were nonoperative; she was loaded with dilantin and continued on a scheduled dose for 10 days; serial head ct scans were followed and were stable. she will follow up in clinic in 5 weeks for repeat head ct scan. plastic surgery was consulted for her left hand degloving injury. she was taken to the operating room for repair of her extensor tendon and stsg. she will follow up with plastic surgery in weeks after discharge. because of her behavioral neurology was consulted as patient was having behavior issues; periods of extreme restlessness and agitation. during her icu stay she was receiving haldol and ativan and required 1:1 sitters. it was recommended that these agents be placed on hold as could have been contributing to her delirium. her behavior dramatically improved, mental status such that she knew the date and place. during her icu stay she was initially difficult to wean; discussions took place with family as to possibility of tracheostomy. she eventually was able to wean and then was extubated. she was transferred to the step-down unit days following her extubation. speech and swallow were evaluated early on during her hospital stay; initially she did not pass her bedside swallow; a dobhoff tube was placed and tube feedings were initiated. she was re-evaluated by speech several days later once her mental status improved; her diet was upgraded to nectar thick liquids and soft solids. her tube feedings were cycled; she was also placed on calorie counts. because of the dramatic improvement in her mental status it is expected that the dobhoff will be very short term and she will eventually have her diet upgraded with continued evaluation by slp once at rehab. on the morning of her discharge she was in the bathroom and while sitting on the toilet slipped hitting her right foot, on examination there was no point tenderness or swelling. no other injuries were identified. physical and occupational therapy were also consulted and have recommended rehab stay. case management initiated this process and she was accepted by . social work was closely involved with patient and family for coping and support. medications on admission: ocp discharge medications: 1. insulin regular human 100 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) injection four times a

native three vessel coronary artery disease with extensive bridging collaterals of the rca. 2. known occluded saphenous vein grafts. 3. patent lima to lad. 4. patent left subclavian stent. 5. mild mitral regurgitation. 6. mild systolic ventricular dysfunction. 7. mild right common-femoral vascular disease. comments: 1. coronary arteriography in this right dominant system showed native three-vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca had mild luminal irregularities. the lad artery was occluded in the mid-vessel. the left circumflex artery was proximally occluded with two distal oms with a "jump" segment filling via left to left collaterals. the rca was proximally occluded with many bridging collaterals supplying the distal rca and posterior lv branches. 2. saphenous vein grafts were known to be occluded from a prior catheterization dated and were therefore not visualized. 3. graft angiography showed a widely patent lima to lad, supplying the distal of the lad and large collaterals to the rca and r-pda. 4. left subclavian angiography showed a widely patent left subclavian stent. 5. resting hemodynamics showed normal left-sided filling pressure. 6. left ventriculography showed mild global hypokinesis with more pronounced hypokinesis of the inferior wall. there was trace mitral regurgitation. the calculated lvef was 45%. 7. limited left ilio-femoral peripheral angiography showed a mild 30% stenosis of the common femoral artery. ekg: afib, left axis deviation, st depression and twi in v2-v6. echo: study continues from tape w487 to tape w 509, starting at 0:15 for an additional seven minutes of recording. left atrium: mild la enlargement. right atrium/interatrial septum: mildly dilated ra. left ventricle: normal lv cavity size. suboptimal technical quality, a focal lv wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. depressed lvef. cannot assess lvef. right ventricle: rv not well seen. aorta: normal aortic root diameter. aortic valve: normal aortic valve leaflets (3). no as. no ar. mitral valve: mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. mild (1+) mr. tricuspid valve: mild tr. mild pa systolic hypertension. pericardium: no pericardial effusion. general comments: suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows. conclusions 1. the left atrium is mildly dilated. 2. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. lv systolic function appears depressed. overall left ventricular systolic function cannot be reliably assessed. 3. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. 4. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. cath: procedure date: indications for catheterization: ekg changes. final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. patent lima-lad comments: 1. selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system revealed three vessel disease. the lmca was diffusely disease. the lad was occluded mid-vessel and filled distally via the lima. the lcx was occluded proximally, and filled distally from collaterals from the lcx. the rca was occluded proximally and filled distally via bridging collaterals. 2. graft angiography revealed a patent lima-lad. the svgs were not imaged as they were known to be occluded. 3. left ventriculography was not performed. 4. the left subclavian stent was widely patent. liver or gallbladder ultrasound. indication: 74 year old female with abdominal pain, increased lfts. evaluate for gallstones, or liver disease. there are no prior studies for comparison. the patient is status post cholecystectomy. the common bile duct measures 5 mm, and is within normal limits status post cholecystectomy. the liver shows no focal abnormalities. the liver parenchyma is mildly hyperechoic in echotexture, consistent with fatty infiltration. the right kidney measures 8.3 cm. there is a mild hyperechoic focus within the interpolar right kidney, with no evidence of posterior shadowing, possibly representing a small parenchymal calcification within the lateral aspect of the right kidney, in the interpolar region, there is a 1.2-cm anechoic focus, most likely representing a simple cyst. the left kidney measures 8.1 cm, with no focal abnormalities. impression: 1) patient is status post cholecystectomy. 2) the liver is echogenic, consistent with fatty liver. however, other forms of liver disease, and more advanced liver disease, including significant hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis cannot be excluded on this study. chest x-ray: indication: shortness of breath, s/p extubation. check status. findings: a single ap semi-upright image. comparison study dated . the heart shows slight left ventricular enlargement. there is evidence of a prior cabg procedure. a vascular stent is noted in the left brachiocephalic vessel. the pulmonary vessels are normal. no pulmonary infiltrates are seen. there is slight blunting of the right costophrenic angle and slight widening of the minor fissure consistent with a small effusion. the hila and mediastinum are otherwise unremarkable. the ett and the ng line remain well positioned. impression: possible small right pleural effusion. no other acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. prior cabg surgery noted and prior left brachiocephalic stent in place. brief hospital course: 72 year-old woman with cad s/p cabg in , stent to left subclavian in , re-cath in 02 as above, history of chf, depressed ef, hypertension, afib astham/copd who presents now with increasing sob and anginal episodes after uri last friday. cardiovascular: a)ischemia: concerning past history, very high risk and now with good story for unstable angina admit. patient was ruled out for mi on admission. after stabilization of her pulmonary issues, given her history and an echo which could not fully assess lvef and could not rule out rwma, she went for cardiac catherterization and found to have no new lesions, patent lima to lad. patient maintained on ace, beta-blocker, statin, aspirin, imdur. imdur and beta-blocker titrated up. d/ced calcium channel blocker with likely systolic dysfunction and definite diastolic chf. sublingual nitro as needed. had been on mavik for unclear reason, tolerating ace here--would titrate up for heart failure as below. continues to have seom angina with stress. b)pump: patient noted to have depressed ef in past-35%? but no recent echo on admission. echo here showed: 1. the left atrium is mildly dilated. 2. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. lv systolic function appears depressed. overall left ventricular systolic function cannot be reliably assessed. 3. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. 4. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. on admission, the patient was felt to be euvolemic to slightly volume overloaded and gently diuresed but her sob was primarily due to astham/copd exacerbation. after transfer to icu(see below) patient received lots of fluids and needed to be diuresed. diuresed adequately for discharge--felt to be dry for discharge by exam and labs. given that she was acutely decompensated from pulmonary perspective and volume overloaded when echo was done, it was not felt to be fully accurate of baseline status. maintained on beta-blocker, ace for ischemia and hf. should titrate ace/beta to hf goals based on repeat echo (lisinopril 20/toprol 150). c)rhythm; afib: has always been rate controlled, never cardioverted. poor control now and had sensation of palpitations on night pta. unclear if ratelead to chf or chf lead to increased rate and component of ischemia?--increaed demand leading to ischemia vs. ischemia leading to tachy-- patient maintained on metoprolol for rate control with good affect. had been on dilt but with ? heart failure, systolic-held and went up on beta-blocker for control. concerning anti-coagulation, we are holding coumadin until patient has outpatient colonoscopy-had guiac positive stools and crit drop (also with neck hematoma after central line placement.) scheduled for outpatient colonoscopy and then to re-start coumadin then. shortness of breath/hypoxemia: chf vs. post uri reactive airways disease vs. copd vs. pe vs. pneumonia--on admission, sob felt secondary to astham exacerbation-patient acutely decompensated, wheezy on exam, sent to unit on day 2 of admission for intubation. treated with predniesone, flovent, azithromycin then levaquin as well as nebs/inhalers. had 5 day icu stay and then was transferred out. by discharge, not wheezy satting well on room air. felt to be rad post bronchitis. was not fluid overloaded on admit--was diuresed after icu stay with lots of fluids. on discharge satting well on room air. anemia at baseline/crit drop/guiaic positive: patient had crit drop while in icu. she had a hematoma after central line placement as well as guiac positive stools. was on heparin during this time for her afib, stopped at this time. she stabilized after transfusion in icu, and needed no further transfusions. neck hematoma is resolving. guiac positive stools-she is scheduled for outpatient colonoscopy. re-address anti-coagulation for afib after this. do not want her on iron until after colonoscopy. elevated lft's, tbili and ptt: after being off heparin (on it for afib), stopped for crit drop in ptt remained elevated. was on subcu heparin, lft's obtained which showed mild transaminase elevation and t bili elevation. subcu heparin stopped, ruq u/s obtained showed fatty liver/h/o cholecystectomy. lft's, t. bili and ptt trended down on

allergies: altace / bactrim attending: chief complaint: chest pain, hematochezia major surgical or invasive procedure: ia tpa, merci clot retrieval history of present illness: 79 yo female with cad s/p cabg in , recent cath with only lima-lad patent, htn, hlp, copd, and afib who presents with 5 day history of red/maroon stools. patient was at her pcp's office earlier last week and was found to be anemic (hct not in system) and was planned for a colonscopy this week. she was at home, and earlier today developed substernal chest pressure that was persistent. she describes this pressure as a squeezing sensation, different and worse than her usual anginal symptoms for which she takes nitro. usually her pain occurs with exertion or at night when she's not wearing her oxygen and is limited to her arm, but today it was also in her chest as well. she described the pain as initially, and nitro at home did not help, nor did increasing her o2 from 2-> 3l. . in the ed, initial vs: 97.8, 99, 116/, 24, 100%ra. initially, the patient was noted to have bright red blood on rectal exam. she was tachycardic to the low 100s, but bp remained stable. she received nitro sl and morphine which

severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 20-30 %) with regional variation. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size is normal. with severe global free wall hypokinesis. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior report (images unavailable for review) of , the left ventricular ejection fraction is markedly reduced. . cxr :findings suggesting mild congestive heart failure. ct head, cta head/neck, ctp non-contrast ct: there is no evidence of acute intracranial or parenchymal hemorrhage. there is mild bihemispheric hypoattenuation of the periventricular and subcortical white matter consistent with sequelae of small vessel ischemic disease. the bilateral basal ganglia show small hypoattenuations consistent with old lacunar infarcts. there is calcification of the intracranial carotid artery. also noted is a left maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. the other paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. cta of the neck and head: there is abrupt cutoff of the right mca at the junction of the m1 and m2 segments. this represents a thrombus within the right mca . also noted is calcification of the bilateral carotid bulbs. the remaining intracranial and cervical vessels are unremarkable. the vertebral and carotid ostia are unremarkable. a stent is noted in the left subclavian artery which is patent. also noted are sternotomy wires, bibasilar atelectatic changes in the visualized lung apices and a hypoplastic or absent thyroid gland. clinical correlation is recommended. there are several enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, the largest of which is precarinal and measures 14.3 mm. ct perfusion: there is increased mean transit time in a large right mca territory distribution in the right frontoparietal region. this is associated with decreased cerebral blood flow but normal cerebral blood volume. this likely represents an acute large infarct with some mismatch possibly representing an area of penumbra. rotation of the c1 over c2 vertebra is likely positional in nature. impression: acute right mca vascular territory infarct as described above. ct head impression: no intracranial

initally where she was transfused with hct back up to 31, c/b nstemi with chf. . # stroke: has h/o afib but her anticoagulation was held in the setting of acute gib complicated by nstemi. it was felt she would restart asa 325mg upon discharge. the pt was intact neurologically throughout admission until when she was found to have acute onset dysarthria, l facial droop, l hemiparesis. code stroke was called and pt was found to have r mca embolic infarct on ct head. she was sent emergently to neuro ir for ia tpa and merci clot retrieval. she was initially transferred to the neuro icu and has been continuing to improve clinically. her coumadin has been re-started and her hematocrit has remained stable. her ldl was 33 and hba1c was 5.5. her inr on day of transfer () was 3.1 and today's dose will be held. please monitor daily for goal . . # hematochezia: likely due to angiodysplasia vs diverticulosis as pt had colonoscopy in with only polyps. on transfer out of the micu her hct was up to 31 (was initially 22.5 on admission) after 3u prbc. while on the floor she was transfused 1 more unit of blood and her hct was maintained around 30 without any evidence of gi bleeding (stools were without blood). she was continued on po pantoprazole. her hematocrit has remained stable in the low 30s. gastroenterology plans to perform a colonoscopy as an outpatient in weeks. given her other comorbidities and stable hematocrit it was decided to defer this procedure at this immediate time. . # nstemi: patient has known bad coronary disease with diseased grafts as well taking up to 3 ntg daily for anginal pain. patient's initial ecg with afib with rvr and lateral std and twi; most likely due to demand ischemia. pt had cp and 1st set ce was neg, but then subsequent had trp peak up to 1.8 (ck 556, ckmb 10.4) c/w nstemi in setting of acute lower gi bleed. cardiology was consulted and recommended holding anticoagulation until she was stable from her gib. her chest pain improved with transfusions, nitro, and morphine, and now pt has been cp free while on the floor. she was started on metoprolol 25 tid, atorvastatin 80mg. her lisinopril and imdur were held to avoid hypotension in the setting of gib. her lisinopril has been resumed and her blood pressure has been well-controlled. . # dyspnea/tachypnea: patient has copd at baseline, and uses o2 (2l) at night for comfort and angina with exertion. during the day, she should be using her o2 but she has not been using it due to difficulty with portability. now with ef 20-30% severely dropped form 50% in , likely due to nstemi. also likely worsened initially in micu in the setting of volume (blood, ffp, and ivfs). diuresed well with iv lasix in the micu and on the floor. she was started on po 20mg lasix daily and maintained on her fluticasone and ipratropium nebs. she is currently doing well on her home requirements of 2l o2 via nasal cannula. . # afib: patient on metoprolol and coumadin as an outpatient. given her above h/o gib complicated by nstemi, cardiology/gi consults recommended that due to her chads2 score of 3 she should be restarted on asa 325mg once her gib was stabilized. it was felt that the pt would have this started upon d/c. despite these efforts the pt suffered from an embolic stroke entailed above and therefore will be continued on coumadin with goal inr . . # hypothyroidism:

started on a heparin drip. she was taken to the gi suite on for endoscopy which showed an "ulcerated mass with necrotic base highly suggestive of carcinoma" in the cecum. she had a ct scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis to assess for metastasis and further define the tumor. it confirmed colonoscopy findings and did not show evidence of metastasis. she was taken to the operating room for a right colectomy with dr. of colorectal surgery on . there was 500 cc of estimated blood loss.please refer to dr. operative note for further details. she was started on cipro/flagyl prophylactically after the procedure. after a brief stay in the pacu she was transferred to the floor but over the course of the night had low urine output, her blood pressure dropped to the systolic 80s/40s and her atrial fibrillation frequently took her heart rate to the 120s-130s. she was transferred to the icu given her extensive cardiac history and unclear etiology of her hypotension -- cardiogenic vs. septic. she was continued on antibiotic coverage and the plan was for volume resuscitation with close monitoring of other aspects of her clinical picture. she was asymptomatic and felt well throughout the process, though somewhat tired. she was transfused one unit of prbcs, volume resuscitated with crystalloid and albumin and eventually her systolic pressures returned to the 90s-100s systolic. she was deemed stable for transfer to the floor. on pod 5 she reported passing flatus, she was advanced in diet progressive to a low-residue regular diet on pod 8. remaining aspects of her hospitalization, by systems: neuro: no issues. pain controlled on a regimen of iv and po medications when tolerating. mental status appropriate throughout hospitalization. cardiac: multiple cardiac issues assessed by cardiology service preoperatively and which recommended continuing current care. multiple episodes of anginal chest pain relieved with sublingual nitroglycerin. no ekg changes until pod 7 when chest pain was accompanied by questionable ischemic changes on ekg. cardiology recommended nitroglycerin prn as well as cycling enzymes which returned at 0.05->0.05->0.04. her afib was monitored on telemetry and she was treated with 5 mg iv lopressor q6 hours when npo and transitioned to 25 mg po bid. respiratory: baseline used oxygen at home was kept on 2l oxygen in the hospital and maintained good saturations in the high 90 percents. she did have some respiratory difficulty and increased oxygen requirement while in the icu but this resolved after effective diuresis. at time of discharge satting 90s on room air. heme: once the patient's hematocrit was stable, a heparin drip was started to bridge her to coumadin therapy. however, patient developed melenic stools and hematuria when heparin drip restarted. all anticoagulation except aspirin was held and no further episodes of bleeding occured. patient's coumadin will need to be restarted when her nutritional status is more improved. id: cipro/flagyl initially post-operatively and dc'd on pod 7. afebrile throughout course. complained of vaginal itching, given single dose of oral diflucan. course pt was transferred to the

could also be related to evolving sepsis picture she is currently on cipro/flagyl since last night. given extensive cards history could also be cardiogenic shock related to missed event given her 500cc blood loss intraoperatively and prior hx of ischemic event in setting of blood loss in 01/. lower concern for this given current clinical and exam status. given hx of recurrent utis (on home macrobid suppressive tx) could also be related to urosepsis. currently mentating at baseline. plan to volume resuscitate until increase in o2 requirement. she received 1u prbc on arrival to floor with 500cc lr ivf boluses x 2. her bp improved to 90-110 wo pressors. she did not require a cvl and declined this on her icu consent form as well. nicom was placed which showed 33% change in ci, indicating likely fluid responsiveness. her uo improved to 20cc/hr but remained there with crystalloid boluses. per surgery recs, she was changed to albumin 5% ivf hydration. she was given lasix for volume overload xxxx. she was broadened to vancomycin, zosyn and ciprofloxacin for double gnr coverage overnight given higher likelihood of gi etiology related to recent surgery and instrumentation. given her remarkable hemodynamic improvement overnight she was changed back to cipro/flagyl. she was recultured for urine and blood. her ekg was checked and at baseline. cardiac enzymes were cycled and

