Final Report
EXAM: CT of the head.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Patient with intracerebral hemorrhage, for
further
evaluation.
TECHNIQUE: Axial images of the head were obtained without
contrast. Following
this using departmental protocol CT angiography of the head was
acquired.
FINDINGS:
HEAD CT:
There is a large intracerebral hematoma identified in the right
temporal lobe
measuring 7 x 5 cm. The hematoma contains an intrinsic area of
fluid-fluid
level.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY OF THE HEAD:
CT angiography demonstrates elevation of the right middle
cerebral artery
secondary to mass effect from the hematoma. No abnormal vascular
structures
or aneurysm identified. There is no vascular occlusion seen.
There is no
evidence of dural sinus thrombosis seen.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY OF THE NECK:
CT angiography of the neck demonstrates normal appearances of
the carotid and
vertebral arteries without stenosis or occlusion. Both carotid
arteries
measure approximately 5 to 6 mm in the proximal and 4 mm in the
distal
cervical region. The patient is seen to have endotracheal
intubation.
Sternotomy sutures are seen in the partially visualized thorax.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large right temporal intraparenchymal hematoma with mild
surrounding edema
and mass effect on the right lateral ventricle.
2. No evidence of abnormal vascular structures or aneurysm on
the CTA of the
head. Displacement of the right middle cerebral artery is seen
secondary to
mass effect.

DIAGNOSIS:
Brain, "temporal lobe tissue", resection:
-Cortical [**Doctor Last Name 352**] and white matter with acute and subacute
hemorrhage and reactive change.
-No evidence of neoplasm, infection, or amyloid angiopathy is
detected.
Clinical: Subdural hematoma right. Specimen submitted: temporal
lobe tissue.
Gross: Multiple fragments of soft white brain tissue and blood
clot measuring 7 x 5.5 x 2.5 cm in aggregate. The majority of
the brain tissue and representative sections of blood clot are
submitted in cassettes A-B.
Brief Hospital Course:
55F with large temporal lobe hemorrhage with associated edema,
and 4mm MLS, mild subfalcine herniation. She was brought
emergently to the OR a right sided craniotomy for evacuation of
hematom. She was loaded with Dilantin and her BP was kept less
than 140. Her coagulopathy was reversed prior to the OR. On
POD#1 she was extubated and follow commands and was moving
everything symmetrically. A neurology consult was completed to
identify reason for bleed,they recommended a CTA head and neck
showed No evidence of abnormal vascular structures or aneurysm
on the CTA of the
head. Displacement of the right middle cerebral artery is seen
secondary to
mass effect. No evidence of occlusion or stenosis in the
arteries of the neck.
As the patient became more alert she complained of blurry
vision. A opthamology consult was obtained and she was found to
have exposure heratopathy with abrasion in both eyes secondary
to lagaophlamous. She was started on Bacitracin and patching at
sleep.Within two days the eye had significant improvement.
Continue to tegaderm eyes closed at hs.
Medicine was consulted due to her porcine MVR past
anticoagulation and developed oliguria on [**5-29**]. She was trialed
on lasix given mild dyspnea, 400 cc urine made, dark. An echo
was done that showed echo reveals EF 50%, 3+ TR. She was
restarted on a standing dose of a diuretic.
Neurologically she continued to progress, she was orientated X3,
slight left IP weakness she was full assist with ambulation. She
was tolerating a regular diet. Her wound was clean and dry.
Neurology was consulted for INR therapeutic dosing - She
restarted her coumadin on post op day #10 (monday [**6-5**]) with a
dose of 5mg. Her INR is pending at this pt and in speaking to
the receiving physiatrist at [**Hospital1 **] - the pts INR will be
called to 2 South where the pt will be admitted and they will
dose her for this evening. The INR recommended by the neurology
team is 2.5-3.5. Her INR yesterday was 1.3 prior to her first
dose of coumadin.
The pts family was requesting a hematology consult for
explanation of why this pts INR suddenly "shot up". The pt is
refusing this consultation stating that she feels her family
wants to blame her for the bleeding on the brain.

History of Present Illness:
34 y/o M w hx of MR, [**First Name3 (LF) 862**] disorder who presents today with a
cluster of seizures. Was doing well at his group home when he
was noted to have about 5 two-minute petite mal seizures that
resolved on their own. Was taken to OSH where he again had 2
more siezures, this time more tonic clonic. Was treated with 2
mg ativan IV x1 and then valium 5 mg IV x1, and tegretol for
continued seizing. He was found to have PNA on CXR and treated
with zosyn. He was transferred here because he gets his
neurology care at [**Hospital1 18**].
.
In the ED, initial vs were 98.4, 96/62, 72, 14, 98% NRB. Patient
was given vanco and levofloxacin here. He also got 1L NS. He was
unable to be weaned from the non-rebreather, so admitted to the
ICU. Between signout and transfer to the floor, he had another
[**Hospital1 862**] and was given 2 mg IV of ativan which resolved the
[**Hospital1 862**].
.
Per report, a friend from his group home was with him in the
emergency room and said that he often has groups of seizures
like this when he gets infected.
.
On the floor, he is sedated, arousable to pain, non-verbal. His
friend or relative was no longer with him, so a history was
difficult to obtain.

hiatus
hernia and atelectasis, less likely pneumonia. There is no other
focal
consolidation to suggest pneumonia. There is no effusion or
pneumothorax.
The hilar and cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged, with
redemonstration
of mild cardiomegaly. The visualized bones demonstrate no acute
abnormality.
Numerous air-filled bowel loops are identified in the upper

Hospital Course:
.
# Seizures: Increased frequency was thought likely due to
pneumonia; per notes and reports from his group home, he tends
to have clusters of seizures when he is infected. However as
seen below there was not sufficient evidence for an pneumonia
and it may have been a viral infection. His phenytoin and
carbemazepine levels were at goal. While in the MICU on [**2108-4-2**],
he had a [**Date Range 862**] lasting 13 minutes characterized by right eye
and face twitching and associated with tachycardia to 140s and
hypoxia to O2sat 70s. He received ativan 1mg x 2. He was then
started on standing Ativan, initially 1mg Q6hr, and transferred
to the Neurology service. His Zonegran was increased to 500mg
QHS, and his Dilantin was returned to his prior dose of
150mg/200mg. He remained [**Date Range 862**] free on [**4-3**], and the Ativan
was tapered further from 1mg q8hr to 0.5mg Q6hr. He was doing
well until [**4-6**] his tube feeds stopped flowing and he was noted
to have an ileus. His medications were switched to IV form. He
has a few seizures while on IV formulation and his ativan was
bumped back to 1mg q6h. His ileus resolved and he was placed
back on his oral medications and his Zonegran was increased to
500mg. The ativan was tapered off and he was [**Month/Day (4) 862**] free at
discharge.
.
# Pneumonia: Found to have a new possible LLL pneumonia on CXR.
As patient does have a h/o MRSA infection and comes from a group
home setting, he was started on vancomycin, zosyn, and
azithromycin for HCAP and CAP coverage. He initially was on a
non-rebreather, but throughout the course of the day on [**4-2**] he
was titrated off all oxygen, and was back on room air by [**4-3**].
Repeat CXR still showed no sign of pneumonia, the patient was
afebrile, and WBC count had improved so antibiotics were stopped
on [**4-3**]. It was thought that the inciting factor this time was
possible a viral upper respiratory tract infection, as there had
been concern about increased congestion and cough during the
week prior to admission
.
# FEN: Tube feeds: patient was unable to tolerate tube feeds for
several days as high residuals were noted. There was concern for
mild ileus with a KUB showing Multiple air-filled dilated loops
of small and large bowel. He was kept NPO for several days and
then tube feeds were resumed without any difficulty. He
tolerated Fibersource HN Full strength at 45 ml/hr with minimal
residuals. He abdominal exam remained soft and non-distended and
he had regular bowel movements.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted with increased [**Month/Day (2) 862**] frequency. This was
thought to be due to a viral illness. Your Zonegran was
increased, and you were also started on standing Ativan while
you were in the hospital. While you were here your tube feeds
were not able to be adavance and you stopped having bowel
movements. It was noted that you had an ileus (a temporary halt
of forward motion in the bowel). You were placed on bowel rest
and all your anti-[**Month/Day (2) 862**] medications were turned to Iv
equivalents. After 2-3 days your bowels stared to move again
and you were able to restart tube feeds. You medications were
restarted and you have been doing well since that time. You
also are having consistent bowel movements. Your seizures have
been well controlled over the last few days, and the ativan was
tapered off.

Chief Complaint:
hypotension
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
endotracheal intubation
History of Present Illness:
Patient is a 67 year old female with a history of Type II DM,
HTN, stage III CKD, and 2 vessel CAD admitted on [**2146-11-3**] with
hyperglycemia. The patient was hospitalized two months ago with
dysphagia and provided history suggestive of CHF. Subsequent
evaluation showed severely depressed LVEF, 20-25%, with elevated
right- and left-sided filling pressures. A diagnostic left- and
right-heart cath was performed, and attempted PCI to mid-LAD was
unsuccessful. The patient was evaluated by CT surgery, and was
determined to be a poor surgical candidate. The patient was
discharged with a plan to optimize medical management of
presumed ischemic heart disease (there had been a question of
possible tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, alcoholic
cardiomyopathy). Iron studies did not show evidence of
hemachromatosis. The patient had scheduled Cardiology follow up
on [**2146-11-2**] which she unfortunately did not keep. The following
day, the patient was found to be hyperglycemic, with home FSBGs
in the 500s. Since admission, management of hypervolemia from
CHF has been limited by hypotension. We are asked to provide
recommendation for management of patient's CHF.
On further history, patient notes progressive DOE over the past
summer. She denies any inciting event. Her exercise capacity and
level of activity have been limited over the past few months due
to progressive DOE.
On cardiac review of symptoms, patient denies any current or
prior chest pain/pressure/angina. Denies palpitations,
presyncope, and syncope. Patient does have [**1-19**] pillow orthopnea
with occasional PND. Lower leg swelling has not changed over
prior two months.
Currently, the patient notes fatigue and mild shortness of
breath at rest during the interview. She denies chest
pain/pressure, lightheadedness, and is otherwise asymptomatic.

CXR: [**2146-11-3**]
A moderate right pleural effusion is largely unchanged. Linear
opacity adjacent to the effusion is most consistent with
atelectasis. There is improved aeration of the left lung base.
Upper lung zones are well aerated without new consolidation.
There is no pneumothorax. Pulmonary vascularity is normal. There
is no hilar enlargement. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is
grossly stable.
IMPRESSION:
Persistent moderate-to-large right pleural effusion and small
left pleural
effusion, with atelectasis. No edema
ECHO: [**2146-11-7**]
The left atrium is elongated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 10-20mmHg. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and
cavity size are normal. There is severe global left ventricular
hypokinesis (LVEF = 20 %). No masses or thrombi are seen in the
left ventricle (fibrotic apical trabeculations are seen). The
right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with severe
global free wall hypokinesis. [Intrinsic right ventricular
systolic function is likely more depressed given the severity of
tricuspid regurgitation.] 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. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild to
moderate ([**11-19**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The left
ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling
abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The tricuspid valve
leaflets fail to fully coapt. Moderate to severe [3+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. Significant pulmonic regurgitation is
seen. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity is
increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension.
There is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat
pad.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2146-9-11**],
the right ventricular cavity is slightly larger with more severe
free wall hypokinesis. The other findings are similar.
Brief Hospital Course:
67 F with DM, 2 vessel CAD, CKD, and ischemic cardiomyopathy (EF
(20-25%) initially admitted with hyperglycemia after missing
insulin for several days.
With administration of home doses of insulin, hyperglycemia
corrected. There was no evidence for an infection. Hospital
course was then complicated by the development of hypotension
from decompensated CHF. Although patient ruled out for an acute
ischemic event, echo showed progression of cardiac dysfunction
with an EF of 20%, 3+ tricuspid regurgitation and severe RV
dysfunction with free wall hypokinesis. Transferred to the CCU
for further management and started on lasix and milironone drip
to optimize cardiac output. CCU course complicated by the
development of PEA requiring cardiac resuscitation with
intubation and 4 pressor support.
Given the patient's end stage heart failure and prognosis, the
family decided to withdraw care. A morphine drip was initiated
and pressors and mechanical ventilation was discontinued. Time
of death was 4:30am on [**2146-11-10**]. Her son (next of [**Doctor First Name **]) and
niece [**Name (NI) 382**], declined an autopsy.

contusion is noted as well as white matter hypodensities in the
subcortical region of the high right frontal lobe suggestive of
prior diffuse axonal injury ([**Doctor First Name **]) in this region. These findings
are unchanged from the most recent study. The visualized
paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. The soft
tissues appear unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Resolution of the
previously noted right-sided subdural hematoma. 2. Sequela of
prior infarct, contusion, and probable [**Doctor First Name **], as above.
[**2121-12-23**] Head CT
No change compared to the prior study. Stable encephalomalacic
changes in the right frontal and left parieto-occipital regions.
No evidence for subdural hematoma or mass effect.
[**2121-12-26**] TTE
The left atrium is moderately dilated. The right atrium is
markedly dilated. The estimated right atrial pressure is
10-20mmHg. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The
left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. There is severe
global left ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 15-20%). Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with mild global free wall
hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation.
The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. The left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a
restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial
pressure. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION:
Moderately dilated left ventricle with severe global systolic
dysfunction. Elevated filling pressures. Mild pulmonary
hypertension. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of
[**2121-8-8**], the findings are similar.
[**2122-1-1**] Cardiac Catheterization
1. Selective coronary angiography of this left dominant system
revealed
no angiographically apparent coronary artery disease. The LMCA,
LAD,
LCX and RCA had no angiographically apparent flow-limiting
stenoses.
2. Resting hemodynamics revealed mildly elevated right and left
sided
filling pressures with RVEDP of 12 mm Hg and PCWP mean of 19 mm
Hg at
baseline. There was moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension of
45/21
mm Hg. Systemic arterial blood pressure was normal at 103/65 mm
Hg.
Cardiac index was depressed at a baseline value of 1.7 l/min/m2.
After milrinone bolus of 0.5 mcg/kg IV over 10 minutes, left
sided
filling pressure were unchanged with a PCWP mean of 19 mm Hg.
Pulmonary
arterial pressure decreased to 40/18 mm Hg. Pulmonary vascular
resistance also decreased. Cardiac index improved to 2.2
l/min/m2.
There was no change in systemic arterial blood pressure.
3. Left ventriculography was not performed.
Brief Hospital Course:
(1) DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY AND CHF
Mr. [**Known lastname **] has a dilated cardiomyopathy that was diagnosed after
presenting with Class III CHF symptoms in [**9-27**]; it is thought
to be of viral etiology. TTE from [**8-2**] showed an EF of 20%. He
is s/p AICD placement in [**2117**] after VT was diagnosed on Holter
monitor. During this admission, he had evidence of worsening
heart failure on CXR ultimately requiring intubation for
pulmonary edema that was refractory to diuresis. After six days
on a lasix drip, he was weaned off the ventillator.
He was also on milrinone for inotropic support. On [**2122-1-1**], he
was taken for a milrinone study in the cath [**Date Range **], which showed
improvement in CI from 1.7 l/min/m2 off milrinone to 2.2
l/min/m2 after a milrinone bolus. He was continued briefly on
milrinone after the study. However, he was ultimately
discharged to home off milrinone.
He was sent home on metoprolol 150 mg PO TID, lisinopril 2.5 mg
PO BID and digoxin 0.125 mg PO QD.
(2)ATRIAL FIBRILLATION with RAPID VENTRICULAR RATE
He has pre-existing AFib with RVR with heart rates as high as
160's. His rate was controlled to the 90 - 110 range with
metoprolol, and he was discharged on metoprolol 150 mg PO TID.
He was on a heparin drip throughout the hospitalization for
anticoagulation and sent home on coumadin with [**Hospital 6669**]
[**Hospital3 **] follow-up.
(3) C. DIFF COLITIS
Mr. [**Known lastname **] had a fever and diarrhea and was found to be C. diff
toxin positive. He was treated initially with PO flagyl;
however, PO vancomycin was later added when his leukocytosis,
fever and symptoms did not improve and there was for concern for
a flagyl-resistant strain. He completed a 14 day course of PO
flagyl and PO vancomycin after his broad spectrum antibiotics
were discontinued (see below).
(4) PERSISTENT FEVERS AND LEUKOCYTOSIS
Although most likely secondary to C. diff infection, his fever
and leukocytosis persisted even after treatment for C. diff
colitis was initiated. Blood and urine cultures were negative.
There was a question of RUL infiltrate on CXR, and he was
treated empirically for five days with IV vancomycin and
cefepime for a possible hospital acquired pneumonia.
(5) ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
His baseline creatinine is ~0.8 - 1.0. On admission Cr was
noted to be 1.3, likely from decreased renal perfusion from his
cardiac disease. Later in the admission, he again developed ARF
likely secondary to contrast exposures, intravascular volume
depletion and poor cardiac output. He was discharged with Cr
above baseline but trending down, with out-patient follow-up.

