Service:
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 7262**] is a 42-year-old HIV,
hepatitis C positive man currently under evaluation for liver
transplantation in [**Location (un) 19061**] for liver failure. Over the
past four months or so he has noted some exertional chest
discomfort. He describes this as a pressure sensation that
occurs in his mid chest when walking quickly or going up any
incline. This is occasionally associated with dizziness,
shortness of breath and diaphoresis, resolving quickly with
rest. He has never taken any Nitroglycerin. He was also
having significant dyspnea on exertion at the time of
admission. A Persantine stress test on [**2177-6-24**] was notable
for ischemia in the distribution of the right coronary artery
with a normal ejection fraction at 67%. The patient denies
claudication, orthopnea, PND or lightheadedness. He does
state that he has intermittent lower extremity edema, and he
also states that he has ascites.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient was afebrile with stable
vital signs upon presentation to the hospital. Neck, no JVD,
2+ carotid pulses without bruits. Heart, normal S1 and S2,
regular rate and rhythm, grade 2/6 systolic ejection murmur
at the right upper sternal border. Lungs, clear to
auscultation bilaterally. Abdomen, soft, distended,
nontender, normoactive bowel sounds. Extremities, trace
ankle edema bilaterally.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was therefore admitted to [**Hospital1 1444**] on [**7-24**] for an elective
coronary catheterization during which time a stent was placed
in the right coronary artery. As per standard
catheterization protocol, the patient received 2,000 units of
Heparin during the procedure. He was also placed on Aspirin
and Plavix following the procedure in order to maintain
patency of the new stent. On [**2177-7-25**] (the first day
following the procedure), the patient developed hematemesis.
It should be noted that the patient has a baseline
coagulopathy; in addition the patient has had periods of
hematemesis in the past and has a known past medical history
significant for esophageal varices which have been banded.
An EGD was done at this time, and it revealed [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **]
tear at the GE junction. Ulcers in the antrum, varices at
the lower third of the esophagus and an otherwise normal EGD
to the third part of the duodenum. Subsequent to this, the
patient was taken off of Aspirin and Plavix due to the risk
of repeated bleeds and was transfused with two units of
packed red cells as well as FFP and platelets. Subsequent to
this, his hematocrit stabilized and the patient was
clinically stable. On the day prior to discharge the patient
did experience some right upper quadrant pain; as a result an
abdominal ultrasound was performed which was negative. In
addition, a KUB was done which was negative and an EKG was
done which showed no change from prior studies. The
patient's hematocrit remained stable and he was therefore
discharged to home on [**2177-7-29**].
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Human immunodeficiency virus.
2. Hepatitis C virus with cirrhosis.
3. Esophageal varices.
4. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] tear.
5. Multiple ulcers of the gastric antrum.
6. Ascites.
7. Upper GI bleed while in the hospital.
8. Prior history of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
9. Coronary disease, now status post stenting of the right
coronary artery.

aggressively fluid resuscitated. Norepinephrine drip was
required to maintain blood pressure in adequate range. Urine
culture was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the patient
also had stool positive for C. diff toxin. Vancomyin was
discontinued after osteomyelitis was ruled out as a possible
infection in this patient. The patient's blood pressure was
stable and the norepinephrine drip was discontinued. She was

CXR [**11-2**]: A left internal jugular vascular catheter remains in
satisfactory position. The cardiac silhouette is enlarged but
stable. There is some degree of respiratory motion present,
resulting in blurring of the pulmonary vasculature. This limits
assessment for mild congestive heart failure. Bilateral pleural
effusions are present and are partially layering on this
semi-erect study. Increased opacity persists in the left
retrocardiac region.
AXR [**11-2**]: Gas present in colon. No abnormalities.
Brief Hospital Course:
84 yo F presented with sepsis, transfered to ICU on arrival. In
the ICU, a sepsis protocol was initiated. Coverage of multiple
possible sources was begun with vancomycin, levofloxacin, and
metronidazole. She was aggressively fluid resuscitated. A
norepinephrine drip was required to maintain blood pressure in
adequate range. Urine culture was positive for Klebsiella
pneumoniae, and the patient also had stool positive for C. diff
toxin. Vancomyin was discontinued after osteomyelitis was ruled
out as a possible infection in this patient. The patient's
blood pressure was stable and the norepinephrine drip was
discontinued. She was transferred to 12R on the am of [**2179-10-26**].
On arrival to the floor her temp was 100, hr 90-110, bp 100/60.
1) ID: On the floors she completed 14 day courses of both
flagyl and meropenem, and remained afebrile and hemodynamically
stable throughout the remainder of her hospital course.
2) Leg Ulcers: The patient was seen by vascular surgery who
felt that her ulcers were a combination of venous stasis and
pressure ulcers. ABIs were not done as it would cause the
patient too much pain, and the patient was not felt to be a
surgical candidate regardless in light of her condition and
comorbidities. Her dressings were changed once a day, however
this was causing her extreme pain, despite morphine and ativan
premedication, and dressing changes were decreased to every
three days, and then not at all. She should not have any
further dressing changes, as the pain is excrutiating for her.
3) Anasarca/fluid balance/hypernatremia: Ms. [**Known lastname 97599**] was
found to be intravascularly depleted (high sodium), but total
body fluid overloaded. We attempted diuresis, but this only
elevated her sodium. We therefore fluid resuscitated her to
lower her sodium, and then began diuresis once her hypernatremia
had resolved. We had hoped that her fluid balance would improve
with initiation of TPN to raise her albumin, however, after a
week of TPN, her albumin continues to decrease, and she is not
eating anything. Her anasarca persists. She will get
maintenance IVF at [**Hospital3 2558**] with D5, in the absence of
other forms of nutrition.
4) Nutrition: TPN was initiated through her central line on
[**10-29**]. Her albumin was 2.6 on [**10-21**], declining to 1.9 on [**11-3**].
She occasionally ate spoonfulls of pudding, however largely
refused food and PO medications.
5) Anemia: The patient had a baseline hct ranging from 35-43
prior to admission, while declined to 29-31 for much of her
stay. Her iron studies indicated anemia of chronic disease, and
her stool was guaiac negative. She did not receive any
transfusions.
6) Hypothyroidism: Ms. [**Known lastname 95808**] was profoundly hypothyroid, with
a TSH of 8 on admission, increasing to 16 and then 30 at
discharge despite increasing her thyroxine dose (it takes [**6-22**]
weeks for the new dose to take effect, however the TSH should
not continue to rise to such an extent).
7) Pain: Ms. [**Known lastname 95808**] [**Last Name (Titles) 97600**] anytime she was touched. She
persistenly denied pain, only admitting to pain during her
dressing changes. Despite this, she [**Last Name (Titles) 97600**] anytime anyone
touched her. We decreased the frequency of her dressing changes
secondary to her extreme pain, and used morphine concentrated
solution 4 mg Q 4 hours for pain. She should be given tylenol
1000 mg PR Q 6 hours as needed for pain, as well as morphine
concentrated solution 5 mg Q 4 hours around the clock.
8) Atrial fibrillation: Her a-fib was poorly controlled with
digoxin in the unit, and not responsive to amiodarone. On the
floors her rate was well-controlled in the 60s, though her pulse
was irregularly irregular. She was therefore maintained on
digoxin and coumadin for anticoagulation. Her coumadin was
maintained at 1 mg qhs and INR was therapeutic for the most
part.
9) Mental status: The patient had waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**] mental
status, but mostly was delirious. She leaned to the right side,
with R lateral gaze preference. A head CT was performed due to
concern for stroke, and was negative for any acute intracranial
process.
10) Code status: She was DNR/DNI during the hospitalization.
During a family meeting with her long-time boyfriend [**Name (NI) **], for
whom she cares a lot, and who cares for her, on her last day of
hospitalization it was decided that in light of her failure to
demonstrate any improvement, persistent refusal to eat and
worsening albumin in spite of TPN, along with continued extreme
pain and incredibly poor prognosis, the best thing for her would
be comfort care only. She should be given pain medications,
with PRN zyprexa for aggitation for the next 3 weeks. Her
boyfriend, [**Name (NI) **], would like her to receive fluids for the time
being, in order to try to buy her a little bit more time to see
if she will eat. It has been explained that this may only
prolong her life for a little while, and he will consider
stopping the fluids in the future. She will get maintenance
fluids through her central line, which can be flushed with
heparin to keep it patent.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2736**]
Chief Complaint:
transferred from OSH for pericardial effusion found on
echocardiogram
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Pericardiocentesis
History of Present Illness:
82 [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 76663**] RN with hx of non-hodgkins lymphoma (dx in [**2122**])
thought to be in remission s/p XRT, atrial fibrillation on
coumadin, labile HTN, hyperlipidemia, and anxiety who initially
presented to [**Hospital3 3583**] on [**12-14**] with 2 day history of
shortness of breath.
She says that she felt well when she developed gradual onset of
shortness of breath which was worse with exertion and lying
flat. Denies any chest pain or palpitations. She normally
receives her care at [**Hospital6 **] but asked her son to
drive her to [**Name (NI) 26580**]. Of note, she has a history of pericardial
effusion found on Echo performed in [**Month (only) **] of this year as a
prelude to a cardiac stress test. At that time her cardiologist
referred her to oncology. Patient says her oncologist was
absolutely certain that this effusion was not a result of her
NHL. She says she did not receive any more work-up at that
time.
.
At [**Last Name (un) 26580**], she had a repeat ECHO which showed a large
pericardial effusion measuring 4cm posteriorly and 3cm
anteriorly. Her vital signs remained stable (124/70's and a HR
60-90's afib) and she was transferred for pericardiocentesis and
further work-up of the effusion. Given her elevated INR (4.1)
she received 10mg of SQ Vit K as well as a repeat Echo prior to
transfer.
.
The transfer note also reports that patient was ordered for a
unit of blood prior to transfer for a HCT drop from 29 --> 26,
but that she did not receive it prior to transfer. Patient
denies any BRBPR, or other abnormal bleeding. She had a
colonoscopy this year and had a polyp excised, but it was
otherwise normal.
On review of systems, she does have a history of myalgias and
joint pains (chronic, has hx of OA), black stools in the setting
of iron supplementation, mild cough (non-productive), and
syncope, last episode in [**2123**]. She also recently has some R leg
swelling for which she had an U/S performed but she does not
know the results. The swelling has since resolved.
.
She denies any prior history of stroke, TIA, deep venous
thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery,
hemoptysis, red stools. She denies recent fevers, chills or
rigors. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the
other review of systems were negative.
.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain,
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema,
palpitations, recent syncope or presyncope.

TTE [**12-17**]:
Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic
function are normal (LVEF>55%). The aortic valve leaflets (3)
are mildly thickened. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is a small pericardial effusion measuring 0.9cm
around the inferior and inferolateral left ventricle with
minimal effusion around the apex and anterior right ventricle. A
catheter is seen in the pericardial space.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2128-12-16**],
the pericardial effusion is much smaller and tamponade
physiology is no longer suggested.
TTE [**12-16**]:
The left atrium is dilated. The right atrium is dilated. The
right atrial pressure is indeterminate. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is
unusually small. Overall left ventricular systolic function is
normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The right ventricular cavity is mildly
dilated. Right ventricular systolic function is normal. The
aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild to moderate ([**12-23**]+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There
is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
large pericardial effusion. Stranding is visualized within the
pericardial space c/w organization. There is brief right atrial
diastolic collapse. Echocardiographic signs of tamponade may be
absent in the presence of elevated right sided pressures.
Cath [**12-17**]:
1. Pericardiocentesis was performed with needle entry from the
subxiphoid position. 1100cc of bloody fluid was removed and
sent for
studies.
2. Pulsis paradoxus is difficult to assess due to atrial
fibrillation.
3. Right heart catheterization prior to pericardiocentesis
shows
elevated and equalized diastolic pressure which were equal to
the
pericardial pressure (for details see above). Subsequent to
removal of
1100cc of pericardial fluid, pericardial pressure decreased to
1mmHg.
Left ventricular filling pressure remains elevated and unchanged
with
(22mmHg) greater than RVEDP (14mmHg) suggesting underlying
diastolic
dysfunction. Given bifid RA waveform, there maybe a component of
constrictive physiology.
4. Pulmonary hypertension with PA systolic pressure of 49mmHg
prior to
pericardiocentesis and 56mmHg after pericardiocentesis.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Coronary arteries are normal.
2. Severe diastolic ventricular dysfunction.
3. pericardial tamponade.
4. possible co-existing constrictive physiology.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is an 82 [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 76663**] RN with hx of non-hodgkins
lymphoma, atrial fibrillation on coumadin, labile HTN,
hyperlipidemia, and anxiety who is transferred from [**Hospital 26580**]
Hospital for pericardiocentesis of symptomatic pericardial
effusion of unknown etiology.
.
#. pericardial effusion: Hemodynamically stable on admission.
However on the evening of [**12-16**], she was hypotensive transiently
to 90s after being given labetalol. SBP back up to 110s
following fluid bolus of 500cc. Pulsus increased from 6 to 12
overnight. However, due to INR of 4.1 at OSH,
pericardiocentesis held until [**2128-12-17**]. At the OSH she had an
INR of 4.1 was given 10 mg sq vitamin k. Here she was given 10
mg po vit K x 2. Her INR was 1.8 when she was sent to the cath
lab for pericardiocentesis with 1 unit of FFP to be given in the
holding area.
.
Underwent pericardiocentesis with drainage of 1100cc of bloody
fluid with resolution of tamponade. Residual 0.9mm effusion
noted on post-procedure ECHO. Pulsus [**7-29**]. Drain in place
overnight with minimal output. Pulled day post procedure. Pulsus
followed for worsening and was stable. Patient discharged to
home shortness of breath resolved.
.
#. Rhythm: Has atrial fibrillation, on coumadin, digoxin and
labetalol at home. Reversed coumadin and labetalol initially
held for hypotension. Restarted labetalol day after procedure.

History of Present Illness:
68 year old male admitted to Caritas [**Hospital3 **] ED with
complaint of chest pain and shortness of breath, where he was
intubated and underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization and
is transferred here for management of his coronary artery
disease. Per records, patient complained to his wife chest
discomfort at 4:45 AM and drove himself to the emergency room.
Chest pain was described as [**9-24**] non-pleuratic substernal
discomfort radiating into left shoulder and arm and associated
with shortness of breath. He received aspirin and sublingual
nitroglycerin PO in the ED initially. He was noted to be
progressivel dyspneic and then required furosemide 20mg IV,
morphine 4mg IV and initiation of nitroglycerin gtt, and
metoprolol 5mg IV x 3, and was subsequently intubated due to
dyspnea. Initial ECG showed sinus tachycardia at 115 with LBBB
and no prior for comparison. TnI was 1.04 (normal 0.00-0.49)
with CPK 182 and MB of 15.2. He initially went to the ICU, where
he received clopidogrel 500mg x 1, and started on heparin gtt
with 4500 unit bolus. He was transferred to cardiac
catheterization laboratory and underwent left and right heart
catheterization showing RCA and LCx occlusion, 50% LMCA lesion,
and 90% pLAD stenoses with elevated left-sided filling
pressures. He was transferred on heparin gtt to [**Hospital1 18**] for
further management. Of note, patient was also ordered for
empiric Vancomycin and ceftriaxone and had already received
ceftriaxone prior to transfer.
.
On arrival to CCU, patient was intubated, but awake, alert, and
in NAD. JVP was 10cm and chest x-ray did not demonstrate
pulmonary oedema. Patient was extubated without event. Initial
laboratory evaluation showed markedly elevated CPK and patient
was started on eptifibatide in addition to heparin. Cardiac
surgery is now evaluating for surgical resvascularization.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 81180**] was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2164-4-1**] for further
management of his myocardial infarction and coronary artery
disease. As his enzymes were trending downward, integrillin was
stopped. He was worked up by the cardiac surgical service in
preparation for revascularization. A carotid duplex ultrasound
was obtained which revealed only mild bilateral internal carotid
artery disease. Pulmonary function testing was performed given
his heavy smoking history. His forced expiratory volume in the
first second was diminished at 2.73L or 68% predicted. A dental
consult was obtained in anticipation of surgically addressing
his mitral regurgitation. After a panorex was obtained, Mr.
[**Known lastname 81180**] was cleared for surgery from an oral standpoint. On
[**2164-4-6**], Mr. [**Known lastname 81180**] was taken to the operating where he
underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to four vessels.
Please see operative note for details. Postoperatively he was
taken to the intensive care unit for monitoring. By POD 1, the
patient was extubated, alert and oriented and breathing
comfortably. He was neurologically intact and hemodynamically
stable, off all vasoactive drips. Chest tubes and pacing wires
were discontinued without complication. The physical therapy
service was consulted for strength and mobility. The patient
was transferred to the telemetry floor on POD 3. His blood
sugars were well controlled on his home dose of metformin 1000mg
two times per day. By post-operative day five he was ready for
discharge to home with continued lasix.

present in both eyes, palate intact, poor suck. The lungs
were clear to auscultation and equal, regular rate and rhythm
without murmur. There were 2 plus femoral pulses. The
abdomen was soft, flat, with bowel sounds, normal male
genitalia with testes descended bilaterally, patent anus, no
sacral anomalies, hips stable, extremities pink and well

Ms. [**Known lastname 75806**] is an 81 y/o F with a history of dCHF (EF 50-65%
in [**2133**]), afib, and chronic blood loss from GAVE syndrome who
presented today for elective EGD under MAC anesthesia. Per
endoscopy report, the findings were consistent with known
diagnosis of nodular gastric antral vascular ectasia. Mild
sponaneous oozing was noted. Band ligation was performed for
homeostasis. After the procedure the patient was complaining of
shortness of breath. She reports that she has been chronically
short of breath for 11 years, however she does not require any
oxygen at home. Of note the patient had not taken her lasix the
morning of the procedure and received 800cc of lactated ringers
during the endoscopy. She denies chest pain, cough, wheeze, or
leg pain. No known history of COPD or asthma. She reports that
her bilateral leg swelling is no worse than baseline (documented
to be 3+ edema in recent PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 626**]).
.
On arrival to the medicine floor she was desatting to the low
80s on nasal cannula and was placed on 5liter facemask. Her
blood pressures were in the 90s systolic which is slightly below
baseline according to outpatient records of 100s-110s systolic.
Heart rates 90s in afib. Diuresis was not initiated on the floor
because of concern for low blood pressures. The patient was
therefore transfered to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for further management. VS
prior to transfer were 87/57 87 20 99% on 5liter facemask. EKG
showed Atrial fibrillation with rate of 96, NA/NI no majors
change compared to prior.
.
On arrival to the ICU, patient denies any chest pain. She
reports shortness of breath is improved while wearing the
oxygen.
.

Pertinent Results:
.
[**Location (un) **] hosp records:
- Echo [**2130**]: EF 60%, RV enlarged with preserved systolic
function, biatrial enlargement, mild AS with valve area 2.2,
moderate MR, severe TR, mildly elevated pulm artery systolic
pressure 29 plus estimated right atrial pressure.
-On [**10/2136**] admitted to [**Hospital **] hosp seen for SOB and pedal
edema, given lasix diuresed from weight 73->70 Kg . On initial
presentation during that admission, she was satting 96% on 2L.
BP 125/65. HR 48.Cr 1.4, D-dimer 0.4. They transfused her 1 U
PRBC on [**11-12**], discharge HCT 31. Sent out on lasix 40mg PO
daily. (of note, in past: Was on amiodarone 200mg daily in
[**2130**].)
.
[**Hospital1 18**] REPORTS/LABS-
[**12-20**] EKG-
Atrial fibrillation. Low voltage throughout. Non-specific T wave
abnormality in the lateral leads. Abnormal tracing. No previous
tracing available for comparison.
.
CXR [**12-20**]:
FINDINGS: Cardiac silhouette is enlarged. Prominence of right
cardiac border could reflect enlarged right-sided cardiac
[**Doctor Last Name 1754**] or adjacent pericardial abnormality such as a
pericardial cyst or prominent fat pad. Attention to this on
standard PA and lateral chest radiograph is recommended when the
patient's condition permits. No focal areas of consolidation are
present within the lungs. Questionable small pleural effusions,
which could also be more fully address by standard PA and
lateral chest radiographs.
.
EKG [**12-21**]:
Atrial fibrillation. Low voltage throughout. Abnormal tracing.
Compared to the previous tracing ST segment abnormalities are
resolved.
TRACING #2
.
ECHO [**Hospital1 18**] [**2136-12-20**]
The left atrium is moderately dilated. The right atrium is
markedly dilated. A patent foramen ovale is present. There is
mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity
size and regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). The right
ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with mild global free
wall hypokinesis. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral
valve prolapse. An eccentric jet of moderate to severe (3+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. Severe [4+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen.
There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. [In the
setting of at least moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation,
the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure may be
underestimated due to a very high right atrial pressure.] There
is no pericardial effusion.
.
IMPRESSION: Moderately dilated right ventricle with mild
systolic dysfunction. Normal global and regional left
ventricular systolic function. Severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. At least mild pulmonary
hypertension.
.
CXR [**2136-12-20**]:
IMPRESSION: No acute intrathoracic process.
.
[**12-21**] LENI:
IMPRESSION: No evidence of DVT in the right or left lower
extremities.
.
VQ SCAN [**2136-12-21**]
INTERPRETATION:
Ventilation images obtained with Tc-[**Age over 90 **]m aerosol in 8 views
demonstrate some accumulation of tracer in the large airways.
Matched defects in the right lung base, is likely due to pleural
effusion.
Perfusion images in the same 8 views show >2 mismatched
segmental defects in the right upper lobe and superior segment
of the right lower lobe.
Chest x-ray shows a small right pleural effusion and
cardiomegaly.
The above findings are consistent with a high likelihood ratio
for pulmonary embolism.
IMPRESSION: High likelihood ratio of pulmonary embolism in the
right upper lobe.
.
Renal u/s [**12-22**]:
1. Limited study showing no evidence of hydronephrosis and no
direct evidence of venous clot.
2. Suggested reversal of diastaolic flow in the left renal
artery. The
significance of this is unclear given the limitations noted, and
may be
related to a high-resistance system including acute tubular
necrosis, or might be artifactual. If vascular thrombus is still
of concern, noncontrast MRV of the renal veins may be of use to
confirm patency.
3. Small bilateral kidneys, consistent with chronic medical
renal disease.
.
EKG [**12-22**]-
Significant baseline artifact precludes an accurate
interpretation of the
rhythm. No clear P waves are seen suggesting possible atrial
fibrillation. Poor R wave progression in leads V1-V3 of unclear
significance. No other interpretation is possible based on this
tracing. Compared to the previous tracing of [**2136-12-20**] atrial
fibrillation is likely still present.
.
EKG [**12-22**]:
FINDINGS: Since [**2136-12-20**], mild right pleural effusion
and mild to
moderate right basilar atelectasis is worse. Mildly enlarged
heart size is
stable and a suspicion for pericardial effusion was raised.
Findings were
discussed with Dr.[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] who mentioned regarding recent
echocardiogrpaphy which revealed sever cardiomegaly secondary to
multivalvular involvement, but no pericardial effusion. Aorta is
generally larger, however, there is no evidence of a focal
aneurysm. There is no evidence of pulmonary edema.
.
CXR [**2136-12-25**]:
FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of [**12-22**], there is
further
accumulation of fluid within the right pleural space with
compressive
atelectasis. The upper right lung and the entire left lung are
clear with no evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion

Brief Hospital Course:
81 y/o female with a history of chronic diastolic CHF (EF 50-65%
in [**2133**]), atrial fibrillation, not on Coumadin, and chronic
blood loss anemia from gasric antral vascular ectasias admitted
with hypoxemia following endoscopic banding of her gastric AVMs.
#Hypoxemia/Acute vs. chronic pulmonary embolism/Chronic
diastolic heart failure with secondary pulmonary hypertension:
Etiology of acute onset worsening hypoxemia on admission was
initially not obvious. Physical exam was consistent with volume
overload but exam was complicated by tricuspid regurgitation and
v-waves to the jaw. Aspiration was considered but absence of
significant lung pathology on exam or chest X-ray made this less
likely. A V/Q scan was performed and was read as having high
probability for PE in the right upper lobe. Additionally, an
echocardiogram was notable for preserved EF, but with mod-severe
mitral regurgitation, right ventricular dilatation and reduced
systolic function with severe tricuspid regurgitation and the
presence of a PFO (No valsalva or agitated saline contrast
maneuvers were performed). These echo findings were similar to
echo in [**2130**].
.
Given her multiple contraindications for anticoagulation,
including history of requiring blood transfusions every 10 days
for her gastric AVMs transfusion dependance and recurrent GI
bleeds, anticoagulation was not pursued. Additionally, bilateral
lower extremity ultrasounds were negative for DVT, so an IVC
filter was not placed. Despite lack of intervention, the patient
improved slowly with reduced oxygen requirement with
re-initiation of diuretic regimen.
The risks and benefits of anticoagulation and the current
clinical dilemma were discussed with the patient and the
patient's PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**2136-12-25**] and pt's son [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 75806**] on [**2136-12-25**].
In addition, pt was given 1 unit of PRBCs during admission.
However, should the patient get to a place where she may only
require monthly transfusion or should she develop chest pain,
hypotension, tachycardia, increasing hypoxia, etc, the
risk/benefit ratio of anticoagulation for PE may change to favor
anticoagulation. In addition, the patient also did not show
signs of a hemodynamically significant PE. She did have periods
of relative hypotension during times of afib with RVR. Pt
carries a diagnosis of afib prior to admission and her BP was
improved predictably with better HR control. In addition, there
was question of the acute vs. chronic PE. The echo findings
appear to be present in [**2130**] and could be explained by her
valvular disease. Pt had sats of ~94-96% on RA, ambulatory sats
92-93% on RA. However, pt did experience occasional noctural
hypoxia to 84% on RA and was therefore sent home with home
oxygen at 1-2L nightly for now. Troponins 0.02 x3, BNP ~4000
during admission. Oxygenation much improved during admission.
VNA can also help with monitoring for hypoxia. Pt has a
scheduled appointment with her cardiologist and PCP after DC to
continue this discussion. Can discuss whether patient may
benefit from an IVC filter in the future.
# Atrial Fibrillation: Not on coumadin or aspirin due to chronic
GI bleeding. The patient is on rate control with atenolol at
home (25mg TID?). She was restarted on metoprolol given her
renal failure and CKD and this was uptitrated to 25mg TID by day
of discharge. Pt tolerated this well and seemed to have better
BP's with appropriate rate control. BP range 90's-110's during
admission. She did have periods of afib with RVR prior to
uptitration of meds. She was discharged with VNA for
cardiopulmonary monitoring.
.
#Chronic blood loss anemia/Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia
[GAVE] s/p banding on the day of admission: She requires
transfusion ~every 2 weeks at the present time. Work up to date
has included multiple EGDs with argon plasma coagulation which
has been unsuccessful thus far and therefore patient had
scheduled EGD on admission for banding. The patient did have
drop in her hematocrit during her admission and was transfused 1
unit PRBCs. A repeat EGD with banding was recommended in 1 month
follow-up with GI. HCT on discharge was 28. She was instructed
to have repeat HCT at PCP follow up.
.
#Chronic diastolic heart failure: continued outpt regimen of
lasix, BB
.
# LE edema: She reports chronic worsening bilateral LE edema
over the last 5-6 weeks. LENIs were negative for PE. Pt was
continued on lasix therapy
.
#Hypertension: Home anti-hypertensives were initially held upon
admission and then restarted. She was discharged on metoprolol
25mg TID
.
# Hyperlipidemia: She was continued on home simvastatin.
.
# Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Home oral medications including
glipizide were held on admission. She was treated with an
insulin sliding scale. She was instructed to resume glipizide
upon discharge.
.
# Hypothyroidism: She was continued on levothyroxine.
.
#Acute-on-Chronic renal failure, stage II-III: Her renal
function on admission was 1.6 and rose to 1.8, but improved
during admission. Cr on discharge was 1.1. Pt should also have
repeat Cr at PCP f/u to ensure continued improvement.
.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
Code: DNR/I
Follow-up: Repeat EGD and banding with GI in 1 month
Should have PCP and Cardiology follow up given chronic diastolic
heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and now PE with minimal
therapeutic options. Should discuss whether there may be benefit
to IVC filter in the future.

Discharge Instructions:
You were initially admitted to the hospital after an elective
endoscopic banding procedure for the abnormal blood vessels in
your stomach causing gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic
anemia. After the procedure, you were noted to have low blood
pressure and low oxygen levels, due most likely to a combination
of an aspiration event(inhaling some of your mouth secretions)
and also to a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) in the lungs.
However, after discussion with the GI specialists, given the
risk of bleeding, especially in the GI tract, we have decided
not to put you on blood thinning medication for the lung clot.
You initially required a significant amount of oxygen, however,
your oxygen levels improved and you will only need oxygen at
night time for now. You will be continuing this discussion with
your PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and cardiologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] after discharge.
.
Also, your kidney function was slightly impaired during
admission. This improved, but should be followed up after
discharge.
.
Medication changes:
1.your atenolol was changed to metoprolol given your kidney
function. Your discharge dose will be 25mg of metoprolol three
times a day.
Stop taking atenolol.

Unit No: [**Numeric Identifier 75482**]
Admission Date: [**2199-12-4**]
Discharge Date: [**2199-12-5**]
Date of Birth: [**2199-12-4**]
Sex: M
Service: NEONATOLOGY
IDENTIFICATION: Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname 75483**] is a 1-day-old former 32-6/7
week infant who expired this afternoon in the [**Hospital1 18**] NICU
secondary to cardiopulmonary failure from severe pulmonary
hypoplasia.
HISTORY: Baby [**Name (NI) **] [**Known lastname 75483**] was born on [**2199-12-4**] at 8:56 p.m.
as the 2175 gram product of a 32-6/7 week gestation pregnancy
to a 30-year-old gravida 1, para 0 mother with estimated date
of delivery of [**2199-1-24**]. Prenatal laboratory studies
included blood type B+, antibody negative, RPR nonreactive,
rubella immune, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, and
group B strep unknown. The pregnancy was complicated with the
development of severe bilateral hydronephrosis, presumed
bladder outlet obstruction and progressive oligohydramnios
beginning at approximately 19 week' gestation. The mother was
followed closely by the [**Hospital **] Care Center at [**Hospital3 18242**] including Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 61096**] from Urology, and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 37080**]
from Surgery. Mother underwent 2 attempted vesicoamniotic
shunt placements at 21 weeks and again at 24 weeks. Both
catheters initially achieved bladder drainage but
subsequently migrated from the bladder. The mother received a
course of betamethasone at 24 weeks. No other abnormalities
were noted on ultrasound and most likely diagnosis was
thought to be posterior urethral valves.
On the day of delivery, mother presented in preterm labor.
Due to the presumed intrauterine location of the previous
shunts, mother was taken for [**Name (NI) 32007**] delivery. Membranes
were intact at the time of delivery and there were no
specific sepsis risk factors noted.
In the delivery room, the patient emerged with moderate tone
but poor respiratory effort and cyanosis. Status appeared to
improve with bag mask ventilation and heart rate was always
greater than 100. Infant was intubated in the delivery room
and then brought to the NICU. Apgar scores were 6 and 7.
ADMISSION PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Initial examination was
notable for a somewhat edematous 32-week gestational age
infant with several areas of bruising in the arms, the scalp
and legs. Mild deformational abnormalities of the ears were
noted. Lungs had very distant breath sounds that required
significant pressures with positive pressure ventilation to
aerate. Heart exam was regular rate and rhythm without
murmurs. Abdomen was noted to be quite distended in the lower
segment. Testes were not descended.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS:
1. RESPIRATORY: Infant was initially placed on
conventional ventilation of SIMV with settings of 35/5
with a rate of 40. Initially, oxygen saturations were
reasonable with FIO2 of 100%. However, secondary to
inability to adequately ventilate, infant was quickly
changed to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.
Infant received 2 doses of surfactant and escalated in
ventilator settings to a MAP of 24 and amplitude of 52.
Over the course of the first hospital night, infant had
persistent difficulty with ventilation as well as
increasing difficulties with oxygenation eventually
prompting the initiation of nitric oxide at
approximately 8 hours of life due to persistent
inability to achieve oxygen saturations above 60%.
Infant status transiently improved with achievement of
oxygen saturations of 90-100%; however, PO2 in blood
gases consistently remained under 50. At approximately
12 hours of life, infant experienced a further
deterioration with a prolonged period of desaturation
with oxygen saturations in the 60-70% range. Numerous
maneuvers were attempt including increase of ventilator
settings, volume support, and increase of nitric oxide
with eventual improvement of oxygenation on settings of
a MAP of 26, amplitude of 60 and nitric oxide of 40 ppm.
However, approximately 1 hour later infant experienced
an acute decompensation with severe desaturation and
severe hypotension that was found to be due to the
development of a right-sided pneumothorax. This was
drained initially with multiple procedures of needle
thoracentesis. Status initially improved but then
remained quite tenuous. A right-sided chest tube was
placed without notable improvement. Infant's status
continued to fluctuate with eventual further
decompensation leading to severe bradycardia,
hypotension and hypoxia. A left-sided pneumothorax at
that time was noted which was drained by needle
thoracentesis without improvement.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: Umbilical venous catheter, umbilical
arterial catheter were placed on admission. Over the
first couple hours of life infant required blood
pressure support with normal saline boluses as well as
initiation of dopamine. Systemic blood pressure was
attempted to be maintained in a generous range due to
presumed pulmonary hypertension. Infant initially
appeared to stabilize on a dopamine of 15 mcg/kg/min but
subsequent deterioration in status eventually resulted
in dopamine of 25 mcg/kg/min, as well as additional
volume support with a total of approximately 5 boluses
of normal saline. Preductal and postductal oxygen
saturations were measured and were found to have a 10 to
15-point gradient suggestive of pulmonary hypertension.
Cardiology consultation was obtained on the morning of
[**2199-12-5**], and an echocardiogram at that time showed
evidence of pulmonary hypertension with systemic right-
sided pressure, right-to-left shunting at the PFO,
bidirectional shunting at the PDA, and mild to moderate
ventricular dysfunction.
3. FEN: Infant was maintained on maintenance IV fluids
from admission with fluid restriction to 60-80 cc/kg/D
secondary to unclear renal function. Blood sugars and
blood chemistries over the first 12 hours of life were
largely within acceptable range. Due to the prenatal
diagnosis of bladder obstruction, a Urology consultation
was obtained after birth and a Foley catheter was placed
by the Urology with difficulty. Following placement of
the Foley catheter, a large amount of urine was drained,
approximately 190 cc. This urine was found to have a
sodium concentration of 131 mEq/L similar to serum.
Subsequently to the initial drainage, very little urine
output was seen, although it was not zero. A renal
ultrasound was performed which revealed a severely
dysplastic left kidney with diffuse cystic changes, a
right kidney with severe hydronephrosis and an echogenic
cortex although overall architecture was within normal
limits, and a bladder with severely thickened wall. The
bladder was empty on ultrasound with the catheter in
place.
4. ID: Initial CBC and blood culture were sent on
admission. White blood cell count was 22.4 thousand with
26% polys, 5% bands, 43% lymphs and 23% atypical lymphs.
Initial hematocrit was 52 and platelets were 177. Infant
was begun on ampicillin and cefotaxime. Blood culture
was sent and is negative at time of this dictation.
5. GI: A bilirubin at 12 hours of life was measured and
was 2.3/0.2.
6. NEURO: Shortly after admission, infant was maintained
on sedation with fentanyl due to the precarious
cardiopulmonary status. Eventually, the infant received
muscle relaxation with Pancuronium due to difficulties
with maintaining ventilatory support. Infant was
maintained on muscle relaxation and sedation with
fentanyl subsequently.
7. DISPOSITION: At approximately 15 hours of life, the
infant was noted to experience an acute decompensation,
as mentioned above, related to pneumothorax. Despite
aggressive interventions, infant's status remained
precarious. Eventually, infant developed bradycardia
with heart rates to the 40s and 60s in a setting of
severe hypoxia and severe hypotension. Cardiopulmonary
resuscitation was begun with chest compressions and
administration of several doses of epinephrine.
Transient improvement in heart rates were seen but these
were not persistent. The parents were brought to the
bedside and after a discussion of the severity of the
infant's illness and the extremely low likelihood of
survival, the parents asked for resuscitative measures
to be stopped. CPR was given for approximately 15
minutes for a total of 4 doses of epinephrine, chest
compressions and administration of volume and
bicarbonate. Intensive care measures were stopped at
1:05 p.m. Parents held their child briefly and the
infant expired at 1:23 p.m. Cause of death was
cardiopulmonary failure presumably secondary to
pulmonary hypoplasia, respiratory distress syndrome and
pulmonary hypertension. Underlying diagnoses included
prematurity, bladder outlet obstruction, renal failure
and presumed posterior urethral valves.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Expired. [**Location (un) 511**] Organ Bank and
medical examiner were notified and both declined
participation. The family agreed to a full autopsy.
Obstetrician, Dr. [**MD Number(4) **] [**Name (STitle) **], was notified.

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION
[**Numeric Identifier 111553**] - CCC *** PRELIMINARY ***
PROCEDURE DATE: [**2139-1-3**]
INDICATIONS FOR CATHETERIZATION:
STEMI,
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Mild elevation of right and left filling pressures with
preserved CI.
3. Acute MI likely due to the mid LAD lesion with possible
multivessel
acute ischemia.
4. Successful stenting of the mid LAD, Proximal D1 and mid CX.
COMMENTS: 1. Selective coronary angiography in this right
dominant
patient revealed three vessel CAD. The LMCA was angiographically
normal. The LAD had a 90% occlusion after D1 with slightly
decreased
flow distal to this lesion. The D1 had a ostial 60% lesion and
proximal
90% lesion. The LCX [**Male First Name (un) **] mid occlusion after OM1 with faint
filling of
distal vessel. The RCA had moderate disease with 70%
posteroloateral
branch and 60% mid PDA.
2. Resting hemodynamics revealed mild elevation of right and
left
filling pressures with RA of 10 and PCWP of 15mmHG. The cardiac
index
was preserved at 2.56. There was very mild pulmonary
hypertension.
The systemic blood pressure was normal at 118/59. There were no
arrhythmias during the case.
3. Successful predilation using 2.0 X 08mm Voyager balloon and
stenting
using a 2.5 X 08mm Cypher stent of the mid LAD with lesion
reduction
from 90% to 0%.
4. successful predilation using 2.0 X 08mm Voyager balloon and
stenting
using 2.5 X 08mm Cypher stent of the proximal D1 with lesion
reduction
from 90% to 0%.
5. Successful predilation using 2.0 X 15mm sprinter balloon,
stenting
using 2.5 X 28mm Cypher stent and post dilation using 3.0 X 20mm
Maverick balloon with lesion reuduction from 99% to 0%.
>>> The final angiogram showd TIMI III flow in the left coronary
system
with no dissection or embolisation. (see PTCA comments)

STUDY: AP chest performed on [**2139-1-4**].
FINDINGS: The cardiac silhouette and mediastinum is
unremarkable. There is
some mild prominence of interstitial markings without evidence
for focal
infiltrates, pleural effusions, or pulmonary edema. Bony
structures are
intact.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence for acute cardiopulmonary process.
.
Echo [**2139-1-6**]:
1. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed, EF 40%.
Distal anterior, distal septal, and apical hypokinesis to
akinesis is present.
2. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+)
mitral regurgitation is seen.
Right groin u/s:([**2139-1-7**])
In the right groin, there are findings consistent with a
partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm measuring approximately 22 x
21 x 24 mm in maximum diameters originated from the common
femoral artery, the width of the neck is 3 mm. The adjacent
superficial femoral artery, superficial femoral vein and deep
femoral vein are unremarkable.
Multiple benign-appearing lymph nodes measure less than 17 mm
are seen in the right groin.
IMPRESSION: Partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm as described
originated from the common femoral artery.
Right groin U/S: [**2139-1-8**]
A pseudoaneurysm is present in the right inguinal region related
to the common femoral artery which is mostly thrombosed. The
overall size of the pseudoaneurysm is 2.8 x 0.8 cm with the size
of the patent portion of the pseudoaneurysm measuring 0.9 x 0.4
cm. The neck of the pseudoaneurysm is patent currently. The
common femoral artery appears patent on these limited images. On
comparison with the prior study, the area of flow within the
right inguinal pseudoaneurysm appears to have decreased in the
interval.
Given the above findings, it is likely that this pseudoaneurysm
will thrombose spontaneously and we consider that it does not
require intervention (such as thrombin injection) at this time.
A followup ultrasound in [**4-8**] days' time is recommended to
confirm continued resolution of this pseudoaneurysm.

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was stabilized at an OSH ([**Hospital3 2005**]) and transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for definitive management. He was seen and evaluated in
the Trauma Bay and found to have a LeFort I fx, for which he had
been intubated for airway protection. His other imaging was
negative for acute injury, although his CSpine was relevant for
severe central canal stenosiss from degenerative disc disease
from C3-C7. On admission to the ICU, the patient was noted to
have labile pressures, but was flluid responsive. He was started
on Unasyn with plastic surgery's recommendations for
nonoperative management of LeFort I Fracture. He was noted to be
in AFib and this was managemd with lopressor and diltiazem for
the duration of his admission, although his coumadin was held
for concern of bleeding. His left metacarpal fracture was seen
by Orthopedics and stabilized with a splint. On [**5-16**] he was
succesfully extubated and his nasal packings were removed
without evidence of rebleeding. At this time he was alert and
oriented and able to sit up in bed. On [**5-18**] the patient was
transferred to the floor. Because of his facial fractures, he
was unable to tolerate POs, and Dobhoff/NG tube placement was
contraindicated, so the patient was planned for a GTube. In the
interim the patient was nutrionally maintained on TPN. On [**5-24**]
the patient had a percutaneous gastric tube placed in the
operating room with concurrant nasal fracture reduction. At the
end of the procedure, the tube was endoscopically examined and
determined to be properly placed and secured into place with
nonabsorbable suture. His Gtube was placed to gravity prior to
initiation of tube feedings. On [**5-25**] the patient was noted to be
in rapid afib and respiratory distress for which he required
intubation. The patient was transferred to the ICU and
resuscitatied with crystalloid and maintained on neosynephrine
for unstable pressures. Cardiac enzymes were cycled and the
patient underwent both bronchoscopy and CT Torso to evaluate for
potential causes of his septic picture. His minimum pressure
prior to resuscitation was 50/30, and recovvered appropritately
with pressures and IVF resuscitation. His CT torso was reviewed
and demonstrated that PO contrast instilled through the G tube
was free within the peritoneum along with free air, and
herniation of the stomach through the hiatus of the diaphragm.
Additionally a right sided hydronephrosis [**1-17**] ureteral calculus
was identified. Urology was consulted for hydronephrosis and a
ureteral stent was placed along with a percutaneous nephrostomy
tube. Additionally the patient was noted to be in acute renal
failure for which the nephrology service was consulted and the
patient started on CRRT as tolerated by his labile blood
pressures. On [**5-26**] the patient was taken to the OR for ex-lap
and resiting of his PEG with reduction of his hiatal hernia. He
was maintained on levofloxacin, cefepime and flagyl initially
and his antibiotics tailored to known cultures for the remainder
of his admission with the help of the Infectious Disease
service. Blood cultures were positive from prior to OR. He
continued to require levophed and vasopressin for maintainance
of perfusing pressures postoperatively. On weaning sedation the
patient was noted to have significant decrease in mental status,
but was responsive to stimulus. On [**5-30**] the patient was
restarted on tube feedings without any worsening peritoneal
signs or evidence of worsening sepsis. By [**6-2**] the patient was
succesfully weaned from his pressors, but remained intubated [**1-17**]
mental status changes, and CT head and Torso obtained on [**6-1**]
indicated no intracranial hemorrhage and no abscesses
intrabdominally, but did demonstrate large bilateral pleural
effusions, for which IR was consulted and placed a R pigtail
catheter. He failed a trial extubation on [**6-4**]. On [**6-6**] he
underwent tracheostomy placement for his prolonged intubation
and this was performed without difficulty, although the patient
did have difficulty tolerating tube feeds at this time, and his
G tube was changed to a G-J by IR on [**6-7**]. He continued to have
persistent fevers and on [**6-8**] CT Torso demonstrated multiple
abdominal fluid collections for which an IR pigtails x3 were
placed with serous output. His thoracic pigtail output was noted
to be decreased oon [**6-13**] and he continued to have persistent
pleural effusions were noted, so bilateral chest tubes were
placed without difficulty. Additionally, he was noted to have a
large purulent fluid collection underlying his wound and this
was opened and packed with wet to dry dressings initially, then
converted to a wound vac. His tube feeds were advanced to goal
and his chest tubes and abdominal pig tails were allowed to
drain until they were observed to have decreased output, then
removed. His GTube was capped and the Jejunal portion remained
functional without increased residuals. Repeat imaging showed
stable fluid collections the largest of which was 2cm. On HD 40
the patient was afebrile and maintained on Vancomycin and Zosyn,
at which time he was screened and transferred to a Long Term
Acute Care facility for further management.

General Discharge Instructions:
You have had an abdominal operation. This sheet goes over some
questions and concerns you or your family may have. If you have
additional questions, or [**Male First Name (un) **]??????t understand something about your
operation, please call your [**Male First Name (un) 5059**].
ACTIVITY:
Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and
feel you could respond in an emergency.
You may climb stairs.
You may go outside. But avoid traveling long distances until you
see your [**Male First Name (un) 5059**] at your next visit.
[**Male First Name (un) **]??????t lift more than 20-25 pounds for 6 weeks. (This is about
the weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies
to lifting children, but they may sit on your lap.
You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable.
You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a
time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you
can resume tub baths or swimming.
Heavy exercise may be started after 6 weeks, but use common
sense and go slowly at first.
You may resume sexual activity unless your doctor has told you
otherwise.
HOW YOU [**Month (only) **] FEEL:
You may feel weak or ??????washed out?????? for 6 weeks. You might want to
nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you.
You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your
throat during surgery.
You might have trouble concentrating or difficulty sleeping. You
might feel somewhat depressed.
You could have a poor appetite for a while. Food may seem
unappealing.
All these feelings and reactions are normal and should go away
in a short time. If they do not, tell your [**Month (only) 5059**].
YOUR INCISION:
Your incision may be slightly red around the stitches or
staples. This is normal.
You may gently wash away dried material around your incision.
Do not remove steri-strips for 2 weeks. (These are the thin
paper strips that might be on your incision.) But if they fall
off before that, it??????s OK.
It is normal to feel a firm ridge along the incision. This will
go away.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area.
Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told
otherwise.
You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid staining
your dressing or clothes. If the staining is severe, please call
your [**Month (only) 5059**].
You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may
resume tub baths or swimming.
Over the next 6-12 months, your incision will fade and become
less prominent.
YOUR BOWELS:
Constipation is a common side effect of medicine such as
Percocet or codeine. If needed, you may take a stool softener
(such as Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as Milk
of Magnesia, 1 tablespoon) twice a day. You can get both of
these medicines without a prescription.
If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain moving
the bowels, call your [**Month (only) 5059**].
After some operations, diarrhea can occur. If you get diarrhea,
[**Male First Name (un) **]??????t take anti-diarrhea medicines. Drink plenty of fluids and
see if it goes away. If it does not go away, or is severe and
you feel ill, please call your [**Male First Name (un) 5059**]
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as ??????soreness.??????
Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is
getting worse instead of better, please contact your [**Name2 (NI) 5059**].
You will receive a prescription from your [**Name2 (NI) 5059**] for pain
medicine to take by mouth. It is important you take this
medicine as directed. Do not take it more frequently than
prescribed. Do not take more medicine at one time than
prescribed.
Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.
Talk with your [**Name2 (NI) 5059**] about how long you will need to take
prescription pain medicine. Please [**Male First Name (un) **]??????t take any other pain
medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your
[**Male First Name (un) 5059**] has said it is OK.
If you are experiencing no pain, it is OK to skip a dose of pain
medicine.
To reduce pain, remember to exhale with any exertion or when you
change positions.
Remember to use your ??????cough pillow?????? for splinting when you cough
or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises.
If you experience any of the following, please contact your
[**Name2 (NI) 5059**]:
sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours
pain that is getting worse over time

1. Prominence of ventricular system is proportional to sulcal
prominence and therefore consistent with central atrophy. A
normal pressure hydrocephalus cannot be excluded, however.
2. No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.
3. Extensive chronic microvascular angiopathy.
.
# CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2152-2-22**] 8:41 AM
Ill-defined opacities in the left mid and lower zones are new,
worrisome for aspiration. The right lung remains clear.
Cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged. No pneumothorax or
pleural effusions. The left apex is obscured by the ____.
.
# CHEST (PA & LAT) [**2152-2-21**] 4:36 PM
Two views, with the lateral view is slightly limited by
overlying sheets, dorsally and no comparisons. Allowing for the
slightly low lung volumes, the lungs are clear. Other than a
tortuous, unfolded and calcified aorta, the cardiomediastinal
silhouette and pulmonary vessels are within normal limits with
no evidence of CHF. There is diffuse osteopenia with anterior
wedging of several mid-thoracic vertebrae and resultant
kyphosis, which may be chronic.
Brief Hospital Course:
77M h/o HTN, hyperlipidemia, admitted with influenza, now
complicated by aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis.
.
# Respiratory distress: Pt initially presented in some acute
respiraotry distress with high NC O2 requirements. he was found
to be positive for influenza A and a CXR showed evidence of
pneumonia. He was treated with oseltamivir and antibiotics
(levo and vancomycin). He briefly required a MICU stay given the
desaturations and higher nursing needs. In the MICU, pt was
placed on aggressive nebulizers, supplemental oxygen, telemetry,
chest PT, and suctioning. Once his respiratory status improved
after more aggressive suctioning and chest PT he was transferred
to the floor. His respiratory distress improved and he was able
to be weaned off of supplemental oxygen. He was continued on
the levofloxacin and vancomycin for the pneumonia to complete a
7 day course which was complete prior to discharge.
.
# Mental status change: Pt had presented with some acute MS
changes which was felt to be likely secondary to his infectioon
as well as dehydration. However he was empirically started in
ED on ceftriaxone for meningitis and acyclovir for herpetic
encephalitis. A CT head was negative for acute pathology; LP
negative for meningitis, but because of traumatic tap, unable to
rule out herpetic enchepalitis with RBCs. His MS subsequently
improved after treatment for his pneumonia and after IVF
hydration; thus the Acyclovir and ceftriaxone were discontinued.
His mental status thus improved to his baseline off the
acyclovir and therefore not restarted (low suspicion for viral
meningitis).
.
# HTN: Pt on lisinopril 5mg daily as home regimen; however,
given dehydration and elevated Cr, this was initially held. He
initially was treated with IV blood pressure medication and then
transitioned to po metoprolol. Once his ARF resolved his
Lisinopril was restarted and he was continued on the Toprol with
good BP control.
.
# FEN-Pt was evaluated by speech and swallow who felt pt could
tolearte thin liquids/pureed solids but as his respiratory
status/mental status improved; this was advanced and pt was
tolearting a regular diet on dishcarge.
.
#Dispo-Pt was evaluated by PT who felt that pt warranted an
acute rehab stay.