allergies: aspirin causes eye swelling in eyes. medications: codeine exact prescription unknown. family history: the patient has a sister with cell disease and is thought to have cell trait. social history: the patient was endorsed that she had been sexually active in the past but denies unprotected intercourse. denies intravenous drug use, alcohol or tobacco. as previously mentioned, the patient is a recently emigrated haitian. she joined her brother and sister here in the united states and leaves a mother in . physical examination: upon presentation to the emergency department, the patient is described as a somewhat frail- appearing haitian woman in some distress. she had a temperature maximum and temperature currently of 97.8 degrees. she was extremely tachycardiac at 170 beats per minute. blood pressure was 142/100. respirations 30s, sating 100 percent on a nonrebreather mask but 91 percent on room air. in general, she was pale and cachectic using accessory muscles for breathing. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination showed dry mucous membranes and unable to visualize posterior discs. neck is supple, there is, however, a small 1 cm scar seen on the left side, no evidence of any thyromegaly or anterior or posterior lymph node chain adenopathy. chest shows decreased breath sounds bilaterally but in particular on the left side. there are coarse crackles throughout bilaterally. cardiac examination is tachycardiac, no evidence of any murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended with positive bowel sounds. extremities, show 2 plus lower extremity edema. laboratory results on presentation: sodium 135, potassium 8.8, chloride 100, carbon dioxide 23, bun 10, creatinine 0.5, glucose 92, white blood cell count 14.4, hematocrit 26.9, platelets 720, lactate 1.2, liver function tests pending at the time of admission. radiology: the patient had a patchy interstitial infiltrates, left side greater than right with left pleural effusions as well as some poorly differentiated pleural thickening throughout. brief hospital course: based on the patient's initial presentation, it was thought that her presentation was a most likely acute and chronic etiology. scenarios considered were pneumonia, pulmonary embolism secondary to recent air travel, severe asthma. given the tachypnea and poor oxygenation, the patient was admitted directly to the cardiac intensive care unit. there she was made a full code. shortly after arrival, therapeutic thoracentesis was performed. this removed greater than 250 mm of serosanguinous fluid from the left side. there was some improvement in her pulmonary function thereafter. within two hours of presentation to the medical intensive care unit the patient became tachypneic and arterial blood gases showed increasing difficulty with oxygenation. she was shortly intubated thereafter with confirmation of placement of an endotracheal tube via chest x- ray. bronchoscopy performed soon thereafter likewise showed good placement of her endotracheal tube. aspiration showed a large amount of purulent, sometimes bloody material within the lung parenchyma. thereafter the patient's presentation became increasingly consistent with aseptic etiology. she was started on zigress per the sepsis protocol. by morning, her respiratory status had worsened and again there became increasing problems with oxygenation. initial consultation by cardiac surgery for possible extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was obtained and cardiac surgery deemed the patient an appropriate candidate and emphasized their readiness to perform procedure as necessary. this initial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation evaluation took place on . however, the decision was made to delay extracorporeal membrane oxygenation over night and to reassess in the morning. by hospital day number 2, the patient's presentation had evolved to florid sepsis. human immunodeficiency virus tests as well as critical stem tests had all come back negative. by mid morning, the patient had been maxing out all of her ventilation possibilities and oxygenation was still extremely challenged. bedside echocardiogram showed evidence of a large pericardial effusion. it was not clear if this was secondary to the pneumonia, pulmonary embolism or other etiology. cardiology was consulted and the decision was made to do a pericardiocentesis. the procedure was performed at the bedside under ultrasound guidance. during this maneuver, there was some damage noted to the right ventricle, most likely secondary to a large dilated ventricle in the setting of high right-sided pressures. the patient was taken emergently to the operating room. in the operating room a midline sternotomy was performed and a pericardial tamponade was repaired. during the course of this repair, several lesions in the surface of the heart and lungs were noted. these were biopsied intraoperatively. initial intraoperative pathology showed pathology consistent with neuroendocrine carcinoma, again highly unusual for a woman of this age and this presentation. given the unclear etiology of these lesions and the patient's overall presentation, decision was made to continue aggressive treatment and while in the operating room the patient was catheterized per the right femoral vein and artery and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was started. the patient at that time was transferred to the cardiothoracic surgery unit and her care team was transferred from the medical service to the cardiac surgery service under the care of dr. . over the next 48 hours, the patient remained reasonably stable on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. her oxygenation was maintained. a chest x-ray showed a gradually improving lung field, although the starting point from this was complete whiteout of both fields. a single sputum culture did show streptococcus pneumonia. the patient was started empirically on vancomycin, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin. while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, the patient's sedation was lightened intermittently and she was confirmed to be able to move all four extremities. she likewise underwent daily bronchoscopy and several mucous plugs and purulent material was removed from her lungs. on hospital day 5 through 7, intense review of the surgical samples was undergone by the pathology department in concert with the oncology group. initial staining of the tissue likewise was thought to be neuroendocrine tumor, however, subsequent specialized staining with amino peroxidase showed this tumor to, in fact, to be consistent with a poorly differentiated large cell carcinoma. in further reviewing the patient's history, both by record and in discussion with her siblings and her mother in , it appears that the patient had a small lesion removed from her neck somewhere in the republic. the exact nature of this mass, its size, pathology and follow up was never obtained although it was thought to be quite suspicious. by hospital day 9 or postoperative day 6, final evaluation by oncology had been completed and in discussion with the primary team, oncology and the patient's family decision was made that attempt would be made to wean her from the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, given that there was no clear interventions to be directed towards the cancer itself. on , , after intensive optimization of her ventilator settings, fluid status and introduction of nitric oxide, attempt was made to wean the patient from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. this was tried unsuccessfully during the course of the day and by late in the afternoon, the patient ultimately had to be returned to full extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. by the following day after an additional review by the cardiac surgery service, opinion rendered by the ethics support service, dr. , and position taken by the legal department, decision was made for a final wean of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine. prior to this maneuver, the patient's brother and sister were intensively consulted, and indeed spent much of day in the patient's room. several conference calls were initiated both directly and through a creole translator to the patient's mother in . pastoral services as well as ethics committee were consulted throughout this and the patient's family was fully aware and in agreement of what was happening with the patient. at approximately 2 pm in the afternoon of , the patient's ventilator settings were once again optimized. a surgical team was brought into her intensive care room and after complete wean of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, vascular surgery service decannulated intake and output catheters and closed the enterotomies in both vessels. over the next two to three hours, the patient required increasing pressure support, maxing out levophed, epinephrine, natrecor, neo-synephrine and ventilator settings, none of which were to maintain a blood pressure compatible with life. lactaid increasingly increased. likewise ph dropped consistently to 7.1 despite several cycles of bicarbonate. at approximately 7 pm the patient became asystolic and unresponsive to further chemical interventions. there were several long discussions at that time with the patient's brother and sister as well as various members of the creole community. several hours later, a conference call was set up and in the company of the intensive care unit staff, the patient's brother and sister informed the mother of the sister's passing. the patient's mother did appear willing and anxious to have an autopsy performed and this was arranged. the patient's case was presented to the medical examiners office and likewise was declined. , Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours

course: 1. ugib/cirrhosis: the patient presented from and an outside hospital after suffering a severe upper gi bleed, hypotension, and hypovolemia. he was resuscitated with prbc and ivf, and sent to the micu. the etiology was considered likely variceal in nature, given the briskness of his bleed, and history of heavy etoh use. he had had multiple egd's at showing varices, portal gastropathy, but required no egd-interventions (ie. cautery or clipping). of note, hepatitis a titers were positive. he was started on lactulose, ppi, nadolol, spironolactone and lasix. the latter two were discontinued given declining renal function. his hct remained stable on the floor thereafter, with levels in the high 20's to low 30's. he was completd on a course of levofloxain and flagyl for sbp ppx in the setting of an ugib. he was discharged with liver follow-up. 2. confusion: he was seen by neurology while in the micu who felt that the differential diagnosis for this patient included, alcoholic encephalopathy, anoxic brain injury, or hepatic encephalopathy. his eeg, head mri and head ct were negative. his mental status improved, with sedation avoidal and treatment of his liver disease, as noted above. 4. fevers (uti and le dvt): while in the micu, he was treated with a course of vancomycin for gram positive cocci in his sputum, and he received a course of levo/flagyl for sbp prophylaxis. once on the floor, he continued to have persistent low grade fevers. multiple urine/blood/peritoneal fluid cultures were negative. a ct of the torso did not show any source. however, a clot in the left common femoral vein, which was confirmed by ultrasound, was seen. further, his urine cultures later grew out vre. regrading the clot, an ivc filter was placed (given the fact he was not a anticoagulate candidate and the high probability of the acuity of the clot because of recent femoral line placement). he was started on a short course of linezolid for the uti. it was unclear if the clot or the uti were the cause of his fevers. 5. arf: the patient had normal renal function at baseline. he evidenced an acute decline in his gfr after a ct contrast dye exposure and his creatinine peaked in the low 2.0's. it improved thereafter. he had a possible atn (with fena at 6%) and was managed with gentle hydration. 6. alcoholism: he had nos signs of withdrawal over his course. he was seen by the addiction service, social work and was advised to enter a detoxification center upon discharge from his rehab facility. medications on admission: meds on transfer: nadolol

ventricular cavity size is normal. there is infero-lateral hypokinesis. the remaining lv segments appear hyperdynamic and therefore the overall left ventricular systolic function is preserved (lvef = 55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the lvef has improved. cta cap: impression: 1. no evidence of aortic dissection or endograft leak s/p aortic aneurysm endograft repair. 2. focal thickening in the duodenum with some adjacent fat stranding, suggestive of duodenitis. 3. interval improvement in the left lower lobe consolidation. 4. air in the bladder. correlate for recent catheterization. otherwise, may represent infection. correlate with urinalysis. egd findings: findings: esophagus: normal esophagus. stomach: mucosa: diffuse continuous moderate inflammation of the mucosa with no bleeding was noted in the antrum. duodenum: mucosa: diffuse continuous marked inflammation of the mucosa with no bleeding was noted throughout the duodenum. excavated lesions a single cratered non-bleeding 20mm ulcer was found in the proximal bulb. a small visible vessel was present in the center of the ulcer. clipping was attempted, but three endoquick clips were non-adherent. some oozing was noted after the clipping attempt, 4cc of epinephire were injected at the ulcer border at three separate sites. impression: moderate inflammation in the antrum marked inflammation in the duodenum ulcer in the proximal bulb otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum brief hospital course: # gi bleed: patient presented with 4 day history of vomiting and melena without any po intake and abdominal pain. on his first night he displayed no symptoms. the following morning, pt's inr was found to be 2.3. hematocrit dropped to 22 from 30.2 egd cancelled. 2 u ffp transfused followed by 2 units prbcs in preparation for egd. during administration of 1st unit of blood, called to bedside for a trigger: patient had chest pain with st depression in i, ii, avf, v3-6. resolved with sl nitroglycerin. lipitor 80mg, lopressor 25mg po tid restarted. after discussion with cardiology & geriatrics (primary) 325mg asa started. intermediate hct drawn after 1.5 units prbc administered showing 21.2. at this point the unit was consulted. no blood per rectum, no hemtatemesis. patient has no new complaints at this time. during his icu admission, the patient received 5 units prbcs. initially, he did not have an appropriate hct bump, but then he began to bump appropriately and was hemodynamically stable for transfer to the floor. he had no further episodes of melena or chest pain. his cardiac enzymes began to trend downwards. his hct goal was greater than 30 given dynamic ecg changes and likely ischemia. he was then transferred back to the floor since he remained hemodynamically stable and bumping appropriately to prbcs with no further transfusions. egd done which showed non-bleeding ulcer in duodenal bulb with visible vessel that was not able to be clipped. it was injected with epinephrine. no further bleeding while admitted. h. pylori igg was checked and was found to be positive prior to discharge. patient was discharged on 2 week course of triple therapy for h. pylori. # pneumonia: patient admitted with picc line in place from mssa pneumonia. nafcillin course completed on , no signs or symptoms of pneumonia on this admission. picc line was discontinued prior to discharge. # hypertension: the patient was initially maintained on home regimen of amlodipine, hydralazine and lopressor until transfer to the micu. his lopressor was decreased to 12.5 mg tid given hr in the 50s on telemetry. his hydralazine was ultimately decreased to 50mg tid. he was started on lisinopril for bp control in the setting of recent mi. bp well-controlled at the time of discharge. # anxiety: the patient was initially maintained on home regimen of effexor & xanax. # aaa repair: assessed and cleared by surgery that examined the ct and felt there were no issues with the graft. # chronic back

history of present illness: this is a 79-year-old male with a history of coronary artery disease status post right coronary stent, deep venous thrombosis, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peptic ulcer disease, hypertension presenting from with confusion, hematemesis, and high white count. the patient was recently admitted from to for a right hip open reduction internal fixation status post a fall. he was also treated with levofloxacin from to for presumed urinary tract infection. on admit he complained of several bouts of diarrhea over the past few days prior to admission as well as fevers and chills. he has a history of recurrent aspiration pneumonia but did not complain of a cough. the day prior to admit he complained of abdominal pain diffusely with bloody emesis times one concurrent with a nosebleed. the morning of admission he was found to be diaphoretic, pale, and his white count was elevated to 34. in the emergency department he received vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and flagyl empiric. his hematocrit was found to be 29 and decreased to 17. after one unit of packed red cells it was improved to 26. he was guaiac negative and trace guaiac positive brown stool. nasogastric lavage was clear with flecks of blood. chest x-ray was negative. abdominal ct showed no acute process. his systolic blood pressure in the emergency department dropped to the 80s which was responsive to intravenous fluid boluses. his heart rate also transiently decreased to the 40s with an atrial arrhythmia. he was given two liters of normal saline as well as two units of packed red cells. past medical history: coronary artery disease status post non-st elevation myocardial infarction status post right coronary artery

history of present illness: the patient is a 76 year-old male with a history of esophageal cancer, type 2 diabetes, who presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of weakness. the patient has been in declining health since secondary to his esophageal cancer and has noted decreasing po intake secondary to mucositis over the last few months. the patient has also complained of increasing bilateral lower extremity edema over the last month and has been seen by his primary care physician in the past for intravenous fluid administration. on the day of presentation the patient once again presented originally to his primary care physician, . , requesting intravenous fluid administration. the patient was thought to be significantly dehydrated on examination and was therefore referred to the emergency department for evaluation. in the emergency department the patient was noted to have a heart rate in the 140s with progressive hypoxia to as low as 77% on a nonrebreather. the patient was subsequently immediately admitted to the intensive care unit for progressive hypoxia. review of systems: positive for a cough for the last three to four weeks, which was worse when he attempted to eat or drink anything, as well as a low grade temperature and chills for the last two days. the patient also has noted significantly increasing leg edema over the last few weeks. at the time of admission to the emergency department, the patient tripped and fell and hit his head on his way into the emergency department. past medical history: 1. esophageal cancer treated with local radiation therapy, 5fu, cisplatin diagnosed in . 2. status post billroth 2 in the secondary to peptic ulcer disease. 3. type 2 diabetes mellitus times ten years. 4. polio as a child. 5. questionable

cerebellar area. ct of the chest, diffuse infiltrate consistent with congestive heart failure, but no evidence of pe. electrocardiogram, atrial flutter at 150 beats per minute. hospital course: the patient was noted to have marked hypoxia at the time of admission, which was originally thought to be secondary to a pe, however, his ct angiogram was negative. the ct scan also demonstrated evidence of an alveolar process, which was felt to be congestive heart failure versus pneumonia. given the lack of fever, sputum or increased white blood cell counts and given the patient's symptoms of increasing lower extremity edema, it was felt to be most likely secondary to congestive heart failure. however, the patient was also noted to have a supraventricular tachycardia versus atrial flutter of unclear etiology. the patient was treated with intravenous diltiazem push without change in his pulse, however, his systolic blood pressure did drop to the 70s. therefore an emergent cardiology consult was obtained and cardioversion was attempted with conscious sedation. further diuresis was put on hold pending potential cardioversion. however, cardioversion was attempted with 200 jewels and then 300 and 360 jewels without success resulting in a rhythm of multifocal atrial tachycardia. cardiology consult subsequently recommended attempting rate control with an esmolol drip, initiating gentle diuresis and obtaining a portable echocardiogram to assess function and valvular disease. the patient was placed on an esmolol and a neo-synephrine drip, which were titrated as needed to keep a mean blood pressure of greater then 60 and a rate less then 100. the patient was treated with lasix for gentle diuresis and cardiac enzymes were cycled to evaluate for the potential of myocardial ischemia as an initiating event. the patient's multifocal atrial tachycardia persisted and an echocardiogram was obtained. the echocardiogram demonstrated 4+ mr with a flail mitral leaflet and a normal end systolic dimensions. a vegetation could not be definitively ruled out. given that blood cultures obtained at the time of admission were subsequently demonstrating gram positive coxae in pairs and chains it was felt the patient was most likely suffering from endocarditis. by this time the patient was hemodynamically stable, however, with persistent mat. given the acute onset of mitral regurgitation vasodilator therapy such as ace inhibitor and nitroglycerin were initiated as tolerated. the possibility of surgical correction was discussed with the patient and his family who stated that they did not want surgery under any circumstances. therefore it was determined to attempt medical management of the patient's acute mitral regurgitation and endocarditis. as the patient underwent gentle diuresis his oxygen saturations began to improve and his supplemental oxygen needs were slowly titrated down. the patient's neo-synephrine drip was titrated off and the patient was started on captopril .i.d. an infectious disease consult was obtained to help in the management of endocarditis. the infectious disease consult recommended removing the patient's port-a-cath so that the infection would be easier to cure with antibiotics. they felt the most likely bug responsive was staph aureus versus enterococcus versus strep viridans versus a coag negative staph and therefore requested treatment with penicillin. given the patient's history of a penicillin allergy desensitization to the drug was initiated per protocol. the patient's blood culture results demonstrated enterococcus, which was ampicillin sensitive and therefore the patient was placed on penicillin therapy intravenously with gentamycin for synergy for two weeks after therapy. over the next few hospital days the patient's captopril dose was titrated up as tolerated and his supplemental oxygen requirement was titrated down. the patient's heart rate remained tachycardic, which is felt to be likely a compensatory response given the patient's poor forward flow secondary to acute mitral regurgitation. on the patient was felt to be stable enough to be transferred to the floor. the patient had been off of pressor therapy for the last 48 hours and was tolerating low doses of ace inhibitor for afterload reduction. however, on the evening following transfer to the flor the patient became suddenly tachycardic and hypotensive with a blood pressure in the 70s and a heart rate in the 150s. the patient was treated with 5 mg intravenous lopressor times three with some decrease in his heart rate, but little change in the blood pressure. the patient was subsequently given a normal saline bolus of 250 cc times three and then loaded on digoxin therapy. the patient appeared to respond well to the beta blocker with a decrease in his heart rate, however, additional fluid therapy did little to help the patient's blood pressure and resulting in a significantly worsened oxygen requirement. therefore the patient was treated once again with lasix and over the next few hospital days a careful balance was maintained between controlling the patient's heart rate and not dropping his blood pressure too low. the patient was therefore continued on standing doses of captopril, lopressor and digoxin as well as prn lasix doses, which were titrated up as tolerated over the next few hospital days. the patient maintained a systolic blood pressure in the high 80s to low 90s, however, he tolerated this blood pressure well with adequate urine output and normal mentation. a picc line was placed for long term administration of antibiotic therapy. given the length (two weeks) of gentamycin therapy for synergy against enterococcus the concern for ototoxicity was raised and an audiology consult was obtained. audiology recommended that the patient already had some hearing loss prior to admission for which he was seeking amplification therapies and recommended as little gentamycin as possible with follow up audiology testing following release from the hospital. following transfer to the floor the patient's rhythm converted from a multifocal atrial tachycardia to atrial fibrillation. the patient was currently on digoxin and lopressor for rate control and the patient's heart rate was maintained in the 90s to low 100s. the possibility of cardioversion as a potential therapeutic option was discussed with cardiology who recommended that it was possible that his hemodynamics may improve with cardioversion to normal sinus rhythm. given the state of the patient's mitral valve endocarditis it was unlikely that the patient would be able to maintain his heart rate and normal sinus rhythm successfully. in addition, cardiology recommended that consideration be given to starting the patient on coumadin therapy and this was echoed by the patient's primary oncologist. therefore the patient was started on low dose coumadin therapy with a goal inr of 2.0 to 2.5. at this point given the difficulty of maintaining the patient with adequate blood pressure and heart rate a family meeting was obtained in order to evaluate the patient and families goals in the setting of the medical problems. the results of the family meeting suggested that the family and the patient were hoping that the patient would improve enough to go to a rehab and they did want to complete antibiotic therapy for the current endocarditis. however, the family and the patient all understood the tenuous state of the patient's current health and that while our current medical therapies might provide the patient some degree of improvement. they were incapable of curing the patient's primary problem and would likely only help with short term benefits. however, the patient and his family once again reiterated their desire not to undergo surgical correction of his valvular disease. over the next few hospital days the patient continued to improve very slowly with mild decreases in his lower extremity edema and subjective decreases in shortness of breath and fatigue. however, the patient continued to demonstrate mild setbacks such as on when the patient was transferring from bed to chair and became acutely short of breath with a subsequent heart rate in the 150s, systolic blood pressure in the 60s and a drop in his oxygen saturations to 80 to 85%. at this point, however, the patient was treated with intravenous lopressor 5 mg times two doses with a subsequent drop in his heart rate to the 100s and a bump in his systolic blood pressure to the 190s. therefore it was demonstrated that the patient did well when his lopressor was administered despite low blood pressures, because his blood pressure acutely responsive to his heart rate. therefore his captopril was increased to a dose of 50 mg t.i.d., his beta blocker was increased to a dose of 37.5 mg t.i.d. and digoxin was continued on a q.o.d. basis. in addition, the patient was started on a daily dose of lasix at 20 mg po q day and was monitored for the appropriateness of that dose for continued effective gentle diuresis. over the next few hospital days the patient's medications were titrated as needed while the patient was screened for rehabilitation. the patient was seen by physical therapy and was able to transfer from bed to chair and even improved well enough to walk a few steps. at the time of discharge the patient's lopressor had been titrated up to 62.5 mg t.i.d., which his blood pressure was able to tolerate. in addition, the patient was continued on captopril 50 mg t.i.d., digoxin every other day and lasix 40 mg po b.i.d. a therapeutic inr was obtained on coumadin at 1 mg po q day. although the patient consistently demonstrated a blood pressure with a systolic in the low 80s, the patient maintained adequate urine output and excellent mentation. therefore it was felt that the most important therapeutic intervention was to maintain the patient's heart rate at approximately 100 and therefore the patient's beta blocker should not be held unless his blood pressure was low enough to cause low urine output or mental status changes. the patient was transferred to rehabilitation on the 20th with thirty more days of antibiotic therapy remaining via his picc line and a stable cardiac regimen obtained for management of his acute mitral regurgitation. condition