None
History of Present Illness:
72-year-old male with AChR +ve myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**], Duodenal
angiomas, asthma, diastolic CHF and AF who presented following a
4 day hx of fever, chills, and generalized weakness. Patient
felt hot with chills past 2 nights for which he did not take his
temperature but took acetamionophen for this. He noticed
increasing wheeze past 2 days and did feel more SOB yesterday
with no cough, sputum or hemoptysis. Since last night noted
palpitations with an associated "funny feeling" in the chest.
THis was a mild chest pressure which lasted 2 minutes and
subsided. He had further sweating, fever, palpitations and chest
discomfort (again which was self-limiting lasting 2 minutes per
pt) and called an ambulance. Upon EMS arrival the patient was in
a rapid AF with a heart rate about 130, O2 sat was approximately
95% on 4 L. Patient denies any chest pain, but noted mild
difficulty breathing and mild nausea. Of note, he had missed his
diltiazem this am. He denied emesis or abdominal pain. No recent
hospital admissions.
.
In the ED, patient was noted to have a low grade temp 100 and
was in fast AF with rate 130's and 94% 3L NC. CXR showed
multifocal pneumonia. Labs demonstrated WBC 13 pt received,
acetaminophen, IV levoflox/vancomycin and 2L NS and his SBP was
110's. No rate control was given. ECG showed fast AF with no
ischemic changes. Vitals on transfer were 120 139/93 27-30 97%
3L NC.
.
Regarding myasthenic sx pt noted increased generalised weakness
past 4 days with no diplopia or blurred vision and no swallowing
problems. [**Name (NI) **] did not take any of his myasthenia meds until in
the [**Hospital Unit Name **] which may account for his significant dysarthria
although patient denies diplopia.
.
On arrival to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] vitals were T 99.6 123/91 HR 143 RR 19

XR CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2192-12-2**] 12:25 PM
FINDINGS: There is a rounded opacity in the right upper lobe.
There is left
basilar atelectasis. Lung volumes are slightly low. The cardiac
silhouette,
hilar and mediastinal contours appear within normal limits.
There is no
pneumothorax or pleural effusion.
IMPRESSION: Right upper lobe consolidative opacity worrisome for
pneumonia.
Recommend repeat chest radiograph after appropriate treatment to
assess for
resolution. Left basilar atelectasis.
.
XR CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2192-12-3**] 5:07 AM
Portable AP chest radiograph was reviewed in comparison to
[**2192-12-2**].
The right upper lobe rounded opacity appears to be slightly
bigger than on the prior study and might be consistent with
gradual progression of infectious process. Left retrocardiac
consolidation is unchanged. Right basal atelectasis is
unchanged. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. Followup of
the right upper lobe consolidation to complete resolution is
mandatory.
.
[**2192-12-6**]:
MRI BRAIN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The study is very limited, with
incomplete diffusion imaging. Within the limitations of
obtaining only the directional sequence of the diffusion study,
there is no evidence of acute infarction.
Non-contrast sagittal T1-weighted images show no mass effect or
hematoma.
IMPRESSIONS: Very limited study due to early termination shows
no evidence of acute infarction, mass effect, or hematoma.
Brief Hospital Course:
72-year-old male with AChR +ve myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**], Duodenal
angiomas, asthma, diastolic CHF and AF presents with fevers,
chills and SOB and was found to be in fast AF with evidence of
multifocal pneumonia on CXR. Considerable myasthenic sx (not
affecting respiratory muscles but had mild proximal fatiguable
weakness) on admission but now improving with persistent eye
signs.
.
# Multi-lobar Pneumonia with acute respiratory failure: Evidence
of predominantly RUL consolidation but also left base changes in
context of fevers, chills and worsening SOB. Patient started on
Levofloxacin and Ceftriaxone for CAP and given potential for
worsening MG with levofloxacin this was changed to azithromycin.
BCs, Sputum cultures, Urine legionella Ag was negative. WBC
downtrending on hospital day 2 but CXR ppeared slightly worse
with evidence of left base consolidation. He was treated with
PRN nebs. He symptomaticlly improved, and was discharged to
complete a total of 14 days of treatment on cefpodoxime (already
completed 1 week of azithromycin). He will need a repeat CXR in
[**3-6**] weeks to monitor for resolution.
.
# Rapid Atrial Fibrillation: On home maintained on diltiazem
240mg [**Hospital1 **]. Noted to have rate 130 at EMS and rate in ICU
100s-140s however had not received daily nodal agents. On
evening of admission received 120mg of diltiazem. On morning of
hospital day 2 resumed full home dose diltiazem 240mg [**Hospital1 **]. He
was changed to short acting diltiazem 90mg Q6 on [**12-3**] as rate was
still high. Regarding anticoagulation, patient not
anticoagulated as an outpatient. Started on ASA 325mg which was
discontinued in the setting of GI bleeding. He was discharged
from the ICU on [**12-3**] and his HR was 90s-100s. On diltiazem 240
mg po bid he had HR in the 80's on the day of discharge.
.
# AChR +ve Myasthenia: Sees O/P neurologist. Usually on regular
pyridostigmine and azathioprine. Current significant symptoms
with complex ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and fatiguable proximal
weakness with dysarthria. Generally poor chest wall movement.
Baseline ABG obtained which was reassuring for intact
respiratory status and showed respiratory alkalosis. Patient was
unable to cooperate with FVC. Patient continued on azathioprine
150mg and pyridostigmine 90mg qid and glycopyrrolate. By Day 2
he had improved - no longer had proximal weakness but had
persistent ocular symptosm with partial ptosis on left and very
limited eye movement on the left especially in adduction and
upgaze bilaterally. Neurology were consulted and followed. He
eventually stabilized on his home doses of pyridostigmine and
azathioprine, as well as glycopyrollate.
.
# Gait ataxia. He exhibited gait ataxian on hospital day 3.
This improved slowly with increased ambulation. A partial MRI
was completed, which showed no acute infarcts. He will be
discharged with home PT and a walker.
.
# HTN: On admission relatively hypotensive systolic pressures
improved in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]. Held furosemide in setting of presenting
hypotension thoguh this was restarted prior to discharge.
.
# Hx dCHF: furosemide was held during admission, with no signs
of volume overload. Furosemide 80 mg po daily was restarted at
discharge.
.
# Asthma: No further significant wheeze. He was given PRN
Xopenex nebs
.
# Gastrointestinal bleeding, with history of angiomas. He was
started on heparin SC and aspirin 325, then 81. On hospital day
4, he developed guaic positive stool. Prilosec was increased to
40 mg po bid, and heparin and aspirin were discontinued. He had
a slow drift down in his hematocrit. He will follow up with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 1940**], his primary gastroenterologist for an enteroscopy in
the next 4-6 weeks.
.
# Diarrhea. The patient developed diarrhea occurring 3 times
daily at the time of discharge. C Diff testing was negative. It
is most likely that this represents a mediation side effect
potentially from glycopyrollate. He will follow-up as an
outpatient for further management of this issue.

History of Present Illness:
HPI: 65 yo M with h/o HTN p/w increasing abdominal girth and
jaundice found to have liver failure and erythrocytosis. Pt was
in his USOH until approximately 4 weeks ago when he developed
increasing abdominal swelling, yellowed skin and worsening
fatigue. He gained approximately 10 pounds over 2 weeks before
seeing his PCP who noted some abnormal labs. Pt recalls that he
had an elevated creatinine and bilirubin. He was referred by his
PCP to [**Name Initial (PRE) **] gastroenterologist. Pt had an EGD performed which
demonstrated no varices per the pt, though it did demonstrated
"small ulcers." Pt also had a CT torso [**2118-3-25**] at [**Hospital1 **]
showing an enlarged and heterogeneous liver, indicating either
cirrhosis with regenerating nodules or dysplastic nodules. The

Brief Hospital Course:
65 year old man with history of hypertension p/w increasing
abdominal girth and jaundice found to have liver failure, renal
failure and erythrocytosis
.
Liver failure: On admission, the ultrasound demonstrated that
the patient's liver was diffusely heterogeneous with no discreet
mass. Imaging was consistent with cirrhosis, though biopsy would
be needed to confirm diagnosis. The differential diagnosis was
broad, including infectious disease, autoimmune disease, and
inherited disorders, such as hemosiderosis, which was strongly
considered given the positive family history. The liver service
was consulted and a full work-up was initiated. Hepatitis
serologies were unremarkable. An AFP> 1 million was concerning
for HCC. Iron studies were suggestive of hemochromatosis and
hemochromatosis gene analysis was positive for a homozygous
C282Y mutation. An abdominal MRI demonstrated background
hemosiderosis, a large left lobe liver mass compatible with
hepatoma invading left portal vein with left portal vein
thrombosis, and additional multifocal areas of signal
abnormality scattered throughout both lobes of liver compatible
with multifocal hepatoma. It was felt that the patient had
developed cirrhosis secondary to hemochromatosis and in turn
developed malignant transformation. The liver oncology service
was consulted and felt that given the multifocal involvement,
locoregional therapies or transplantation were not indicated.
Sorafenib was felt to be of limited benefit. The patient
declined further aggressive chemotherapy and elected to be
comfort measures only. He was discharged home with hospice.
.
erythrocytosis: The differential diagnosis included polycythemia
[**Doctor First Name **] vs. epo producing neoplasm such as hepatocellular
carcinoma. The patient had an elevated epo level and evidence of
HCC as above. The patient was treated with serial phlebotomy per
the hematology service.
.
renal failure: The renal service was consulted. The patient was
felt to have hepatorenal syndrome. Dialysis was initiated
in-house and was discontinued on discharge given the change
toward hospice care.
.
portal vein thrombus: Felt to likely be associated with HCC.
Anti-coagulation was initially held given the patient's occult
blood positive stool. Further therapy was held given the
patient's change in goals of care toward palliation.
.
hypertension: The patient's home medications were held given his
borderline blood pressures throughout the admission.
.
FEN: The patient was placed on a renal diet. He was given
dextrose IV as needed for hypoglycemia.
.
ppx: The patient was placed on heparin sc throughout the
admission.
.
Communication: Multiple family meetings were held with the
patient, his wife and children involved.

Chief Complaint:
Abdominal pain, vomiting, coffee ground emesis
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
RIJ central venous line placed
Esophagoduodenoscopy
hemodialysis
History of Present Illness:
35 yo M with h/o DM, ESRD on HD, with history of gastroparesis,
recent hospitalizations for emesis [**2-24**] gastroparesis. He
presents now with coffee ground emesis for one day. Initially he
woke up Friday morning with nausea and vomiting which was
non-bloody, non-bilious and persisted throughout the day. During
the night prior to presentation he had an episode of vomiting
which was coffee ground appearing but not frankly bloody. He had
multiple episodes of coffee ground emesis and so decided to go
to ED. N/V is associated with [**2144-7-30**] epigastric pain that is
sharp, non-radiating, not assoicated with PO intake, though he
has not been tolerating POs during this presentation.
In the ED he was given IVF 1L NS, protonix 80 mg IV, Reglan 10
mg, Compazine 10 mg, Zofran 8 mg, morphine 8 mg. Type and screen
sent and his lactate was found to be 5.7. EJ was placed for
access as he has poor peripheral veins, labs had to be drawn
from femoral sticks because of poor peripheral access. In ED he
also vomited 300 cc of coffee ground vomitous, was guaiac
positive and had guaiac positive brown stool from below. He was
sent to MICU for GI bleed, hematemesis and elevated lactate.

Abdominal ultrasound
1. No evidence of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal
dilatation or
evidence of retained biliary stone.
2. Small amount of ascites noted in the right and left lower
quadrant as well as left upper quadrant.
3. Mildly echogenic liver might be secondary to steatosis. Other
forms of
hepatic disease cannot be excluded.
.
CXR [**9-4**]:
The patient has received a right internal jugular vein catheter.
The tip of the catheter projects over the superior IVC. No
evidence of
complications, notably no pneumothorax. Moderate cardiomegaly
without
evidence of pulmonary edema. No pleural effusions. No focal
parenchymal
opacities suggesting pneumonia.
Known small sclerotic lesion in the right clavicle, likely
reflecting a bone island.
.
CXR [**9-5**]:
As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant
change. Moderate cardiomegaly without overt pulmonary edema. No
pleural
effusions. No focal parenchymal opacity suggesting pneumonia.
Unchanged
course and position of the right central venous access line.
Brief Hospital Course:
35 yo M with IDDM, ESRD on HD, chronic gastroparesis requiring
hospital admissions for emesis who presents now with
hematemesis.
.
#Hematemsis/Abdominal Pain: Given chronic history of emesis and
acute history of vomiting all day before hematemesis started the
most likely cause of bleeding is from [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] tear.
Other possiblities in differential included peptic ulcer disease
although the patient is on protonix at home, gastritis or
esophagitis. The patient's nausea was controlled to prevent
vomiting induced GI bleed with Reglan, Zofran and then
reinitiation of Erythromycin. The patient was kept on IV
pantoprazole 40mg twice daily. He had cleared with 2 liters NG
tube lavage and therefore, his NGT was removed - also per the
patient's strong request. His hematocrits were rechecked every 8
hours and his hemodynamics monitored closely in the MICU - which
all remained stable. The patient was typed and crossed for four
units of blood and kept NPO per below. He received Dilaudid IV
PRN and his home aspirin was held. When EGD was performed, there
was evidence of erosive esophagitis and Barretts could not be
excluded. He was recommended high dose [**Hospital1 **] PPI and follow up
EGD in [**3-26**] months. Follow up with GI was arranged.
.
#Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis. His AG was 20 on presentation to
the MICU. His ABG demonstrated normal pH so he likely has a
component of metabolic alkalosis as well. Likely lactic acidosis
and a metabolic alkalosis from vomiting. He also has ESRD and so
he has electrolyte/pH imbalance chronically from renal failure.
On recheck prior to transfer out of the MICU, he still had an
anion gap ~16 but it appears he has had gaps in the past. The
patient was given gentle fluids to improve his metabolic status,
antiemetics to reduce acid loss from vomiting and his ESRD was
managed with hemodialysis, nephrocaps, aluminum hydroxide and
increased sevelamer (predominantly for hyperphosphatemia).
.
# Gastroparesis. He was continued on home erythromycin and was
able to tolerate home diet at the time of his discharge.
.
#DM: Chronic issue, poorly controlled. The patient was continued
on home insulin regimen.
.
#HTN: Chronic, poorly controlled. He has been hemodynamically
stable and actually hypertensive in the setting of hematemesis.
The patient was restarted on his home medications for
hypertension and in general, he was closely monitored for
hemodynamic instability in the setting of his hematemesis. He
remained stable on Amlodipine 5mg daily, lisinopril 5mg daily.
.
#ESRD: Chronic, on Hemodialysis Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The
patient was very gently volume resuscitated given his risk of
volume overload. Renal was aware of the patient for his usual
dialysis schedule. He was continued on Nephrocaps and Sevelemer
was increased in the setting of hyperphosphatemia to >11. The
patient was also started on aluminimum hydroxide. Nephrotoxins
were avoided.
.
#Nutrition: The patient was kept NPO for the first evening and
first full day of admission secondary to ongoing nausea and dry
heaving/gags. NGT initially placed but patient requested its
removal. The patient was then kept NPO although improving
feelings of nausea as the patient was to be kept NPO after
midnight for possible EGD in the morning anyway. Post EGD, he
was tolerating a full diet and he was discharged
.
#Access: RIJ was placed given poor access

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 23203**] is a 74 yo male with recent history of CVA ([**12/2134**]) on
coumadin who presented with rhinorrhea (3 days), productive
cough (2 days) and mental status change (over the 16 hours PTA).
The night PTA, he had restless sleep, woke at 3:30am and
showered to get ready for the day. His wife got up at 6:30 and
prepared breakfast. Prior to breakfast he was sitting [**Location (un) 1131**]
the newspaper and his wife noted that he was "shaking" badly.
He commented that he was "cold". She took his temp, which was
97F. They sat down to eat breakfast and he began to act odd.
He sat very far away from the table. With prompting, he scooted
to the table. He then was unable to properly use his fork to
eat his eggs. His wife then called her PCP who recommended that
they go to the ED. She called 911.
Per the ED report (but no documentation in the chart), the pt
was hypoglycemic in field to 27 and received dextrose.
In the ED, he had a head CT that was negative for bleed or
infarct. Glucose was 108. He had a temperature of 104.
Initially his VS were BP 133/78, H 84 and evolved to 90-100s
systolic and HR of 100-120s. He was given dilt 5mg x 2 for RVR.
CXR was initially read as right middle lobe infiltrate and he
was given ceftriaxone 1 g and azithromycin 500mg. There was
some discussion about meningitis, but he was not given
meningitis doses of medications. His neurologist felt that this
was less likely meningitis and recommended against LP in the
setting of therapeutic INR.
When he arrived to the MICU, his SBPs were in the 70s. An
arterial line was placed. He was bolused 4 more liters with
improvement to 90-100s.

[**2135-3-7**] ECHOCARDIOGRAM:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No left atrial mass/thrombus
seen (best excluded by transesophageal echocardiography). 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. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion and no aortic stenosis. Trace 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 no pericardial
effusion. IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Normal
biventricular cavity sizes with preserved global biventricular
systolic function. Mild mitral regurgitation. Trace aortic
regurgitation. Dilated ascending aorta.
Brief Hospital Course:
RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS:
Mr. [**Known lastname 23203**] is a 74 yo male who presented with a three-day history
of progressive respiratory symptoms (rhinorrhea, productive
cough, fevers) and mental status change. He was found to have a
RML pneumonia radiographically and was positive for influenza A.
On presentation, he initially required aggressive fluid
resuscitation, but thereafter remained hemodynamically stable.
He required admission to the MICU for hypotension and concern
for sepsis. He was started empirically on vancomycin and
ceftrazidime, as well as tamiflu for influenza. Sputum cultures
were negative. He competed a five day course of levofloxacin
and tamiflu.
CHANGE IN MENTAL STATUS:
The patient's course was complicated by delirium, in particular
sun-downing in the evenings. This was felt to be due to his
underlying flu, pneumonia and the ICU environment. He became
significantly agitated at night, requiring chemical and
mechanical restraints. He also required a 1:1 sitter for
safety. The decision was made to start the patient on a low
dose of seroquel early in the evening, although this was
discontinued by the time of discharge. His mental status
dramatically improved with treatment of his underlying lung
processes, and he was doing crossword puzzles and had no
evidence of delirium upon discharge.
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION WITH RVR:
While in the ICU, the patient was noted to have AFib with RVR
with heart rates as high as 150 during periods of intense
agitation. He was started on a diltiazem drip. He later became
hypotensive and was temporarily on digoxin until blood pressure
stabilized, at which point he was restarted on home lopressor.
An ECHO was also obtained which showed normal cardiac function.
He was maintained on coumadin for anticoagulation, though his
INR was labile while on antibiotics.
HSV-1 OUTBREAK:
The patient was noted to have multiple vesicular lesions on the
upper and lower lips in the mid-line, as well as a small area of
vesicles on the right chin and right neck. DFA was positive
for HSV-1. He was started on a short course of acyclovir PO.
**** PENDING ISSUES FOR FOLLOW-UP:
(1) He needs an INR check with necessary Coumadin dosage
adjustment on Friday, [**3-18**]. This is to be done by the PCP
[**Name Initial (PRE) 3726**].

History of Present Illness:
This 66-year-old man with COPD, PVD who was admitted to OSH on
[**6-6**] in respiratory failure. He was intubated and admitted to
the ICU. His initial blood gas was 7.06/94/134/26 (on 100% O2).
Chest xray showed pulmonary edema. Initial EKG (not included in
transfer records) was read as sinus tachycardia at 120, LVH with
repolarization. Initial TnI 0.11 and peaked at 0.21. BNP was
874. He was treated with nebs, diuretics, antibiotics and was
extubated on [**2105-6-7**]. He was transferred to telemetry where he
has been pain free. He was stressed yesterday and found to have
an EF of 20-25% with a fixed defect. Patient has been on RA w/
sats >95%. He was OOB with no complaints prior to transfer.
Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] he states that his shortness of breath
started approximately 4-5 days prior to his presentation. He
states that the shortness of breath was sudden onset ~1am and
progressively got worse. He states that he started taking
Avandia 4 days prior to his symptom onset. He denies chest pain,
jaw pain, or arm pain. He had a cough during this time but
denies any sputum production. Also, he has had no fevers,
chills, or sweats. The shortness of breath was no positional. He
has had intermittent leg swelling over the past few weeks but
not progressively so. He does have chronic pain in his calves
when walking <1 block; the pain is relieved with rest.
On review of systems, he denies any prior history of stroke,
TIA, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the
time of surgery, joint pains, hemoptysis, black stools or red
stools. He denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. All of the
other review of systems were negative.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 66 year old man with PVD, multiple cardiac risk
factors presented with signs and symptoms of new CHF. He
ruled-out for acute MI then subsequently underwent cardiac
catheterization to identify the cause of the new onset heart
failure. The coronary angiography revealed 3 vessel disease and
he was referred to cardiac surgery for CABG. A subsequent
echocardiogram revealed moderate to sever aortic regurgitation.
On [**2105-6-19**] he was taken to the operating room and underwent a
coronary artery bypass graft times four (LIMA to LAD, SVG to
PDA, SVG to OM and SVG to Ramus) and an AVR (23mm CE Perimount
Bioprothesis). This procedure was performed by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **]
[**Name (STitle) **]. He tolerated the procedure well and was able to be
transferred in critical but stable condition to the surgical
intensive care unit.
In the surgical intensive care unit he progressed well. He was
extubated and his chest tubes were removed by post-operative day
one. He was weaned from his pressors. On the following day his
epicardial wires and swan were removed. He was placed on
amiodarone for atrial fibrillation. On post-operative day three
he was transferred to the surgical step down floor.
On the floor he was seen in consultation by the physical therapy
service. The [**Last Name (un) **] diabetes clinic saw him in consultation.
By post-operative day four he was ready for discharge in stable
condition to home.