Chief Complaint:
Incarcerated ventral hernia
atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response
chronic obstruction pulmonary disease
obstructive sleep apnea
diabetes mellitus
pulmonary artery hypertension
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
[**2147-6-16**] - ventral hernia repair with mesh
History of Present Illness:
53F transfer from OSH for an incarcerated ventral hernia.
Patient reports a history of a ventral hernia repair in [**2144**]
that
recurred 1 month after the initial surgery but was always
reducible until 2 days ago, when she was no longer able to
manually reduce it. It has since become increasingly painful
and
she is experiencing worsening nausea, no vomiting. Her last BM
was 3 days ago and she has not passed flatus since.
Patient reports a complicated post-operative course after her
initial hernia operation at [**Hospital3 **] requiring an ICU
stay for "breathing problems". She says this is why she was
referred to [**Hospital1 18**] for repair of her hernia.
Transfer to cardiology floor:
53F h/o COPD Aflutter s/p ablation [**2145**] transfer from OSH for an
incarcerated ventral hernia s/p repair on [**2147-6-16**].
In the [**Name (NI) 13042**], pt had Afib with RVR to 140s (no hypotension) and
was transferred on [**6-18**] to the SICU where a dilt gtt was
started. Her dilt gtt was weaned off, and propafenone (home med)
and metoprolol (home med) were started. On day of transfer, HR
on this regimen has been 90s-110s with blood pressure
120s-140s/40s-80s. O2 sats were low 90s on 5L N/C. She was noted
to be volume overloaded on exam, and lasix was initiated. She
was 4L negative during stay in SICU. On day of transfer she was
given 20mg IV lasix once in the SICU and was 1L negative as of
3pm. She occasionally converts back to sinus.

of view below the diaphragm.
[**6-19**] CXR: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no
relevant
change. Moderate-to-severe pulmonary edema with cardiomegaly and
retrocardiac
atelectasis. Suspected small left pleural effusion. No newly

thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are
normal (LVEF >55%). Diastolic function could not be assessed.
There is no ventricular septal defect. The right ventricular
cavity is mildly dilated with borderline normal free wall
function. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but
aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is severe pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal regional and global lef ventricular systolic
function. The right ventricle is not well seen but is probably
dilated and hypokinetic with severe pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension.
[**6-21**] EKG: Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response.
Right axis deviation.Compared to the previous tracing of [**2147-6-18**]
the ventricular response has slowed. Otherwise, no diagnostic

Brief Hospital Course:
Surgical course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] was admitted from the ED with intent to take her to the
operating room the next day. Her hernia was incarcerated but
was able to be reduced in the ED. Her hernia continued to
recur, however and plans were made to take her to the operating
room the next day. She was kept NPO with IVF. Overnight into
HD 2, she triggered for Afib with RVR in the 130s-140s. She
responded well to IV lopressor and converted back into normal
sinus rythym. She was taken to the operating room on [**2147-6-16**]
for repair. Please refer to Dr.[**Name (NI) 1863**] operative note for
additional details.
Her post-operative course was uncomplicated from a surgical
standpoint. Her wound dressings were removed on POD 2 and the
incision was clean, dry, intact. There was a small seroma
visible at the superior aspect of the wound. It was monitored
and did not show signs of infection. The patient was instructed
on signs of infection prior to her discharge. On POD 1 into POD
2, she passed flatus and was advanced in her diet. She
tolerated a regular diet without difficulty.
Her cardiac and respiratory status, though, required attention.
This patient had baseline paroxysmal afib and COPD prompting
continuous oxygen therapy in the initial post-op period. She
went into atrial fibrillation with a heart rate in the 140s on
POD 1 in the [**Name (NI) 13042**]. The cardiology consult team assessed the
patient and recommended resumption of her home antiarrythmic and
beta blocker (propafenone and metoprolol). She converted back
into normal sinus rythym but was transferred from the [**Name (NI) 13042**] to
the ICU in the case that she reverted and needed a diltiazem
drip. On POD 2, she was placed on a diltiazem drip for a brief
period of time. Her metoprolol dose was increased to 75 mg TID.
Propafenone was continued.
On POD 3, she was tolerating a regular diet, having bowel
movements and overall stable from a surgical perspective. She
was hemodynamically stable but continued to be in persistent
afib with a heart rate in the 100s-120s. The cardiology team
accepted transfer to their service.
Cardiology course:
# Pulmonary hypertension with PASP on TTE estimated at >70 - new
since [**9-/2146**], however both TTE's were sub-optimal studies. [**Month (only) 116**]
be related to underlying lung disease/COPD and OSA. Was off
anticoagulation for short time post-op, so at risk for PE.
However, no tachycardia currently, O2 requirement has been
improving so less likely. Bridged with heparin, INR therapeutic
at discharge. Will need follow-up for COPD, OSA and her
elevated Pulmonary artery pressure.
.
# Oxygen Requirement: Pt on no home O2 prior to admission,
though has required in past while recovering from pna. New O2
requirement likely related to underlying lung disease and volume
overload as has dilated LA with normal LV and has had decreasing
O2 requirement with increasing diuresis.

Transitional Issues:
1) PA hypertension: This is a new finding since [**46**]/[**2145**].
However, both the recent and the [**2145**] echo were sub-optimal
studies due to body habitus. She very likely has OSA and COPD
and these may be causes. Chronic PEs are a possibility and she
is anticoagulated for AFib. She should have close follow-up
regarding this.
2) COPD/OSA: She understands that CPAP would be beneficial and
it is worth discussing this with her again.
3) AFib: She is on coumadin. Evaluate if candidate for
dabigatran. She spontaneously converts to sinus. Metoprolol
was increased for rate control, but this dose may need changing
as outpatient.
4) Lasix: She was sent out on 10mg PO daily. This may need
adjustment based on volume status and lab results at follow up
with PCP next week.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname **],
It was a pleasure meeting and taking care of you. You were
initially admitted for repair of your hernia. After surgery,
you had a rapid heart rate that was treated with medications.
Your blood was thinned to prevent clots from forming. You also
required oxygen for several days, and it was thought this was
related to your chronic lung disease and sleep apnea. You
should be sure to follow up with your doctors. Specifically you
should talk to them about continuing the lasix we have
prescribed for you and obtain a chemistry panel with creatinine
(lab tests) at your primary provider [**Name9 (PRE) 702**] in the next week.
You should also talk about sleep apnea, and as we discussed,
consider using the continuous positive airway pressure mask (at
night) to prevent complications from worsening. You should use
the oxygen we have prescribed for you at home as needed. Please
also note the following medication changes:
Please START:
-Lasix 20mg (take one half tablet by mouth daily) and be sure to
follow up the lab work with your primary care doctor within one
week
-Metoprolol tartrate 100mg twice a day (this is a slight
increase from your previous dose)
-Oxygen 1-4Liters as needed.
Please CONTINUE your other medications as previously prescribed.

aorta.
6. There are three aortic valve leaflets. There is no aortic
valve stenosis. Mild to moderate ([**12-22**]+) aortic regurgitation is
seen.
7. A mitral valve annuloplasty ring is present. An eccentric,
anteriorly directed jet of moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is
seen.
8. There is no pericardial effusion.
POST-BYPASS:
1. The patient is V paced. The patient is on epinephrine,
milrinone, and norepinephrine infusions.
2. Left ventricular function appears moderately depressed (LVEF
= 35-40%)
3. The right ventricle is severely dilated with severe global
dysfunction.
4. Moderate (2+) tricuspid regurgitation is seen.
5. Mitral regurgitation is unchanged.
6. Aortic regurgitation is unchanged.
6. The aorta is intact post-decannulation.
[**2189-2-28**] ECHO
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50-55%).
The right ventricular function is probably preserved. The aortic
root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The anterior
mitral valve leaflet is mildly thickened. A mitral valve
annuloplasty ring is present. An eccentric, anteriorly directed
jet of Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Probably preserved LV function and RV function.
There is mild eccentric MR.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 284**] was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2189-2-26**] for surgical
management of his aneurysm. He underwent preoperative testing
and was placed on Heparin as he had been off his Coumadin for
five days. On [**2189-2-27**], he was taken to the Operating Room where
he underwent replacement of his ascending aorta and hemiarch
with reimplantation of his saphenous vein grafts. Please see
operative note for details. Due to a coagulopathy, he was left
with an open chest and taken to the intensive care unit.
He received multiple blood products for his coagulopathy. The
renal service was consulted for acute renal failure and possible
need for dialysis. He was aggressively diuresed and his renal
function stabilized. On [**2189-3-2**], he was returned to the
Operating rRoom where he underwent mediastinal washout and
sternal closure. Postoperatively he was taken to the intensive
care unit for monitoring. On [**2189-3-4**] he awoke and was extubated.
He had some confusion but was without any focal deficits. His
renal function continued to improve. He was placed on Amiodarone
for ventricular tachycardia in the OR. EP followed the patient.
He developed first degree AV block and beta blocker was held
until it resolved. He then vascilated between sinus rhythm and
AFib. Coumadin was resumed for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
.
Vascular surgery was consulted and ruled out compartment
syndrome in the right lower extremity.
Leukocytosis developed to a peak of [**Numeric Identifier 14157**] and he was
pan-cultured. Infectious Disease was consulted. Cultures were
unrevealing, CDiff toxin was negative on 4 occassions and torso
and leg CT were negative for source. The patient was started
empirically on Flagyl with a fall in the white count. Other
antibiotics were stopped and the Flagyl changed to oral
Vancomycin per Infectious Disease. He will be treated with a 14
day course of PO vancomycin in the setting of persistent
leukocytosis and loose stool. Ultrasound of the edematous right
leg revealed only edema, no focal collections.
despite being below his preoperative weight he continued to have
edema and diuretics were continued. Spironolactone was given due
to his underlying heart failure.
On [**3-16**] his WBC had fallen to 13,500, he was afebrile and felt
well. He was trasnsferred to Genesis [**Hospital 11252**] rehab . Follow up
appointments were made and medications are as listed.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was brought to the operating room on [**2201-1-28**]
where he underwent CABG x 3 and closure of ASD. The patient
received vancomycin for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis
because he was inpatient 24hours prior to surgery. Overall the
patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was
transferred to the CVICU in stable condition for further
recovery and invasive monitoring. By POD 1 the patient was
extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. He was
hemodynamically stable and neurologically intact. He did
develop some rapid atrial fibrillation in the 120s. This was
managed with amiodarone and beta blockers, and the patient would
convert to sinus rhythm. He was transferred to the step down
unit where he made excellent progress with physical therapy,
showing good strength and mobility prior to discharge. Chest
tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without complication.
The patient was discharged home on POD 4.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 62-year-old
patient with Down syndrome who was transferred to [**Hospital3 **]Hospital for an expanding left subdural hematoma with
change in mental status and aspiration pneumonia.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAM: Temp 98, BP 136/54, heart rate 80,
respiratory rate 20, sats 96 percent on room air. The
patient was awake, noncommunicative, at baseline, attends
examiner, noncooperative. Pupils 4 down to 3 mm and briskly
reactive. EOMs full. Face symmetric. Follows commands in
the upper extremity. Moves the left lower extremity
spontaneously. Toes were downgoing bilaterally. Deep tendon
reflexes were 2 plus and symmetric.
CT showed a left temporal acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma
with minimal midline shift.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the ICU for
close neurologic observation. CT also showed an inferior
left temporal bone fracture. On [**2130-12-18**], the patient had
a subdural drain placed at the bedside for evacuation of the
subdural hematoma. She had a repeat head CT on postprocedure
day number 1 which showed good evacuation, and improvement of
midline shift. The subdural drain was removed on [**2130-12-20**],
and the patient was transferred to the regular floor. She
was more awake, not following commands, but moving all
extremities spontaneously.
She had a swallow eval on [**2130-12-21**] which she passed,
and the following day had a video swallow which she again
passed, and was able to have a pureed diet with thin liquids.
Physical therapy and occupational evaluated her and found her
a maximum assist of 2 out-of-bed to chair, which was
supposedly her baseline. The patient was felt to require a
short rehab stay prior to discharge back to her group home.FU in
6 weeks with head CT.

appendage. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color
Doppler. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are
normal. There are simple atheroma in the aortic arch. There are
simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic
valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is

Intact thoracic aorta. No new valvular findings.
Brief Hospital Course:
As mentioned in the HPI, Mr. [**Known lastname **] was transferred from
outside hospital after cardiac cath revealed severe coronary
artery disease. Upon admission he was medically managed and
underwent pre-operative work-up. On [**1-20**] he was brought to the
operating room where he underwent a coronary arterty bypass
graft x 4. Please see operative note for details. Following
surgery he was transferred to the CVICU for invasive monitoring
in stable condition. His awoke from sedation hemodynamically
stable and was weaned from the ventilator and extubated. He was
started on betablockers, lasix, ASA and statin therapy. CT and
temporary pacing wires were removed per protocol. He was
evaluated by physical tehrpay for strnegth and conditioning. On
3 separate occasions when he was walking on the stairs he became
hypotensive w/ SBP 70's-80's and diaphoretic. His medications
were adjusted and he was given 2 UPRBC for post-op anemia( HCT
22) with stabilization of his hemodynamics. An ECHO was done
without evidence of pericardial effusion. CXR revealed a
moderate left effusion which has responded to diuresis. On POD#
6 he was cleared for dischrge to home and all follow up
instructions and appointments were advised.

TTE: The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses and
cavity size are normal. There is mild regional left ventricular
systolic
dysfunction with focal hypokinesis of the distal septum, distal
anterior wall and apex. Right ventricular chamber size and free
wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure
could not be determined. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion. There is a large left pleural effusion.
COMPARISON: [**2158-1-24**].
TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast head CT.
HEAD CT W/O IV CONTRAST: There is no intra- or extra-axial
hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline
structures. Differentiation of [**Doctor Last Name 352**] and white matter is
preserved. There are white matter chronic infarctions and basal
ganglia lacunes. There is prominence of the sulci and
ventricles, consistent with atrophy.
Otherwise, paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
The surrounding osseous and soft tissue structures are within
normal limits.
IMPRESSION: No intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. Chronic
microvascular and lacunar infarction.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to [**2158-4-8**].
TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast head CT.
FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect,
shift of normally midline structures, major vascular territorial
infarcts. The [**Doctor Last Name 352**]-white matter differentiation is preserved.
There are chronic periventricular hypodensities consistent with
chronic ischemic changes. There is a round hypodense area in the
left frontal lobe that is unchanged compared to the prior study
and most likely represents an old lacune. The paranasal sinuses
are normally aerated.
IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of the brain. No evidence of acute
intracranial hemorrhage.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. CHF-etiology likely inadequate afterload reduction (no ACE
inhibitor and low dose lasix.) Possible EF significantly lower
than pre-CABG LV gram indicated. He diuresed well with
nesiritide gtt accompanied by boluses of Lasix (responded to
lasix 100 mg IV). He was able to be extubated on [**4-4**] after
considerable diuresis. He also had a thoracentesis (pleural
fluid c/w transudate), which was complicated by a pneumothorax
on the right. Thoracic surgery placed a chest tube, which was
able to be discontinued 2 days later (ptx resolved).
His medical management was optimized. His ACE inhibitor was
titrated up along with his metoprolol to 100 mg TID, and he
still had relatively poor bp control, in the 130s to 150s.
Aldactone was added. He was placed on standing lasix 80 [**Hospital1 **]
which was decreased to once a day, as well as ASA and a statin.
2. Hypoxemia-likely all due to CHF but question of infiltrate on
initial CXR. His sputum grew GNR but culture negative. He was
originally placed on vanc/zosyn, but was changed to levaquin for
total 7 day course. He remained afebrile. His oxygen
saturation improved greatly with diuresis.
3. Afib-labled chronic. His coumadin was originally held, and
he was placed on a heparin gtt. This was discontinued when he
had the chest tube placed. His coumadin was restarted when the
tube was pulled, and he was not bridged with heparin given the
risk of bleeding. His INR was supratherapeutic upon discharge
and his INR should be checked by his visiting nurse the day
after discharge.
4. Metabolic Alkalosis-likely contraction from diuresis.
Improved with diamox, although not resolved. Question if pt has
hyperaldo - hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and difficult to treat
hypertension. However, he would need to have all his diuretics
stop to appropriately diagnose this, and that isn't feasible at
this time.
5. Psych: He was intermittently confused and agitated throughout
his course. He was originally kept on his outpatient regimen of
seroquel 25 qhs and zyprexa 2.5 tid. He was evaluated by
psychiatry who recommended a delirium workup. His head CT was
neg, as was his TSH. Psychiatry recommended discontinuing the
zyprexa and seroquel and instead recommended standing haldol TID
and [**Hospital1 **] prn for agitation. At times, the patient exhibited
extreme behavior by verbally attacking his nurses and
physicians.
6. Gout: He developed an erythematous, painful R MTP joint,
which was treated wiht prednisone 30 mg po qd x 2 d. Because of
his altered mental status, which became acutely worse the same
day the steroids were started, he only had 2 days of prednisone.
His toe pain resolved, and the steroids were discontinued
(?steroid psychosis).
7. Hematuria-Foley catheter was placed last admission in [**1-14**].
This was placed by urology with cystoscopy and ureteral dilation
secondary to anatomical difficulty from BPH. Foley was removed
this admission as it had been in place for three months. Due to
urinary incontinence and skin breakdown from fungal infection
the catheter was replaced by urology. It should be removed once
skin condition improves.
8. Clostridium Difficile Colitis: Patient had been started on
oral vancomycin for clostridium difficile colitis diagnosed at
[**Hospital1 **] Rehabilitation Center. (Presumably he was
started on vancomycin since had previously been treated
[**Date range (1) 40058**] for C difficile colitis with Flagyl and this was
assumed to be a relapse.) He completed his course on [**2158-4-7**],
however, continued to have diarrhea with positive C diff toxin.
Therefore, the vancomycin was restarted on [**2158-4-12**] with plan for
10 days to complete [**2158-4-21**]. Flagyl was added for a ten day
course ([**2158-4-15**] to [**2158-4-25**]).
9. Placement: Many discussions with the family were made. The
patient's wife felt that he had suffered emotionally and
physically in a rehab hospital where he recently stayed and
refused to place him in another rehab hospital. Instead, she
felt that the patient was nearing the end of his life and
preferred him to be home for his quality of life and happiness.
All those actively involved in Mr. [**Known lastname 40059**] care, including
nurses, doctors, and case managers, advised his wife that caring
for Mr. [**Known lastname 2523**] required a high degree of nursing care and were
strongly against sending the patient home as he appeared
medically unfit. However, Mrs. [**Known lastname 2523**] insisted on taking him
home. As a result, case management was involved in setting up
home VNA and maximal medical services available. In addition,
the wife met on several occasions with the nursing staff to care
for her husband under nursing supervision and guidance 5-6 days
before discharge. As the patient is at risk for aspiration and
thus must remain strictly NPO, his wife was also provided
teaching regarding tube feeding through his PEG.
10. On the day of discharge, the patient was found to have a
urinary tract infection (he has a chronic foley in place). Thus,
he was given Levaquin for 10 days for a complicated UTI.

Chief Complaint:
Altered mental status, fever and myalgias
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
29 year old man with no significant past medical history who
presents with altered mental status, fever and myalgias after
recent trip to [**University/College **]. As part of [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] Business School
trip, [**Known firstname 35861**] and approximately 150 classmates went to [**University/College **]
from [**4-17**] to [**4-25**]. Prior to leaving he went to Travel Clinic and
received vaccination for yellow fever and a few others which he
cannot recall. He received all the immunizations that were
recommended to him. While there he stayed at hotels and drank
bottled water for most of the trip. He does report that he used
ice and drank some tap water on the last day of his trip. He
reports that he and other travelers had bug bites, but does not
recall any ticks or other animal exposures. He [**Last Name (un) **] 2 days
worth of malaria prophylaxis while there, but self d/ced the
medication [**Last Name (un) **] being told the area he was in was low risk.
Overall he reports having no symptoms other than exhaustion and
a ? of heat rash throughout his stay in [**University/College **].
The day after returning home, he noted that his muscles felt
very sore as if he had been working out. He attended class but
was feeling ill and therefore went to UHS at the recommendation
of a friend. The physician there sent labs and [**Known firstname 35861**] returned
home. He reports not sleeping well overnight and waking up on
Tuesday morning with confusion. His muscle pain was gone, but he
was "incoherent". He called the UHS physician which he said took
him 6-7 minutes as he was disoriented and found it difficult to
dial the numbers. Per report, the UHS physician was very
concerned about how he sounded and called EMS.
At [**Hospital1 **], Temp was 101, and per records he was found to be
disoriented with expressive aphasia. CT and MRI/MRA were normal,
UTox negative, Blood smear negative for malaria or babesia. LP
performed with 6 WBC, 5 RBC, glucose 68, protein 48. He was
started empirically on ceftriaxone, vancomycin, acyclovir, and
dexamethasone. Transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further workup. He was
initially on the [**Hospital Ward Name **] Hospital Medicine Service but was
promptly transferred to ICU due to deteriorating mental status.
ID was consulted. As he had no signs of bacterial meningitis,
his antibiotic regimen was tailored to acyclovir (for possible
HSV) and doxycycline (for tick-borne pathogens).
He was transferred to the Hospital Medicine service on the [**Hospital Ward Name **], where he reported feeling better and felt his mental
status was improved to 80-90% of baseline. His muscle pain
completely resolved. He has a lingering headache but no other
current symptoms.
ROS: Denies current fever, chills, night sweats, vision changes,
rhinorrhea, congestion, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath,
chest pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
constipation, BRBPR, melena, hematochezia, dysuria, hematuria.
Otherwise negative.
Past Medical History:
Eczema
Wisdom tooth extraction
Social History:
He is a first year HBS student. He lives with his fiance in
[**Hospital1 8**]. He is sexually active only with his fiance, does not
use condoms and had a negative HIV test 6 years ago when he
first started dating her. He does not regularly smoke, but he
smokes [**1-29**] cigars per year. He drinks 1 alcoholic beverage per
night; typically has 1 glass of wine nightly with dinner.
He was raised as [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] Scientist and did not have any
immunizations until age 20 when he fell and was told to get a
tetanus shot. At that point in time he decided to get all of his
immunizations and believes he is up to date. He has traveled all
througout Europe, studied in New [**Country 6679**] and [**Country 26467**], and went
to [**Country 12603**] and [**Country 12602**] for work in [**2184-4-27**]. He went to Travel
Clinic before his trip to [**Female First Name (un) 8489**] and received all immunizations
recommended at that time.

Brief Hospital Course:
29 yo man with no past medical history presented with altered
mental status after a trip to [**University/College **], with concern for
encephalitis. Infectious work up thus far has been negative and
patient clinically improved back to baseline mental status. He
was discharged in stable condition with new PCP and infectious
disease follow up.
MICU course: The patient was sent from [**Hospital3 2568**] to the ED at
[**Hospital1 18**]. Given his altered mental status he was admitted to the
MICU for further monitoring. Upon arrival he was placed on
vancomycin, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, acyclovir, and doxycylcine.
LP had been performed at [**Hospital3 2568**] and CSF culture was
preliminarily negative. Infectious disease and neurology was
consulted. MRI was performed and was negative for acute
pathology. Clinically he was not oriented to person, place, or
time, and was very inattentive and mumbled his words. He was
hemodynamically stable. The chief concern was for viral
encephalitis. Multiple serologies and PCR were sent. However,
within 24hrs his mental status cleared markedly. Repeat LP and
MRI were deferred. He was subsequently tranferred to the
medical floor.
# Viral Encephalitis: As noted, LP results did not suggest a
bacterial meningitis and he was changed to only IV acyclovir and
IV doxycycline. His mental status rapidly improved and he was
transferred to the floor. A number of tests were ordered
including [**Doctor First Name **], Hepatitis A/B/C, HIV, RPR, measles, mumps, and
rubella; all negative. His CSF from [**Hospital3 **] had a gram stain
with no PMNs and no organisms seen. His CSF culture has no
growth to date. CSF cryptococcal antigen was negative and HSV
PCR was undetectable. Pending tests include CSF VZV, Dengue,
West [**Doctor First Name **], EEE, EBV, HHV6, CMV, and Enterovirus.
# Acute Renal Failure: On hospital day 3, creatinine was
elevated from 1.0 to 1.3. There was associated increase in BUN
from 7 to 13 and hyperphosphatemia. He had not been taking
adequate PO fluids and his IV infiltrated, so it was assumed to
be prerenal secondary to volume depletion. CPK was checked to
rule out rhabdomyolysis and was normal. Repeat creatinine was
1.4 then 1.3.
Medications on Admission:
Topical cream for eczema

Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 54 year-old
female tobacco user and other cardiac risk factors who
presented with chest pain, nausea, vomiting and diaphoresis.
The patient was in her usual state of health until the day
prior to admission when at 4:00 p.m. that day she noted 10
out of 10 stabbing nonradiating mid back infrascapular pain
lasting several minutes some relieved with raising arms.
This pain was not associated iwth shortness of breath,
nausea, vomiting or diaphoresis. The pain recurred several
times for the next several hours with exertion. The pain
became constant around 11:00 p.m. The evening of admission
the patient took some Maalox without relief. She had sudden
associated nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis and then developed
radiation of pain down into her arms. The patient went to an
outside hospital. Vital signs at the outside hospital showed
a heart rate of 52, blood pressure 101/55, respiratory rate
20. The patient was found to have ST elevations in 2, 3 and
F with depression in V1 through V3. The patient received
morphine, oxygen, aspirin and was started on heparin,
Integrilin and nitro drip. She was transferred to [**Hospital1 1444**] for catheterization. There
was a report of transient hypotension during transport.
In the catheterization laboratory the patient was found to
have a 99% proximal right coronary artery lesion that was
stented times two with TIMI three residual flow. The left
main coronary artery had 30% lesion, left anterior descending
coronary artery had minimal disease and the left circumflex
was normal. Hemodynamics showed wedge of 11, right
ventricular pressure of 35, PA pressure of 26/13 and a
cardiac index of 2.9. Her catheterization course was
complicated by the transient bradycardia to the 30s and
hypotension to the systolic blood pressure in the 60s without
symptoms. Pacing wires were placed though not used due to
the transient nature of the bradycardia. The patient was
then started on a Dopamine drip in the cardiac
catheterization laboratory, which was weaned by the time she
arrived in the coronary care unit, given fluids and presented
to the Coronary Care Unit chest pain free.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Total abdominal hysterectomy secondary
to uterine cancer, status post appendectomy.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: None.
ALLERGIES: The patient had no known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient has a fifteen to twenty pack
year tobacco history. No alcohol. No intravenous drug use.
The patient works as a nurses aid.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Noncontributory.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs on arrival in the Coronary
Care Unit, pulse 93, blood pressure 125/49, respiratory rate
14, sating 96% on 2 liters. The patient was generally alert
and oriented times three. Neck showed jugulovenous pressure
at 9 cm at a 30 degree angle. No carotid bruits were
appreciated. Chest was clear to auscultation anteriorly and
laterally. Cardiovascular examination revealed normal S1 and
S2. Regular rate. No murmurs. Abdomen was benign.
Extremities she had a right groin sheath with no ooze or
frank bleeding and palpable dorsalis pedis and posterior
tibial pulses bilaterally.
LABORATORY: Significant for a hematocrit of 30.6, platelets
288, INR 1.5, PTT of greater then 150. The patient's first
set of cardiac enzymes revealed a CK of 224, MB 65, MB index
of 8.5 and a troponin of 14.5. ECG showed sinus rhythm at [**Street Address(2) 44088**] elevations in 2, 3 and F, depressions in 1, L
and V1 through V3. Post catheterization ECG showed sinus
tachycardia at 100 with low voltage. No alternans with
complete resolution of ST changes. Catheterization report is
discussed fully in the history of present illness.
HOSPITAL COURSE: In short, this is a 54 year-old woman with
acute inferior myocardial infarction admitted to the Coronary
Care Unit status post stent times two to the right coronary
artery with resolution of chest pain and ST changes. Course
was complicated by transient bradycardia and hypotension
neither of which was a continuing issue after the patient
reached the Coronary Care Unit.
1. Coronary artery disease: The patient was on aspirin,
Plavix, Integrilin at the time of her admission to the
Coronary Care Unit. She was continued on aspirin for life,
Plavix for the next thirty days. Integrilin was stopped
after the first twelve hours. The patient was pain free.
Her CKs were cycled. Her maximum CK peaked at 500 and her
troponin at greater then 50. The patient remained pain free
throughout the course of her stay. The patient's lipid panel
was sent showing her lipids to be within normal limits,
however, she was started on low dose statin. Pump wise, the
patient had an echocardiogram following catheterization given
the low voltage on her electrocardiogram in the setting of
pacer placement. There was some concern about pericardial
effusion possibly perforation of the right ventricle, though
the patient had no signs or symptoms consistent with this.
Echocardiogram showed no pericardial effusion and a left
ventricular was preserved. Ejection fraction greater then
55% with no focal wall abnormalities. The patient was
initial continued on aggressive fluid to maintain her preload
in the setting of an inferior myocardial infarction and had
no further episodes of hypotension during the course of her
stay. The patient was started on an ace inhibitor and a beta
blocker. The patient normally has blood pressures in the
range of 90s to low 100s systolic and had difficulty
tolerating low dose Captopril without dropping her pressure
into the low 80s. Thus she was continued on low dose
Captopril only as tolerated, but tolerated her beta blocker
well.
Rhythm wise, the patient had multiple runs of nonsustained
ventricular tachycardia post procedure, the longest one being
around 20 beats. Because of this the patient was started on
Lidocaine and remained on Lidocaine for the first 24 hours of
her stay without further episodes of nonsustained ventricular
tachycardia. The patient was transferred to the floor on
[**2157-10-18**] and discharged home on [**2157-10-19**]. The patient is to
follow up with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] of the
Cardiology Department. The patient is discharged in good
health.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
Acute myocardial infarction.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Aspirin 325 mg po q day, Plavix 75 mg
po q day times twenty seven days, Lipitor 10 mg po q day,
lisinopril 2.5 mg po once a day, Metoprolol 12.5 mg po b.i.d.

old, G3, P0 woman. Prenatal screens included blood type 0
positive, antibody negative, Rubella immune, hepatitis B surface
antigen negative, RPR nonreactive, group beta strep status
unknown, and cystic fibrosis screen negative. Pregnancy was
achieved with in-[**Last Name (un) 5153**] fertilization assistance. The mother's
history is notable for uterine fibroids with two previous
myomectomies. This pregnancy was complicated by cervical
shortening at 17 weeks, treated with a cerclage placement amd bed
rest. She received betamethasone at 26 weeks gestation. The
mother presented early on the day of delivery with spontaneous
rupture of membranes. She was admitted to the [**Hospital1 346**] in labor; trial of tocolysis was
considered but decided against, and infant was eventually
delivered by c-section. Apgars were 9 at 1 minute and 9 at 5
minutes. The infant was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit for treatment of prematurity.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Upon admission to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, weight was 1.52 kg, length was 40.5 cm,
head circumference 29 cm, all 50th percentile for gestational
age. General: Non dysmorphic preterm male in mild
respiratory distress. HEENT: Anterior fontanel soft and
flat. Sutures mobile. Palate intact. Positive red reflex
bilaterally. Pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light

1. Respiratory: [**Known lastname **] was placed on continuous positive
airway pressure upon admission to the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit. He had increased work of breathing and was
electively intubated and received 2 doses of Surfactant.
He was extubated to continuous positive airway pressure on
day of life number 1. He remained on C-Pap through day of
life number 4 when he was transitioned to nasal cannula
oxygen, and then transitioned to room air on day of life
number 8. At the time of transfer, he continues on room air,
with respiratory rate of 60 to 70 breaths per minute. He is
also being treated for apnea of prematurity with caffeine. He
has had rare episodes of apnea/bradycardia and desaturation
during admission, last on [**7-3**].
2. Cardiovascular: [**Known lastname **] required a normal saline bolus
shortly after admission for decreased perfusion and low
blood pressure. His blood pressure stabilized and he has
maintained normal heart rates and blood pressures since
that time. Baseline heart rate is 150 to 170 beats per
minute. Recent blood pressure is 74 over 31 with a mean of
47. No murmurs have been noted.
3. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: [**Known lastname **] was initially
n.p.o. and maintained on intravenous fluids. Enteral feeds
were started on day of life number 1 and gradually
advanced to full volume. At the time of discharge, he is
taking 150 cc/kg/day of breast milk or premature Enfamil
fortified to 26 calories per ounce. His feedings are all
by gavage. Serum electrolytes were checked several times
during the first week of life and were within normal
limits. Weight on the day of discharge is 1.515 kg with a
corresponding length of 41.5 cm and a head circumference
of 28 cm.
4. Infectious disease: [**Known lastname **] was evaluated for sepsis upon
admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A complete
blood count initially had a white count of 8,800 with 5%
polys, 0% bands. This was repeated on day of life number
1 and the white count had increased to 14,100 with 40%
polys, 0% band neutrophils. A culture was obtained prior
to starting intravenous Ampicillin and Gentamycin. The
blood culture was no growth at 48 hours and the
antibiotics were discontinued.
5. Gastrointestinal: [**Known lastname **] required treatment for
unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy. Peak
serum bilirubin occurred on day of life number 3 with a
total of 10.2 over 0.3 mg/dl direct. He was treated with
phototherapy for approximately 96 hours. Phototherapy was
discontinued on [**2175-6-30**] and a rebound bilirubin in 24 hours
was a total of 6.3/0.3 mg/dl direct.
6. Hematologic: Hematocrit at birth was 55%. [**Known lastname **] has not
received any transfusions of blood products.
7. Neurologic: Head ultrasound was obtained on [**2175-7-3**], which
was normal. [**Known lastname **] has maintained a normal neurologic
examination during admission and there are no neurologic
concerns at the time of discharge.
8. Sensory: hearing screening has not yet been performed.
Opthalmologic examination screening for retinopathy of
prematurity is recommended at 4 to 5 weeks of age.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Transfer to [**Hospital **] Hospital for
continuing level II care. No primary pediatrician has yet
been selected.
CARE AND RECOMMENDATIONS AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE:

Service: Medicine
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Briefly, the patient is a
52-year-old gentleman with a past medical history of alcohol
abuse who was diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis on this
admission. He was admitted on [**10-3**] with eight episodes
of hematochezia and melena and one episode of hematemesis on
the day of admission.
The patient called the Emergency Medical Service. His blood
pressure was found to be 80/palp with a heart rate in the
130s. He was transferred to the Emergency Department.
Hemodynamically, the patient was stabilized.
In the Emergency Department, the patient's hematocrit was
found to be 16.9. The patient was transfused 4 units of
packed red blood cells, 4 units of fresh frozen plasma, and
intravenous proton pump inhibitor. He was started on an
octreotide drip and intravenous erythromycin. The patient
had an nasogastric tube lavage which was positive for bright
red blood. The Gastrointestinal Service was consulted for an
emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Alcohol abuse.
2. Question diabetes mellitus.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Multivitamin.
2. Vitamin A.
3. Vitamin B.
4. Vitamin C.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives with his partner. [**Name (NI) **]
drinks a 6-pack of alcohol and half a pint of gin every
evening for the past several years. He quit tobacco 10 years
ago. He has no history of intravenous drug use or illicit
drug use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Physical examination
on admission to the Medicine Service revealed the patient's
blood pressure was 131/78, his heart rate was 70, his
respiratory rate was 16, and his oxygen saturation was 96% on
room air. In general, the patient was a pleasant
African-American gentleman in no apparent distress. Head,
eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed he did have
scleral icterus. The oropharynx was clear. The mucous
membranes were moist. Cardiovascular examination revealed a
regular rate and rhythm. Respiratory examination revealed
the patient's lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally
with decreased breath sounds at the bases and crackles at the
left base. The abdomen was soft, distended, and nontender.
He had tympanitic bowel sounds throughout. There was no
hepatosplenomegaly. Extremity examination revealed he had 1+
edema to the his knees. His pulses were 2+.
PERTINENT LABORATORY VALUES ON PRESENTATION: Laboratories
on admission to the Medicine Service revealed the patient's
hematocrit was 30.3. His Chemistry-7 was within normal
limits. His INR was 1.8. His hepatology series was positive
for HBAB antibody. At this point, all cultures were negative
to date.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INTENSIVE CARE UNIT COURSE: At this point,
the patient was intubated for airway protection. The
esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed active bleeding from the
gastric varix. The patient had 2+ bleeding varus in the
esophagus. The bleeding site was injected with epinephrine
and morrhuate sodium to sclerose the varix; however, the
bleeding did not subside. He was then treated with
intravenous vasopressin and [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] tube was placed. The
[**Last Name (un) **] tube remained in place until [**10-4**]. He had no
more episodes of bleeding. The Pitressin was discontinued;
however, the patient remained to be hypertensive. A sepsis
workup ensued, and he was started on Levophed as his
hypertension did not respond to fluid boluses.
On [**10-5**], the patient had a right upper quadrant
ultrasound to see if there was enough ascites to tap.
Minimal fluid was tapped. At this point, the patient became
febrile. An echocardiogram was done which showed that he had
no vegetations, but there was possibly a left lower lobe
pneumonia. Therefore, the patient was started intravenous
antibiotics.
On [**10-6**], the [**Last Name (un) **] tube was removed. During his
Intensive Care Unit course, the patient was weaned off
pressors. He was dependent on fresh frozen plasma during his
hospital course due to his coagulopathy secondary to his
liver disease.
On the evening of [**10-7**], the patient was extubated. He
tolerated this well. His vital signs were stable. His
hematocrit had been stable in the 30s for over 24 hours, so
the patient was called out to the Medicine floor for further
treatment.
CONCISE SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM:
1. GASTROINTESTINAL/VARICEAL BLEED ISSUES: The patient was
followed by the Liver Service throughout his hospital course.
His hematocrit levels had remained stable. He was maintained
on twice per day Protonix.
He had a repeat endoscopy on [**10-9**] which showed that he
had varices or cardia at the gastroesophageal junction and at
the lower one-third of the esophagus. This varix was banded
successfully. He also had an ulcer in the gastroesophageal
junction and cardia and blood in the body and antrum of his
stomach.
The patient was started on carafate 1 g four times per day.
He was continued on Protonix twice per day, and he was
started on nadolol and titrated up as tolerated. However,
during his hospital course the nadolol had to be discontinued
given that he had worsening renal function. In order to
maximize renal perfusion, the nadolol was discontinued.
Per the patient's computed tomography, it appeared that the
patient had chronic pancreatitis. He did have significant
steatorrhea during his hospital stay; however, he was
asymptomatic.
2. INFECTIOUS DISEASE ISSUES: The patient had spiked a
fever on [**2138-10-6**] and was continued on ceftriaxone
and vancomycin in the Intensive Care Unit. As his cultures
had been negative for any suspicious organisms, his
vancomycin was discontinued, and he was continued on
ceftriaxone during his hospital course.
He had a repeat paracentesis done on [**10-11**] which showed
no evidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. He
remained afebrile and was completing the course for his left
lower lobe pneumonia.
The patient had been on stress-dose steroids in the Intensive
Care Unit. On [**10-10**], as it appeared that the patient
had not been septic and remained afebrile, his stress-dose
steroids were discontinued.
3. PULMONARY ISSUES: The patient was extubated on [**10-7**]. He had no respiratory issues during his Medicine Service
stay.
4. ENDOCRINE ISSUES: For the patient's diabetes mellitus ?
secondary to steroid use ? previous to his admission, he
remained on fingersticks four times per day and an insulin
sliding-scale as needed.
5. RENAL ISSUES: During the [**Hospital 228**] hospital course, he
had acute renal failure which started on [**10-9**]. His
creatinine increased to 1.1. The source of his renal failure
was unclear. Initially, this was thought to be an acute
tubular necrosis secondary to his hypotension while in the
Intensive Care Unit; however, it persisted so it was likely
secondary to hepatorenal syndrome.
The patient's diuretics were discontinued. he was started on
intravenous albumin infusions daily. He was continued on his
octreotide in order to maximize renal perfusion.
During his hospital course, upon until [**10-12**], the
patient's creatinine continued to rise. Therefore, on
[**10-12**], the nadolol was discontinued and he was started
on Trental 400 mg by mouth three times per day and midodrine
75 mg by mouth three times per day.
6. FLUIDS/ELECTROLYTES/NUTRITION ISSUES: The patient
remained nothing by mouth during his hospital stay in the
Intensive Care Unit. His diet was advanced on [**10-11**],
and the patient tolerated this well.
The Medicine Service tried to optimize his nutritional status
with additional Boost supplements and Mighty shakes.
7. HEMATOLOGIC/COAGULOPATHY ISSUES: The patient was
admitted with an INR of 2.6, and it appeared that he was
dependent on fresh frozen plasma in order to reverse his
coagulopathy; however, during his hospital course an empiric
trial of vitamin K was started on [**10-9**].
8. CONSULTATION ISSUES: The Addiction Service and Social
Work were consulted, and the patient will likely continue
with an outpatient detoxification treatment.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Alcoholic cirrhosis.
2. Ascites.
3. Alcohol abuse; continuous.
4. Acute renal failure secondary to hepatorenal syndrome.
5. Coagulopathy.
6. Esophagitis.
7. Hypoalbuminemia.
8. Esophageal varices with bleed.
9. Hypophosphatemia; repleted.
10. Hypokalemia; repleted.
NOTE: The patient was to be discharged at a later date, and
someone else will complete the Discharge Summary at that
time.

HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Non ST elevation myocardial infarction - The patient
underwent cardiac catheterization which revealed three vessel
coronary artery disease, elevated left and right sided
filling pressures with right ventricular end diastolic
pressure of 17, left ventricular filling pressures were also
elevated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 31. The
patient had 40 to 50% left main stenosis, left anterior
descending artery was occluded at the origin. The circumflex
had a 70% lesion with an occluded OM1 branch. The right
coronary artery had a 90% proximal lesion. Both saphenous
vein grafts to the posterior descending artery and the OM1
were widely patent. The proximal ramus branch was
successfully stented. The patient was placed on Aspirin and
Plavix. In addition, his Metoprolol XL was titrated up to 75
mg once daily. He was continued on his statin, his ace
inhibitor and his nitrate. He will follow-up with his
outpatient cardiologist in one to two weeks.
2. Congestive heart failure - The patient has an ejection
fraction of 20% and elevated pulmonary capillary wedge
pressure. After his cardiac catheterization, the patient
developed mild pulmonary edema and increased shortness of
breath. He was diuresed with additional intravenous Lasix
and a negative to even fluid balance was maintained
throughout the remainder of his hospital stay. He was
continued on a two gram sodium diet and a fluid restriction
of 1.5 liters. He was continued on his ace inhibitor and his
Toprol XL as well as his Digoxin and daily 40 mg of Lasix.
3. Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia - The patient had
multiple short episodes of nonsustained ventricular
tachycardia after his catheterization. However, he also had
one episode of 50 minutes of nonsustained hemodynamically
stable ventricular tachycardia that spontaneously converted.
He was evaluated by electrophysiology cardiology and was
taken to the electrophysiology laboratory for ablation
therapy. In addition, an ICD was placed and was programmed
to attempt to overdrive pace his ventricular tachycardia
multiple times before shocking as his nonsustained
ventricular tachycardia is asymptomatic. On the day of
discharge, the patient was started on new antiarrhythmic,
Amiodarone. He will take 400 mg p.o. daily of Amiodarone for
the first twenty-eight days and he will then be switched to
200 mg of Amiodarone daily. AST and ALT were ordered upon
discharge and his liver function tests should be followed as
an outpatient. In addition, the patient was instructed to
call and schedule pulmonary function tests within one week of
discharge.
4. Atrial fibrillation - The patient has had chronic atrial
fibrillation. His Coumadin was held for his
electrophysiology study and was restarted after his ICD was
placed. He was given one dose of 5 mg q.h.s. and then was
started on new daily dose of 2 mg a day. He will have his
INR checked within four to five days at the [**Hospital 197**] Clinic
at [**Hospital3 3583**] where this result will be called to his
primary care physician. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] patient will have a follow-up
appointment at the Device Clinic on [**2161-9-18**].
5. Hypothyroidism - The patient was continued on his
outpatient dose of Levoxyl throughout his admission.

HOSPITAL SUMMARY: The patient was initially admitted to the
hospital on [**2186-2-7**] for hypothermia, hypotension, and
sepsis protocol. The patient was brought to the hospital by
her son because she had had a slurring of her speech which
had resolved by the time she arrived at the hospital.
In the hospital the patient was fluid resuscitated initially,
and her blood pressure improved. However, she became
hypotensive again and required intermittent pressors for
blood pressure support. The patient had an echocardiogram
which revealed severe pulmonary hypertension with RV
dysfunction. In the setting of fluid resuscitation, she
developed bilateral pleural effusions.
The patient had a diagnostic and therapeutic thoracentesis on
[**2186-2-8**] which was complicated by a pneumothorax requiring
a right anterior chest tube. She had a bronchoscopy which
showed a large amount of mucus plugs. She was diuresed under
the guidance of a Swan Ganz catheter, and she underwent a
trial of vasodilators with nitric oxide and Viagra for
pulmonary hypertension. However, she did not respond, and
she was felt not to be a candidate for ............ therapy.
She was extubated on [**2186-2-10**], transferred out of the
Medical Intensive Care Unit on [**2186-2-11**] in stable
condition. She was on the floor until [**2186-2-13**] when she
was found to be hypoxic, hypotensive, and tachycardiac.
Chest x-ray was done at that time which showed left lung
collapse secondary to mucus plugging.
The patient initially on hospital admission was "Do Not
Resuscitate"/"Do Not Intubate," but her family had reversed
her code status. At the time of worsening medical
deterioration on [**2186-2-13**], discussions were held with the
family about her code status and whether or not they would
want her to be rebronched, and the patient and the family
decided on [**2186-2-14**] that they did not want any further
intervention, so the patient was not bronched.
The hypotension at that time responded to fluid boluses.
However, on [**2186-2-14**] at 9 p.m. the patient became
unresponsive, her heart rate decreased to the 40s, and she
had no blood pressure. The patient had fixed and dilated
pupils, no breath sounds, no pulse, no heart sounds. Time of
death was 8:54 p.m. Her sons were notified.