the of the mitral valve. persisted, but the lvot gradient declined to <30mmhg peak. overall left ventricular systolic function remained intact.there was no pericardial effusion . brief hospital course: mr. ethanol ablation of myocardial interventricular septum on after which he was transferred to the ccu for monitering for development of heart block. . 1. hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patient's initial heart rate was in the 40's and irregular (atrial fibrillation). a temporary pacing line was put in at the time of the procedure so that he could be paced if he developed complete heart block and became symptomatic. on the second day his hr picked up and by the 3rd day his temporary pacing line was removed. pt was also started on toprol xl 100mg twice daily and verapamil sr 240 twice daily. he also experienced an episode of chest pain on the 2nd day. given his recent cardiac cath with normal coronoray arteries and unchanged ekg the pain was most likely due to his hocm and he was given morphine. he also experienced 3-4 episodes of groin bleeding at the site of his cath wound. each time manual pressure was applied for about 10 min followed by a pressure dressing. later his heparin was discontinued. pt was transferred to the step down unit for where he did fine. there were no more episodes of groin bleeding and the area was soft without any audible bruit. . 2) atrial fibrillation he was started on heparin drip given his high chads score for risk of stroke due to his atrial fibrillation. however due to repeated groin bleeding at the site of his cath wound heparin was stopped. he was started on coumadin 2.5mg daily. his toprol and verapamil given for hocm also helped in rate control. . 3) hypertension patient was continued on diovan 160mg twice daily. his toprol xl and verapamil were also adjusted to control his bp. lasix which had been stopped on admission was continued on day 4. . 4)fen potassium was continued as his k on admission was 3.1. he was continued on potassium chloride and slowly his potassium improved. he was given healthy cardial diet with low sodium. . 5)disposition the patient is being discharged home. he needs to follow up with his primary care physician, (dr. and with the coumadin clinic. if he develops syncope, palpitations or persistent chest pain he should immediately contact his cardiologist.

neuro she was intubated in ed for airway protection. the most likey cause of seizure in this patient was medication taper of dilantin as outpatient recently. she was not febrile and had no signs of infectious precipitant. she underwent ct scan of head with cta which did not show evidence of acute pathology, however did show aneurysm of size 3mm in left ica in caverous sinus area. this was thought to be incidental and did not correlate with the clinical presentation. she was loaded with dilantin and continued on 100 mg tid with no further clinical events. she was monitored on continuous eeg with results as described above. pulm she was rapidly extubated on night and closely monitered. her respiratory status was stable after extubation. however she complained of throat pain and some tenderness. it was thought to be related to recent intubation. she underwent neck x ray which showed prominent soft tissue swelling about the neck, however, this may be partially due to the patient's body habitus. the epiglottis was not enlarged and there was no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. rheum she complained of left wrist pain, shortly after transfer out of icu. the wrist appeared swollen and tender. she was seen by hand surgery and underwent joint tap which showed positive birifringent rhomboid crystals consistent with a diagnosis of pseudo-gout. she received a short course of unasyn which was discontinued after a gram stain of the fluid was negative and a fluid culture has shown no growth to date. she was treated with colchicine and ibuprofen 800 mg tid with good relief of her symptoms. an x-ray of her wrist revealed a widening of the scapholunate interval consistent with ligament rupture. this was reviewed with the hand surgery team who believed this was a chronic finding and unlikely to be related to her presentation. id she was afebrile and did not show signs of infection. she had an elevated esr and crp which was believed to be related to her pseudogout. medications on admission: -ic albuterol 4mg -omeprazole 20mg daily -allopurinol 200mg daily -ic digoxin 0.25g daily -metoprolol 50mg daily -ic tramadol 50mg daily -diclofenac 50mg tid -dilantin 100mg daily (currently on taper) discharge medications: 1. digoxin 125 mcg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. phenytoin 50 mg tablet, chewable sig: two (2) tablet, chewable po tid (3 times a day). disp:*180 tablet, chewable(s)* refills:*2* 3. allopurinol 100 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po daily (daily). 4. metoprolol tartrate 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 5. diclofenac potassium 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po three times a day. 6. tramadol 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: epilepsy pseudogout discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: you were admitted after an episode of confusion and disorientation which was likely a seizure. it is likely this occurred due to the recent discontinuation of your anti-epileptic medication. phenytoin was resumed and you should continue this medication as prescribed. also, you were found to have pseudogout in your left wrist. please take nsaids as needed for pain control (such as ibuprofen 600-800 mg three times daily for the next 3-5 days as needed) and follow up with your pcp weeks. followup instructions: please follow up with your neurologist, dr. as scheduled;

allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: acute pancreatitis. presumed pancreatic injury from percutaneous biopsy. major surgical or invasive procedure: exploratory laparotomy, wide drainage of pancreatic leak placement of a combined gastrostomy/jejunostomy tube (mic tube). history of present illness: this unfortunate 24-year-old lady had hepatitis b and was being worked up for this with a biopsy of her liver. it is uncertain to my why she required this biopsy. the patient had this done in the midline position 2 days prior to this procedure. in the interim, she became very sick and was treated at another hospital. she developed abdominal and went to nsmc- ed where workup was significant for lipase of and amylase of 1351. ct showed diffuse hypoattenuation of the liver, suggestive of infiltration, and small amount of ascites. she was admitted with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitits. on evening of , she became febrile and tachycardic. repeat laboratories showed wbc 29.3 (from 20.0), amylase 3894 (from 1351), and lipase >2400 (from ). repeat ct showed increase in intraperitoneal fluid, pelvic fluid, and bilateral pleural effusions she was transferred to our facility the day of this operation. in the interim, she developed clear-cut acute pancreatitis and was gravely ill. we found her to be profoundly dehydrated with all the sequelae of raging acute pancreatitis. what was worrisome, however, was her abdominal exam which showed peritonitis. in reviewing the reports, there was apparently a percutaneous biopsy attempt of the left lateral sector of the liver. it was pretty clear that there was a traumatic injury to the pancreas through this biopsy precipitating acute pancreatitis. i was very concerned that there was a ductal leak injury given her clinical state with a rigid abdomen with peritoneal signs. past medical history: hbv x 5 years social history: has 2 young children. no etoh or tobacco physical exam: vitals - t 100.3, bp 139/64, hr 121, rr 18, o2 sat 98% 2l nc general - well-appearing female, speaking full sentences, no acute distress heent - perrl, eomi, op clr, mmm, no lad cv - rrr, syst flow mur chest - ctab abdomen - subxiphoid biopsy set dressed, c/d/i;

pulse 96; blood pressure 110/60; respiratory rate 24; pulse oximetry 95% on two liters. in general, a sad tearful female with a flat affect. heent: pupils are equal, round and reactive to light. mucous membranes were moist. neck is supple without any jugular venous distention. chest: crackles at the lung bases about of the way up. cardiovascular: regular rate, no murmurs. abdomen is soft. extremities are warm without edema with good pulses. neurological is alert and oriented times three. laboratory: data at the time of admission is white blood cell count of 10.3 with 70% neutrophils, hematocrit of 39.7, platelets of 226. sodium 134, potassium 4.4 hemolyzed, chloride 95, bicarbonate 29, bun 24, creatinine 1.4 with baseline of 1.0, and glucose of 120. chest x-ray shows blunting of the left costophrenic angle, right middle and lower lobe pneumonia. ekg with normal sinus rhythm at a rate of 95, old q waves in the inferior leads with no acute st changes. hospital course: 1. hypoxic hypercarbic respiratory failure: the patient was initially admitted to the medical floor for treatment of her multi-lobar pneumonia. she initially maintained an oxygen saturation of greater than 95% on three liters of nasal cannula, however, developed hypoxia to 80% with saturation of 90% on non-rebreather, in the setting of a narrow complex tachycardia while she was on the floor. however, the patient remained hypoxic at about 96% on a nonrebreather; therefore she was transferred to the fenard intensive care unit. in the intensive care unit her arterial blood gas revealed a ph of 7.16, a pco2 of 74 and po2 of 94 with abnormal mental status. the patient's culture data revealed a methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and the patient's antibiotic regimen was changed to vancomycin. there was also a question of aspiration. the patient was initially tried on a trial of bi-pap, however, she did not tolerate this very well and her mental status decreased to the point of requiring intubation. initially there was significant confusion regarding her code status, as on a previous admission it was documented that she wanted to be resuscitated but did not want to be intubated. so, after discussion with various of her attendings and given her clinical status, the decision was made to intubate the patient as she was in acute respiratory distress. the patient continued to require high ventilatory support and had adult respiratory distress syndrome physiology. 2. tachycardia: the patient, just prior to her transfer to the intensive care unit, had a tachycardia that was presumed to be either an atrial tachycardia versus an nrt. she decreased her rate from the mid 200s to 100 after receiving diltiazem 20 mg intravenously and was followed closely in the intensive care unit. she had multiple episodes of tachycardia and the electrophysiology service was consulted as well as the electrophysiology physician, , occasionally her rhythm would break with idenosine and occasionally with diltiazem and eventually she was on a diltiazem drip. there was a question of amiodarone loading as well. of note, her sotalol, which she had been maintained on as an outpatient, had been discontinued during her hospital course as she had started to develop renal failure. 3. hypotension: the patient remained hypotensive after she was intubated and was not fluid responsive. her maps were around 50. she was started on norepinephrine and vasopressin and the etiology was thought to be sepsis although it then also became cardiogenic later in her hospital course. 4. acid base: the patient had a mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis. she was given intravenous fluids and her respiratory status was maintained with a ventilator, although it was very difficult to correct her acid base status given her overwhelming sepsis as well as her worsening renal failure. 5. acute renal failure: the patient had worsening renal failure likely secondary to acute tubular necrosis with anuria. cvh was debated upon, however, ultimately a change in the patient's code status did not require use of this node of volume removal. disposition: after extensive discussion with the family, initially the patient was clearly full code as she was intubated, ventilated and on pressors, however, after two to three family meetings and multi-system organ failure including cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal with overwhelming sepsis, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and progressive overall worsening, it was decided that goal for care would change from "do not resuscitate" "do not intubate" followed by comfort measures only status. the patient had multiple family members who came to see her prior to her demise. the patient expired at 03:55 a.m. on . , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Insertion of endotracheal tube Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Arterial catheterization Diagnoses: Acute kidney failure with lesion of tubular necrosis Congestive heart failure, unspecified Unspecified septicemia Hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia Acute respiratory failure Cardiac arrest Methicillin susceptible pneumonia due to Staphylococcus aureus Chronic obstructive asthma with (acute) exacerbation

wet-to-dry dressings were performed, and eventually dry gauze dressings. no evidence of further infection, with abscess appearing to be healing well by discharge. pt will follow up with dr. in surgery in 4 weeks. 2. mrsa sepsis - pt was admitted to the from the ed on a non-rebreather mask, hypotensive on a levophed drip which was weaned off and the patient remained stable, transferred from to the floor on . on arrival, pt's cvp continued to be low (), with further fluid resuscitation resulting in adequate bp. levophed drip was stopped 48 hours later, and bp remained stable throughout rest of course. pt had multiple further blood cultures for surveillance purposes, which were negative. last positive blood culture was on . pt on vanco for 4 week course after first negative blood culture. vancomycin trough levels were persistently low, with continual uptitrating of the dose, up to 1750mg iv q12, and then ultimately was 1000mg iv q8h with a therapeutic trough level. 3. pneumonia - pt noted to have multiple patchy opacities on cxr and chest ct, some of these lesions were noted to be cavitating. id was involved early in the course of hospital stay. 3 afb smears were negative, pcp via sputum induction was negative, legionella urinary antigen was negative, cryptococcus negative. a ppd was placed, which was negative, as well. cxr showed right pleural effusion with right lower lobe atelectasis vs. pneumonia. this was evaluated with u/s probe and it was determined that the fluid collection was too small to be tapped. findings on ct scan were consistent with septic emboli, so a tte and then tee were performed, both of which were negative for any vegetations. per id, it is thought that these are septic emboli, likely of mrsa, from some intravascular source but not valvular vegetations. the appearance of these nodules, in their cavitations is consistent with staph pneumonia, possibly from hematogenous spread. pt was placed on 4 week course of vanco, and he continued to improve overall, feeling well by the time of discharge. he maintained good o2 sats and showed no respiratory distress. a followup ct scan was arranged prior to discharge, and pt will follow up in clinic to determine if the vancomycin may be discontinued. 4. fevers - fevers persisted even with the vancomycin on board. pt's cultures were consistently negative and no changes noted on repeat chest imaging. pt clinically was well-appearing in the last week or so before discharge, but was still having fevers. other sources of fever were searched for: an abdominal ct showed no fluid collections or occult abscesses; an mri of the sacral area near the abscess ruled out osteomyelitis. it was thought that perhaps his subtherapeutic vanco dose might be responsible for this. however, no further causes of infection were found, and pt was clinically well. pt remained afebrile for > 4 days prior to discharge. 5. hiv - cd4 count low 189, but pt had an acute infectious process going on. repeat cd4 count when pt more stable was 454. bactrim prophylaxis was stopped. pt will follow up with dr. in of next year. no haart while in house. 6. hsv - pt had some oral hsv and completed a 7-day course of famciclovir with resolution of symptoms. 7. gastric varices - varices were found incidentally on ct scan. lfts were mildly elevated. pt asymptomatic. abd ct scan did not comment on any liver abnormalities. an outpatient egd appointment was arranged to better assess these varices, as well as a subsequent liver clinic appointment. 8. ppx: h2 blocker, sq heparin 9. full code. 10. dispo: patient will be discharged to home with vna for picc care, as well as help with dressing changes. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 2. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day) as needed. 3. ranitidine hcl 150 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 4. zolpidem tartrate 5 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po hs (at bedtime) as needed for insomnia. 5. calcium carbonate 500 mg tablet, chewable sig: one (1) tablet, chewable po qid (4 times a day) as needed. 6. oxycodone hcl 5 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for pain. 7. vancomycin hcl 500 mg recon soln sig: 1250 (1250) mg intravenous q12h (every 12 hours) for 11 days: last day of treatment in . patient may need longer duration of therapy to be determined by outpatient infectious disease doctor. :*22 doses* refills:*0* 8. heparin lock flush (porcine) 100 unit/ml syringe sig: one (1) ml intravenous qd () as needed: to picc. 9. acetaminophen 500 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q6h (every 6 hours). 10. saline heparin flushes per vns protocol 11. picc line care discharge disposition: home with service facility: home therapies discharge diagnosis: primary diagnoses: mrsa sacral abscess mrsa bacteremia septic pulmonary emboli hiv secondary diagnoses: gastric varices, seen on ct scan seasonal allergies right hand tendonitis s/p t and a right knee cellulitis (mssa, ) h/o strep pharyngitis, hsv, skin abscesses (per omr) discharge condition: stable. pain well controlled. wound healing well. discharge instructions: please call your doctor and return to the hospital for fever/chills, increasing warmth, pain, redness, or swelling from the abscess, general malaise, diarrhea, or any other concerns you may have. please go to all of your appointments. followup instructions: you have the following appointments: 1) provider: scan where: cc clinical center radiology phone: date/time: 10:15 this is on the . please do not eat any solid food 3 hours beforehand. ***before this appointment, please call ( to update your information. 2) md where: lm disease phone: date/time: 10:30 provider: , md where: lm disease phone: date/time: 10:30 3) dr. - surgery - to take a look at your abscess , 1:00pm;

moderate secretions and received aggressive chest pt, but maintained adequate o2 sats on shovel mask. additionally, he was started on low dose beta-blocker for hypertension and treated with free water boluses for hypernatremia. during his icu stay he was less responsive to stimuli and a repeat ct scan revealed unchanged size and mass effect from subdural hematoma. his mental status improved to baseline according to family after weaning sedation. he developed lue edema and on a lue doppler was performed which showed occlusive thrombosis of both brachial veins and the axillary vein, and nearly completely occlusive thrombosis of the subclavian vein. pt. had not been receiving sc heparin because of his known subdural hematoma and risk for increased bleeding and mass effect, and a decision was made not to anti-coagulate him, even given the doppler results. stim test was performed, with decreased cortisol response, and pt. was pulsed with 7 days of fludrocortisone and hydrocortisone. during his ccu stay, he was started on tube feeds. a discussion was begun with the family regarding long-term nutrition and possible peg placement. he was about 8 l positive on day of transfer, and had been receiving lasix qd. pt was transfered from ccu to the floor on with resolved urosepsis. pt remained afebrile but un-responsive. he finished vanc/levo/flagyl x 10 days. his wbc continued to be elevated. family discussion was held and patient was made cmo. pt was started on morphine drip titrated to comfort. pt's breathing became more agonal over next few days and he peacefully expired on @ 10:18 am. family was notified and were able to say their final goodbyes while patient was still in the hospital. . # sdh: - appears to be subacute to chronic. stable. repeat ct

nurse . the patient denies any use of illicit substances. the patient denies any use of tobacco and reports occasional use of alcohol (a few drinks on the evening prior to admission). physical examination on presentation: vital signs on admission revealed the patient's temperature was 95 degrees fahrenheit, his heart rate was 105, his blood pressure was 150/82, his respiratory rate was 12, and his oxygen saturation was 100% on room air. in general, the patient was alert sitting up on the gurney with an athletic build and good coloring. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed the sclerae were anicteric. the mucous membranes were moist. the patient's neck was supple. no carotid bruits. cardiovascular examination revealed the patient had a regular rate. there was 1/6 systolic murmur at the left sternal border. no rubs or gallops. radial and dorsalis pedis pulses were 2+ bilaterally and equal. the patient's lungs were clear to auscultation. the abdomen was soft and distended. there were positive bowel sounds. no bruits. no masses. there was a soft tissue 0.5-cm in diameter mass at one o'clock above the umbilicus. the patient's extremities were warm with some varicose veins present on the leg. no clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. neurologic examination revealed cranial nerves ii through xii were grossly intact. his gait was not assessed. rectal examination revealed normal tone and guaiac-positive stool. orthostatics were not assessed prior to intravenous fluid hydration. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: pertinent laboratories on admission revealed the patient had a normal white blood cell count, normal platelets, and his hematocrit was 40%. his prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and inr were all within normal limits.