History of Present Illness:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 76318**] is a 74 year old woman with past medical
history significant for rheumatoid arthritis (on chronic
prednisone), asthma, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, presenting
from rehab facilty after being found to have altered mental
status and bright red blood per rectum.
Per transfer notes, patient was intially taken to [**Hospital 1474**]
hospital where she was evaluated for abdominal pain. Vitals on
arrival 94/52, 83, 14, 98 F. Given her altered mental status, CT
head was performed with preliminary read raising the question of
a basal ganglia hemorrhage. Labs there revealed AST 103 / ALT

size. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are
normal. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Left ventricular systolic
function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). Diastolic function could not
be assessed. There is an abnormal systolic flow contour at rest,
but no left ventricular outflow obstruction. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Hyperdynamic LV systolic dysfunction with an
abnormal systolic flow contour without LVOT gradient. Mild
mitral regurgitation. Mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension.
PICC Line placement [**2132-5-2**]: Uncomplicated ultrasound and
fluoroscopically guided single-lumen PICC line placement via the
right basilic venous approach. Final internal length is 36 cm
with the tip positioned in the SVC. The line is ready to use.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs [**Known lastname 76318**] is a 74 year old woman with rheumatoid
arthritis, asthma, hypertension, presenting from [**Hospital1 **] with
question of basal gangia ICH, found not to have any intracraneal
process but having abdominal pain, leukocytosis, bright red
blood per rectum.
# MRSA Sepsis - Patient was initially admitted to the ICU with
GI bleed and was quickly transitioned to the floor once her Hct
was stable. On the floor, GI planned for a colonoscopy, but
during the prep, she triggered for hypotension, tachypnia with
anxiety and altered mental status. She was transfered to the
ICU, started on levaphed and her vitals were T: 100.8 BP: 116/50
on 0.3 of levo P: 90 R: 18 O2: 100% on 3L NC. A Left IJ was
placed and her Right IJ, which was placed in the ED for access
due to GIB, was pulled. She was given 6 liters of IV fluid and
was off of pressors by the next morning. She was started on
Vanc/Zosyn. Blood cultures grew out 4/4 bottles of MRSA
(presumed from initial CVL) with GNR in [**11-25**] bottles. A TTE
showed mildly thickened mitral valve, but no evidence of
valvular vegitation. She defervesed and was tranfered from the
ICU on Vanc/Zosyn. Zosyn was discontinued and the patient was
continued on Vancomycin for a planned six week total course for
line infection. Her surveillance blood cultures remained
negative at the time of discharge. The decision was made to
treat for six weeks (a full course for endocarditis) as the
patient did not want to undergo further invasive procedures
including TEE. The patient will follow up with Infectious
Disease Clinic after her course of Vancomycin to monitor for
recurrence of infection. In addition to endocarditis, there
remains a concern for potential seeding of her artifical joints
(knees and hips). Her white count was trending down throught the
day of discharge.
# New Atrial fibrillation with RVR: During fluid resuscitation
in the ICU, the patient developed a-fib with RVR in the setting
of pressors. Amiodarone bolus and drip were started and on day
2, metoprolol was started. This was titrated up to 25 mg TID
and the patient converted back into sinus rhythm briefly. Over
the course of her 3rd night in the ICU, her rhythm continued to
flip back and forth between sinus and a-fib, but primarily in
sinus with rates of 80s. She was discharged with heart rate in
the 70's on 12.5mg twice daily of Metoprolol, which may titrated
up if needed.
# GI bleeding: She was initially sent to the ICU for a
questionable history of melena, she had no melena during a
period of observation and no significant HCT drop to suggest an
upper GI bleed. She did have bright red blood per rectum and on
exam a rectal fissure and hemorrhoids. In the ICU she underwent
an EGD which revealed esophageal candidiasis. She was then
transferred to the floor where she underwent a prep for a
colonoscopy, but decompensated as above. She had possible
proctitis on CT scan and treated with cipro flagyl. GI followed
and did not want to do colonoscopy in setting of sepsis. She
expressed a desire to limit invasive testing and due to the fact
that she had a recent (2 years ago) colonoscopy which did not
show any masses, it was felt that colonoscopy could be deferred
at this time. Her HCT remained stable throughout the remainder
of the admission. On [**2132-5-6**] she received one unit of pRBC's for
a HCT of 22.7 for symptommatic relief. There was no evidence of
continued bleeding at the time of discharge. It recommended for
her to have weekly CBC checked for HCT monitoring.
# Hyperbilirubinemia / elevated transaminases: The patient is
status-post cholecystectomy, however this does not exclude
intrabiliary obstruction. Gastroenterology was consulted and
LFTs were trended. At discharge, her LFTs were slowly improving.
She is negative Ab for autoimmune hepatitis, PSC, and viral
hepatitis. The differential includes drug induced liver disease
(methimazole and AZT ?????? recently discontinued, chronic prednisone
?????? recently lowered) or possibly congestive hepatitis. Her
methimazole was held on this admission. If her TSH, T3 and T4
remain within normal limits, this will not be restarted.
# [**Female First Name (un) 564**] Esophagitis: Seen on intial EGD - likely due to
chronic prednisone. She was treated with fluconazole, and
completed a 10 day course starting from [**2132-4-24**].
# Arthritis, rheumatoid (RA): On prednisone 10mg daily at
baseline. Initially she presented on 40mg PO prednisone for
question of COPD flare, and this was tapered in the setting of
GI bleed. Her steriods were transiently increased to stress
doses in the ICU for possible adrenal insufficiency in the face
of long standing steriod use, but once septic picture presented
itself, prednisone was restarted at 5mg [**Hospital1 **].
# Hypertension: Initially on telemetry the patient had short
bursts of a long PR narrow complex tachycardia, likely causes
are atrial tachycardia, AVRT or uncommon AVNRT. Lisinopril was
held, and initially metoprolol was held as well during
hypotension, but restarted in the face of A-fib with RVR.
Metoprolol was titrated up to acheive rate control and at
discharge was titrated back down to 12.5mg [**Hospital1 **]. This may be
titrated as needed.
# Anasarca: The patient received +7L while in ICU. She is
clearly edematous and has been diruesed approximately 3L since
arriving to floor. The plan is to continue gentle diruesis as
this is helping with her anasarca and her assoiciated pain. It
should be noted that she is incontinent, making monitoring of
urine output difficult. She should be regularly bladder scanned
and straight cath performed if needed. Please avoid foley as
this would be an additional source of potential infection.
# Leg pain: Likely due to anasarca and patient states it is new
pain and not in ankle (ie- not due to RA). She is asking for
pain control and clearly bothered by the pain. Low dose opiate
has been started though she is worried about somnolence with
these medications. Please use low doses as needed.

History of Present Illness:
HPI: 74 y/o male with hx of CAD, HTN, s/p PM for sick sinus
syndrome, CRI s/p nephrectomy who was recently discharged from
[**Hospital1 18**] [**2124-1-18**] now returns from OSH after being intubated for CHF,
initially hypotensive after lasix given then became hypertensive
and also found to have + blood from NGT.
.
During previous admission patient admitted for abdominal pain
underwent EGD and c-scope and found to have multiple
diverticulae and gastritis. Shortly after EGD patient had
respiratory failure was intubated thought to be [**1-14**] CHF,
extubated the next day. Patient also thought to have NSTEMI
which was medically managed and patient eventually discharged
[**2124-1-18**].
.
Patient presented to OSH with presumed CHF after being
hypertensive and was intubated. Per daughter patient missed his
blood pressure medications the day of admission. Patient denies
any fever,chills, coughs or gradual SOB prior to event. He
recieved lasix at home and then en route however still SOB in ED
so was put on Bipap and then intubated. During his admission at
OSH his BP has been labile with hypertension SBP 190s. Patient
started on nitro gtt for BP control and got lopressor 5mg x3.
At OSH CXR showed initially diffuse infiltrates c/w pulmonary
edema vs PNA; repeat CXR the following day showed improved
infiltrates. Patient's peak TropI was 1.8 and CK 68 at OSH.
EKG done at OSH showed pattern c/w LVH and more pronounced ST
depression in lateral leads. Repeat EKG done on arrival to
[**Hospital1 18**] was similar to old EKGs. Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] patient on
minimal vent support with well controlled BP on nitro gtt.

P-MIBI ([**2124-1-27**]):
No anginal symptoms with an uninterpretable ECG for ischemia.
There is a mild fixed perfusion defect involving the inferior
and inferolateral walls. The left ventricle is moderately
dilated at stress and rest and there is global hypokinesis with
a calculated LVEF of 35%.
.
TTE ([**2124-1-24**]):
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is mildly
dilated. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall
motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (LVEF 50%).
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is
moderate aortic valve stenosis (area 0.8-1.19cm2). Moderate (2+)
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. Mild (1+) eccentric mitral regurgitation is
seen. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
.
Renal ultrasound (with Dopplers) [**2124-1-24**]:
2.0 cm cyst of the right renal lower pole. Otherwise, normal
appearance of the right kidney with patent vasculature and no
son[**Name (NI) 493**] evidence of
renal artery stenosis. Surgically absent left kidney.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 41957**] was transferred to the [**Hospital1 18**] CCU intubated. Upon
arrival, he had a favorable ABG and wsa quickly extubated
without difficulty. His BP was intially controlled with a
nitroglycerin drip which was slowly weaned off over the first
night of his hospitalization. On the morning of hospital day
#2, he became acutely short of breath with acute development of
pulmonary edema at the same time that his blood pressure
suddenly rose to 220-240/100-120. He was given IV Lasix and
metoprolol and his nitroglycerin drip was quickly titrated back
up. He was put on BiPAP with improvement in his oxygenation.
Over the course of the day, he was weaned easily off BiPAP. The
focus at this point became controlling his hypertension which
was done with a high dose of Toprol XL, increasing his dose of
Imdur, and starting him on amlodipine. He was temporarily
controlled on PO hydralazine but this was titrated off due to
his history of poor medication compliance. His history of a
nephrectomy precluded the use of an ACEi or [**Last Name (un) **]. As far as
working up the etiology of his refractory hypertension, a renal
ultrasound showed no evidence of renal artery stenosis and a
random cortisol level was within normal limits; a 24-hour urine
collecion had normal levels of VMA and metanephrines. For his
presumed coronary artery disease, he underwent a pharmacologic
stress test which showed only a mild fixed defect in the
inferior/inferolateral walls along with an LVEF of 35%. He was

EGD
Esophagus:
Mucosa: Abnormal mucosa was noted in the distal esophagus with
erythema and friability consistant with moderate esophagitis.
Stomach:
Mucosa: Two blood clots were noted below the GE junction with
no evidence of active bleeding. One hemostatic clip was placed
and 4 ml of epinephrine were injected into the mucosa underneath
one of the clots.
Duodenum:
Mucosa: Normal mucosa was noted.
Impression: Abnormal mucosa in the esophagus
Abnormal mucosa in the stomach
Normal mucosa in the duodenum
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum
Brief Hospital Course:
41 y/o male with EtOH cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis, who
presented to an OSH with hematemesis. He was recently discharged
from [**Location (un) 3320**] Corrections three days PTA. On the morning of
admission, he spoke with his mother who reported that he sounded
well. Later that day, he felt sick and had several episodes of
hematemesis (approx 900 cc with 8+ episodes). He then went to
[**Hospital3 3583**] for further care. At the OSH, his VS were stable
as was his Hct. He reportedly had a transfusion reaction when
getting 1 U PRBCs (chest redness and tremors). He was
subsequently intubated and transferred to [**Hospital1 18**].
.
Of note, patient was admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] in [**2129-10-20**] with
an upper GI bleed. At that time an upper endoscopy revealed
severe esophagitis, probably portal hypertensive gastropathy but
no evidence of varices. Patient reports that he had an admission
at [**Hospital3 3583**] 1-2 months ago for hematemesis and at the
time the EGD revealed varices.
.
In the ED, initial VS were significant for tachycardia into the
110's. He was given 1 L NS, started on an octreotide gtt, and
given 1 gm CTX IV.
.
MICU course: He was extubated on arrival successfully. His VS
remained stable although HR was in the 110's. He was continued
on an octreotide gtt overnight and kept NPO. He had an EGD
[**2130-3-25**] which revealed 2 clots at the GE junction (no active
bleeding); epi was injected and clips were placed. The
octreotide gtt was stopped and the patient was continued on IV
PPI only. His Hct remained stable and he required no further
transfusions. During his course he has had persistent abdominal
pain, c/w pancreatitis, and was kept NPO with sips only and
given dilaudid for pain. He has required ativan per CIWA for
withdrawal approx q3 hours.
.
# Hematemesis - His hematemesis was most likely due to
esophagitis and portal gastropathy, with abnormal mucosa at the
GE junction. There was no evidence of varices on EGD. His Hct
remained stable while on the medical floor and patient had been
hemodynamically stable. Initially after his endoscopy his had
further episodes of hematemesis and there was a question of
re-scoping but as his Hct stabilized this was not felt to be
indicated. He was on a PPI IV bid, and he had antiemetics prn.
He started tolerating a clear liquid diet which was slowly
advanced and he was felt to be stable for discharge.
.
# Abdominal pain - His pain was consistent with a prior history
of pancreatitis, patient reports flares 1-2x/month.
Lipase/amylase not elevated, possibly [**1-21**] chronic pancreatitis.
His diet was slowly advanced and his pain was controlled with IV
dilaudid initially then po dilaudid.
.
# Cirrhosis - Secondary to EtOH, patient with ongoing EtOH
abuse. INR mildly elevated but albumin normal, suggesting intact
synthetic function.
His coags/platelets and albumin were followed and platelets were
maintained above 50, with FFP given for INR>1.5. He also
received lasix and aldactone but they commonly had to be held
due to borderline blood pressure (systolic 100's).
The liver service followed him while he was hospitalized but he
is not currently adherent to therapy.
.
# Thrombocytopenia - His baseline platelets normal around 200
back in [**10-27**], now down to 80's. This is likely due to worsening
cirrhosis and possible marrow suppression from EtOH. There is no
evidence of hemolysis as Hct has been stable. Hemolysis labs
were negative and platelets were kept above 50 given his active
bleeding on admission.
.
# EtOH abuse -He was maintained on an ativan CIWA (avoiding
valium given cirrhosis) as patient high-risk to withdraw. He
continued thiamine/folate/MVI; and switched to po's once taking
po's. SW was consulted and assisted the medical team in
obtaining a shelter for him to be discharged to.
.
# ?Adrenal insufficiency - The patient was unsure of history,
noted to be on hydrocortisone, which was confirmed with his
pharmacy. On contacting his PCP (Dr. [**MD Number(4) 75518**] last saw him
in [**Month (only) 359**]), the diagnosis began on a prolonged ICU stay at
[**Hospital3 **] a year ago. At times he does not take the
steroids and his blood pressure maintains SBP 100's. He
initially had been on hydrocortisone but upon learning this a
prednisone taper was initiated.

CTA [**2134-5-23**]:
CONCLUSION: No evidence of infarction on the non-contrast CT
scan.
Profound prolongation of mean transit time throughout the left
middle cerebral artery distribution. The blood volume appears
largely preserved, although somewhat decreased in the anterior
temporal lobe.
Occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery during its M1
course, just distal to the origin of an anterior temporal
branch.
CT head [**2134-5-24**]:
FINDINGS: There is mild prominence of the ventricles and sulci
in an atrophic pattern. There is no evidence of hemorrhage or
acute infarction.
There is a tiny focal hypodensity in the left putamen,
suggesting an old lacunar infarction. There have been no
significant changes since the head CT of [**2134-5-23**].
CXR [**2134-5-27**]:
There is significant improvement in previously demonstrated
severe pulmonary edema being now of a mild degree. Bilateral
pleural effusions are again noted. The heart size is markedly
enlarged but stable and the patient is after CABG.
CONCLUSION: No evidence of hemorrhage or recent infarction.
CT C-spine [**2134-5-24**]:
FINDINGS: Alignment is normal. No fractures are identified.
There are mild degenerative changes in the cervical spine that
cause mild narrowing of the spinal canal but no suggestion of
spinal cord compression. Noncontrast CT has limited intraspinal
soft tissue resolution and cannot evaluate the possibility of
disc, hematoma, or other soft tissue abnormalities inside the
spinal canal. There are large bilateral pleural effusions,
incompletely evaluated on this study.
CONCLUSION: No evidence of fracture or subluxation
Echocardiogram [**2134-5-24**]:
The left atrium is elongated. No left atrial mass/thrombus seen
(best excluded by transesophageal echocardiography). Left
ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function
are normal (LVEF>55%). Regional left ventricular wall motion is
normal. [Intrinsic left ventricular systolic function is likely
more depressed given the severity of mitral regurgitation.] The
aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic
stenosis is not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
There is no mitral valve prolapse. Moderate to severe (3+)
mitral
regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery
systolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. Preserved
global and
regional biventricular systolic function. Moderate pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. No left atrial mass/thrombus seen.
Right knee x-ray [**2134-5-27**]:
Degenerative changes of the right knee including medial
compartment joint space narrowing. No definite fracture is seen;
previous finding reflected a projecting osteophyte.
Chondrocalcinosis.
Brief Hospital Course:
Hospital Course:
1. Neurology: Patient received IV TPA in ED for NIHSS of 15 and
admitted to Neurology ICU for observation and post-IV TPA
protocol. Patient was noted to have no neurological deficits
within 24 hours. She was noted to have atrial fibrillation on
admission and stroke was thought to be cardioembolic in
etiology. The patient was started on heparin and coumadin. Once
INR was therapeutic heparin discontinued and patient continued
on Coumadin 3 mg po qday. She was transferred to the floor once
medically stable. Lipid panel TG 86, HDL 43, and LDL 75, Hgb A1c
5.7%. She worked with PT/OT once her knee pain improved.
2. CV: Echocardiogram done and showed moderate to severe mitral
regurgitation and moderate pulmonary hypertension. She was
treated with Lasix as needed for moderate to severe pulmonary
edema which improved to mild pulmonary edema on repeat CXR. She
was ruled out for MI with cardiac enzymes x 3.
3. Respiratory: Patient was on oxygen nasal cannula during the
duration of hospitalization which was thought to be related to
pulmonary edema. She was treated with intermittent Lasix.
4. FEN/GI: Tolerated regular diet.
5. MSK: Patient had a fall after stroke. She had C-spine CT
which was read as no evidence of fracture. She complained of
right knee pain. X-rays showed that there was DJD but no
evidence of fracture. She was placed in knee immobilizer and
worked with PT/OT.
6. Rehab: Given's patient's deconditioning during this hospital
stay, it was though she would benefit from inpatient
rehabilitation.

Room. Lungs were clear to percussion and auscultation.
Heart rate was regular in rate and rhythm. Abdominal
examination was soft, nontender with no organomegaly. The
extremities showed a right foot to be slightly cyanotic with
no evidence of Doppler pulses in the dorsalis pedis or
posterior tibials. There was a scar on the leg from previous
surgery and there was eschar at the heel. The left foot was
warm. The remainder of the physical examination was rather
limited due to the condition of the patient's
unresponsiveness and the urgency of taking the patient to the
Operating Room.
LABORATORY: Preoperatively, her hematocrit was 33. Chem-7
was stable. Coagulation studies were considered stable with
a PT of 12.9 and PTT of 21.6. INR 1.2. The urinalysis was
negative. Urine cultures were obtained. Lactate was 1.7,
glucose 218.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Due to the clinical findings, the patient
was taken urgently to the Operating Room where, under general
endotracheal anesthesia, the patient underwent a left sided
craniotomy with evacuation of subdural hematoma. The patient
tolerated the procedure well and went to the Neurology
Intensive Care Unit in stable condition, but remained
essentially intubated and unresponsive to all but noxious
stimuli, for which she showed occasional withdrawal of the
extremities.
During the [**Hospital 228**] hospital course, she showed at several
occasions throughout the remainder of the hospitalization,
the pupils were noted to be 3 mm and reactive to 2 mm with
brisk withdrawal of the right arm and spontaneous movement of
the bilateral lower extremities and a flicker of movement of
the left arm. She did not open eyes spontaneously to
command; occasionally would open eyes to sternal rub, but did
not follow commands. Due to the clinical findings and the
gravity of the situation, a discussion was held with the
family and a decision was made to provide no heroic measures.
The patient was subsequently extubated and transferred to the
Hospital Floor on the [**2173-3-3**], and later on
the 30th, the family decided to continue with comfort
measures only. The patient never regained evidence of
neurologic function beyond that described previously. Her
examination continued to show limited spontaneous movement
with the patient never opening her eyes to noxious stimuli.
She developed mild tachycardia early on the [**3-4**]
with decreased breath sounds in the right side and remained
comatose until approximately 08:57 a.m. on the [**2173-3-4**], when the patient was found to have expired.

lymph node biopsy
History of Present Illness:
24 year old F with no significant past pulmonary history who was
admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2117-2-24**] with increasing hemoptysis. She was
recently admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] with fevers, neck stiffness, chest
pain, and headache. She underwent an extensive work-and treated
empirically for CAP. She was thought to have had a viral
infection.
.
Since she has left the hospital, she has continued to have
fever, night sweats, and has had 8lbs weight loss. She has also
in the last week developed hemopysis. She first noted one
episode one week ago. She had recurrent episodes three days,
every night this week. Episodes occurred at night so she was
unable to quanititate the amount of blood loss, until the day of
admission when she had two episodes of approximately [**11-25**] cup of
bright red blood. Patient reports today that the volume of
blood did not change over the course of the week, and was more
concerned about the increasing frequency of symptoms. However,
per [**Company 191**] note on [**2-23**] patient as reporting one tablespoon of
hemoptysis prior to recent outpatient visit. Patient denies any
chest pain, shortness of breath. She denies , nausea, vomiting,
hematemesis, or blood in stools.
.
Of note, patient's recent evaluation for fevers, chest pain,
headache and neck stiffness eventually attributed for viral
syndrome included the following workup. She underwent extensive
workup including rule out for ACS, CHF, PE, and pericardial
effusion. She also had an extensive infectious workup with head
and neck imaging, EGD, fiberoptic endoscopy, LP which were
overall unrevealing. CT chest showed evidence calcified lymph
nodes near the airways suggestive of prior histoplasmosis.
Patient as treated for CAP with ceftriaxone and azithromycin.
She was followed by the ID team.
.
In the ED, initial VS were stable. She was initially admitted
to the medical floor. She was evaluated by pulmonology, however
given increasing volume of hemoptysis, patient was transferred
to the MICU for monitoring.
.
On arrival to the MICU, patient appeared well, complained of a
headache and mild nausea without emesis. Bedside basin with
three to four quarter sized block clots from hemoptysis. She
was shortly after taken away for CT Chest.
.

RIGID BRONCH [**2117-2-26**]:
24 yo female with likely fibrosing mediastinitis and submassive
hemoptysis underwent Rigid bronchoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy,
showing Splayed main and right main carinas. At the distal [**Hospital1 **],
there was a rounded area of mucosal extrinsic compression that
bled easily to light bronchoscopic contact. Evaluation of all
airways to subsegmental level and with application of suction
did not show evidence of parenchymal origin of hemoptysis. There
was no evidence of a broncholith and no endobronchial lesions or
thrombus. EBUS showed a large calcified station 7 node, not
sampled. Station 11R enlarged lymph node underwent EBUS TBNA
with minimal bleeding. Argon plasma coagulation to the mucosa at
the [**Hospital1 **] that was bleeding was used to control bleeding with
complete hemostasis.
MRI HEAD: Normal brain MRI. No evidence of infection or mass.
FLOW CYTOMETRY IMMUNOPHENOTYPING
The following tests (antibodies) were performed: HLA-DR, FMC-7,
Kappa, Lambda, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 16, 19, 20, 23, 45 and 56.
RESULTS:
Three color gating is performed (light scatter vs. CD45) to
optimize lymphocyte yield. T cells comprise 90% of lymphoid
gated events.
INTERPRETATION
Non-specific T cell dominant lymphoid profile; diagnostic
immunophenotypic features of involvement by leukemia/lymphoma
are not seen in specimen. Correlation with clinical findings and
morphology (see S12-16115N) is recommended. Flow cytometry
immunophenotyping may not detect all lymphomas due to
topography, sampling or artifacts of sample preparation.

Brief Hospital Course:
24 year old female with calcified pulmonary lumph nodes and
moderate hemoptysis concerning for chronic histoplasmosis
# Hemoptysis: Pt presented with hemoptysis, and transferred to
the MICU for monitoring shortly after arrival. She subsequently
underwent CT torso on [**2-25**] which showed increase in size of
partly calcified subcarinal lymph node, as well as a new partly
calcified right hilar lymph node and right infrahilar lymph
node. It was generally thought that this could be a presentation
of histoplasmosis, perhaps on some spectrum of fibrosing
mediastinitis vs mediastinal granuloma as opposed to active
pulmonary histo. She underwent bronchoscopy on [**2-25**] which
revealed a rounded area of mucosal extrinsic compression in the
distal bronchus intermedius that bled easily to light
bronchoscopic contact. This could also be seen on the CT and was
consistent with a broncholith extruding from the calcified
subcarinal lymph node. Evaluation of all airways to subsegmental
level and with application of suction did not show evidence of
parenchymal origin of hemoptysis. She underwent biopsy of a
station 11R enlarged lymph node with minimal bleeding. She
underwent Argon plasma coagulation to the mucosa at the bronchus
intermedius with hemostasis. Biopsies were taken and showd
normal lymph node tissue. She was transferred to the floor
after this procedure where she remained stable and her
hemoptysis had decreased to scant amounts. Consults were
obtained from ID, pulm, IP, and CT surgery and extensive
discussions were held regarding the likely underlying etiology
of the mediastinal process and the risk of bleeding if
broncholith was fully resected. Since the area had only been
cauterized as a temporizing measure, it was considered likely
that bleeding would recur due to the continued presence of the
broncholith underlying the eroded airway. IP returned for second
bronchoscopy on [**2117-3-2**] in an effort to resect the broncholith
in the most minimally invasive approach. Broncholith was removed
and sent for path and the underlying subcarinal node was
biopsied. The area was cauterized. Her hemoptysis resolved
after this measure. The path report on the biopsy was
unremarkable, showing ulcerated mucosa, extensive granulation
tissue but no granulomas, and no evidence of viral inclusions.
It was sent for special stains and universal PCR on viruses,
bacteria, and fungus which were pending at the time of
discharge. Extensive discussion was held with ID (involving
outside consultation to specialist in histoplasmosis) and
determination was made that this was most likely a form of
mediastinal granuloma secondary to histoplasmosis. Work up had
been negative for malignancy, including bHCG, AFP, and LDH to
r/o germ cell tumor. PPD neg x 2. While the histoplasma ab and
ag tests were negative except for one mildly positive yeast
phase antibody during her first hospitalization, these tests
lack sensitivity and numerous ID physicians agreed that a
floridly positive serology panel was not required to make the
diagnosis of histoplasma. Due to the calcifications, the process
seemed to be rather long-standing, however, her presentation was
relatively acute (past 2 months) and had, in fact, developed new
calcifications over the course of a few weeks on CT. Therefore,
it is difficult to say if this was entirely acute or something
acute on top of a chronic process. She grew up in [**State 4260**] so could
have been exposed to histo decades ago. One possible explanation
proposed was that the calcified subcarinal node was chronic, but
had enlarged and ruptured, leading to acute inflammation,
fevers, chest pain, and protrusion of and subsequent growth of
the broncholith into the airway that led to her hemoptysis.
After extensive discussion, decision was made to treat with
itraconazole empirically despite the negative serologies for the
reasons above. Per ID, some people with mediastinal granuloma
will respond to the therapy and experience shrinkage of the
nodes. She was started on itraconazole and counseled on proper
use and potential interactions. She will follow up with her PCP,
[**Name10 (NameIs) **] for repeat bronchi in 6 weeks, CT [**Doctor First Name **] in 3 weeks, and ID for
routine blood tests on itraconazole. She felt well at the time
of discharge.
# PNA: due to fevers and new ground glass opacities and
consolidations on CT, pt was suspected to have a
post-obstructive PNA in the setting of compressive hilar
lymphadenopathy. She was given a 5 day course of levofloxacin.
Her fevers had resolved and she felt better.
# Coagulopathy: pt had slight elevation of INR in house, thought
to be nutritional deficiency [**12-24**] prolonged illness. She was
vitamin K in the MICU and her INR normalized.
# Headache: pt complained of chronic HA while in house. She
states the HA began about 2 months ago and was present before
the first hospitalization. At that time she had a CT sinus that
was negative and an LP which was negative. Due to the chronic
nature of her [**Last Name (LF) **], [**First Name3 (LF) **] MRI was obtained during this
hospitalization to rule out CNS disease and was normal. She
variably described it as a facial pain on the right vs bifrontal
ache. She was tried on gabapentin due to suspicion for
trigeminal neuralgia for the right facial pain but this did not
improve her symptoms. She had also tried tylenol, NSAIDs,
fiorecet, and oxycodone throughout her hospitalization to little
effect. Ultimately no cause was identified and it was thought
that this may be [**12-24**] chronic illness/inflammatory state with a
possible rebound component in the setting of frequent analgesic
use.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
- follow up final pathology special stains and universal PCR for
bacteria, fungus, and virus on biopsy specimen
- cont itraconazole for 4-6 months per ID with routine blood
work per their recs
- follow up with CT surgery in 3 weeks
- follow up with IP for repeat bronchoscopy in 6 weeks (may
[**2116**])
- repeat CT chest in 3 months ([**2117-5-23**])
- repeat echocardiogram in 6 months ([**2117-8-23**])
- follow up for improvement of HA and consider withdrawal of all
pain medication if suspect rebound HA

Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You came to the hospital because you were coughing up blood. You
were evaluated with bronchoscopy and found to have a calcified
mass eroding into your bronchus, causing the bleeding. This was
removed and the area was cauterized to prevent further bleeding.
The tissue was sent to pathology and was unremarkable. It was
also sent for special studies to evaluate for infection, which
are pending. It is most likely that this was caused by
histoplasmosis, so you were started on itraconazole to treat
this. You should always take this medication with something
acidic, such as coke AND [**Location (un) 2452**] juice (alternatively you could
drink orangina), to improve the absorption. You should avoid
alcohol while on this medication, because it can be toxic to
your liver. Do not start ANY other medications while you are on
itraconazole without talking to your doctor due to the high risk
of medication interactions on this.
Your new medication list is attached. Please note that
omeprazole has been stopped.
Followup Instructions:
Please follow up with your primary care doctor in one week.
Please follow up in the Interventional Pulmonary clinic for
repeat bronchoscopy in 6 weeks. Please follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 7343**]

[**Known lastname **] was born at 30 5/7 weeks gestation to a mother with
pregnancy-induced hypertension and intrauterine growth
retardation, for which she was induced.
MATERNAL HISTORY: Mother is a 39-year-old, gravida 2, para 0
now 1. Expected date of delivery was [**2175-11-2**].
Maternal prenatal screens were as follows: Blood type O
positive, antibody negative, hepatitis B surface antigen
negative, RPR nonreactive, rubella immune, GBS unknown.
Mother has history of hypertension and gastroesophageal
reflux. She had a Nissen fundoplication done. Baby had
prenatal diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation at 10-
15 percentile, AFI and BPP within normal limits. This was an IVF
pregnancy. Mother had a complete course of
betamethasone prior to delivery. She delivered via induced
vaginal delivery for pregnancy induced hypertension and IUGR.
Mother received intrapartum antibiotics, and artificial rupture
of membranes was done 30 minutes before delivery, yielding clear
amniotic fluid. Infant had nuchal cord x2. Infant was initially

60%-70%. Color improved. Respiratory effort improved but
infant still had respiratory distress with retractions. Infant
was intubated in delivery room with 2.5 ET tube. Tone and color
improved, and oxygen requirement decreased to 30%. Apgars were 6
and 8 at one and five minutes. He was then admitted to the NICU
without problems.
At admission to the NICU his birth weight was 1,220 grams,
this is in the 50 percentile; and 40.5 cm, this is in the 50
percentile; and head circumference was , this is in the
25th percentile.

SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM:
1. Respiratory: Initially after intubation, the patient received
1 dose of surfactant. Then on the same day he was extubated to
CPAP with pressure of 8 on which he stayed for 2 days. He then
required nasal cannula O2 for 3 days before successfully weaning
to room air. On day 2 he was started on caffeine for apnea of
prematurity. Caffeine was discontinued at the corrected
gestational age of 35 weeks as his spells were resolving. He
continued to have intermittent apnea/bradycardia, but his last
episode was on [**10-12**], five days prior to discharge.
2. Cardiovascular: He was hemodynamically stable throughout his
stay with normal blood pressure and heart rate.
3. Fluids, electrolytes, nutrition: He was initially started on
D10 IVF by peripheral line, then parenteral nutrition. NG feeds
were started concurrently and slowly advanced to full enteral
volumes by day of life 8. When he reached full feeds, he was
started on iron and vitamin E. He was started on breast milk and
Premature Enfamil 20 and advanced to a caloric density of 28
calories/ounce. Prior to discharge, his calories were lowered
back to 26 calories/ounce. He had some feeding intolerance
manifested by occasional spitting up which has now resolved.
Currently he is feeding p.o. ad lib breast milk or Enfamil 26 and
breastfeeding with a minimal volume of 140 mL/kg/day, and he is
on additional iron and multivitamin.
4. GI: Maximal bilirubin was on day 2 of life 6.5 total and 0.3
direct. He was on phototherapy for 3 days. Last bilirubin
level was 3.1 total, 0.3 direct on day 9 of life.
5. Infectious disease: He was started on empiric Ampicillin and
Gentamicin on admission to the NICU due to prematurity,
respiratory distress, and unknown maternal GBS status. The
antibiotics were discontinued after 48 hours due to negative
blood culture.
6. Hematology: Initial hematocrit at admission was 37%. He did
not require any blood transfusion. Most recent hematocrit was
25.2% with 3.5% reticulocytes on [**10-10**].
7. Neurology: His first head son[**Name (NI) **] done on [**9-5**] in
the first week of life and was normal. Repeat head son[**Name (NI) **]
on [**9-29**] at 1 month was also normal. Neurological exam
was normal throughout his stay.
8. Audiology: Hearing screening was performed with automatic
auditory brainstem responses and he passed bilaterally.
9. Ophthalmology: Eyes were examined most recently on [**2175-10-10**], and the result was mature retinas bilaterally.
Follow-up was recommended in 9 months.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Stable. [**Known lastname **] will be discharged home
in a car seat with his parents. His pediatrician is [**First Name5 (NamePattern1) 12584**]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 63994**] and the telephone number is [**Telephone/Fax (1) 75190**].
RECOMMENDATIONS AT DISCHARGE: [**Known lastname **] will be discharged home on
breast milk or Enfamil 26kcal/oz and breastfeeding ad lib on iron
and multivitamin supplements. He had a car-seat test done and
passed. Newborn Screen repeat was done on [**9-15**].
He received a hepatitis B vaccine on [**9-30**].
IMMUNIZATIONS RECOMMENDED:
Synagis RSV prophylaxis should be considered from [**Month (only) **]
through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the following 4
criteria: Born at less than 32 weeks, born between 32 and 35
weeks with 2 of he following: Daycare during RSV season, a
smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway
abnormalities or school age siblings, chronic lung disease or
hemodynamically significant CHT.
Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the fall for
all infants once they reach 6 months of age. Before this age and
for the first 24 months of the child's life, immunization
again influenza is recommended for household contacts and out
of home caregivers.
This infant has not received rotavirus vaccine. The American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends initial vaccination of preterm
infants at or following discharge from the hospital if they are
clinically stable and at least 6 weeks but few than 12 weeks of
age.
FOLLOWUP: Followup appointments recommended are with his
PMD, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 12584**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 363**], phone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 63996**], 2-3 days
after discharge and with the ophthalmologist in 9 months.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Prematurity 30 5/7 weeks.
2. Rule out sepsis - resolved.
3. Respiratory distress syndrome - resolved.
4. Hyperbilirubinemia - resolved.
5. Apnea of prematurity - resolved.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient presented with an ABO-incompatible donor, and
under a live donor swap program, the patient was taken to the
operating room for live donor transplant from an ABO- compatible
donor from another institution on [**2130-9-5**]. Pre-Op class II
antigen was weekly positive so the patient was given IvIG in
addition the usual thymogloblin, cellcept, and solumedrol prior
to implantation. The operative course was significant for a
warm ischemia time of <1 hours. 6 L fluids intraop, 300 cc EBL.
35 cc urine made on table.
Immediately following arrival the the PACU the patient was
noted to be oliguric, a renal transplant ultrasound was obtained
showing a normal-appearing transplant kidney. There was reversal
of diastolic flow in keeping with high organ resistance,
concerning for acutre rejection. The patient was therefore
taken back to the operating room approximately 8 hours following
her arrival the the PACU where she underwent an exploratory
laparotomy, renal vein thrombectomy, and renal transplant core
biopsy. Frozen section revealed a dense eosinophilic material
consistent with thrombi within glomerular capillaries,
neutrophils within glomerular capillaries, and a neutrophilic
infiltrate within interstitium with no acute interstitial
hemorrhage or arteritis seen.
Since these finndings were worrisome for hyperacute rejection,
the patient
was plasmapheresed immediately post-op, treated with IV IG, ATG,
and Solumedrol. Over the ensuing days she received
plasmapheresis, IVIG for a total of 5 days, thymoglobulin, and
one dose of rituximab. Daily ultrasounds demonstrated
persistently elevated RIs, with flow to the kidney.
The patient required multiple runs of dialysis secondary to
volume overload. On POD3 she developed atrial fibrillation
during dialysis run secondary to fluid shifts. She was treated
with Amiodarone and subsequently converted to NSR.
On POD#7 a renal biopsy was obtained showing renal parenchyma
with near-total hemorrhagic coagulative necrosis. Foci of acute
inflammation / organization were noted. Several small arteries
showed significant intimal fibroplasia.
Given the biopsy findings, and failure of the kidney to produce
urine, the patient was taken back to the OR on POD9 for an
exploratory laparotomy with transplant
nephrectomy. The kidney appeared firm but dusk, and histologic
evaluation revealed almost no viable tissue.
Over the ensuuing days, the patient recovered from the
operation, and continued HD. On [**2130-9-20**] a right arm AV graft
was attempted, but aborted secondary to extensive arterial
disease.
On the night prior to discharge, the patient was found to be
febrile in the dialysis unit. She also complained of swelling
and pain at the site of her PIC line in the left arm. This was
therefore removed and the patient defervescred and she remained
afebrile for the remainder of her time here. She was therefore
discharged in the evening on HD#17

Service: CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 57 year old male
patient with known history of coronary artery disease, who
underwent a previous angioplasty with stent to the left
anterior descending in [**2183**]. He has had a recent increase of
shortness of breath and fatigue and his cardiac
catheterization on [**2187-7-25**], revealed a 70% left main
occlusion with normal left ventricular function. He is
referred for coronary artery bypass graft.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease with previous percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty.
2. Atrial fibrillation times five years.
3. 70 to 100 pack year smoking history, quit two years ago.
4. Asthma.
5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
6. Daily ETOH intake of two to six beers per day.
PREOPERATIVE MEDICATIONS:
1. Coumadin 5 mg p.o. once daily.
2. Ramipril 10 mg p.o. once daily.
3. Inderal 20 mg p.o. twice a day.
4. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. once daily.
5. Aspirin 81 mg p.o. once daily.
6. Coenzyme Q10, 60 mg p.o. once daily.
ALLERGIES: The patient states no known drug allergies but
has had previous intolerable side effects from beta blockers,
which include insomnia, fatigue and impotence.
LABORATORY DATA: Preoperative laboratory values were
unremarkable with the exception of baseline INR of 1.5.
Preoperative chest x-ray revealed chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease with bullous changes. Preoperative
electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation with no acute
ischemia.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Preoperatively, his physical
examination was unremarkable.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was taken to the operating room
on [**2187-7-26**], where he underwent an off pump coronary artery
bypass graft times two with left internal mammary artery to
the left anterior descending and saphenous vein to the obtuse
marginal. Postoperatively, he was on Neo-Synephrine,
Nitroglycerin and Propofol intravenous drip. He was
transported from the operating room to the Cardiac Surgery
Recovery Unit in good condition. On the day of surgery, the
patient was weaned from mechanical ventilation and extubated.
The patient had some ventricular arrhythmias through the
course of the night of surgery felt to be related to his
pulmonary artery catheter. Once this was removed, he had no
further ventricular arrhythmia. The patient remained on
Neo-Synephrine drip for a few hours the following day
postoperative day one, but ultimately that was weaned off
with blood pressure above 90 systolic and the patient was
asymptomatic tolerating that well. The patient had his chest
tubes removed on peripheral pulses day one and begun beta
blockers and diuretic. The patient began cardiac
rehabilitation on postoperative day two, began to ambulate on
the telemetry floor, was placed on intravenous Heparin drip
due to his chronic atrial fibrillation and Coumadin was
initiated the evening of postoperative day two. The patient
progressed with cardiac rehabilitation over the next couple
of days and has remained hemodynamically stable in atrial
fibrillation with a resting heart rate of about 100. His
beta blocker was increased. His Coumadin was given at his
preoperative dose of 5 mg p.o. once daily His INR had not
yet bumped. After discussion with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1537**] and the patient,
it was felt appropriate for the patient to have his Heparin
discontinued and allow him to be discharged home on his
preoperative Coumadin dose.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Neurologically, the patient is
intact with no apparent neurologic deficits. On pulmonary
examination, his lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally.
Cardiac examination is irregular rate and rhythm. His
abdomen is obese, soft, benign. His sternal incision is
clean and dry with no erythema and no sternal drainage. He
does, however, have a small amount of serosanguinous drainage
oozing from his chest tube site.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Lopressor 50 mg p.o. twice a day.
2. Aspirin 81 mg p.o. once daily.
3. Percocet one to two tablets q4-6hours p.r.n. pain.
4. Ibuprofen 400 mg p.o. q6hours p.r.n. pain.
5. Lasix 20 mg p.o. twice a day times seven days.
6. Potassium Chloride 20 meq twice a day times seven days.
7. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. once daily.
8. Coumadin 5 mg p.o. today, [**2187-7-30**], tomorrow [**2187-7-31**],
and then he is to have an INR checked and the results are to
be called to the patient's primary care physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1683**], whose office will dose continued Coumadin. They have
been contact[**Name (NI) **] and have agreed to do this and the patient has
the appropriate information regarding Coumadin dosing to be
done by his primary care physician.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Baby Girl [**Known lastname 30106**] #1, ([**Known lastname 4489**])
is a 1665 gram baby girl, [**Name2 (NI) **] at 31 and 6/7 weeks
gestational age to a 36 year old, Gravida I, Para 0 to 1
mother with prenatal screens blood type B positive, antibody
negative, group B strep positive, hepatitis B surface antigen
negative, RPR nonreactive. [**Hospital 37544**] medical history was
notable for myomectomy for fibroids. There was a normal
amniocentesis for both twins. Twin #2 had a prenatal
ultrasound suggestive of club foot. The prenatal course was
remarkable for spontaneous di/di twinning with concordant
growth and diet controlled gestational diabetes. Prior
preterm labor was treated with Magnesium Sulfate and bed rest
and the mother was betamethasone complete on [**2158-1-3**].
There was premature rupture of membranes nine hours prior to
delivery. Mother received two doses of Terbutaline and was
started on intrapartum Penicillin. A Cesarean section was
performed for malpresentation and changing cervix.
This twin emerged with strong cry and had Apgars of seven and
eight at one and five minutes.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Notable for a weight of 1665 grams
(50th percentile); length 42 cm (50th percentile); head
circumference 30 cm (50th percentile). Examination was
remarkable for a preterm infant in mild to moderate
respiratory distress. Pink color. Soft, anterior fontanel,
normal facies, intact palate. Mild retractions. Coarse
breath sounds with fair air entry. No murmur. Femoral
pulses present. Flat, soft, nontender abdomen without
hepatosplenomegaly. Normal external genitalia. Normal
perfusion. Normal tone and activity.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1.) Respiratory: Baby had initial
respiratory distress, likely retained lung fluid versus
surfactant deficiency. She was placed on C-Pap of six and
weaned to room air by 24 hours of life. Subsequently, she
has been comfortable in room air, saturating greater than 95
to 97%. She has not had significant apnea of prematurity and
is not on caffeine.
2.) Cardiovascular: [**Known lastname 4489**] has been stable from a
cardiovascular standpoint from admission. No murmurs have
been noted.
3.) Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: [**Known lastname 4489**] was
initially npo and received D-10 at 80 cc per kg per day
and was transitioned to peripheral parenteral nutrition. She
was started on enteral feeds at around 24 hours of life and
has advanced easily to full enteral feeds at 150 cc per kg
per day. She has been advanced from premature Enfamil 20 to
22 calories per ounce. All her feeds are p.g. At discharge,
her weight was 1,615 grams (down from birth weight of 1665
grams).
4.) Gastrointestinal: No active issues.
5.) Hematology: Maternal blood type was B positive; antibody
negative. Baby's blood type has not been recorded. Maximum
bilirubin was on [**2158-2-4**] at 7.1. No phototherapy was initiated
and the bilirubin was decreased to 6.1 on [**2158-2-6**].
6.) Infectious disease: Initial CBC showed a white count of
12.6 with 5% polys, 85% lymphocytes, 7% monocytes, 0 bands.
Hematocrit was 51. Platelets were 381. Baby was started on
ampicillin and gentamicin which were discontinued at 48
hours, with negative blood cultures. There have been no
other active infectious disease issues.
7.) Neurology: Cranial ultrasound has not yet been performed
but should be done in the next week.
8.) Sensory: Hearing screening has not yet been performed.
Ophthalmology examination has also not yet been performed and
given the gestational age at 31 and 6/7 weeks, this should be
considered in [**3-2**] weeks.
9.) Routine health care maintenance: Newborn state screen
was sent on [**2158-2-4**] with results pending. No immunizations
have been given.
CONDITION AT TRANSFER: Stable.

Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 5552**]
Chief Complaint:
right flank pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
right sided thoracocentesis (-2200 mL fluid)
History of Present Illness:
55 YO female with metastatic adenocarcinoma with unknown primary
on C2D1 gemcitabine/irinotecan and with malignant pleural
effusions presented to [**Hospital1 18**] ED with severe R flank pain,
radiating to chest. Patient reports pain was [**9-19**] in
severity. She was otherwise asymptomatic, denying shortness of
breath or coughing at presentation. She experienced R flank
pain previously for which she had applied a fentanyl patch with
adequate pain control. Of note, she has known lytic bone
lesions to the R pelvis. She reports that she had not applied
the fentanyl patch to the R flank recently as pain control had
improved.
.
The patient's cancer initially presented as syncope and further
work-up revealed
pericardial/pleural effusion [**2181-5-10**]. The pleural fluid
revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma and the pericardial fluid a
well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient has had
3 recent admissions: on [**5-16**] for dyspnea and [**6-6**] and [**6-14**] for
dizziness/syncope. On admission [**6-6**], the patient had
pericardiocentesis and balloon pericardiotomy with removal of
520 cc of bloody fluid. [**Month/Year (2) **] on [**6-4**] showed stable loculated
pericardial effusion. [**Month/Year (2) **] [**6-11**] (EF>55%) suggestive of
pericardial constriction, although unchanged in size since prior
admission.
.
During admission on [**6-14**], cardiology team saw the patient and
recommended trial of low dose beta blocker for rate control; a
pericardial window was not performed because the effusion was
determined to be stable and symptoms thought to be related to
dehydration and tachycardia. Subsequent CT of the torso did not
reveal a primary source but did reveal bony lytic lesions in the
right ischium and bilateral ilia concerning for metastatic
disease. She also underwent an upper and lower endoscopy without
evidence of a primary lesion. Considering pericardial and
pleural fluid pathology, a subtle gastric or pancreatico/biliary
tumor was suspected and the patient was started on
gemcitabine/irinotecan. Her last dose of chemotherapy was
yesterday 8/2 per patient. Chemotherapy was begun on [**2181-6-15**].
.
Pt. presented to ED with tachycardia above baseline in 130s to
140s. Patient has h/o resting tachycardia 115-120.
Electrocardiogram in the ED showed sinus tachycardia unchanged
from prior. Radiography showed reaccumulation of pulmonary
edema and CT of the chest showed no acute changes. A
therapeutic thoracentesis was performed of 2200 mL of dark
maroon right pleural fluid. In addition, after the procedure,
the patient complained of increased shortness of breath
increased from baseline, patient's O2 saturation was in the 90s.
The patient was administered Lasix (40 mg X1) in the ED with
subsequent improvement of respiratory function. In ED patient
was administered vancomycin 1 g, ondasetron 2 mg twice, and 4
doses of morphine sulfate 4 mg. Patient was admitt-ed to ICU for
pain control and management of tachycardia in setting of pleural
effusions.