electrocardiogram revealed a normal sinus rhythm with normal axis and normal intervals. there was a single t wave inversion in v1 and biphasic t waves in v3. there was a q wave in iii. no st elevations or depressions. no known previous electrocardiogram for comparison. concise summary of hospital course: our impression was that this was a 35-year-old otherwise healthy gentleman with bright red blood per rectum multiple times in one day and a history of significant blood on toilet paper two weeks ago with recent use of aspirin. the differential was a lower gastrointestinal bleed, most likely diverticulosis or hemorrhoids, given the clinical history and lack of crampy pain or support for colitis or irritable bowel disease. the patient has no history to support the idea of ulceration or upper gastrointestinal bleeding. no family history of colon cancer. the patient was initially managed with fluid resuscitation. serial hematocrit levels were monitored, and all stools were guaiaced. the patient was kept nothing by mouth for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. the patient was not orthostatic or symptomatic. the patient was initially admitted to the floor and the gastroenterology service was following him closely. on the night of admission, the patient persistently had bright red blood per rectum every hour. he became orthostatic and lightheaded. the patient's hematocrit decreased into the 20s, and he was transferred to the medical intensive care unit for further monitoring. he was transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells and given 3 liters of normal saline, and his blood pressure normalized to 120/84. subsequent nasogastric lavages were all negative. esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a short segment of esophagus, schatzki ring. a tagged red blood cell scan revealed no active gastrointestinal bleed. a colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis of the cecum and ascending colon as likely source of bleeding. no active bleeding site was found, but his hematocrit remained stable over 48 hours. the patient denied any complaints. the patient had no abdominal pain. on the day of discharge, it was presumed that diverticular disease was the source of his bleeding with no subsequent bleeds. the patient was maintained on a high-fiber diet. he was continued on protonix 40 mg by mouth once per day. the patient was recommended to have a follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy for esophageal biopsies given the short segment of esophagus seen on the esophagogastroduodenoscopy during his admission. discharge disposition: all electrolytes were within normal limits, and he was discharged to home hemodynamically stable. discharge diagnoses: 1. gastrointestinal bleed. 2. anemia secondary to blood loss. 3. diverticulosis. 4. esophagus. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was instructed to call for an appointment to follow up with a gastroenterologist in six months for a repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy with dr. and/or dr. . 2. the patient was instructed to follow up with his primary care physician. medications on discharge: protonix 40 mg by mouth once per day. condition at discharge: the patient was hemodynamically stable with a normal blood pressure (130 systolic) without lightheadedness or evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding. his hematocrit was stable at 32%. discharge status: discharge status was to home. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 12:50 t: 10:57 job#: Procedure: Other endoscopy of small intestine Colonoscopy Diagnoses: Esophageal reflux Pure hypercholesterolemia Acute

since . no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fevers, or chills. positive dark urine, and light stools, pruritus, and fatigue. an abdominal computed tomography on from the outside hospital was reported to have shown moderate ascites, a large liver and spleen, and dilation of the biliary tree, with a question of intrahepatic malignancy. an abdominal ultrasound at the outside hospital on showed splenomegaly, ascites, gallbladder wall thickening, and dilated ducts in the liver. a magnetic resonance imaging on at the outside hospital showed dilation of the biliary tree and a 4-cm lesion in the left lobe of the liver. endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography on performed at showed an intraductal mass, and plastic stent placed. the mass was brushed and cells were sent to cytology which were positive for adenocarcinoma. additionally, the patient was found to have an increased creatinine while admitted. creatinine in was noted to be 0.9. then on , creatinine was noted to be 2 after a computed tomography scan at the outside hospital. on admission to the hospital on , creatinine was noted to be 8.1. the patient was treated multiple times with kayexalate for a high potassium. a paracentesis was performed on which showed no evidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. on , a quinton catheter was placed in the right femoral vein, and the patient underwent hemodialysis. during the course of hemodialysis the patient became hypotensive in the 80s/40s, and was subsequently volume resuscitated with 2.2 liters of fluids. his blood pressure did not increase, and the patient began to experience shortness of breath. the patient was originally saturating 96% on room air but then desaturated to 93% on 2 liters of oxygen and then 95% on 4 liters of oxygen. additionally, the patient was wheezing. thus, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit. an arterial blood gas was taken and showed a ph of 7.41, a pco2 of 28, and a po2 of 72. once the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit, his blood pressures dropped to the 60s. a right internal jugular was placed, and the patient was started on levophed. fresh frozen plasma was given prior to line placement as the patient's inr was 1.7. additionally, the patient was started on ampicillin, gentamicin, and flagyl for presume cholangitis. past medical history: (past

93/29, heart rate was 83, respiratory rate was 10, and oxygen saturation was 96% oxygen saturation on 4 liters nasal cannula. temperature was 95.8 (hypothermic). in general, the patient was markedly jaundiced and appropriately conversational. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed normocephalic and atraumatic. pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. scleral icterus. a jaundiced oropharynx. spider angiomas on the face. chest examination revealed crackles at the bases bilaterally/anteriorly. mild expiratory wheezes. cardiovascular examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm. a holosystolic murmur heard at the left fifth intercostal space midclavicular line. the abdomen was soft and nontender. distended. positive fluid wave. unable to assess organ size. a right femoral quinton catheter. extremity examination revealed no edema. dorsalis pedis pulses were 2+ bilaterally. positive asterixis bilaterally. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: laboratories on admission to the medical intensive care unit revealed white blood cell count was 7 (down from 10.2), hematocrit was 28.6, and platelets were 90. prothrombin time was 15.9, partial thromboplastin time was 37.1, and inr was 1.7. urinalysis revealed brown/cloudy. specific gravity was 1.016, large blood, 100 protein, moderate bilirubin, trace leukocytes, greater than 50 red blood cells, 6 to 10 white blood cells, few bacteria, and amorphous crystals. sodium was 137, potassium was 4.5, chloride was 100, bicarbonate was 16, blood urea nitrogen was 86, creatinine was 7.9, and blood glucose was 105. lipase was 72 and amylase was 25. calcium was 7.8, phosphate was 6.9, and magnesium was 2.1. albumin was 3. alt was 47, ast was 82, total bilirubin was 27.2, and alkaline phosphatase was 145. microscopic examination from ascites taken from revealed no growth, no polymorphonuclear leukocytes, no organisms seen on gram stain, 55 white blood cells, and 3045 red blood cells. cytology from ascites taken from was negative for malignant cells. brush on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography taken from was positive for malignancy cells adenocarcinoma. urine cultures from and revealed no growth. pertinent radiology/imaging performed at : 1. endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography performed on revealed intraductal mass, stent placed. 2. abdominal ultrasound on revealed sludge in the gallbladder, negative sign, liver shrunken with increased echogenicity, enlarged spleen, and portal vein was patent. 3. magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen performed on (although limited by the patient's claustrophobia), revealed massive ascites, left greater than right small bilateral pleural effusions, liver nodularity (consistent with cirrhosis), 3.6-cm x 4.8-cm mass with increased signal in segment 4a liver, spleen mildly enlarged, varices along the stomach (portal hypertension), gallbladder with no stones and no ductal dilatation. 4. a chest x-ray on revealed right internal jugular in place and pulmonary edema. no infiltrate. no pneumothorax. hospital course by issue/system: in summary, the patient is a 74-year-old gentleman with diabetes, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular accident who presented with painless jaundice and a 55-pound weight loss, status post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stent, now with cirrhosis and acute renal failure and probable cholangiocarcinoma. the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit with hypotension and shortness of breath. 1. hypotension issues: hypotension was treated with pressors (levophed). the patient was weaned off levophed with gentle fluid boluses. mean arterial pressure remained in the 50s to 60s, and the patient mentated well throughout his hospital course in the medical intensive care unit. hypotension was most likely secondary to sepsis. 2. pulmonary issues: the patient remained stable on 4 liters nasal cannula and was saturating well. the patient's pulmonary status was monitored closely while receiving fluid boluses for blood pressure so as to prevent a flare of pulmonary edema. albuterol nebulizers were given for wheezing. shortness of breath differential diagnoses included cirrhosis, renal failure, ascites (atelectasis), possible congestive heart failure or fluid overload. 3. coronary artery disease/congestive heart failure issues: no aspirin was given at this time as the patient was coagulopathic with an increased inr. no beta blocker were given during this time as the patient was hypotensive. mild congestive heart failure was seen on chest x-ray on . the patient received an echocardiogram on which revealed an ejection fraction of 75% to 80%; although the patient was on levophed at the time of this echocardiogram. findings included left atrium was mildly dilated, left ventricular wall thickness and cavity size were normal, hyperdynamic, right ventricular size and motion were normal, aortic valve leaflets were thickened, no regurgitation, trivial tricuspid regurgitation, and borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. no effusions. 4. gastroenterology issues: intraductal mass was positive for adenocarcinoma by cytology. palliative care for this patient. the patient's treatment options and prognosis were discussed at length with the patient and his family. total bilirubin and liver function tests were checked daily to assess for obstruction. if these values were to increase significantly, could possibly replace stent with a more permanent stent via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to relieve obstruction. total bilirubin tended to decrease throughout his hospital stay. the patient also has cirrhosis of unclear etiology. 5. renal issues: acute renal failure; question as to etiology - acute tubular necrosis; status post contrast for computed tomography versus hepatorenal syndrome. the patient received three days of hemodialysis. no fluid was removed in hemodialysis. renal consultation team is following the patient. fractional excretion of sodium was 1%. 6. infectious disease issues: the patient was originally started on ampicillin, gentamicin, and flagyl for presumed cholangitis causing a septic picture with increased white blood cells, hypotension, and hypothermia. this antibiotic regimen was changed to vancomycin, ceftazidime, and flagyl so as to provide more protection for the kidneys. cultures were negative or pending to date. blood cultures from were pending. urine cultures from and showed no growth. ascites from showed no growth. 7. hematologic issues: the patient remained coagulopathic secondary to liver disease. the patient was oozing from intravenous site. thus, the patient was given three days of subcutaneous vitamin k to correct for the increased inr. the patient received two units of packed red blood cells while in the medical intensive care unit for a hematocrit of less than 30. the patient also received one unit of fresh frozen plasma prior to internal jugular central vein line placement on . 8. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition issues: the patient received fluid boluses for a decreased blood pressure; yet remained saturating well on 4 liters nasal cannula oxygen and had no complaints of chest discomfort. electrolytes were repleted as needed. the patient was given a full diet upon his request. 9. access issues: the patient has a right internal jugular central line which was placed on , and a right femoral quinton catheter which was placed on , as well as two peripheral intravenous lines. 10. code status: the patient's code status was changed from full code to do not resuscitate/do not intubate. the patient and the patient's family expressed a wish to not be started on pressors if the patient's blood pressure were to fall. 11. social issues: multiple family meetings were held with the patient and his family. his son is the main contact person. additionally, the patient's brother flew in from and was able to meet with the patient and spend time with him. discharge disposition: currently, the patient is in the medical intensive care unit awaiting a private bed on the floor. the patient will most likely either be discharged to the floor in a private bed or go home soon with some kind of hospice care or visiting nurse assistance; pending social work evaluation and discussions with the family and the patient. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was fair. discharge status: the patient was to be discharged pending a private room on the floor, or the patient and his family wish for care at home. discharge diagnoses: 1. cirrhosis. 2. probably cholangiocarcinoma. 3. acute renal failure. 4. diabetes. 5. coronary artery disease/congestive heart failure. medications on discharge: have yet to be decided. the patient will most likely go home with antibiotics for presumed cholangitis and other comfort medications. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was to follow up with his primary care doctor if needed. 2. the patient was also to follow up with social work for home hospice care if desired. , m.d.

history of present illness: the patient is a 76 year old gentleman presenting to emergency department on complaining of 24 hours of dizziness, shortness of breath, cough, fever and respiratory distress. patient was noted to have a significant past medical history of upper gi bleed and was status post one episode of coffee ground emesis the night prior to admission. patient was found to be in mild respiratory distress with bilateral rhonchi, hypoxia and hypercapnia. patient became significantly more hypoxic and hypercapnic and anesthesia was called for potential difficult airway and patient was successfully intubated. patient remained hemodynamically stable. in the emergency department patient was noted to have a temperature of 101.9, blood pressure 118/50, heart rate 119, o2 sat 77%, respiratory rate between 30 and 35. patient received sublingual nitroglycerin times one, noted drop in blood pressure to systolic of 77 over diastolic of 54. given 5 liters iv fluids. subsequent abg of 7.48, 38, 39 in room air. given 100% nonrebreather and increased o2 sat to 85%. patient was then electively intubated. chest x-ray showed predominantly chf with bilateral pneumonia consistent with aspiration pneumonia. subsequent abg was 7.36, 45, 96. patient was put on assist control 14/400, peep 12, 100%. patient was noted to have bloody sputum with suctioning. no acute gi bleed. patient received cat scan of head which showed no bleed. patient was subsequently admitted to the medical icu. patient subsequently received ffp times two units and one bag of platelets. past medical history: head and neck squamous cell cancer in status post xrt and radical neck dissection. cva in . recent admission for gi bleed and hemoptysis. thrombocytopenia. ulcerative colitis. basal cell cancer of the scalp. status post head injury in the status post metal plate insertion. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: prednisone taper which ended , protonix 40 q.day, fioricet p.r.n., hydrocortisone enema 100 q.h.s. p.r.n., colace 100 b.i.d., sulfasalazine 1000 mg t.i.d. social history: distant tobacco history. patient currently nonsmoker. nondrinker. past history of etoh abuse. no illicit drugs. patient recently widowed. family history: significant for prostate cancer in father and uterine cancer in sister. physical examination: on presentation to medical icu temperature was 101.9, pulse 101, blood pressure 116/69, respiratory rate 12, 96%. patient was intubated, sedated and unresponsive. pupils equal, round, and reactive to light. mucous membranes moist. right ij placed in e.d. in place. regular rate s1, s2, 2/6 systolic ejection murmur. lungs showed diffuse crackles with occasional rhonchi. et tube in place with some diffuse bloody secretions. abdomen distended with decreased bowel sounds. extremities were warm, 1+ distal pulses, 1+ pitting edema way up patient's calves. laboratory data: subsequent ekg showed sinus tach at 110, 0 axis, right bundle branch block, slight depression in 4 and 5. hospital course: the patient was admitted to micu with the diagnoses of severe hypoxia, bilateral pneumonia, chf versus aspiration pneumonia, resolving hemoptysis, fever and elevated white count at 21.0. patient was started on levofloxacin and flagyl, pan cultured. was given propofol for sedation. patient's chest x-ray day subsequent to admission was consistent with aspiration pneumonia. gram positive cocci. was continued on levaquin and flagyl. vancomycin was added for coverage. pulmonary. bilateral pneumonia persisted right worse than left. he was continued on levaquin, flagyl and vancomycin. medical icu team had difficulty oxygenating patient further contributing to patient's respiratory failure from aggressive volume depletion in the emergency department and early icu course. patient was in excess of 18 liters positive. patient was placed on assist control, tidal volume 500, peep 16, pressure support 25, fio2 50%. patient slowly making gradual decrease in fio2 to 40%. patient had decrease in peep to 14. patient continued on course of antibiotics for aspiration pneumonia. patient was noting to continually desat with decrease in peep requiring increase in ventilatory support. patient received moderate benefit from aggressive chest p.t. and recruitment maneuvers. at or around hospital day 16 patient was switched from assist control to pressure support of 10, peep 16, fio2 40%. patient continued to have thick yellow secretions, coarse breath sounds bilaterally. chest x-ray slowly improving. right interstitial consolidations. patient eventually tolerated decrease of pressure support to 12, peep 12, continuing to wean. patient was deemed slow to wean from vent settings and ent was consulted to do an o.r. trach for patient secondary to patient's neck dissection and xrt for skin cancer. on or around patient was at pressure support of 12, peep 7 , fio2 40%, remaining extremely sensitive to changes in pressure support. drops from pressure support of 14 to 13 would make patient tachypneic pulling low tidal volumes. patient remained slow to wean. patient was decreased on his sedation of ativan and fentanyl drips and slowly began to wean from pressure support of 12 to eventual goal of pressure support of 8 over a period of 12 days. on patient was decreased to pressure support of 8.5 and 40% and was started on trach collar trial for one hour. patient continued at pressure support of 8.5 and 40% for multiple hours without previous tachypnea episodes. patient was gotten out of bed to chair and had multiple successful trach collar trials ranging from 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. patient was aggressively diuresed with lasix with a goal of 0.5 to 1 liter net negative on fluid balance per day. diuresis was somewhat limited secondary to recurrent bouts of hypotension with systolic in the 90s, thus delaying diuresis. over the course of the hospital stay from to today, , patient is now net only 1.5 liters positive in fluids and responding to lasix. infectious disease. throughout his hospital course patient continued to have low grade fevers in the range from 100 to 101.0. patient occasionally spiked fevers as high as 102.8. patient was put on ceftriaxone and vancomycin. patient's white counts were in the high teens and subsequently decreased. all cultures, blood and urine, were negative. further all cath tips sent for culture were negative. patient was given abdominal ct and sinus ct to look for source. sinus ct was positive for right maxillary sinusitis. abdominal ct was negative for infectious source. patient was continued on antibiotics. ent was consulted for sinusitis and suggested increase head of bed, intranasal spray, no acute management necessary at this time. on or around patient was found to be c.diff positive in the stool. patient was started on flagyl. all blood cultures, wound cultures and sputum cultures remained negative. patient without any new elevations in white count or temperature spikes for the 10 days prior to discharge. patient's hematocrit ranged from the high 20s in the beginning of his hospital stay and began to very slowly drift down throughout the hospital course. patient had no source of obvious bleeding, although he was noted to have ob positive stool. patient was transfused two units of blood with an inappropriate bump in patient's hematocrit. patient's hematocrit only increased from 23 to 25 status post two units. patient's hematocrit tended to be stable with slight decrease. patient eventually trended down from hematocrit of 26 to a slow decrease over subsequent days to hematocrit of 23. patient was transfused two additional units of blood, bringing patient's hematocrit to an appropriate bump. patient's hematocrit was noted to be 31. from patient's hematocrit has remained around 31 and remained stable. no active bleeding prior or since noted. neurologically despite negative head ct in the emergency department, throughout patient's course with decreasing sedation, patient continued to not move any extremities. did appear to track and somewhat understand responses, although he was nonvocal in response. icu staff remained concerned while sedation was completely turned off for a period of four days on or about . patient was given repeat head ct which was negative for bleed. approximately four days after shutting off sedation patient was noted to move all extremities, although was noted to be weak. subsequent day patient was found to be able to follow simple commands, squeezing hands, blinking eyes, etc. trach done in o.r. was done on . patient was also sent to interventional radiology on to receive a pej, percutaneous jejunal tube, for nutritional support. prior patient had been on a combination of tpn and tube feeds. at time of discharge on patient currently has a left subclavian day seven and previously described pej tube also day seven. both insertion sites are clean, dry and intact and devoid of any signs of infection. throughout patient's course he was kept on prophylaxis including pneumoboots, subcu heparin and prevacid. patient currently taking colace, erythromycin eyedrops,