C.dif - negative
Blood and urine cx: no growth
.
CXR ([**7-11**]):
IMPRESSION: Increased size of now large right pleural effusion
and minimally increased now moderate left pleural effusion.
.
Chest CT ([**7-12**])
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffuse peribronchovascular opacity with air bronchograms
involving the right middle and right lower lobes post
thoracentesis. Given the rapid evolution of this process,
findings likely represent pulmonary edema. Pulmonary hemorrhage
or multifocal pneumonia is less likely. Close interval
radiographic follow up recommended.
2. Large left pleural effusion with adjacent compressive
atelectasis.
3. Minimal pericardial fluid.
4. No pneumothorax or reaccumulation of the right pleural
effusion.
CXR ([**7-15**]):
IMPRESSION:
1. Unchanged moderate left-sided pleural effusion.
2. Patchy opacities at the right lung base have cleared since
the prior
examination, likely representing pulmonary edema given its rapid
improvement;
mild persistent residual pulmonary edema.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 55 y/o woman with metastatic adenocarcinoma of
unknown primary (likely discrete gastric or pancreaticobiliary
ca) admitted with tachycardia in the setting of malignant
pericardial effusions and uncontrolled pain.
.
# Malignant Effusion - The patient presented for outpatient
therapeutic thoracocentesis [**7-12**] (done for worsening SOB) with
removal of 2200 mL R sided fluid, followed by excruciating pain
at thoracotomy site. The dyspnea after her procedure was likely
a result of reexpansion edema, which was reflected on her chest
X-ray. She was initially treated in the intensive care unit with
oxygen therapy as well as IV Lasix and closely monitored. No
infectious etiology was identified. It was decided that
thoracentesis was not warranted as her pleural effusion was
significantly smaller after the procedure. Her respiratory
distress rapidly improved with diuresis and she was soon back to
baseline (requires home O2).
.
# Mucinous adenocarcinoma of unknown primary: The patient began
chemotherapy on [**2181-6-15**] with Gemzar and CPT-11 for metastatic
disease. She did not experience significant nausea during
hospitalization, but continued to have diarrhea related to her
chemotherapy which was treated with Lomotil.
.
# DVT/PE - She is s/p IVC filter placement on [**2181-5-30**] s/p DVT of
common femoral. She was continued on lovenox therapy.
.
# Pain - Patient had known lytic lesions, with high risk of
pathologic fracture. Bilateral hip xray on [**6-12**] demonstrated no
progression of known metastatic lesions. Orthopedics were
consulted on prior admisson and believe chemotherapy should
proceed prior to any radiation therapy to the hip. Also with
pain at site of thoracentesis. She was treated with home
fentanyl 25mcg patch for pain control, home lidocaine patch with
morphine for breakthrough pain

Service: CCU
CHIEF COMPLAINT: The patient was med flighted to [**Hospital1 346**] for cardiac catheterization.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 88 year-old
female with a history of coronary artery disease status post
inferior myocardial infarction in [**2125**], history of
hypertension and history of hypercholesterolemia who
presented to [**Hospital3 1280**] with complaint of shortness of breath
and substernal chest pain that had lasted for two days. She
presented on [**2133-10-22**]. She describes this as a burning
sensation such as "breathing in cold air." There were no
associated symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis or
palpitations. The pain was worse while lying down. She had
no history of angina. There is a question of myocardial
infarction versus myopericarditis at [**Hospital3 1280**]. Her CK was
found to be 92, which elevated to 137 then 142 with troponin
elevations from 1.84 to 3.7 to 4.02. Cardiac catheterization
at the outside hospital showed three vessel disease with 90%
occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and
total occlusion of the right coronary artery. At this time
the patient was med flighted to [**Hospital1 188**] and no further intervention was performed. The
patient had a cardiac catheterization in [**2128-3-16**], which
showed diffuse 50% obtuse marginal one stenosis at the
stented site. The area was patent by angiography and IVUF.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Coronary artery disease status post
inferior myocardial infarction, also with percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent of the obtuse
marginal one. The patient had a myocardial infarction in
11/96 and she was found to have a residual EF of 60%. She
had question of congestive heart failure in the past and
history of hypertension, history of hypothyroidism, history
of hypercholesterolemia and diabetes. The patient also had a
history of osteoarthritis status post left knee replacement.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., aspirin
325 mg po q.d., Lipitor 10 mg po q day, Levoxyl 150 mcg po
q.d., Protonix 40 mg po q day, Colace prn and she was also on
an intravenous nitroglycerin drip and intravenous heparin
drip.
ALLERGIES: Codeine.
FAMILY HISTORY: The patient's sister died at 69 of a
myocardial infarction.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient had quit smoking thirty five
years ago, but use to smoke one pack a day for approximately
twenty four years. She had no history of alcohol use.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Vital signs 95.0, 91, and
blood pressure of 88/51 with an intraaortic balloon pump in
place. General appearance, tired ill appearing female
without much movement and in no acute distress. HEENT pupils
are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation.
Dry mucous membranes. No scleral icterus. Neck no JVD. No
carotid bruits. Cardiac regular rate and rhythm. No murmurs
appreciated. Distant heart sounds. Pulmonary distant breath
sounds. Patient with very little air movement. Abdomen
positive bowel sounds, soft, nontender, nondistended.
Extremities no clubbing, cyanosis or edema. Very faint
dorsalis pedis pulse and posterior tibial pulses.
LABORATORIES ON ADMISSION: White blood cell count 12.6,
hematocrit 30.4 and platelets 396. Coagulation studies
showed an INR of 1.6 and PTT of 81.3. Electrolytes showed
sodium 137, potassium 4.4, chloride 103, bicarbonate 22, BUN
45 and creatinine 1.9 with a glucose of 197. Cardiac enzymes
drawn in the Coronary Care Unit showed a CK of 319, MB of 32
and troponin greater then 50. Electrocardiogram showed
question of idioventricular rhythm, ST depressions in AVL,
retrograde T waves and left bundaloid morphology. Cardiac
catheterization showed elevated wedge pressure of 37 and
otherwise findings of markedly increased filling pressures,
left main with 30% diffuse disease. Left anterior descending
coronary artery with 90% proximal occlusion with TIMI two
flow after the balloon was inserted, 3.8 by 8 mm hepacoach
sent, ramus to intermedius had the ability to rescue it.
Renal function has minimization of contrast used. The
patient has a diagnosis of cardiogenic shock with a PA
saturation of 42%. Therefore an intraaortic balloon pump was
placed.
Th[**Last Name (STitle) 15937**]ssment and recommendations from the cardiac
catheterization included anterior myocardial infarction with
cardiogenic shock, aspirin and Plavix for thirty days at
least, ace inhibitor when the creatinine stabilized, heparin
half dose while on Integrilin for 24 hours and an intraaortic
balloon pump. Dr. [**Last Name (Prefixes) **] of Cardiothoracic Surgery was
also consulted.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Given the above the patient was diagnosed
with a large anterior myocardial infarction and cardiogenic
shock.
1. Cardiac: Pump, the patient was continued on an
intravenous nitroglycerin drip. She was continued on a lower
dose of Metoprolol, which subsequently was discontinued. She
was maintained on an intraaortic balloon pump for a day. She
was prepared for a coronary artery bypass graft, however,
this was not performed. Subsequently she was diuresed with
Lasix for presumed congestive heart failure. She was started
on ianatrops for one day, however, this was discontinued
secondary to abnormal and occasional supraventricular
tachycardias on telemetry. For ischemia she was continued on
Plavix, aspirin and her heparin drip. The Integrilin drip
was discontinued one day after catheterization.
2. Pulmonary: The patient had periods of apnea on her
monitor prior to the catheterization. Subsequently she was
sating about 95% on room air.
3. Endocrine: The patient had a question of diabetes
mellitus and a history of hypothyroidism. Therefore she was
maintained on an regular insulin sliding scale and continued
on her Synthroid. The patient was also continued on Protonix
and her heparin drip. Given the above the patient had some
difficulty being weaned off the intraaortic balloon pump,
however, this was achieved after days. The patient's
Captopril dose was increased upwards. She was started on
Hydralazine and that was titrated upwards. She was also put
on Isordil and that was titrated upwards.
However, the patient continued to experience significant
congestive heart failure and it was the families decision
given the severity of her congestive heart failure and her
frequent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia and apnea
that she be made comfort measures only. Therefore the
patient was maintained on morphine. She was given multiple
medications for her major complaint, which was cough and this
very pleasant female died probably of supraventricular
tachycardia on [**2133-10-29**] at 11:20 a.m.

Electrocardiogram shows a sinus rhythm with a rate of 70.
Normal intervals, .16, .8 and .38 with biphasic Ts in leads
V2 and V3.
HOSPITAL COURSE: On [**10-4**] the patient was a direct
admit to the Operating Room where she underwent an aortic
valve replacement. Please see the operating report for full
details. In summary, she had an aortic valve replacement
with a #21 [**Location (un) **] pericardial. The tolerated the operation
well and was transferred from the Operating Room to the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. At the time of transfer
she had an arteriole line, a Swan-Ganz catheter, ventricular
and atrial pacing wires and mediastinal chest tubes. Her
mean arterial pressure was 61. Her CVP was 9. She had a
heart rate of 82 and a normal sinus rhythm. She was
transferred on propofol infusion at 30 mcg per kilogram per
minute. She did well in the immediate postoperative period.
She was weaned from her propofol. Her anesthesia was
reversed. She was then weaned from the ventilator and
extubated shortly after arrival to the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit. She remained hemodynamically stable
overnight with a little bit of nitroglycerin for blood
pressure control. On the morning of postoperative day one
she was weaned from the nitroglycerin. Her chest tubes were
removed and she was transferred to Far Six for continuing
postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. Over the next
several days the patient remained hemodynamically stable and
progressed nicely and her activity level so that on
postoperative day four she was ambulating 500 feet and able
to climb a flight of stairs.
The decision was made at that time that she was stable and
ready to be discharged to home on the following morning.
During this postoperative course she did have one episode of
rapid atrial fibrillation with a ventricular response rate of
130 to 150. She was given IV Lopressor for rate control and
started on Amiodarone. She converted back to a normal sinus
rhythm with a rate in the 60s following an oral load of
Amiodarone and the intravenous Lopressor. On postoperative
day five she was discharged to home. At the time of
discharge her condition was stable.

Date of Birth: [**2140-2-29**] Sex: F
Service: Neonatology
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 1.83-kg product
of a 32-5/7 gestation born to a 29-year-old gravida 2, para 0
to 2 mother. Serologies: A+, ab neg, hep neg, RPR NR, RI, GBS
positive from previous pregnancy. This pregnancy was
complicated by several admissions to [**Hospital **] Hospital between
24 and 26 weeks with several cervical shortenings. She
received a complete course of betamethasone at 24 weeks. She
was transferred to [**Hospital1 69**] at 26
weeks with preterm labor which was treated with another
course of betamethasone and tocolysis. Onset of labor began
again on the morning of delivery, and due to breech/breech
presentation the patient was born via cesarean section. This
twin emerged with decreased tone and poor respiratory effort.
She required positive pressure ventilation with a good
response in color and improved respiratory effort.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Her examination on
admission revealed she was active and pink. Head, ears,
nose, eyes and throat revealed she had an anterior fontanel
which was normal and flat. She had an oropharynx which was
clear. No cleft, and no neck masses. Cardiovascular
examination showed a normal first heart sound and second
heart sound, and no murmurs. Lungs had coarse but equal
breath sounds bilaterally. She had mild-to-moderate grunting
and increased work of breathing. Her abdomen was soft with
no hepatosplenomegaly, and no masses. Neurologic examination
was nonfocal and age appropriate. Genitalia showed a normal
premie female.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM:
1. RESPIRATORY: Shortly after arrival in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit she was placed on CPAP due to increased
work of breathing. Her initial arterial blood gas showed
mild CO2 retention, however, and the patient was then
intubated. She received surfactant times one and was able to
wean quickly on her ventilator settings. She was
extubated by the following morning to room air. She has apnea
of prematurity requiring caffeine citrate therapy (started on
[**3-3**]). Current maintenance dose is 11 mg pg qday.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: She had good blood pressures during her
stay here and has had no cardiovascular issues.
3. FLUIDS/ELECTROLYTES/NUTRITION: She was initially made
n.p.o. but after extubating feeds were started. She has been
advancing on her feeds successfully and is currently at
120 cc/kg per day via PG-tube of breast milk or PE-20. Feeds
have been going very well. Plan is to reach a goal volume of
150 cc/k/day.
4. HEMATOLOGY: Her complete blood count on admission
showed a white blood cell count of 15.8, a hematocrit
of 57.5, and a platelet count of 252. She had 24 neutrophils
and 0 bands.
5. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: She was started on ampicillin and
gentamicin for a 48-hour rule out sepsis. Her blood cultures
remained negative throughout her stay, and the antibiotics
were discontinued after 48 hours. She has had no further
infectious issues.
6. GASTROINTESTINAL: The patient was started on
phototherapy on day of life two for a maximum bilirubin
of 8.8. She continued on phototherapy today. Today's
bilirubin on [**3-4**] is 8.3 (down from 9.1 on [**3-2**]).
7. NEUROLOGY: The patient has had no neurologic issues
during her stay.
8. SENSORY: Hearing screen was not performed yet.
DISCHARGE STATUS: The patient was to be transferred to
[**Hospital 487**] Hospital on [**3-4**].

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 66 year old female
admitted on [**2127-7-11**], mid afternoon, four days after
discharge from the Thrombus Service where she had had a right
pneumothorax and right-sided rib fractures due to a motor
vehicle accident. At that time she had been discharged to a
rehabilitation facility, primarily due to her social
situation where she was considered to a fall risk and she
lives at home alone without any social support. One day
prior to admission, staff at the skilled nursing facility
noticed increased drainage from the chest tube wound sight
and today the patient was noted to have a temperature of
101.6. The patient has also noticed worsening shortness of
breath. She was transported back to [**Hospital6 649**] and admitted back to the Trauma Service.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Status post motor vehicle crash ten
days prior with multiple right rib fractures, status post
right-sided chest tube, glaucoma, chronic neuritic pain,
depression and otherwise nonspecified psychiatric history,
most likely a paranoid personality disorder.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Status post left open reduction and
internal fixation of the tibial plateau and status post
bilateral hip replacement.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Timolol, eye drops for glaucoma,
Nortriptyline 75 mg q.d., Neurontin 600 mg t.i.d., Colace,
Celexa 10 mg q.d., Percocet prn and Ibuprofen.
ALLERGIES: The patient has stated allergies to Effexor,
Penicillin and Topamax, none of which were related to rash or
shortness of breath by her history.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Physical examination on arrival showed
temperature 97.6, heartrate 98, blood pressure 145/37 and
respiratory rate 18. Oxygen saturations were 82% on room air
and 99% on nonrebreather. The patient was awake and alert in
no acute distress, not tachypneic. There was a right-sided
chest crepitus palpated and auscultated. Left side of the
lung, decreased breathsounds as well at the base. There was
no jugulovenous distension. Heart had a regular rate. The
abdomen was soft, nontender, and had good bowel sounds. The
left knee had an area of ecchymosis but was not tender to
palpation nor warm to the touch. Left eye also had some
ecchymosis from a prior hematoma on the left anterior portion
of her scalp.
LABORATORY DATA: Initial laboratory data were significant
for a white count of 19.8, hematocrit 28, the patient having
a baseline hematocrit at discharge between 28 and 30.
Urinalysis with numerous white blood cells. Initial
radiology, chest x-ray was obtained showing left lower lobe
and right lower lobe consolidation, as well as a right lower
lobe effusion. Electrocardiogram was performed which showed
no acute change from her prior electrocardiogram.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the floor for
possible empyema versus pneumonia versus urinary tract
infection and started on Vancomycin and Ceftriaxone. It was
difficult to maintain the patient's oxygenation due to her
pain. A chest tube was attempted to be placed but was placed
in the chest wall and not in the intrapleural space. Said
chest tube was discontinued and upon thoracic surgery
consultation was not felt to be needed. The chest
computerized tomographic angiography was required to rule out
pulmonary embolism which showed the patient to be without
emboli. Chest computerized tomography scan did reveal a
small right apical pneumothorax as well as a small right
hydropneumothorax near the pulmonary artery and atelectasis
versus pneumonia at the right middle lobe. Aggressive chest
physical therapy and antibiotics gradually improved the
patient's oxygenation until she was sating well on simple
nasal cannula. Antibiotics were switched over to Levaquin
and as her condition has improved, she is stable for transfer
back to the rehabilitation facility where it is crucial that
she use incentive spirometry, has gotten out of bed as often
as possible and that her pain is managed well to prevent
relapse of possible pneumonia. She should follow up at the
Trauma Clinic in one to two weeks and should have an
outpatient colonoscopy scheduled as she has a persistent
anemia with heme positive stools. After she is done
completing her course of Fluoroquinolones it is recommended
that she be started on iron therapy but not prior to
finishing her Levaquin as Fluoroquinolone levels are reduced
in the face of concurrent iron therapy. At this time the
patient is discharged with the following diagnoses.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Right rib fractures from prior motor vehicle accident
status post second chest tube insertion
2. Urinary tract infection
3. Pneumonia
4. Loculated hydropneumothoraces on the right times two
5. Anemia
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Nortriptyline 75 mg h.s.
2. Neurontin 600 mg t.i.d.
3. Docusate 100 mg b.i.d.
4. Celexa 10 mg q.d.
5. Dilaudid 2 to 4 mg p.o. q. 6 hours prn for ten days
6. Levaquin 500 mg q.d. for nine days
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: Chest physiotherapy one to two times
per day as well as physical therapy for general strengthening
and gait safety. It is expected that as her condition
improves she will be safe to be discharged back home.

[**2122-5-27**] CT CHEST
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple pulmonary consolidations as described, most of them
are either new or significantly increased since [**2122-3-18**].
Similar, but smaller areas of consolidation have been seen back
in [**2115-9-22**]. The differential diagnosis would include
recurrence of known Wegener vasculitis, in particular given the
presence of areas of ground-glass surrounding the areas of
consolidation that might be consistent with hemorrhage. The
septal thickening surrounding the areas of consolidation might
be consistent with clearance of the hemorrhage by the lymphatic
system and lymphatic engourgment.
The other consideration would include opportunistic infection
such as invasive aspergillosis given the known immunosuppressed
status of the patient.
2. Splenomegaly, unchanged. Vascular calcifications. Partially
imaged
horseshoe kidney.
3. Extensive degenerative changes of the thoracic spine.
Asymmetric
sclerosis within the medial head of the left clavicle most
likely consistent with degenerative disease or arthritis or
SAPHO.
4. Dilated pulmonary arteries, consistent with pulmonary
hypertension, unchanged since [**2122-3-18**], and slightly
progressed since [**2115-9-22**] (4.5 cm).
5. Upper chest/lower neck calcifications, 5:19, most likely
representing prior surgery and given the known parathyroid
adenoma most likely related to that reason.
[**2122-6-6**] CT Chest
1. Progression of dominant expansile consolidative opacity since
the prior CT in the left upper lobe with some residual areas
that remain partly aerated, evolving substantially over two
weeks, referring to radiographs. Major differential
considerations include an expansile consolidation associated
with pyogenic infection or hemorrhage. Given immunosuppresion,
atypical sources of infection including fungal etiologies could
also be considered. The density is intermediate, so while
hemorrhage may represent a substantial component, specific areas
of hematoma are not definable.
2. Progression of left upper lobe opacity noted in the
background of
resolving mass-like opacities in the right lung and left lower
lobe.
2. New interval moderate pericardial effusion.
3. Moderate stable cardiomegaly.
4. Enlarged pulmonary artery consistent with pulmonary
hypertension.
Brief Hospital Course:
Course on the Onc Floor:
Mr [**Known lastname 50155**] was on [**2122-5-27**] admitted patient with history of
Wegener's granulomatosis, MDS/AML, recently on Revlimid therapy,
pancytopenia, and poor functional status, presented on with
malaise, fever, and acute on chronic changes to his chest CT
with increased size and number of areas of consolidation. Given
complex history, the differential was broad, and included
regular and opportunistic infections, recurrent vasculititis,
malignancy, and/or hemorrhage. The case was discussed his
oncologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 6944**], who has also been in contact with his
pulmonologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 2168**]. The plan was to begin broad
spectrum antibiotic coverage and to check blood, sputum, and
urine cultures. His hemodialysis was continued M, W, F. On
[**2122-6-4**] pt developed increasing respiratory distress, progressive
CXR consolidation and had continued hemoptysis.
ICU Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 50155**] was admitted to the [**Hospital Ward Name 332**] ICU on [**2122-6-4**] for
worsening respiratory status and increased oxygen requirements.
At admission, patient had been desaturating on low flow NC to
mid 80s at times. He was placed on shovel mask and then 70% FM
today with sats recovering to high 90s. Etiology was thought to
be worse underlying infectious process in lungs with some
additional edema as CXR showed worse LUL infiltrate and
effusions. Pt was started on broad spectrum antibiotics with
vanco, cefepime (later changed to zosyn), voriconazole, and
levaquin.
For his stage IV CKD secondary to WG pt was continued MWF
hemodialysis. He was making very small amounts of urine at
baseline
# MDS: Pt was transfusion dependent with ongoing
thrombocytopenias and severe anemia. He has known AML
transformation with last bone marrow just few months ago with
15% blasts. He also had an older history of essential
throbocytosis as well. CBCs were followed [**Hospital1 **]. Platelet
transfusions were given for platelet counts <50 and PRBCs were
given for HCT <21.
.
#Wegener's: Unclear whether patient was having a wegener's
flare. He had been in remission for WG since [**2114**], although he
has advancing stage IV renal disease felt to be from WG. His
immunosuppression also made a WG flare less likely.
On [**6-6**] a repeat CT showed large lung lesions compressing
mediastinum with a large pericardial effusion, left pleural
effusion, large heart thought to be due to infection vs wegeners
w/ hemorrhage. On [**6-7**], Mr. [**Known lastname 50155**] was coded and was
intubated and on pressors. Interventional pulmonary, CT surgery
and interventional radiology were contact[**Name (NI) **] about a biopsy of
the lung mass. Given his thrombocytopenia, risk of bleeding and
poor functional status, it was felt that a biopsy carried a high
risk of morbidity and mortality. The procedure and the patient's
prognosis was explained to the family and they decided to
withdraw care. Mr. [**Known lastname 50155**] was extubated on [**2122-6-8**] and passed
away at 3:45 pm. His family was comforted and consoled. They
declined a autopsy but agreed to a post-mortem bronchoscopy to
biopsy the lung mass found on CT.

Cardiac Cath [**8-27**]
1. Coronary angiography in this right dominant system
demonstrated
single vessel disease. The LMCA and LCx had no angiographically
apparent flow limiting epicardial disease. The LAD had minimal
disease.
The mid-RCA had an 80% lesion and mid/distal total occlusion.
2. Resting hemodynamics revealed elevated right sided filling
pressures
with an RVEDP of 17 mmHg and PCWP = 16 mm Hg consistent with RV
infarct
physiology. There was moderate pulmonary systolic hypertension
with a
PASP of 46 mmHg. There was mild systemic
arterial systolic hypertension with an SBP of 148 mmHg.
3. Successful stenting of the distal and mid RCA lesions with
2.5 X 28
mm Minivision and 3.0 X 16 mm Liberte bare metal stents with no
residual
stenosis (see PTCA comments for detail).
4. Successful treatment of inferior MI with thrombectomy and
primary
PTCA.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. One vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Acute inferior myocardial infarction, managed by acute export
thrombectomy and dilation and stenting of mid and distal RCA
lesions.
3. Moderate pulmonary artery hypertension and Right ventricular
dysfunction.
4. Mild systemic arterial hypertension.
5. Successful stenting of the distal and mid RCA with bare metal
stents.
.
TTE [**8-29**]
The left atrium is normal in size. There is moderate symmetric
left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with focal akinesis of the basal inferior and
inferolateral walls and hypokinesis of the basal to mid inferior
walls. The remaining segments contract normally (LVEF = 50 %).
[Intrinsic left ventricular systolic function is likely more
depressed given the severity of valvular regurgitation.] The
right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. There is moderate
global right ventricular free wall hypokinesis with apical
dyskinesis. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
There is no aortic valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Severe
(4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is borderline
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Regional left and right ventricular dysfunction
consistent with inferior/inferolateral myocardial infarction
with right ventricular
involvement. Severe mitral regurgitation. Borderline elevated
pulmonary artery systolic pressures.
.
CXR [**8-30**]:
IMPRESSION: No fluid overload or heart failure. No acute
cardiopulmonary disease.
Brief Hospital Course:
1. STEMI:
Symptoms started at roughly 8pm and pt arrived in the ED at
8:30pm. In the ED, her vitals were: Pulse 50, BP 99/65,
Respiratory Rate 22, O2 saturation 97% on 4L nasal canula.
Initial ECG showed ST elevations inferiorly and complete heart
block with a junctional escape. Pt was given asa, plavix 600mg
x1, heparin gtt, integrilin and transferred to the cath lab. At
cath, she was found to have a 80% mid total occlusion of the RCA
which was opened and treated with a bare metal stent. There was
no hemodynamic instability, though pacing was transiently
required during the cath for heart rate in 40s. The patient was
admitted to CCU for overnight monitoring, arriving in stable
condition with pulse in 90s BP 120/80. In the CCU, she had an
uneventful course with no further ischemic symptoms or evidence
of heart block, and was discharged on aspirin, clopidogrel,
atorvastatin, metoprolol, lasix, and lisinopril. She will follow
up her primary care physician and cardiologist upon her return
to [**State 5887**] in two weeks. Her lipid panel should be repeated
as an outpatient.
.
2. Mitral Regurgitation:
The patient's [**8-29**] echocardiogram was notable for severe (4+)
mitral regurgitation. She should have a cardiac MRI in [**3-31**] weeks
for further evaluation, with consideration for possible valve
repair.
.
3. Renal insufficiency:
Per the patient's primary care physician, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] last recorded
creatinine was 1.0 on 7/[**2149**]. Her creatinine was somewhat
elevated from this at 1.6 on admission, and trended back down
following rehydration. She will need a repeat creatinine and
potassium measurement as she has started an ACE inhibitor in
hospital.
.
4. Anemia:
The patient was found to have a normocytic anemia at admission
with hematocrit nadir of 23 in hospital, and consequently was
transfused 2 units of PRBCs She did not have any gross GI
bleeding, but did have some heme positive stools. She denies
ever having a colonoscopy. Her anemia should be worked up
further as an outpatient. Her iron studies, folate and B12
levels were normal when checked [**8-30**]. Chronic renal insufficiency
may be a contributing factor to her anemia, although low level
GI bleeding should be excluded.
.

.
The patient was admitted to the OR with urology service for R
radical nephrectomy and removal of large renal mass (13cm)
suspicious for malignancy today. The procedure was difficult but
without complications, and 150cc 250% albumin. Specimen sent for
pathology. Patient was bridged with heparin prior to procedure.
Given history of prior history of ATN and fluid overload
requiring CVVH during last admission ([**Month (only) **]-[**Month (only) **]/[**2165**]), patient was
brought to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for continued intubation, monitoring of volume

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted post-operatively to the [**Hospital Ward Name 332**] ICU under
Dr.[**Name (NI) 24219**] Urology service. He remained intubated overnight
due to the length of the case, but did well overnight, weaning
on vent settings appropriately and he was extubated without
difficulty on POD 1. His heparin anticoagulation was restarted
approximately 8 hours after surgery at 1 am on [**2166-2-28**]. On POD
1, his PTT ranged from 65.7-94.3. In late POD 1, early POD 2,
he was noted to have a decreasing hct, for which he received a
transfusion of 2u pRBCs. However, after transfusion, his hct
did not change. His UOP decreased and his creatinine increased
from 1.8 immediately postoperatively to 4.1 on early POD 2. Of
note, he was given two doses of lasix 40 mg IV on POD 1. A CT
scan of the abdomen/pelvis without contrast was performed, which
demonstrated a large R retroperitoneal hematoma. Heparin gtt
was stopped and the patient was transfused as necessary to keep
his hct > 25. He received a total of 7u of pRBCs, after which
his hct stabilized off anticoagulation.
Cardiology was consulted regarding the safety of stopping
anticoagulation with a St. [**Male First Name (un) 1525**] mechanical valve present.
They concluded that the risk of restarting anticoagulation would
clearly have to be weighed against the risk of bleeding, but
that 3-4 days off anticoagulation would not lead to excessive
risk. The patient's heparin was restarted in the evening of his
third day off anticoagulation, and the pt had no evidence of
bleeding for the rest of his hospital stay.
Renal was consulted regarding the patient's acute renal failure,
which was thought to be secondary to acute tubular necrosis as a
consequence of transient hypoperfusion of the remaining kidney
either intraoperatively or postoperatively during his bleeding
episode. The patient's creatinine peaked at 5.3 on [**2166-3-2**],
after which his urine output improved significantly and his
renal function began to improve, settling out at 1.8 on
[**Date Range **]. He did not require dialysis during this
hospitalization.
After heparin was restarted and the patient's hct was noted to
be stable with a therapeutic PTT, the pt was transferred from
the ICU to the floor. The remainder of his hospital course was
uncomplicated, and involved restarting coumadin to reach a
therapeutic INR of 2.5-3.5. This required coumadin doses of 7.5
mg PO qhs to eventually reach an INR of 2.5 upon [**Date Range **]. The
patient's primary care physician was [**Name (NI) 653**], who recommended
discharging the patient on his home coumadin dose (3.0) with a
plan to follow-up with the pt's PCP three days later for an INR
check and coumadin dose adjustment.
Of note, one day before [**Name (NI) **], the pt was noted to have
small openings in his R flank wound in its medialmost- and
lateralmost edges. This breakdown was probed, and was noted to
be purely superficial, < 1 cm in depth and approximately 1-2 cm
in width. Steri strips with benzoin were applied and dry gauze
was applied. The patient was asked to call Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] if his
wound drainage worsened or if the wound opened up further.
Before he was [**First Name (STitle) **], new steri strips were applied to the
extent of his wound. He was discharged in stable condition,
voiding without difficulty, ambulating without difficulty, and
tolerating a regular diet. He will call Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] for a
follow-up appointment.

Chief Complaint:
Transferred from OSH, intubated/sedated, stroke care
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Angiographically guided clot retrieval procedure, insertion of
central venous catheter, arterial line procedure
History of Present Illness:
The pt is a 44 year-old right-handed man with a past
medical history significant for HLD, depression who presents as
an OSH transfer with a basilar occlusion.
History derived from wife who was at bedside. Patient noted the
onset of nausea and vomiting on Monday. Wife thinks the patient
woke up with this sensation. He denied any sensation of
vertigo,
he apparently had a mild headache. In addition to the severe
nausea and vomiting he felt unsteady and kept veering to the
right when he was walking. This sensation had been improving
over the last two days but was still present so he made an
appointment with his PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] was able to drive and get to his
PCP on his own power this morning. Besides the above symptoms
his wife stated that he didn't have any facial asymmetry, no
obvious weakness, no problems with vision, no difficulty with
language.
At the PCP's office he was by report feeling worse and
disoriented. We have not been able to contact the PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) **]. He
then reportedly collapsed at the office with a question of
seizure like activity, and possible left eye deviation. EMS
arrived and he was intubated and transferred to a local hospital
then [**Hospital1 **]. At the OSH they got a head CT which apparently was
normal and then a CTA which showed an occlusion of the right
vertebral artery, and an occlusion in the top of the basilar
artery. There endovascular service was not available and he was
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for endovascular intervention.
Past Medical History:
- HLD
- Depression
- Insomnia
Social History:
Lives at home with his wife and three children. He is
a sales representative. No history of smoking. No drug use.
Uses EtOH on social occasions.
Family History:
Both his mother and father had CAD, he had a
grandmother with a stroke. Migraine history in his family but
he
does not have any headaches. No history that wife is aware of
bleeding or clotting disorders.

Stool O/P: pending
Stool Cultures: pending
EKG [**2127-10-15**]: Sinus bradycardia. Q-T interval prolongation. No
previous tracing available for comparison.
CXR [**2127-10-15**]: Appropriately positioned ET and NG tubes. Mild
retrocardiac
atelectasis.
ECHO [**2127-10-18**]: The left atrium is normal in size. No atrial
septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2D, color
Doppler or saline contrast at rest. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global
systolic function (LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left
ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There is abnormal
septal motion/position. The diameters of aorta at the sinus,
ascending and arch levels are normal. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and
no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Physiologic mitral regurgitation
is seen (within normal limits). The estimated pulmonary artery
systolic pressure is normal. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion.
MRI/MRA ([**2127-10-16**]): 1. Complete occlusion of the basilar artery
with multiple acute infarcts in the right cerebellum, right
vermis, and bilateral paramedian pons. Top of the basilar
artery, including bilateral posterior cerebrals and superior
cerebellar arteries appear patent. Complete occlusion of the
right vertebral artery with intrinsic high T1
signal may represent occlusion secondary to dissection.
MRI/MRA ([**2127-10-19**]): Extensive acute infarctions in the
bilateral pons, right superior vermis, and right superior and
inferior cerebellum, and small acute infarction in the inferior
left cerebellar hemisphere, with expected temporal evolution.
New small acute infarction more superiorly in the left
cerebellar hemisphere. Minimal effacement of the right lateral
wall of the superior fourth ventricle, new since the prior exam.
Partially improved flow through the distal basilar artery, which
was previously occluded. Persistent occlusion of the right
superior cerebellar artery.
Persistent abnormal irregularity and narrowing of the
intracranial right
vertebral artery. Persistent nonvisualization of the right
posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
Brief Hospital Course:
For two days prior to seeking medical attention, he was
experiencing symptoms of nausea, vomitting and headaches. He did
not receive TPA at the outside hospital. Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted
to the ICU following an interventional procedure which
recanalized occluded vessels in the posterior circulation (right
vertebral artery and top of the basilar artery). He was
intubated on arrival and remained intubated for this procedure.
He was transferred to the ICU following this procedure.
- He has remained hemodynamically stable during his course in
the ICU and has not required IV pressors. He was initiated on IV
anticoagulation with heparin and received his first dose of
warfarin on [**2127-10-22**]. His heparin drip was discontinued on
discharge and should receive his first dose of lovenox at his
rehab facility.
- He was plavix loaded in the interventional suite and while he
was receiving both plavix and heparin, he was noted to have some
oropharyngeal bleeding that was formally addressed by a
bronchoscopic evaluation showing the presence of a traumatic
lesion in the soft pharynx. This was treated with packing and
has subsequently remained bleeding-free; additionally his plavix
was discontinued.
- On the days following his admission, we have noticed an
improvement in his overall neurological examination. Today, he
is able to move his eyes conjugately in all four directions as
well as possesses significant neck movement. He has started to
regain some chewing movements of his mouth but cannot
volitionally open his mouth or protrude his tongue. He does have
some very slight volitional movement of his upper extremities
along the plane of gravity but this comes with a prolonged
reaction time.
- He received a tracheostomy and PEG tube on [**2127-10-21**]
and has subsequently done well on trach collar. His tube feeds
were reinitiated overnight, and they are currently at goal. He
has remained on trach collar for >2 days.
- He had a repeat MRI on [**2127-10-19**] which showed completion of
his stroke with extensive areas of infarcts in the region of the
midbrain and right cerebellum as well as partial recanalization
of his right vertebral and basilar artery
- His family has remained at his bedside throughout his stay. We
had a family meeting on [**2127-10-17**] where we discussed his
prognosis and likely prolonged rehabilitation.
- He has been seen by and worked with speech therapy to develop
a system of YES (looking up) and NO (looking down). In addition,
his therapist provided some communication boards to help improve
his communication skills. With PT's help, he has also been able
to sit up in chair during much of the day time.
- He did spike some fevers during his ICU course associated with
a slight elevation in WBC and foul smelling sputum. Cultures
have eventually grown out Coag positive staph aureus for which
he is currently receiving IV vancomycin and ciprofloxacin. He is
also receiving aztreonam so as to cover for coag negative staph
bacteremia.
- Prior to his discharge, he received a PICC line. His INR
remained subtherapeutic in spite of three days of 5mg of
warfarin QHS, and his dose was increased prior to discharge.
Physical Examination on Discharge:
Vitals: T 37.6-37.9, 59-65, 142-158/68-78, 16-24, 96-100%,
4.5L/2.8L

Neurological Examination:
Mental Status: Eyes are open at baseline. Can shake/nod head
slowly. Intermittently will follow commands. Variably responds
correctly by looking up/down.
Cranial Nerves: PERRL, Able to provide conjugate gaze in all
four
directions but has difficulty tracking objects. There is no
apparent facial droop or ptosis. There are no corneal reflexes,
and no gag, although he does have a cough. There is no VOR.
Cannot open his mouth and show his teeth or protrude tongue.
Motor: Extensor posturing to pain in both upper extremities.
Some
right sided volitional movement along the plane of gravity but
is
slow. Lower extremities spontaneously extensor posture, also
occasional triple flexion on painful stimulation of the lower
extremities. He occasionally withdraws to pain. Reflexes are
normal throughout, toes are up bilaterally
Sensory: Difficult to assess
Coordination/Gait: Not tested
Transitional Issues:
- Please keep Mr. [**Known lastname **] [**Last Name (Titles) 90846**] on warfarin (he needs this
for the indefinite future). He can be on a lovenox bridge to a
goal INR of 2.0 to 3.0. Please check coags daily especially
while his antibiotics are being discontinued.
- Please have Mr. [**Known lastname **] follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of the Division
of Vascular Neurology on [**Month (only) **] the 16th, [**2127**] at 10AM.
- He requires a total of 14 days of IV antibiotics. His
vancomycin, aztreonam and ciprofloxacin can be safely
discontinued on [**2127-11-3**]. These are designed to
treat a coag positive staph pneumonia and coag negative staph
bacteremia.
- Mr. [**Known lastname **] is an extremely motivated individual with a highly
supportive family. Please provide aggressive phyiscal therapy
and occupational therapy for him.

Discharge Instructions:
Mr. [**Known lastname **], you received treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of
the [**Hospital1 69**] for a stroke in the
back portion of your brain. This caused your symptoms of nausea
and vomiting for two days, followed by your collapse at your
physician's office. Our neurointerventional team were able to
fix the blockage in the blood vessels of your brain, but there
was still a large portion of tissue that did not receive oxygen
and nutrients for a long period of time. The region of your
brain infarcted is called the brainstem, which can control a
variety of functions including swallowing, breathing and has
passing through connections that control movement.
- Initially, you were placed on a breathing machine to help
maintain regular breathing. This was switched over to a
"tracheostomy", which is an artificial breathing tube that
connects directly to your trachea. This is a reversible
procedure, that may be able to come out in the future.
- Since you have significant swallowing dysfunction, you
received a PEG tube that inserts directly into your stomach. You
can receive tube feeds and water through this tube to provide
you vital nutrients that you need to recover.
- It is important that you try your best to participate as much
as possible in rehabilitation exercises to help improve your
strength over time.
- We initiated you on a medication called IV heparin to keep
your blood thin and [**Hospital1 90846**] and prevent future clots.
This will be transitioned to a pill called WARFARIN or COUMADIN,
which will do the same to your blood (blood thinner).
- You will receive antibiotics for a limited period of time to
treat a blood stream infection as well as a pneumonia that you
developed while in the ICU.
- We have scheduled an appointment for you to see one of our
stroke specialists on the [**10-24**] at 1:00PM. Your
day-to day care will be under the physician at your acute
rehabilitation facility.
- In addition to these, you will continue to take
CITALOPRAM for depression
WARFARIN for blood thinning
LISINOPRIL for hypertension
SIMVASTATIN for high cholesterol
INSULIN as needed for high blood sugars
FAMOTIDINE twice daily to prevent stress ulcers in your stomach

History of Present Illness:
patient is a 27-year-old man with history of
obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression who presents from
home after being found down by his friend's girlfriend.
According to Friend, [**Name (NI) **] (see below) they were "partying hard"
at a friend's house and then woke up the next morning to find
[**Doctor Last Name **] as well as another friend unable to wake up. [**Doctor First Name **] believes
that [**Doctor Last Name **] took too many "opiates", because "this is what opiate
overdose looks to me." Everyone was worried about [**Doctor Last Name **] so they

Narcan in the field, 2mg IM narcan in ED and then got 2nd mg IV
Narcan - as he appeared to be protecting his airway adequately,
he was not intubated. He was however started on Narcan drip
prior to admission for concern of persistent somnolence. He also
received 1L of intravenous fluids.
.
On the floor, he feels sleepy and tired. He does not recall what
happened. He would prefer to have his brother [**Name (NI) 653**] and when
asked, he agrees for us to contact his outpatient psychiatrist.

Brief Hospital Course:
# Overdose/Somnolence - No evidence of trauma on exam. Urine
toxicology was positive for methadone, cocaine, and
amphetamines. Amphetamine likely positive in setting of
prescribed Adderall. He does not have medication patches on his
body or needle track marks. Patient responded to Narcan and was
on Narcan Drip in ED.
His alertness waxed and waned the morning of admission. His
respiratory rate remained normal and he did not require Narcan
after admission. He received 4L IVF. [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] scale was
maintained.
Psychiatry was consulted in the morning; they did not believe
there was any element of suicidality in the presentation.
Outpatient psychiatrists [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 40784**], and [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 40785**]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] (former Psychiatrist) have been [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 653**] and are aware
of admission; both agree with involving the inpatient
psychiatric consult team.
Throughout the day, the patient's mental status returned to an
appropriate baseline; he continued to deny opiod ingestion, but
he does state that he was unaware of what he was consuming at
the shindig.
# Hypotension - likely related to opiate overdose. Differential
in a person who overdosed in his age group would include GI
bleed; his HCT did trend down from 41-33 but his other cell
lines decreased and he was not noted to have diarrhea. He
received 4L IVF.
.
#Leukocytosis - Initial leukocytosis quickly resolved after
admission. Unclear etiology.
Medications on Admission:
Medications:
--Adderall 15 mg [**Hospital1 **]
--Abilify 10 mg QD
--citalopram 60 mg QAM
--clonazepam 0.5 mg [**Hospital1 **] PRN
Discharge Disposition:
Home
Discharge Diagnosis:
Overdose
Discharge Condition:
Good, stable
Discharge Instructions:
You were evaluated in the ED and the ICU for increased sedation
after "a night of partying." Although you do not know what
specifically you ingested, your lab results demonstrate that you
ingested opiods. This would explain your increased sedation,
decreased drive to breath, and decreased blood pressure; these
symptoms reversed when we used an [**Doctor Last Name 360**] that targets opiods. You
were observed throughout the day and improved to a normal mental
status.
Stop using drugs. Continue to see your psychiatrist. See below
instructions for danger signs that would suggest that you return
to the ED.
Followup Instructions:
Followup with your outpatient psychiatrist, Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **],
within 3 days.

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is a 60 yo male with PMHx of CAD by cath at the [**Hospital1 112**] in
[**2189**], HTN, HLD, and OSA (does not use CPAP regularly) recently
with chest pain and oupatient ETT revealing significant ST
depression admitted last night with chest pain at OSH and
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for cardiac catheterization found to have
extensive 3-vessel CAD referred to cardiac surgery for CABG.
The patient was brought to the Operating Room on [**2199-5-21**] where
the patient underwent a coronary artery bypass grafting times
six (LIMA>LAD, SVG>Diag, SVG>Ramus, SVG>OM, SVG>OM, SVG>PDA).
Overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and
post-operatively was transferred to the CVICU in stable
condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. POD 1 found the
patient extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably.
The patient was neurologically [**Date Range 5235**] and hemodynamically
stable. Beta blocker was initiated and the patient was diuresed
towards the preoperative weight.Baseline creat 1.4-1.6. The
patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further
recovery. Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued
without complication. On the morning of post-operative day
three Mr. [**Known lastname 43681**] had intermittent rapid atrial fibrillation
150-160's which converted to sinus rhythm with increased beta
blockers and was bolused with amiodarone and placed on taper.
Anticoagulation was started, goal INR [**1-4**] to be managed by [**Hospital 6435**]
[**Hospital3 **]. At discharge his creat was 1.6 and
potassium sightly elevated. He has been aggressively diursed and
is being discharged on low dose lasix and no potassium
supplement. He will need to have chem 7 checked over the next
couple of days and diuretics/potassium adjusted as needed. The
patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for
assistance with strength and mobility. By the time of discharge
on POD 6 the patient was ambulating freely, his wounds were
healing well and pain was controlled with oral analgesics. The
patient was discharged to home in good condition with
appropriate follow up instructions. VNA Allcare network to f/u
with him at home.

CTA CHEST W&W/O C &RECONS; CT ABDOMEN W/CONTRAST
CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: The pulmonary arteries opacify without
evidence for filling defects. The appearance of the aorta is
stable from [**2160-3-11**]. The mediastinal lymph nodes are
unchanged, none meeting pathologic criteria. NG tube is present
within the stomach. The bronchi are patent to the subsegmental
level. There is new right lower lobe atelectasis compared to
[**2160-3-11**]. Right upper lobe pleural thickening measuring 2
x 1 cm is unchanged. There is a left upper lobe pulmonary
nodule, unchanged from [**2160-3-11**].
CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: The liver enhances without focal
lesions. There is new pericholecystic fluid and inflammatory
change that is present between the gallbladder and head of the
pancreas. This is new from [**2160-3-11**]. Given the
predominance of inflammation adjacent to the pancreas, this is
more likely a sequela of pancreatitis. However, cholecystitis
cannot be entirely excluded and clinical correlation is
recommended. The pancreas enhances homogeneously. The common
bile duct is not dilated. Below the body of the pancreas is a
fluid collection measuring 5 x 4.5 cm that is smaller than [**3-11**], [**2159**]. The spleen, adrenals, and small bowel are normal.
Multiple air- fluid levels in the small bowel are present but
within normal limits. The small bowel is not distended. Along
the midline upper abdominal wall is a 3 cm fat-containing
defect. More inferiorly, there is a large abdominal wall defect.
Patient is status post closure of abdominal wall surgery by
secondary intention. Within the subcutaneous tissues of the
right anterior abdominal wall is a 10 x 2.4 cm fluid structure.
It demonstrates minimal rim enhancement. This likely represents
a seroma, but liquefying hematoma or abscess cannot be excluded.
CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: The rectum and sigmoid are unchanged
with marked sigmoid diverticulosis. There is marked
atherosclerotic calcification of the abdominal aorta and its
major branches, and surgical clips are present indicating
abdominal surgery. Multiple hypodense lesions in both kidneys
are unchanged and likely represent simple cysts. The distal
ureters and bladder appear normal. A Foley is present within a
compressed bladder. The remaining large bowel is normal caliber.
There is no free fluid in the pelvis. A healed left inferior
pubic ramus fracture is unchanged. Otherwise the osseous
structures are only remarkable for degenerative disease
throughout the osseous skeleton.
IMPRESSION:
1. New pericholecystic fluid/inflammatory change is most
predominant between the gallbladder and pancreas. This is likely
be the sequela of pancreatitis, but cholecystitis cannot be
entirely excluded. Clinical correlation is advised.
2. Persistent but improving 5 cm peripancreatic fluid collection
below the body of the pancreas.
3. New 10 x 2.4 cm right abdominal wall fluid collection that
likely represents seroma, but hematoma or abscess cannot be
excluded. These findings were discussed with the Emergency
Department house staff caring for the patient at 4 a.m. on [**4-27**], [**2159**].

GUIDANCE PERC TRANS BIL DRAINAGE US [**2160-4-29**] 3:31 PM
PROCEDURE:
Preprocedure consent was obtained from the patient's two
daughters, one of whom is the healthcare proxy. Abnormal INR was
corrected preprocedure with 3 units of fresh frozen plasma.
Preprocedure confirmation of patient identity and nature of
procedure was performed.
Initial ultrasound images show moderately distended gallbladder.
Following aseptic technique using a right lateral intercostal
approach and following local and intravenous analgesia (because
of a history of lidocaine allergy, a different [**Doctor Last Name 360**] without
reported crossover was used). An 8.2-French [**Last Name (un) 2823**] catheter was
placed within the distended gallbladder body. The pigtail tip
was formed within the gallbladder body, aspiration yielded 80 cc
of dark bile. Sample has been sent for microbiological analysis
as requested.

CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2160-5-5**] 5:06 PM
IMPRESSION:
1. Continued moderate left pleural effusion and left lower lobe
atelectasis and/or pneumonia.
2. Mild congestive heart failure.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted to the surgical service on [**2160-4-26**] after a
CT scan of the abdomen was performed from the emergency room
showing fluid and stranding around the pancreas and gallbladder
in addition to an abdominal wall seroma. Her PICC line was
discontinued as it was purulent appearing. A NG tube was placed
in the emergency department for decompression. She was started
on vancomycin/levofloxacin/flagyl and blood cultures were sent.
Her NGT was discontinued on [**2160-4-28**]. On [**2160-4-29**] she continued to
be febrile to 103.2 with rigors annd tachycardia. She was
maintained on IV lopressor for heart rate control and started on
TPN. An ultrasound showed a moderately distended gallbladder
with wall thickening and edema. On the ultrasound no stones or
definite sludge seen within the gallbladder. A HIDA scan was
performed due to further evaluate for cholecystitis and was
suspicious for cholecystitis as there was no tracer uptake in
the gallbladder on delayed images.
.
She was taken to interventional radiology for a percutaneous
cholecystostomy tube placement and drainage. She was continued
on antibiotics and fluconazole was added to her regimen. Blood
cultures and the biliary cultures had no growth, however
antibiotics had been initiated at an early stage. She was
observed in the ICU following percutaneous tube placement due to
tachycardia and mild hypotension. She was noted to be in rapid
atrial fibrillation on the first evening in the ICU and she was
rate controlled with medication then spontaneously reverted back
to sinus rhythm within 12 hours. She continued in the SICU and
recovered well with stable hemodynamics following this. She was
out of bed and working with physical therapy. Her diet was
slowly advanced. She was transferred to the floor on
post-procedure day 2. She had an uneventful course on the
floor. She worked with physical therapy and nursing for
increasing activity. She remained afebrile and antibiotics were
discontinued. She and was monitored by nutrition for PO intake.
Calorie counts for [**Date range (1) 16935**] was 1162/1292/1227 and 44/59/51gm
of protein. Per inpatient nutritionist caloric goal is 1250
calories per day. She will continue on boost supplements and
needs encouragement and aid with meals.
She was transferred to rehab on [**2160-5-9**] where she will continue
[**Hospital1 **] dressing changes and physical therapy. The drain will
remain in place and she will follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **].

================================================================
Imaging
CTA chest [**1-28**] 1. Bibasilar bronchiectasis, unchanged compared
with yesterdays examination with mulktilobar peribronchovascular
ground-glass opacity with a tree-in-[**Male First Name (un) 239**] configuration. This
pattern is nonspecific infectious or inflammatory, and
consistent with small airways infection, atypical infections
including fungal infection such as aspergillosis. 2. There is
no pulmonary embolism.
Echocardiography [**1-30**]: Poor image quality. The left atrium is
normal in size. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color
Doppler. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and
global systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%). Due to
suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. There is no ventricular septal defect.
The right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with normal free
wall contractility. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The
aortic valve is not well seen. There is no aortic valve
stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. No mitral
regurgitation is seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure
could not be determined. There is no pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
56M with h/o AML s/p allo SCT c/b chronic skin/pulmonary GVHD,
who presented to clinic with URI symptoms, myalgias, and
decreased PO intake and was found to be hypoxic, admitted on
[**2147-1-27**] and discharged on [**2147-2-12**].
# Hypoxia: On admission was hypoxic to 90% on RA, febrile and
w/o leukocytosis then rapidly developed more profound hypoxia on
the floor. On transfer to the ICU required 100% non rebreather
mask. Underwent CTA which demonstrated multifocal tree-[**Male First Name (un) 239**]
opacities consistent with bronchiolitis and ruled out PE. Nasal
swab DFA Was positive for influenza. His high oxygen demand was
thought to be multifactorial with viral
bronchiolitis/pneumonitis and possibly exacerbation of
underlying chronic pulmonary GVH. Other contributing mechanisms
were atelectasis, under-recruitment and sleep apnea as evidenced
by his improved oxygenation with non-invasive positive pressure
ventilation. Significant Heart Failure was ruled out per [**Male First Name (un) 72257**] and
normal echocardiography. Patient was treated with Tamiflu 150mg
[**Hospital1 **] and will complete 10 days of treatment on day of ICU
[**Hospital1 **] (this increased dose and prolonged dose is as per
recent guidelines for Flu treatment in BMT patients). D/t to his
high risk of superinfection as well as possible LLL infiltrate
he was also covered with Abx: Vanco+Aztereonem+Azithro were
started on [**1-27**], on [**2-2**] aztreonem was changed to meropenem for
more wide spectrum coverage. Azithromycine was intially given
[**Date range (1) 72263**] and then restarted on [**2-2**] and continued untill
[**2-5**] when urine legionella returned neg. On day of ICU
[**Month/Year (2) **] patient is thus on day 11 of Vanco and day 5 of
Meropenem. Patient's home prednsione dose of 10mg daily was
increased to 40mg daily for suspected Acute on chronic pulmonary
GVHD, this was reduced back to home dose a day prior to ICU
[**Month/Year (2) **]. IVIG was given on [**1-30**] for hypogammaglobulinemia and
influenza infection without complications. Acyclovir and Bactrim
prophylaxis were continued. Patient continued to require 60-80%
of Oxygen throughout most of his ICU stay which we were able to
wean to 50% on non-invasive ventilation, but patient did not
tolerated this due to discomfort from the mask. Over the final
24h of his ICU stay his oxygemnation improved remarkably and on
ICU discharged O2 requirement is down to 4L through nasal canula
with Saturations >92%. He was then transferred to the floor
with gradual improvement of his oxygenation as he completed the
antiviral ([**2-9**], 10 day course) and antibiotics ([**2-11**], 10 day
course). He declined CPAP on the floor. His O2Sat remained
stable and he was discharged with home oxygen. He was
instructed to have follow up appointment with his doctor to
determine further need for oxygen requirement as his pneumonia
improves.
# AML: s/p SCT ([**6-/2143**]), c/b chronic GVHD of skin/lungs.
Patient was on higher dose of prednisone while in the ICU which
was tapered back to home dose of 10 mg by the time of transfer
from ICU to floor. He remained on home prednisone and ID
prophylaxis with acyclovir and Bactrim.
# Hypogammaglobulinemia. He received 0.4g/kg of IVIG on [**1-30**].
IgG on [**2-5**] improved to 523. No additional IVIG was given. His
level can be monitored in the outpatient setting.
# H/o PE: Patient was intially supertheraputic d/t azithromycin
therapy, recieved vitamin K and warfarine was held. He then
became undertheraputic and was bridged with Lovenox. Warfarin
was restarted on [**2-3**] at 5mg daily, INR is 2.1 on day of ICU
[**Month/Year (2) **] and Lovenox was discontinued. He continued with 5 mg
warfarin with INR beteween 2.0-2.3 until [**2147-2-11**] when INR
level dropped to 1.8 and he received a total of 7 mg warfarin on
the evening of [**2147-2-11**] with INR still at 1.8. He was
instructed to take 7.5 mg of warfarin on Sunday and 5 mg of
warfarin on [**Year (4 digits) 766**] with lab on Tuesday in the outpatient
setting, so that his INR can be followed up by his doctor.
Adjustment of his warfarin is likely given recent
discontinuation of antibiotics.
# Type 2 DM. Because of his poor po intake initially, NPH was
held. As his appetite improved, his insulin was readjusted to
10 unit NPH [**Hospital1 **] and then to 12 unit NPH [**Hospital1 **] with insulin sliding
scale. Patient reports that his home dose insulin is 12 units
and not 10 units [**Hospital1 **]. He was discharged on home dose NPH.
# Hypertension. He continued with home metoprolol tartrate 12.5
mg [**Hospital1 **] as at home.
# Hyperlipidemia. He continued with home atorvastatin 20 mg
daily.
# Previous EKG changes: Early in ICU course patient noted to
have transient lateral/posterior ST depressions in V4-V6, I and
AvL. With CE x 3 neg. and No CP. This was likely demand ischemia
in this patient with multiple coronary risk factors but no known
CAD. He continued statin and beta blocker. Consider outpatient
stress test.
# FEN. Patient refused a diabetic diet and preferred regular
diet while on the floor.
# Access: PICC while in the hospital.

[**6-12**] CXR:
IMPRESSION: Congestive heart failure and moderate pulmonary
edema, persistent
or recurrent over six days, progressively decompensated over ten
days.
[**6-13**] CXR:
Persistent cardiomegaly. Worsening pulmonary vascular congestion
accompanied by diffuse interstitial edema as well as more
confluent perihilar
and basilar opacities likely representing alveolar edema as
well. Small to
moderate pleural effusions are unchanged. New opacity in right
mid lung
adjacent to the minor fissure may reflect loculated fluid in the
fissure with
adjacent atelectasis, but attention to this region on followup
radiographs
would be helpful to exclude a developing pneumonia or other
acute process in
this region.
[**6-13**] echo:
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size.
There is moderate symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function
(LVEF>55%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an increased left
ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The diameters of
aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. The
aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. There is
critical aortic valve stenosis (valve area <0.8cm2). Mild to
moderate ([**12-28**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate (2+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity
of mitral regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.]
There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There
is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Critical aortic valve stenosis. Mild-moderate aortic
regurgitation. Symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
preserved regional and global systolic function. Pulmonary
artery hypertension. Moderate mitral regurgitation.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2197-7-12**], the
severity of aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and pulmonary
artery hypertension have increased. Bilateral pleural effusions
are now present.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:
The patient has severe aortic valve stenosis. Based on [**2195**]
ACC/AHA Valvular Heart Disease Guidelines, if the patient is
symptomatic (angina, syncope, CHF) and a surgical candidate,
surgical intervention has been shown to improve survival.
[**6-15**] Cardiac Cath: pending
Carotid US:
1. Mild to moderate plaque with bilateral less than 40% carotid
stenosis,
unchanged from [**2196-2-24**].
2. Complete thrombosis of the left external jugular vein. The
deep veins are
patent without evidence of thrombosis.
CT chest:
IMPRESSION:
1. Known aortic valve calcifications consistent with known
aortic stenosis.
2. Bilateral moderate pleural effusions, most likely layering.
3. Evidence of minimal interstitial pulmonary edema,
significantly improved
since [**2201-6-13**].
4. Essential sparing of ascending aorta from coarse
calcifications but
evidence of minimal may be intimal calcifications present.
5. No left kidney seen in orthotopic location, resected ?.
Brief Hospital Course:
Presented to emergency room in pulmonary edema treated with
intravenous lasix and morphine with improvement. She was
admitted and started on lasix drip for diuresis with improvement
in pulmonary status and then transitioned to bolus dosing.
Additionally she had echocardiogram that revealed severe aortic
stenosis and surgery was consulted to evaluated for surgical
intervention. Her preoperative workup included cardiac
catheterization that revealed 40 % mid vessel stenosis. Her
preoperative urine revealed ecsherichia coli treated with
nitrofurantoin and repeat urine culture [**6-17**] had no growth. Her
hyponatremia related to heart failure was monitored with
improved slowly.
On [**2201-6-19**] she was taken to the operating room for aortic
valve replacement and aortic endarectomy. See operative report
for further details. She received vancomycin for perioperative
antibiotics and was transferred to the intensive care unit for
post operative management on epinephrine and neosynephrine. On
post operative day one she was weaned from sedation, was slow to
wake and was extubated that evening without complications.
Additionally she was weaned off all inotropes and pressors and
started on lasix for diuresis and betablockers for heart rate
management. She continued to slowly progress on post operative
day two she had atrial fibrillation treated with amiodarone and
betablockers. She converted back to sinus rhythm. Amiodarone
drip was completed due to intermittent burst of atrial
fibrillation and transitioned to oral amiodarone. She was not
started on coumadin due to limit time frame of atrial
fibrillation. She remained in the intensive care unit for
hemodynamic monitoring. On post operative day three she was
transferred to the floor. Physical therapy worked with her on
strength and mobility. On post operative day five she was ready
for discharge to rehab - [**Hospital **] center [**Location (un) **].

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 602**]
Chief Complaint:
dyspnea, stable [**First Name3 (LF) 8813**] dissection
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation
History of Present Illness:
History of Present Illness: Mr. [**Known lastname 7474**] is a 64M with a history
of active prostate cancer s/p completion of radiation tx
yesterday, who presented to [**Hospital3 **] with dyspnea on
exertion. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Hospital1 **] documentation, he was walking upstairs to
do laundry, and when he came back down he had persistent
shortness of breath. He has had some intermittent DOE for the
last several months, but is usually able to catch his breath
with rest whereas today he felt persistently SOB. According to
his wife, he was told that his grandson (to whom he is very
attached) was in a MVA, and after that he became very anxious
and SOB. She thinks anxiety may play a large role in his SOB.
At [**Hospital1 **], he had O2 sat 92% on 4L by NC. Labs were notable for
WBC of 7.0 with 15% bandemia, Hct of 24.9, creatinine of 4.0,
and lactate of 0.8. He underwent chest x-ray that showed
enlarged aorta, and subsequent CT (noncontrast given renal
failure) that showed dissection extending from arch to beyond
the level of the renal arteries. At that time, it was not known
that he has a history of [**Hospital1 8813**] dissection, and this was felt to
be acute. He was started on BIPAP for his SOB and an esmolol gtt
to control blood pressures. He received levofloxacin for
possible pneumonia and was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management of the dissection. In transit to the ED, he removed
BIPAP so he was placed on NRB.
In the ED, initial VS were Pulse: 113, RR: 22, BP: 149/91,
O2Sat: 100, O2Flow: 100NRB. While in the ED, he developed a
temperature to 102.4 rectal. He received 1 g of vancomycin, 4.5
g Zosyn, and acetaminophen for fever/infection. He was continued
on esmolol gtt and started on nitroprusside gtt. At the time of
arrival to ED, chronicity of patient's [**Hospital1 8813**] dissection was
unknown. He was intubated for planned TEE and MRI prior to
purported surgical intervention. He was sedated with propofol
but BP dropped so changed to fentanyl/versed.
.
On arrival to the MICU, he is intubated and sedated. Has drool
coming from mouth, so suctioned which causes patient to
wince/appear uncomfortable. Otherwise minimally responsive to
Qs.
Past Medical History:
- Prostate cancer: [**Doctor Last Name **] Grade is 4+3. He is followed by
radiation oncology Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 12354**] undergoing radiation treatment.
- [**Last Name (STitle) **] dissection: First noted in [**2114**]. Most recent assessment
[**3-/2116**] in Atrius records: Type B [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] dissection with proximal

dimension. The dissection flap extends into the left common
iliac artery. The celiac, SMA, and right renal artery arise from
the true lumen while the left renal artery arises from the false
lumen.

III) Imaging:
CT Chest/Abdomen without Contrast:
IMPRESSION
1. Limited non-contrast CT of the chest and abdomen
demonstrating a type B
[**Year/Month/Day 8813**] dissection extending to the level of the infrarenal
aorta, inferior
aspect not included on the images. The distal extent is not
assessed in this study. Allowing for differences in technique,
this has not significantly changed since the earlier study of
[**2115-7-18**]. Assessment of the false and true lumens and the
visceral branches is limited in this study.
2. New since the prior study are small simple bilateral pleural
effusions
with bibasilar atelectasis.
3. Moderate centrilobular emphysema, apical predominant.
4. 3.8 cm left renal cyst is not characterized in this study, a
non-emergent
renal ultrasound can be performed for further assessment if not
already
obtained.
Renal Doppler US:
IMPRESSION:
1. Normal bilateral main renal artery waveforms and resistive
indices.
2. Left main renal artery cannot followed back to the aorta due
to technical
reasons.
3. Abdominal [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] dissection.
MRA TORSO:
IMPRESSION:
1. Redemonstration of type B [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] dissection with slight
interval increase
in size of the aorta.
2. Moderate-sized pleural effusions with adjacent compressive
atelectasis
bilaterally.
IV) Studies:
Renal Ultrasound:
FINDINGS:
The right kidney measures 10.7, the left kidney measures 11.9
cm without
evidence of hydronephrosis or stones. There is a 1 cm left upper
pole kidney
cyst and a 5-mm right lower pole hyperechoic lesion, likely
representing AML
(angiomyolipoma).
There is normal perfusion of both kidneys. Both renal arteries
show normal
waveforms, RIs and flow velocities.
The right main renal artery can be followed to the aorta and
demonstrates
normal waveform. The right renal vein is patent. There is a
normal resistive
indix at the right main renal artery (0.65).
At the left kidney, the main renal artery and vein demonstrate
normal
waveforms. The left renal artery cannot be followed to the aorta
due to
technical reasons. The resistive index of the left main renal
artery is 0.61.
TTE:
The left atrium is elongated. No atrial septal defect is seen by
2D or color Doppler. The estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5
mmHg. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal cavity size and global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Due
to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. The estimated cardiac index is normal
(>=2.5L/min/m2). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] root is mildly dilated at the
sinus level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The
descending thoracic aorta is mildly dilated. No dissection flap
is seen (best assessed by thoracic/chest MRI/CT or TEE). The
[**Year (4 digits) 8813**] valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). There is no
[**Year (4 digits) 8813**] valve stenosis. No [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. There is no
mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with preserved global biventricular
systolic function. Dilated thoraic aorta. Pulmonary artery
hypertension. Mild mitral regurgitation. Pulmonary artery
hypertension.
If clinically indicated, a thoracic/chest MRI/CT or TEE is
suggested to better characterize an [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] dissection.

Brief Hospital Course:
64 year old man with a past medical history signficant for
chronic kidney disease, hypertension, prostate cancer s/p XRT,
and type [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 11916**] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 8813**] dissection (dxed [**2114**]) transferred
from outside hospital for hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Hospital course notable for finding of stable type B [**Year (4 digits) 8813**]
dissection, acute on chronic diastolic heart failure due to
malignant uncontrolled hypertension, and acute on chronic renal
failure.
#Acute on chronic diastolic heart failure/Malignant
Hypertension:
Patient presented to [**Hospital3 **] with shortness of breath
and hypoxia requiring high flow oxygen. He had a chest CT which
showed type B [**Hospital3 8813**] dissection (old, but not clear at OSH).
Transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for management of [**Hospital1 8813**] dissection (see
below). Upon transfer patient required escalating oxygen support
and was intubated for both hypoxia and to facilitate workup of
dissection. Patient admitted initially to the ICU and was
diuresed and blood pressure controlled. Following extubation
patient was transferred to the medical floor where he required
intensive titration of blood pressure medications to maintain
goal SBP <130 although BPs on the floor were 120-160. Patient
was euvolemic on discharge and it was felt that initial hypoxia
was due to malignant hypertension. Medications were uptitrated
and patient was discharged on a regimen of max dose labetalol,
clonidine 0.2 mg TID, amlodipine 10, and hydralazine 75mg TID. A
TTE prior to discharge showed a preserved EF with mild symmetric
LVH. Patient was euvolemic breathing on RA prior to discharge.
On follow up could consider uptitratring clonidine or hydral or
starting diltiazem for better BP control if needed. Goal SBP
<130. Lasix 20mg po daily was started for chronic diastolic CHF
as well. Home VNA was arranged to help keep BP within goal.
#Acute On Chronic Renal Failure:
The patient presented to [**Hospital1 **] with a creatinine of 4. His best
creatinine on record was from [**Hospital1 **] in [**2115**] at 1.7. Recently his
baseline has been approximately 2.5. His elevated creatinine was
felt to be related to malignant hypertension and improved with
treatment of blood pressure and CHF. Renal doppler ultrasound
did not show renal artery stenosis, however, it is possible that
his [**Year (4 digits) 8813**] dissection partly into the renal artery may be
creating RAS physiology. That said, an ACEI/[**Last Name (un) **] was not started
due to ARF. Addition, of these medications could be considered
in the future once renal function returns to baseline.
#Chronic [**First Name7 (NamePattern1) 11916**] [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] Dissection:
MRA showed no interval progression in the size of his [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 8813**]
dissection. The patient was seen by Vascular Surgery and blood
pressure was treated aggressively as stated above. He is
scheduled for follow up with vascular surgery in 6 months with a
screening MRA to monitor for progression of his [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 8813**]
dissection.
#Presumed UTI/PNA:
While on the floor the patient lacked any signs or symptoms of a
UTI or pneumonia. After verifying with [**Hospital1 **] that his cultures
were negative. His antibiotics which were empirically started in
the ED (Rocephin/Azithromycin) were discontinued. His cultures
at [**Hospital1 **] were also negative.
Medication Changes:
-Increased labetalol to 800mg TID
-Increased Amlodipine to 10mg QD
-Started Lasix 20mg PO QD
-Held allopurinol in the setting of his acute renal failure.
-Stopped nifedipine xl (as the patient was already taking
amlodipine)
Transitional Issues:
1. Blood pressure control. Home VNA has been arranged for the
patient to help with his medications and blood pressure
measurements. Ideally, his blood pressure should be in the 130's
or less. His blood pressure medication will likely require
titration in the future to achieve these goals.
2. Monitoring [**Hospital1 **] Disease: The patient has follow up with
vascular surgery in 6 months. There has been no progression in
his [**Hospital1 8813**] dissection when compared to films from the last year.
3. Since the patient was started on lasix during this
hospitalization, we recommend drawing a chem 10 in one week to
check for electrolyte abnormalities and renal function.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 7474**],
You were admitted to the hospital with acute shortness of breath
and pulmonary edema. We believe that this is due to something
called congestive heart failure. Your congestive heart failure
which has now resolved was most likely caused by your high blood
pressure and excess fluid and salt retention. We resolved this
condition by controlling your blood pressure and starting you on
a water pill to help keep your lungs from becoming congested.
You have something called a TYPE B [**Known lastname **] DISSECTION. Your Aorta
(the biggest blood vessel in your body) has a small tear in it.
You have had this [**Known lastname 8813**] dissection for more than two years.
Type B [**Known lastname 8813**] dissections are treated medically with very good
blood pressure control. Your blood pressure should be around
120/80 or slightly lower if possible. If your blood pressure
gets too high, the tear in your aorta can increase in side and
your dissection could get worse which is a LIFE THREATENING
CONDITION.
1. IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
MEDICATION AS DIRECTED.
2. IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR
PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR ON A FREQUENT BASIS.
We have made some changes to your home medications to help
control your blood pressure.
We have also arranged for you to have a visting home nurse to
help you with your blood pressure medications and helping you to
take your blood pressure every day.
It is a good habit to weigh yourself every day. If you weight
goes up more than three pounds in one day, call your PCP.
[**Name10 (NameIs) **] you find that you are becoming short of breath, please call
your PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) 2172**] visiting nurse will help you arrange your
medications that you are supposed to take which are listed on
the included sheet. You may resume any other medication that is
not listed below.
1. We have increased your labetalol to 800mg by mouth 3 times
per day ( take four 200mg tablets by mouth three times per day)
.
2. We have increased your amlodipine to 10mg by mouth once a day
(take two 5mg tablets by mouth once a day)
3. We have started you on a diuretic called lasix 20mg
(furosemide) by mouth once a day.
4. We have STOPPED your nifedipine.
5. We have held your allopurinol. Please talk to your PCP about
resuming this medications.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR MEDICATIONS PLEASE CALL THE
OFFICE OF DR. [**First Name (STitle) **] [**First Name (STitle) 38274**].
If you experience any of the danger signs listed below please
call your doctor or go to the emergency department.

.
She had severe hyperkalemia to 8.1, and underwent urgent
hemodialysis.
In hemodialysis, she developed significant bleeding from a site
of recent tooth extraction, and then arterial bleeding from her
AV fistula site when the HD line was disconnected. She was
managed with
DDAVP 15mcg IV x i, 10units of cryoprecipitate; additionally,
ENT
stopped the oral bleeding with Ag local tx, and AV fistula
bleeding
stopped after 55min of continuous pressure. The working
suspicion
is that she was suffering from uremic platelet dysfunction.
.
She was admitted to MICU after she had developed persistent
bleeding from the site of her recent tooth extraction as well
as arterial bleeding from her AV fistula site. The bleeding
from her tooth extraction site stopped after she was seen by ENT
and this was treated with local Ag therapy. The bleeding from
her AV fistula site stopped after continuous pressure for 55min,
and DDAVP.
.
Overnight, several events took place. First, she remained chest
pain
free, but her troponin trended from 0.06 to 0.26 and then back
down
to 0.06 with the only EKG changes of new TWI in V6 and
borderline
Twave flattening in lead I. Her CK and MB remained flat
throughout.
Secondly, she was ruled out for AAA and PE by CTangiogram.
Next,
she had a Tmax of 101.6, and repeat blood cultures were drawn.
She additionally underwent CTangiogram of torso: No evidence of
PE; no aortic aneurysm/dissection; no pathologic LAD;
non-specific
thickening of the pylorus. Also, her labs were significant for
the following:
.
- evidence of hemolysis with hapto < 20, elevated LDH
- no evidence of TTP, no schistocytes on peripheral smear,
and no evidence of DIC (nl coags, fibrinogen elevated)
.
- platelets remained stable in 50's range
- DIC Ab returned positive; heme/onc consulted re:
anticoagulation
strategy in setting of recent significant bleeding
.
- transaminitis trending downward
- elevated amylase/lipase - now trending downward.

Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 46 yo AA woman with h/o SLE, ESRD on hemodialysis, htn,
hyperlipidemia, and cardiomyopathy, CHF, recent immunosuppresion
presented with atypical chest pain, abdominal pain, and
severe hyperkalemia; now stable from MICU after uremic bleeding.
.
1. Chest Pain:
Presentation was atypical for angina, and she ruled out for
acute MI. Over her MICU course, there was concern for aortic
dissection or other etiology for her chest pain, and she
underwent
a CTangiogram of the torso. This showed no evidence of any
aortic dissection, aneurysm, or a pulmonary embolism.
Her chest pain resolved.
.
2. Abdominal Pain/Diarrhea:
This was a non-specific abdominal pain. On
review, it turns out that this is a chronic complaint.
Her abdominal CT did not demonstrate any acute pathology.
She does have chronically elevated amylase/lipase and LFT's
that date back several years. It may be that this is related
to her SLE or potentially autoimmune hepatitis. Her
abdominal pain had resolved by time of discharge. She
will need to f/u with her PCP and nephrologist for further
management.
.
3. Fever:
She defervesced over her hospital course, and
her infectious workup was unrevealing. She had no evidence
of any pulmonary infiltrates, and her blood cultures
remained no growth to date. No empiric abx coverage was
initiated and she remained well throughout.
.
4. Hyperkalemia/ESRD:
On presentation, she had an elevated Creatinine at 12, and
a markedly elevated K at 8.1. She underwent urgent hemodialysis,
with her hyperkalemia and uremia improving. She did have peaked
T waves on admission EKG, but no other worrisome findings.
She did have what was suspected to be uremic bleeding on
day of admission with bleeding from her AV fistula site,
as well as oral mucosal bleeding from the site of her
recent tooth extraction. This resolved with DDAVP, pressure,
and an ENT procedure. She had no further bleeding.
.
5. Heme:
She has chronic pancytopenia, but on admission her platelets
had dropped from a baseline of 100's to 50's. She had no
evidence of DIC. Given her history of TTP, this was considered
as a potential etiology. Heme/Onc and transfusion medicine were
involved. There was no definitive evidence of TTP, as there were
not pathologic levels of schistocytes on her peripheral smear.
Her HIT Ab did come back positive, but this was felt to be a low
titer and of questionable significance. She has potentially
received
heparin in low quantity in her hemodialysis sessions. However,
it
was felt that this Ab positivity may be the result of her recent
IVIG treatment. Given her recently controlled uremic bleeding,
it
was decided that she would be anticoagulated with argatroban
only
if she developed a thrombotic complication. She remained stable
and required no anticoagulation.
.
6. CHF/Cardiomyopathy:
TTE in [**9-9**] showed EF 45%, 1+ MR, mild global left ventricular
hypokinesis, LVH.
Monitored her volume status closely; there was no evidence of
CHF.
.
7. Hypertension:
Continued her home regimen; bp improved after
hemodialysis. Held her ace-i in setting of hyperkalemia.

Service: Neurosurgery
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 79-year-old
gentleman with a history of left subdural hematoma, who was
admitted on [**2165-3-30**] to [**Hospital1 188**] status post a fall down a flight of stairs while on
Coumadin for previous cerebrovascular accident. At the time,
the patient has also had a hemothorax on the right side, and
was admitted to the Trauma Intensive Care Unit with a chest
tube in place. He was awake, alert, and oriented times three
with 5/5 muscle strength in all muscle groups at the time of
admission.
On the second or third day hospital stay, the patient
developed electrocardiogram changes and had ruled in for a
myocardial infarction. An echocardiogram later revealed an
ejection fraction of 25%. The patient developed right sided
weakness also at this time. He was intubated, sedated, and
eventually awoke, but continued to have the right sided
weakness.
Serial head CT scans showed no change in the size of the
subdural hematoma, and it was decided that patient would not
undergo drainage of the subdural hematoma. The patient
eventually got trached and PEG and was transferred to
rehabilitation.
While at rehab, the patient had a worsening examination.
Apparently, he had regained some tone on the right side,
which was then gone and was brought to [**Hospital1 190**] where a CT scan showed an increase in the size
of the left subdural hematoma. Patient had 12 mm of midline
shift with a 30 mm subdural hematoma which was chronic in
appearance.
The patient was drained at the bedside. Was kept in the
Recovery Room overnight. Neurologically would open his eyes.
Began following simple commands. Would stick out his tongue,
would state his name, had increased tone on the right side,
where as before it was flaccid.
Patient improved neurologically, was seen by physical therapy
and occupational therapy and found to require acute
rehabilitation prior to discharge to home. He was stable
from a cardiac standpoint throughout his hospital stay. He
was awake, alert, moving the left side spontaneously. The
right side had increased tone and did move to pain.
He was in stable condition at the time of discharge.
Medications at time of discharge: Zantac 150 mg/G tube [**Hospital1 **],
digoxin 0.125/G tube q day, nystatin oral suspension 5 cc po
qid, Lipitor 20 mg/G tube q day, lisinopril 20 mg/G tube q
day, metoprolol 75 mg/G tube tid, insulin was on per sliding
scale, Glipizide 10 mg po q day.
At the time of discharge, will be transferred to
rehabilitation. Will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1327**] with repeat
head CT scan in two weeks' time.

Brief Hospital Course:
[**7-14**]: Pt went to the OR as an elective admission for resection
of posterior fossa mass via suboccipital craniotomy. The patient
tolerated this procedure very well with no complications. Post
operatively she was transfered to the ICU for further care
including q1 neuro checks and strict SBP control to less than
140. Upon post op exam the patient remained at her neurological
baseline without defecit. Her incision was C/D/I with no active
drainage and her pain was well controlled. She remained in the
ICU overnight with no medical issues.
[**7-15**]: Pt was seen in A.M rounds and was doing well. No new
defecits and was AOx3. She underwent post operative head ct that
showed no acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. The patient
did require a nipride iv drip for blood pressure control and
this was effectively weaned in the evening with new blood
pressure requirements of less than 160. MRI head was consistent
with post operative changes and no acute pathology.
[**2034-7-15**]: Pt did well upon arrival to the floor but did develop
some mental status changes over the weekend and become more
agitated. She was somewhat disoriented in the evenings and a
geriatric medicine consult was called. They felt her changes
were likely due to her decadron and hospital stay. Some
medications changes were made and her decadron was tapered to
2mg twice daily.
She did have some difficulty swallowing on the 25th and the
speech and swallow team saw her on the 26th. She was deemed
unsafe for PO intake on the 26th and was made NPO. A dobhoff
tube was attempted but the patient was uncooperative and she did
remove it on her own.
[**7-19**]: Speech and Swallow consulted patient and recommended NPO.
[**7-20**]: Patient was cleared for soft solids by Speech and Swallow.
Pt was cleared and discharged to rehab.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
WOUND CARE:
?????? You or a family member should inspect your wound every day and
report any of the following problems to your physician.
?????? Keep your incision clean and dry.
?????? You may wash your hair with a mild shampoo 24 hours after your
[**Location (un) 2729**] are removed.
?????? Do NOT apply any lotions, ointments or other products to your
incision.
?????? DO NOT DRIVE until you are seen at the first follow up
appointment.
?????? Do not lift objects over 10 pounds until approved by your
physician.
DIET
Usually no special diet is prescribed after a craniotomy. A
normal well balanced diet is recommended for recovery, and you
should resume any specially prescribed diet you were eating
before your surgery. Be sure however, to remain well hydrated,
and increase your consumption of fiber, as pain medications may
cause constipation.
MEDICATIONS:
?????? Take all of your medications as ordered. You do not have to
take pain medication unless it is needed. It is important that
you are able to cough, breathe deeply, and is comfortable enough
to walk.
?????? Do not use alcohol while taking pain medication.
?????? Medications that may be prescribed include:
o Narcotic pain medication such as Dilaudid (hydromorphone).
o An over the counter stool softener for constipation (Colace or
Docusate). If you become constipated, try products such as
Dulcolax, Milk of Magnesia, first, and then Magnesium Citrate or
Fleets enema if needed). Often times, pain medication and
anesthesia can cause constipation.
?????? If you were on a medication such as Coumadin (Warfarin), or
Plavix (clopidogrel), or Aspirin, prior to your surgery, you may
safely resume taking this at the time of your follow up
appointment.
?????? Unless directed by your doctor, do not take any
anti-inflammatory medicines such as Motrin, Aspirin, Advil, and
Ibuprofen etc, as this can increase your chances of bleeding.
?????? If you are being sent home on steroid medication, make sure
you are taking a medication to protect your stomach (Prilosec,
Protonix, or Pepcid), as these medications can cause stomach
irritation. Make sure to take your steroid medication with
meals, or a glass of milk.
ACTIVITY:
The first few weeks after you are discharged you may feel tired
or fatigued. This is normal. You should become a little stronger
every day. Activity is the most important measure you can take
to prevent complications and to begin to feel like yourself
again. In general:
?????? Follow the activity instructions given to you by your doctor
and therapist.
?????? Increase your activity slowly; do not do too much because you
are feeling good.
?????? You may resume sexual activity as your tolerance allows.
?????? If you feel light headed or fatigued after increasing
activity, rest, decrease the amount of activity that you do, and
begin building your tolerance to activity more slowly.
?????? DO NOT DRIVE until you speak with your physician.
?????? Do not lift objects over 10 pounds until approved by your
physician.
?????? Avoid any activity that causes you to hold your breath and
push, for example weight lifting, lifting or moving heavy
objects, or straining at stool.
?????? Do your breathing exercises every two hours.
?????? Use your incentive spirometer 10 times every hour, that you
are awake.

ADMITTING DIAGNOSIS: Electrocardiogram changes
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is an 83-year-old Russian
speaking male with a history of coronary artery disease,
status post myocardial infarction in [**2188**] and congestive
heart failure who was admitted approximately two weeks prior
to his [**5-17**] admission for changes in mental status and
lethargy. At that time, he was found to have a calcium of
14.9 and treated with pamidronate, calcitonin, Lasix and
intravenous fluids. He subsequently had a polymorphic
ventricular tachycardia arrest on [**5-10**]. At that time, he
was resuscitated, intubated and transferred to the CCU where
he was quickly extubated and seen by EPS who thought the
patient had a long QT syndrome and metabolic process versus
ischemia. At the time, they recommended amiodarone. The
patient was later found to have hyperparathyroidism and was
treated with improvement in mental status and sent to
[**Hospital3 7**] on [**5-16**]. However, on [**5-16**], the
patient's electrocardiogram showed ST depressions in leads V2
and V3. For this reason, the patient was sent to the
Emergency Room to be ruled out for myocardial infarction or
ischemia. At the time of admission, the patient denied chest
pain, although he complained of a constant throat tightness
with atypical symptoms.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease, status post myocardial
infarction in [**2188**]
2. Congestive heart failure
3. Hypertension
4. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia arrest
5. Liver mass
6. Hyperparathyroidism
7. Chronic renal insufficiency
ADMISSION MEDICATIONS:
1. Lisinopril 15 mg po bid
2. Ciprofloxacin 250 mg po bid
3. Heparin subcutaneous
4. Prilosec 20 mg po qd
5. Enteric coated aspirin 225 mg po qd
6. Lopressor 12.5 mg po bid
7. Vancomycin
SOCIAL HISTORY: Sixty plus pack year smoker, denies alcohol
use.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory
ADMISSION PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
VITAL SIGNS: He was with a stable blood pressure in the
130s/60s, heart rate in the 70s, respiratory rate in the 18
to 20 range and 100% on room air.
NECK: No jugular venous distention. He had bilateral
carotid bruits.
CARDIAC: S1, S2, regular rate and rhythm, no murmurs, rubs
or gallops.
CHEST: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.
ABDOMEN: Soft, nontender, nondistended.
EXTREMITIES: Without any evidence of edema.
ADMISSION LABORATORIES: Hematocrit of 33, platelet count
221. Chem-7 with a BUN of 27, creatinine of 1.4, troponin of
1.1, CPK of 88, calcium of 8.9.
IMAGING: His electrocardiogram on the 18th showed a normal
sinus rhythm with a normal axis and Q-waves in 2, 3 and AVF.
ASSESSMENT: At this time, it was felt that this was an
83-year-old male with a history cardiac disease and
electrocardiogram changes plus troponin which would be
consistent with infarction in the inferior wall of his
myocardium. The patient refused cardiac catheterization at
the time of admission and was treated with aspirin, heparin,
Lopressor and lisinopril. The patient's CKs were cycled. Of
note, the patient did have an elevated troponin of 14.3 on
[**5-10**] during his ventricular tachycardia arrest.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted. He was treated
with aspirin, Lopressor, lisinopril and his CKs were cycled.
Attempts were made to obtain a consent for cardiac
catheterization, however, the family repeatedly refused to
give consent until [**5-22**] when the patient finally
underwent a cardiac catheterization that demonstrated the
following: Left main and three vessel disease in the right
dominant system. The left main was calcified and had 90%
ostial stenosis. The LAD had a 70% proximal stenosis. The
D1 had moderate diffuse disease. The circumflex was totally
occluded proximally with left to left collaterals. The RCA
was totally occluded proximally with left to right
collaterals. The ejection fraction was calculated to be 44%
with severe anterior lateral hypokinesis. The patient did
well post catheterization and at this point, cardiothoracic
surgery was consulted for potential coronary
revascularization.
Post catheterization, the patient was restarted on the
heparin on which he had been maintained throughout the
hospital admission and coronary artery bypass grafting was
planned for [**5-24**]. At the time, the patient was in stable
condition. He had an uneventful next couple of days and was
stable with a heart rate in the 60s and blood pressure in the
120s to 140s/60s to 80s and was awaiting coronary artery
bypass graft which was finally performed on [**5-29**] by Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **]. He had the following: Left ventricular
aneurysmectomy, as well as a left internal mammary artery to
diagonal, saphenous vein graft to LAD, saphenous vein graft
to OM and saphenous vein graft to PDA. The cardiopulmonary
bypass time was 76 minutes with a crossclamp time of 62
minutes. The last cardiac output prior to transfer to the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit was 4.0 liters per minute.
The patient was transferred to the Cardiothoracic Intensive
Care Unit where he required some Neo-Synephrine for blood
pressure support. However, he was quickly weaned from both
pressors and his sedation and extubated on the 30th and on
the 31st, began complaining of chest pain.
He had, on physical exam, a rapid pulse of approximately 100
and a blood pressure of 162/72.
HEART: Difficult to hear, secondary to his breath sounds,
but he did have a definitive rub that was easily
auscultatable. An electrocardiogram obtained on the 31st
showed diffuse ST elevations in all leads, as well as T-wave
depression in leads V4 through V6, 1 and AVL. A cardiology
consult was obtained, as well as a bed side echocardiogram
which showed inferior posterior akinesis was old and anterior
wall motion that was preserved with an ejection fraction of
35% to 40%. Cardiology consult at this point felt that this
was consistent with pericarditis and he was started on
Indomethacin, as well as some diuresis with Lasix.
He was transferred to the floor with his chest tubes out and
doing well when he developed an irregularly irregular rhythm
on postoperative day #3. He was found to be in atrial
fibrillation and a discussion with EPS occurred between
cardiothoracic surgery and it was felt that he would benefit
from being studied and having an automated implantable
cardiac defibrillator placed given his history of ventricular
tachycardia arrest. He was not treated with procainamide or
amiodarone. Instead, he was anticoagulated and rate
controlled with Lopressor.
At this time, it was felt the patient merited an implantable
defibrillator and several discussions took place over the
next couple of days with the wife and daughter of the patient
who felt that the patient, who was otherwise very stable, was
took weak to undergo the procedure. They were frequently
preventing the patient from receiving physical therapy, from
being mobilized from ambulating and they did not consent for
EPS to study the patient or place AV fibrillator until [**6-6**].
On [**6-6**], the patient was taken to the [**Hospital1 **] [**Last Name (Titles) 516**] where an internal cardiac defibrillator
was placed. The patient tolerated the procedure without
complication and had the pacer interrogated. The EPS fellow
came by to see the patient post procedure frequently to
assure the family that the patient was stable post procedure
and ready for discharge. The patient had laboratory values
checked on the 7th which were significant for a white count
of 8.2, hematocrit 31.7, platelets 261 with a BUN of 38 and a
creatinine of 1.9. Otherwise, his chemistries were normal.
His ionized calcium throughout the admission had remained
within normal limits. The patient was stable from discharge.
At this point he was, on physical exam, in a regular rhythm.
He was making good urine output with 700 cc per day. He was
clear to auscultation bilaterally. Regular rate and rhythm
with a well healed sternotomy incision, as were his vein
harvest sites and he awaited placement until [**6-11**], at
which time a rehabilitation bed was found. He was discharged
on [**6-12**] with the following medications:
1. Colace 100 mg po bid
2. Zantac 150 mg po qd
3. Aspirin 81 mg po qd
4. Indocin 25 mg po tid with food
5. Lopressor 25 mg po bid
6. Zestril 10 mg po qd
7. Tylenol 650 mg po q 4 to 6 hours prn
8. Albuterol/Atrovent nebulizers prn
9. Lasix 20 mg po bid
10. Potassium chloride 20 milliequivalents po bid

Chest Pain/NSTEMI
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Aortic valve replacement (23mm [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Male First Name (un) 923**] Mechanical Regent)
History of Present Illness:
This is a 22yoM with a history of hepatitis C and polysubstance
abuse, who was transferred from [**Hospital3 **] for further
management of a NSTEMI thought to be secondary to aortic valve
vegetation embolism. He first presented on [**2148-10-26**] with fevers
and lightheadedness. He was found to have strep viridans
endocartiditis with large vegetation on his noncoronary cusp, as
well as posterior root seen on TEE. He was treated with
penicillin and Gentamicin and transferred to [**Hospital1 **] State on
[**11-14**], at which point he was transitioned to high dose
ceftriaxone.
He completed four weeks of antibiotics on [**2148-11-23**], and has been
without fevers, chills, malaise, weakness, sensory deficits,
vision abnormalities since that time.
He presented to [**Hospital6 3105**] 3 days ago with
anterior chest pain radiating to the left side, which started on
[**11-30**]. Troponin was found to be elevated at 2.09, and though
there were no acute EKG changes per report, he was treated for
NSTEMI with Lovenox and Plavix (ASA allergy). A TTE demonstrated
persistentce of a large aortic valve vegetation, along with
moderate-severe aortic regurgitation. An embolic vegetation is
suspected as the source of the NSTEMI. .

CT HEAD [**2148-12-3**]:
FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage. The [**Doctor Last Name 352**]-white
matterdifferentiation is preserved. There is no edema, mass or
mass effect. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and
configuration. The mastoid air cells and paranasal sinuses are
clear. There is no fracture.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process.
CORONARY CT [**2148-12-4**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Suboptimal cardiac gating due to high heart rate and
inability to proceed with large dose of IV beta-blockers due to
patient's low blood pressure.
2. No central obstructing filling defect demonstrated in right
coronary artery, left main, left circumflex artery. Normal
anatomic origin of the coronary arteries.
3. Large vegetation of a known bicuspid valve accompanied by
calcifications.
4. Thickening of the aortic valve apparatus versus (less likely)
papillary muscle hypertrophy.
TEE [**12-5**] PRE-BYPASS: The left atrium is normal in size. No
spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the
left atrium or left atrial appendage. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
are normal. The left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately
depressed (LVEF= XX %). Right ventricular chamber size is
normal. with borderline normal free wall function. The
ascending, transverse and descending thoracic aorta are normal
in diameter and free of atherosclerotic plaque . The aortic
valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. There is a large
vegetation on the aortic valve. No aortic valve abscess is seen.
There is no aortic valve stenosis. Moderate (2+) aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears structurally
normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no
pericardial effusion.
POST:
1. Mechanical valve in aortic position
2. Well seated and good leaflet excursion with expected washing
jets. Peak gradient = 35 mm hg.
3. RV and LV have unchanged systolic function
Radiology Report CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2148-12-9**] 7:19
AM
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION: 22 year old man with s/p avr
Final Report: The patient is status post median sternotomy and
aortic valvular surgery, with stable post-operative appearance
of the cardiomediastinal contours. Minimal area of atelectasis
is again demonstrated in the right lower lobe, with otherwise
clear lungs. Extreme left lung base has been excluded from the
radiograph, precluding assessment for small left effusion or
peripheral basilar left lung abnormality.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] after ruling in for NSTEMI at
[**Hospital6 3105**], has had been treated prior to that
admission for aortic valve endocarditis. An echo prior to
transferred revealed severe aortic regurgitation. Following
admission he remained stable. Cardiac catheterization was not
performed due to risk of embolization of the vegetation.
Cardiac surgical consultation was requested. On [**12-5**] he went
to the Operating Room after the usual preoperative workup,
please see operative report for details. In summary he had:
Aortic valve replacement with a 23-mm St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**] mechanical valve,
reference number [**Serial Number 88070**].
His bypass time was 101 minutes, with a crossclamp time of 84
minutes. He tolerated the operation well and post-operatively
was transferred to the cardiac surgery ICU in stable condition.
He remained hemodynamically stable, awoke intact was weaned from
the ventilator and extubated. All tubes lines and drains were
removed per cardiac surgery protocols. He was started on
Bblockers, diuretics and anticoagulation the day following
surgery.
He transferred to the stepdown floor on POD 1. Physical Therapy
saw him for strength and mobility. His Methadone was resumed,
he received opiates and Toradol for surgical pain. The
remainder of his hospital course was uneventful, he continued to
make good progress and was cleared for discharge to home on POD
eight. His INR is to be followed by [**Company 191**] coumadin clinic
starting on [**2147-12-17**]. His first INR check is the day after
discharge with results to cardiac surgery oncall staff at [**Hospital1 18**]
before [**12-17**] or [**Company 191**] coumadin clinic if after [**12-17**]. All follow-up
appointments were advised.

Brief Hospital Course:
46 yoM with hypertension/hyperlipidemia admitted s/p Ventricular
fibrillation arrest with cath showing 40% stenosis RCA, and DES
to L circ and second arrest on cardiac cath table with
successful resuscitation.
.
# VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION ARREST: Related to poor perfusion of
myocardium. S/P successful resuscitation and DES (see below).
Second episode of VF in the cath lab was likely related to
reperfusion injury. Urine tox negative. Remained in sinus
throughout rest of admission. Started on amiodarone load at OSH,
not continued at time of discharge.
.
# CORONARIES:Patient was found to have 1V disease and is s/p DES
to LCx and cath showed 40% stenosis of RCA. Initially placed on
Prasugrel 10 mg daily post-cath and transitioned to clopidogrel
75mg daily at time of discharge for minimum 12 months. ASA 325
was started and continued at discharge. Atorvastatin 80mg was
started and transitioned to simvastatin 80mg at discharge.
Integrillin drip initially on post-cath, stopped per protocol.
Metoprolol succinate was titrated up to 75mg daily. Pt. was
recommended for outpt. cardiac rehab.
.
# PUMP: LVEF unknown from previous, post-cath TTE showed mild
regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with basal to mid
inferior and inferolateral hypokinesis and LVEF 45-50%.
Management as above.
.
# VENTILATION: Patient intubated at admission for airway
protection, ABG showed respiratory acidosis. Will adjust vent
settings to increase ventillation frequency to 20 and decrease
FiO2 to 60%. Patient received on fentanyl and versed, transition
to propofol, and successfully extubated without complication. NG
tube to suction while intubated.
.
# Transitional Issues:
1. Pt was found to have flat/depressed affect throughout
admission but pt's wife reports this as baseline. Consider f/u
with PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]: depressive sx.
2. Pt was recommended for cardiac rehab. He was instructed to
call PCP on weekday to schedule appt. and to seek out local
cardiologist from PCP [**Name Initial (PRE) 28085**].
Medications on Admission:
Lipitor 10mg daily

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 87854**],
You were admitted to our hospital after you were transferred
from the [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] in order to undergo cardiac catherization.
You had a major heart attack. You had stents placed in the
arteries that supply blood to the heart. Your heart also went
into a dangerous rhythm and stopped temporarily. You were
temporarily on a ventilator to help you breathe. You were able
to breathe on your own and had no further chest pain.
.
Some of your medications were changed during this admission:
START aspirin 325mg daily indefinitely
START clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily for at least one year
INCREASE simvastatin to 80mg daily
INCREASE metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL) to 75mg daily
.
Only your cardiologist can tell you to stop taking aspirin or
Plavix (clopidogrel). You must take these medications every day
to prevent another heart attack.
.
You will need outpatient cardiac rehab. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 7047**] discussed
this with you.
Followup Instructions:
You should call Dr.[**Name (NI) 72943**] office at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 18325**] on Monday to
schedule an appointment with him within the next 1-2 weeks and
also ask him to refer you to a local cardiologist who you should
make an appointment with within the next 2 weeks as well.
.
You should go to cardiac rehab as you discussed with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 7047**].

Service: CARDIAC SURGERY
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 73-year-old
female who originally presented with a persistent cough. At
the time, a chest x-ray was performed, which showed an
abnormal mediastinum. A suspicion was raised about a
possible ascending aortic aneurysm. A follow-up CT scan was
performed, which showed a 5.2 x 5.4 cm in diameter aneurysm
that appeared to taper at the level of the innominate artery.
The patient's echocardiogram showed good left ventricular
function with mild left ventricular hypertrophy. In
addition, the patient was noted to have a moderately dilated
aortic root and 2+ aortic insufficiency with mild aortic
stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and tricuspid regurgitation.
In addition, the patient underwent cardiac catheterization
preoperatively, which showed two vessel disease with disease
in the left anterior descending artery, first diagonal, and a
large obtuse marginal. The patient presented to Cardiac
Surgery for a possible surgical intervention.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease
2. Hypertension
3. Peptic ulcer disease
4. Depression
5. Valvular disease
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Zestril 40 mg by mouth once daily
2. Imipramine 100 mg once daily
3. Trazodone 100 mg daily at bedtime
4. Atenolol 25 mg once daily
5. Nexium as needed
LABORATORY DATA: Hematocrit 30.8, white blood cell count
9.1, platelets 72. Glucose 110, BUN 23, creatinine 1.4,
sodium 137, potassium 4.5.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the Cardiac
Surgery service. Given the history of ascending aortic
aneurysm and coronary artery disease, the patient underwent:
1. Resection and repair of ascending aortic and proximal
aortic arch aneurysm
2. Coronary artery bypass graft x 1
3. Aortic valve replacement
The patient tolerated the procedure well, which was performed
on [**2200-9-5**]. There were no complications. The resection and
repair of the ascending and proximal arch aortic aneurysm was
performed with hemi-arch-type repair using 26 mm gel-weave
Dacron tube graft. The aortic valve replacement was done
with a 21 [**Last Name (un) 3843**]-[**Doctor Last Name **] pericardial bioprosthesis. The
patient remained intubated and was transferred to the
Intensive Care Unit in stable condition.
She remained intubated. The patient was diuresed
appropriately. The patient was started on several
medications to maintain her systolic blood pressure at 120 or
below.
On postoperative day one, the patient was noted to have
decreased bowel sounds and dark-colored drainage from the
mouth. Vancomycin and levofloxacin were added empirically.
The patient was continued on nitro drip to help maintain her
pressures. She was also continued on Lopressor and
Hydralazine, as well as labetalol.
The patient was extubated on [**2200-9-9**]. She tolerated
extubation well, without any complications. The patient was
noted to have periods of confusion. Of note is that the
patient had to go back to the operating room for a chest
evacuation of a hematoma and suturing of a bleeding vessel.
Cardiology was consulted to assist with blood pressure
control. Cardiology recommendation was to initiate more
aggressive diuresis, to continue labetalol, Captopril and
Hydralazine. Her antidepressant medication (imipramine) was
discontinued.
The patient was transferred to the regular floor in stable
condition. On [**2200-9-14**], the patient appeared to be in
increased respiratory distress. She had crackles on
examination bilaterally. She was thought to be fluid
overloaded. A chest x-ray done at the time showed bilateral
pleural effusions, left significantly greater than right,
with associated left lower lobe collapse/consolidation. The
patient was diuresed more. An electrocardiogram was
obtained, which showed no change. In addition, left
thoracentesis was performed, with significant amount of fluid
drained. In addition, a pigtail catheter was placed by
bedside and fluid was drained with suction.
A follow-up chest x-ray obtained on the following day showed
significant improvement in the amount of fluid present in the
lungs. Consequently, the pigtail catheter was removed on
[**2200-9-17**].
The other issue was the patient's decreased appetite, which
has been going on for the last week or so. The patient was
restarted on her outpatient dose of imipramine. She was
encouraged to eat and also to ambulate. Physical Therapy was
following her during the hospitalization course. The patient
remained afebrile. She was improving her oxygenation.
The patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility in
stable condition.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Rehabilitation facility.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Ascending aortic aneurysm status post resection and
repair of the ascending aortic and proximal aortic arch
aneurysm
2. Coronary artery disease status post coronary artery
bypass graft x 1
3. Aortic valve replacement
4. Hypertension
5. Depression
DI[**Last Name (STitle) 408**]E INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The patient is to follow up with her surgeon, Dr. [**Last Name (Prefixes) 411**] in approximately four weeks.
2. The patient is to follow up with her primary care
physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **], in approximately one to two weeks.