history of present illness: this is a 76 year-old man with a history of prior strokes, anxiety disorder, cranial plate after trauma in world war ii, head and neck cancer and recent respiratory failure secondary to aspiration pneumonia with difficulty being weaned from the ventilator. he presents from rehab as he is in pulmonary rehab at this time. while he was in a rehab facility he was noted by an employee to have an episode of unresponsiveness unclear how long. his eyes "back as well." at 7:30 a.m. his eyes rolled back again and he was brought to . on arrival he had a thirty second generalized tonic clonic seizure observed with post ictal confusion. he received dilantin one gram and prepped for an lp and then lp was tried, however, unobtainable. he was then noted to be waking up and doing better and with no further seizure activity. we admitted him to the intensive care unit at that point. after ct scan showed several attenuations consistent with a stroke of an undetermined age, but no hemorrhage. on admission we also performed a ct scan with contrast as the original ct was without contrast. this ct was negative. we also performed an electroencephalogram, which showed occasional generalized single spikes with no focal abnormalities. we continued his dilantin at 150 mg intravenous t.i.d. and continued to check levels. his dilantin level on discharge was 4.7, however, this is corrected for his albumin at 11.8. at that point we decided to increase his dilantin to 200 mg t.i.d. throughout his hospital admission he had no further seizure episodes. he was noted to have persistent thrombocytopenia and hematology/oncology was consulted. he was noted to have numerous episodes of thrombocytopenia in his last three hospital visits and each time his platelets were increased over the hospital stay. his differential per hematology/oncology included drug induced and itp. itp was unlikley given the smear and he had normal fibrinogen, lack of fever and no change in kidney function. in the patient appeared to improve due to discontinuing numerous medications including zantac and clonidine. in the platelet count was also low, but came out nicely. heparin induced thrombocytopenia and itp were still in the differential. he was on heparin 5000 units subq t.i.d. on admission and we stopped that. his platelets rose to 77 on discharge and remained stable. the patient was tapped on saturday after platelet transfusion. his lp had an opening pressure of 16, white cells of 2, reds of 120, 85 glucose and 65 protein, gram stain was negative. he had no other signs of meningitis on examination. his pulmonary status remained stable throughout his admission. at first he was somewhat agitated and he necessitated low dose ativan and propofol overnight for the first night, however, he did not have any other problems and was sating well. arterial blood gas on discharge was ph 7.46, po2 50, o2 82. laboratories on discharge: white blood cell count 7.6, hemoglobin 8.9, hematocrit 27.5, platelets 78, sodium 140, potassium 3.5, chloride 100, co2 31, bun 18, creatinine .7, glucose of 134, calcium was 8.3, phosphorus 3.1, magnesium was 1.8. dilantin level was 4.7, but corrected to 8 for his albumin, which was 2.6. on discharge his neurological examination he was alert and answering questions and following commands. pupils are equal, round and reactive to light. extraocular movements showed slight decrease in abduction left greater then right. motor examination he moved all extremities symmetrically, full strength. no drift. reflexes were symmetric. tone was normal. from a neurological perspective he was seizure free. we increased his dilantin and this should be followed in a few days at rehab. from a gastrointestinal perspective he is on prophylaxis. when admitted he had hematest positive stools. hematocrit on admission was 32 and on discharge was 27.5. as an outpatient he should have further evaluation for this, but otherwise he is clinically stable. we discussed this with the sicu team and they felt that outpatient workup was in order being that he was clinically stable. his renal function had good output, normal bun and creatinine. in regard to his hematology/oncology, he was on heparin and his platelets have increased. the patient will be ready for discharge today to rehab. prior to discharge we will assure intravenous access and possible picc placement. discharge medications: dilantin 200 mg nasogastric t.i.d., metoprolol 25 mg nasogastric b.i.d., lansoprazole 30 mg nasogastric q day, sliding scale

male admitted to t/sicu status post fall from 15-20 feet at work. landed on head with resultant injuries including, traumatic burst fracture of the t3 vertebral body with retropulsion of multiple fragments posteriorly as well as angulation of the spinal canal at this level, fracture of the posterior elements of t1 and t2 -> s/p fusion, right transverse distal radial fracture, sternal manubrial fracture dissociation, and a head laceration. patient underwent c5-t10 posterior spinal fusion with l1-l4 posterior decompression as well as open reduction and internal fixation of his right wrist fracture . he was given 7 liters of crystalloid and 1200 cc of red blood cells in the operating room during the spinal fusion. see operative reports for procedure details. patient tolerated both procedures reasonably well but was found to be hypotensive after spinal fusion and was transfused 2 additional units of packed red blood cells when transported back to the trauma/sicu after surgery. he was placed on spinal precautions and given a brace to wear after extubation. the patient's respiratory status was managed on a ventilator. on , patient was transfrused 2 units of packed red blood cells and was febrile to 104 with a whit blood cell count to 16.4 he was started on vancomycin and zisyn for broad spectrum coverage. physical and occupational therapy were consulted on and followed patient throughout hospital course with satisfactory results. on , patient was taken to operating room for orif of right distal radius fracture without event. see operative reports for procedure details. infectious disease was consulted for continued fevers and recommended standard fever workup including pan culture, d/c lines fpr 2 days with central line exchange, stool studies, sputum cultures (patient underwent multiple bronchial alveolar lavages for sputum collection), and strongyloides. please see microbiology results above for details. an ascaris worm was removed from patient's nostril in entirety and sent to pathology for identification. id followed patient throughout hospital stay and recommendations were followed. levoquin was added to antibiotic regimen on . vanco/zosyn discontinued on . patient is to continue levaquin until for sputum culture positive for acintobacter 10/24 per id recommendations. on , arterial line was reinserted and received 2 untis prbc for hematocrit of 23 and ct of spine was performed to eval for abscesses. please see results section for details. nutrition followed patient throughout course and recommendations followed regarding tube feeds/tpn. on social work wrote letter to mexican vice consul in regarding patient's status and was instrumental in obtaining family contact and visas. social work was actively involved in patient's care throughout stay. on had spontaneous breathing trail but tired after 4 hours and was placed back on mechanical ventilation. please note patient had multiple fever spikes throughout course, was pan cultured with each spike > 102. please see above culture data for details. on the final spike before discharge, he underwent an interventional radiology drainage of a superficial fluid collection over t2 and t3. fluid was cultured and found to be without infection. he was also tested for tuberculosis, hepatitis a/b/c, cmv, hiv, legionella, which were all negative. afb was negative x 3. on he underwent tracheostomy, peg, and ivc filter placement for spinal cord injury with prolonged respiratory dependency, malnutrition and right risk for venous embolic disease. see operative reports for details. he tolerated that procedure without complication. initially after tracheostomy, the patient's respiratory status was managed with assist control ventilation. however, as he recovered and gained muscle strength, he was weaned over to cpap with pressure support and remained stable throughout the rest of his hospital stay. his pressure support was slowly weaned to 5. forehead staples removed on and arterial line was removed. on , a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was performed which showed mild oral pharyngeal dysphagia with minimal aspiration. with recommendation to repeat swallowing evaluation at rehab facility. on patient underwent a tee which showed no evidence of subacute bacterial endocardiditis. on , patient complained of a visual field defect and ophthalmology was consulted with no recommendations for intervention. thoughts were consistent with traumatic maculopathy which should slowly improve. patient should follow up in clinic as an outpatient in weeks. patient remained stable, cooperative, and cordial throught duration of hospital stay. he was afebrile for > 48 hours before discharge. medications on admission: none discharge

tachycardia and mild lateral st depressions. she was initially placed on bipap in the ed; after nebulizer treatments, she improved and was put back on nasal cannula. she then again got worse in the ed, and an abg was 7.25/94/66. the patient was thus intubated in the ed for worsening respiratory failure and sent to the . past medical history: type 2 diabetes hypertension gout osteoporosis chronic

linear. although it could represent subsegmental atelectasis, cannot rule out the presence of pneumonia. 2. background emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis as well as pulmonary artery hypertension. 3. bilateral small pleural effusions are stable. admission cta chest: 1. no evidence of central pulmonary embolism. 2. right lower lobe consolidation/atelectasis; this likely represents pneumonia in the correct clinical setting. 3. stable mediastinal lymphadenopathy, most prominent in the ap window and precarinal distribution. 4. severe fibrotic, bronchiectatic, and cystic changes consistent with the known history of copd. no pneumothorax as was demonstrated on the prior ct. 5. several smaller focal areas of consolidation bilaterally, the most prominent of which in the left lower lobe, just superior and anterior to the dominant area of consolidation. while these may represent multifocal areas of infection or fibrotic change, followup should be obtained to exclude malignancy. 6. small left-sided pleural effusion. 7. mild prominence of the central main pulmonary artery, likely consistent with the given history of pulmonary arterial hypertension. head ct : there is no evidence for hemorrhage. the ventricles, sulci, and cisterns demonstrate no effacement. the white matter junction is preserved. there are multiple hypodensities seen in the subcortical and deep white matter as well as both thalami that are the sequelae of chronic small arterial ischemia. there is a frothy fluid within both maxillary sinuses, sphenoid sinuses, and right mastoid air cells that may indicate sinusitis. the osseous structures are unremarkable. cxr : very large left-sided pneumothorax with signs of tension. chest ct : findings: the large left hydropneumothorax, mostly air filled was also shown on plain chest radiographs earlier today. since it shifts the mediastinum rightward and everts the left hemidiaphragm, it may be causing hemodynamic tension as well. the left lung is tethered to the chest cage by many pleural adhesions. right lower lobe consolidation is improving and edema has resolved. emphysema is severe. a 6- cm bulla marginates the left major fissure and smaller bullae are seen elsewhere . the airways are patent up to the segmental bronchi. there is no right pleural or any pericardial effusion. subcentimeter mediastinal nodes not meet ct size criteria for lymphadenopathy. extensive atherosclerotic coronary artery calcifications are noted, along with substantial aortic valvular calcification. there is no pericardial effusion. in the upper abdomen, the imaged liver, spleen, adrenals, and kidneys are unremarkable. a 24-mm gallstone is noted without evidence of cholecystitis. there are no suspicious bone findings. et tube and ng tube are in good position with the ng tube terminating in the body of the stomach and the et tube well above the carina. impression: 1. large left hydropneumothorax could be under tension and hemodynamically significant. 2. severe emphysema including a 6 cm bulla along the left major fissure. 3. improving right lower lobe consolidation. 4. decreasing pulmonary edema. cxr pm: compared with the examination obtained approximately 6 1/2 hours earlier, a left chest tube has been inserted, with its tip ending in the apex. the left pneumothorax has markedly diminished and is now small, best seen at the left lateral costophrenic angle. the mediastinum is now midline. the endotracheal tube is in satisfactory position. a nasogastric tube descends into the abdomen. there is a background of chronic lung disease and emphysema. scattered nonspecific opacities are present bilaterally. cxr : left lung appears to be completely re-expanded. the left apical pleural tube is relatively short intrathoracic and the tip of the basal tube is not its entire course is extrathoracic. little if any left pleural effusion or pleural air. mild pulmonary edema is unchanged. heart size is normal, although larger than it was prior to chest tube insertion. tip of the et tube is in standard placement and a nasogastric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. dr. was paged to discuss these findings at the time of dictation. cxr : one of the two left basal pleural tubes have been withdrawn approximately 6 cm now projecting over the cardiac apex and left hemidiaphragm. the other tube is unchanged in position, tip just to the left of the midline at the level of the left hemidiaphragm. no appreciable left pneumothorax. small left pleural effusion may have increased. small right pleural effusion unchanged. subcutaneous emphysema in the chest wall and neck is still severe but improving. heart size remains top normal. heterogeneous opacification in the lungs is probably a combination of pulmonary edema, multifocal pneumonia and emphysema. tracheostomy tube in standard placement. gram stain (final ): pmns and <10 epithelial cells/100x field. no microorganisms seen. smear reviewed; results confirmed.

pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and congestive heart failure, complicated by a pneumothorax. hospital course is discussed below by problem: 1. respiratory failure - her initial respiratory failure was thought to be multifactorial, secondary to multilobar pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with very poor baseline function, and congestive heart failure. she was treated with vancomycin, zosyn, and azithromycin for 14 days for broad coverage given that she had recently been living in health care facilities. dfa for influenza and urinary legionella antigen were both negative. sputum cultures only grew yeast, which was thought to be contamination. most recent sputum cultures grew e coli, thought to be a contaminant as well, as the patient has been afebrile, with resolving leukocytosis, unremarkable chest x-ray, and no other symptoms of a pneumonia. she then developed a low grade temperature and with 2/16 sputum culutres with 2+ gnr and with a history of enterobacter, she was restarted on a 10 day course of meropenem to be finished at rehabilitation. her sputum culture grew gram positive cocci and she was started on a course vancomycin, to complete a 10 day course of vancomycin and 10 day course of meropenem. her vancomycin had been supratherapeutic and was being monitored daily for dosing purposes. she was day fo vancomycin on , she still remained supratherapeutic on day of discharge at 31 (on day ). her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was treated with albuterol and atrovent, though she was not very responsive to these medications. she was also given a dose of solumedrol 125mg iv, with a subsequent prednisone taper that was ongoing at the time of discharge. she was diuresed intermittently throughout the hospitalization (see below) she was intubated in the emergency room and had a tracheostomy on . her ventilator weaning was complicated by a cuff leak, requiring 30mmhg pressure to seal. this improved, and she has done well on pressure control. she has also had several trach collar trials, during which she tires within 10-15 minutes. 2. pneumothorax - on the morning of , the patient's chest x-ray showed a vertical linear opacity consistent with pneumothorax. a chest ct at the time confirmed a large pneumothorax involving most of her left lung. this was thought to occur secondary to positive pressure with preexisting severe bullous disease, and likely occurred the night prior to the chest x-ray, as she began to have low blood pressure responding to iv fluids that night. thoracic surgery was called, and in concert with interventional pulmonology, they placed a chest tube in the apex of the left lung. she was determined to still have an element of pneumothorax at her left lung base, so a second chest tube was placed. the apical chest tube was displaced slightly and caused subcutaneous emphysema, but it was effective and was able to be clamped and removed on without complications. the basilar chest tube manifested an inspiratory leak which resolved until the patient's tracheostomy, at which time the leak recurred. as such, the thoracic team performed pleurodesis x 3 () with doxycycline. the chest tube was set to suction and the inspiratory leak resolved. the chest tube was clamped and removed without complications. a chest x-ray after chest tube removal showed no pneumothorax. however, that night she became increasingly tachypneic, and a cxr in the morning showed recurrence of the pneumothorax. another chest tube was placed, with a significant amount of resulting subcutaneous emphysema (head to toe) and no significant change in the pneumothorax. a second chest tube was thus placed, which resulted in some improvement in the pneumothorax. her course was also complicated by a bronchopleural fistula, requiring pressure control ventilation. her fistula gradually resolved, and she has been able to be adequately supported on pressure control ventilation. since that time, her subcutaneous emphysema has gradually improved. her chest tubes were put to water-seal on , then were clamped on , and daily cxrs have revealed no evidence of recurrent ptx. the chest tubes were sequentially clamped and then removed with serial chest xrays revealing no pneumothorax. the pt is to follow up with thoracics surgeon dr. after discharge. 3. hypotension - she had an episode of hypotension in the setting of her pneumothorax. initially, it responded to fluid boluses and, given that the patient had been aggressively diuresed previously, was thought to be secondary to hypovolemia. this was likely just a contributing factor to hypotension caused by pneumothorax. it resolved after chest tube placement. once she was normotensive, her metoprolol was restarted. 4. fluid status - on admission, the patient was volume overloaded. she responded well to lasix 40mg iv. this was held in the setting of hypotension (with her pneumothorax), and was thought to be hypovolemic at that time. she has been intermittently volume overloaded, with good response to lasix. over the past 4 days prior to discharge the pt was euvolemic, not requiring any lasix. 5. mental status - early in the hospitalization, the patient was noted to have decreasing responsiveness. this was likely related to her sedation, as once the sedation was lessened, she became very appropriate and responsive. she also has had difficulty in regulating sleep/wake cycles. primary team has been moderately succesful in improving this with pm ambien, gabapentin, nortriptyline, and haldol. 6. yeast infection - she had urine cultures sent that showed only yeast, and vaginal discharge consistent with yeast. she was treated with one dose of fluconazole with resolution of her symptoms. 7. atrial tachycardia - she had a rhythm consistent with multifocal atrial tachycardia, most likely secondary to her underlying pulmonary issues. her metoprolol was restarted and the tachycardia resolved. 8. atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response - ms. has known paf, but she had increasingly frequent episodes of rvr to the 150s, with stable blood pressures. her metoprolol and diltiazem dosages were increased, with some effect, but she continued to have these episodes with maximal doses. she was placed on an esmolol drip, which helped ms. to revert to nsr at a dose of 100mcg/min, but experienced recurrent episodes on the drip. the electrophysiology service was consulted, who recommended started amiodarone. she was po loaded, and placed on 200mg po bid, in addition to her previous dose of diltiazem. her comorbid lung and thyroid conditions were noted in terms of managing with amiodarone, but this was thought to be the most appropriate treatment option. daily ekgs were obtained to assess for prolonged qt. the pt was switched from diltiazem to metoprolol as the pt has been noted to have better rate control with bb than ccb. the pts amiodarone was weaned down to 200 mg po qd prior to discharge. she developed episodes of atrial fibrillation while on amiodarone and cardiology was consulted and she was started on a low dose heparin drip for possible dccv if she became hypotensive. long term anticoagulation is to be determined as an outpatient the pt will need ekg's to assess for qt prolongation. her outpt pcp will also need to assess reinitiation of coumadin; pt seems to be a likely fall risk per nursing. her heparin gtt was discontinued on day of discharge. 9. diabetes - she was monitored with fingersticks. initially, she was treated with an insulin drip, but she was later switched to a sliding scale. her bs were generally well controlled. 10. urinary tract infection - urine culture grew e. coli and enterobacter clocae on . she was treated with a 7 day course of meropenem. 9. hypertension - other than during her brief episode of hypotension, she was treated with her outpatient metoprolol and diltiazem. the pts medications wer changed to metoprolol and amiodarone. 10. peripheral vascular disease - plavix and aspirin was continued. vascular surgery was consulted to assess her gangrenous toe, but the decision was made to defer any interventions until such time as her respiratory status had significantly improved. the pt is to follow up with vascular surgery 1 month after discharge to f/u her dry gangrene. she had no post-operative complications stemming from her recent left bka. 11. hyperthyroidism - she was continued on methimazole. her tsh was high and free t4 low. this needs to be readdressed as an outpatient, as her current status was likely complicated by her stay in the icu, and should be assessed once in an outpatient setting. nutrition - she was treated with tube feeds, initially by orogastric tube, then by peg once she had the tracheostomy. communication - her son, , lives in , and can usually be reached at . code status - full medications on admission: atrovent neb flagyl 500mg

presented here for evaluation of nausea, vomitting, and altered mental status. the following medical issues were addressed during this admission: . # brain metastases: she presented with nausea, vomitting, and hypertension. ct scan was suspicious for intralesional brain hemorrhage in the right parietal metastasis and notable for an unchanged degree of vasogenic edema in that same parietal lobe. her nausea and vomitting were thought to be due to her intracranial processes and changes caused by weaning from decadron and the most recent episode of whole brain radiation which the patient underwent. she was started on 6 mg dexamethasone every 6 hours per neurosurgery recommendations, and after discussion with the cardiology service primary medicine team, and her family, her plavix was discontinued as the risks of intracranial bleeding was thought to outweigh the benefits of blood thinning to prevent myocardial ischemia and stent re-stenosis. . # hypertension: she presented with systolic blood pressures in the 220s. this was thought to be due to her intracranial process following weaning from decadron and also cerebral changes post-whole brain radiation. she was started on 6 mg dexamethasone every 6 hours per neurosurgery recommendations, and her systolic blood pressures normalized to 110s to 140s. . # altered mental status: psychiatry was consulted given the patient's history of steroid induced psychosis, and they recommended starting seroquel nightly at 12.5mg and once the patient's qtc was checked for prolongation, she was increased to a dose of 25mg nightly prior to bedtime. . # rheumatoid arthritis: this issue was stable and the patient remains on her methotrexate and steroids for disease control. . # coronary artery disease: this issue was stable and the patient continues on asa 81 mg daily, but has been discontinued from her clopidogrel dose for reasons listed above. . # hyperlipidemia: this issue was stable and the patient continues on simvastatin 40 mg daily. . the patient was discharged home to the facility in where she was prior to admission. she was upset that she was not going home, but cooperated. she will have 2 more radiation treatments for her brain disease, and remains dnr/dni. medications on admission: 1. clopidogrel 75 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. folic acid 1 mg tablet sig: one (1)

admitted to the hospital because your family and neighbors noticed a change in your mental status. tests were run to look inside your brain at the sites where the cancer is. the tests did not show any current areas of bleeding, but this will be a constant concern for you from here on out. for this reason, your doctors have decided, along with your children, that it is in your best interest to no longer take the medication called plavix. this medicine is a blood thinner and can predispose you to brain bleeding. you were originally on the medication because of your heart disease. stopping the medication will place you at a high risk of getting a blockage in one of your heart's artery's again. we discussed this with your children and your other doctors here at the hospital, and everyone agreed that the risks of taking this medication heavily outweighed the benefit. please stop the following medications: -plavix (clopidegrel) please increase the dose of the following medications: -quetiapine (seroquel) now 25mg every night at bedtime followup instructions: you are already scheduled for the remaining two radiation treatments. please have the staff at arrange transportation for