GENERAL COMMENTS: A TEE was performed in the location listed
above. I certify I was present in compliance with HCFA
regulations. The patient was under general anesthesia throughout
the procedure. The TEE probe was passed with assistance from the
anesthesioology staff using a laryngoscope. No TEE related
complications.
Conclusions
Pre-CPB: No spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the left atrial
appendage. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. There are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic
aorta. There are three aortic valve leaflets. The aortic valve
leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. There is severe aortic
valve stenosis (area <0.8cm2). Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial
mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial effusion.
Before final separation from bypass, the tissue valve was tested
and found to have unacceptably high regurgitation associated
with the right cusp. The aorta was re-clamped and the valve
inspected. Tried to wean again, and again too much AI at the
right cusp. Finally re-clamped and placed a mechanical valve.
Post-CPB: A mechanical aortic valve is in place. No AI, no
peri-valvular leak. Mean gradient = 11. Trace MR. [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 66799**]r systolic fxn. Aorta intact. Other parameters as
pre-bypass.
Brief Hospital Course:
She was transferred from MWMC to cardiac surgery. She was
cleared for surgery by dental. She was taken to the operating
room on [**3-10**] where she underwent an AVR. She was transferred to
the ICU in stable condition. She was extubated later that same
day. She was given 48 hours of vancomycin since she was in the
hospital preoperatively. She was started on coumadin for her
mechanical valve.She was transfused 1 unit for HCT 24 with
oliguria and hypotension. She continued to require a neo gtt.
Her chest tubes had air leaks and were dc'd on POD #3. She was
weaned from her neo and transferred to the floor. She had SVT
and was seen by electrophysiology. She was started on
amiodarone. Her INR was therapeutic and she was ready for
discharge home. Pre-discharge xray showed a moderate left
effusion. Thoracentesis for 500 cc bloody fluid was performed.
Post-tap xray was improved and she was ready for discharge home.
Coumadin will be followed by the [**Hospital1 **] heart center coumadin
clinic.

Radiology Report CHEST (PA & LAT) Study Date of [**2165-3-9**] 1:31 PM
Impression:
Continue improvement with almost complete resolution of right
upper lobe
opacity. Opacities in the lower lobes medially are unchanged,
likely
atelectasis. There is no pneumothorax or enlarging pleural
effusions. If
any, there is a small left pleural effusion. Moderate
degenerative changes
are in the thoracic spine.
.
[**2165-3-12**] EGD:
Impression: Medium hiatal hernia
Slightly tortuous esophagus no rings or strictures.
No lesions, no old or fresh blood in stomach
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum
Recommendations: Follow-up with referring physician as needed

Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment and Plan
67 yo M with history of COPD, CVA with residual left sided
weakness, history of aspiration, hypertension. Was admitted to
the MICU due to concerns for upper GI bleed, fevers, and
hypotension.
# Fevers / Leukocytosis:
Pulmonary source thought initially to be most likely given that
patient had CXR opacity in RUL and new cough. Lactate at
presentation was 1.0. Patient thought to have had an aspiration
pneumonia as he already has a history of this. Legionella was
negative, levofloxacin which was initially started was then
discontinued once legionella negative. UA in the ED was positive
for bacteria, WBCs, and leuk est however UCx not sent before
antibiotics started. Patient treated with zosyn and vancomycin
for presumed UTI and PNA. Decreased to zosyn on floor. Patient
had 1x fever to 101 rectally while on floor on zosyn which
corresponded to R PIV site being red, warm, painful. After R arm
PIV pulled, he had no further fever, R arm no longer red - this
1x fever likely due to thrombophlebitis. Abx changed to PO cipro
on [**3-12**]. Foley d/c for infection risk.
.
# Hypotension:
Likely initially sepsis physiology given fever, elevated WBC.
Fluid responsive. Unlikely cardiac etiology. Patient with
unchanged EKG in the ED from baseline and no complaints of chest
pain. Cardiac enzymes were negative. Patient with several
episodes of asymptomatic hypotension at night with SBPs in high
80s which resolved w/waking patient, and were fluid responsive
(when fluids given). Patient not tachycardic during these
episodes.
.
# GI bleed:
Both coffee ground emesis and guaiac, but no grossly positive
stools point to upper GI bleed. HCT at presentation was 33.7 and
his baseline appears to be mid to upper 30s by review of medical
record. Patient with history of gastritis diagnosed on [**2160**] EGD.
Has recently been discontinued from ranitidine. He was
restarted on protonix [**Hospital1 **] through his hospital course. Evaluated
for GI. EGD negative for gastritis, PUD. Should have outpatient
colonoscopy in future.
.
# Nutrition: As per S&S recommendations; Continue baseline diet
of nectar thick liquids and ground solids, pills crushed with
puree, swallow with chin tucked to chest, 1:1 supervision during
meals
.
# Sacral decub: a small area of erythema and boggy skin was
noted on the patient's sacrum upon presentation. We treated the
area with barrier cream and frequent turns while the patient was
here. This regimen will need to be continued when the patient is
at his [**Hospital1 1501**] to prevent further deterioration of the skin in this
area.
.
# Prophylaxis: Heparin subcutaneous
.
# Code status: FULL - d/w patient.

Discharge Diagnosis:
urinary tract infection
superficial thrombophlebitis
Discharge Condition:
vital signs stable, tolerating PO.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted for fever and low blood pressure. We think
this was likely due to a urinary tract infection which we
treated with antibiotics and your fever improved. It is also
possible that you had a small amount of aspiration into your
lungs. Please be sure to adhere to the diet restrictions made by
our speach and swallow team when you return to your nursing
facility.
.
We removed your foley catheter because of your urinary tract
infection. Please try to avoid using a catheter in the future
because of the increased risk of infection that it provides.
.
While you were in the hospital you were noted to have a red area
on your sacrum which can signal the start of a pressure ulcer.
We treated it with barrier cream and frequent turning. Please be
sure to stay as active as possible and get out of bed as much as
you can. When you are in bed, you need to be sure to turn
frequently so that you do not further develop ulcers on your
back or bottom.
.
Please return to the ED if you develop any of the following
symptoms: high fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, diarrhea
or vomiting such that you cannot keep down food or your
medicines.
Followup Instructions:
Please have your nursing home help you to contact your primary
care provider, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] [**Last Name (STitle) 4321**], to determine when you will need to
follow up with her.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 59yo male with history of insulin dependent DM,
on albuterol inhaler at home, who presented to ED with 3 day
history of fever, dyspnea, and non-productive cough. Patient
had called EMS tonight for increased coughing, and was brought
to [**Hospital1 18**] for further evaluation. Patient reports receiving a
flu vaccine on Thursday prior to admission. After receiving the
flu shot, patient reports developing subjective fever without
chills. For the past 3 days, the patient has noticed cough with
white sputum production. In the past day or two, he reports
muscle aches making him unable to bend down to tie his shoes. He
denies DOE or dyspnea at rest. He has not noticed rashes. He
denies sick contacts. [**Name (NI) **] has had poor appetite the past 2 days.
He denies nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
.
In the ED, initial VS were: 100.1 96 173/84 24 100% 15L, though
his respiratory rate decreased with talking (to 30s). Patient
denied any CP. Exam notable for tachypnea and rhonchi. Labs
notable for leukocytosis with WBC 12.9 with 78% N, 15.9% L. In
the ED, the patient was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin.
He also received albuterol/ipratropium nebs times 2 in the ED
and was started on IV methylprednisolone. Blood and urine
cultures were drawn as well; UA from the ED was not concerning
for UTI. CXR was limited secondary to body habitus, though there
was no appreciable consolidations or effusions.
.
VS prior to transfer: 98 159/61 100% CPAP RR 45, when talking RR
30s.
.
On arrival to the MICU, patient has CPAP in place; VS upon
arrival to the MICU: T 100.0 (Ax) HR 97 BP 125/77 RR 31 (RR
decreased to 20s w/ conversation) O2 Sat 96% via FM at 8L.
Patient reports that he feels better since arrival in the ED. He
is currently receiving nebulizer treatment via FM.
.
Of note, the patient has never formally been diagnosed with
asthma, though he uses his albuterol inhaler twice daily. He is
currently not using CPAP at home as insurance is no longer
covering this. Patient had ECHO in [**4-/2109**] that did not show
evidence of pulmonary HTN. PFTs have been variable in the past
and show a restrictive pattern.
.
Review of systems:
(+) For urinary frequency.
(-) Denies chills, night sweats, recent weight loss or gain.
Denies headache, sinus tenderness, rhinorrhea or congestion.
Denies chest pain, chest pressure, palpitations, or weakness.
Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain,

ECG [**2109-11-28**]:
Sinus tachycardia suggested. Compared to the previous tracing of
[**2108-2-3**] the rate has increased.
Portable CXR [**2109-11-28**]:
PORTABLE AP CHEST RADIOGRAPH: Limited study due to patient body
habitus with underpenetration of x-ray. Bilateral low lung
volumes are noted with crowding of bronchovascular markings.
Cardiac silhouette appears similar in size compared to [**9-4**], [**2109**]. Lung bases cannot be completely evaluated due to
limitations of the study. A repeat chest xray should be
obtained. Findings
were discussed with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 17321**] at 3:00 a.m. on [**2109-11-28**]
via
telephone.
Portable abdomen [**2109-11-28**]:
PORTABLE ABDOMINAL RADIOGRAPH: No comparisons available. Study
is limited by patient body habitus and inadequate penetration,
as well as motion. Within this limitation, there appears to be
gastric distention; however, bowel loops appear nonobstructive,
although there is a paucity of bowel loops particularly within
the right abdomen. Free air under the diaphragms can't be
excluded in the setting of motion artifact.
Portable CXR [**2109-11-28**]:
PORTABLE AP CHEST RADIOGRAPH: Comparison made to portable AP
chest radiograph obtained 30 minutes earlier. Study is limited
by body habitus and decreased penetration. Again noted are
decreased lung volumes with crowding of bronchovascular
markings. Focal consolidation or pleural effusion cannot be
completely evaluated at the lung bases making this study
relatively nondiagnostic. Cardiac silhouette appears unchanged.
TTE [**2109-11-29**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF 65%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal
with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic
regurgitation. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed)
of [**2109-4-16**], the findings are grossly similar, but the
technically suboptimal nature of both studies precludes
definitive comparison.
Right LE ultrasound [**2109-12-1**]:
FINDINGS: There is normal grayscale appearance with
compressibility, color
Doppler flow, and pulse wave Doppler waveforms with augmentation
of the right common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal
veins.
IMPRESSION: NO DVT in the right lower extremity.
IR guided right knee arthrocentesis [**2109-12-4**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Successful fluoroscopic guided right knee joint aspiration of
approximately 30 mL of serosanguineous nonpurulent fluid. The
fluid was sent to the laboratory for culture, gram stain, cell
count and crystal analysis.
2. Imaging demonstrates changes of a prior right knee moderate
joint effusion.
Right knee x-ray [**2109-12-4**]:
There is air within the suprapatellar recess, presumably
accounted for by
arthrocentesis peformed earlier the same day. There are mild
degenerative
changes, with small marginal spurs in all three compartments.
Otherwise,
right knee x-ray examination within normal limits. The cortical
surfaces
about the joint appear intact and the joint spaces are grossly
preserved.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 59yo male with history of insulin dependent DM,
on albuterol inhaler at home, who presented to ED with 3 day
history of fever, dyspnea, and cough productive of white phlegm.
.
# Hypoxemia: Pt presented with fever, leukocytosis, cough, and
hypoxia. Clinical symptoms consistent with pneumonia. Several
chest x-rays were performed but difficult to interpret given
body habitus. He was initially hypoxic requiring 15L oxygen and
was transferred to MICU with positive pressure ventilation. He
was diuresed with IV lasix and was weaned to 2-3L oxygen prior
to transfer to floor. He was treated for CAP with a 5 day course
of levofloxacin. Additionally, pt has wheezes on exam with
questionable hx of asthma. He was put on standing nebulizers.
Pt also has OSA but has not been able to get CPAP at home which
may have exacerbated symptoms. He was given CPAP to use at
night during his hospital stay. He was weaned to room air and
afebrile for several days prior to discharge home. He should
follow up with outpatient pulmonary for repeat PFTs. He should
also obtain CPAP for his OSA. Unfortunately, however, he did not
have insurance and could not afford CPAP. He was transitioned
to his home lasix dose. Of note, TTE showed normal EF with no
significant changes.
.
# Gout, acute: Pt had low grade temps on [**2109-11-30**] to 100.5 and
complained of pain in both elbows and right knee/ankle. His
right knee and right ankle were swollen. Lower extremity was
obtained because the right calf was larger than the left; this
was negative for DVT. Given his kidney disease, he was treated
for his gout with a 5 day course of prednisone. He was given
small doses of oxycodone and tramadol for additional pain
control. He underwent bedside right knee arthrocentesis on
[**2109-12-3**] which was unsuccessful. He was then sent to IR for IR
guided right knee arthrocentesis which was consistent with gout,
showing monosodium urate crystals. He was told to follow up
with his PCP regarding initiation of allopurinol to prevent
future gout attacks. Gram stain and culture of the right knee
tap did not show any organisms. He had difficulties ambulating
due to pain and swelling of the right knee. Physical therapy
evaluated him and initially recommended discharge to rehab.
However, given pt's insurance, rehab options were limited and he
was not accepted. He worked with PT in the hospital and was
able to ambulate, including walk up the stairs, by the time of
discharge. He was provided with a walker for additional
assistance.
.
# Hematuria: Pt complaining of pain with urination. UA showing
RBCs and large blood. UA did not indicate urinary tract
infection. Hematuria may be due to kidney stone. He was told
to follow up with his PCP for repeat [**Name9 (PRE) 71617**].
.
# Elevated troponin: Trop elevated to 0.21 initially,
downtrended to 0.13. Likely due to demand ischemia as well as
component of worsening renal function. ACS was unlikely as pt
was not complaining of chest pain, EKG did not show ischemic
changes, and CK-MB was flat. CKs downtrended to normal by time
of discharge.
.
# Hyperkalemia: Pt presented w/ hyperkalemia and K peaked at
5.8. Potassium normalized after one dose of kayexalate.
Lisinopril was held during hospital stay given hyperkalemia.
BPs remained within target range. Potassium was 5.2 at time of
discharge; he was told to continue to hold his lisinopril and
follow up with his PCP for repeat electrolyte check.
.
# CKD, stage 2: Baseline 1.5-1.7. Presented with worsening renal
function with Cr of 2. Cr downtrended to baseline and was 1.5
by time of discharge.
.
# Lower extremity edema: Patient on chronic furosemide at home
for LE edema. LENI of right LE negative for DVT. He was
initially diuresed with iv lasix in the ICU for his hypoxia and
transitioned to home po lasix.
.
# Distended abdomen: Per patient, this is his baseline. KUB in
the emergency department was not remarkable for any acute
process.
.
# Diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled, with complications: Patient
with poorly controlled DM (insulin dependent). He was on a
regimen of 100units NPH [**Hospital1 **] and 70 units regular insulin [**Hospital1 **].
His morning fingersticks were low in the 50s to 70s. His
nighttime NPH was progressively reduced. He was maintained on a
humalog sliding scale while in hospital. [**Last Name (un) **] diabetes
consult was initiated and it was recommended that he reduce his
NPH regimen to 80units QAM and 50units QPM. He was also told to
discuss his short acting insulin regimen with his PCP. [**Name10 (NameIs) **]
awaiting his next PCP appointment, he was told to check his
morning fingersticks. If fingersticks reach 200s, he should
begin to give himself 10 units of regular insulin with meals.
.
# Anemia: Stable at patient's baseline HCT in the high 30s.
Macrocytic; B12 and folate were within normal limits.
.
# HTN, benign: He was continued on his home diltiazem.
Lisinopril was held due to hyperkalemia. BPs remained within
target range.
.
# HLD: Continued home gemfibrozil
.
# Tinea Pedis: he was started on clotrimazole cream for his
tinea pedis.

Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital. You were
admitted with shortness of breath, fever, and cough. You were
treated for pneumonia with antibiotics. You also developed a
gout flare of your right knee and you were treated with
steroids. Your right knee was drained and was consistent with
gout. Please speak with your primary care doctor with regard to
starting a medication that will prevent future gout attacks.
You had low blood sugars in the morning. You should decrease
your night-time NPH to 80 units in the morning and 50 units at
night. You should follow-up with your primary care doctor
regarding your insulin regimen. Until you see your doctor,
please continue to check your fingersticks. If your morning
sugars are in the 200s, please start giving yourself 10 units of
Regular insulin with your meals.
It is important that you have a CPAP machine at home for your
obstructive sleep apnea. Unfortunately, you do not have
insurance to pay for this. Please talk to your doctor about
alternative ways to obtain the breathing machine at night. You
should have your doctor arrange for you to see a lung specialist
and repeat tests that look at your lung function.
While you were in the hospital, you had pain with urination and
had blood in the urine. This may be due to a kidney stone.
Please have your doctor [**Month/Day/Year 19697**] your urine when you see him.
Your doctor [**First Name (Titles) 4801**] [**Last Name (Titles) 19697**] your potassium level because it was
high during this hospital stay (your lisinopril was stopped
because of this). He should also [**Last Name (Titles) 19697**] your blood counts
(platelets, white blood count) because these numbers were high
during your hospital stay.
The following changes were made to your medications:
1) DECREASE your NPH to 80 units in the morning and 50 units at
night. Please check your sugars and if the morning sugars rise
to the 200s, please start giving yourself ONLY 10 units of
Regular insulin with your meals until you see your doctor
2) Your lisinopril was held because your potassium was high.
Please discuss with your primary care doctor when you should
restart your lisinopril.
3) Please start using clotrimazole cream for a fungal infection
in your feet.

Conclusions
PRE BYPASS The left atrium is dilated. No spontaneous echo
contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium/left
atrial appendage or the body of the right atrium/right atrial
appendage. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color
Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly
depressed (LVEF= 45-50 %). Right ventricular chamber size is
normal. with borderline normal free wall function. There are
simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic
valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is
not present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Physiologic mitral
regurgitation is seen (within normal limits). There is no
pericardial effusion. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was notified in person of the
results in the operating room at the time of the study.
POST BYPASS There is normal right ventricular systolic function.
The left ventricle has improved function from pre-bypass - now
with an ejection fraction of 50 to 55%. The thoracic aorta is
intact after decannulation. There are no other significant
changes from the pre-bypass study.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was a same day admit and underwent coronary artery
bypass graft x 5 on [**2110-3-17**]. Please see operative report for
surgical details. Following surgery he was transferred to the
CVICU for invasive monitoring in stable condition. Later that
day he was weaned from surgery, awoke neurologically intact and
extubated. On post-op day one beta-blockers and diuretics were
started and he was gently diuresed towards his pre-op weight.
Later on this day he was transferred to the step-down floor for
further care. Chest tubes and epicardial pacing wires were
removed per protocol. He worked with physical therapy for
strength and mobility during his post-op course. He was
discharged to home. All follow-up appointments were advised.

HPI:
Mr. [**Known lastname 110219**] is a 42 yo Portuguese-speaking man with h/o DM2,
HTN,
HL who presents with L facial droop, R sided numbness, and
slurred speech. History is somewhat limited due to language
barrier and acute code stroke setting.
The patient developed nausea/vomiting at 12:30 am today. Over
the
next several hours, he worsened, developing difficulty with
balance and right sided numbness and weakness. At 4:00pm, wife
noticed L facial droop. Patient was brought to [**Hospital 4199**] Hospital.
NCHCT was interpreted as normal. [**Hospital1 2025**] neurology was consulted
over
the phone. NIHSS 8. Received IV labetalol 20 mg total, Zofran
and
ASA 325 mg. He was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] without any thrombolysis
(unclear if [**Name (NI) 2025**] on-call stroke line thought he was out of
window).
In [**Hospital1 18**], patient had NIHSS 9. BP was elevated at 254/125.
He was started on nicardipine drip for BP control.
According to patient's wife, he has been stable to slightly
improving over past few hours. He was quite restless because he
is bothered by the absence of sensation on his right side. He
has
no pain or headache. No nausea. No diplopia in primary gaze, and
no vertigo.
On limited ROS, no fever, cough, SOB, chest pain.

CTA Head/Neck [**4-2**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Unremarkable head CT without evidence of infarct or
hemorrhage. MRI is
suggested if clinically warranted.
2. Hypoplastic right vertebral and small left vertebral
arteries, likely
developmental. Both vertebral arteries end as PICA with
reconstitution of the right vertebral artery from the right
superior cerebellar.
[**4-3**] CXR
IMPRESSION:
1. Unremarkable head CT without evidence of infarct or
hemorrhage. MRI is
suggested if clinically warranted.
2. Hypoplastic right vertebral and small left vertebral
arteries, likely
developmental. Both vertebral arteries end as PICA with
reconstitution of the right vertebral artery from the right
superior cerebellar.
[**4-4**] CXR
As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant
change. Minimal atelectasis at the right lung base. Borderline
size of the
cardiac silhouette. No pneumonia, no pulmonary edema. The
nasogastric tube
is in constant position.
[**4-6**] MRI/A Brain
FINDINGS: There is an acute infarct with hemorrhagic conversion
identified in the left cerebellum in the region of posterior
inferior and anterior inferior cerebellar arteries extending to
the left side of the pons. There is mass effect on the fourth
ventricle. There has been a craniectomy identified in the region
for decompression. There is mild indentation of the lateral
ventricles and there is presence of a right frontal approach
ventricular drain with the tip in the region of left lateral
ventricle. The temporal horns are mildly dilated indicating some
degree of obstructive hydrocephalus. There is signal change
within the anterior portion of corpus callosum related to the
tract of the ventricular drain. The flow void of the distal left
vertebral artery is not well visualized.
On the MRA of the head no abnormalities are seen in the anterior
circulation. Both vertebral arteries are not visualized beyond
posterior arch of C1. Subtle flow signal is identified in the
distal basilar artery but flow signal is not seen in the
proximal basal artery nor the distal vertebral arteries. There
are fluid levels within the left maxillary sinus which could be
related to intubation.
IMPRESSION: Postoperative changes for decompression secondary to
hemorrhagic left cerebellar infarct. There remains mass effect
on the fourth ventricle and some dilatation of the lateral
ventricle. A ventricular drain is in position. Both vertebral
arteries are not visualized distal to the posterior arch of C1
level. The proximal basal artery is not visualized as well.
There abnormalities on the anterior circulation on MRA.
[**4-7**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Known left cerebellar infarct with hemorrhage, with mass
effect on the 4th ventricle and basal cisterns, stable in
appearance since the earlier study of [**2142-4-6**].
2. Stable positioning of the ventricular drain, coursing through
the frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the left lateral ventricle, terminating at
its lateral margin. Minimal interval increase in the ventricular
size since [**2142-4-5**] CT study.
[**4-8**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval repositioning of the right external ventricular
drain with tip
now projecting anterior to the frontal [**Doctor Last Name 534**] of the right lateral
ventricle
adjacent to the falx, outside the ventricular system.
2. Otherwise similar exam with left cerebellar infarct with
hemorrhagic
conversion, adjacent mass effect, and stable ventricular size.
[**4-9**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval repositioning of right frontal external ventricular
drain, now
terminating in the left putamen or internal capsule. Ventricles
have
decreased in size since the prior exam.
2. Left cerebellar infarction with stable posterior fossa mass
effect and
hypodensity extending into the pons.
[**4-10**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Significant interval decrease in size of left lateral
ventricle is likely related to over shunting through the right
frontal approach EVD, as there is no associated sulcal
effacement or new edema. Correlate with catheter function and
close f/u. Assessment of the position of the tip of the catheter
is difficult due to the significant decompression of the
ventricle- it is either outside the ventricular margin or
within. Pl. review the images to decide on further management.
2. Left cerebellar infarct with stable posterior fossa mass
effect and
suboccipital craniectomy.
[**4-13**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Right frontal approach EVD terminates in the left lateral
ventricle. Left lateral ventricle has increased in size since
the prior exam, with ventricles and sulci now similar in size
and configuration to [**2142-4-2**].
2. Status post suboccipital craniectomy with unchanged posterior
low-density fluid collection. Left cerebellar infarction and
pontine infarction are stable. Slight improvement in effacement
of fourth ventricle.
[**2142-4-15**] R Lower Ext - Doppler US:
FINDINGS: [**Doctor Last Name **]-scale and Doppler son[**Name (NI) 1417**] of the right common
femoral,
superficial femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial and peroneal
veins were
performed. There is normal compressibility, flow and
augmentation.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the right
lower
extremity.
[**2142-4-16**] NCHCT
IMPRESSION:
1. Repositioning of the EVD with the tip in the third ventricle.
2. Continued effacement of the fourth ventricle by mass effect
in the left
cerebellar hemisphere. Status post suboccipital craniectomy.
[**2142-4-17**] Renal Son[**Name (NI) **]:
RENAL SON[**Name (NI) **]:
The right kidney measures 12.8 cm, and the left kidney measures
13.6 cm.
There is no hydronephrosis, stones, or mass. Bladder is
collapsed with a
Foley in place.
IMPRESSION: Normal renal son[**Name (NI) **].
[**2142-4-23**] TEE:
Conclusions
No spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of
the left atrium/left atrial appendage or the body of the right
atrium/right atrial appendage. Right atrial appendage ejection
velocity is good (>20 cm/s). No atrial septal defect or patent
foramen ovale is seen by 2D, color Doppler or saline contrast at
rest x 4 injections (central line x 2; peripheral line x 2).
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal
cavity size and global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There
are simple atheroma in the aortic arch (clip [**Clip Number (Radiology) **]) and the
descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. No masses or
vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. No aortic valve
abscess is seen. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral
valve. No vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. There
is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: No valvular vegetation, intracardiac mass/thrombus
seen. No evidence for an atrial septal defect or patent foramen
ovale by color flow Doppler or saline injection at rest. Simple
thoracic atheroma.
Brief Hospital Course:
42yo M with h/o DM2, HTN who presented with L lower face
weakness, dysarthria, R sided sensory loss and hemiparesis,
nausea/emesis, found to have L vertebral and proximal basilar
artery occlusion resulting in L cerebellar / L pontine infarct.
.
[] Acute Ischemic Stroke, Vertebrobasilar Occlusion - The
patient was found to have a clinical syndrome consistent with a
brainstem stroke and was found on imaging to have stenosis of
both vertebral arteries and the proximal basilar artery. He
arrived at the hospital outside the window for intravenous tPA
or intra-arterial therapies. He has two fetal PCAs coming from
his anterior circulation which would preclude him from being
able to have a mechanical thrombectomy. He was started on a
Heparin infusion with goal PTT 60-80 to aid the dissolution of
the thrombus. After hemorrhagic conversion was found on a repeat
MRI, this was switched to Aspirin 81 mg daily. A TTE was
performed which was unrevealing for thrombus, wall motion
abnormalities, or intracardiac shunt, but the suspicion for
venous hypercoagulability causing paradoxical embolism remained
high given the history of a brother of similar age with
bilateral lower extremity DVTs. Hypercoagulability labs (except
for genetic studies) were obtained and were normal. A TEE was
obtained that failed to show an intracardiac shunt and showed
only aortic arch simple atheroma. The patient will have genetic
hypercoagulability studies as an outpatient.
.
He was transferred to the stroke step-down unit on [**2142-5-1**] and
remained stable. His exam has continued to improve, as he is
more alert and following commands well. He has begun to use a
Passy-Muir valve to speak and is tolerating this well. His right
hemiparesis is also improving, and he is currently able to lift
his R arm over his head, can extend his leg anti-gravity, and
dorsi/plantarflex his foot.
.
[] Increased Intracranial Pressure - On [**2142-4-4**], he transiently
developed worsening neurologic deficits including losing his
corneal, cough and gag reflexes. A repeat NCHCT showed worsening
infarction of the left cerebellum and compression of the fourth
ventricle. He was taken to the OR by Neurosurgery for emergent
decompression/occipital craniectomy and placement of a
ventriculostomy. The ventriculostomy was revised/replaced twice
for improved placement. Due to mildly elevated ICP and CSF
drainage, this was converted to a ventriculoperitoneal shunt on
[**2142-4-16**]. He had no complications and no further signs of
increased ICP after the procedure.
.
[] Pulmonary Edema/Volume Overload - In the setting of receiving
IVF, he became net positive in his fluid balance, tachypneic,
and hypoxic. Furosemide did not sufficiently improve his
respiratory status. He was also noted to have worsening
leukocytosis and extensive secretions concerning for infection.
He subsequently was electively intubated to provide further
respirator support. He was unable to wean from the ventilator
and failed an extubation trial. An endotracheal tube was placed
on [**2142-4-20**]. He succeeded in tolerating the trach mask for 36-48
hours on [**2142-5-1**] and was subsequently transferred to the stroke
step-down unit. His secretions have improved with a scopolamine
patch. He continues to have intermittent tachypnea of unclear
etiology without desaturation or any compromise of his
respiratory status.
.
[] Pneumonia - He had recurrent fevers shortly after admission.
Cultures were obtained and revealed MSSA in the sputum. He was
treated with IV antibiotics for 10 days for this. He also had
proprionobacterium acnes in the blood. Later he again began
having fevers and increased sputum production. He underwent
bronchoscopy again on [**2142-4-24**] and was treated with VAP protocol
(Cefepime, Cipro, and Vanc) from [**Date range (1) 92895**], during which time
his fever curve and sputum improved.
He had transient low grade fevers to 99.8 axillary on [**5-3**];
repeat infectious work-up including UA/UCx/Blood cultures/CXR as
well as LENI's was negative. He subsequently remeained afebrile
with no signs of infection.
.
[] Diabetes - His HgbA1c was 11.9, and his blood sugars were
initially difficult to control. He was placed on an insulin GTT
and then transferred to long acting insulin. Blood sugars
remained well-controlled on this regimen.
.
[] Hyperlipidemia - Initial LDL was 109. He was restarted on
statin therapy and this improved to 59. He will continue on
atorvastatin 20mg daily for his hyperlipidemia.
.
[] Nutrition - He was maintained on tube feeds. Due to the
likelihood of an inability to swallow based on the area of his
stroke, a gastrostomy was placed on [**2142-4-20**]. Our speech/swallow
team continue to follow for progress. His phos has been running
a little high; please check a chem-10 in the next week to
re-evaluate.
.
.
TRANSITIONAL CARE ISSUES:
[ ] He will need intensive PT, OT, and speech therapy.
[ ] Please check chem-10 at least once in next week to
re-evaluate his bun/creatinine and phos.
[ ] Hypercoagulability - Prothrombin and Factor V Leiden gene
mutation tests should be obtained as an outpatient.
[ ] He has a follow-up appointment scheduled with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **]
[**Name (STitle) **] in our stroke clinic on [**2142-6-26**]. He also has an
appointment to establish care with a new PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name (STitle) **] on
[**2142-5-18**].

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 110219**],
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] on
[**2142-4-2**] due to nausea/vomiting, right sided weakness, and a left
facial droop. You were found to have a stroke in the left side
of your cerebellum as well as part of your brainstem. This
stroke likely resulted from a clot in your vertebral artery in
your neck. This may be related to your high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, and diabetes. You had tests to look at your heart
as well as to look for any disorders of blood clotting and these
were normal.
You had tracheostomy and gastrostomy tubes placed while in the
intensive care unit. You will need intensive physical therapy to
help regain your strength. You were started on some new
medications to better control your blood pressure and
cholesterol.
We made the following changes to your medications:
Increased amlodipine to 20mg daily
Started clonidine 0.3mg 3 times a day and labetalol 500mg 4
times a day to help control your bloood pressure
Held atenolol 50mg daily and HCTZ 25mg daily
Continued lisinopril 40mg daily
Changed from pravastatin to atorvastatin 20mg daily to help
control your cholesterol
Changed from metformin to lantus 35mg twice a day in addition to
insulin sliding scale injections to better control your diabetes
If you experience any of the below listed danger signs, please
call your doctor or go to the nearest Emergency Department.
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay.
Followup Instructions:
You have the following appointment scheduled with a new primary

Service: Medicine
ADMISSION DIAGNOSIS: Shortness of breath.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 74-year-old man
with a history of fever, chills, shortness of breath x one
week. The patient reports having shortness of breath for
three to four months. He has also experienced recent night
sweats and weight loss, approximately 15 pounds, cough and
dyspnea on exertion. Over the past week the patient has
reported fevers to 102 as well as shaking chills. In
addition he reports mildly productive cough, yellow sputum,
no blood, and worsening dyspnea on exertion. The patient has
a history of tuberculosis exposure in his youth, however he
reports being tested during his time in the navy. The
patient also noted some slight decrease in appetite and
increased obstipation over the past month, which was
evaluated by colonoscopy.
The patient was originally evaluated for shortness of breath
by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 217**] in pulmonary clinic on [**2129-1-26**]. A CT
at that time revealed honeycombing, ground glass
opacification, septal line thickening, traction,
bronchiectasis and bronchiolectasis in predominantly mid
lungs and distribution to a lesser extent in the upper lung
zone and with relative sparing of the lower lung zone.
Pulmonary function tests at the time also represented a
slightly restrictive pattern with an FVC of 83%, an FEV of
105% and a FVC/FEV ratio of 1:27% with a DL/VA of 67%
predicted. At that time a biopsy to evaluate this
interstitial lung disease was broached and the patient
declined at that time.
The patient notes that this last episode of shortness of
breath was more acute in nature over the last week with
general malaise the day prior to admission and the family
asked him to present for evaluation.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs showed a temperature of
100.6, heart rate 86, blood pressure 146/74, respiratory rate
18, 93% on three liters. General: African-American male
lying in bed in no acute distress. HEENT: Anicteric
sclerae, pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light,
extraocular movements intact, nasopharynx clear. Neck:
Soft, supple with no jugular venous distension, no cervical
lymphadenopathy. Heart: Regular rate and rhythm, split S2.
Lungs: Crackles at the bases bilaterally. Abdomen: Soft,
nontender, nondistended. Extremities: No cyanosis or edema.
Neurologic: Alert and oriented x 3. Cranial nerves two
through 12 were intact. Strength was grossly intact. He had
symmetric reflexes intact and symmetric.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. High cholesterol. 2. Status post
appendectomy. 3. Pulmonary disease under evaluation, room
air saturations resting 95%, on room air 91% with ambulation.
4. History of bifascicular block with occasional ventricular
ectopy. 6. Pulmonary function tests in [**12-31**] showed a
restrictive pattern.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS: Aspirin.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is retired, he worked in the
navy for many years. He uses social alcohol. He has a son
in [**Name (NI) 86**]. The patient lives in [**Location 7188**], RI and worked for
21 years as an environmental specialist in the navy in pest
control, wore a mask, no birds at home, smoked two packs per
day x 55 years, he quit four months ago.
FAMILY HISTORY: His father is deceased of coronary artery
disease. His mother is deceased of unknown cause, with
diabetes.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood cell count 8.4, hematocrit
37.5, platelet count 337, MCV 84, neutrophils 73, lymphocytes
19, monocytes 6. Sodium 137, potassium 4.2, chloride 110, BUN
26, ALT 58, AST 68, alkaline phosphatase 86, LDH 410, total
bilirubin 0.2, albumin 3.3. Blood cultures were negative.
Urine cultures were negative.
EKG was normal sinus rhythm at 80 beats per minute, normal
axis, normal intervals. Right bundle branch block with
nonspecific ST changes, no T wave inversions, unchanged from
[**2128-12-3**]. Chest x-ray showed a complex interstitial
opacities bilaterally with worsening in the right upper lobe.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Pulmonary: The patient represents with
acute on chronic shortness of breath. Previous CT was
notable for interstitial lung pattern. In house a repeat
chest CT was obtained which showed a segmental pulmonary
embolism to the posterior basal segment of the left lower
lobe, progression of interstitial lung disease particularly
in the right lobe with interval development of numerous
cytologic and large hilar lymph nodes, new adenopathy
nonspecific, and extensive coronary artery calcifications.
Given the patient's evidence of a PE the patient was
initially started on CT. Pulmonary was consulted and a
biopsy was planned. However three days into the admission
the patient experienced some additional increasing O2
requirements as well as demonstration of a troponin leak. On
[**2129-4-4**] a repeat CT was obtained. The repeat CT on [**4-4**]
showed pulmonary embolism in the left lower lobe had
decreased in size but interval progression of interstitial
lung disease particularly in the upper lobes with hilar
adenopathy. The patient was placed on levofloxacin,
vancomycin, Bactrim and a BAL was performed. The cell count
was predominantly polys with a Gram stain negative. CT
surgery was also consulted and biopsy was not indicated at
this time. As a result, the patient was empirically placed
on prednisone, Solu-Medrol 30 mg IV q. 8 and prednisone 60 mg
p.o. q.d. the patient's respiratory status improved with the
Solu-Medrol and the patient was transferred back to the floor
on [**2129-4-7**]. The patient will be discharged on his
prednisone dose. The patient was placed initially on Bactrim
prophylaxis given prednisone use, however the patient
developed slightly elevated liver function tests and given
this result the Bactrim was discontinued. The patient was
also provided with supplemental vitamin D and calcium given
prednisone use. The patient will be monitored as an
outpatient by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 217**], his pulmonologist.
Of note the patient's interstitial lung disease could be due
to a variety of ideologies given its pattern as well as its
both fibrotic and cystic components. The hilar adenopathy
suggested a possible sarcoidosis picture. However the dense
interstitial fibrotic as well as the cystic component
suggested chronic interstitial pneumonitis. The patient has
risk factors for multiple exposures given his previous
occupational history. Biopsy will be needed to further
evaluate the etiology of his interstitial lung disease.
2. Infectious disease: The patient came in with a low-grade
temperature with a picture of worsening right upper lobe
interstitial lung disease as well as shaking chills. The
patient was initially ruled out for tuberculosis with sputum
and a negative PPD was placed. The patient was started on
levofloxacin for the possibility of pneumonia noted on CT.
Blood cultures were subsequently negative. BAL was performed
and it was nondiagnostic. Of note, Legionella was negative.
When the patient was first admitted he did have several
nights of evening fevers. These fevers resolved with the
initiation of prednisone. The patient was afebrile prior to
discharge.
3. Cardiac: The patient had a history of right bundle branch
block, with risk factor of high cholesterol and smoking
history. On [**4-3**] the patient experienced a troponin leak in
the setting of increased shortness of breath and pleuritic
chest pain. Cardiology was consulted and they felt that
troponin would likely be a result of strain rather than acute
myocardial infarction. In addition, the patient was placed
on heparin for PE at that time. It was suggested that we
follow and the patient's CKs and troponins subsequently
declined. An echocardiogram obtained at the time showed an
ejection fraction of greater than 60%, TASP of greater than
42 mmHg with a conclusion of overall left ventricular
systolic function normal with a right ventricular cavity
dilated; right ventricular systolic function appeared
depressed with normal septal motion, mild MR [**First Name (Titles) 151**] [**Last Name (Titles) 39707**]
tricuspid valve with no effusion. This in comparison to his
last report of [**2129-1-25**] showed his right ventricular free
wall motion was now depressed.
4. Liver: The patient had a slight bump in his liver
function tests prior to his discharge with an ALT of 256. As
a result a right upper quadrant was obtained prior to is
discharge to evaluate for acute causes. A hepatitis panel
was performed in house and was negative. This should be
followed up as an outpatient.
5. Hematology: With a history of anemia, anemia work-up was
nonrevealing. The patient was transitioned from heparin to
Coumadin for PE. The patient was discharged with a
therapeutic INR between 2 and 3. The patient will need
outpatient Coumadin monitoring.
6. Endocrine: The patient had a history of prednisone use in
house. His glucose was controlled with sliding scale. The
patient will be discharged to rehabilitation on sliding scale
and should be transitioned to oral [**Doctor Last Name 360**].
7. Code status: Full. The patient was evaluated by physical
therapy in house to plan for discharge to rehabilitation
center.
8. GI: The patient was placed on proton pump inhibitor in
house given steroid use.
DISCHARGE STATUS: To rehabilitation.

Brief Hospital Course:
NOTE: THE PATIENT WAS DISCHARGED AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE. PLEASE
SEE THE SECTION "DISPOSITION" FOR THE RELEVANT DETAILS. THE
HOSPITAL COURSE UP TO THIS POINT IS SUMMARIZED FIRST:
A/P: 51 yoF w/ h/o COPD, seizure disorder recent admit w/ ARDS
presents w/ leukocytosis, hypoxia, and episodes concerning for
seizure. Intubated with ARDS of unclear etiology, failed
extubation x2 ([**5-5**] and [**5-13**]) with hypoxic resp failure of
unclear etiology.
*
1) Hypoxic/Hypercarbic respiratory failure and ARDS: Unclear
cause. All cultures were negative, including blood, sputum,
BAL, CSF, urine, c dif, flu, legionella. Intubated in ED with
ABG of 7.26/76/139. On nebs, flovent. Pt was covered for 1
week with meropenum, azithro, vanco until [**5-10**] (pt has h/o
klebsiella/serretia VAP and ESBL Klebs bacteremia). Second
attempt at extubation was attempted [**5-13**], and the patient did
well initially, but then acutely desaturated and was
reintubated. Aspiration vs. flash pulm edema were considered as
factors complicating extubation.
.
Pt was beta-blocked and a Swan-Ganz catheter was in place before
the third extubation attempt on [**5-16**] in order to diagnose and
manage acute manifestations of heart failure upon extubation.
BAL microbiology but not pathology showed cytopathic changes but
viral and bacterial cultures as well as CMV immunology were
negative.
.
2) Seizure: Pt has a h/o seizure disorder, the precipitant of
which may be proximate to inadequate treatment on a single [**Doctor Last Name 360**]
(dilantin) in the setting of fever and hypoxia. Head CT and
urine tox were neg. An EEG showed diffuse encephalopathy
without status epilepticus. Additional history obtained from
outpt neurologist Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] [**Telephone/Fax (1) 98619**] showed that the pt
presented to [**Location (un) 5871**] Regional with generalized tonic-clonic
seizure on [**4-30**] with Dilantin level of 22, started on
Zonegran because she failed a single [**Doctor Last Name 360**], and was discharged
on HD#2 with normal mental status. At the [**Hospital1 18**], she required
successive reloading of Dilantin [**5-14**]-20, before the patient
left against medical advice. Despite leaving against medical
advise before a therapeutic serum level of dilantin could be
achieved, the patient was nevertheless scheduled with her
primary care physician for dilantin dose adjustment. She was
also scheduled in seizure clinic at the [**Hospital1 18**] for follow-up of
her seizure disorder. Zonegran was increased to 300mg qd (on
[**4-26**]) after 2 weeks of 200mg.
*
3) Leukocytosis and Fever: Pulmonary source was initially
suspected (ddx: HAP, aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis) given the
patient's hypoxia and bilateral infiltrates. U/A negative, BCx
NGTD, CSF neg, BAL and sputum neg. C Dif neg x 4. Empiric oral
vanco d/c'd [**5-8**]. Covered w/ meropenem/azithro empirically to
cover HAP/aspiration pneumonia x 1 week until [**5-10**]. Spiked on
[**5-14**] to 101 and re-cultured without any growth in culture.
*
4) Sepsis/Hypotension/Adrenal Insufficiency: Pt was initially on
levophed, weaned off after fluid resusitation. Minor troponin
leak to 0.05. EF by ECHO [**5-6**] 60% with 1+MR. Pt was on steroids
for ARDS during last recent admission, and was started on
hydrocortixone for a positive cortisol stim test, which showed
adrenal insufficiency with a maximal cortisol of 16-17. Her
hypotension did resolve with stress-dose steroids in a few days.
She has been on a prednisone taper, receiving 7.5 mg on [**5-19**],
and due to receive 5 mg on [**5-20**]. Because of the adrenal
insufficiency documented by absolute value as well as a relative
value, the patient was scheduled for follow-up in endocrinology
clinic within 1 month from discharge. She was discharged on
prednisone 10mg until this appointment.
*
5) Pulm Edema: EF 60%. Pt with pulm edema on [**5-5**] after
extubation resulting in reintubation. [**Month (only) 116**] have been due to
post-negative pressure pulm edema or flashing due to possible
diastolic dysfunction. Diuresed but again showed signs of CHF
after fluid resusitation. Swan placed [**5-7**] with mixed picture
before diuresis. Decreased SVR and high CI supported a septic
physiology, but a high CVP supportive of CHF. Pt developed
upper and lower extremity edema that started to resolve with
gradual diruesis. She has been euvolemic on exam for over 4
days preceding discharge.
*
5) Anemia of Chronic Disease: The paient's baseline 26-28 from
prior admission. Vit B12 and folate WNL. Transfused 2 Units
[**5-8**] but otherwise has not required any blood products. Hct
remained stable and >28 without additional transfusions.
.
6) Thrombocytopenia: HIT negative, LFTs unchanged. Platelets
improved with improvement of acute illness.
*
7) Borderline Type II DM: HBA1C = 6.0. Pt was temporarily on an
insulin drip while on TPN and hydrocortisone, transitioned to
insulin glargine with sliding scale, but since the patient had
poor oral intake, she had glargine held x 5 days and did not
require dosing in the hospital. The patient was instructed to
hold any additional insulin and covered with RISS until 1 day
prior to admission when the patient's glood sugar. She began
taking better oral intake before discharge.
*
8) NSVT: Documented on evening of [**2160-5-11**]. Multiple 3-4 beat
runs over a minute with sinus beats in between. Likely due to
concurrent medical illness, resolveing The etiology was not
clear. Electrolytes were normal. Pt was asymptomatic without
further events.
*
9) Diastolic dysfunction: EF 60% with 1+ MR, mild-mod pulmonary
artery HTN. BB has been controlling her rate well.
*
10)Hepatitis C: mild transaminitis, not significantly changed
from prior admission
*
11)Depression: Will restart prozac [**2160-5-20**].
12)F/E/N: Tube feeds by nasogastric tube started [**5-6**].
-Once the NG tube was removed, the pt was noted to have a (+)
gag reflex and was advanced to nectar thickened diet until video
swallowing study could confirm that she could safely swallow.
The patient was seen on the video study to have aspiration with
thin liquids. She nevertheless refused to maintain a diet of
thickened liquids, despite numerous conversations informing her
that this diet may only be for a limited time until her swallow
improved and informing her of the risks of swallowing thin
liquids such as recurrent aspiration, pneumonia, intubation, or
death.
- electrolytes monitored and repleted as needed
*
13)Ppx: Heparin SQ, pneumoboots, IV Lansoprazole.
*
14)Access: Left Subclavian and right a-line d/c'd after patient
transferred to the medical floor from the ICU. Afterwards, the
patient was maintained with PIVs.
*
15)Code: FULL CODE, confirmed by sister.
*
16)Comm: [**Name (NI) 4906**] [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 9973**] [**Telephone/Fax (1) 98620**] (home),

.
17)Dispo: The patient was seen by PT who, along with the medical
and nursing staff, felt that the patient was not safe for
independent discharge because of weakness, imbalance, and
because of low dilantin level which would require further
loading with dilantin. The patient refused discharge to
rehabilitation, stating that she had spent too much time already
in the hospital and rehabilitation hospital. Multiple
conversations informed her of the risks of aspiration, seizure,
fall, head injury, and death, but the patient nevertheless
demanded to sign out of the hospital against medical advice and
left in this manner despite recruiting the patient's husband and
daughter to convince the patient. Mrs. [**Known lastname 9485**] was discharge
against medical advice on [**2160-5-21**], and refused to wait until
services could be set up for the patient, noting that she would
set them up herself.

Admission Date: [**2144-9-9**] Discharge Date: [**2144-9-16**]
Date of Birth: [**2089-9-20**] Sex: M
Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 54-year-old
male with known coronary artery disease who was admitted to
[**Hospital6 2910**] on [**2144-9-9**], for elective
cardiac catheterization. Past medical history is significant
for coronary artery disease status post percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty with stent of the left
anterior descending coronary artery in [**2138**]. Upon arrival to
the [**Hospital6 2910**], the patient reported
constant four out of ten chest pain with radiation to his jaw
since the previous evening, [**2144-9-8**]. He received
morphine prior to catheterization. Catheterization
demonstrated a tight LAD lesion, 70% proximal, 90% mid LAD,
resulting in an inability to see his previous LAD stent. The
patient continued to have chest pain status post
catheterization with no electrocardiogram changes evident.
Left ventriculogram during catheterization showed normal size
and good contraction of all wall segments. He was started on
a nitroglycerin intravenous drip at 80 mcg/minute, Aggrastat
and heparin. This resulted in a decrease in his chest pain
to one to two out of ten in severity. Labs drawn at [**Hospital6 14475**] showed a hematocrit of 39.0,
creatinine kinase of 126, troponin 0.06. The patient was
transferred to [**Hospital1 69**] for
therapeutic catheterization. Upon arrival vital signs were
97.8, blood pressure 140 to 160 over 90 to 100, heart rate in
the 60's with normal sinus rhythm, oxygen saturation 98 to
100% on two liters nasal cannula oxygen. Prior to
catheterization at [**Hospital1 69**],
patient received fentanyl 25 mcg for his discomfort and
Versed. Therapeutic catheterization at [**Hospital1 190**] showed left main coronary artery disease with
mid ostial disease, left anterior descending with 60% ostial
lesion, moderate 50% mid disease prior to stent, 95% tight
focal lesion in old stent prior to first major diagonal
branch. A Cypher stent was deployed in the proximal/middle
LAD. Status post catheterization, the patient had
serosanguinous blood discharge and ooze from around sheaths
upon arrival to the floor. Tunnel sheaths were pulled with
systolic blood pressures in the range of 140's to 150's.
Cardiac fellow applied pressure. The patient complained of
recurrent pain so additional doses of morphine were given.
At this time then his right groin developed a large hematoma.
Subsequently, nitroglycerin and Aggrastat were discontinued.
Intravenous fluids were started with aggressive fluid
hydration. Stat hematocrit value was drawn with a value of
34.9. The patient's hematoma continued to expand and he
continued to complain of pain. As the hematoma and groin
continued to ooze bloody discharge, a vascular groin C-clamp
was applied. The patient was transferred to the Coronary
Care Unit for further hemodynamic monitoring. Upon arrival
to the CCU, he complained of severe pain, greater than ten
out of ten in severity. Upon arrival he then received
another 10 mg of morphine, 1 mg of Versed, 50 mcg of fentanyl
and Phenergan 25 mg IV.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease status post percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent to left anterior
descending artery in [**2138**].
2. Hypothyroidism.
3. Hypertension.

PERTINENT LABORATORIES, X-RAYS AND OTHER STUDIES:
Laboratories drawn on the morning of [**2144-9-9**] at [**Hospital6 11896**] showed sodium 132, potassium 3.1, chloride
96, bicarbonate 26, BUN 14, creatinine 0.9, glucose 114,
calcium 7.7, magnesium 2.0, creatinine kinase 126, troponin
0.06. The latest coagulation profile from [**2144-9-2**] showed PT
9.9, PTT 26, INR 1.0. The latest hematocrit value from
[**2144-8-12**] was 39.0.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: Dipyridamole EKG ([**2144-8-25**]): Normal sinus
rhythm, left atrial enlargement, incomplete right bundle
branch block, left anterior hemiblock but inconclusive
dipyridamole exercise EKG. No chest pain or diagnostic ST
segment changes to heart rate of 101.
CARDIOLITE STRESS TEST ([**2144-8-25**]): Normal left ventricular
size and function. Ejection fraction 58%. Anterior wall
thinning consistent with prior non-transmural myocardial
infarction. Inferior basal wall ischemia.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM [**2144-9-9**] AT [**Hospital6 **]:
Showed normal sinus rhythm at 60 beats per minute. Left axis
deviation. Borderline PR interval. Right bundle branch
block. Left anterior fascicular block. Poor R-wave
progression. Poor voltage in limb leads.
CORONARY CATHETERIZATION ([**2144-9-9**]): Demonstrated selective
left-sided coronary angiography in this left dominant
circulation demonstrated one vessel coronary artery disease.
The left main coronary artery had a 30% ostial lesion. The
left anterior descending had serial lesions, with a tubular
60% proximal, 50% mid prior to the old stent, mild in-stent
re-stenosis leading into a 95% lesion at the distal end of
the stent. The left circumflex had mild luminal irregularity
and gave off an OM1 with moderate diffuse disease. The right
coronary artery was not engaged. Successful stenting of the
main left anterior descending was performed with a 3.5 x 18
mm Cypher (drug alluding stent).
ECHOCARDIOGRAM ([**2144-9-10**]): Left ventricular ejection fraction
60%. The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular
cavity size and systolic function are normal. The ascending
aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (three)
appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no
aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are
structurally normal. No mitral regurgitation is seen. The
estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal.
There is a small pericardial effusion. There is no 2-D
echocardiographic findings of tamponade, but a complete
Doppler assessment was not possible.
ARTERIAL DOPPLERS OF THE RIGHT LOWER EXTREMITY ([**2144-9-10**]).
Duplex evaluation performed of the right lower extremity
arterial and venous systems with concentration on the
inguinal region. Impression was that of a large right groin
hematoma. There was no evidence of obvious pseudo-aneurysm
or arteriovenous fistula.
REPEAT RIGHT VASCULAR ULTRASOUND OF THE LOWER EXTREMITY
([**2144-9-4**]): Again, there was a large right femoral hematoma
which demonstrates heterogeneous echotexture. The right
common femoral artery and vein are patent demonstrating
normal vascular flow. There is no evidence of
pseudo-aneurysm or arteriovenous fistula formation.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Coronary artery disease: Patient with known history of
coronary artery disease status post coronary catheterization
times two on [**2144-9-9**], status post stent placement in
the proximal/mid left anterior descending artery. Plan was
made to continue aspirin, Plavix, Lipitor and folate. It was
unclear originally why the patient was not on a beta blocker.
Therefore, once his blood pressure was able to tolerate
additional antihypertensives, a low dose beta blocker was
added to his medication regimen. We started him on
metoprolol, titrating up the dose to desired effect.
Initially many of the patient's antihypertensive medications
including Catapres and Accupril were held secondary to the
questionable hemodynamic instability resulting from his right
groin hematoma and blood loss anemia. After stabilization of
his intravascular volume status post multiple transfusions,
and several days of monitoring, the patient was restarted on
metoprolol and captopril. After several days of monitoring,
the patient continued to be hypertensive with blood pressures
ranging 160 to 180 over 90's to 100. Therefore the doses of
the captopril and metoprolol were titrated up. The captopril
was switched to longer acting lisinopril. At the time of
discharge the patient's blood pressure was controlled on
metoprolol 100 b.i.d., lisinopril 40 q. day and
hydrochlorothiazide 25 q. day.
The patient continued to be monitored on telemetry with no
evidence of acute conduction abnormalities. After the
complaint of chest pain on the first day of admission with no
demonstrable electrocardiographic changes, the patient
remained chest pain free for the remainder of this admission.
2. Right groin hematoma resulting in blood loss anemia:
Vascular Surgery consultation was obtained status post
coronary catheterization and development of large right groin
hematoma. Vascular Surgery recommended a lower extremity
ultrasound with results as above, namely, ultrasound
demonstrated a large right groin hematoma, no evidence of
pseudo-aneurysm or arteriovenous fistula formation. In the
Coronary Care Unit, serial hematocrits were obtained,
patient's blood pressure and hemodynamics were checked
serially and peripheral pulse checks were done q. one hour.
Due to anemia secondary to blood loss, the patient required
multiple blood transfusions for stabilization of his blood
volume and maintenance of hematocrit greater than 30. All
told he received five units of blood. Initially also he was
kept on bed rest with Foley catheter in place and his right
leg immobilized. His pain was treated with morphine,
fentanyl and Versed initially. After several days it was
switched over to Vicodin as the patient uses Vicodin at home
for control of his lower back pain. Repeat ultrasound was
obtained on [**2144-9-4**], with no evidence of hematoma
expansion, no evidence of pseudo-aneurysm or arteriovenous
fistula formation. Upon discharge, the patient's hematoma
size was stabilized. Serial hematocrits had been stable
above 33 to 36 for several days. As the patient's hematoma
resolved within a prolonged period of immobilization, it was
felt that discharge to a rehabilitation facility where he
could work on functional mobility and increasing gait and
balance was warranted.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Fair. Right groin hematoma size
stable. Hematocrit stabilized. Unable to demonstrate full
pre-hospital functionality, so discharge to rehab.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Patient discharge to extended care
facility, rehab program.

Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 4891**]
Chief Complaint:
hypoxia, mental status changes
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 2866**] is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old man with a history of Parkinson's
disease, dementia, hypertension, and recent aspiration pneumonia
who presents with altered mental status and is admitted to the
[**Hospital Unit Name 153**] with hypoxic respiratory failure.
She was recently admitted in [**2132-6-26**] for delirium and
gradually worsening mental status and was found to have
aspiration PNA and treated with antibiotics. This admission was
notable for a speech and swallow evaluation concluding in the
recommendation for aspiration precautions, and a discussion
about goals of care with his daughter and subsequent change in
his code status to DNI/DNR.
He was discharged to rehab and then transferred to [**Hospital1 **] nursing
home for long term care. He was doing well until the day prior
to admission when his daughter noted that he was less oriented
than usual (he is A/0 to person and sometimes place or time at
baseline) and having a productive cough with difficulty managing
his oral secreations. He was transferred to the ED for further
evaluation. ROS is notably negative for fevers, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, dysuria, and rash. EMS reports he was
92%ra.
In the ED, initial VS: 99.2 74 126/107 24 98%NRB. He was
tachypneic to the 40s with copious oral secretions. O2 sats
fell to the high 80s and he was put on a NRB with improvement in
his hypoxia. He was given 500cc NS initially because it was
felt she was dry, and then lasix 10iv x 1 because of concern for
volume overload. She also received morphine for dyspnea. CXR
showed mew LLL infiltrate and resolution of prior RLL pneumonia
and she was treated with vanc/levoflox. He also had a negative
head CT. He was initially admitted to the ICU for
stabilization.

IMAGING:
[**9-6**] CXR: Left basilar opacity concerning for infection with
small left
pleural effusion. Prominent hila bilaterally.
[**9-6**] CXR: There has been little change compared to the prior
study. Again noted is a left basilar airspace opacity concerning
for infection. Small left pleural effusion persists. There is a
patchy opacity as well on the right lung base which could
represent an atelectasis. Both hila remain prominent, and
underlying lymphadenopathy may be present. The cardiac and
mediastinal contours are unchanged. Pulmonary vascularity is not
engorged. Hemithorax. Left-sided dual-chamber pacemaker leads
terminating in right atrium and right ventricle are again noted.
[**9-7**] CT Head w/o Contrast:
Essentially unchanged study from [**2132-7-6**]. No acute
intracranial process. Similar global atrophy, particularly
bifrontal, and unchanged cystic encephalomalacia in the left
cerebellar hemisphere.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 2866**] is a [**Age over 90 **]yo male w a history of Parkinson's disease,
dementia, hypertension, and recent aspiration pneumonia who
presents with altered mental status and is admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]
with hypoxia and tachypnea.
# Pulmonary Process: Patient with recent admission for PNA in
[**Month (only) 205**], admitted with elevated WCC, AMS, CXR with new L basilar
opacity concerning for infection with small left pleural
effusion. At this time it was believed this was secondary to a
recurrent aspiration pneumonia, however heart failure, PE and
atelectasis were also considered within the differential. A
urine legionella antigen was negative. He was started on
vancomycin, levofloxacin and cefepime to cover for hospital and
community acquired PNA, but then switched to vancomycin, cipro
and cefepime for better pseudomonal coverage. Given the concern
for aspiration, he was ordered for a speech and swallow
evaluation, who has evaluated him previously for a similar
condition. Once he was stabilized, he was transitioned to the
medicine HMED service, and he was gradually transitioned to PO
antibiotics with cipro and flagyl to avoid the need for a PICC
line.
# Dysphagia: Attributed to his underlying parkinson's and
dementia. Appears stable, per speech and swallow evaluation. A
ground diet with thin liquids was recommended., with aspiration
precautions, with special consideration made for the days that
his mental status is poor, to consider reassessing before
offering him food. Per discussions with his daughter/HCP [**Name (NI) **],
the decision was made for him to eat for comfort and not pursue
invasive measures related to the dysphagia.
# Acute kidney injury: On admission the patient's creatinine was
elevated to 1.6 from a baseline of 0.9. This was believed to be
secondary to hypovolemic hypoperfusion. In the ED, the patient
had received both a fluid bolus and a one-time dose of IV lasix
10mg. On arrival in the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], the patient received an
additional fluid bolus. His serum Cr stabilized at 1.5 and this
may be a new baseline. He did not appear intravascularly
contracted or overloaded at the time of discharge.
# Goals of care: Extensive discussion with his HCP/daughter,
including a geriatrics inpatient consult, was helpful in
clarifying the patient's goals of care. The daughter expressed
interest in discussing goals of care and potential transition to
inpatient hospice in the near future. We discussed avoiding IV
antibiotics, as they would require a PICC line that he might
find uncomfortable, but did choose to have him remain on PO
antibiotics at this time. His prognosis due to the recurrent
aspirations is poor, and his daughter understands that the point
may arise when she no longer wishes for him to be readmitted to
the hospital. She will discuss the goals of care further with Dr
[**Last Name (STitle) **], at [**Hospital1 **]. Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] was updated by the writer on the
day prior to discharge.

revascularization.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
Hypercholesterolemia.
MEDICATIONS:
None at home.
ALLERGIES:
No known drug allergies.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
Following transfer from [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital, the patient
underwent cardiac catheterization on [**2152-10-23**] which revealed
80% hazy proximal stenosis of the LMCA and total occlusion of
the left circumflex proximally. The left anterior descending
artery and right coronary artery had minimal luminal
irregularities.
During the procedure, the patient developed 6/10 chest pain
and Cardiothoracic Surgery team was contact[**Name (NI) **] for urgent
surgical revascularization. The patient became pain free
following placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump as well
as IV Fentanyl and high-flow oxygen.
Patient was taken to the operating room on the same day, and
had a two vessel coronary artery bypass graft with a left
internal mammary being grafted to the left anterior
descending artery and saphenous vein graft to the OM. The
patient was thereafter transferred to the SICU for continued
management.
The patient's intra-aortic balloon pump was discontinued on
postoperative day #1. Patient had labile blood pressures and
required Neo-Synephrine until postoperative day #2. Patient
also received two units of packed red blood cells for a
hematocrit of 22. Patient was transferred to the
Cardiothoracic Surgery floor on postoperative day #3.
Patient had an uneventful recovery on the Cardiothoracic
Surgery floor. Physical therapy was initiated, and by the
time of discharge, the patient had achieved level five
activity with physical therapy.
Patient's pain was well controlled on Percocet. Patient
remained in normal sinus rhythm. The patient was on a
nicotine patch for heavy tobacco use prior to admission. The
patient was deemed stable for discharge on postoperative day
#5.
The patient's blood glucose was noted to be as high as 240
one time in the unit, and the patient may need outpatient
evaluation for diabetes.

Brief Hospital Course:
20 yo F presented with severe preeclampsia at 26 weeks,
transferred from [**Hospital3 2568**], taken for stat s/p C-section, found
to have thyrotoxicosis and cardiomyopathy.
Respiratory failure due to cardiomyopathy: Intubated prior to
her C-section with general anesthesia. Found to have bilateral
pleural effusions; TTE showed an of EF 45% and new MR/TR. This
is indicative of peripartum cardiomyopathy. Optimal treatment
with neurohormonal blockade was initiated with beta blockers and
ACE inhibitors. She was able to tolerate lisinopril 40mg daily
and labetalol 600mg po tid. She was diuresed with IV lasix
(20mg IV bid) and upon discharge she was transitioned to 20mg po
daily. She was euvolemic upon discharge. On the day prior to
discharge she underwent a repeat echocardiogram, EF was 50% and
there was 1+ MR. She was advised to avoid further pregnancy at
least until her ejection fraction returns to normal. She was
set up for follow up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 449**] Change from the Advanced
Heart Failure Clinic at [**Hospital1 18**].
Severe Preeclampsia: With hypertension and significant
proteinuria. Treated with stat C section and 24 hours of
magnesium drip. She was followed by maternal fetal medicine
throughout her hospitalization.
Thyrotoxicosis: likely [**Doctor Last Name 933**] disease with exopthalmos, tremor,
tachycardia, cardiomyopathy. She was started on methimazole
which was titrated down to 20mg po daily. The patient will
follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] on [**9-25**].
Post-op Cesarian delivery: Stable with average post-op bleeding
and vaginal bleeding. She was given rectal misoprostol to help
stop her bleeding. Her Hct remained stable. Her baby girl was
admitted to the NICU upon delivery and was doing well at the
time of her mother's discharge.

History of Present Illness:
72 yo F with poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of
the lung who underwent rigid bronch [**2154-8-30**] (Friday) in the
CDC for debridement of a nodule partially occluding the trachea
(CT 09/[**2153**]).
Patient was apneic post-operatively attributed to paralytics,
for which she was intubated and placed on AC until the paralytic
wore off. She was then weaned to CPAP and extubated to high flow

better evaluated in prior CT [**8-5**] and are unchanged.
[**2154-8-31**] Radiology CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
There has been markedly improved in right upper, right perihilar

aspiration.
Cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged with mild-to-moderate
cardiomegaly.
There is no evident pneumothorax. Of note, the lateral aspect of

[**2154-8-30**] Radiology CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
FINDINGS: In comparison with the earlier study of this date, the
endotracheal tube has been removed. The diffuse area of
opacification involving the perihilar region extending into both
the apical and lower zone on the right is again seen. Again,
this could well represent post-procedure hemorrhage, though
supervening pneumonia cannot be excluded.

[**Last Name (LF) 829**],[**First Name3 (LF) 828**] C. Not Finalized
Brief Hospital Course:
# Apnea/Hypoxia: The patient experienced apnea in the immediate
post-operative period following debridement of a tracheal
nodule. The apnea was thought to be attributed to paralytics,
which warranted intubation. When the paralytic agents wore off,
the patient was extubated, but remained hypoxia. The prolonged
hypoxia post-operatively was attributed to aspiration
pneumonitis likely with an element of post-operative
inflammation from the procedure itself. The patient remained
rhoncorous with course upper airway breath sounds throughout the
hospitalization. CXR ruled out PNA as a potentialy source of
hypoxia, and the patient did not produce significant volumes of
concentration of blood in the sputum concerning for tracheal
bleed. Other possibilities include worsening of underlying lung
cancer which is unlikely to explain acute hypoxia. The patient
was eventually transitioned to high flow face mask, followed by
high-flow face tent, followed by nasal cannular on 4L. The
patient was weaned without event from 4L to 2L nasal cannula and
transferred to the inpatient medical floor, where she continued
sat'ing ~94% on 2L. Nebs were administered on an as needed basis
throughout the duration of hospitalization, and were found to be
helpful in terms of coughing up phlegm.
The patient was taken off supplemental oxygen the following day
and sat'ed within her normal baseline range 88-92% on room air
without any problems at rest. However, patient desaturated with
physical therapy during activity. They recommended home oxygen
(2L with activity)when ambulating with a walker. The patient
will be discharged with home oxygen as well as VNA services.
.
# Hct Drop: The patient presented with a Hct 44.7 and found to
have a Hct of 33.1 post-operatively. The low Hct is most likely
attributable to fluids received during procedure and minimal
blood loss, however given the 12 point drop, her lab values were
followed and the Hct level was stable and began to rise without
event or concern for chonic blood loss. Hct 34.0->35.8 this AM.
.
# Non-Small Cell Lung CA: A new tracheal mass identified on CT
in [**Month (only) **] was highly concerning for metastasis and likely to
grow to occlude airway the airway, so surgical debridement was
warranted with interventional pulmonology without intraoperative
complications outside of apnea/hypoxia as elaborated on above.
The patient is now POD#2 s/p debridment by IP. Biopsy results
are pending. She is followed by interventional pulmonology for
continued management.
.
# Goals of Care: Discussed code status with patient, daughter
and sons. [**Name (NI) **] quite clearly does not desire intubation or
heroic measures. Daughter is having a difficult time with this
but understands and respects her mother's wishes. The DNR/DNI
status was confirmed with the patient and her health care proxy.

Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane) and supplemental oxygen.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the [**Hospital 18**] hospital for surgical debridement
of a tracheal nodule that was contributing to your difficulty
breathing. You underwent this procedure with the interventional
pulmonologists.
After surgery you were found to have difficulty breathing and
decreased oxygen levels that were thought to be a result of both
the paralytic [**Doctor Last Name 360**] used during surgery as well as the
possibility that you aspirated fluids into your trachea/lungs
during surgery. As such, you were intubated and transferred to
the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for respiratory care and
support.
In the MICU, your blood oxygen levels improved over the course
of a day on supplemental oxygen and you were transitioned from a
face-mask to a face-tent to a nasal cannula on supplementary
oxygen. When your oxygen levels stabilized, you were transferred
to the inpatient floor, where you were eventually weaned off of
supplementary oxygen. You were breathing stable at your baseline
blood oxygen levels on the inpatient floor at rest, but were
found to be significantly short of breath with activity. As
such, physical therapy has recommended home oxygen, as well as
instructed you to walk with a walker.
We have set up visiting nursing to assist you with your home
oxygen, as well as evaluating you for home safety and continued
physical therapy.
The following changes were made to your at-home medications:
1) Added Home oxygen.
2) Added Albuterol-Ipratropium inhaler. Please take 1-2 PUFFs
every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing.
No other changes were made to your at-home medications. Please
continue taking them as instructed.
3) Decreased your metoprolol to 50 mg twice a day from 150 mg
Followup Instructions:
Please follow-up with your primary care physician 7-10 days
following discharge.

History of Present Illness:
24 yom with no PMH who 2 days ago while swimming became "dizzy,"
resolving with rest. Sensation was intermittent and he thought
it was possibly due to his childhood asthma. He tried inhalers
without relief. On the day of admission he was bending down to
pick things up at the pool and noted tat he got lightheaded
every time he stood back up. He describes an associated
"throbby" feeling in his chest, however denies CP or overt
palpitations. He experienced mild SOB with episodes. Denies any
orhopnea, PND, LE edema.
On ROS, pt. describes being in his usual state of health until 2
days ago. He denies fevers or chills, uri symptoms, constipation
or skin changes. One episode of diarrea a few days ago.
At baseline, pateitn swims laps, is not limited by SOB or CP or
any activities. No history of syncope.
In the ED, patient found to have hr in 180s. Initially, rate too
rapid to identify type of tachycardia on EKG (appeared to be
supraventricular), and patient received adenosine which
decreased rate and unmasked atrial fibrillation. He was given 10
mg IV diltiazem + 30 mg PO diltiazem, which decreased HR 110s.
HR increased again however and he was started on diltiazem drip
and sent to CCU.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was brought to the cardiac critical care unit with
continued atrial fibrillation while on a diltiazem IV drip. He
was subsequently cardioverted with 2 rounds of 1 mg ibutilide
given IV. He remained in normal sinus rhythm thereafter. The
cause of his atrial fibrillation was considered to be a benign
response to vagal trigger. Given the patient's age and lack of
other cardiac medical history, anticoagulation and
antiarrhythmic medications are not necessary at this time. The
patient was scheduled for an outpatient echocardiogram to
evaluate for occult structural disease and also will follow-up
with a cardiologist as an outpatient.

Discharge Instructions:
You had an episode of atrial fibrillation, which is an abnormal
heart rhythm that was terminated with medication in the
hospital. In the future, if you have these events and are
feeling poorly, please return to the hospital. Otherwise,
provided you feel generally well, you should try lying down and
relaxing; this heart rhythm frequently terminates on its own.
You should make the follow up appointments as listed below. You
will need to have an echocardiogram of your heart (see phone
number below) within the week.
We advise continuing your efforts to lose weight as this will
benefit your overall health, and may help to prevent further
episodes of this heart rhythm.
Followup Instructions:
Please call [**Telephone/Fax (1) 3312**] or [**Telephone/Fax (1) 69442**] to schedule an
echocardiogram within the week.

Pertinent Results:
HIP MRI: [**2119-2-22**]
RESULT PENDING.
Right Knee HIP XR:
INDICATION: Right knee pain.
COMPARISON: Right knee radiograph on [**2120-1-17**]. CT-Torso
on [**2117-11-15**].
Single AP view of the pelvis. Additional view of the right hip
and two views
of the right knee.
RIGHT HIP: There is a deformity of the right acetabulum,
suggesting an old
fracture. Heterotopic ossification is seen in bilateral hips.
The SI joints
are not visible and probably fused. There is compression
deformity of the
right femoral head with joint space narrowing and subchondral
sclerosis of the
acetabulum, not seen on prior CT-Torso on [**2117-11-15**].
This finding is
suggestive of avascular necrosis.
RIGHT KNEE: Marked muscle wasting is seen in the right lower
extremity with
marked demineralization. The large spur on the inferior aspect
of the patella
is unchanged from [**2120-1-17**]. There is no acute fracture or
dislocation in
the right knee.
Impression: Probable old fracture of the right acetabulum along
with marked
muscle wasting (suggestng paraplegia). Probably fusion of the SI
joints may
reflect spondyloarthropathy or relate to ? paraplegia. Probable
AVN
rightfemoral head.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.

Brief Hospital Course:
Dr. [**Known lastname 2026**] is the 61-year-old male with a past medical history
significant for end-stage renal disease who receives
hemodialysis on Tuesday Thursday Saturday, non-ischemic
cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 40-50%, hepatitis B,
coronary artery disease, CVA, MRSA bacteremia secondary to a
presumed dialysis line infection (line was subsequently
replaced) [**2120-1-25**] on vancomycin until [**2120-2-27**] who presented
to the emergency department with a chief complaint of right hip
and knee pain as well as asymptomatic hypotension at dialysis
(70/50s).
During his admission in the MICU, he was hypotensive to the
90??????s/45, however, per report that this is the patients baseline.
Furthermore, when the patient receives HD, his blood pressure
tends to drop 10-20 points. He reports no symptoms then either.
He was treated with meropenem in addition to his vancomycin in
the MICU. However, per recommendations of ID, his meropenem was
held. There were no acute events in the MICU and he has remained
afebrile. His presenting complaint to the emergency department
was for his right hip and knee pain. Xrays reveal an acetabular
fracture as well as avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The
patient notes that he is bound to a scooter at home. Upon review
of systems, he denies chest pain, SOB, denies fevers, chills,
change in bowel or bladder habits, cough. Patient endorses
chronic right/hip and knee pain. He was subsequent transferred
to the floor.
1. Hypotension
Hypotension: Per record patient has a baseline blood pressure in
the low 100s to 90s. This problem seems to be exacerbated by the
fluid removal in hemodialysis secondary to his ESRD. Notably the
patient does not complain of any sequelae from his hypotension.
He has undergone and extensive workup and is being appropriately
treated with vancomycin. He is afebrile and without white
count. His blood cultures have shown no growth to date.
- Vanc dose per HD until [**2120-2-27**].
-Less fluid removal at hemodialysis
-Midodrine maintains SBP during HD
.
2.ESRD: Patient has long standing history of ESRD.
-Electrolyte management per renal
-Low phos diet
-Nephrocaps
3. Right knee and hip pain:
He has been hemodynamically stable but continues to report right
knee pain, for which he refused arthrocentesis while in MICU. He
agreed to it on [**2-23**], as we expressed concern about possible
septic arthritis. Orthopedic Surgery was consulted, and
arthrocentesis was performed. They also recommended CT of hip to
further evaluate AVN as well as look for fluid collection,
though
unlikely. Radiology recommended MRI instead, and he had MRI
[**2120-2-23**]
Currently denies hip pain, states knee feels better. Knee
aspirate showed no growth.
Will follow up with Ortho oupatient for possible hip
replacement.

intubated prior to arrival at [**Hospital1 18**] and had [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] bolt
insertion on [**2156-8-16**]. His ICPs remained normal for 24 hours and
his bolt was removed. He moved all extremities except his left
arm, plain films of the arm were negative. CT imaging of his
neck showed a large disc herniation at C3-C4 causing cord
compression and he underwent anterior cervical discectomy and
fusion on [**2156-8-20**]. Patient receiving tube feeds through NG tube,
patient is unable to eat. He was transferred out of the Trauma
ICU on [**8-20**] at that time he started having significant fevers.
.
[**2156-8-20**] - [**2156-8-27**]: The patient started to have a fever on [**8-20**],
although, did have
low grade temperatures (100-100.4) intermittently during the
hospitalization. Blood cultures were drawn (presumed from the
line, not labeled) [**1-2**] Coagulase negative Staphylococcus, two
morphologies, was reported on [**2156-8-22**]. He was started on
vancomycin and surveillance cultures were drawn. He remained
febrile through [**8-24**] when he developed tachypnea and snoring
respirations. He was scanned from his neck to pelvis and no
obvious source of infection was found. He was transferred to the
MICU service on [**8-24**] for treatment of his fevers and concerning
respiratory status. Upon arrival to the MICU, pt had difficulty
protecting his airway - most likely secondary to both tongue
obstruction as well as post op prevertebral soft tissue edema
with subsequent narrowing of the airway. Patient was treated
with Vancomycin/Zosyn for Aspiration Pneumonia. Pt was
electively intubated on [**8-24**]. While intubated, pt only required
pressure support and he was successfully extubated on [**8-27**].
.
[**8-28**] - [**2156-9-6**]: Patient transferred to general medicine floor.
Patient continued on IV antibiotics (Vancomycin and Zosyn) for
aspiration pneumonia until [**2156-8-30**]. [**2156-9-2**] patient developed
fever of 100.3. Blood culture, urine culture, CXR negative.
X-ray of hardware in cervical spine no overt sign of infection.
Patient's fever eventually resolved. Nutritional status on [**Last Name **]
problem. [**Name (NI) **] failed bed-side speech evaluation and video
study. PEG tube was placed [**2156-9-1**] for nutritional status,
currently on tube feeds. Patient requires rehab for neurologic
dysfunction. Patient awake and alert, but oriented only to name.
Left upper extremity is completely flaccid. Patient unable to
eat, dress, wash or perform any basic activities on his own.
Unable to follow simple directions. Patient is only able to
answer yes/no to very simple questions, unable to follow more
complex questions.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2474**]
Chief Complaint:
Dysuria, abdominal pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Percutaneous CT scan guided drainage of abdominal fluid.
History of Present Illness:
Patient is a 68 yo F, h/o cervical CA, radiation cystitis,
radiation colitis, frequent line infections, recurrent UTIs who
presented after developing acute on chronic severe abdominal
pain. Four days prior to admission, patient woke with severe
abdominal pain that was worsened with movement. She had some
dysuria in the days prior. She also complained of nausea and
vomiting. Her abdominal pain was worsened by movement. She
denied fevers or chills.
.
She was brought by ambulance to an outside hospital. There she
had a CT of her abdomen which was notable for mild ascites, but
no acute process. She was mildly hypotensive to SBP of 90s and
was given 3 L NS. Given levofloxacin/flagyl. She was transferred
to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED. On arrival T 100.8, hr 107, bp 100/71. Soon
thereafter SBP dropped to the 70s and she was bolused a total 5L
NS. Her ostomy output was heme negative. U/A showed gross blood
and + WBC. She was given one dose of meropenem 500mg IV, as this
is what she was discharged on previously. Her pain was also
treated with tylenol and dilaudid. She became mildly hypotensive
with dilaudid. Pt was then transfer to the MICU her VS were T
98, 120/51, 15, 99/ra.
.
On arrival to the ICU, she again become hypotensive and required
levophed. She also recieved one unit of PRBCs for HCT of 22. She
was continued on meropenem for presumed urosepsis, and had
received a total of 8L of IV fluids while in the ICU. She was
then transferred to the floor after she stabilized on [**3-13**].
.
The morning of [**3-14**], she was noted to be in marked respiratory
distress. Her oxygen saturation at times dropped to 80% on
non-rebreather, and was noted to be hypertensive into the 160s
systolic. She was given 20mg lasix x 2, her usual dose of
dilaudid and hydralazine without marked improvement, and the
MICU resident was called. Examination demonstrated bilateral
crackles and JVP elevated to the angle of the mandible. CXR
demonstrated marked pulmonary edema. She was given
nitroglycerin SL and transferred to the ICU for possible
initiation of BIPAP.
.
When she arrived in the ICU, her respiratory status had markedly
improved and she denied any shortness of breath or chest pain.
She continued however to have abdominal pain.

IMAGING:
[**2126-3-11**] CXR:
In comparison with the study of [**2-11**], there is some increased
opacification at the left base, which does not silhouette the
hemidiaphragm or left heart border. Although this could
conceivably represent a region of pneumonia, it more likely
reflects artifact of soft tissues pressed against the cassette.
No evidence of vascular congestion or pleural effusion. Tip of
the central catheter again lies in the mid-to-lower portion of
the SVC.
.
[**2126-3-12**] CT Abdomen/Pelvis w/ con:
1. New moderate ascites and small bilateral pleural effusions.
No evidence of abscess or pyelonephritis.
2. Unchanged fullness of the left renal pelvis, likely due to
UPJ obstruction.
3. Stable moderate common bile duct dilation in this patient who
is post-cholecystectomy.
.
[**2126-3-16**] CT Chest w/o con:
1. Extensive fibrotic changes and ground-glass opacity
suggestive of pneumonitis such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis,
drug toxicity or NSIP.
2. No evidence of edema or pneumonia.
.
[**2126-3-18**] ECHO:
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. The
estimated right atrial pressure is 0-10mmHg. Left ventricular
wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic
function are normal (LVEF >55%). The estimated cardiac index is
normal (>=2.5L/min/m2). The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Mild (1+) aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic
pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved
global and regional biventricular systolic function. Mild aortic
regurgitation. Mild mitral regurgitation. Compared with the
prior study (images reviewed) of [**2125-10-30**], mild mitral
regurgitation is now seen.
.
[**2126-3-19**] chest x-ray:
In comparison with the study of [**3-18**], there has been decrease in
the diffuse bilateral pulmonary opacifications, consistent with
improving
pulmonary edema or hemorrhage. Blunting of the costophrenic
angle on the
right persists consistent with a small effusion. Increasing
opacification at the left base is consistent with pleural
effusion and some volume loss.
Central catheter remains in place.
.
[**2126-3-21**] KUB: Dilated loops of bowel in the left mid abdomen up to
4.8 cm which raise concern for small-bowel obstruction. CT
provides more specific
information if clinical concern remains.
.
[**2126-3-21**] KUB: Supine and upright abdominal radiographs were
obtained. A dilated loop of bowel in the left lower quadrant
measures 4.8 cm and is essentially unchanged in four hours.
Surgical clips project over the mid abdomen and pelvis. A
calcified right breast implant is seen. Dilated bowel loop
remains concerning for small-bowel obstruction.
.
[**2126-3-22**] CT abdomen:1. Multiple intra-abdominal fluid collections,
with rim enhancement and pockets of air, highly suspicious for
abscess. 2. Interval development of marked left hydronephrosis.
3. Status post right nephrectomy. Appearance of fluid-filled
tubular structure at the expected location and course of the
right ureter. If the patient did not have right ureteral
resection, this could represent a urine-filled right ureteral
stump. Recommend clinical correlations. 4. Thickened, diffuse
bladder wall, likely radiation change such as radiation
cystitis. 5. No bowel obstruction. Oral contrast has reached the
RLQ ileostomy bag.
.
[**2126-3-25**] Abd US:1. A small subhepatic fluid collection measuring
4.5 cm. Previously seen right paracolic gutter and pelvic fluid
collections are not well visualized. Please note that ultrasound
is less sensitive for detecting loculated intra-abdominal fluid
collections. 2. Stable appearance of the mild intra- and
extra-hepatic biliary dilatation.
3. Moderate left hydroureteronephrosis, slightly improved since
the prior
study.
.
At time of discharge, intraabdominal fluid culture pending
(prelim result no growth to date).
Brief Hospital Course:
MICU Course: [**Date range (1) 70244**]
# Sepsis of likely urinary origin:
Upon presentation to [**Hospital1 18**] on [**3-11**], had blood pressure drop to
70s sytolic. She was given 5L IVF in ED and transferred to MICU.
CXR was unrevealing. U/A showed increased leuks and WBC on urine
micro. Was empirically started on meropenem in MICU given that
patient had recently been on carbapenems for a UTI in end of
1/[**2126**]. In MICU her BP was intially stable and then fell and
patient was started on norepinephrine, which she remained on for
approximately 17 hours on [**3-12**]. Given patient's severe abdominal
pain, received a CT abd/pelvis in the ED which showed moderate
ascites, though no other acute changes. Surgery consult was
called and felt that there was no acute surgical intervention
indicated and followed the patient's course in the MICU. We also
trended patient's lactate level, which was 3.2 at presentation
and trended down to 1.3 with fluid resuscitation. Checked cdiff
toxin, which was negative. IV team was called to assist in
managment of patient's tunneled double lumen catheter and they
suggested ethanol dwells between TPN infusions in order to
prevent line infection. Blood cultures from [**3-11**] and [**3-12**] were
negative.
.
# Abdominal pain:
Pain with severe abdominal pain upon presentation. We reassured
after ruling out acute intra-abdominal process with CT scan and
serial exams. Given frequent (Q1hour) IV dilaudid requirements
on morning of [**3-13**], pain service consult was called; however,
prior to pain service seeing patient her pain improved to point
that dilaudid could be given less frequently. Was felt that we
had been behind on pain control after sleeping overnight,
possible due to held doses of gabapentin. She was continued on
methadone, dilaudid, and gabapentin.
.
# Anemia:
HCT was found to be 22, pt was transfused 1 unit of PRBCs.
Post-transfusion HCT was 26.9.
.
Medicine Floor Course: [**Date range (1) 32116**]:
Patient was called out from the MICU on [**2126-3-13**] after she had
been normotensive for 24 hours without pressors. She had a new
oxygen requirement (94% on 4L) thought [**2-20**] volume overload (8 L
+ for LOS). Overnight, she was hypertensive to 188/80. In the
morning she was found to be hypoxic to 81% on 4L. She was put on
a non-rebreather with intermittent improvement of her oxygen
sats to low 90s but would then drop to low 80s. She was also
given iv lasix 20 mg x 2 and she put out 2 L in 2 hours. Her
blood pressure was treated with hydralazine 20 mg iv x1 and SL
nitro. Despite these interventions she was still hypoxic in the
80s on a non-rebreather and was transferred back to the MICU for
positive pressure ventilation and aggressive diuresis.
.
MICU Course: [**Date range (1) 97780**]:
CXR was c/w volume overload, likely from fluid resuscitation she
received in the MICU. She was diuresed with IV lasix and started
on azithromycin for atypical pneumonia coverage. CT chest
performed later revealed extensive fibrotic changes and
ground-glass opacities suggestive of pneumonitis such as
hypersensitivity pneumonitis, drug toxicity, or NSIP.
Pneumonitis workup was initiated. ESR =83, CRP = 188.2, [**Doctor First Name **],
ANCA, Beta-glucan, and galactomannan were all negative. She was
stable and was transferred to the floor for further evaluation.
.
Medicine Floor Course: [**Date range (1) 20494**]:
Pt was stable and continued to improved.
Active issues:
.
# Hypoxemia/Pulmonary infiltrates: Oxygenation gradually
improved and pt was weaned off oxygen supplement gradually.
Etiology of infiltrates was unclear, possibilities included
[**Name (NI) **] and medication-induced lung toxicity. Pt received 1 course
of azithromycin for possible atypical pneumonia. Her flu and
legionella screenings were negative. She was weaned off O2 and
mantained 95%+ saturation on room air at the time of discharge.
.
# Urosepsis: Pt remained hemodynamically stable on the floor.
She received meropenem for total of 7 days ([**Date range (1) 28666**]). She
remained without urinary complaints. Pt was given Hyoscyamine
for bladder spasm pain.
.
#Anemia: The patients hematocrit trended down throughout her
hospitalization from around 27 to a low of 22. Her baseline over
the last few months has been 25-28. This was attributed to her
ongoing inflammation secondary to her radiation enteritis and
cystitis, although the precise etiology remains unclear, and
infection and myelodysplasia should be considered as well. Her
manual reticulocyte count was found to be 1.7 (corrected 0.53),
indicating insufficient marrow response. Her ostomy output was
found to be guiac negative and her C+ CT scan of the abdomen and
pelvis demonstrated no evidence of active bleeding. Hemolysis
labs demonstrated no evidence of ongoing hemolytic process,
however corrected retic count was low. This can be due to
illness or medication suppression. Recent iron studies were all
within normal limits. Pt was instructed to follow up with
primary care physician about this issue, with repeat
Hct/reticulocyte count and further workup as needed.
.
# Abdominal pain/fluid collections: The patient had known
chronic abdominal pain related to cervical cancer and radiation
complications. C. diff was been negative. We continued her home
medication (methadone and oxycodone), and added dilaudid. Pt was
able to eat and drink, and did not have any vomiting. She was
evaluated with KUB for possible obstruction, which showed
dilated loops of bowel. CT of abdomen demonstrated multiple
fluid collections, enlarged fluid filled bladder, L
hydronephrosis, and a dilated fluid filled ureteral stump.
Urology was consulted, and a foley was placed for decompression.
When the patient was taken for CT-guided drainage of the
collections, the collections had almost completely disappeared,
potentially related to decompression from the foley catheter.
Fluid from the remaining collection was sampled and sent for
culture and analysis, which demonstrated no bacteria and a
creatinine of 1.8 (not consistent with urinoma). Repeat
ultrasound demonstrated interval resolution of the previoulsy
noted hydronephrosis and stable appearance of the fluid
collections compared to the most recent CT scan.
.
Chronic issues:
.
# CKD: Pt Cr remained at her her baseline, and no new acute
issues.
.
# Short Gut Syndrome: We continued pt's TPN and she was also
followed by the nutritionist while she was in the hospital.
.
# Anxiety/depression: We continued pt's home meds (alprazolam,
fluoxetine).
.
# Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia: We continued the pt's home meds
(gabapentin, methadone).
.
# Hypothyroidism: We continued the pt's home med
(levothyroxine).
.
# Osteoporosis: We continued the pt's home med (vitamin D,
calcium).
.
#HTN: We restarted pt's Lisinopril on [**3-19**] after her blood
pressure returned to its chronically high level.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 13275**],
.
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 827**]. You were admitted for a severe infection of the
urinary tract, anemia, low blood pressure and shortness of
breath.
.
-For your urinary tract infection, you were given a course of IV
antibiotics and your infection resolved.
.
-For your low blood pressure, you were given IV fluids and
medications to help maintain your blood pressure initially. Your
low blood pressure was related to your urinary tract infection
and improved as this issue improved. After you returned to your
baseline blood pressure (high), we restarted your blood pressure
medication.
.
-For your anemia, you were transfused 1 unit of packed red blood
cells. You should follow up regarding this issue with your
primary care doctor as an outpatient.
.
-For your shortness of breath, you were given oral antibiotics,
supplementary oxygen and diuretics, and you improved. We think
that your shortness of breath may have been related to an
adverse reaction to a blood transfusion that you received. You
will follow up as outpatient at the pulmonary clinic (see
below).
.
-For your abdominal pain, we obtained a CT scan which initially
showed multiple fluid collections in your abdominal cavity.
These collections resolved spontaneously following placement of
a foley catheter, and so we suspect that they were related to
your bladder. We took you to interventional radiology to sample
fluid from one of these collections, and found no evidecne of
infection. You were also followed by urology, who recommended
keeping the foley in place until you have an appointment with
them in 2 weeks.
.
We made the following changes to your medications:
CHANGED Oxycodone 5mg 1-2 tablets by mouth every 6 hours to PO
Dilaudid 2mg 1-2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for pain.
.
STARTED Hyocyamine 0.125mg SL every 6 hours as needed for
bladder spasm
STARTED Clotrimazole 1 troc by mouth 4 times a day.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 28673**] was admitted on [**2129-7-14**] for Right VATS total
pulmonary decortication and parietal pleurectomy. She was
transferred to SICU intubated. A bedside echocardiogram
revealed low cardiac output. A central line was placed to
monitor volume status. She was transfused 1 unit of PRBC for
HCT of 26. and administered a fluid challenge with a good
response. On [**2129-7-15**] she was extubated. On [**2129-7-17**] she
transferred to the floor.
Respiratory: Once extubated her oxygen saturations were in the
high 90's on nasal cannula. Aggressive pulmonary toilet & IS
were continued. Her RA oxygen saturations at rest were 94-96%,
on ambulation 89-92%. She was discharged to home on 1 Liter
nasal cannula with ambulation as needed.
Chest tubes; Once the chest tube air-leak resolved the chest
tubes were removed on: [**2129-7-16**] Apical ant chest tube removed,
[**2129-7-18**] Post Apical Chest tube removed. The [**2129-7-19**] the
basilar chest tube was removed. She was followed by serial
chest films. The right pneumothorax resolved. Small bilateral
lower lobe effusion
and atelectasis remain.
Cardiac: She was in sinus rhythm throughout. Her cardiac
medications were restarted immediately. Plavix was restarted on
[**2129-7-17**].
GI: no issues.
Endocrine: She continued on insulin throughout her hospital
stay. The metformin was restarted once her PO intake improved.
FEN: Her lytes were repleted as needed. Tolerated a diabetic
diet.
Pain: An epidural was placed preoperative and managed my the
acute pain service. Immediately postoperatively the epidural was
stopped secondary to hypotension. She converted to a Dilaudid
PCA with good control then to PO pain meds.
Disposition: She was seen by physical therapy who deemed her
safe for home. She was discharged with VNA and home oxygen 1
Liter nasal cannula with ambulation.

LIVER/GALLBLADDER US WITH DOPPLERS ([**2124-6-27**]):
1. Patent TIPS. No ascites.
2. Borderline splenomegaly.
3. Limited assessment of the liver, but it is coarsened in
echotexture
compatible with known cirrhosis.
EGD ([**2124-6-26**], prelim):
-Esophagus: 2 cords of grade I varices were seen in the lower
third of the esophagus. The varices were not bleeding.
-Stomach: A marginal ulcer was seen on the jejunal side of the
gastro-jejunal anastamosis. The ulcer was 1cm in diameter. There
was some exudate that was washed off. There were a few pigmented
spots but no visible vessel or clot. There was some minimal
contact bleeding from the tissue at the edge of the ulcer, but
no active bleeding noted from the ulcer and no blood seen in the
stomach pouch or intestine.
-Duodenum: Normal duodenum.
-Other findings: Normal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy noted
consistent with known history
-IMPRESSION: Varices at the lower third of the esophagus. A
marginal ulcer was seen on the jejunal side of the
gastro-jejunal anastamosis. The ulcer was 1cm in diameter. There
was some exudate that was washed off. There were a few pigmented
spots but no visible vessel or clot. There was some minimal
contact bleeding from the tissue at the edge of the ulcer, but
no active bleeding noted from the ulcer and no blood seen in the
stomach pouch or intestine. Normal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
anatomy noted consistent with known history. Otherwise normal
EGD to third part of the duodenum
-RECOMMENDATIONS: Prilosec 40mg [**Hospital1 **]. Check H. pylori antibody.
Take Carafate suspension 2 grams twice a day. The source of
bleeding was from the marginal ulcer. Given its endoscopic
appearance it is a low risk to re-bleed. Avoid alcohol and
smoking.
RUQ u/s [**6-27**]: 1. Patent TIPS. No ascites. 2. Borderline
splenomegaly. 3. Limited assessment of the liver, but it is

Brief Hospital Course:
62 yo F with h/o EtOH cirrhosis c/b portal HTN and bleeding
varices, s/p TIPS ([**2123**]) and h/o ischemic bowel s/p right
colectomy and ileostomy reversal ([**2120**]), who recently relapsed
with drinking who presented with upper GI bleed.
#GI BLEED: Ms. [**Known lastname 2643**] was admitted to the MICU where she had an
emergent EGD for suspicion of upper GI bleed. EGD showed a 1cm
non-bleeding marginal ulcer at the site of the gastro-jejunal
anastomasis from her prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as the most
likely cause of her GI bleed. Given h/o portal hypertensive
gastropathy and variceal bleeds, she had RUQ abdominal
ultrasound which showed that TIPS was patent with no
ascites/splenomegaly. She received 4 units of blood total, and
her HCT bumped from 20 to 26 following transfusion. She had one
more episode of black stool and large BRBPR while in the MICU on
HD #2, no further episodes after this. She initially received
Octreotide on admission, this was DC'd once lower suspicion for
variceal bleed. EGD showed nonbleeding ulcer at GJ anastomosis
which was likely source of bleed. She was initially on
pantoprazole gtt, later switched to pantoprazole 40mg IV BID and
Carafate susp 2gm [**Hospital1 **]. She also received 3-day course of
Ceftriaxone for SBP prophylaxis. Her home spironolactone and
Lasix were held in MICU in setting of GI bleed. Heparin
prophylaxis was held in MICU given recent GI bleed. Patient was
then transferred to the floor where her hct remained stable. On
discharge, she will take 3 days of Cipro 500mg [**Hospital1 **] for SBP
prophylaxis, will continue carafate, increase her home PPI dose
from qd to [**Hospital1 **]. She will have labs re-checked and faxed to
liver clinic on [**2124-7-3**] to assure her hct remains stable.
.
# ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS: The patient's home furosemide,
spironolactone were held in setting of GI bleed. Her lactulose
was held in MICU per her preference.
.
#ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL: At admission to the MICU, the patient
reported a fear of going into alcohol withdrawal even though her
last drink was just on the morning of her admission. The patient
did not score per CIWA while in MICU, so it was discontinued.
She received her home folate, multivitamins, and thiamine.
Patient was interested in outpt program to stop drinking. Spoke
with social work.
.
#THROMBOCYTOPENIA: The patient's platelet count at admission was
92 and decreased to 58 on [**2124-6-28**]. The thrombocytopenia could be
secondary to decreased production by a hypocellular bone marrow
as seen in cirrhosis, but is most likely dilutional given the
patient's transfusion with several units of pRBCs.
.
#ACID-BASE DISTURBANCE: The patient had an initial AG of 21. Her
AG metabolic acidosis could be secondary to alcoholic or
starvation ketoacidosis. Based on her initial blood gas, the
patient also had a primary respiratory alkalosis, likely
secondary to hyperventilation from her anxiety. She also had a
primary metabolic alkalosis, likely secondary to volume
contraction alkalosis given her GI bleed. Her AG closed over
the course of her hospitalization.
.
#ANXIETY: Ms. [**Known lastname 2643**] received Lorazepam prn for her anxiety.

Brief Hospital Course:
81 yo male, initially admitted for SOB/CHF exacerbation;
hospital course discussed by problem.
# Dyspnea- he had been ruled out for a PE by CTA done in the ED.
The patient appeared to fluid overloaded in likely CHF
exacerbation by exam and by CXR. The patient was diuresed
effectively with IV Lasix. He also had a troponin leak up to
.06, peak CK in 300's. An echo was done which showed global
hypokinesis and an EF of 15%. Cardiology was consulted, and the
patient underwent a P-MIBI, which revealed LV enlargement and a
mild, fixed defect of inferior wall. Cardiac cath was discussed
with and subsequently performed on the patient, which
demonstrated no CAD, but severely depressed LVEF. The patient's
ACE was increased, and a statin, low-dose beta-blocker, and
Lasix were initiated, with an improvement in his symptoms.
Given the patient's low EF, a EP consult was obtained for
possible ICD placement. Prior to pacer/ICD placement, the
patient underwent a TEE to evaluate for possible atrial
thrombus, none was found.
.
On [**1-11**], the patient had a [**Hospital1 **]-ventricular pacemaker and ICD
placed, but EP studies on [**1-13**] showed that the RV lead was not
in the correct position. The patient had been started on
anticoagulation for Afib/flutter, so FFP was given to reverse
his INR in preparation for EP re-positioning of RV lead.
However, the patient became acutely SOB and hypertensive while
in EP lab. The patient was intubated and given 40 mg IV Lasix,
and nitroglycerin and the EP procedure was completed. He was
then transferred from to the CCU for CHF and ventilator
management.
.
While in the CCU, the patient the patient became tachy and
hypotensive, required dopamine for 24 hours to maintain
pressure. Cardiac enzymes were repeated, and an echo was
repeated to rule out tamponade. The patient improved with
aggressive diuresis, was successfully weaned off pressors and
extubated. Although the patient had one temperature spike
during the CCU, no infectious source was found, and he received
48 hours of empiric antibiotics following the EP procedure. The
patient was transferred back to the medicine floor and remained
hemodynamically stable and afebrile, with no further episodes of
chest pain or shortness of breath.
.
# CHB- his pacemaker was upgraded to dual chamber [**Hospital1 **]-ventricular
pacer along with the ICD. He will be followed in the device
clinic, with his first appointment on [**2147-1-20**].
.
# h/o a-fib/aflutter- He was rate controlled with Lopressor,
titrated up to a dose of 25 mg [**Hospital1 **], given that his blood
pressure tolerates this. He was also started on Coumadin,
initially mg, titrated down to 2.5 mg every evening. INR
monitoring will be required on a daily basis to ensure correct
dosing for a target range of 2.0-3.0
.
# L upper extremity edema- Following his stay in the CCU, the
patient's LUE was noted to be edematous and an ultrasound was
obtained which confirmed a DVT. The patient was already on
Coumadin, but a heparin drip was started as his INR at that time
was subtherapuetic.
.
# hypothyroidism- He was continued on his current dose of
Levoxyl, and thyroid studies were done which showed an elevated
TSH and low free T3, however no medication changes were made
during this acute exacerbation of CHF.
.
# Hypertension- The patient's blood pressure remained well
controlled following the procedure and his stay in the CCU. A
number of new medications (beta blocker, Lasix, ACE increase)
were started to help optimize his cardiac health, however, these
may need to be tailored to prevent hypotension. The patient was
ruled out for both tamponade and infection as potential causes
of hypotension.
.
# FEN- The patient was placed on fluid restriction of 1.5L per
day and tolerated a low sodium/cardiac diet well. His
electrolytes were carefully monitored in the setting of
diuresis, with occasional K+/Mg repletion.
.
The patient was evaluated by physical therapy, who recommended
the patient be admitted to a rehab facility. This was discussed
with both the patient and his family, including his HCP; and he
was subsequently discharged to [**Hospital 100**] Rehab for further
rehabilitation. The patient will need follow-up with the
EP/device clinic as described above.

LABORATORIES: White count 18.5, hematocrit 38.2, platelets
505. Sodium 140, potassium 4.1, chloride 101, bicarb 21, BUN
22, creatinine 1.0, glucose 149. Arterial blood gas: 7.36,
41, 233.
CHEST X-RAY: Rotated, ETT in good position, no
cardiopulmonary infiltrates.
HEAD CT SCAN: No hemorrhage.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: Normal sinus rhythm at 118 beats per
minute, left axis deviation, normal intervals, Q waves in V1
through V2, no change from [**2103**].
Echocardiogram from [**2104-4-4**]: Ejection fraction of 40%,
mild-to-moderate hypokinesis in the anteroseptal and apical
walls, RV normal.
EGD from [**2108-3-5**]: Hiatal hernia, grade II esophagitis,
Barrett's.
C-scope from [**2108-3-5**] shows grade I internal
hemorrhoids.
HOSPITAL COURSE: In short, this is a 78-year-old female with
a history of severe Parkinson's, multiple falls, who presents
status post choking. Patient most likely had
temporary-complete airway obstruction and possible pulseless
electrical activity. The patient was emergently intubated
and required no defibrillation.
1. Pulmonary: The patient has no known lung disease.
Because of her episode and fear of any residual foreign
objects, the patient was bronched. This revealed no evidence
of upper airway obstruction. Patient's vent was changed from
SIMV to CPAP with pressure support. She was taking good
ventilations with very little sedation.
The patient was noted to have very thigh secretions on
suctioning. There was a question of aspiration pneumonia
especially given elevated white count. Discussion took place
with the daughter, who is the proxy. Decision was made to
extubate the patient despite the large volume of secretions.
The daughter was well aware of the risks, benefits. If the
patient remained intubated, she would be much more likely to
develop vent-acquired pneumonia. If she was extubated, there
was a significant risk of drowning in secretions.
The patient's daughter chose the latter choice, according to
her what she thought her mother would want. There was no
plan to reintubate once extubated. Patient was extubated on
[**2109-2-19**]. Following extubation, the patient became
tachypneic and uncomfortable. Patient's comfort was
maximized with Morphine drip. Because of the revised goals,
the patient was transferred to the floor.
The following day, she was transferred to hospice care.
2. Heme: The patient was noted to have a hematocrit drop
from 38.2 to 30.3. She was also having coffee-grounds
suctioned. Her hematocrit further decreased to 25. The
patient was treated with 2 units of packed red blood cells.
Her hematocrit came up to 32. The patient had no further
coffee-grounds, and he hematocrit stabilized. No nasogastric
lavage was performed. Hematocrit came up to 32 and remains
stable.
3. Infectious Disease: The patient developed a fever,
although her white count came down. Fever was up to 101.3.
Blood cultures and urine cultures were negative. Chest x-ray
showed no sign of infiltrate. No antibiotics were initiated.
4. Neurologic: Patient has known severe Parkinson's on
Sinemet. Although despite the lateral gaze deviation, the
patient's head CT scan was negative.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Carbidopa/levodopa 25/100, one tablet po tid.
2. Morphine prn.
3. Lansoprazole.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: The patient is discharged to hospice
care. She is to followup with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1266**] as needed.
Patient's other medications can be restarted according to the
wishes of the family and PCP.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Respiratory arrest status post foreign object removal.
2. Possible pulseless electrical arrest secondary to complete
airway obstruction.
3. Upper gastrointestinal bleed, status post 2 units of
packed red blood cells.
4. Parkinson's.

.
L hip/pelvis XRay: There is an intramedullary rod in the left
femur with a single proximal screw. There is also varus
angulation and deformity seen of the femoral head and neck and
due to difficulty in positioning patient, this area is not fully
evaluated; however, there is likely a fracture involving the
femoral neck on the left side. Dystrophic calcifications are
identified. There are degenerative changes and joint
calcifications involving the right hip. Degenerative changes of
the lower lumbar spine are identified.
.
L femur Xray: 1. As seen earlier today, there is an acute
fracture of the left femoral neck.
2. The spiral fracture of the left femoral shaft is evaluated,
and there is no change in fracture fragment position or hardware
appearance compared to [**2102-4-20**]. There remains some
angulation of the mid aspect of the more proximal to distal
interlocking screws.
.
ECHO [**2102-6-12**]
The left atrium is moderately dilated. No left atrial
mass/thrombus seen (best
excluded by transesophageal echocardiography). The right atrium
is moderately dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and
cavity size are normal. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a
focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50%).
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic
stenosis is not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The
mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral
valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There
is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Low normal left ventricular systolic function
without definite
regional dysfunction. Mild mitral regurgitation. Pulmonary
artery systolic
hypertension.
.
CT HEAD done on [**2102-6-14**] for acute delirium
There is no intracranial hemorrhage, shift of normally midline
structures, or evidence of acute major vascular territorial
infarct. [**Doctor Last Name **]-white matter differentiation is preserved.
Surrounding osseous structures are unremarkable. The imaged
portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well
aerated.
IMPRESSION: No intracranial hemorrhage.
.
CXR ([**2102-6-16**]):
PA and lateral views of the chest are obtained. Midline
sternotomy wires are again noted. There is volume loss in the
right lung, with apical pleural thickening. Linear atelectasis
versus scar is noted in the right mid lung. Retrocardiac
atelectasis is noted, which appears slightly increased from
prior study. The heart is enlarged. There is no pneumothorax.
Brief Hospital Course:
# Hip fracture: pt had removal of previous hardware and
plating/hemiarthroplasty - involved procedure. He has been
evaluated by PT and progressed to functional mobility.
.
#Hypotension: after surgery pt had some episodes of hypotension,
likely secondary to blood loss during surgery and agressive
diuresis. We held his diuretic, gave his blood transfusions and
his blood pressures have been stable in the 90's systolic.
.
#CHF: ECHO revealed LVEF 50% His lungs always sounded wet on
auscultation. His BP dropped after surgery due to aggressive
diuresis and blood loss. His lasix has been held, with no
evidence of worsening CHF on chest x-ray ([**2102-6-16**]). He is
maintaining his sats on 2L. He is very sensitive to the lasix as
he drops his pressure. His rate was better controlled after
starting the Amiodarone. This also helped his blood pressure.
.
# CAD: extensive history but stable during this hospitalization.
Continued ASA, beta blocker, statin.
.
# COPD: former smoker, on inhalers at home without home O2
currently. Has been 80's to low 90's here. We continued his
nebulizer treatments and albuterol while in the hospital. We
titrated his O2 as needed, with a goal of O2 sat 90-93%. He has
been maintaining this O2 on 2L nasal cannula.
.
#Afib: Afib has been stable over this hospitalization. Pt has a
hx of being difficult to convert. His rate has been well
controlled on amiodarone and metoprolol.
.
# Agitation, delirium: Initially a problem in the immediate
post-surgical period, at which time it was controlled with pain
management and Haloperidol PRN. Behavior however improved
drastically and patient is very cooperative and pleasant without
any intervention.
.
# Blood Loss: Baseline Hct near 28. He has some bleeding in the
postoperative period from his surgical wound. He got blood
transfusion. His HCT was stable for more than a week prior to
discharge. Surgical wound was well healed and no blood is seen
on bandage.
.
#Hypothyroidism: We continued the pt on his synthroid.
.
#Prophylaxis: He has been maintained on 30 lovenox daily
(secondary to his kidney function) and was recently restarted on
his home dose of Coumadin. His INR has been responding. Will
need to stop lovenox after INR between [**1-7**]. His INR needs to be
monitored closely due to the interaction with Amiodarone.

[**2203-8-14**] Chest CT :
1. Status post tracheobronchoplasty. ET tube in place with fluid
within the distal trachea. Persistent narrowing of the central
airways.
2. Since [**2203-8-1**], new large right, and moderate left
loculated pleural effusions.
3. New diffuse bilateral ground glass opacities with prominent
pulmonary
vasculature, likely edema.
4. Bilateral lower lobe opacities, likely atelectasis, cannot
exclude
infection.
5. Emphysema.
6. Prior granulomatous disease.
[**2203-8-18**] Bilat lower ext duplex :
No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in either leg.
[**2203-8-23**] Chest CT :
1. Extensive bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities with
associated
bibasilar severe atelectasis and small pleural effusions along
with the severe tracheobronchial stenosis suggest that a
combination of upper airway obstruction, pulmonary edema,
atelectasis, and likely a concurrent infectious process might be
contributing to the patient's difficulty to wean off the vent.
2. Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, not significantly changed
compared with prior studies.
[**2203-8-29**] CXR :
In comparison with the study of [**8-27**], the monitoring and support
devices remain in place. Continued enlargement of the cardiac
silhouette with indistinct pulmonary vessels and bilateral areas
of pulmonary opacification, consistent with pulmonary edema and
multifocal pneumonia.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 108993**] is a 62 year old admitted for tracheobronchomalacia
on whom we performed tracheobronchoplasty with posterior
splinting on [**2203-8-3**]. The procedure went without
complications. Post-operatively in the PACU he failed to
extubate and was transferred to the trauma ICU. A chest xray at
the time showed that the endotracheal tube ended 3.9cm above
carina. The right chest tube was in place. There was only mild
pulmonary edema, no pneumothorax, and bibasilar atelectasis. At
the time he developed low urine output and received a 500 mL
bolus. He was found to have persistent metabolic acidosis.
On POD1, his chest tube was set to waterseal. A second attempt
was made to extubate. He became hypoxic with oxygen saturations
at 88%, so he was placed to CPAP. Due to respiratory distress,
however, he required reintubation. At the time, a chest xray
revealed subcutaneous emphysema tracking along the anterior
chest wall and a pneumothorax. The chest tube was placed back
onto -20 cm H2O suction.
On POD2, his creatinine was elevated to 2.6. A FeNa was 0.2%
and FeUrea was 31.8%. The patient was on furosemide at the
time, so intrinsic renal failure was suspected given the FeUrea
as FeNa is unreliable in patients on furosemide. He was put on
D5 normal saline, and tube feeds were started via an orogastric
tube. A chest xray at the time reveals a stable pneumothorax.
A PICC line was placed for additional access.
On POD3, the pleurovac was found to have a systems leak and was
replaced. Tube feeds were advanced every 6 hours. FeUrea was
43.3, a non-diagnostic value. Creatinine was stable at 2. A
sputum culture from POD1 grew our rare gram negative rods.
On POD4, to optimize respiratory status, furosemide was
continued and a 60mg IV dose administered. Mr. [**Known lastname 108993**] was
started on levofloxacin and piperacillin/tazobactam at this time
too because of the cultures. He was also having hypertension,
and his metoprolol was increased from twice daily to thrice
daily. We felt at this time the chest tube was working against
the patient's ability to exhale efficiently, so we removed the
chest tube. He developed a fever or 102.7 and so cultures were
drawn.
On POD5, the sputum cultures grew out pansensitive pseudomonas
aeruginosa. Because of persistent hypertension with systolic
blood pressures reaching the 190s, a labetalol drip was started
and hydralazine started, which achieved better control. His
FiO2 was increased from 40% to 60% due to low saturations of
80%.
On POD6, he pass a spontaneous breathing trial on 0 and 5
inspiratory pressure support settings; however, after an
extubation trial he became hypoxic at 5 minutes, desatting to
70%. He also became tachypnic and so he was reintubated. To
optimize his ventilatory status, a fluid deficit was desired.
To achieve it, his drips were concentrated. His cumulative
balance that day was -500 mL.
On POD7, a new left subclavian line was placed to begin a
furosemide drip. Inhaled steroids were also added in an effort
to optimize respiratory status.
On POD8, sensitivities came back on the pseudomonas cultures,
and vancomycin was discontinued. Ciprofloxacin was changed to
PO. Fluid balance was -1.6L.
On POD9, copious secretions were noted and repeat sputum
cultures obtained. Fluid balance was -2.4L.
On POD10, he developed a WBC of 18 and low grade temperatures,
so he was pan-cultured. To double cover pseudomonas,
piperacillin/tazobactam was started. The U/A was not conclusive
for infection.
On POD 11, WBC continued to rise to 21. A CT of the chest was
performed to search a source that was potentially drainable. A
large right pleural effusion was found as well as a smaller,
left-sided loculated effusion. His PICC was draining purulent
materal, and a PICC culture was sent but ultimately grew out
nothing (final). His bronchoalveolar lavage culture was 2+PMNs,
and grew out pseudomonas again.
On POD12/0, a tracheostomy was performed in the OR. The
operation went without complications, and post-operatively the
patient was transferred directly to the trauma ICU. A Dobhoff
tube was placed, and a thoracentesis of the pleural effusion was
performed with cultures sent. No organisms were isolated.
On POD13/1, loose stools prompted a C. diff toxin assay, which
was negative. He had increased hypertension, so labetalol IV
was given. His sedation medication, lorazepam, was switched to
propofol in an effort to reduce his hypertension. A blood gas
revealed respiratory alkalosis.
On POD14/2, patient was foudn to have increased abdominal
distention, and a KUB showed ileus. NGT was placed to low
continuous suction, tube feeds held. Methylnaltrexone, a
mu-opioid antagonist, was trialed with no effect. He was found
also on CXR to have a R>L pleural effusion, for which
interventional pulmonology was consulted for pigtail placement.
He continued to be diuresed, receiving 40 mg furosemide IV. He
was also febrile to 101.3 and so he was pan-cultured. Although
the urine, pleural fluid, and blood cultures were negative, the
sputum culture grew out serratia marcesens and pseudomonal
aeruginosa.
On POD15/3, bronchoscopy was performed for respiratory
secretions. He was hypertensive and started on a labetalol
drip. Based on ID recommendations, he was switched to cefepime.
At this time, the source of leukocytosis was unclear but it was
suggested the mesh may be colonized with pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The pulmonology team, who had been consulted for failure to
extubate, felt a wise course would be to permit lung rest on the
ventilator and allow the pneumonia to pass prior to subsequent
extubation attempts. So, he remained on the ventilator on
POD16/4, and that day was otherwise unremarkable.
On POD17/5, the pigtail catheter was removed; however, due to
high PEEP requirements, the trauma ICU was unable to attempt
trach mask. In an effort for further diuresis, on POD18/6 the
tube feeds were concentrated. Also he was switched to D5 1/2NS
for hypernatremia. Despite having been found to have persistent
copious secretions, Mr. [**Known lastname 108993**] was able to be weaned to CPAP
[**1-16**]. He self-discontinued his arterial line, which was
replaced.
On POD19/7, his mental status continued to improve, and bowel
sounds were noted. Tube feeds were continued at goal.
On POD20/8, his mental status continued to improve and he was
able to answer questions. Despite SaO2>95%, he was having
episodes of agitation, which improved with lorazepam. He was
started on inhaled tobramycin for double-coverage of
pseudomonas. A repeat CT chest did not show an appreciable
drainable effusion. He was switched back to assist control for
increased tachypnea despite normal oxygen saturations.
On POD21/9 he had a J tube placed and tube feedings were
continued which were well tolerated. His insulin requirements
were graduaklly decreasing as his infection was controlled and
his insulin was adjusted appropriately.
Over the last few days his WBC had decreased nicely to the 14
range and he remains afebrile on Cefepine ( started [**2203-8-19**]) and
inhaled Tobra (started [**2203-8-23**]). His antibiotics should continue
thru [**2203-9-14**]. His secretions have decreased since his last
bronchoscopy on [**2203-8-25**]. There was no exposed mesh or purulence
noted. He has been weaning better with good CPAP trials and
remains on O2 at 50% with IPS and PEEP both at 8 cm.
He also has been evaluated by the Physical Therapy service
closely and he needs continued encouragement and maximum
assistance to increase his mobility and evantually be more
independent. After a long, complicated course, he was
discharged to rehab of [**2203-8-29**] and will follow up with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] in 2 weeks.

History of Present Illness:
Briefly patient is a 34 yo male with PMH of HTN is admitted for
fevers, myalgias, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, cough
("[**Location (un) 2452**]" sputum), diminished appetite, weight loss that began
about 10 days ago. Reports his niece had the flu recently, but
has had no other sick contacts. Pt is not a health care worker
and has recent travel history. He was seen at the [**Hospital **]
clinic and had a viral swab sent, which showed he was negative
for influenza. He was then seen in the [**Hospital1 18**] ED on [**2106-6-24**],
where he received IV fluids and supportive care and discharged
home with diagnosis of viral syndrome. He continued to have
symptoms, including sudden hearing loss (now resolved), and
re-presented to the ED on [**2106-6-26**].
.
In the ED, he was febrile to 102.7F. His other VS- HR 102, BP
143/94, SaO2 90% RA --> 95% 3L NC. CXR was described as RML
infiltrate, for which he received Lovoflox x1 and 2L NS. He was
admitted to the floor and treated initially with Ceftriaxone and
Azithromycin. He continued to have low-grade temps, and coverage
was broadened to include Vancomycin given concern for
post-influenza pneumonia. He was also having episodes of
tachycardia and hypotension, for which he received approximately
3.5L of IVF in total. The RN was called overnight for
lightheadedness and he was found to be satting in the mid-80s on
3L NC, which improved to mid-90s on NRB. ABG was 7.46/33/72. He
began to cough pink frothy sputum and was transferred to MICU.
.
In the MICU, pt was placed on nonrebreather mask and IV
antibiotics were continued. A trial of lasix was administered
which helped improve some of the symptoms. Patient received an
echocardiogram which showed normal cardiac function. Pt was
weaned off of the mask and was saturating 96% on 6L of oxygen.
Pt was found to be negative for influenza A and B, C diff, PCP,
O&P, campylobacter, and legionella. Also negative for HIV.
.

Initially, the patient was admitted with the differential
diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia versus bacterial supreinfection
of a viral respiratory infection. He was admitted to the floor
and treated initially with Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin. He
continued to have low-grade temps, and was broadened to include
Vancomycin given concern for post-influenza pneumonia. He was
also having episodes of tachycardia and hypotension, for which
he received approximately 3.5L of IVF in total. The RN was
called overnight for lightheadedness and he was found to be
satting in the mid-80s on 3L NC, which improved to mid-90s on
NRB. ABG was 7.46/33/72. He began to cough pink frothy sputum.
At that point, he was transferred to the MICU.
In the MICU, it was felt that the patient's CXR was consistent
with ARDs or volume overload. It was felt that the patient's
presentation was concerning for staph pneumonia after a viral
infection, compounded by volume overload/capillary leak. HIV
testing was done and was negative. Also, the legionella urinary
antigen and the DFA for influenza A and B were both negative.
The patient was continued on broad spectrum coverage, including
vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin for community acquired
pneumonia. He was also given lasix IV. The patient's dyspnea
improved over two days in the ICU. Also, his O2 requirements
were able to be weaned down slowly while maintaining his O2
sats. Prior to the patient's discharge from the MICU, a rapid
respiratory viral screen/culture was sent- negative for
Adenovirus, Influenza A & B, Parainfluenza type
1,2 & 3, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
On transfer back to medicine floor, patient remained stable. He
was weaned off oxygen and denied any shortness of breath or
dyspnea on exertion. He remained afebrile and reported good PO
intake and increasing energy level. No longer complained of
fatigue. He was sent home with a script for levofloxacin and
linezolid . However, his insurance did not cover the levoquin
so we substituted cefpodoxime 200mg PO BID and azithromycin
250mg PO daily x 2 days for levoquin to finish his abx course.
2. Hyponatremia -
It was felt that this was likely hypovolemic hyponatremia from
dehydration, as his urine Na was <10 and he was hypovolemic on
exam. Additionally, he was on a thiazide diuretic at home. His
HCTZ was held. His hyponatremia resolved after he was given
fluids. Hyponatremia was not an issue upon discharge from the
medicine floor.
3. Hypertension -
The patient had a history of hypertension. The patient's HCTZ
was held. Additionally, his EKG was consistent with RVH. An
echo was ordered and was within normal limits. Patient was
restarted on his HCTZ upon discharge.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital on [**6-26**] with fevers, body
aches, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, cough diminished
appetite, weight loss and shortness of breath. While here you
required oxygen therapy to keep your levels high. You were
transferred to the ICU for management of your low oxygen levels
and fevers. You received some diuretics to clear some fluid off
your lungs and antibiotics for your infection. You were
stabilized in the ICU and transferred back to the floor on [**7-1**].
Since you were on the floor, you did not have any fevers and
eventually were oxygenating very well on room air (without any
supplemental oxygen). On discharge, you were comfortable and
stable.
The following medication changes were made:
1. Your blood pressure medicine hydrochrolothiazide was held
because you had several low blood pressure measurements. We are
restarting you on a reduced dosage: Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg,
by mouth, daily.
2. Continue your levaquin and linezolid through Sunday [**2106-7-4**]

Brief Hospital Course:
This patient was admitted to the Plastic Surgery service after
sustaining a traumatic left arm injury when involved in a motor
vehicle accident in [**State 4488**] on [**2181-12-12**].
.
Hospital day #1~[**2181-12-12**]
Patient was admitted to the Emergency Department and underwent
emergent body imaging upon arrival.
.
Hospital day #2~[**2181-12-13**]
Patient to the operating room with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 81**] for
irrigation and debridement of degloving wound left forearm,
wound exploration of left forearm, revision and repair
laceration, left radial artery, revision and repair laceration
left ulnar artery with interposition vein graft left foot, open
repair of flexor digitorum superficialis left ring finger, open
repair of flexor digitorum superficiality left
small finger, open carpal tunnel release, wound VAC dressing
placement and external fixation left ulna and radial fractures.
Pt was admitted to ICU for close monitoring and to check left
hand pulses by pulse oximetry. A heparin drip was started and
patient was started on aspirin to maintain patency of blood flow
to left upper extremity. Patient was started on gentamicin and
unasyn for broad empiric coverage. He was started on dilaudid
PCA for pain control but this provided insufficient pain control
for the patient so the Acute Pain Service (APS) was consulted
and a left axillary block was provided.
.
Hospital day #3~[**2181-12-14**]
Patient received 2units of PRBCs today for a hematocrit drop to
17.9 (29.4 on admission). Pain control continued to be an issue
so the axillary block and the PCA doses were increased by APS.
Neurontin was also added to pain regimen and ativan was given
PRN for periods of anxiety. Patient had symptoms of oral thrush
and was given Nystatin swish and swallow.
.
Hospital day #4~[**2181-12-15**]
Patient had a planned procedure in the Operating room with Dr.

reduction and internal fixation left proximal radius fracture,
Over reduction internal fixation left distal ulna fracture,
Adjustment of external fixator, and wound VAC dressing change.
Patient continued on the dilaudid PCA, left axillary block and
neurontin for pain control. He continued with heparin drip and
daily aspirin to maintain patency of blood supply to left upper
extremity. Patient continued on unasyn.
.
Hospital day #5 [**2181-12-16**]:
Patient having increased difficulty with pain today so APS
service added a Ketamine infusion, discontinued the axillary
block and started a lumbar plexus infusion with Ropivacaine
instead. Patient's pain came under good control.
.
Hospital day #6 [**2181-12-17**]
Wound VAC therapy to left forearm continued. Patient was
Transferred from ICU to floor today.
.
Hospital day #7 [**2181-12-18**]
Pain management regimen continued guided by APS. Patient
reported diminished relief of pain with dilaudid PCA so he was
changed to Morphine PCA and his Ketamine dose was increased.
Patient was prepped for operating room in the morning for
closure of his left arm wounds.
.
Hospital day #8 [**2181-12-19**]
Patient to operating room today with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 81**] for open
reduction and internal fixation of comminuted multi-fragment
fracture left distal radius, open reduction internal fixation of
left proximal ulnar shaft fracture, closed reduction and
percutaneous pin fixation of left distal radial ulnar joint,
removal of external fixator left forearm and irrigation and
debridement of wound left forearm. After this procedure, Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) **] [**Name (STitle) 11867**] began the final procedure, this admission, for
reconstruction of the left forearm; Extensive debridement,
reconstruction left ulnar nerve gap with multi cable sural nerve
graft (approximately 9 cm), partial coverage of left forearm and
hand wound with anterolateral thigh flap from the right side
with
microvascular anastomosis, split-thickness skin grafting of
remaining left forearm
wound (greater than 100 cm2), and split-thickness skin grafting
less than 100 cm2 of right thigh donor site. Patient tolerated
the procedure well and was transferred to Post Anesthesia Care
Unit for recovery. A wound VAC was applied to skin graft sites
and flap checks were done, per protocol, to left forearm flap
site. Patient was continued on Morphine PCA, ketamine drip, and
neurontin post-procedure with good pain control noted. Patient
was continued on aspirin therapy. Patient was transferred to
the floor when recovery criteria were met.
.
Hospital day #9 [**2181-12-20**]
Patient had PICC placement to right arm today for ongoing IV
medications. APS recommended the discontinuation of morphine
PCA and restarted dilaudid PCA. Ketamine drip was continued and
patient was started on PO methadone. Neurontin was continued.
Unasyn was continued. Patient was started on clear liquids.
.
Hospital day #10 [**2181-12-21**]

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 732**] was transferred from an outside hospital presenting
with a myocardial infarction secondary to a large ventricular
septal defect. A Tandem heart was placed on arrival. Closure of
the lesion was unsucessfully attempted with a ventricular septal
defect closure device as the lesion was larger than the device.
An oxygenator was added to the tandem device in the setting of
worsening oxygenation. During transition to oxygenation the
patient's systolic blood pressure dropped to 10-40mmHg. The
cardiology team tried to percutaneously close the VSD but was
unsuccesful.
On [**6-12**] she underwent open closure of her ventricular septal
defect. Please see the operative note for details. In summary
she had:
1. Repair of postinfarct ventricular septal defect with a
pericardial onlay patch from the left ventricular side. Patch is
PeriGuard reference #[**Serial Number 88735**], lot #[**Telephone/Fax (5) 88736**].
2. Removal of patient from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
continuous circulatory support.
3. Open repair of right common femoral artery.
She tolerated the procedure well and was transferred in critical
but stable condition to the surgical intensive care unit on
multiple pressors and inotropes.
The patient was kept sedated to allow for diuresis in the
immediate post-op period. She was weaned from her pressors and
diuresed over several days and ultimately extubated, but her
respiratory status remained tenuous. Over the next several days
she continued to show slow improvement however on [**6-23**] the
patient developed became acutely hypotensive again requiring
pressors she also became anuric and required reintubation. A
repeat echo showed failure of the surgical VSD closure nad she
was brought to the cath lab for percutaneous closure
attempt-this time successfully.
The patient continued to have acute renal failure ultimately
requiring dialysis. She also developed a component of liver
failure w/elevated LFT's and TBili. An ultrasound showed a
distende gallbladder and a chole tube was placed by general
surgery on [**6-29**]. The patient remined intubated and critically
ill and the family decided to make the patient comfort measures
only, on [**7-3**] she expired at 9:35PM

Chief Complaint:
BRBPR
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Colonoscopy
Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 59F who hasn't seen a doctor in a number of
years and no known significant PMH who presents with BRBPR
starting this am. She reports feeling completely at her baseline
yesterday, with no blood noted in stool, no nausea/vomiting, no
lightheadedness, DOE, SOB, syncope. This am she took some
Metamucil, which she has been taking for the past few weeks for
mild constipation, and later in the morning felt an urge or
sensation as though she was going to have diarrhea. Her bowel
movement was very watery and bright red, but she did not have
lightheadedness, shortness of breath at this time. No abd pain
associated with this. She had another episode at home after
which she presented to the ED.
.
In the ED her vital signs included a BP of 162/86 and HR 82. She
had another episode of BRBPR. Rectal exam showed bright red
blood but no rectal fissures, masses, or external hemorrhoids.
NG lavage was negative. Her initial Hct was 30 but dropped to 22
after fluid resuscitation and the bloody bowel movement. She was
given 1U PRBC. Coags and LFTs were normal. GI was called and
recommended admitting to MICU for observation given the brisk
nature of the bleed and to do colonoscopy on Monday if she
remained stable. If she rebleeds, they recommeneded proceeding
to tagged red blood cell scan. Shortly after this she had
another bloody bowel movement and was thus sent to radiology for
a tagged RBC scan before coming to the MICU.
.
On review of systems, she has had no fevers or chills, abdominal
pain, nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss,
lightheadedness, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion,
presyncope/syncope. She has never had a colonoscopy before. Her
sister was diagnosed with [**First Name3 (LF) 499**] cancer in her 40s and was
treated with no recurrence to date (now in her 60s).

GI BLEEDING STUDY [**2105-2-7**]
INTERPRETATION: Following intravenous injection of autologous
red blood cells
labeled with Tc-[**Age over 90 **]m, blood flow and dynamic images of the
abdomen for minutes
were obtained. A left lateral view of the pelvis was also
obtained.
Blood flow images show normal opacification of the aorta and
iliac vessels
Dynamic blood pool images show no evidence for uptake within the
bowel to
suggest active bleeding.
IMPRESSION: No evidence for GI bleeding during the time of the
study.
.
CT HEAD W/ & W/O CONTRAST [**2105-2-9**] 3:31 PM
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of metastatic disease.
2. Mild chronic mucosal sinus disease in the right maxillary
sinus, and left sphenoid air cells.

CT ABD W&W/O C [**2105-2-9**] 3:30 PM
INDICATION: 59-year-old female admitted for gastrointestinal
bleeding with colonoscopy demonstrating a large 5-cm
circumferential sigmoid mass at the distal sigmoid [**Month/Day/Year 499**]. Please
evaluate for metastasis.
CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: Within the right lobe of the thyroid,
there is a 1.3 x 1.1 cm hypoattenuating nodule. No nodules are
identified within the left lobe. Aside from minor
hypoventilatory changes at the dependent portions of the lungs,
no nodule, opacity, or effusions are present. The heart is
grossly unremarkable without pericardial effusion. No axillary,
mediastinal, or hilar adenopathy is present. The major airways
are patent down to the subsegmental level.
CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: There is cholelithiasis without
evidence of acute cholecystitis. No lesions are detected within
the liver. The spleen, stomach, pancreas, adrenal glands are
unremarkable. There is a 1.6-cm hypoattenuating lesion within
the interpolar region of the left kidney. No free fluid or free
air is present within the abdomen. The abdominal large and small
bowel is grossly unremarkable.
CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: There is focal annular thickening
within the distal sigmoid [**Month/Day/Year 499**] with several regions of
projectile soft tissue masses suggesting extramural extension. A
focal region of hyperinhancement is detected centrally suggesing
a central ulceration. There are small lymph nodes within the
adjacent mesentery and along the [**Female First Name (un) 899**] the largest measuring 8 x 5
mm. Smaller lymph nodes are also detected along the left para-
aortic chain. At the level of the lower pole of the right kidney
there is a midline mesenteric lymph node (3:86) measuring 8 x 4
mm.
IMPRESSION:
1. Annular mass within the distal sigmoid [**Female First Name (un) 499**] with irregular
margin suggesting extramural extension. Several small (sub cm)
but suspicious lymph nodes surrounding and extending along the
[**Female First Name (un) 899**]. PET-CT could provide more accurate nodal evaluation.
2. 1.3 cm hypoattenuating nodule in the right lobe of the
thyroid. This finding should be further evaluated with
ultrasound.
3. Fibroid uterus.
4. Cholelithiasis.

.
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt presented to the MICU after having three episodes of painless
bleeding per rectum. She received one unit of PRBC's in the ED.
She received a tagged red blood cell study which failed to
demonstrate an active site of bleeding, and then she was
admitted to the MICU for observation. Her MICU course was
uncomplicated. Her vital signs were stable and she had no
further episodes of bleeding. She began her golytely prep and
was scoped by GI. The colonoscopy revealed...A single
pedunculated 1 cm non-bleeding polyp of benign appearance was
found in the sigmoid [**Doctor Last Name 499**] at 20cm. A single-piece polypectomy
was performed using a hot snare. The polyp was completely
removed.There was scant bleeding post polypectomy that was
controlled by thermal cauterization.
A single pedunculated 8 mm non-bleeding polyp of benign
appearance was found in the rectum. A single-piece polypectomy
was performed using a hot snare. The polyp was completely
removed but could not be retrieved.
An ulcerated , indurated and infiltrative circumferential mass
of malignant appearance measuring about 5cm was found at the
distal sigmoid [**Doctor Last Name 499**]. The mass caused a partial obstruction. The
scope could not traverse the lesion and the examination was
interrupted. Cold forceps biopsies were performed for histology
at the sigmoid [**Doctor Last Name 499**] mass.
Impression: Mass in the distal sigmoid [**Doctor Last Name 499**] (biopsy)
Polyp in the sigmoid [**Doctor Last Name 499**] at 20cm (polypectomy)
Polyp in the rectum (polypectomy)
She then went to the OR on [**2105-2-10**] for a Laparoscopic sigmoid
colectomy.
Post-op she did well without complications.
She was started on sips on POD 1 and her diet was advanced along
slowly. She was tolerating a regular diet at time of discharge.
She reported +flatus and + small BM.
She had good pain control. Her lap sites were C/D/I, abdomen
soft. She went home on POD 3.
Hypertension: She was started on HCTZ 12.5mg qd for BP
management. She will follow-up with her PCP for further
management.

Brief Hospital Course:
On arrival at [**Hospital1 18**] the patient was moving all extremities and
opened eyes to commands. Her initial clinical and radiographic
evaluation revealed the following injuries:
Fractures of C1, C8-C10 (transverse processes), T6 and T10
(vertebral bodies), multiple ribs bilaterally and right tibia
(closed).
Grade 2 liver laceration in segment V of the liver, with
intraperitoneal hematoma in gallbladder fossa and inferior edge
of the liver.
Fluid in the mesentery, anterior to the pancreas, surrounding
the SMV, concerning for mesenteric injury.
Bilateral pneumothoraces.
Small amount of pneumomediastinum.
She was intubated and bilateral chest tubes were placed, and she
was taken to the OR by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 363**] for placement of a halo vest.
She was admitted to the trauma ICU and followed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 2719**],
who repaired her tibia fracture with an ORIF.
She was monitored for alcohol withdrawal on a CIWA protocol and
was watched by a sitter until there were no concerns for
suicidality. She was followed by psychiatry while hospitalized
and continued to deny memory of the jumping event but denied
recent feelings of depression or suicidality. Ultimately it was
felt that her major psychiatric issue was alcohol dependence and
she was encouraged to join AA upon discharge, which she agreed
to do. She was cleared psychiatrically for rehab, with no
immediate concern for suicidality.
She was also followed by Physical Therapy, Social Work and a
case manager while hospitalized.

Chief Complaint:
Common Bile Duct Injury
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Exploratory laparotomy
Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.
History of Present Illness:
80-year-old
female who underwent an open cholecystectomy that was
complicated by development of a complete transection of the
common bile duct. At the time, the injury was recognized
intraoperatively and the distal bile duct was tied off as
well as the proximal bile duct and a T tube was placed in the
proximal portion of the biliary tree in communication with
the liver. The patient was allowed to recover from this
surgery and was in the process of being referred for
definitive evaluation when she presented with a malpositioned
T tube and abdominal pain. She was sent to our facility for
further evaluation. She underwent complete work-up including
placement of a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram in the
distal bile duct and now presents for definitive repair.

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was admitted to Surgical service for management of CBD
injury. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram demonstrated
dilated intrahepatic biliary duct and obstructed common hepatic
duct with contrast extravasation into a contained collection.
No opacification of common bile duct. An 8 French external
drainage catheter was placed and connected with a bag. She was
started on vanco, levo and flagyl. Blood cultures on admission
grew pan-sensitive ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS. She received IV
levaquin and po linezolid. A cardiac echo was done that did not
demonstrated vegetations. Pt was managed conservatively until
operation. She remained in the hospital until surgery.
Cardiology was consultation for preop eval. A p-mibi stress test
was done. Recommendations included improved bp control for which
lopresor was increased and norvasc was started. ASA was
recommended as well as reinstituting zocor.
CT A/P
1. Interval improvement in intrahepatic biliary dilatation,
status post catheter placement.
2. Significant improvement in perihepatic inflammatory process
centered in the hepatic flexure region.
3. Imaging findings are at least concerning for transection of
common bile duct.
.
P MIBI: Normal myocardial perfusion. Normal left ventricular
cavity size and
systolic function.
.
Echo:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic
function are
normal (LVEF>55%). Regional left ventricular wall motion is
normal.
3. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial
mitral
regurgitation is seen.
.
Pre-Op CXR:
Moderate enlargement of the cardiac silhouette is slightly more
severe consistent with mild cardiomegaly and/or pericardial
effusion. There is no pulmonary edema or congestion of vessels
in the lung or mediastinum to indicate clinically significant
cardiac decompensation. New linear opacities in the left lower
lung are due to atelectasis. Lungs are otherwise clear. There is
no pleural effusion or evidence of central adenopathy. Thoracic
aorta particularly at the arch, shows calcification but no
dilatation.
.
On [**2120-4-9**] she was taken to the OR by Dr.[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] for
exploratory laparotomy, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. She was
in satisfactory condition and was kept in the PACU for low UOP.
Pt was moved to the floor and low UOP continued. Pt was moved
to the SICU for closer hemodynamic monitoring (eg CVP) for
post-op hypovolemia. Pt was awake and oriented throughout. Pt
was transfused one unit pRBC. Pt responded to fluid boluses and
UOP improved.
POD 3 pt was moved back to the medical-surgical unit. Diet was
started, and supplements added. She complained on persistent
nausea, no appetite and vomiting after eating. Metformin, actos
and glyburide were held for possibility etiology of nausea,
vomiting and fluid retention. Insulin sliding scale was used and
[**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] consult was obtained. An EGD was performed that
demonstrated gastritis. Zantac was d/c'd and protonix was
increased to [**Hospital1 **] and maalox was administered with improvement in
appetite and dietary tolerance. Actos and glyburide were
restarted POD 5 pt had cholangiogram: contrast in the common
hepatic duct, right and left hepatic ducts and multiple
intrahepatic divisions as well as contrast in the jejunum. No
obstruction or stricture identified. No extraluminal contrast.
An abdominal CT was done on [**2120-4-18**] that demonstrated the
following: Stable appearance of the perihepatic inflammatory
process, involving the surgical bed, hepatic flexure, and
omentum. No organized abscess/fluid collection.
2) Interval decrease in size in the small fluid collection
adjacent to the pancreatic tail.
3) No evidence of bowel obstruction.
4) Right adrenal adenoma.
5) Probable tiny left lower lobe pulmonary nodule.
She required increased lopressor, hctz and ntg tp for bp control
for sbp's in range of 170/80-160/70. BP decreased on these meds
to range of 127/70. She was discharged home in stable condition,
tolerating a regular diet and ambulating independently.

History of Present Illness:
Mr [**Known lastname 22703**] is a 61M with a PMHx of AFib and non-ischemic
cardiomyopathy who has been transfered from [**Hospital1 18**]-[**Location (un) 620**] for
evaluation and management of his ongoing pulmonary issues. He
initially presented there in [**8-30**] with a cough productive of
yellow sputum and fevers to 101.5. He was treated for PNA and
discharged to home on a course of cefpodoxime and azithromycin.
On that admission he was found to be supratherapeutic on his
coumadin to an INR of 3.1 secondary to the antibiotics and
adjustments to his regimen were made for the duration of the
course. The patient states that he never really felt any better
and continued to have a productive cough, intermittent
hemoptysis and fatigue, though he did return to work. On [**10-16**]
he saw his PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) 1023**] felt that there was radiographic
improvement, but prescribed a course of clarithromycin and
steroids for persistent cough. Over the course of the night the
patient states that his cough was much worse and he went to the
[**Location (un) 620**] ED. He was admitted and started on Vanc and Zosyn. CT
showed a large loculated R pleural effusion as well as a new
nodule on the left (comp CCT [**3-29**]). Thoracentesis was performed
[**10-18**] and 200cc of bloody fluid was drawn and sent for analysis.
The decision was made to transfer him to our service for
possible surgical
management. The patient reports no history of trauma, no sick
contacts, no recent travel history, no history of exposure to
tuberculosis (last PPD 20 years ago--neg).

Chest CT w/contrast [**2152-10-19**]: FINDINGS: There is a loculated
right pleural effusion with resulting right lower lobe and right
middle lobe collapse. Minimal atelectasis in the left lower lobe
and linear atelectasis in the left upper lobe. There is an 11 mm
x 9 mm nodule in the left upper lobe (image 14, series 2). There
is an additional nodule in the left upper lobe measuring 10 mm x
6 mm (image 18, series 2). There is a right hilar mass 4.5 cm x
2.7 cm x 2 cm. There is resulting narrowing of the bronchus
intermedius and right middle lobe bronchus. There is thickening
of the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius. There is a
subcarinal lymph node measuring 8 mm x 13 mm. There are right
hilar lymph nodes measuring 15 mm x 18 mm.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 22703**] was admitted on [**2152-10-18**] for a persistent right
lower lobe effusion. He was continued on his antibiotics
Vancomycin, Zosyn and prednisone. On [**2152-10-19**] he had Thoracic
ultrasound showed a moderate-sized pleural effusion which was
visualized mostly at the posterior back of the hemothorax just
at the paraspinal area. The fusion seems loculated and not
free-flowing as the anterior part of the
hemothorax very tiny effusion could be visualized, which was
drained for 200 mL of serosanguineous effusion. A chest CT
w/contrast revealed a loculated right pleural effusion with
resulting right lower lobe and right middle lobe collapse. On
[**2152-10-20**] he was taken to the operating room for successful
Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and active
brushings and right video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery total
pulmonary decortication. He was extubated in the operating
room, monitored in the PACU prior to transfer to the floor. The
3 chest-tubes remained on suction x 48 hrs, a foley to gravity
and Dilaudid PCA for pain. On POD1-2 his diet was restarted,
the foley was removed and he voided without difficulty.
Aggressive pulmonary toilet and nebs were continued. Chest film
showed Significant decrease in right pleural effusion with
residual atelectasis. Right-sided chest tubes with no evidence
for pneumothorax. He was continued on Vancomycin until the
culture data back. On POD3 the chest-tube were placed to water
seal, chest film showed Patchy opacification of the right mid
and lower lobes with small-to-moderate right-sided pleural
effusion. The right anterior apical chest-tube was removed. On
POD4 the posterior apical chest tube was remove and the basilar
was placed to pneumostat. On POD5 the vancomycin and zosyn was
changed to amoxicillin x 14 days for STREPTOCOCCUS ANGINOSUS
(MILLERI) GROUP. His coumadin will be restarted. He was
followed by physical therapy and was discharged to [**Location (un) 582**] at
[**Location (un) 620**].

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 108169**] is a 43 year old woman with a history of auto-immune
hepatitis, s/p liver transplant with recurrent AIH. She recently
underwent balloon dilation of the IVC. Two days following the
procedure she presented with hypotension, syncope, emesis, and
bandemia. She has positive blood cultures from an outside
hospital.
.
#) Sepsis: She presented with hypotension and fevers. A central
line was placed and she was given Zosyn and Vancomycin in
addition to approximately 5 L of IV fluids. The blood cultures
from the outside hospital eventually grew. coag neg staph. Her
antibiotics were narrowed to vancomycin. She completed a seven
day course. She remained afebrile and hemodynamically stable on
the floor. The infection was thought to have occurred as a
result of instrumentation following the IVC dilation.
.
#) Elevated WBC: Her WBC began to increase one day after
stopping antibiotics. Obtained urine, blood, and CXR. Afebrile,
cultures did not show evidence for infection, and patient was
feeling well. As such, antibiotics were held and another course
was not re-started. WBC then downtrended.
.
#) UTI: She had a urinary infection with enterococcus suscepible
to vancomycin. She received a total of seven days treatment.
.
#) HRS: Following fluid resucitation she developed HRS. This was
treated with midodrine, albumin, and octreotide. Her creatinine
began to improve after several days. She maintained a good urine
output. With improved creatinine, she was transitioned back to
her home diuretic regimen and she put out multiple liters to
this over the first 2 days, then diuresis volumes tapered down.
.
#) Volume Status: Ms. [**Known lastname 108169**] [**Last Name (Titles) 108171**] has 4+ LE edema. She
underwent an IVC dilation to see if it would improve her edema.
She also had a pelvic ultrasound while admitted to see if a
cystic structure noted on previous imaging could be contributing
to her edema. However, this structure had resolved. Her
diuretics were held given hypotension and HRS. They were
restarted on [**3-7**]. She had 4-5 L negative daily over the first
two days. The increased edema caused much discomfort in her
abdomen and legs. With diuresis, discomfort improved and
ambulation became easier.
.
# Autoimmune hepatitis s/p liver transplant with
recurrence--stable.
Continued immunosuppression with Azathioprine, Cellcept,
Tacrolimus and Prednisone. Levels of tacrolimus were within the
therapeutic range. She met with social work during the admission
because she was having difficulty paying for medications. They
were able to provide her with a temporary supply while applying
for alternate health care coverage.
.
#) Depression: Continued home meds. She met with social work
while an inpatient. Cheerful on discharge. Discharged with SW
f/u and services at home (nursing, home safety eval, PT, social
work).