bacteremia treated with gentamycin and ciprofloxacin. 9. , ascites with liver transplant work up by . physical examination: on admission with a temperature of 97.2 f, pulse 88, blood pressure 104/63 on a ventilator simv 700 times 15 with a peep of 5 and fio2 of 100%. generally this patient is intubated and not arousable to painful stimuli. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: she had right orbital ecchymosis. pupils are 8 mm, fixed and dilated bilaterally with sluggish reaction to light. tympanic membranes are normal. icteric eyes and bloody oropharynx. neck is supple. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm. normal s1, s2. no murmurs or thrills noted. chest: coarse rhonchi heard bilaterally. abdomen is distended with positive fluid wave. extremity: +3 pedal edema bilaterally in the upper and lower extremities. lower extremities are cool to touch. skin: jaundice noted, but no spider angiomas noted. there is no caput medusas seen. laboratory: upon admission labs were a white count of 38.1 with the following differential of 54% neutrophils, 34% bands, 5% lymphocytes and 4% monocytes. hematocrit was 22.4, platelets 198,000. sodium 135, potassium 5.5, chloride 104, bicarbonate 13, bun 40, creatinine 1.0, anion gap 18, glucose 84, calcium 8.1, phosphorus 4.4, magnesium 1.6. pt 20.5, ptt 35.1, inr 2.9. total bilirubin is 11, alt 75, ast 163, amylase 385. albumin 2.0, ldh 651, alkaline phosphatase 164, lipase 56, fibrinogen 145, fibrogen degradation products is 80 to 160. d-dimer is greater than 2,000. abg is 7.42 with pco2 of 21 and po2 of 250 on tidal volume is 700 with respiratory rate of 15, peep of 5 and fio2 of 100. urinalysis is hazy with large blood and positive nitrates, 30 protein and 100 glucose is noted. urine micro shows six to 10 red blood cells with greater than 50 white blood cells and many bacteria. urine blood and acidic cultures are pending. serum osmolality pending. ascites chemistry with a protein of 1.5, glucose 108, creatinine 0.8, ldh 100, amylase 12, total bilirubin 2, albumin 0.6, lactate 13.8. hospital course: 1. gi: hepatology team was consulted and they decided not to perform an egd at this time due to the patient being hemodynamically unstable. instead, an oral gastric tube was placed and we lavaged 1.6 liters of dark blood. a paracentesis was performed and 3.5 liters of acidic fluid was removed. the patient was continued on octreotide and given protonix 40 mg iv b.i.d. for prophylaxis. the patient was typed and crossed, but we were unable to get any blood for transfusion due to difficult type and cross. 2. cardiovascular: hypotension, the levophed was increased to 30 mcg per kilogram per minute, however patient remained hypotensive so vasopressin 0.04 units per minute was added. the patient was also bolused with one liter of normal saline every hour. since no packed red blood cells were available, the patient was infused with 25 grams of albumin. finally, dopamine was added at 10 mcg per kilogram per minute to control the low blood pressure. the patient's blood pressure on these triple pressures and fluid boluses was still settling around a systolic blood pressure of 80. 3. respiratory: the patient was initially put on simv at 700 cc times a respiratory rate of 15 with peep of 5 and fio2 of 100%. since the abg shows quite a low co2 and high po2, the patient was switched over to assist-control at 550 cc times 15 with a peep of 5 and fio2 of 60%. her abg at this time showed a ph of 7.34, co2 21 and po2 of 144. however, patient was overbreathing the respiratory with additional respiratory rate of 30 rather than the set 15. so she was switched over to assist-control 550 cc with a respiratory rate of 30, peep of 5 and fio2 of 60%. it is believed that the patient is overbreathing to compensate for her metabolic acidosis. 4. renal: the patient did have a high bun and a normal creatinine. these values reflect that the patient was having an upper gi bleed. she also had a metabolic acidosis with anion gap. it is believed that this is due to the lactate production due to the ischemia both to her organs. we attempted to maintain a blood pressure above systolics of 80s to profuse her organs, however her metabolic acidosis continued to worsen with a anion gap of 20 and bicarbonate of 11. she was also overbreathing with less co2 compensation. her gasses were showing a ph of 7.18 with a pco2 of only 27. 5. infectious disease: patient was initially given levofloxacin 500 mg times one for prophylaxis for possible egd. since her white count was shown to be 38 with a large bandemia, we started ceftazidine 2 grams iv t.i.d. for treatment of primary spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. we also attempted to pan culture her which showed no results at this time. 6. neurologically: at 2 am, the patient began to have seizures. she was given 200 mg of fosphenytoin, 40 mg of ativan and 20 mg of valium. from 2 am to 10 am, the patient was only able to stop seizing for a couple of minutes for about three to four times throughout the whole period. we were finally able to obtain a ct scan of the head which revealed diffuse cerebral edema and effacement of the sulci. no extraocular hemorrhage was found. there were punctate areas of high attenuation in the right frontal cortex that likely represented a contusion. also, it seems that her cerebral tapholes were heading toward herniation. neurosurgery was consulted, but no treatment could be given at this time. neurology was consulted and en egd was obtained showing electrical activity representing myoclonic actions. this myoclonic activity is likely due to hypoxic injury to brain. neurology informed the team who then informed the family of the poor neurologic prognostic factors. patient continued to receive phenobarbitol and then was put on a propofol drip for her presumed seizure activity at the time. she was also given 25 gram of mannitol to lessen the cerebral edema. disposition: around 12:45 pm on , the patient's family did visit her. after the visit, the family decided that the patient should be comfort measures only. her pressor medications were stopped. then the patient was extubated. at 1:08 pm on , mrs. passed away due to hypovolemic and septic shock. discharge diagnoses: 1. hypovolemic and septic shock. 2. upper gi bleed secondary to esophageal tear. 3. ascites secondary to portal hypotension which is secondary to the primary sclerosing cholangitis. 4. cerebral edema secondary to hepatic failure. 5. ischemic hepatitis. 6. sepsis. 7. lactic metabolic

history of present illness: the patient is a 73 year old previously healthy male who, on the day of admission, presented to an outside hospital complaining of substernal chest pain with radiation to the left arm. the patient says that in the weeks prior to admission, he had symptoms consistent with indigestion, which was not being resolved with tums. on the day of admission, he was working on his boat and developed the chest pain. after 20 minutes, during which the pain did not resolve, he called 911. on the scene, there were st elevations noted on the electrocardiogram. the patient was treated with aspirin and nitroglycerin and the nitroglycerin relieved the pain. he continued to have left arm discomfort. he denied any shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting or diaphoresis. he also denied any fevers, chills or sweats. the patient was taken to the outside hospital and underwent a workup for a myocardial infarction. he remained hemodynamically stable. his hematocrit was 40. there, he underwent cardiac catheterization which was significant for a left anterior descending artery with an ostial 60% stenosis followed by serial 90% stenosis. it also showed the left circumflex with 80% stenosis, an obtuse marginal two which was totally occluded, and an obtuse marginal three which was 90% stenotic. the right coronary artery was totally occluded. the patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to to dr. service for emergent coronary artery bypass grafting. the patient arrived at in stable condition. past medical history: negative; the patient denies diabetes mellitus, hypertension or hypercholesterolemia. past surgical history: negative. medications on admission: tums p.r.n. indigestion; the patient arrived from the outside hospital on aspirin, plavix, heparin drip and nitroglycerin. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. social history: the patient denies any alcohol or tobacco use. physical examination: on physical examination, the patient was an elderly gentleman in no acute distress, currently without angina. lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm, no murmur, rub or gallop. abdomen: soft, nontender, no masses. extremities: warm, no edema. neurologic: intact. laboratory data: admission white blood cell count was 7.5, hematocrit 40.1, platelet count 334,000, sodium 139, potassium 3.9, chloride 98, bicarbonate 32, bun 16, creatinine 0.7, glucose 149, and calcium 9.9. electrocardiogram show normal sinus rhythm at a rate of 69 beats per minute, borderline first degree a-v block, and diffuse st elevations. hospital course: the patient was transferred from an outside hospital in stable condition. he arrived at and, after evaluation by cardiothoracic surgery, the patient was taken to the operating room, where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three. the grafts were left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal one and saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal two, performed by the team under dr. . the patient tolerated the procedure well. an evh was performed on the right side with hypertechnique of the right graft. postoperatively, the patient was transferred to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit in stable condition. the patient was extubated without any incident. he was slowly weaned off of oxygen. the patient's cardiovascular status remained stable. initially, cardiac output was 1.9. the patient received one unit of packed red blood cells and a bolus of lactated ringer's. output slowly improved to 2.39. he continued to remain hemodynamically stable. the patient remained alert and oriented times three. on postoperative day number one, the patient was transferred to the floor in stable condition. on postoperative day number one at 11:00 p.m., the patient's monitor recorded wide complex ventricular tachycardia. the patient's blood pressure remained in the 110s. the patient was asymptomatic. the longest continuous run included a 12 beat run. otherwise, the patient's rhythm remained alternating between sinus rhythm intermixed with wide qrs complexes, often two to three beats at a time. the patient's blood pressure continued to remain stable. the patient's electrolytes were repleted and the patient spontaneously converted to a normal sinus rhythm. the patient was evaluated by the electrophysiology service and it was determined that the patient likely had reperfusion ventricular tachycardia. the patient has since remained in sinus rhythm and hemodynamically stable. the patient otherwise has remained afebrile. his chest tubes were discontinued on postoperative day number two without incident. pacing wires were discontinued on postoperative day number three without incident. the patient is ambulating at a level 5. early in postoperative day number two, there was a question of patient's mental status. though the patient remained alert and oriented times three, the patient continually requested to be driving home. he was placed on close observation. the patient's mental status has improved and he is at baseline. on postoperative day number three, the patient's hematocrit had moved from 24 to 20.8. the patient was transfused two units of packed red blood cells and his hematocrit remained stable. the patient is now stable and ready for discharge to home. discharge diagnosis: coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting times three. discharge medications: lasix 20 mg p.o.b.i.d. times seven days. potassium chloride 20 meq p.o.b.i.d. times seven days. colace 100 mg p.o.b.i.d. enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o.q.d. lopressor 50 mg p.o.b.i.d. niferex 150 mg p.o.q.d. tylenol 650 mg p.o.q.4h.p.r.n. advil 400 mg p.o.q.6h.p.r.n. condition on discharge: stable. follow-up: the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. in six weeks. the patient is to follow up with dr. , his primary care physician, two weeks. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery (Aorto)coronary bypass of two coronary arteries Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Unspecified transient mental disorder in conditions classified elsewhere Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia
allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: addendum: with regard for infection: ms. was afebrile on discharge but had a low-grade fever to 100.4 the evening prior to discharge. blood culture, urine culture, catheter-tip culture, cxr, and abdominal ct have all been unrevealing. with regard to localizing symptoms: she does have oral thrush and has complained of a sensation that something is caught in her throat and a dry cough, although she denies any odynophagia. she does not have any abdominal pain on discharge, or any diarrhea. she actually states she feels "normal" and well. her daughter has had a recent febrile illness, alhtough she has not visited in a week. ms. wbc count on discharge is 16 with a left shift, up from 6 the prior day. however; she was still on neupogen the day of this wbc count, it was discontinued on . her wbc count had been in the 20's earlier in her course, although without bands. she is discharged on a 7-day course of fluconazole and nystatin to treat oropharyngeal thrush. she is instructed to call dr. if she has a fever. she is also instructed to fax cbc with diff to dr. every tuesday and thursday. . with regard to lab results on discharge: n 139, k 3.6, cl 103, bicarb 28, bun 5, cr 0.6, gluc 89 wbc 16 with 66%pmn and 6% bands + toxic gran and dohle bodies hct 29.4, plt 181 . discharge disposition: extended care facility: - md Procedure: Interruption of the vena cava Colonoscopy Transfusion of packed cells Injection or infusion of cancer chemotherapeutic substance Other diagnostic procedures on small intestine Diagnoses: Friedl?nder's bacillus infection in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site Acute posthemorrhagic anemia Personal history of malignant neoplasm of breast Candidiasis of mouth Other specified cardiac dysrhythmias Bacteremia Hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract, unspecified Reticulosarcoma, unspecified site, extranodal and solid organ sites Benign neoplasm of colon
allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: melena major surgical or invasive procedure: ivc filter placement on history of present illness: 72 yo f with dlbcl s/p small bowel performation with duodenal-jejunal and jejuenal-jejuenal anastomosis, s/p rchop on . her prior hospital course had complications including post-operative pulmonary embolus and gib in the setting of heparin drip/coumadin that stabilized after transfusion of 2u prbc. her course was also complicated by multifocal atrial tachycardia. she was discharged home with lovenox, diltiazem and metoprolol. . she then represented with 1 day melena and shortness of breath with right lower quadrant pain, no nausea or vomiting. she refused ng lavage in emergency department and was found to have a hematocrit of 27.9 (stable from discharge) that fell to 24.4 on repeat. she was transfused 3u prbcs and her hematocrit stabilized. she was then admitted to the icu for observation and colonoscopy. past medical history: 1. rt breast cancer s/p lumpectomy in ; no xrt or chemotherapy. was on tamoxifen prior to dlbcl dx. 2. dlbcl diagnosed when presented with intestinal perforation and repair 3. duodenal-jejunal and jejunal-jejunal anastamosis 4. post-operative pe; treated with heparin and then lovenox 5. gi bleed on heparin 6. multifocal atrial tachycardia vs sinus tach with atrial ectopy diagnosed social history: russian immigrant who lives near to in . her daugter lives in and is involved but unable to take care of ms. daily needs. no tobacco no etoh family history: father

mild abd pain ruq and epigastrium ext: + pedal edema pertinent results: cxr: impression: 1. right picc likely within the right brachiocephalic vein. 2. no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary process or free intraperitoneal air. . ct abdomen/pelvis: normal appendix. no evidence of obstruction. significant improvement in paraaortic retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. decrease in size of rim-enhancing fluid collection within the cul-de-sac. no change in hepatic cysts. fibroid uterus. . colonoscopy: small polyp. area of thickened bowl that may be c/w lymphoma. no bleeding seen . : sbft: normal . : pill endoscopy with active bleeding and clot distal to anastomosis site. no avms or diverticuli seen. . : there is interval decrease in size in the previously demonstrated rim enhancing fluid collection, now measuring 33 x 9 mm, previously 34.7 mm on , and measuring 56 x 33 mm on . there is a calcified fibroid uterus. bone windows reveal degenerative changes. grade ii anterolisthesis of l4 and l5 is again demonstrated. brief hospital course: ms is a 72 yo f with diffuse large b cell lymphoma originally presenting in with small bowel perforation, s/p d-j and j-j anastamosis and post-op pulmonary embolus. with history of gi bleed on heparin who represented with gi bleed on lovenox. . gib: ms. was admitted to the medical icu for observation/stabilization and treatment. she received 3 u prbcs in the ed and then 2u prbcs on with stabilization of ther hematocrit. her heparin was intermittently held until hematocrit stabilization. she had a colonoscopy in the micu which did not reveal any cause of her bleeding but did reveal a polyp which was not biopsied. the patient was hemodynamically stable with adequate blood pressure, although she did have tachycardia to the 150's. ms. had had an upper endoscopy in the setting of gib on her last admission which showed normal post-operative changes without bleeding. therefore the patient had a pill endoscopy on wich revealed active bleeding in the area of the distal jejunum, but did not find a specific source. then on ms. had another gib in the setting of a supratherapeutic ptt (approx 100) with 7 point hematocrit drop and 2 episodes of melena. at that point her heparin was discontinued, a large bore iv was placed, and she was transfused 2 u prbcs. q 6hr hematocrits were followed. dr. , ms. gi surgeon, was consulted who felt that surgery was not the best option. she did have a j-j anastamosis but it was difficult to assess if the surgical site was the source of bleeding versus her abdominal lymphoma. interventional radiology was called and an ivc filter was placed on without complications and anticoagulation was not resumed. she has had some episodes of melena, however her hematocrit has now been stable for 4 days. . lymphoma: ms. was s/p cycle 1 rchop on admission. ct abdomen on showed decrease in retroperitoneal lad implying response to the chemotherapy. she received cycle 2 of rituxan-chop as scheduled on with a dose-reduction in cyclophosphamide and daunorubicin. she was treated with allopurinol the day prior to and during her chemotherapy (200mg/day) and will be sent home with this. she has had no signs of tumor lysis syndrome. she tolerated the chemotherapy will with some mild nausea and anorexia as side-effects. daily cbc with diff was followed. she was treated with gcsf injections daily due to her rapid nadir on last admission. she will be due for cycle 3 on . . colon polyp: this was seen on colonoscopy: see omr for full report. biopsy was not taken in the setting of gib and heparinization. this should be followed as an outpatient with repeat colonoscopy and polypectomy. . tachycardia: ms was diagnosed on her last admission with multifocal atrial tachycardia vs sinus tachycardia w/ atrial ectopy on her last admission and was started on metoprolol and diltiazem as per the recommendations of cardiology consult service. this admission ms. has had sinus tachycardia with questionable atrial ectopy up to 150's. it was difficult to decide how to treat her tachycardia becuase of the undesirability of suppressing a reactive sinus tachycardia. after stabilizationin the micu, it was decided eventually to keep her on her diltiazem 30 qid and metoprolol 25 po bid because she maintained adequate bp. she was kept on telemetry. she was tachycardic for a few days in the 100-140 range and then abruptly had a decrease in her hr to 70-100. she remained in sinus rhythm at this rate for 2 days before telemetry was discontinued. her blood pressure has been tolerating metoprolol 25 and diltiazem 30 qid, therefore this regimen will be continued as an outpatient. . kliebsiella bacteremia: ms was finishing a course of levofloxacin for klebsiella bacteremia from her last admission. she finished and was afebrile until when she had a temperature of 100.6. her midline catheter was removed and blood, catheter tip, and urine cultures were obtained that have been no growth to date. cxr showed only some minor atelectasis. abdominal ct only showed decreased size of lymphoma and no abcess. ms. developed oral thrush prior to dispo and is recieving a 1-week course of nystatin + fluconazole. she is feeling well. . pe: ms had a small pulmonary embolus on her last hospitalization in the post operative setting. she clearly demonstrated that she is not an anticoagulation candidate. therefore; and ivc filter was placed without complication on . she has never had an oxygen requirement. . fen: ms. was given ivf with electrolyte replacement as needed. she was npo for much of her hospital course for gi procedures and bleeding. she was advanced to a regular diet prior to discharge which she has tolerated with some mild nausea, but mainly with poor appetite in the post-chemotherapy setting. . ppx: ms. received iv protonix in the setting of gi bleed. . discharge medications: 1. scalp prosthesis scalp prosthesis for alopecia secondary to

comparison: ct of the abdomen , abdominal x-ray . technique: contrast-enhanced axial ct images of the abdomen and pelvis were obtained with coronally and sagittally reformatted images. 130 cc of iv optiray contrast was used. ct of the abdomen with iv contrast: the lung bases reveal a moderate amount of infiltrate at the lung bases bilaterally. the visualized portions of the heart and pericardium are unremarkable. the liver again demonstrates multiple low attenuation lesions, which are unchanged in size or appearance compared to the previous study. the spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are unremarkable. the left kidney again demonstrates a caliceal diverticulum which is unchanged in appearance compared to the previous study. also seen is the previously identified low attenuation lesion at the upper pole of the left kidney which appears unchanged. the right kidney is unremarkable. the infrarenal ivc filter is again visualized. the gallbladder is unremarkable. retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is again visualized with a conglomerate of lymph nodes in series 2, image 41 measuring 24 x 9 mm. in the previous study in , this conglomerate measured 34 x 15 mm. contrast is seen passing through the first site of small bowel anastomosis, however, the small bowel at this level appears dilated, with a transition point seen distal to the first anastamosis in series 2, image 57. the small bowel distal to this transition point is markedly dilated and fluid filled without contrast seen within the lumen. the small bowel measures up to 3.8 cm in diameter. another transition point is seen distal to this dilated loop of bowel in series 2, images 60 and the small bowel distal to this transition point is fully collapsed. this is very characteristic of a closed loop small- bowel obstruction. the second site of small bowel anastomosis is distal to the second transition point and is collapsed. significant free fluid is seen within the abdomen. the small bowel wall does not appear to be thickened. no free air is identified. ct of the pelvis with iv contrast: the rectum and sigmoid appear collapsed but otherwise unremarkable. fibroids are again seen within the uterus and one of the fibroids appears calcified. free fluid is identified within the pelvis although the rim enhancing fluid collection may appear smaller. no pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are seen within the pelvis. post-surgical changes of the ventral abdominal wall are again identified. osseous structures again reveal degenerative changes and a grade ii anterolisthesis of l4 onto l5. coronal and sagittal reformations support the above findings. impression: 1. closed loop small-bowel obstruction as described above. contrast is seen going through the first small bowel anastomosis. the second small bowel anastomosis is distal to the obstruction. no bowel wall thickening or pneumatosis of the small bowel is seen. significant free fluid is seen within the abdomen. 2. bilateral lower lobe infiltrate suggestive of infectious process. abdomen (supine & erect) 4:42 am abdomen (supine & erect) reason: r/o sbo medical condition: 72 year old woman with abd pain, hx operation reason for this examination: r/o sbo indication: 72-year-old with history of prior operations with severe abdominal pain, rule out small bowel obstruction. comparisons: kub of . ap and supine abdomen: diaphragms are not well shown to fully evaluate for free intraperitoneal air. there are multiple dilated loops of small bowel with air-fluid levels. small amount of distal air within the ascending colon but a paucity more distal to this. ivc filter noted. impression: multiple dilated loops of small bowel with air-fluid levels, suspicious for small bowel obstruction. no definite free intraperitoneal air, however, the regions under the diaphragms are suboptimally evaluated. if there is high suspicion for small bowel obstruction, ct may provide a more accurate assessment. cardiology report ecg study

allergies: penicillins / sulfa (sulfonamides) attending: chief complaint: foot pain, fevers, sepsis, cardiogenic shock major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: chief complaint: transferred from for management of acute on chronic congestive heart failure. . history of present illness: mrs. is a 76 year-old portuguese-speaking woman with insulin dependent diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cerebrovascular disease (with stroke), copd, depression, gerd, heart failure (lvef 20%) and chronic renal failure presenting to hospital with generalized weakness, possible abdominal pain, and leg and right foot pain. today she is transferred to for management of fluid overload. . the discharge summary from mentions that she was suffering from gout with treatment begun in the nursing home, abdominal ct to assess ?abdominal pain, and generalized weakness. she had also presented with a creatinine of 2.2 and it appears that fluid resuscitation was commenced that has now reduced her creatinine but worsened her heart failure. in her summary, lower extremity pain was attributed to vascular disease and possibly in need of vascular studies and intervention. she is also to be worked-up for acute causes of heart failure. ct scan of the right kidney is suggestive of pyelonephritis that has so far been treated with levaquin (renal dosing). while in-house at . one blood culture bottle was positive for staphlococcus but this was atributed to contamination. another set from was negative at the time of transfer. cxr was suspicious for infiltration of the lower lobes. . per the patient: there was no joint tap to diagnose gout. osh records state that she was given allopurinol two weeks ago in the nursing home for suspected gout along with colchicine (unclear if renally dosed). she is mostly concerned for the pain in her right foot which is the reason she gave for her admission to . she says that it had become painful in the nursing home and that she could no longer stand on it. she has trouble walking due to her left hemiparesis, and now with foot and bilateral leg pain. past medical history: .chronic congestive heart failure (lvef ~ 20%) .nstemi

said touching feet very painful but seemed blase. reflexes not tested. unable to walk. pertinent results: imaging: . cxr: impression: minimal pulmonary edema in the presence of mild cardiomegaly. no new consolidation. . echo: the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 15-20 %). the right ventricular cavity is dilated with depressed free wall contractility. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. moderate (2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the aortic regurgitation jet is eccentric, directed toward the anterior mitral leaflet. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no masses or vegetations are seen on the mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. there is moderate thickening of the mitral valve chordae. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no masses or vegetations are seen on the tricuspid valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. . impression: no evidence of vegetation or abscess. severe global lv hypokinesis. the lateral wall has relatively better function. the ventricle appears dyssynchronous. moderate mitral, aortic and tricuspid regurgitation (all may be underestimated due to acoustic shadowing from widespread calcification). moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. . compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , overall ejection fraction is probably slightly less. degree of aortic regurgitation has increased, degrees of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation probably similar. estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressures are higher. . ct chest/abdomen/pelvis: chest: trace pleural fluid is present bilaterally with minimal dependent bibasilar atelectasis. images are somewhat degraded due to respiratory motion artifact; however, there is no consolidation. small amount of fluid is present in the dependent portion of the central trachea. cardiomegaly and heavy coronary arterial calcifications and atherosclerotic calcification of the thoracic aorta is unchanged. there is no mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy. median sternotomy wires are in place. . abdomen: the liver, spleen, adrenals, and kidneys are within normal limits. numerous surgical clips in the gallbladder fossa and at the posterior aspect of the right hepatic lobe from previous cholecystectomy are again seen. there is no biliary ductal dilatation. the pancreas is within normal limits. there is diffuse atherosclerotic calcification of the abdominal aorta, aortic branches, and intrarenal vascular calcifications are noted. right femoropopliteal arterial graft is again noted. there are no peritoneal fluid collections. there is a large amount of stool in the rectum, descending colon, and distal transverse colon. there is no small- bowel obstruction. a normal appendix is noted. there is no bowel wall thickening or pneumatosis. . pelvis: the urinary bladder is collapsed about a foley catheter balloon. focus of air in the nondependent portion of the bladder is likely related to foley catheter placement. again seen is a calcified uterine fibroid. there are no adnexal masses. there are no pelvic fluid collections. . abdominal wall: numerous areas of infiltration of the subcutaneous fat in the anterior abdominal wall, few foci of subcutaneous air are likely related to injection sites. . bones: multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic and lumbar spine are unchanged. compression deformity of the superior endplate of l1 is unchanged. right glenohumeral joint degenerative change and mild bilateral hip osteoarthritis is noted. . impression: 1. no pneumonia, as questioned. 2. no abdominal or pelvic collections. no findings suggestive of ischemic colitis. . ct head: findings: there is no intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of normally midline structures, or edema. the ventricles and cerebral sulci remain prominent, compatible with age-related involutional change. periventricular regions of hypodensity are unchanged, consistent with small vessel ischemic change. bilateral basal ganglia calcifications are again noted. the -white matter differentiation remains normal. chronic left basal ganglia, thalamic and left frontal infarcts are unchanged. mastoid air cells are hypoplastic. the paranasal sinuses are otherwise well aerated. . impression: no intracranial hemorrhage. . cta lower extremities impression: 1. occluded left superficial femoral artery with reconstitution at the popliteal. complete occlusion of the left posterior tibial artery with severely diseased, but patent anterior tibial and peroneal arteries. 2. patent fem- bypass graft on the right with stable severe narrowing at the insertion of the bypass graft into the popliteal artery. occluded native superficial femoral artery on the right. evaluation for the runoff to the lower right leg is limited as the entire lower leg is not visualized on this study. however, it does appear that the posterior tibial artery is occluded on this side. . micro: . , c. diff: neg blood cx: , , x2: ngtd blood cx: , , x2: negative

heart failure as well as hypoalbuminemia, possibly with neuropathic contribution. gout is possible, but the appearance of the feet and distribution of pain are not consistent with monoarticular or oligoarticular gout, particularly not the great toe. dvt is possible but seen as less likely given bilateral symmetry and given the the degree of edema is somewhat in keeping with that of her hand and other signs such as crackles, raised jvp. arterial insufficiency is also possible as is diabetic neuropathy. initial workup consisted of leni's (negative for dvt), and treatment for cellultis (started on vanco and cipro, switched to vanc and ceftriaxone given hx of cipro resistant e.coli at the site of her fem- bypass in the past). cta lower extremities performed showing occluded left superficial femoral artery with reconstitution at the popliteal. complete occlusion of the left posterior tibial artery with severely diseased, but patent anterior tibial and peroneal arteries. patent fem- bypass graft on the right with stable severe narrowing at the insertion of the bypass graft into the popliteal artery. occluded native superficial femoral artery on the right. evaluation for the runoff to the lower right leg is limited as the entire lower leg is not visualized on this study. however, it does appear that the posterior tibial artery is occluded on this side. it was felt that patient's leg pain was largely from pad/pvd/lower extremity ischemia, and vascular was consulted. however, angiogram was not performed, given co-morbidities and remainder of hospital course. . ## renal failure: multifactorial, and likely from medications, impaired forward flow from heart failure, being physiologically pre-renal despite fluid overload, contrast nephropathy and possibly atn. . ##

previous positive cultures since . initial concern for infectious etiologies included the following: *** intra-abdominal: given pain on palpation, and fevers while on broad spectrum gram positive coverage with somewhat limited gram negative/anaerobic coverage. initial differential included c. diff colitis, mesenteric ischemia (given multiple vasculopathies, elevated lactate), abscess. however, ct torso was negative and pain resolved with disimpaction and bowel regimen. patient was intermittently started on flagyl which was discontinued after the negative imaging. *** urine: there was initial concern for renal abscess given prior history of pyelonephritis; however, ct was negative. *** graft site infection of right fem- graft site: given right foot pain and history of resistant e. coli/ mrsa at the wound site. in icu, antibiotics were initially broadened for gram negative coverage to cefepime to cover pseudomonas. infectious disease was consulted who. drug induced fever was considered. . # volume status/chronic systolic hf: as evidenced by her abgs and electrolyte profile, she may have been over-diuresed at time of admission to micu. diuresis was held and the patient was provided fluids. her ace was also held given hypotension. . # peripheral arterial disease: will follow up vascular surgery recs re: need for angio once hemodynamically stable. . # insulin dependent

allergies: nickel attending: chief complaint: headaches. major surgical or invasive procedure: right craniotomy for evacuation of subdural hematoma. history of present illness: 60yo woman with pmh signficant for cad s/p mi in , san fever s/p rul lung resection, presents as an osh transfer with two weeks r sided headache. she reports her symptoms began approximately two weeks ago, when she had "flu-like symptoms" - body aches, headache. she was concerned this was the san , as the body aches were similar (but were accompanied by fever and unclear if accompanied by headache, this time they were without fever and with headache). she treated these symptoms with tylenol, alleve, and other cold medications but the headache did not go away. it continued to worsen, and was waking her up from sleep. she describes it as a shooting pain behind her right ear (never on the left side), constant and gnawing, with occasional "jolts" that cause her to lose her balance, become nauseous, and once vomit. it feels "like someone's driving a stake through your head." she went to the hospital when she could no longer stand the pain or the lack of sleep. she found no aggravating or alleviating factors (?if ice may have helped), no change with position. she had no preceding trauma, loss of consciousness, numbness, tingling, weakness, change in speech, difficulty thinking, bowel or bladder dysfunction, hearing problems, or diplopia. she feels it is more difficult to see becuase her eyes are "running" more and it hurts to focus, as if she has sandpaper over her eyes. she denies fevers or chills. she presented to an osh, where she had a hct and was found to have a right sided subdural hematoma. she was transferred to the ed, where she had a repeat hct and received first morphine, then dilaudid for her headache. further history became somewhat limited as she became more somnolent immmediately after receiving the dilaudid. past medical history: -san fever s/p rul resection -cad s/p

with the prior chest x-ray of . patchy infiltrates are still present in the right upper lobe, mildly improved since the prior chest x-ray. bilateral effusions are again seen, probably indicating the presence of some underlying failure as well. the position of the two lines remains unaltered. impression: marginal improvement in right upper lobe pneumonia, some failure persists. cardiology report echo study date of interpretation: findings: left atrium: dilated la. right atrium/interatrial septum: dilated ra. dilated ivc (>2.5 cm), with minimal respiratory variation c/w elevated ra pressure of >20 mmhg. left ventricle: normal lv wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricle: rv hypertrophy. dilated rv cavity. aortic valve: mildly thickened aortic valve

and systolic function are normal (lvef 60-70%). the right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. the right ventricular cavity is dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. 11:16:48 pm ekg sinus rhythm and occasional ventricular ectopy. otherwise, compared to the previous tracing of no diagnostic interim change. intervals axes rate pr qrs qt/qtc p qrs t 72 158 96 428/451.85 9 -24 45 2:29 pm ct chest w/o contrast reason: elevated wbc with persistent right infiltrate, ? pulmonary a diffuse bilateral pulmonary abnormalities are present, including smoothly thickened septal lines, areas of reticulation, and multifocal ground-glass opacities. these findings involve multiple lobes of both lungs but are asymmetrically distributed. in the left lung, they are most severe in the lingula and in the right lung, most severe in the right upper lobe. additionally, there are multiple areas of patchy consolidation, most pronounced in the right upper lobe. within the left lower lobe, there is a focal area of confluent opacity with associated volume loss, favoring atelectasis over consolidation. similarly, a confluent area of opacity in the right lower lobe, immediately adjacent to pleural fluid is probably due to focal atelectasis. asymmetric soft tissue density in right supraclavicular region could be due to asymmetrical musculature but is difficult to distinguish from lymphadenopathy in the absence of intravenous contrast. numerous mediastinal lymph nodes are present, measuring up to 2 cm in diameter in greatest short axis dimension in the precarinal region. subcarinal nodes measure up to 1.3 cm in short axis dimension. pulmonary hila are difficult to assess in the setting of enlarged pulmonary arteries and absence of intravenous contrast, but there is likely at least mild hilar lymphadenopathy present. the main pulmonary artery is enlarged at 3.7 cm. the heart is upper limits of normal in size. coronary artery calcifications are present. small bilateral dependent pleural effusions are present, right slightly greater than left. within the imaged portion of the upper abdomen, there is diffuse nonspecific soft tissue stranding within the mesentery. right renal artery stent is present. no suspicious abnormalities are identified within the liver on this unenhanced study. there is a rounded low attenuation lesion within the spleen measuring about 1.8 cm in diameter, and a second smaller central lesion measuring about 8 mm in diameter. these are also difficult to assess in the absence of contrast. superficial surgical clips are present in the left posterior upper abdominal wall, and there is nonspecific soft tissue stranding near the clips. comparison ct abdomen demonstrates a similar appearance in this region. the pleural effusions have slightly increased in size bilaterally since the prior abdominal ct, and the left basilar opacity has worsened. right lower lobe is slightly better aerated posteriorly compared to the prior abdominal ct. with regard to the splenic lesions, the two lesions appear unchanged from the recent abdominal ct. impression: 1. multifocal ground glass opacities and septal thickening, most likely due to hydrostatic pulmonary edema. 2. asymmetrical consolidation predominantly involving the right upper lobe is concerning for infectious pneumonia given the history of elevated white blood cell count. asymmetrical edema is within the differential diagnosis. 3. small bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than left, slightly increased from recent abdominal ct. 4. bulky mediastinal lymphadenopathy and questionable right supraclavicular nodes. if nephrectomy was performed for renal cell carcinoma, followup ct with intravenous contrast would be recommended to exclude the possibility of metastatic lymphadenopathy. differential diagnosis includes reactive/hyperplastic lymph nodes. 5. status post left nephrectomy and right renal artery stenting. 6. splenic lesions without change from recent abdominal ct 3:00 pm ct head w/o contrast findings: there is no intracranial mass effect, hydrocephalus, shift of normally midline structures, or major vascular territorial infarction. the -white differentiation is preserved. a small rounded area of low attenuation is seen in the head of the caudate nucleus on the right side, representing an old lacunar infarct. a similar area of low attenuation is visualized in the right medial temporal lobe, also representing lacunar infarct, chronic in age. the surrounding soft tissue and osseous structures are unremarkable. there is evidence of a probable left maxillary medial wall antrostomy- please confirm and correlate with prior history. impression: no mass effect or hemorrhage radiology final report 11:18 am mr head w/o contrast technique: multiplanar t1- and t2-weighted imaging of the brain was performed. however, this study could not be completed as the patient's sats dropped and patient did not want to continue the study. findings: the few sequences (sagittal and axial t1, axial t2, and axial flair) are limited due to motion artifacts. the cerebral sulci appear hyperintense on the pre-contrast t1-weighted images. this appearance could be due to the retained ct contrast given intravenously, due to the associated renal failure. the ventricles are unremarkable. no mass effect, shift of normally midline structures noted. the osseous and the soft tissues structures are unremarkable, including the paranasal sinuses and the orbits. impression: 1. incomplete study as the patient's sats dropped and did not want to continue the study. 2. limited images reveal hyperintense cerebral sulci, which could be due to be

discharge instructions: what is it? there are two general categories of kidney failure: acute and chronic. in acute kidney failure, the kidneys suddenly lose much of their ability to filter blood, often because of an injury, serious damage to the kidneys or other organs, or exposure to a toxin (poison). some of the illnesses that can lead to acute kidney failure include a severe blood loss, severe dehydration, severe drops in blood pressure, heatstroke, severe muscle damage and heart or liver failure. in addition, anything that blocks the organs' blood supply or the outflow of urine -- including tumors or an enlarged prostate -- can lead to kidney shutdown. the toxins that can trigger acute kidney failure include such medications such as antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), and certain anesthetics. occasionally, procedures done in a hospital can also lead to acute kidney failure. whatever the cause, acute kidney failure can be deadly. without the normal waste removal system, the blood often becomes loaded with potassium -- an imbalance called hyperkalemia, which can lead to heart rhythm disturbances. the blood also becomes highly acidic and dangerously low in sodium. if a patient isn't producing enough urine, fluids build up rapidly and swamp other tissues. the death rate from acute renal failure can be high, depending on the cause of the kidney failure and other complications that the patient may have. on the bright side, the kidneys have an amazing capacity to heal themselves. this means most patients who survive acute kidney failure can enjoy a complete recovery within one to two months. some patients, however, need a year or so before their kidneys are fully functional again. others, whose kidneys have been severely damaged, may go on to chronic kidney failure. while acute kidney failure can happen in days, chronic kidney failure is a slow decline that often spans several years and often leads to irreversible damage. diabetes and high blood pressure can slowly damage the kidneys and trigger a long-term decline in function. other conditions associated with chronic kidney failure include polycystic kidney disease and use of the drug lithium. kidneys in chronic failure will never recover their normal function. when kidneys go into chronic failure, much of the body suffers. the buildup of fluids and waste products can set off a cascade of complications, including weakened bones, hypertension, stomach ulcers, anemia, miscarriages, changes in skin color, congestive heart failure, and lapses in concentration and memory. (not all kidney failure patients -- acute or chronic -- have a decrease in urine. in some patients, the kidneys continue to excrete urine that's mainly water without removing most of the body's waste products. while these people don't suffer from fluid buildup, imbalances from excess waste products remain a problem.) when the symptoms of advanced renal failure are present, a person is said to have end-stage renal disease, often called esrd. at this point, the patient will need treatment -- either dialysis or a kidney transplant -- to stay alive. followup instructions: call dr office, he can be reched at . your daughter has scheduled an appoinment with nephrology in for you to continue dialysis. it is very important that you keep this appointment. the point of contact is , phone number .

service: curlin history of present illness: is a 29 year-old woman with melas (mitochondrial encephalo-myopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke like symptoms) who was brought into the emergency room by her mother for a gradual decline in mental status over the past week that led to a fall the had been increasingly agitated and emotional for the past few days. family members report that she took her anti-seizure medication of the next 3-4 days all at once and became "confused". the patient remembers falling, but cannot relay the immediate events prior to and after the fall. until recently was driving, working as a greeter at an mother reports that she has been less able to care for herself and has had to move back into her mother's house in the past few weeks. states that she feels like she is "going to die" and that her "mother is going to leave," but expresses no intention to harm herself. past medical history: melas diagnosed at age 18 after presenting with poor weight gain, headaches, repeated seizures. prior to these events was enrolled in college. mother reports three strokes at age 20, 24 and 29 namely one month ago. her mother reports no residual effects of any of the strokes. medications on admission: 1. dilantin 100 t.i.d. 2. verapamil 240 q.d. 3. vitamin c 500 b.i.d. 4. vitamin e 400 iu q.d. 5. co-enzyme q 150 q.d. 6. riboflavin/calcium 100/40 q.d. 7. mebaral 50 q.d. 8. klonopin 0.5 t.i.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: no alcohol, drugs or tobacco use. her parents are divorced. she is currently cared for by her mother and a . physical examination: she was afebrile. she had a blood pressure of 127/73. heart rate of 70 and was sating 100% on room air. she was lying in the stretcher and was easily distracted. she had an ecchymosis over her left eye and some perioral dermatitis. her abdomen was soft, nontender and nondistended. her fundi were clear. she was alert and did not follow commands well. she knew her name, date and place. she was able to spell her name forward and backward. her immediate recall was 4 out of 4 with her memory being 0 out of 4 after 30 seconds. she was able to repeat sentences, read name tags and follow two step commands. she was able to clap her hands. she had normal facial sensation. her face was symmetric. her hearing was intact and her tongue was midline. her muscle bulk was decreased without hypotonia. she is moving her extremities spontaneously and on command and lifted her legs well. she had no tremor. her sensation was intact to light touch throughout her upper and lower extremities. her toes were down going. her lungs were clear and her heart rate was regular in rhythm and rate with no murmurs. laboratory: her hcg was negative. her electrolytes were normal. her dilantin level was 35. head ct showed no acute process. hospital course: ms. was admitted for observation given her high dilantin levels and her mental status changes. over the next few days, ms. developed severe metabolic acidosis with high lactate levels and an aspiration pneumonia that required intubation and icu admission. she was given levaquin with clearing of her pneumonia. her lactic acidosis was succesfully corrected with hyperventilation and fluids in the next day. however, she failed extubation twice and on the required placement of a tracheostomy tube. she also had a peg tube placed at that point. she then developed seizures that were eventually controlled with dilantin, keppra, and ativan. at this point she developed a second right lower lobe pneumonia. she was initially treated with clindamycin and cipro. due to her decreased responsiveness with quadriplegia, a head mri was obtained on the that showed wide spread bilateral cortical hyperintensitis on flair, dwi and t2wi consistent with stroke- like lesions and remarkable subcortical atrophy with a normal mra. emg was also obtained that showed diffused severe myopathy possibly consistent with critical care myopathy. an abdominal ct obtained around that time showed a right colon impaction believed to be secondary to dysmotility from melas syndrome. a general surgical consult believed that she was not a good surgical candidate and had recommended that she become npo with ngd compression and tpn for nutrition. dr from the neuro-muscular service was also consulted who reccomended a 5 day-course of high dose iv prednisone. at the end of the 5 days due to her lack of significant improvement, a family consult was obtained that agreed on making the patient dnr/dni, comfort measures only and the antibiotics were stopped on the . at this point she began to show clinical improvement and so was reinstated to full code status on the . tpn was restarted and aggressive bowel regimen was begun to try to clear her partial large bowel obstruction. on the she became febrile and was found to have coag negative staph bacteremia. the right subclavian line she had in was stopped at that point and she was started on vancomycin and ceftriaxone. a chest x-ray on the showed increasing infiltrates in the right middle lobe and the left lung, so her ceftriaxone was changed to zosyn. as she was seizure free from the she was transferred to the medicine service to manage her pneumonia and her partial large bowel obstruction. after her transfer she remained afebrile and repeat blood cultures were negative. an infectious disease consult was obtained that recommended five days of vanco for her line sepsis and fourteen days of zosyn for her pneumonia. she did well on both of these treatments. a gi consult was obtained with regard to her partial large bowel obstruction and an aggressive bowel regimen including reglan, suppositories, enemas, colace and golytely was recommended, which helped to clean out most of her bowel. by the time of this dictation her abdomen is soft and only a single mass of stool is palpable in the suprapubic region. she was on tpn for nutrition for most of until the when her family decided they wished to withdraw treatment and at that point her tpn was stopped. from a neurological standpoint her dilantin level was 26 on the and so it was held and will be restarted after her level drops to the low 15. she will continue on iv ativan for seizure prophylaxis. on the her neurological status has progressed to the point where she is not responsive to voice except for occasionally. she has been afebrile for over a week and has improved clinically in terms of her pneumonia with decreased secretions on the zosyn. she will have three more days of zosyn and then be done with antibiotics. her ng tube and peg tube are clamped and she is receiving no more drugs for her bowel regimen. she continues to receive trach care and suctioning with stable amount of secretions. her antiepileptic drugs include ativan and dilantin. the dilantin is being held and his being restarted after the levels are less then 15. she is in the midst of a solu-medrol taper. the only other medications that she is receiving are heparin and protonix for prophylactic purposes. discharge diagnoses: 1. end-stage melas with diffused multiple bilateral cortical stroke-like lesions, a severe generalized myopathy and gi dysmotility resulting in a partial large bowel obstruction. 2. resolving pneumonia. discharge medications: 1. ativan 0.5 mg iv t.i.d. 2. dilantin 300 mg iv q.h.s.

dose of aspirin was increased to 325 mg po q day. he tolerated well without any complications. he had no chest pain until the day before discharge at which point he complained of some chest pressure. no electrocardiogram changes noted. no radiation and positionally changed more comfortable in sitting forward position then laying backward, but resolved with ibuprofen since. no electrocardiogram changes. his pre cath echocardiogram showed a hocm with valve and severe resting lvot gradient, moderate eccentric mitral regurgitation, biatrial enlargement, peak resting, lvot gradient of 60, pasp of 25 and his left ventricular ef was greater then 75% and inducible gradient was 80-160 mmhg. at conclusion following intervention, peak lvot gradient in presence dobutamine reduced to 20 mmhg. in terms of his rate the patient was placed on a temporary pacemaker in the cath lab. the temporary pacemaker was initially set at a rate of 70 with a threshold, which was about 1.5 to 2, which upon the transfer to coronary care unit the lead had moved up from the right ventricle to the right atrium and the patient was a pacing. at which point the cardiology service was consulted and he had a bedside fluoroscopy, readjustment of his pacemaker leads done and was replaced back into the right ventricle without any difficulty. follow up chest x-ray showed patient's lead again correctly placed in rv. the patient had two episodes of occasional v pacing two days prior to discharge when his heart rate dropped into the 50s. since then his heart rate parameter was decreased to 35 and the problem was alleviated since then and the patient since has not required any v pacing since he was in the coronary care unit. in terms of his history of parathyroidectomy, his calcium was checked on admission and his calcium levels had been within normal limits and monitored closely without any difficulties. in terms of his fluids, electrolytes and nutrition he tolerated his diet well after the first day and no nausea or vomiting and he was advanced to a regular diet cardiac since. prophylactically, he was on protonix, pneumoboots and a bowel regimen and did well while he was here. because of his age, strong family history of hocm, and high physical stress occupation, the ep service was consulted re consideration of future placement of aicd to lower risk of sudden death. after talking to dr. and the other cardiologists on service he is now thinking about getting an icd placed in a couple of weeks. he has dr. number and will follow up with. he is also to follow up with his cardiology physician who is dr. in in the next week. the patient is being discharged to home in stable and good condition. the patient is to call or follow up if any new chest pain or shortness of breath, lightheadedness, difficulty breathing, palpitations develop, seek medical attention as soon as possible. final diagnosis: familial hocm, nyha class iii on multidrug therapy. status post ethanol septal ablation this admission. recommended follow up: the patient is to follow up with dr. on at 1:00 p.m., at the building. he is also to follow up with dr. in two weeks, call for an appointment. also follow up with his physician . within one week. per usual protocol for ablation, repeat echo should be performed in 3 months (lv will undergo continued remodeling of outflow track in this interval). if outflow gradient at rest and with provocation is minimal, tapering of atenolol and/or verapamil may be considered at that time. major surgical and invasive procedures done while in service: status post ethanol septal ablation, status post cardiac catheterization. discharge condition: good, stable. discharge medications: 1. atenolol 50 mg po q day. 2. verapamil 120 mg sr q 24 hours. 3. aspirin 81 mg po q day. ,

history of present illness: this 62-year-old gentleman presented with two week history of epigastric discomfort ruled in for myocardial infarction and had an episode of v-fib that responded to cardioversion. he was transferred into for cardiac catheterization, which showed 80% left anterior descending artery lesion, 40% diagonal lesion, 60% circumflex lesion, om-2 30% lesion, om-3 30% lesion, a 50% right coronary artery lesion with a 30% pda lesion, and an ejection fraction of 27%. on cath lab an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed for his ventricular dysfunction and severe three-vessel disease. he is referred to cardiothoracic surgery service for evaluation of cabg. preoperative laboratory work was white count of 9.3, hematocrit 42.5. sodium 137, k 4.4, chloride 102,

reported a two small purulent nodal areas in his abdomen and his left thigh, non-insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus. he had no known allergies. medications on admission were zocor, cozaar, glyburide, glucophage, and was now on iv integrilin when seen by cardiac surgery. on examination, his blood pressure was 107/64 with a heart rate of 71. he had no carotid bruits. heart was regular, rate, and rhythm. his lungs were clear bilaterally. his abdominal examination was benign. he had no varicose veins and had distal pulses present in his feet. his electrocardiogram showed q waves in v1 through v3 as well as st depressions in v4, v5, and 6, and avl. he will referred to dr. . on , he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting x4 with a lima to the left anterior descending artery, a vein graft to the pda, a vein graft to diagonal-1 and vein graft to om-2, who was transferred to cardiothoracic intensive care unit in stable condition. on postoperative day one, he continued on his perioperative vancomycin and was on the following drips: neo-synephrine at 1 mcg/kg/min, nitroglycerin at 0.25 mcg/kg/min, milrinone at 0.25 mcg/kg/min, and insulin drip for glucose coverage. he was extubated the night of operation and the following morning was in sinus rhythm in the 90s with a blood pressure of 95/43. cardiac index of 2.6 with an intra-aortic balloon pump at 1:1. he remained on

history of present illness: the patient is a 75-year-old woman with a history described in the past medical history, who was admitted to hospital on with left-sided chest pain and ruled out for myocardial infarction. she was found to be in new onset atrial fibrillation. persantine thallium revealed a reversible defect, prompting transfer to for catheterization. however, prior to catheterization, she had chest pain and fell, a mechanical fall resulting in a left intertrochanteric fracture. she had a negative head ct and cervical spine, and then was transferred to . past

gastroesophageal reflux disease 8. intestinal bypass, cholecystectomy, appendectomy and hernia repair 9. fibromyalgia medications on transfer: her medications as an outpatient are atenolol, zoloft, aspirin and tagamet. allergies: sulfa drugs, which cause a rash. social history: she has no tobacco or alcohol use. she lives in . physical examination: at the time of admission, notable for a blood pressure of 112/72, pulse 78, respirations 24, 91% on room air, 97% on 3 liters. in general, she is sleepy, falling asleep during the examination, complained of pain, but in no acute distress. heart was irregularly irregular, no murmurs, no jugular venous distention, no carotid bruits. the lungs are clear to auscultation anteriorly and laterally. the abdomen is soft, obese, with active bowel sounds, nontender. the extremities showed no edema, cool, 2+ pedal pulses bilaterally. neurological examination is alert and oriented x 3. cranial nerves intact. upper extremities 4/4 strength bilaterally. laboratory data: on admission, notable for creatinine of 1.3, normal liver function tests. troponin less than .02 x 3. urinalysis was negative. all of this was at the outside hospital. upon admission to , her ck was 1058 with an mb of 19, presumed secondary to the fall, and her bun and creatinine had increased to 36 and 2.6 respectively. phos was 7.0. hip x-ray revealed a left hip intertrochanteric fracture with varus deformity, superior displacement of the distal fragment, no evidence of dislocation. persantine thallium revealed an ejection fraction of 48% with an ischemic inferoapical wall and anteroapical fixed abnormality, hypokinesis of the apex and lateral wall and inferoapical wall. chest x-ray revealed moderate cardiomegaly, no pneumonia or congestive heart failure. hospital course by system: 1. neurology: the patient had mental status changes after extubation, was able to only answer a few questions, however, this improved as her sodium decreased back down to a normal range. it may also have been related to benzodiazepines or medications that she had at the time of intubation, which were washed out of her system. at the time of discharge, she is alert and oriented x 3. the patient also had two head ct studies which did not show any evidence of acute focal processes. 2. heart: she was in atrial fibrillation rhythm. it is unclear when that originally occurred. she remained on telemetry for her hospital course, and she was not taking oral medications. she was taking metoprolol intravenously to keep her pulse and blood pressure stable. she became hypertensive and tachycardic in the 130s to 140s at times. once she was able to pass her swallowing evaluation, she was restarted on lopressor and then switched to atenolol at discharge. possible cardioversion was discussed, possibly as an outpatient. the cardiac catheterization was done and revealed minimal coronary artery disease. therefore, the chest pain was believed not to be secondary to cardiac ischemia. 3. pulmonary: the patient was intubated at the time of surgery for the left hip repair, and was weaned in the surgical intensive care unit after surgery. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient was kept nothing by mouth until her mental status had cleared. she had failed two swallowing studies because of lack of cooperation, however, she was finally able to pass a swallowing study on the , and was restarted on oral intake and oral medications. she received zantac throughout her hospital course intravenously. 5. endocrine: her sugars were well controlled for the most part on regular insulin sliding scale. 6. renal: creatinine and bun improved during the hospital course. discharge plan: to transfer the patient on the following medications: coumadin 5 mg by mouth daily at bedtime to be adjusted for an inr of 2 to 3, vitamin b12 1000 mcg intramuscularly or subcutaneously weekly for three weeks then monthly, heparin intravenously until the coumadin is therapeutic, protonix 40 mg by mouth once daily, atenolol 100 mg by mouth once daily. she will have physical therapy and be on a cardiac diet. discharge diagnosis: 1. left hip fracture 2.

history of present illness: the patient is a 52-year-old man with diabetes type 1, for 40 years, complicated by retinopathy with blindness, status post living donor kidney transplant in , status post bilateral bkas with recent stump revision on , with prior known .............. from catheterization in , who presented with chest pain on , from admitted for unstable angina, as well as right stump cellulitis. the patient was treated with ancef and cipro per infectious disease recommendations for the cellulitis. he was kept on intravenous heparin, aspirin, nitroglycerin drip, beta-blocker over the weekend for unstable angina without further chest pain or shortness of breath, awaiting prior catheterization data which had reportedly shown unintervenable ........... per the patient. his primary cardiologist is dr. . laboratory showed a troponin on admission of 0.8 which increased to 16.8 with negative cks but positive mb fraction. on the morning of , the patient had sudden shortness of breath, diaphoresis, nausea and vomiting. he was found to be hypoxic with an oxygen saturation in the 60s, on 100% non-rebreather, systolic blood pressure 150-160, heart rate 80-90s. his electrocardiogram showed hyperacute t-wave anteriorly, st depressions in v2-v4, and chest x-ray was consistent with failure. the patient was given lasix 40 iv x 1, with 500 cc urine output. he was given 1 amp of calcium gluconate and was started on intravenous nitroglycerin with improvement in his electrocardiogram changes. abg was done which showed ph of 7.18, pco2 73, po2 46. the patient was intubated on the floor emergently. the decision was made to take him to cardiac catheterization for acute coronary event. bedside echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of less than 20-25%, inferior akinesis, and anterolateral hypokinesis. in the catheterization lab, his coronaries were diffusely diseased. the patient had been previously turned down for a coronary artery bypass grafting, but ct surgery was reconsulted and again did not feel that he would be a good operative candidate. .................. requested a second ct surgery opinion which was prior to recathaterization to attempt lad intervention. this was obtained, and again several ct surgeons did not feel that he would be a good operative candidate secondary to high risk, lack of good touchdown, and lack of vein grafts secondary to his previous surgeries. otherwise in the ccu, the patient was diuresed and extubated on , without complication. his creatinine was slightly increased with this event. his captopril was temporarily discontinued, and diuresis was continued. he was on continued antibiotics for stump cellulitis. laboratory data: his initial lab data at the time of transfer back to the service on , showed a white count which was 19.1, hematocrit 30.0, platelet count 466,000; inr 1.1, ptt 58.0; sodium 128, potassium 4.3, chloride 93, bicarb 23, bun 78, creatinine 1.8, glucose 255, ck 45, calcium 8.5, magnesium 2.2, phosphorus 4.2; cyclosporin level was normal at 151. cardiac catheterization showed ra pressure of 9, rv was 40/10, ra 40/21, wedge pressure 21, ser 1390, cardiac index of 3.0. he had 100% proximal rca lesion, normal pda, left main was normal, mid lad had a tubular 90% lesion, distal lad 40% lesion, d1 70%, d2 99%, om1 70%. echocardiogram showed a ................. asd with left-to-right shunt seen, left ventricular size and thickness normal. there were multiple areas of akinesis and hypokinesis. there was a hypertrophied right ventricular free wall with normal right ventricular function. there was a small amount of mitral regurgitation, small to moderate pericardial effusion, and a right pleural effusion noted. medications on transfer: cyclosporin 100 mg b.i.d., neurontin 100 mg t.i.d., lipitor 20 mg q.d., fentanyl patch 25 q.72, sliding scale insulin, cefazolin iv, cipro 500 q.d., mucomyst 600 b.i.d., colace 100 b.i.d., lasix 80 p.o. b.i.d., lopressor 75 mg p.o. b.i.d., prednisone taper, zantac, enteric coated aspirin q.d., nph 4 u subcue at 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. allergies: no known drug allergies. past medical history: as above. he is also with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, status post bilaterally bkas, chronic angina, legally blind since . social history: the patient is married. his wife is also blind. he has two daughters. was recently in the nursing home. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular issues: he was turned down for coronary artery bypass grafting. he was taken for re-catheterization on , and he had ptca stent placement to lad. in addition to his other cardiac medications, heparin was discontinued, and he was started on plavix x 1 month. he was continued on aspirin, beta-blocker, lipitor, lasix, and his ace inhibitor was restarted prior to discharge given his normal renal function. 2. pulmonary: he was able to be weaned off his oxygen with good room air saturations and was continued on ............... 6 b.i.d. without p.r.n. doses needed. 3. renal insufficiency: the patient had resolving bun and creatinine with a creatinine of 1.1 on discharge. he did well continuing on his cyclosporin for status post renal transplant. 4. from a vascular and infectious disease standpoint concerning his most pressing issue currently, he is continued on antibiotics for stump cellulitis. an infectious disease consult was requested, as the area of cellulitis spread with dry gangrene setting in. they did not feel that he was septic or toxic and that this most likely represented stump failure. vascular was consulted, and they too agreed that this was most likely not primarily an infectious process but represented a failure of the stump revision. this was discussed at length with the patient who wished to pursue further surgery at where he had been with the same surgeon for 20 years. we discussed this with the covering surgeon who agreed to accept him for evaluation. his need for surgery will have to be balanced against his recent cardiac catheterization, as he would be at very, very high risk for reclosure of his lad stent if his aspirin or plavix were to be discontinued at all, and cardiology recommended strongly that the aspirin nor plavix should be held for even a day or two given his high risk and the very narrow caliber of the lad stent. discharge medications: ................ t.i.d., captopril 12.5 t.i.d., hydralazine 10 mg p.o. q.i.d., tylenol 650 mg p.o. q.4 hours p.r.n., aspirin 325 p.o. q.d., plavix 75 mg p.o. q.d. x 30 days, insulin nph 14 u q.a.m. and 10 u q.p.m., cyclosporin 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., neurontin 100 mg p.o. t.i.d., lipitor 20 mg p.o. q.d., fentanyl patch 25 mg q.72 hours, sliding scale insulin, cefazolin 1 g q.12 iv, lopressor 75 mg p.o. b.i.d., lasix 80 mg p.o. q.d., prednisone taper which is now down to 10 mg p.o. q.d. which is his baseline dose status post kidney transplant, colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., cipro 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. follow-up: the patient should follow-up with his primary cardiologist dr. in one month. he will be evaluated at the hospital for possible aka. cardiology recommended that the surgery be done emergently as our vascular surgeons feel that it should be postponed for two weeks to one month until the plavix can be discontinued, as it is imperative that the aspirin and plavix not be stopped even for an operation, as he at high risk for stent reclosure. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive