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 52 yo F with h/o ETOH and cocaine abuse who
presented to an OSH from home after a drinking binge and
ingestion of cocaine with symptoms of withdrawal, black diarrhea
and abdominal pain. She states that she usually binge drinks
around [**9-17**] which is her mother's birthday. She has had
little po but ETOH for the past two days and reports a single
ingestion of cocaine with her girlfreinds several days ago. She
reports history of DTs but no history of seizures. Vitals on
scene were BP 165/124, HR 1008, o2 97. Her glucose was 47. She
was brought to [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] ED and her ABG there was 7.45/45/18.
Her lactate was 10 and Hct 57. sodium and K 130, 2.5. Her CIWA
WAS 36 and she was given ativan (total 1.5 mg iv). A central
line was placed and she was given 7L IVF. She remained
hypotensive to the 70s and norepinephrine was stared. She also
received zofran 4mg iv x1, zosyn and k and mag repletion. Before
transfer to ED here, ABG was 7.31/37/78 and lactate 2.7. On
arrival to ED here, BP 128/57 HR 81 O2 96 on 2L NC. Her
antibiotics were broadened to vancomycin/zosyn given her
hypotension and given her OB positive stool and abdominal pain
with elevated lactate, a CT was obtained which showed
non-specific enteritis. Surgery was consulted and recommended
admission to medicine with GI consult and CTA id persisetent
concern for ischemic colitis. During her ED course she received
valium 10 IV x 2, protonix 80mg IV x 1 and additional K
repletion. He levophed was weaned and has been off since 0510
this am.
.
On arrival to ICU, she is complaining of abdominal pain. She
states taht she has had nothing but etoh for 3 days. Her binge
began 3 weeks ago. She drinks at least a gallon of dark rum per
day. Other than when binging, she does not drink every day and
can go "for weeks". She used cocaine only once and prior use
before then was about a year. She reports that she began
vomiting and having diarrhea on sunday. She did not have any
ETOH to drink on Monday. On tuesday, she felt withdrawal
symptoms and had six "nips" (airplane bottle size). Her sister
called EMS that evening. She reports seeing maroon blood in her
diarrhea, mioxed in. She has seen this before and has assumed
that it is from her hemorhoids which falre whn she drinks. She
denies seeing any blood or coffee grounds in her emesis.

TTE:
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size.
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal
cavity size. Overall left ventricular systolic function is low
normal (LVEF 50-55%). 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
(3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and
no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is
normal. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mild hypokinesis of the basal to mid left ventricle.
Mild mitral regurgitation.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2158-9-13**], the
function of the basal to mid segments has improved and is nearly
normal. The degree of mitral regurgitation has decreased.
CXR:
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient
has been
extubated and the nasogastric tube has been removed. The
bilateral
parenchymal opacities are unchanged in extent. A minimal
right-sided pleural effusion might have newly occurred.
Unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette. No pneumothorax.

MEDICAL FLOOR: ([**Date range (1) 9846**])
.
# E.Coli Pneumonia: CXR evidence of evolving RLL pna. The
patient continued to be treated HCAP PNA, potentially from
aspiration PNA. The pt was treated initially with Vancomycin and
Zosyn in the ICU, this was changed to Ceftriaxone on the floor.
The patient received treatment through her date of discharge, at
which time she had received 9 days of antibiotics. The patient
was breathing comfortably on room air at discharge.
.
# ETOH withdrawal: h/o dts but no seizures. Pt was on CIWA while
in ICU (see above), on floor, no valium was require. Outpatient
follow-up recommended.
.
# Bloody diarrhea, Bowel wall thickening: Pt presented with
symptoms. Per radiology intervening section of small bowel may
be normal but does not contain oral contrast for it is difficult
to evaluate. a skip lesion would change differential making
inflammatory and infectious more likely than ischemic. area of
bowel thickening is also large for watershed ischemia. the
patient has been taking total of 20mg of meloxicam daily and
reports compliance with this med even over past week. The CT
findings could be NSAID induced enteritis. Concern also for
ischemic enteritis secondary to cocaine induced vasospasm. KUB
with no free air. Serial abdominal examinations unchanged.
Infectious diarrhea was negative.
.
# Cardiomyopathy: Initial CV function depressed per echo. Some
diastolic +/- systolic dysfunction. QTc prolongation may be due
to ingestion of methadone; trending EKG esp given use of haldol
/ Cardiomyopathy. Intial TTE ([**9-13**]) showed LVEF 40% Moderate MR
with [**Month/Day (4) 20691**] normal valve morphology. Normal left ventricular
cavity size with mild global hypokinesis in a pattern suggesting
a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. A repeat TTE ([**9-17**]) was later
performed that revealed EF 55% with mild hypokinesis of the
basal to mid left ventricle.
*Cardiology recommends outpatient follow-up and potential pMIBI,
this has not yet been ordered*
.
#: Hypertension: Restarted on home meds on discharge.
.
# Depression, fibromyalgia: Restarted on home meds on discharge.
Held while in house.
.
# Hypothyroid: Continued levothyroxine
.
# Chronic pain: Pt on vicodin as outpatient. No narcotics were
provided to the patient on d/c.

Admission Date: [**2119-7-11**]
Discharge Date: [**2119-7-11**]
Date of Birth: [**2119-7-11**]
Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY AND PHYSICAL: The infant is a 35-5/7 weeks 2195 gram
male newborn who was admitted to the NICU for congenital
heart disease. The infant was born to a 35 year old G1 P0
mother. Prenatal screens were O positive, antibody negative,
hepatitis B surface antigen negative, RPR nonreactive,
rubella immune, GBS unknown. This pregnancy was complicated
by a placenta subchorionic hematoma noted at 8 weeks, chronic
hypertension maintained on Aldomet, and known congenital
heart disease. Question of heart disease was raised on the
first initial fetal survey. A fetal echocardiogram at 30
weeks done at [**Hospital3 1810**] revealed a probable
tetralogy of Fallot, possible pulmonary atresia, good sized
branched pulmonary arteries, overriding aorta, co-ventricular
VSD, and good biventricular function.
Maternal medications included Nexium, Zoloft, Aldomet and
prenatal vitamins. Mother had been routinely followed at the
[**Hospital1 69**] antepartum testing unit
for fetal decelerations. Today the infant failed an oxytocin
challenge test, prompting decision to deliver today by
cesarean section. Referring hospital was [**Hospital3 **],
and pediatric provider is [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 3501**] of [**Hospital 1465**]
Pediatrics.
At delivery, the infant was vigorous, with good tone and
spontaneous cry. Routine neonatal resuscitation was given,
including blow-by O2 for poor color. Apgars were 8 and 8. The
infant was shown to the parents, then transported to the
NICU.
On exam, vital signs were heart rate 144, respiratory rate 40-
60s, actively crying, blood pressure 72/65 with a mean of 67,
temperature 99. Growth parameters - weight of 2195 grams
(25th percentile), length 45 cm (25-50th percentile), head
circumference 30 cm (just greater than the 10th percentile).
The infant was vigorous, in no acute distress, although
cyanotic in room air, with room air oxygen saturations 82-
85%. He appeared slightly dysmorphic, with low set ears and a
broad nasal bridge. Anterior fontanel was soft and flat. The
lungs and chest revealed mild intermittent grunting, though
he was clear to auscultation bilaterally and equal. Cardiac
exam was regular rate and rhythm. He did have a murmur which
was loudest at the left mid sternal border to the upper
sternal border, with some radiation across to the right upper
sternal border. There were no clicks or extra heart sounds.
2+ femoral pulses and [**2-12**] second perfusion. Abdomen was soft,
with good bowel sounds and no hepatosplenomegaly.
Genitourinary was a normal male, patent anus, no sacral
anomalies. Hips were stable and he moved all his extremities
well.
Impression/Plan:
This is a preterm male newborn with known cyanotic
congenital heart disease. Two peripheral intravenous lines
were started, and a prostaglandin infusion was begun at 0.01
mcg/kg/minute. Early management was discussed with the
cardiology service, and the infant was transferred to the
cardiology service at [**Hospital3 1810**] for continued care
and management. The infant was placed NPO and was receiving
maintenance intravenous fluids. Although he was preterm,
there was no sign of respiratory distress syndrome, though
with his intermittent mild grunting, he possibly has some
mild TTN, and respiratory support will need to be continued
to be monitored. There are no sepsis risk factors, though he
was premature and mother had an unknown GBS status. A CBC with
differential and blood culture was obtained, and antibiotics
were not begun at this time.
The plan for stabilization and transfer had been discussed
with the family at the time of the prenatal consult.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Guarded.
DISPOSITION: [**Hospital3 1810**] cardiac unit, P6.
NAME OF PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 3501**], [**Hospital 1465**]
Pediatrics.
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. NPO.
2. MEDICATIONS: Prostaglandin drip at 0.01 mcg/kg/minute.
3. A car seat position screening test was not done prior to
transfer, and will need to be done per AAP recommendations
prior to discharge to home.
4. State newborn screening status - An initial state newborn
screen was obtained at less than 24 hours prior to discharge
from the [**Hospital1 69**] NICU.
5. No immunizations have been received.
IMMUNIZATIONS RECOMMENDED: Synagis RSV prophylaxis should
be considered from [**Month (only) **] through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who
meet any of the following three criteria:
1. Born at less than 32 weeks.
2. Born between 32-35 weeks with two of the following: day
care during RSV season, a smoker in the household,
neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities or school age
siblings.
3. With chronic lung disease.
Influenza immunization is recommended annually in the fall
for all infants once they reach six months of age. Before
this age, and for the first 24 months of the child's life,
immunization against influenza is recommended for household
contacts and out of home caregivers.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Preterm male.
2. Appropriate for gestational age.
3. Congenital heart disease, tetralogy of Fallot.
4. Question of mild dysmorphic features. Rule out DiGeorge
syndrome.
5. Rule out sepsis, with no antibiotics at this time.

Brief Hospital Course:
Pt is a 65 yo Vietnamese male with a PMH sig for Non-small cell
endobronchial lung CA s/p RMSB stent ([**5-21**]), COPD, and CRI
admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] MICU on [**2128-7-2**] for inability to wean from a
ventilator. Pt was inititally admitted to an OSH with resp
failure secondary to pneumonia, which required intubation. He
susequently developed a Left PTX and received 2 Left sided chest
tubes. Pt was extubated on [**7-7**] and one of his CT??????s was removed
on [**7-8**]. Pt was initially noted to be confused and agitated,
which has subsequently improved once he left the MICU. A
post-pyloric NGT was successfully placed and pt was at goal tube
feeds of 40 cc/hr. Throughout his stay he noted a non-radiating
pain in his L chest over the CT. He continued to have a cough.
Pt also received a post-pyloric nasogastric tube after he failed
a swallow evaluation post extubation. He was maintained at goal
tube feeds of 40 cc/hr until he pulled out the tube. A repeat
swallow evaluation was normal and the patient's diet was
advanced as tolerated.
1. Respiratory Failure. Etiology thought to be multifactorial.
Pt was successfully extubated on [**2128-7-7**] and transferred out of
the intensive care unit on [**2128-7-10**]. His O2 sats were initially
maintained on 2.5 L NC and on RA prior to discharge. Oncology
was consulted while the pt was in the intensive care unit for
his NSCLC. It was determined that he was not a surgical
candidate and radiation oncology was consulted to talk to the pt
about radiation therapy for palliation. A CT w/ contast was done
to evaluate his tumor burden. He was given IVF and mucomyst for
his CRI. Pt will follow-up with radiation oncology and oncology
as an out-patient.
2. COPD. Likely contributing to his respitory symptoms. He was
started on prednisone in the unit, which was subsequently
tapered prior to his discharge. He was continued on nebulizer
and inhaler treatments. He was also given Guaifenesin q 6 hrs
for cough.
3. PTX, thought to be secondary to barotrauma. One chest tube
was removed in the unit. Subcutaneous emphysema developed. It
sebsequently improved and the chest tube was changed from wall
suction to water seal and then to air. It continued to drain pus
and was left in place at the time of discharge as per thoracic
surgery's recommendation. The patient and his daugher were
instructed on how to care for the tube and a follow-up
appointment was made with thoracic surgery. They plan to remove
the tube 2 inches per week.
4. HTN. Well controlled throughout his hospital stay on ACEI and
B-B.
5. Hyponatremia. Etiology thought to be secondary to large
amounts of free water boluses added to his tube feeds.
Hyponatremia resolved once the fluid boluses were decreased.
6. CRI. Baseline Cr reported as 1.7. Cr decreased to 1.2,
however bumped to 1.5 post contrast. He was aggressively
hydrated and his Cr improved to 1.3 on day of discharge.
7. ID. staph bacteremia- initially started on iv oxacillin which
was then changed to dicloxacillin. Pt continued to spike temps
during his stay. Bld, Sputum, Pleural fluid, and Urine cultures
were obtained. Blood and pleural fluid with MSSA. Urine grew
GPC in pairs and clusters. Pt started on IV Vanco while on the
floor.
8. GI. Pt had 1 episode of melena. Etiology thought to be
gastritis or small ulcer. pt has 2 PIV's. he was consented and
crossmatched, however remained hemodynamically stable. He was on
po protonix. No EGD performed given clinical stability &
comorbities.
9. Agitation. Noted while pt was in the unit, however appeared
to resolve once the patient was on the floor. He was initially
controlled on Haldol prn with a sitter.
10. Social. SW consulted to help pt and family cope w/ new dx
of CA.

Pertinent Results:
Cardiac Cath ([**2107-9-20**]): 1. Resting hemodynamics revealed
moderately elevated right and left sided filling pressures with
an RVEDP of 13mmHg and LVEDP of 21mmHg. There was
moderate-to-severe pulmonary arterial systolic hypertension with
a PASP of 68mmHg. The cardiac index was mildly reduced at
2.11L/min/m2. FINAL DIAGNOSIS: 1. Mildly elevated right and left
sided filling pressures. 2. Pulmonary hypertension and
moderately elevated PVR
LE US ([**2107-9-25**]): No evidence of DVT in the left lower
extremity. Probable hematoma extending from the anterior upper
to mid calf. Clinical correlation advised.
Echo ([**2107-9-26**]) PREBYPASS: The left atrium is markedly dilated.
No spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the body of the left
atrium or left atrial appendage. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity is
moderately dilated. Overall left ventricular systolic function
is mildly depressed (LVEF= 45-50 %). There is hypokinesis of the
inferior and septal walls. Right ventricular systolic function
is normal with normal free wall contractility. There are three
aortic valve leaflets. The aortic valve leaflets are severely
thickened/deformed. There is critical aortic valve stenosis
(valve area <0.8cm2). Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened with some
restriction of both the anterior and posterior leaflets.
Moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. 3D imaging
reveals failure of coaptation between the A3 and P3 leaflets.
There is mild tricuspid regurgitation. There is no pericardial
effusion. There is a left pleural effusion. POSTBYPASS: The
patient is A-paced on epinephrine and phenylephrine infusions.
Left ventricular systolic function is improved with the inotrope
(LVEF 50-55%). Hypokinesis of the inferior and septal walls
persists. Right ventricular systolic function is now mildly
depressed. Mild tricuspid regurgitation persists. There is a new
aortic bioprosthetic valve which is well seated with good
leaflet excursion. Peak/mean gradients are 15/7 mmHg. The aortic
valve area was calculated to be 1.5 cm2. There is trace aortic
regurgitation which is central. There are no perivalvular leaks.
Mitral regurgitation is now moderate (2+). Aortic contours are
normal. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was informed of the results at the time of the
study.

Brief Hospital Course:
75 year old male with past medical history significant for
coronary artery disease s/p coronary artery bypass graft in [**2089**]
(LIMA to LAD, SVG to D1 and SVG to RCA), diabetes mellitus and
critical Aortic Stenosis s/p balloon valvuloplasty on [**8-22**] with
valve area improvement from 0.6 to 0.74. He was admitted with
decompensated heart failure (acute on chronic) secondary to his
severe aortic stenosis. Upon admission he was medically managed
for his heart failure and aggressively diuresed. with vast
improvement in peripheral and pulmonary edema prior to surgery.
He was also treated for his previous history of Atrial
fibrillation. He received Amiodarone and beta-blockers daily and
was transition from Coumadin to Heparin for anticoagulation.
Diabetes management was also closely monitored and [**Last Name (un) **] was
consulted for management due to his insulin resistant state and
variable diet. On [**9-20**] he underwent a right heart cath to
evaluate volume status and PA hypertension prior to aortic valve
replacement. Cath revealed mildly elevated right and left sided
filling pressures. Along with pulmonary hypertension and
moderately elevated PVR. On [**9-21**] he underwent a TEE to further
assess his mitral valve. Echo revealed moderate to severe (3+)
mitral regurgitation. On this day cardiac surgery was consulted
and he required a few additional lab studies prior to surgery.
Mr. [**Known lastname 25307**] developed a right thigh hematoma post-cath with
difficulty with leg flexibility. Ultrasound revealed a thigh
hematoma. Orthopaedics was consulted to evaluate for compartment
syndrome. Orthopaedics evaluation was negative for compartment
syndrome and patient received pain management. IV Heparin was
discontinued before surgery due to this hematoma and he was
cleared for surgery on [**9-26**]. On this day he underwent a
redo-sternotomy, aortic valve replacement with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. Please
see operative report for surgical details. Following surgery he
was transferred to the CVICU for invasive monitoring in stable
but critical condition (titrated on propofol, epinephrine,and
phenylephrine drips). Within 24 hours he was weaned from
sedation, awoke neurologically intact and extubated. Immediately
post-op pulmonary was consulted for improved management of his
pulmonary hypertension (Nitric Oxide and Sildenafil was
started). On post-op day one he was started on beta-blockers and
aggressively diuresed. By post-op day two pressors were titrated
off. Chest tubes and pacing wires were removed per protocol. He
remained in the CVICU until post-op day four receiving
additional care for his pulmonary status as described above. On
this day he was transferred to the telemetry floor for further
care. Physical therapy and [**Last Name (un) **] followed Mr. [**Known lastname 25307**] during
his entire post-op course. His diet was slowly transitioned back
to a regular consistency diabetic diet. He continued to receive
pulmonary toilet, medical management and repletion of his
electrolytes over the next several days. On post-op day seven he
appeared to be doing well enough to be discharged to rehab
([**Hospital **] center in [**Location (un) 1157**]). Appropriate medications and
follow-up appointments were made.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Chest pain and shortness of breath status
post left anterior descending stenting
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old woman, a
nursing home resident, with known coronary artery disease
status post percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of
the left anterior descending x 2 in [**2137**], non-Q myocardial
infarction in [**2145**], who complained of chest pain associated
with shortness of breath starting the night prior to
admission. She was given sublingual nitroglycerin at the
nursing home. She was then brought to the Emergency Room at
2 P.M. on the day of admission. In the Emergency Room, her
temperature was 97.6, blood pressure 91/43, pulse 75,
respirations 21, and oxygen saturation 98% on 2 liters. Her
examinations were notable for bilateral pedal edema,
bilateral crackles, and guaiac positive stools. Her
electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation with slow
ventricular rate, incomplete left bundle branch block, ST
elevations in V1 to V2, ST depression in I, II, AVL, V5 to
V6, with T wave inversions in I, II, AVL and V3 through V6.
She remained stable in the Emergency Room, and her initial CK
was 91, troponin was less than .3, hematocrit was 33.4, and
INR was 2.9.
Because of the concern for acute myocardial infarction, she
was started on a nitro drip and was brought to the
catheterization laboratory directly. Catheterization
revealed three vessel disease with left anterior descending
proximal 80%, left circumflex proximal 70%, obtuse marginal I
80%, obtuse marginal II 80%, and right coronary artery
proximal 60%, and mid 70% stenosis. The proximal left
anterior descending was successfully stented. The right
heart catheterization showed PA 63% with a calculated cardiac
index of 2.34, RA pressure mean of 14, RV pressure 49/11,
with an end diastolic pressure of 16, PA pressure 56/26, with
a mean of 39, wedge of 25.
Because of her initial INR of 2.9, she had excessive bleeding
at the right femoral site, with Angioseal
post-catheterization. The bleeding was controlled with
pressure for two hours. Due to excessive bleeding, no
Integrilin was given post-catheterization, and two units of
fresh frozen plasma were ordered. She was transferred to the
Coronary Care Unit for overnight observation.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Coronary artery disease status post
acute anterior myocardial infarction in [**2137**], status post
percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of left

HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an
82-year-old male with known mitral valve disease and has been
experiencing increased shortness of breath for several months
and initially it was attributed to COPD; however, on repeat
echocardiogram which showed worsening MR and LV dilatation,
scheduled for cardiac catheterization and it showed LAD 80%
occluded, left circumflex 99% occluded, 3+ MR, and elevated
PA pressures.
The patient was initially admitted to the Medicine Service
for stabilization.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. COPD.
2. Mitral valve disease.
3. Hypertension.
4. Pulmonary hypertension.
5. Coronary artery disease.
6. Status post MI in [**2120**].
7. GERD.
8. Cataract.
9. Bladder cyst.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was initially admitted to the
Medicine Service and stabilized on the Medicine Service. The
patient was taken by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] to the Operating Room on
[**2148-2-2**] and underwent a CABG times three, mitral
valve repair, and annuloplasty.
On postoperative day number one, the patient was admitted to
the DIC CRSU on an intra-aortic balloon pump and paralyzed
and sedated on Milrinone, Levophed, epinephrine, and
Pitressin. The patient required multiple units of packed red
blood cells and FFP to maintain his cardiac index.
On postoperative day number one, the patient was started on
CVVH given his renal impairment and also given his fluid
overload.
The patient was transferred to the unit. Postoperatively,
the chest was left open because difficulty ventilating the
patient because of COPD intraoperatively and at the time of
operation it was decided to leave the chest open. The
patient was transferred to the CRSU with the chest open. The
chest tube was clotted off postoperatively on postoperative
day number one and stopped draining.
The patient was becoming increasingly difficult to ventilate.
The decision was made to re-explore and evacuate a hematoma
at the bedside on postoperative day number one for which the
procedure was carried out and the patient stabilized. He was
continued on CVVH by the Renal service.
The patient was continued on the .................... stable
state for the next several days without any event. He was on
CVVH on milrinone, epinephrine, Levophed, and was being
paralyzed and sedated for the next several days.
TPN was started on postoperative day number three. On
postoperative day number five, we began to try some trophic
feeds; however, the patient did not tolerate trophic feeds.
On [**2148-2-9**], the patient's cardiac index appeared to be
deteriorating and the decision was made to re-explore the
chest again at the bedside. The procedure was carried out;
1/2 liters of fluid was evacuated from the right pleural
space and some clots were evacuated from the chest tube.
However, since that day on the patient's condition began to
deteriorate rapidly and overnight the patient began to
require several amps of bicarbonate still having a pH of 7.21
on ABG.
Throughout the night of [**2148-2-9**], the patient continued
to require bicarb. He went into A fib and was cardioverted
and went back into A fib again.
Eventually, on the morning of [**2148-2-10**], at approximately
6:30 a.m., the patient went into asystole. Cardioversion was
carried out and several amps of bicarbonate and several amps
of calcium were given. The epinephrine drip was turned up.
Milrinone was turned up to maximum. Pitressin was turned up
to maximum, however, to no avail.
The patient expired on the morning of [**2148-2-10**] at
approximately 6:30 a.m.
DISCHARGE PROCEDURE: Status post coronary artery bypass
graft, MVR and revision.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
2. Mitral valve disease.
3. Hypertension.
4. Pulmonary hypertension.
5. Coronary artery disease.
6. Status post myocardial infarction.
7. Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
8. Cataract.
9. Bladder cyst.

Date of Birth: [**2140-10-11**] Sex: M
Service: Medical Intensive Care Unit, [**Location (un) **] Team
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Shortness of breath.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 49 year old male
initially admitted to the Medicine Service on [**2-3**] with
shortness of breath and spontaneous pneumothorax after
several cycles of Bleomycin for testicular seminoma who was
transferred to the Medical Intensive Care Unit on [**2190-2-5**] for hypoxia.
Briefly, the patient was initially diagnosed with seminoma in
[**2189-7-20**], status post orchiectomy for testicular mass.
Patchular vascular invasion with preoperative Beta HCG 9 that
remained elevated postoperatively. Computerized tomography
scan showed metastatic evidence to chest, neck and abdomen
with both the retroperitoneal and subclavicular
lymphadenopathy. The patient was treated with Bleomycin 180
units, Etoposide and Cisplatin in [**2189-10-19**] to [**2189-12-20**]. This was complicated by pneumonia on [**11-22**] and no
normalization of LDH, acid fast bacillus and Beta GG was
admitted to [**Location (un) **] outside hospital on [**1-10**] to
[**1-15**] with shortness of breath. Chest computerized
tomography scan showed no pulmonary embolism but did show
bronchiectasis and interstitial fibrosis. Pulmonary function
tests showed decrease in his DLCO per the chart. It was
thought that he had drug toxicity. Amiodarone was stopped
and Prednisone 60 mg p.o. q. day was started. The patient
was readmitted to the outside hospital on [**1-27**] through
[**1-29**] with spontaneous pneumothorax and managed
expectantly. He was seen on [**2-1**], felt okay and could
walk [**11-22**] mile. On [**2-2**], after increasing shortness of
breath after coughing he went to the outside hospital. He
had shaking chills, nasal congestion, increased clear sputum
and central chest congestion with occasional wheezing. He
had a son at home with similar symptoms. No orthopnea,
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or edema. The patient had a
74% room air saturation and increased subcutaneous emphysema.
So, a left chest tube was placed with hemi valve.
The patient was transferred to [**Hospital6 2018**] on [**2-3**] where he had a respiratory rate of 27,
saturations 83% on 3 liters to 91%, on 6 liters with an
arterial blood gases of 754, 32 and 68, and was admitted to
the Medicine Service. The patient was started initially on
intravenous Bactrim empirically for primary care physician
given he was on Prednisone 60 as an outpatient and Prednisone
was increased to 80 mg p.o. q. day. Cultures including viral
cultures were sent that were negative to date. Chest
computerized tomography scan showed pulmonary fibrosis and
moderate left pneumothorax with pneumomediastinum emphysema,
soft tissue enlarged pulmonary artery. Cardiothoracic
Surgery was consulted and recommended an existing chest tube
placement of 20 cm of water suction. Echocardiogram was
performed and broad-spectrum antibiotics with Bactrim,
Azithromycin and Ceftriaxone were started empirically. The
patient was with deteriorating oxygen saturation, so the
patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Cardiomyopathy in [**2182**], viral, also per chart from
outside hospital in [**2189-10-19**] had an ejection fraction
of 55%. No mitral regurgitation, trace tricuspid
regurgitation. PA pressure is 25 to 30.
2. Testicular cancer in [**2189-7-20**], radical
orchiectomy, pure seminoma with vascular invasion.
3. Atrial fibrillation treated on Amiodarone discontinued
[**2189-12-20**], secondary to question of pulmonary fibrosis.
4. Depression.
5. History of mild renal insufficiency, baseline creatinine
of 2.5.

soft, nontender, nondistended, no masses. Extremities, warm
bilaterally.
LABORATORY DATA: Pertinent laboratory data revealed white
blood cell count 20.9, hematocrit 41.3, platelets 192, white
cell count differential is 97% polys, 2% lymphs, 2% monos.
INR 1.1, PTT 19.6, creatinine 1.5, potassium 4.3, LDH 362.
Nasal swab viral cultures, pending.
Chest x-ray [**2-5**], increasing left apical pneumothorax
with 20% volume loss, left lower lobe atelectasis, left
pigtail catheter in place, bilateral diffuse interstitial
opacities, blunting of the right costophrenic angle.

right atrial enlargement.
Electrocardiogram, sinus rhythm with a rate of 112, axis -36,
T wave inversions in 3 and 6, biphasic Ts and AVF.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Hypoxia - The patient presented with
diffuse infiltrates concerning for pulmonary fibrosis and
Bleomycin lung toxicity. The patient had been on Amiodarone
which has also contributed and the patient also had a
spontaneous pneumothorax on chest x-ray which was managed
with chest tube placement as per Cardiothoracic Surgery. The
patient was maintained on antibiotic treatments for his
pneumonia, given his sick contacts, also atypical
presentation, given his previous immunosuppression and
therefore the patient was continued on Prednisone. So, the
patient was titrated oxygen. Subsequently, however, the
patient had worsening hypoxia and on [**2-6**], after
extensive discussion with the patient and his wife, the
patient was subsequently intubated given his worsening
respiratory status. The patient continued to be intubated
with worsening hypoxemia throughout the hospital course and
on [**2-10**], an extensive discussion was made with the family
and given the patient's inability to wean off of his FIO2 and
with worsening hypoxia it was agreed upon that the patient
should have comfort care as an ultimate goal for his
hospitalization, and on [**2-10**], the patient was
subsequently placed on Comfort-Measures-Only. The patient's
family was informed.
Subsequently the patient also had some hypotension which was
covered with pressors and on [**2190-2-10**], at 10:26 PM, the
patient had worsening hypoxia and after withdrawal of care,
the patient was found to be unresponsive to deep sternal rub,
no heartsounds were palpable. The patient was warm. The
pupils were fixed and dilated, and subsequently the patient
was declared dead on [**2190-2-10**] at 10:26 PM. Autopsy was
declined per family.
2. History of atrial fibrillation - The patient was
maintained on Amiodarone and Atenolol for rate control.
3. Cardiomyopathy - The patient was maintained on Lasix.
4. Seminoma - The patient was status post three cycles of
Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin. There were no acute
issues to be followed up with Oncology.
5. Renal - The patient's creatinine continued to rise,
likely due to hypotension. The patient's medications were
renally dosed.

ECHO ([**2162-5-16**]):
The left ventricular cavity is unusually small. Due to
suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. Left ventricular systolic function is
hyperdynamic (EF>75%). The right ventricular cavity is markedly
dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
ECHO ([**2162-5-18**]):
The left ventricular cavity is small. Left ventricular systolic
function is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). The right ventricular cavity
is dilated with depressed free wall contractility. The
interatrial septum is markedly thickened around the fossa ovale
secondary to lipomatous hypertrophy. Compared with the findings
of the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2162-5-17**], the
interatrial septum and right atrium are better visualized, and
the mass in the right atrium is now seen clearly to be secondary
to lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
LENI ([**2162-5-16**]):
1. Right popliteal DVT extending to the calf veins.
2. Partially occlusive DVT in the left popliteal [**Last Name (LF) 5703**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] be
subacute, with extension to the calf veins.
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST ([**2162-5-22**]):
No evidence for acute hemorrhage or acute transcortical
infarction.
ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND ([**2162-5-27**]):
1. Diffusely fatty liver markedly limits evaluation for focal
liver lesion although no large liver lesion is identified.
2. Mild splenomegaly to 12.3 cm. No evidence of ascites.
LOWER EXTREMITY ULTRASOUND ([**2162-5-31**]):
Partially occlusive DVT in the left popliteal [**Month/Day/Year 5703**], which has
not significantly changed from [**2162-5-16**].
PLAIN FILMS LEFT HIP AND FEMUR ([**2162-6-1**]):
There is severe degenerative change of the lower lumbar spine.
There are mild degenerative changes of the hip joints. No
fracture is identified.
Incidental note is made of a sclerotic lesion in the distal
femur of unclear etiology. Does the patient have a history of
primary malignancy or metastatic disease?
MRI LEFT LEG ([**2162-6-2**]): (wet read):
Preliminary Report !! WET READ !! 18.7 cm hematoma in left
vastus lateralis muscle. While this may reflect trauma and
anticoagulation, an underlying neoplasm cannot be excluded and
follow-up upon resolution (ie 4 months) is recommended.
Bilateral femoral head avascular necrosis. Sclerotic femur
diaphysis lesion atypical for metastasis though should be
followed radiographically.

Brief Hospital Course:
A 67 yo man with history of NSCLC s/p resection, EtOH, h/o DVTs
on coumadin until one month PTA, recent GIB, now transferred
from OSH with respiratory distress and multiple bilateral
pulmonary emboli.
# Bilateral pulmonary emboli: He presented having a prior
history of DVT, having previously been on coumadin. At the time
of admission, he was in respiratory distress with evidence of
right-heart strain on echo. Given lower extremity clot burden,
IVC filter was placed. On [**5-17**], TPA was administered for
suspected right atrial clot (later found to be lipomatous
hypertrophy of interatrial septum). He was started on LMWH,
awaiting EGD/colonoscopy before initiation of coumadin. He will
continue on anticoagulation (now on heparin) until his
colonoscopy/EGD. As long as there is no active bleeding, he can
be switched to coumadin for long-term anticoagulation.
# Alcohol withdrawal: He has a significant alcohol history. He
was intubated during much of the period of anticipated
withdrawal. After extubation, he was transferred to the floors
(hospital day 10). Although he was tachycardic, he was not
diaphoretic or agitated and his tachycardia was felt to be due
to PE as above, rather than alcohol withdrawal. He did not
require benzodiazepines or CIWA scale monitoring.
# Ventilator associated pneumonia: He began spiking fevers on
[**5-19**] with sputum growing GNR and staph (found to be pansensitive
Citrobacter freundii, sparse Aeromonas and sparse coag+ staph).
The ventilator associated pneumonia was treated with vancomycin
and Zosyn for eight days; course was completed on [**5-28**].
# Clostridium dificile colitis: This was found on stool studies
from [**5-18**]. He was treated with oral vancomycin during the VAP
antibiotic course, and he should continue oral vancomycin to
finish on [**6-7**].
# Recent GIB: Anticoagulation had been stopped one month PTA for
GIB. Per patient his INR was supratherapeutic at that time. He
was restarted on anticoagulation during this admission for DVT
and PE. Plan is to continue heparin for three weeks to allow
time for his pulmonary emboli to dissolve and his clinical
status to stabilize, at which time EGD and colonoscopy can be
done. Of note, he was found to be guiaic positive during this
admission, with brown stools (non-melanotic, non-bloody). His
hematocrit stablized in the mid to high 20s. Also, of note, he
underwent abdominal ultrasound to evaluate extent of liver
disease, also to evaluate for portal hypertension and assess
risk for varices. The ultrasound showed no ascites, a diffusely
fatter liver, and mild splenomegaly.
# Anemia: This is a macrocytic anemia with stabilization of
hematocrit in the mid to high 20s. Hemolytic work-up was
negative. Reticulocyte count was 3.0. Iron was 19 with a TIBC of
166 and ferritin of 232, indicative of deficiency. Folate and
vitamin B-12 were normal. As above, he was guiaic positive. His
anemia is likely a combination of marrow suppression from acute
illness and iron deficiency from recent GIB and poor nutrition.
We have recommended for outpatient colonoscopy and EGD for
further work-up. This is scheduled at [**Hospital1 18**]. He received one
unit of PRBCs on [**6-3**].
# Nose bleed: This occurred in the setting of anticoagulation
with Lovenox. Bleeding resolved after treatment with Afrin
(several squirts) and holding pressure for 20 minutes. Due to
persistent oozing from the left nostril, ENT was consulted. They
recommended for preventative management with aggressive blood
pressure control, saline nasal spray, bactroban vaseline
ointment, and humidified air. If bleeding recurs, several sprays
of Afrin can be delivered to the bleeding nostril, with pressure
held for at least 15 minutes and patient leaning forward.
# Hypoalbuminemia: Albumin was 1.9 on [**5-18**], down from 2.2 at
admission; repeat albumin on [**6-2**] was 2.7. Tbili was 0.4 with
PTT 27.1 and INR 1.0. As above, abdominal ultrasound did not
show signs of cirrhosis; the liver was diffusely fatty. We added
ensure supplement to his diet. Albumin can be followed up as
outpatient.
# Thrombocystosis: His platelet count was trending up to low
800s at time of discharge. We felt that this was likely
secondary to infection and acute inflammatory response. Platelet
levels can be followed up as outpatient after his infection has
been treated.
# Left leg pain and hematoma: He worked with physical therapy
and complained of leg pain over the lateral aspect of his left
thigh. On exam there was tenderness over the left lateral
quadriceps muscle, with small amount of swelling/induration on
left compared to right; there was no clear hematoma or skin
discoloration. There was concern of extension of DVT versus
fracture, given that he said he had fallen on his left leg prior
to admission. Lower extremity doppler ultrasound showed stable
DVT in left popliteal [**Month/Year (2) 5703**]. Plain films of the left hip and
femur showed sclerotic lesion in the distal femur so MRI was
done for further evaluation. This showed an 18 cm hematoma in
the left lateralis muscle. The femoral sclerotic lesion was felt
to be atypical for metastases, but radiology has recommended
follow-up imaging in four months. In addition, vascular was
curbsided and felt that the hematoma could be followed
clinically. We have switched anticoagulation to heparin drip to
allow for ease of stopping anticoagulation if the hematoma grows
in size. Meanwhile, we have outlined the area of induration with
marker (measuring 22cm in length and 8cm in width on our exam)
and recommended that patient have follow-up imaging with
ultrasound in 2 to 3 days to assess for interval change. Daily
CBC monitoring as well will be important to assess for
progression.
# FEN: He was progressed to normal diet, with ground solids and
nectar prethickend liquids.
# Prophylaxis: Anticoagulated as above.
# Code status: Full code.
# Disposition: To rehabilitation facility.

HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a [**Age over 90 **]-year-old
female with a history of critical AS, paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation, hypertension, tachy-brady syndrome, who
presented to the Emergency Room with chest pain. In the ED,
the blood pressure was noted to be elevated at 230-270
systolic. The patient was given sublingual nitroglycerin,
hydralazine, and subsequently her blood pressure decreased
into the 80s. The patient was then noted to have ST segments
in V4 through V6 and substernal chest pain started after
eating. The patient reports that the chest pain was [**10-13**],
squeezing sensation. .................... The patient
reports an episode of similar pain months ago. The patient
denied any dyspnea on exertion, however, she does report
lightheadedness. In the ED, the patient was subsequently
started on Neo-Synephrine.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
2. SVT, tachy-brady syndrome.
3. Hypertension.
4. AS with valve area 0.7 cm squared.
5. Arthritis.
6. TR 2+.
7. MR 2+.
ADMISSION MEDICATIONS:
1. Zantac 150 b.i.d.
2. Lisinopril 10.
3. Aspirin 325.
4. Betoptic.
5. .................... eyedrops.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives with her sister on a
[**Location (un) 1773**] apartment. She denied any smoking, tobacco use.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Vital signs: Temperature
96.8, blood pressure 130/50s, heart rate 80s, respiratory
rate 20, saturating 100% on nonrebreather face mask.
General: The patient is an elderly female. HEENT: Moist
mucous membranes. Her neck was supple. There was slow
upstroke and positive murmur bilaterally. Cardiac: Regular
rate with a harsh 3/4 systolic ejection murmur at the right
upper and lower sternal border. Respiratory: Clear to
auscultation bilaterally. Abdomen: Normoactive bowel sounds
with a transmitted murmur. Extremities: No clubbing,
cyanosis or edema. Neurologic: Nonfocal.
LABORATORY/RADIOLOGIC DATA: Chem-7 with a sodium of 134,
potassium 4.9, chloride 97, bicarbonate 24, BUN 30,
creatinine 1.0, glucose 121. White blood cell count 11.6,
hematocrit 31.2, platelets 264,000, 92.8% neutrophils, no
bands.
On admission, her CK MB was 4. Her troponin was 1.01.
A chest x-ray, AP portable, revealed questionable focal
infiltrate.
The EKG at admission was bradycardiac in the 40s, normal
axis, biphasic T waves in V2, otherwise unchanged.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was with critical AS,
hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, presenting with
substernal chest pain. The patient was admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 196**]
Service for further evaluation and management.
The patient was admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 196**] service and the cardiac
enzymes were cycled and were negative. The [**Hospital 228**]
hospital course has been complicated, while awaiting cardiac
catheterization to evaluate valve for possible coronary
artery disease, by an episode of rapid atrial fibrillation
and hypotension. During the same time, the patient also
developed a fever and an elevated white count and it was felt
that this episode was due to urosepsis. Given persistent
supraventricular tachycardia and hypotension, the patient was
transferred to the CCU.
The patient was started on IV Amiodarone and broad spectrum
antibiotic therapy. The patient's heart rate was improved
and the patient converted back to sinus rhythm. She was
transitioned to p.o. Amiodarone and transferred back to the
floor during this admission. Her urinary cultures
subsequently grew out E. coli and her antibiotics were
adjusted.
The patient did convert back into atrial fibrillation and did
have some pauses noted on telemetry. Electrophysiology
service was recommended. Discontinue Amiodarone. They will
determine the need for a pacemaker in the long run once the
patient resolves her current medical issues. Furthermore, it
was determined not to perform cardiac catheterization during
admission.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Critical aortic stenosis.
2. Urosepsis.
3. Tachy-brady syndrome.
4. Atrial fibrillation.
DISCHARGE STATUS: The patient will be discharged to
rehabilitation.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Please refer to page one.
FOLLOW-UP: The patient is to follow-up with Cardiology per
page one.

Admission Date: [**2161-12-30**] Discharge Date: [**2162-4-25**]
Date of Birth: [**2161-12-30**] Sex: F
Service: Neonatology
HISTORY: This is a 28 and [**1-6**] week twin female #2, delivered
preterm by C-section due to progressive preterm labor. She
was found to be severely growth restricted with a birth
weight of 700 grams. Mother was a 31-year-old G-I, P-0, now
II, blood type O positive, antibody negative, hepatitis B
negative, rubella immune, RPR nonreactive, and GBS unknown.
Rupture of membranes was at delivery and this was an IVF
di/di twin gestation with discordant growth. Mother was
admitted at 24 weeks with cervical shortening and funneling
and found to be 5-6 cm dilated and was brought to section.
This baby emerged with spontaneous cry, requiring only
routine care in the operating room with no supplemental
oxygen needed. Apgars were 8 and 9, and she was transferred
to the NICU for management of her prematurity. In the NICU,
she was initially intubated, given Surfactant, umbilical
lines were placed. She was shortly thereafter extubated to
CPAP and then had a prolonged stay in the NICU which was as
follows.
HOSPITAL COURSE: By systems:
From a respiratory perspective, [**Known lastname **] was initially intubated
and given 1 dose of Surfactant and was quickly extubated to
CPAP on which she remained until day of life 28 when she went
to nasal cannula and then she moved to room air on day of
life 41 and has been in room air ever since. She had some
apnea of prematurity and was on caffeine until day of life 43
after which her apnea of bradycardia resolved. She remains in
room air without desaturation or respiratory symptoms to this
day.
Cardiovascular: From a cardiology perspective, she has had
intermittent murmur throughout her hospitalization. On
[**1-6**], she had an echo with a large PDA and PFO for
which she received indomethacin and subsequently she had a
follow-up echo on [**1-11**], which showed no PDA. As I
mentioned, she has had an intermittent murmur throughout her
hospitalization which is not heard on exam today.
Fluid, electrolytes and nutrition: Initially, the baby was
n.p.o. and was started on TPN and lipids. She slowly worked
up on feeds and subsequently was found to be aspirating when
she learned to orally feed. She had 3 swallowing studies in a
row which showed aspiration with swallowing so a G-tube was
placed by interventional radiology on [**4-16**], or day of life
107. She is receiving G-tube feeding only now and is
continuing to follow with feeding team.
GI: From a GI perspective, [**Known lastname **] had some mild
hyperbilirubinemia for which she received phototherapy. Her
peak bilirubin was 4.1 on day of life 1 and her
hyperbilirubinemia resolved quickly. She has a G-tube that
was placed on [**4-16**], and she had some preoperative labs done
on the day of her G-tube placement on [**4-16**], with a
bilirubin of 0.1, alkaline phosphatase of 488, ALT of 26, AST
of 30, and she has chronic reflux for which she is on
Prilosec 2.4 mg p.g. daily. She is also on Reglan 0.35 mg
p.g. 3 times daily. She has nothing by mouth and working with
feeding team.
Hematology: From a hematologic perspective, she is on iron.
Her last hematocrit was 32.7 on [**4-16**]. She is on 4 mg/kg/day
of iron. She has not received a transfusion. She had
coagulation studies done on the day of her surgery [**4-16**]. PT
was 13.1, INR 1.1 and PTT 38.4.
Infectious disease: From an infectious disease perspective,
[**Known lastname **] initially received ampicillin and gentamicin for 48
hours when she was born. Her cultures did not grow any
organisms and the antibiotics were stopped. Subsequently,
only this week with the G-tube placement when she developed a
cellulitis and some widening erythema as well as a bandemia,
on [**4-17**], with the white blood cell count of 8.6, and 28
bands, 1 metamyelocyte and 1 myelocyte, she was started on
vancomycin and gentamicin. A blood culture and a wound
culture from her G-tube site were sent. The wound culture is
growing is staph aureus as well as staph epi and her blood
culture is no growth to date. She was started on vancomycin
and gentamicin. She is completing a 7 day course. The
erythema is resolving and the infant is stable.
Neurology: From a neurologic perspective, [**Known lastname **] had 3 head
ultrasounds which were all normal, one on [**1-7**], one on
[**1-28**], and one on [**4-1**]. She seems to have some mild
hypertonicity and is fussy at times but her exam is otherwise
normal. It is recommended that she follow up with neonatal
neurology at infant follow up clinic.
Ophthalmology: From an ophthalmologic perspective, [**Known lastname **]
developed some mild retinopathy of prematurity. Her most
recent ophthalmologic exam was on [**3-22**], where she was
mature bilaterally and was to follow up in 9 months. She
never had laser surgery.
Endocrinology: From an endocrinology perspective, [**Known lastname **] was
found to have late onset hypothyroidism when her newborn
screens persisted to be abnormal. She was started on
Synthroid on [**3-5**] and her TFTs have normalized. Her most
recent set were on [**4-16**], with a TSH of 4.1, T4 of 10.8 and
a free T4 of 1.4. After speaking with the endocrinology
fellow today, they recommend that she follow up with [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] 1 month after discharge at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 37116**]. She does
not need to have her thyroid studies checked between now and
1 month after discharge. She had a thyroid ultrasound that
was normal.
Orthopedics: From an orthopedic surgery perspective, [**Known lastname **] had
some subluxation of her right hip on ultrasound on [**3-10**].
She had a follow-up hip ultrasound on [**4-15**], which was
normal and orthopedic surgery fellow is to examine her 1 more
time prior to discharge on [**4-22**], or [**4-23**] and subsequently
she is to follow up in 1 month in orthopedic surgery clinic,
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 38453**].
Feeding: From a feeding perspective, initially it was thought
that [**Known lastname **] had a bit of an oral eversion. Subsequently she
seemed to have aspiration and she had multiple swallowing
studies, all of which showed aspiration, most recently on [**4-8**], when she continued to have aspiration. At that point, the
decision was made to put in a G-tube which was done at
interventional radiology.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Home.
PRIMARY PEDIATRICIAN: Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 17562**], [**Telephone/Fax (1) 42639**].
DISCHARGE PLANNING:
1. Her State screens were normal with the exception of the
thyroid abnormality which is being treated.
2. Her vaccination status, she received her initial
hepatitis B vaccine on [**1-29**]. Her subsequent 2 month
vaccinations were given on [**3-2**], which included
Pediarix, Prevnar and Hib.
3. She has not yet had her hearing test. That test result is
__________.
4. [**Hospital1 69**] social work was
involved with the family. The social worker name is [**Name (NI) **]
[**Name (NI) **] and she can be reached at [**Telephone/Fax (1) **].
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Feeds at discharge include breast milk as well as
fortification with NeoSure to achieve 24 calories per
ounce. Recommend 150 cc per kilogram per day given every
4 hours over an hour and a half through her G-tube. She
needs to receive [**2-1**] mL of water before and after each
feed through the G-tube and care of the G-tube will be
dictated by the interventional radiology team which
placed the tube.
2. Medications at discharge include Prilosec 2.4 mg daily,
Reglan 0.35 mg daily, and Synthroid 25 mcg daily. She
will continue her iron and multivitamin as well. Iron
supplementation is recommended for preterm and low birth
weight infants until 12 months of corrected age and all
infants predominantly fed breast milk should receive
vitamin D supplementation at 200 international units
which may be provided as a multivitamin preparation daily
until 12 months corrected age.
3. Her car seat should be in the back, facing the back,
strapped in.
4. We recommend routine immunizations in addition: Synagis
RSV prophylaxis should be considered from [**Month (only) **]
through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the following 4
criteria: 1. Born at less than 32 weeks, 2. Born between
32 and 35 weeks with 2 of the following: Daycare during
RSV season, a smoker in the household, neuromuscular
disease, airway abnormalities or school age siblings, 3.
Chronic lung disease or 4. Hemodynamically significant
congenital heart disease. Influenza immunization is
recommended annually in the fall for all infants once
they reach 6 months of age. Before this age and for the
first 24 months of the child's life, immunization against
influenza is recommended for household contacts and out
of home caregivers. 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 fewer than 12
weeks of age.
5. Follow up appointments scheduled are endocrinology 1
month after discharge, orthopedic surgery 1 month after
discharge, pediatrician with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 17562**] within the
first week after discharge, feeding team within 3 weeks
after discharge, and interventional radiology as
directed. She also has been referred to early
intervention and she will need ophthalmologic follow up
in 9 months.

Date of Birth: [**2155-1-9**] Sex: M
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 33 week male, Twin #2,
with intrauterine growth retardation who was born to a 43
year old Gravida 4, Para 0 to 2 mother with the following
prenatal screens - Blood type 0 positive, antibody negative,
Rubella immune. The pregnancy was notable for - 1. In [**Last Name (un) 5153**]
fertilization, donor egg; 2. Di-di twins; 3. Discordant
growth with Twin A being significantly larger than Twin B; 4.
Normal AFP and no amniocentesis done. The mother was
admitted on the day prior to delivery due to preterm labor.
She received two doses of betamethasone due to persistence of
variables in Twin B with decelerations. The mother went to
factors and rupture of membranes was at delivery. GBS status
is unknown.
In the Delivery Room this twin emerged crying and active. He
required some Blow-by oxygen in the Delivery Room and
received intermittent positive pressure ventilation due to
decreased air entry. Apgars were 8 at one minute and 9 at
five minutes. He was transported back to the Newborn
Intensive Care Unit for further care.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Physical examination on admission
revealed he had a weight of 1385 gm, length 39.5 cm and head
circumference of 28 cm, all parameters between the 10th and
25th percentile. Heartrate was 160 and respiratory rate was
48 with a 100% oxygen saturation on room air. He is a well
appearing infant, slightly ruddy. His head, eyes, ears, nose
and throat examination showed his anterior fontanelle was
open and flat. He had a normal palate, normal facies.
Cardiovascular, he has normal S1 and S2 and no murmurs, well
perfused. Lung examination showed breathsounds clear,
bilaterally with no retractions. His abdomen was soft,
nontender, nondistended with no hepatosplenomegaly and no
masses. His extremities were warm and well perfused.
Neurological examination showed tone appropriate for
gestational age. Genitourinary examination showed testes
that were palpable in the canal. His anus is patent. Spine
is intact and hips are stable.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Respiratory - The patient remained on
room air throughout his stay.
2. Cardiovascular - He never had issues with hypertension
and has had no spells in the past several days. He is not on
any caffeine.
3. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - The patient is
initially made NPO with total fluid of 80 cc/kg/day. Feeds
were started on day of life #1. He reached full feeds by day
of life #6. On day of life #6 he had two episodes of
hypoglycemia with blood sugars as low as 34. Intravenous
fluids were continued due to this at 20 cc/kg/day on top of
his feeds. In addition, Polycose was added to the formula to
increase his glucose intake. His glucose normalized over the
course of the following 24 hours and intravenous fluids were
discontinued. He is currently on total fluids of 150
cc/kg/day, PE 2 2 cal/oz of which are Polycose. He is also
receiving iron supplementation, all of his feeds are p.g.
4. Gastrointestinal - The patient was started on
phototherapy on day of life 3 with a maximum bilirubin of
7.3. He continues on phototherapy now.
5. Heme - His complete blood count on admission showed a
white count of 5.4, hematocrit 61.2 and platelet count of
151. He has had 53 neutrophils and 0 bands. He has had no
heme issues during his stay.
6. Infectious disease - The patient was started on
Ampicillin and gentamicin due to his prematurity and preterm
labor. His blood cultures remained negative throughout his
stay and the antibiotics were discontinued after 48 hours.
7. Neurology - He has had no neurologic issues during his
stay.
8. Sensory - Hearing screen has not yet been performed.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: The patient can be transferred to
[**Location (un) 745**] [**Location (un) 3678**].
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
PRIMARY CARE PEDIATRICIAN: Not established.
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Feeds at discharge - Total fluids of 150 cc/kg/day of PE
26, 2 cal/oz of which are Polycose.
2. Medications - Iron 0.1 cc q. day which is equal to 2
mg/kg/day.
3. Newborn screen status - Pending.
4. Immunizations received - None.
5. Immunizations recommended - I. Synagis respiratory
syncytial virus prophylaxis should be considered from [**Month (only) 359**]
through [**Month (only) 958**] for infants who meet any of the following three
criteria: A. Born at less than 32 weeks; B. Born between
32 and 35 weeks with plans for daycare during respiratory
syncytial virus season, with a smoker in the household or
with preschool siblings; or C. With chronic lung disease.
Influenza immunization should be considered annually in the
fall for preterm infants with chronic lung disease once they
reach six months of age. Before this age the family and
other caregivers should be considered for immunization
against influenza and to protect the infant.
The patient needs a car seat test before discharge.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Prematurity
2. Rule out sepsis

Chief Complaint:
Altered mental status, hiatal hernia, hepatitis of unknown
etiology
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
1. Several intubations for respiratory failure
2. [**2116-6-5**] laparoscopic reduction of hiatal hernia, repair of
diaphragmatic defect with pledgeted sutures, pexy of stomach to
diaphragm, and laparoscopic liver biopsy
History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known firstname **] [**Known lastname 85535**] is a 52 year old female with a history of
mental retardation and migraine headaches who is transfered from
[**Hospital 792**]Hospital for further management of hepatitis. She
originally presented to [**Hospital **] Hospital on [**2116-4-28**] with an
increase in the frequency of falls and confusion. Her sister and
[**Name2 (NI) 802**] noted subtle changes in her behavior as far back as
[**2115-10-13**] that became increasingly pronounced over the
following months, viral hepatitis work-up was reportedly
negative.
At [**Hospital **] Hospital, the patient had a prolonged and complicated
course with extensive evaluation of her elevated LFTs. She was
noted to have hyperammonemia and was treated with lactulose for
hepatic encephalopathy with some improvement in mental status.
MRI abdomen was unremarkable. Ceruloplasmin, [**Doctor First Name **], AMA, [**Last Name (un) 15412**] were
all normal. Viral hepatitis serologies were negative as was CMV
PCR. Alpha-1 antitrypsin was elevated at 385. She underwent a
liver biopsy on [**2116-4-5**] that showed "ongoing severe liver
injury with extensive hepatocyte damage and resulting collapse.
She underwent endoscopy that demonstrated a 10 cm hiatal hernia
and gastric volvulus with edema and erythema of the stomach and
an erosion at the GE junction. Colonoscopy showed grade IV
internal hemorrhoids and 2 colonic ulcerations that were
ischemic in nature and a 2 mm polyp that was resected. She
required antibiotics (vancomycin and zosyn) to treat HAP and
aspiration PNA. Her LFTs remained abnormal with AST of 146 and
ALT 103. AP peaked at 457. She was transferred, at the request
of her family, to [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2116-5-21**] for further evaluation as
they were still seeking a diagnosis for her illness.
The patient was admitted to the Medicine service on [**2116-5-21**] to
evaluate her liver disease. While on the medicine service, her
hospital course was complicated by ongoing aspiration events
felt to be a result of her large hiatal hernia and esophageal
dysmotility. On [**2116-5-28**], she was intubated and transferred to
the MICU for increasing dyspnea and acute respiratory failure.
She was extubated soon after on [**2116-5-29**] and was treated for
HAP/aspiration pneumonia, but antibiotics were stopped on
[**2116-6-1**]. On [**2116-6-5**], the patient was transferred to the
thoracic surgery service and underwent laparascopic hiatal
hernia reduction with percutaneous liver biospy.
Past Medical History:
- mental retardation of unknown etiology (some work-up at
[**Hospital **] Hosp of [**Location (un) 86**] that was of unclear consequence)
- history of migraine headaches that are associated with nausea
and vomiting and can be debilitating.
- hypercholesterolemia, was formerly on Lipitor.
- history of self-mutilization characterized by picking at skin.
- s/p right inner ear surgery x 2 with implant, [**2112**] and [**2107**]
- ATN, AIN at [**Hospital **] hospital [**4-/2116**]
Recent medical history during this hospitalization:
- Recurrent aspiration pneumonia ([**5-28**] - 18 intubated for ARDS)
- hiatal hernia s/p repair
- gastric volvulus s/p repair
- Right upper extremity phlebitis/cellulitis associated with
PICC
- NASH with Grade III-IV fibrosis
- ARDS and intubation post operatively [**Date range (1) 85536**]/10
- ATN, CVVH with oliguric renal failure (Cr peaked at 3.5)
- Coagulase negative staphylococcal bacteremia ([**6-16**])
- Persistent Leukocytosis of unclear etiology
- Elevated alpha 1 antitrypsin
Social History:
She lives with her sister [**Name (NI) 17**], her [**Name (NI) 802**], and a Burmese
mountain dog. She used to work at a daycare program where she
did manual labor but then was switched to a group that manages
dementia patients as it was thought she might be developing
dementia. She has had diminished ability to perform her ADLs
over the past few months. She has never smoked, no alcohol, and
no drug use.

BARIUM ESOPHAGRAM ([**2116-5-22**]):
1. Severe esophageal dysmotility and reflux.
2. Moderate hiatal hernia.
LIVER BIOPSY, PATHOLOGY ([**2116-5-26**]):
1. Advanced fibrosis (stage 3-4) with extensive bridging,
multifocal incomplete nodule formation (with a rare focus
suggestive of complete nodule formation) and a prominent
sinusoidal component.
2. Moderate lobular neutrophilic inflammation and mild portal
mixed inflammation (score 2).
3. Foci of hepatocyte ballooning degeneration with associated
intracytoplasmic hyalin (score 2).
4. Minimal steatosis (involving <5% of the core biopsy; score
0)
2D ECHO ([**2116-6-1**]):
Mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction consistent
with coronary artery disease.
MRI ABDOMEN & PELVIS ([**2116-6-3**]):
1. No evidence of biliary obstruction.
2. Small amount of perihepatic ascites.
3. Significant dependent body wall edema indicative of
"third-spacing".
RENAL ULTRASOUND ([**2116-6-6**]):
Essentially normal renal ultrasound. No evidence of
hydronephrosis.
DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL; LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US ([**2116-6-9**]):
Major intrahepatic vasculature patent with normal direction of
flow. Slightly coarsened and echogenic liver compatible with the
history of
autoimmune hepatitis. No intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary
ductal
dilatation.
CT CHEST/ABDOMEN/PELVIS ([**2116-6-14**]):
1. Improved aeration of lung parenchyma, with persistent
predominantly basal consolidations and perihilar ground-glass
opacities.
2. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
3. Diffuse body wall edema with mild abdominal and pelvic
ascites without
focal fluid collection.
4. Persistent geographic area of hypoattenuation involving the
medial aspect of segment II and III of the liver of uncertain
etiology. Edema or infarcts could be considered. When clinically
appropriate, if the patient can have a contrast-enhanced CT or
MR examination, depending patient factors, this appearance could
be investigated further. Alternatively, a short-term follow-up
with ultrasound might be able to provide some information and
could provide a baseline for follow-up of the abnormality, if it
is later visualized. Doppler features could also be reassessed
in light of persistence of this abnormality.
5. Left PICC ends in the left brachiocephalic vein.
6. Thickening of the distal colon, involving the sigmoid and
through the
upper rectum, even allowing for underdistension. Differential
considerations include colitis in the appropriate setting or
sequelae of portal congestion. Since the upstream colon is
mildly prominent, the fact that the distal is mild to moderately
narrowed may be causing slight obstruction, although contrast
passes entirely through the area. The whole segment was
collapsed on the last examination, limiting assessment and
comparison. Correlation with clinical factors is recommended.
DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL PORT; LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US ([**2116-6-16**]):
1. Patent hepatic vasculature
2. No focal liver lesion and no biliary dilatation seen.
3. Minimal ascites.
CT ABD/PELVIS ([**2116-6-25**]):
1. No evidence of abscess. Moderate amount of ascites, which has
increased
since the previous study.
2. Small bilateral pleural effusions, which have decreased in
size since the previous study. Adjacent bibasilar atelectasis in
addition to diffuse
ground-glass and patchy opacities at the bases have improved.
3. Small areas of hypoenhancement within segment II and III of
the liver with slight decrease in size of these segments likely
reflects evolving infarct and subsequent scarring corresponding
with the area of hypodensity noted on the previous noncontrast
CT studies.
4. Possible bowel wall thickening of the cecum, new since the
previous study. While this may be due to underdistended bowel,
focal colitis cannot be excluded. Previously described
thickening of the distal colon is not seen on today's study and
may have been due to underdistension on the previous study.
MR HEAD W/ & W/O CONTRAST ([**2116-6-28**]):
Non-specific, nonenhancing focus of high signal on FLAIR and T2
weighted images in the left parietal lobe. The differential
considerations are demyleination, vasculitis or sequlae of small
vessel disease.
MICROBIOLOGY:
[**5-27**] HD catheter - Coag neg staph
[**6-26**] HD catheter - Coag neg staph
[**6-28**] Blood cultures - VRE
Multiple sputum and urine cultures showing undifferentiated
yeast.
Brief Hospital Course:
HOSPICE CARE: Ms. [**Known lastname 85535**] was initially admitted to the
hospital from [**State 792**]after being diagnosed with hepatitis
that was found to be end stage liver disease (cirrhosis) from
NASH. Briefly, her hospitalization course was complicated by
intubation for aspiration pneumonia with subsequent respiratory
arrest. She also underwent a hiatal hernia repair to help
decrease the risk of aspiration, she was in the ICU for
transient shock liver and renal dysfunction. She also developed
VRE sepsis and was finally extubated several prior to her
transition to the floor. Unfortunately her course continued to
deteriorate, she was noted to again be in respiratory distress
likely a combination of aspiration from secretions and a
hypervolemic state. She was also not tolerating oral, NG tube
feeds. Following the onset of NGT feeding her abdomen would
become distended, she would have a fever. After a discussion
with health care proxy and family members the decision was made
for her to be comfort measures only. All non-essential,
non-comforting medications were discontinued. Pt was started on
oral Morphine for pain, oral Ativan for anxiety, Scopolamine
patch to minimize secretions from the Morphine.
- please continue with 5-10mg PO Morpine every 4 hours as needed
for comfort, this may need to be increased pending her
discomfort
- please continue with 1mg Ativan PO every 4 hours for anxiety
- please continue with 3 Scopolamine patches to the neck to
decrease secretions
- please continue with Bisacodyl 10mg PR as needed if the pt
does not have a bowel movement for several days and seems
uncomfortable from constipation
- please continue with Acetaminophen PR as needed for any fevers
PRIOR TO TRANSFER TO THORACIC SURGERY SERVICE/MICU:
# Elevated liver enzymes: liver biopsy pathology slides were
obtained from [**Hospital **] Hospital and reviewed by [**Hospital1 18**] pathology. Full
findings are above. Pathology was consistent with stage 3-4
fibrosis thought to be secondary to NASH.
# Dysphagia, hoarse voice: barium study evaluation revealed a
large hiatal hernia, and OSH upper endoscopy showed possible
gastric volvulus. Patient was continued on PPI [**Hospital1 **] and thoracic
surgery was consulted.
# Respiratory distress, aspiration pneumonia: a respiratory code
was called when patient became increasingly dyspneic and hypoxic
to 85% on the non-rebreather on [**5-28**]. Patient was then
transferred to the MICU and started on HAP coverage with
vancomycin and Zosyn. She was extubated on [**5-29**]. Bronchoscopy
specimens only grew yeast.
# Coag negative staph bacteremia: On [**5-29**] bottle grew GPCs
which turned out to be coag negative staph. Surveilance cultures
were negative, and this was felt to be likely a contaminant.
Patient was initially covered with vancomycin, but this was
stopped on [**6-2**].
# Candiduria: Patient grew [**Female First Name (un) **] from urine, as well as bronch
specimen. Patient received fluconazole IV x 3 days, and foley
catheter was changed.
# Nutrition: After above mentioned aspiration event, patient was
made NPO. Initial speech and swallow found esophageal
dismotility on barium swallow, without coughing and patient was
placed on diet of thin liquids and pureed solids.
# Cellulitis: she presented to the hospital from [**Hospital **] Hospital
with a right arm cellulitis at the site of her previous PICC. We
completed her 7-day course of antibiotics. There were no further
issues.
FROM TRANSFER TO THORACIC SURGERY SERVICE/SICU ([**2116-6-5**]):
KEY EVENTS:
[**6-6**]: Hepatology rec likely volume down, supportive care. Renal
recs likely ATN from hypotension. Renal US no source. TPN.
Vanco inc 1gm q48.
[**6-7**]: Placement of R subclavian CVL, started levo for sbp
support, adequate UO, one dose of lasix 20 mg IV in am, improved
liver function, rising creatinine
[**6-9**]: continues with minimal UOP. Started albumin 25g TID and
lasix drip with improvement in UOP, low dose levophed started to
increase renal perfusion. Fever, sent u/a, ucx, blood cx, cxr.
Ordered for RUQ ultrasound with doppler.
[**6-10**] started CVVH, CT torso, placed HD line, bedside ECHO
[**6-11**] CVVH at bedside, Cr / BUN / weight trending down, INR stable
at 1.5. started vanco, [**Last Name (un) 2830**], fluc.
[**6-12**] continues on CVVH. Now on PSV 10/10 with plan to extubate
[**6-13**]
[**6-13**] off CVVH since am, minimal urine production, improving past
midnight, no vasopressors, febrile to 103.2 -> Blcx, UClx,
sputum, on cpap. Sputum gram stain no organisms.
[**6-14**]: Paracentesis done, 1.5 L of transudative fluid removed.

CT torso without obvious etiology of fevers. Increasing stools
overnight, c. diff sent.
[**6-15**]: had HD performed at bedside with 1.5 L removed. SBT with
5/0 settings. Patient did well for ~45 minutes, then became
tachypnic with desaturation. NO extubation. Became febrile to
104 and received ice packs and fan.
[**6-16**]: HD was cancelled [**1-14**] fever, HD planned for [**6-17**], may not
need renal recs albumin and lasix in interim; we gave lasix 40
mg once with adequate response, hepatology - f/u LFTs, no acute

improving.
[**6-18**]: Urine output continues to improve. Received lasix with
good output, however, afternoon lytes with hypernatremia (147).
Evening lasix held.
[**6-19**]: we D/Ced Fluconazole given completion of course for yeast
cultures. She was cleared for thin liquids and pureed foods with
swallow eval.
[**6-22**]: repeat swallow study was performed demonstrating poor
interest in intake, no aspiration or mechanical issue with
deglutition.
[**6-23**]: last dose of Vancomycin was given in the AM. Blood
cultures were drawn x 2.
FROM TRANSFER TO MICU ON [**6-26**]:
# Respiratory failure: Pt was transferred to the MICU on [**6-26**]
for hypoxic respiratory failure and was intubated. Multiple
sputum cultures and a mini-BAL were negative except for
undifferentiated yeast. Her respiratory failure was
multifactorial, with contributions from her deconditioning after
a long hospital stay, increased intraabdominal pressure from
ileus and ascites, a component of ARDS during her immediate
post-op period, and significant fluid overload from aggressive
rehydration. She was initially >14L positive on arrival to the
MICU. With aggressive diuresis with lasix and metolazone her
respiratory status improved tremendously and she was extubated
to face mask on [**7-11**] and transferred to the floor on [**7-15**] on
nasal cannula.
# Fevers and persistent leukocytosis: Patient had multiple
infectious workups including repeat negative
blood/sputum/urine/catheter tip cultures, negative CT
chest/abdomen/pelvis, negative CT neck, cardiac echo negative
for vegetations. She did have one positive blood culture for
VRE early in her MICU stay. She received a long course of
multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics, including vancomycin,
meropenem, daptomycin, linezolid, flagyl and micafungin. It was
noted that her fevers appeared related temporally to tube feeds
and her fevers seemed to resolve when she was transitioned to
tpn.
# Renal failure: Patient's creatinine was 1.2 upon admission to
the MICU and improved without intervention.
# Constipation/ileus/abdominal distension: Patient had
difficulty with high residuals and persistent fevers seemingly
associated with tube feeds. She had intermittent increased
abdominal distension which was evaluated on multiple abdominal
KUBs, ultrasounds, CT scans which did not show acute abdominal
processes. Diagnostic paracenteses x2 did not demonstrate SBP
and ascites did not increase drastically during her MICU stay.
Thought likely due to ileus and the distension improved with tpn
(tube feeds held,) and erythromycin. Initially lactulose was
effective but this was also held as it was given per NGT and was
poorly absorbed.
# AMS: Presumably hepatic encephalopathy was the cause of
altered MS that led to pt's initial presentation to OSH in mid
[**Month (only) 116**], when pt was found to have elevated LFTs for the first time.
Apparently pt able to communicate with her sister at baseline,
but level/sophistication of this communication unclear. [**Name2 (NI) **]
had repeat negative head CTs and an MRI negative for acute
abnormalities. Her mental status improved only slightly after
extubation; however she never fully regained the ability to
communicate at her reported baseline.
# Anemia: First established at OSH, where EGD/[**Last Name (un) **] negative. Fe
studies consistent with anemia of chronic disease. Did decrease
once during her MICU stay requiring 1U PRBC but remained stable
throughout the rest of her stay in the low/mid 20s. Had one
episode of blood in ETT but no overt signs of significant
hemorrhage.
# Liver fibrosis/NASH: Transaminitis relatively stable during
MICU course, [**Name (NI) 3539**] actually improved while in the MICU.
Paracentesis on [**6-14**] and [**6-30**] negative for SBP. She was continued
on ursodiol and rifaximin for hepatic encephalopathy. She was
initially receiving lactulose, but this was discontinued due to
high residuals in her tube feeds and concern for worsening
abdominal distension.
# Coagulopathy: INR generally 1.5-1.8 with peak 2.1. Platelet
counts normal. Patient most likely had Vit K deficiency from
chronic antibiotics, NPO status, and malabsorption/ileus. There
was no need for reversal of anticoagulation during her MICU
stay.

Discharge Instructions:
You were initially transferred to the hospital for management
for your hepatitis. After being transferred to the hospital we
noted that your hepatitis was actually end stage liver disease
called cirrhosis. You had a complicated hospitalization which
included several intubations after you developed a lung
infection after aspirating, you also had a severe infection
called sepsis and you were in the intensive care unit for a
prolonged time. After your breathing tube was removed you
unfortunately still remained very sick with difficulty
breathing. After talking with your family it was decided that
you should be comfortable and you transferred to comfort
measures only.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 58 year-old female
with a past medical history of type 1 diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, end stage renal disease,
coronary artery disease status post coronary artery bypass
graft who presented from an outside hospital with hypotension
likely secondary to sepsis. She was recently admitted at
[**Hospital1 69**] from [**1-5**] to
[**1-21**] when she had a coronary artery bypass graft done
for three vessel disease with normal EF. Her postoperative
course was complicated by respiratory failure requiring a
tracheostomy, atrial fibrillation, renal failure, requiring
hemodialysis and an embolic cerebrovascular accident
diagnosed on the CT of the head as a right MCA inferior
division stroke. The patient had a G tube placed and was
discharged to [**Hospital3 7665**] [**Hospital3 417**] and as an
outpatient she had been treated for an Enterobacter line
infection with Vancomycin and Cefepime. Cultures seemed to
have been negative. On the 29th the patient had fevers and
hypotension. She was transferred from [**Hospital3 417**] to [**Hospital3 **]. A right femoral line was placed and cultures
were done. The patient had ID consulted and they recommended
discontinuing the dialysis line as they suspected that was
the source of her sepsis and elevated white blood cell count.
The patient was started on neo-synephrine for her hypotension
and transferred to [**Hospital1 69**].

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs on admission her
temperature was 101. Blood pressure 120/40. Heart rate 85.
Respiratory rate 14. She was 99% on room air. Her vent
settings, she was on assist control 500 by 12 with an FIO2 of
40% and a PEEP of 5. In general, she was a pleasant female
lying in bed. HEENT her sclera were anicteric. Her left eye
was nonreactive. Her right eye had surgical cataract
removal. Cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm. Normal S1
and S2. No murmurs, rubs or gallops. Lungs were clear to
auscultation bilaterally. She had suturing staples intact.
Her wound was dry. Abdomen was soft, nontender,
nondistended. Bowel sounds are present. Extremities she had
a right subclavian tunnel catheter and the left femoral
catheter. Neurological she was sedated. She did not
withdraw to pain. She did have doll's eye present.
LABORATORIES ON ADMISSION: BUN and creatinine of 59 and 3.8
respectively. White blood cell count 23 with 78% polys, 4%
lymphocytes, 10 bands. Liver function tests were within
normal limits. Urinalysis was negative. Electrocardiogram
was sinus at 80 beats per minute with a left bundle branch
block and a normal axis.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the Medical
Intensive Care Unit Service.
1. Sepsis: The source was initially felt to be a possible
line infection. She was pancultured. It appeared that the
source of her sepsis was an organism called actinobactor
baummanni. She was placed on Ceptaz, Vancomycin, Flagyl
initially once the organisms was speciated. She completed a
fourteen day course of Unasyn.
2. Mental status: It appeared that her mental status waxed
and waned throughout her admission. The patient did receive
an LP and a repeat head CT, which were both negative. The
Neurology Service was consulted and they felt that an
electroencephalogram should be performed. The
electroencephalogram showed no evidence of focal seizure
activity. She was continued on her Keppra for her history of
seizure disorder. Otherwise no changes were made.
3. Respiratory failure: She was continued on her ventilator
settings throughout hospital admission. She was weaned to
trach collar at the time of discharge. She intermittently
needed to resume pressure support ventilation. However, on
the Friday prior to discharge she did have what is likely an
aspiration event. She was kept on assist control for three
days and then transitioned back to trach collar, she
tolerated well.
4. Diabetes mellitus: She was continued on sliding scale
insulin for some period of time. She was on an insulin drip.
Daily insulin requirements were converted to Glargine and
sliding scale insulin. The patient's blood sugars were well
controlled at the time of discharge.
5. Renal failure: The patient continued hemodialysis per
her normal routine throughout her admission. A new tunneled
left subclavian catheter was placed.
6. Coronary artery disease: The patient has a history of
coronary artery disease. She was continued on her aspirin
and Plavix.
7. History of atrial fibrillation: She was continued on her
Amiodarone.
8. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: She was maintained
on her tube feeds. The day prior to discharge the
concentration of protein was increased in her tube feeds.
9. Surgical: During the [**Hospital 228**] hospital course the
patient's sternotomy wound began to open. The patient was
taken to the Operating Room for surgical debridement of her
sternotomy wounds. The patient tolerated this procedure
well. She had four JP drains in. These were followed by
plastic surgery. The JP drains were discontinued when they
put out less then 30 cc per day respectively. She will
follow up with Plastic Surgery as an outpatient.
10. Prophylaxis: The patient had a left PICC line placed
for intravenous antibiotics, which will be discontinued prior
to discharge to rehab.
The patient remained full code throughout her admission and
communication was with her niece who is her health care
proxy.
DISCHARGE TO: The patient was discharged to an extended care
facility.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: She is to follow up with her primary
care physician in the next three to four weeks and follow up
with surgery as directed.
FINAL DIAGNOSES:

CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST [**2122-1-1**] 3:31 PM
IMPRESSION:
1. Progression of disease compared to [**2121-11-12**], with
marked bronchovascular thickening suggestive of worsening
lymphangitic spread of disease.
2. Soft tissue mass in the right lower lobe (series 3 image 23)
that is increased when compared to [**2121-11-12**].
3. Tissue density within both hila and adjacent to the carina
that have an appearance suggestive of lymphadenopathy that has
worsened compared to the previous examination.
4. Unchanged destruction and soft tissue density involving 2
left-sided lateral ribs.
5. Slightly increased size of a left-sided pleural effusion with
unchanged right-sided effusion/pleural thickening. The
thick-walled air-filled cavity within the right lung apex has
decreased in size compared to [**2121-11-12**], within both
lungs suggestive of hydrostatic edema.
6. Several low attenuation lesions within the liver that are
suspicious for metastatic disease.
CT BONE BX SUPERFICIAL [**2122-1-2**] 2:07 PM
IMPRESSION:
1. Successful 15-gauge core biopsy of a soft tissue mass within
a left-sided rib, as discussed above.
2. Stable pleural effusions and diffuse lung disease within the
partially imaged chest, as previously described on multiple
recent chest CT exams.
3. Multiple low-attenuation masses within the partially imaged
liver. Although this CT-guided biopsy procedure did not include
an exhaustive evaluation of the liver parenchyma, these lesions
are highly suspicious for metastatic disease. They do not appear
significantly changed from the most recent chest CT exam, but
they cannot be identified on the contrast-enhanced chest CT exam
of [**2121-9-4**]. Clinical correlation and comparison with any previous
outside exams is recommended.
SPECIMEN SUBMITTED: RIB FNA BX
DIAGNOSIS:
Rib, FNA biopsy:
Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma consistent
with lung origin.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 65 year old female with a complicated thoracic history
who was admitted with mental status changes and nausea several
days after being discharged status-post an Eloesser flap closure
of a right chest empyema. Cultures on admission were notable for
Klebsiella in her urine and Klebsiella and MRSA in her sputum.
Blood cultures were all negative while subsequent sputum
cultures and culture of drainage fluid from her Right chest
revealed continued Klebsiella and MRSA; a subseqenet urine
culture after admission was negative. She was started on Zosyn
and Vancomycin treatment. Her CT scan of her head was
unremarkable. She had a creatinine of 2.7 on her admission which
was not remarkable from her prior admission earlier in the
month, and she had a dylantin level of 7.9. She was also noted
to be hypoxia on admission with desaturation to 80% on maximum
nasal canula flow; this improved when she was placed on a
non-rebreather face mask. Her mental status improved with
improvement in her respiratory status. She underwent a
bronchoscopy on [**2121-11-11**] which demonstrated malacia and
secretions in her right lower and right middle lobe. On [**2121-11-18**]
she underwent exploratory right thoracotomy. This demonstrated
an anterior compartment in the apex of her right pleural space
that was well-healed and granulating, but a posterior
compartment with moderate amount of debris not draining through
a pigtail catheter. A Malecot catheter as well as [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 406**] drain
were placed in the posterior compartment after decortication of
tissue. She received irrigation of the posterior compartment
through the [**Doctor Last Name 406**] drain for several days post-operatively, with
drainage coming out of the Malecot drain; the [**Doctor Last Name 406**] drain was
eventually removed and irrigation was continued intermittantly
through the Malecot drain. Post-operatively the patient had good
pain control. She did not pass her initial post-operative
swallow studies, however she eventually demonstrated tolerance
of thin liquids post-operatively and she was started on a
regular diet. Her discharge plan was to continue with IV
antibiotic coverage for Klebsiella and MRSA, coumadin for a
right IJ clot diagnosed in early [**10-30**], intermittent irrigation
of her apical right pleural compartment through her Malecot
drain, and a regular diet in small meals. She will be discharged
to rehab with planned follow-up with thoracic surgery. On [**11-26**],
however, Pt had suddent onset of bleeding and hemoptysis with
INR of 4.8. An anesthesia code called, pt intubated, given 3U
PRBCs, 2U FFp, and factor VII given. Pt transferred to the CSRU.
Bronchoscopy done on [**11-27**] with evidence of clot but no active
bleeding in the LUL/LLL. Believed to be caused by erosion of the
tube into the PA. Pt transferred to the SICU on [**11-28**]. Supportive
care continued, with TF, mechanical ventilation, b-block for
arrhythmia. Pt spiking fevers while in SICU, started on Vanc and
Zosyn. Pt began to stabilize hemodynamically, however
respiratory status continued to be unstable. Sputum cx after
bronch on [**12-3**] and [**12-4**] positive for klebsiella pneumonia. Pt
started on meropenem and continued on vanc. Pt began improving
and after a successful spontaneous breathing trial pt extubated
on [**12-10**]. A bedside swallow eval performed on [**12-10**], which the
pt failed secondary to frequent coughing. Pt reintubated on
[**12-12**] for increasing respiratory distress. A Bronch performed
which showed mod mucous plugs and increased secretions. A
specimen sent at that time was postivie for coag+ staph aureus.
Pt then self-extubated on [**12-14**], but was able to tolerated
extubation with aggressive pulmnary toilet. Pt with waxing and
[**Doctor Last Name 688**] mentition at this time, attributed to ongoing pulmonary
infections and medications. Pt then reintubated due to increased
labored breathing on [**12-19**]. Bronch performed on [**12-20**] and [**12-22**]
with bronchomalacia, however no stent placed at this time. A
trach was placed on [**12-24**] due to hi-frequency pulmonary toilet
and frequent intubations. Vanc and meropenem d/c'd on [**12-25**]. CT
chest done on [**1-1**] with evidence of increasing mass lesion on two
left lateral ribs. A biopsy was performed which showed
metastatic disease. Family meeting convened with decision made
to send patient home with home mechanical ventilation and
comfort measures.

History of Present Illness:
61-year-old female who is well-known to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] from previous
outpatient visits and outpatient complications. The patient has
been followed longitudinally in the brain tumor clinics for a
recently-diagnosed skull base lesion. The patient had shown
progressive neurological deterioration of her vision, and was,
therefore, felt to be a candidate for surgical decompression
albeit the degree of compression of the optic nerve from the
diagnosed lesion remained unclear. The patient was extensively
counseled. The patient was consented. The patient was taken
electively to the operating room.

IMAGING:
MRI (Head)[**2120-6-27**](post-resection):
FINDINGS: A comprehensive evaluation of the brain was not
performed with this study, which was targeted for pre-operative
planning. There is a homogeneously enhancing extra-axial lesion
arising from the left paramedian planum sphenoidale, medial to
the pre-chiasmatic segment of the left optic nerve, unchanged
since the previous study. It measures 6 mm AP x 5 mm transverse
x 3 mm craniocaudad. There is no evidence of optic nerve
displacement, although high-resolution imaging of the
suprasellar region was not performed. There is an ill-defined
subcentimeter enhancing lesion in the left centrum semiovale,
unchanged dating back to [**2119-6-20**] (series 5, image 19, and
series 4, image 22). Based on its signal characteristics on
previous complete head MRIs, it may represent a vascular
malformation such as a capillary telangiectasia.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small extra-axial mass arising from the left paramedian
centrum semiovale is again demonstrated for pre-operative
planning. It is most compatible with a meningioma.
2. Unchanged ill-defined contrast-enhancing lesion in the left
centrum
semiovale, most likely representing a vascular malformation such
as a
capillary telangiectasia.
CT Head [**2120-6-26**]:
FINDINGS: In the region of the sella is amorphous hyperdense
material (70
[**Doctor Last Name **]) in the expected location of the pituitary gland. The
presence of
hyperdense material in this region is concerning for pituitary
hemorrhage.
Additional possibilities include hemorrhage from adjacent
vessels into this region or retained Surgicel or other surgical
packing material. No other areas concerning for acute hemorrhage
are present. Patient is status post left frontal craniotomy with
a small volume right and moderate volume left frontal
pneumocephalus and possible packing material along the left
frontal convexity, causing mild degree of sulcal and gyral
effacement. There is no shift of normally-midline structures.
Ventricles and sulci appear unchanged in size or configuration
compared to pre-operative MRI examination. There are no foci
concerning for acute territorial ischemia.
Surgical staples are noted along the left frontotemporal scalp
with underlying subcutaneous emphysema in the soft tissues, not
unexpected post-surgical finding. Osseous structures are
otherwise intact. Paranasal sinuses and mastoid and ethmoid air
cells are well aerated.
IMPRESSION:
1. Hyperdensity in the sella in the region of the pituitary
gland, concerning for pituitary hemorrhage. Alternative
diagnoses include hemorrhage from adjacent vessels into this
region or retained surgical packing material. No other findings
concerning for acute hemorrhage are present.
2. Bifrontal pneumocephalus, left greater than right. Left
frontal
pneumocephalus causes mild sulcal and gyral effacement. There is
no shift of midline structures and no herniation.
3. Left frontal craniectomy with overlying subcutaneous gas in
the soft
tissue.
Brief Hospital Course:
This patient was admitted to the neurosurgery service electively
for a meningiom resection. She had no complications in the OR
and went to the ICU post-operatively. The following day the
patient had nausea and vomiting as well as a severe headache.
Her pain medications were adjusted and she was given
antiemetics. Her nausea resolved and her headache improved. The
patient was then transferred to the neurosurgical floor on [**6-27**].
Her post-op MRI showed no infarction and the resection appeared
to be complete. On [**6-28**] the patient had some drainage from the
incision so there were staples added to the wound closure. The
patient remained neurologically stable and physical therapy felt
that she was safe to be discharged to home. She was discharged
with her family on [**2120-6-29**].

The patient received ceftriaxone 2 grams, Vancomycin 1 gram
and a total of 6 mg of Ativan and 5 mg of Haldol, Tylenol and
the patient was admitted to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] secondary to unstable oxygen
saturation.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Obtained from [**Hospital6 **].
1. End-stage renal disease on hemodialysis.
2. Chronic anemia, secondary to renal disease. Baseline
hematocrit of 28 to 32.
3. Chronic thrombocytopenia, baseline platelets between 70
to 80.
4. Hypertension.
5. Hepatitis B and C.
6. Myocardial infarction at age 21.
7. Peripheral vascular disease.
8. Abdominal aortic aneurysm 3.9 cm measured in [**2163-3-24**].
9. Status post appendectomy.
10. Cholelithiasis.
OUTPATIENT MEDICATIONS:
1. Nephrocaps one capsule p.o. q. day.
2. Pantoprazole 40 mg p.o. q. day.
3. Sevelamer 400 mg p.o. three times a day.
4. Amlodipine 10 mg p.o. q. day.
5. Docusate 100 mg p.o. twice a day.
6. Percocet p.r.n.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission, temperature 98.4 F.;
blood pressure 134/75; heart rate ranging between 91 to 126;
respiratory rate 18; O2 saturation 92% on room air. The
patient was a confused, cachectic, combative male. Pupils
about 3 mm. There is a question of being unreactive. Unable
to assess oral cavity. Neck is difficult to examination with
a question of stiffness. Lungs clear to auscultation
bilaterally. Heart: Regular rate, S1, S2, no murmur. Belly
is soft, nontender, nondistended; positive bowel sounds. Has
several old scars. Rectal examination is guaiac positive.
Extremities have left fistula with thrill and bruit and has a
right surgical incision oozing serosanguinous fluid and
indurated. Neurologic examination was difficult as the
patient was uncooperative, somnolent, but easily aroused,
agitated, nonverbal, moving all four extremities. Strength
intact; three plus reflexes throughout. No clonus. Toes
were downward.
LABORATORY: On admission, pertinent labs included white
blood cell count 11.1, hematocrit 32.4, platelets 95, MCV of
103. Chem-10 was sodium of 139, potassium 4.7, chloride 92;
bicarbonate 25, BUN 11, creatinine 6.2, glucose 100, anion
gap of 22, INR of 1.1. CK 107, troponin 0.03.
Serum toxicology was negative.
The patient had an EKG showing sinus tachycardia at 122;
normal axis and intervals. Has left ventricular hypertrophy
by voltage, one to two mm ST depression in V4 through V6 and
II. No Qs.
Chest x-ray was clear but has motion artifacts.
MRI of the head on [**3-25**], showing chronic microvascular
infarction; no acute infarction. CT scan of the head on [**3-24**], was negative for hemorrhage. His white matter change was
consistent with microvascular angiopathy.
The patient had an echocardiogram done on [**3-27**] showing
there is a mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and
overall left ventricular systolic function is normal. Left
ventricular ejection fraction greater than 55%. Mild aortic
regurgitation and trivial mitral regurgitation. No evidence
of endocarditis seen.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. ALTERED MENTAL STATUS: Differential diagnosis including
syncope, seizures, stroke, HSV encephalitis, alcohol
withdrawal or illicit drug use. The patient improved back to
his baseline after staying in the Intensive Care Unit for two
days and then was transferred to the floor. Both CT scan and
MRI of the head showing old infarction; no acute hemorrhage
or infarction. Given his history of poly-substance abuse,
this could be from the drug use, although the serum
toxicology was negative. The lumbar puncture was negative
for bacterial culture and viral culture and later returned
also negative. The patient was originally started on
Acyclovir due to suspicion of possible HSV infection,
encephalitis and was discharged after viral culture returned
to be negative.
2. RULE OUT MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: The patient has [**Street Address(2) 4793**]
depression V4 through V6 and II, but has three sets of stable
CK and troponin. The echocardiogram showed normal left
ventricular function with only one plus AR and trivial mitral
regurgitation; otherwise unremarkable.
3. GUAIAC POSITIVE STOOL: The patient had a hematocrit drop
slightly below 25 from a baseline of 28. Was transfused with
one unit of packed red blood cells. We recommend outpatient
endoscopy and colonoscopy. Given that the patient is a
regular [**Hospital6 **] patient, it would be more
beneficial for him to go to the [**Hospital6 **] system
so the record will stay there.
4. END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE ON HEMODIALYSIS: He has received
hemodialysis on Monday and Wednesday during his hospital
stay.
5. THROMBOCYTOPENIA OF UNKNOWN CAUSE: This has been a
chronic problem for the patient. At discharge, platelet
level is 78.
6. ANEMIA: The patient has chronic anemia secondary to
end-stage renal disease. Iron studies are consistent with
anemia of chronic disease. Has normal folate and B12 levels.
Will just continue monitoring and transfuse if less than 25.
7. HYPERTENSION: The patient's blood pressure was on the
higher end and only on Amlodipine 10 mg p.o. q. day. Will
recommend him to add another [**Doctor Last Name 360**]. His primary care
physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) 56081**], was notified by his nurse in the
[**Location (un) 56082**] Center. The patient had a high blood
pressure while in the hospital and recommend monitoring and
adding another [**Doctor Last Name 360**] for better control of his blood
pressure.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 33681**] is a 84 year old male with severe aortic stenosis
(valve area of 0.9 cm2; LVEF of 50-55%; peak velocity of 2.0 m/s
based on TTE on [**2160-6-9**]) and [**Year (4 digits) **] III/IV COPD (FEV1 46% of
predicted on [**4-/2160**] PFTs), Coronary artery disease s/p NSTEMI
with peaked troponin of 0.23 in [**7-/2159**] and inferior wall motion
abnormality in TTE (08/[**2158**]).
.
He presents to the ED with two day history of shortness of
breath. He reports having increased lower extremity swelling,
paroxysmal noctural dyspnea, two pillow orthopnea, whitish
productive sputum and abdominal distention over past two days.
He does not report fever, chills, pleuritic chest pain,
palpatations, dizziness, syncope or sick contacts. [**Name (NI) **] reports he
has been using his inhaler more frequently yesterday without any
help. Of note they were at his son's house for [**Holiday **]
dinner. Patient and family do not report any sick contacts or
high salt intake. No history of eating outside.
.
In the ED, initial VS were: 98.2 97 131/61 30 96%. EKG showed
sinus rhythm at rate of 90 with prolong AV delay and LBBB which
is similar to his previous EKG (01/[**2159**]). No ST-T changes
compared to prior. CXR showed pulmonary vascular congestion with
cephalization of vessels. Labs significant for normal WBC,
creatinine at baseline of 2.3, troponin of 0.07, BNP of 2776, Mg
of 1.4 and lactate of 4.0
.
He was treated for COPD exacerbation with IV methylprednisolone
125 mg x 1; azithromycin 500 mg IV x 1; albuterol/ipratropium q1
nebs. He also received IV lasix 20 mg x 1 for acute on chronic
systolic heart failure though no urine output was noted. CPAP
with 4LNC was started to help with respiratory distress from
acute on chronic systolic heart failure and COPD exacerbation.
He was transferred for further evaluation and management of
hypoxemic respiratory distress. His vitals prior to transfer
were afebrile 87 127/72 24 99-100% CPAP 4LNC.
.
On arrival to the MICU, he reports feeling better after CPAP and
therapeutic regimen in the ED. Extensive discussion revealed he
would not like to be intubated or have cardiac resuscitation
which was confirmed with wife and HCP [**Doctor First Name 12239**] at bedside. He is
ok with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation mask like CPAP
and BPAP. He reports having daily bowel movement. His baseline
shortness of breath is with walking to the bathroom which has
worsened to any activity over past two days.
.

MICRO:
Blood Cultures ([**2161-10-12**]) x2: NGTD
Urine Culture ([**10-12**]): No growth
MRSA screen: negative
STUDIES:
ECG ([**10-12**]):
Moderate baseline artifact. Because of the baseline artifact, it
is difficult to identify atrial activity. The rhythm is regular
at a rate of 98 beats per minute. Probably normal sinus rhythm.
Complete left bundle-branch block. Possible prolonged A-V
conduction. Compared to the previous tracing of [**2159-8-8**] no
diagnostic interval change.
CXR Portable ([**10-12**]):
FINDINGS: There is a focal area of hazy opacity in the left
lower lobe with loss of the left cardiac margin. This finding
appears unchanged when compared to prior radiographs on NCT.
There is prominent bronchopulmonary vascular markings with
possible interstitial edema in the peripheral interlobular
septa. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The imaged
osseous structures are intact. There is no free air below the
right hemidiaphragm.
IMPRESSION: Mild pulmonary vascular congestion and interstitial
edema
compatible with CHF.
ECHO ([**10-13**]):
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with basal to mid inferolateral hypokinesis.
[Intrinsic left ventricular systolic function is likely more
depressed given the severity of valvular regurgitation.] The
right ventricular cavity is dilated with normal free wall
contractility. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus
level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets are moderately thickened with mild to moderate aortic
stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate to severe (3+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. Severe [4+] tricuspid regurgitation is
seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be
determined. Significant pulmonic regurgitation is seen. There is
no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2160-6-9**],
the left ventricular wall motion abnormality is new and there is
now associated prominent mitral regurgitation that is likely
ischemic (post-infarction).
CXR ([**10-14**]):
FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest. Mild cardiomegaly,
compared
with [**2157**], the heart size has increased and the left atrium and
left ventricle are more prominent. Previously seen mild
interstitial pulmonary edema has decreased compared with
[**2161-10-12**]. Aortic valve calcifications. No pleural effusion. No
pneumothorax. No infiltration. The mediastinal and hilar
contours are normal.
IMPRESSION:
1. Decrease in pulmonary edema compared with [**2161-10-12**]. No
infiltrate.
2. Mild cardiomegaly, compared with [**2157**], the heart size has
increased and the left atrium and left ventricle are more
prominent.
Brief Hospital Course:
=======================
BRIEF HOSPITAL SUMMARY
=======================
Mr. [**Known lastname 33681**] is a 84 year old male with severe aortic stenosis,
COPD, CAD s/p NSTEMI in [**2158**] p/w shortness of breath, most
likely from COPD exacerbation.
=======================
ACTIVE ISSUES
=======================
# COPD excacerbation: Pt was treated with levalbuterol and
ipratropium nebs, azithromycin x 5 days and prednisone 40mg
daily x 5 days. He has 2 days remaining at time of discharge.
Lung symptoms improved. He was still wheezing at discharge, but
per patient and family, he was improved compared to his
baseline. Pt was sent home on ambulatory O2 of 1L when
ambulating.
# Shortness of breath/acute on chronic systolic CHF: The
patient's shortness of breath most likely due to COPD
exacerbation. He also had a smaller component of pulmonary edema
from acute on chronic systolic heart failure. He was initialy
admitted to the MICU where the patient was intially started on
diueresis with Lasix bolus of 40 mg IV, but was soon started on
a Lasix drip with goal net negative output of 2 liter. He was
also given prednisone 40mg daily and azithromycin along with
levalbuterol and ipratropium nebs for COPD. The patient's O2
requirement improved with his diueresis and upon transfer to the
floor, he was breathing comfortably on nasal cannula. While
being diuresed, [**Hospital1 **] lytes were checked and repleted. His rate
control was also increased, as metoprolol was started at 25 mg
q8, with target heart rate in the 80s to ensure adequate time
for diastolic filling. This was then stopped as it seemed to
exacerbate his underlying lung disease.
# Severe aortic stenosis and diastolic dysfunction/CAD: Pt
declines any invasive procedures or surgical interventions.
Troponin were elevated, appropriate for his renal failure. MB
was flat. His echo showed some inferolateral hypokinesis which
likely reflects a prior MI within the last year ([**2159**] echo
negative). Pt does not want any cardiac catheterization
procedures. Continued on ASA 81. Pt declines to take his statin.
Stopped his metoprolol on this admission since it seemed to
exacerbate his COPD symptoms.
# Lactic acidosis: Lactate initialy 4.0, improved to 1.0.
Likely due to acute low perfusion state from acute on chronic
systolic heart failure and severe aortic stenosis.
Acute Renal Failure/ CKD: Baseline Cr 2.2-2.5. While in MICu, he
was started n lasix drip for pulmonary congestion. His symptoms
improved and lasix drip was stopped. While on drip, Cr
increased, bicarb increased, K decreased, suggesting
over-diuresis. Lasix was stoped and Cr stabalized at 3.0. He has
renal follow up.
# HTN: Stopped his home HCTZ on this admission since BP stable
on current medications. Also stopped his metoprolol since seemed
to exacerbate his COPD. Continued his amlodipine 10mg daily.
Lasix was held and may be resumed when Cr improves to baseline.
#Anemia: Pt found to have anemia that is likely combination of
Fe def anemia and from CKD. [**Name (NI) **] pt start ferrous sulfate [**Hospital1 **]
and will fu with nephrologist to discuss if he would benefit
from Epo supplementation. Workup for iron deficiency can be
considered outpatient, although pt and family do not want any
invasive procedures.
==========================
INACTIVE ISSUES
==========================
7. HLD: Atoravastatin discontinued during last admission.
Appropriate considering age and comorbidity with risk/benefit.
Pt does not wish take his statin.
8. BPH: Continued tamsulosin 0.4 mg po qhs
=============================
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
=============================
1. Fe Deficiency anemia: can discuss with pt whether or not to
work this up. Started Ferrous Sulfate
2. Acute Renal Failure: [**Hospital1 **] checking Cr on post-discharge visit
to see if it trends down. Pt's ARF likely from over-diuresis.
3. MEDICATION CHANGES:
STOP: Metoprolol, this is likely making your wheezing and lung
COPD worse.
STOP: Hydrochlorothiazide, your blood pressures do well without
this medication. Your primary care doctor can consider
restarting this medication outpatient.
STOP: stop Lasix for now. You have no fluid in your lungs and
you do not need this at this time. However, your primary care
doctor may wish to resume this medication when your kidney
function returns to normal.
START: Iron supplentation: you have anemia from low iron and we
recommend you take iron supplements
START: Azithromycin- this is an antibiotic for your reason lung
infection. You will take this for 2 more days.
START: Prednisone 40mg daily. This is for your emphysema flair.
You will take this for 2 more days.
START: LevAbluterol nebulizer. You can take this instead of your
albuterol inhaler since it is easier to take and allows more of
the medicine to go to your lungs. You can take the ipratropium
nebulizer instead of your atrovent inhaler and instead of the
combivent inhaler.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 33681**],
It was a pleasure taking care of you.
You were admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath. We
treated you for both an exacerbation of COPD and also for an
acute on chronic episode of heart failure.
While in the hospital, you had an echocardiogram. We diuresed
you (removed fluid) and gave you nebulized breathing treatments
and azithromycin; and your breathing improved significantly.
You should weigh yourself every day, and call your doctor if you
gain more than 2 pounds in one day.
Your kidney function is a little worse then usual but is stable
these last 2 days of your hospitalization. We anticipate that it
will improve over the next few days now that you are no longer
on the lasix medication. Please make sure to follow with your
primary care doctor who will check your kidney function. We
scheduled an appointment for you to see a kidney doctor in the
next 2 weeks.
You should continue taking all of your medications as you had
prior to your hospitalization, except:
STOP: Metoprolol, this is likely making your wheezing and lung
COPD worse.
STOP: Hydrochlorothiazide, your blood pressures do well without
this medication. Your primary care doctor can consider
restarting this medication outpatient.
STOP: Lasix for now. You have no fluid in your lungs and you do
not need this at this time. However, your primary care doctor
may wish to resume this medication when your kidney function
returns to normal.
START: Iron supplentation: you have anemia from low iron and we
recommend you take iron supplements
START: Azithromycin- this is an antibiotic for your reason lung
infection. You will take this for 2 more days.
START: Prednisone 40mg daily. This is for your emphysema flair.
You will take this for 2 more days.
START: LevAbluterol nebulizer. You can take this instead of your
albuterol inhaler since it is easier to take and allows more of
the medicine to go to your lungs. You can take the ipratropium
nebulizer instead of your atrovent inhaler and instead of the
combivent inhaler.

History of Present Illness:
67 y/oM with PMH CAD, afib, DM, spinal cord atrophy who
presented to the ED with lethargy x 4-5 days and was found to be
hypoxic with presumed multifocal PNA and afib in RVR.
For the past 4-5 days, patient has been complaining of fatigue
with decreased PO intake. Also developed wet cough productive
of clear sputum. On the day prior to admission, his caregiver
found him unable to get off the commode and tilting to the left.
Today, he was too tired to get out of bed so his partner [**Name (NI) 4662**]
him to the [**Name (NI) **].
In the ED, initial VS: 13 98.8 104 139/98 32 86% 4L NC. He
triggered for hypoxia and was placed on 100%NRB with sats rising
to 100%. CXR revealed multiple patchy opacities in left lung,
blood and urine cultures were drawn and patient was given dose
of vancomycin/ levofloxacin. Neurology was consulted given
trunchal ataxia on exam and did not feel that presentation was
consistant with an acute intracranial event, recommending
treating underlying illness. ED course c/b development of afib

Imagings
CXR ([**2146-2-7**]): Markedly limited study. There is suggestion of a
dense
consolidation of the left lower and mid lung zones. This may
represent
pneumonia. If clinically feasible, consider PA and lateral views
in the
radiology suite for better characterization.
CT Head ([**2146-2-7**]):
1. Prominent ventricles, non-[**Last Name (LF) 61910**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] represent normal
pressure
hydrocephalus in the appropriate clinical setting. Clinical
correlation
recommended.
2. No other acute intracranial process identified.
TTE ([**2146-2-9**]): Mild symmetric LVH with normal regional and
global biventricular systolic function. Moderate tricuspid
regurgitation. Mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
CXR ([**2146-2-10**]): Worsening right upper lobe and left mid and
lower lung opacities, consistent with worsening pneumonia.
CXR ([**2146-2-18**]): As compared to the previous radiograph, there is
minimal
improvement of the pre-existing mainly perihilar and left
lateral parenchymal opacities. The extent of the retrocardiac
atelectasis, potentially combined with a small pleural effusion,
is unchanged. On the right, the parenchymal opacities have
apparently decreased in extent. No evidence of newly appeared
parenchymal opacities. Unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette.
Unchanged position of the endotracheal tube and the nasogastric
tube.
Brief Hospital Course:
67 year old male with coronary artery disease s/p PCI, atrial
tachycardia s/p failed ablation, diabetes mellitus type II
complicated by neuropathy leading to spinal cord atrophy who
presented to the ED with lethargy x 4-5 days and was found to be
hypoxic with presumed multifocal PNA and atrial
fibrillation/tachycardia with RVR.
# Hypotension, resolved: BP on arrival to ICU was 70/50 in the
setting of likely multifocal pneumonia seen on CXR and volume
depletion in the setting of poor oral intake. Bedside echo
showing hyperdynamic ventricles and respiratory variation in IVC
filling pressures on admission consitent with hypovolemia. He
was aggressively fluid resuscitated by early goal directed
protocol with MAP > 65. He was started on Levaquin for community
acquired pneumonia and cefepime for Gram negative coverage in
setting of chronic aspiration. He was ruled out for ACS with
three sets of enzymes. Random and am cortisol showed
appropriate adrenal function. His hypotension resolved with
fluid resuscitation and never needed pressors. He was
normotensive off medications.
# Hypoxia, resolved: Persistent hypoxia to mid-80s on RA in the
ED, likely [**3-9**] underlying multifocal PNA which is visualized on
CXR. Hx of recurrent PNA suggestive of repeat aspiration
events. Alternatively, patient with risk factors, peripheral
neuropathy and multiple bacterial infections is also at risk of
HIV which was sent. He was started on levaquin for CAP and
cefepime for gram negative coverage in setting of chronic
aspiration. Pt improved and was called out to the floor on [**2-9**].
On the floor he maintained his blood pressure and heart rate
but required continued oxygen with saturations in the low to mid
90's on 3L NC. On [**2-10**], he triggered for mental status changes
with orientation to self. He had significant rhonchi on exam at
that time and respiratory was called; deep suction removed large
amounts of mucous which were sent for culture. Later that
evening, the patient was noted to have worsnening oxygen
requirement with 93% oxygen on 5 liters and 97% on a
nonrebreather. Deep suction was attempted but the patient had
desaturation in this context. Received zydis 2.5 mg for
agitation and paranoia. ABG 7.48/25/71. Transferred back to MICU
for respiratory evaluation. On [**2-11**], he continued to require deep
suctioning for large amount of secretions. He continued to get
chest physical therapy with deep suctioning for large amount of
secretions on [**2-12**] as well. On [**2146-2-16**], he was noted to have
increased requirement in his venti mask from 50% to 100% with
whiteout of left lung bases concerning for mucous plug. He was
intubated for respiratory distress on [**2146-2-17**]. He was
extubated on [**2146-2-18**] when goals of care were changed to comfort
measures only (see below). Since then, he has been on minimal
oxygen and morphine intermittently for comfort and maintaining
O2 saturation in mid 90% on RA.
# Leukocytosis: His WBC increased on [**2-11**] and continued to rise
on [**2-12**]. He was started on vancomycin/flagyl while levaquin
and cefepime were continued as he was clinically getting worse.
IV Vancomycin/flagyl/levaquin and cefepime were discontinued on
[**2146-2-19**] when he was made CMO
# Delirium. Resolving. He was noted to be agitated and
paranoid while being transferred back to the MICU. Likely
secondary to hypoxia, improved with deep suctioning and
respirator stabilization. His agitation has been managed by
olanzepine rapid disintegrating tab. He has not had episodes of
agitation since being on olanzepine. Upon discharge, he is
oriented to person, place, and time.
# Atrial fibrillation with RVR: on initial arrival to ICU, HR in
150-160s and irregular. Underlying process of pneumonia is
likely the driving force for it. Patient was on anticoagulation
alone with aspirin and plavix given history of multiple falls.
He was started on amiodarone and over the next few days was
weaned off metoprolol and digoxin. TTE was performed which
showed LVH and no clots. Amiodarone IV changed to PO on [**2-9**],
and then changed to home metoprolol. He remained stable in AFib
without RVR. He was noted to have RVR on [**2-11**] and was
restarted on amiodarone while metoprolol was discontinued. On
[**2-12**], he continued to be in RVR with rates in 120s so
metoprolol was added for rate control with amiodarone. However,
because he was made CMO, his AFib medications were discontinued.
His HR has been mostly < 100 per minute off of medications.
# Truncal ataxia: per ED evaluation, patient persistently
leaning towards left. CT head was negative. Per neurology,
there was no acute process.
# H/o CAD: He denied angina. EKG was without acute ST changes.
Cardiac enzymes were negative x 3. Initially, he was continued
on aspirin, Plavix, and metoprolol as mentioned above. However,
after he was made CMO, these medications were held.
# H/o ETOH abuse. There was no h/o withdrawal seizures. He did
not have evidence of active withdrawal while in the hospital.
# Type II DM: No evidence of DKA by labs. Patient was managed
by insulin sliding scale. However, with CMO status, finger
stick and insulin administration were held.
# Malnutrition: Albumin of 2.1. Per speech and swallow, NPO
with crushed meds in apple sauce with concern for chronic
aspiration and will need to be reevaluted once off of face mask
for oxygen. NG tube placed on [**2146-2-9**] and tube feeds started
with nutritions help. Tube feeds held on [**2-10**] in the setting of
desaturation and copious secretions, due to concern for
aspiration. Restarted [**2-11**] as it seemed that secretions were
mucous and not gastric contents. However, with CMO status,
patient resumed regular diet per his preference and nutritional
supplement was added.
# Left buttock ulcer. 1 cm x 1 cm. Area does not appear to be
infected. This should continue to be monitored with regular
repositioning every 2 hours and daily wound care.
# Comfort measures only: On [**2146-2-19**] after extensive discussion
with his health care proxy, it was decided to make the patient
comfort measures only and was extubated on [**2146-2-19**].
Antibiotics were discontinued. He was transitioned to narcotics
as needed for shortness of breath and pain. He was discharged
on oral morphine solution as his Foley catheter and PICC were
removed on [**2146-2-20**] and [**2146-2-21**] respectively. He will be
followed by hospice. It will be important to continue the
discussion of Do Not Hospitalize with patient and his health
care proxy.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 6955**],
It was a pleasure to take care of you at [**Hospital1 827**].
You were admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and fast
irregular heart rate. You were treated with antibiotics for the
pneumonia as well as medications to help controlling your heart.
Because of your worsening breathing, you were on a ventilator (a
machine that help to breath for you) for a short period of time.
After a discussion between your health care proxy and your
intensive care team, it was decided that you would prefer to
live with dignity and would prefer not to have invasive
procedures done such as a PEG tube (feeding tube) or a
tracheostomy (more permanent breathing tube). You did very well
after they remove the ventilator and required minimal oxygen.
The medical team discussed with you about hospice. You and your
health care proxy both decided that you want to ultimately be
home with hospice. Hospice nurse and social workers came and
explored with you regarding your options and necessary support
that you may need. While resources at home get set up, it is
thought that you can go to inpatient hospice for a period of
time.

Pertinent Results:
[**2186-7-22**] TEE
Conclusions
Overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF
50-55%). There is hypokinesis of the mid to distal anteroseptal
segments with borderline dyskinesis distally. Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion and no aortic stenosis. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic
pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion. There is
an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat
pad.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal study. Low normal left ventricular global
systolic function with regional wall motion abnormalities as
described above. Normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Compared with the prior study (TEE - images unavailable for
review) of [**2186-7-21**], the left ventricular regional systolic
dysfunction appears similar. Given the limited nature of the
current study a comparison of all previously measured parameters
could not be made.

Hct monitored. She was started on isordil and later transitined
to Imdur for prevention of LIMA spasm this will need to be
continued for 3 months.Beta blocker was initiated and the
patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. The
patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further
recovery. Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued
without complication. The patient was evaluated by the physical
therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. By
the time of discharge on POD 4 the patient was ambulating wiht
assistance, the wound was healing and pain was controlled with
oral analgesics. The patient was discharged to [**Hospital **]

gestation born to a 31 year old Gravida 3, Para 0, now 1 Mom.
Prenatal screens - Blood type 0 positive, antibody negative,
Rubella immune, RPR nonreactive, Hepatitis surface antigen
negative, Group B Streptotoccus status unknown. Primary
cesarean section under combined epidural spinal anesthesia.
The infant's Apgars were 9 and 9. In the Newborn Nursery the
infant was breastfeeding well, noted to have spitting of old
blood and abdominal distention and was transferred to the NICU
for assessment. He had passed stool times two at this time.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Term, appropriate for
gestational male. Pink, comfortable in room air. Anterior

positive mongolian spot, normal tone.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Respiratory - [**Location (un) **] has remained
stable in room air without any respiratory issues.
Cardiovascular - [**Location (un) **] has remained without
cardiovascular issues, normal blood pressures and heartrate.
Fluids and electrolytes - His birthweight was 3,390 gm. His
discharge weight is 3385gm. [**Location (un) **] initially
arrived and was made NPO at 80 cc/kg of D10/W. Following his
barium enema the infant proceeded to ad lib enteral feeding of
Enfamil 20 calorie or breastmilk 20 calorie.
Gastrointestinal - Infant admitted to the Newborn Intensive
Care Unit for abdominal distention. Went to [**Hospital3 18242**] for a contrast enema which revealed a meconium plug,
also noted left side of colon slightly small. Infant had
passed the meconium plug and has had no further issues with
stooling or enteral feeding. Recommendation at this time is
for a follow up sweat test for cystic fibrosis. The cystic
fibrosis clinic at [**Hospital3 1810**], phone [**Telephone/Fax (1) 36136**].
Hematology - Complete blood count and blood culture were
obtained on admission which revealed severe neutroeni with a
white count of 4.9, hematocrit of 43.6, platelets of 170. He
had 1 poly and 0 bands. In response to his low neutropenia,
repeat complete blood count was performed later in the day
revealing 5 polys. His complete blood count on [**4-28**] had a
white count of 5,800, hematocrit of 43.4, platelets 170, 0
polys 0 bands, 74 lymphs.
His most recent complete blood count on [**5-2**] is wbc 8,400 0P
0B 70L 27M 3E, Hct 46% plat 254,000.
Hematology was consulted from [**Hospital3 1810**]. Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 47796**] is the attending hematologist and the Hematology Fellow's
name is Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 47797**] who will be following [**Location (un) **]
outpatient. At this time the working diagnosis includes
alloimmune neutropenia. Mother's bloodwork has been sent off
to [**State 3706**] Southwest Bloodbank, telephone #1-[**Telephone/Fax (1) 47798**]87, and there are specifically looking for
neutrophil antibodies. This bloodwork was sent on [**2148-5-1**]. Secondary differentials include Kostmanns syndrome or
infection. Mother has been taking no medications that produce
neutropenia. The recommended plan at this time is to repeat a
complete blood count with differential on [**5-7**] and inform
Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 47797**] of the information. At that time they can
determine if the infant should have a bone marrow aspiration
or further testing.
Infectious disease - In light of the neutropenia, the infant
was started on ampicillin and gentamicin which were
discontinued on day of life #5 as there was no positive blood
culture and no clinical sepsis risk factors. A lumbar
puncture was performed which revealed a white blood cell
count of 5, a red blood cell count of 1, protein of 85 and
glucose of 32. Mother and father were both instructed of the
increased need for diligence around the infant with infection
control issues.
Sensory - Audiology, automated auditory brain stem responses
were performed and the infant passed both ears.

History of Present Illness:
The pt is a 46 year-old right-handed man with a PMH of DM and
HTN off medications who was transferred from [**Hospital3 **] today. Mr. [**Known lastname **] states that he was in his USOH this
morning. He came home around noon and felt tired so he took a
nap. When he woke around 1 or 1:30 he noticed that his entire
left arm and hand were "numb". He was unable to feel the arm but
denied paresthesias. He was also unable to move the arm at all.
He was also unable to move the hand or fingers but felt that the
leg was normal. He was unaware of any facial problems though his
wife noticed that his left side face was droopy. He tried to
drink water and the water spilled out of the left side of his
mouth. His speech was also very hard to understand and
"garbled". He was aware of what he wanted to say and was able to
speak fluently but had difficulty articulating the words. His
comprehension was normal.
He went to [**Hospital6 5016**] where he was evaluated with
screening labs with platelets of 255, a glucose of 188, nl
LFT's, INR of 1 and a Cr of 1. His troponin was 0.04 and the CK
was 76. His ECG showed SR and no ST changes. A head CT was done
which was read as negative, however on review on the images
here, I am concerned for a R parietal area of hypodensity.
Clinically, Mr.
[**Known lastname **] states that his R arm improved over half an hour. He was
gradually able to raise it above his head and the numbness
improved. His facial weakness and speech also improved. He was
given ASA 325 per report and transferred here for further care.
Of note, Mr. [**Known lastname **] states that he had had an episode of L hand
numbness and weakness last week. He recalls that he was playing
pool and dropped his pool stick. He went to pick it up and his L
hand felt numb and weak. He was unable to move his fingers. He
waited a few minutes and the symptom resolved.
ROS:
The pt denied headache, loss of vision, blurred vision,
diplopia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus or hearing
difficulty. Denied difficulties comprehending speech. Denied
paraesthesia. No bowel or bladder incontinence or retention.
Denied difficulty with gait. The pt denied recent fever or
chills. No night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. Denied
cough, shortness of breath. Denied chest pain or tightness,
palpitations. Denied nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or
abdominal pain. No recent change in bowel or bladder habits. No
dysuria. Denied arthralgias or myalgias. Denied rash.

CT BRAIN PERFUSION:
1. Right MCA territory infarct, with abrupt cut off of the right
MCA in the region of its bifurcation, with M1 segment not
identified. M2 branches are seen, suggesting a nearly occlusive
filling defect/embolus within the right M1 segment.
Corresponding increased transit time is identified in the right
MCA territory.
2. No acute hemorrhage.
3. Diminuative A1 vessels, with poor filling of the proximal A2
branches.
Better filling is identified in the more distal A2 vessels,
suggesting
posterior pericallosal collateral filling.
4. Stenosis at the origin of the left vertebral artery, which
arises from the aortic arch.
MRI/A of HEAD:
1. Findings consistent with infarcts in the right MCA territory,
with abrupt cutoff of the right MCA identified on MRA at the
bifurcation. Findings on previously performed CTA suggest that
there is collateral filling of more distal M2 branches, although
those are not identified on this study.
2. A1 and A2 branches not identified on the current MRA,
although findings on prior CTA suggest posterior pericallosal
collateral filling of the distal A2 vessels.
3. No acute hemorrhage.
ECHO: Severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(LVEF 30%) not consistent with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Severe
diastolic dysfunction. Mild mitral regurgitation. No PFO/ASD
identified.
ANGIOGRAM: R MCA occlusion and both ACAs not visualized. Unable
to stent ot intervene otherwise.
Brief Hospital Course:
The pt is a 46 year-old RH man with a PMH of DM and HTN,
untreated. He developed left arm weakness and numbness as well
as a facial droop with gradual improvement of his symtpoms.
On arrival, in the ED, his BP ranged between 170-200's and he
was in sinus tachycardia with a rate of 100's. His exam was
notable for a L facial droop, mild dysarthria and slight L
deltoid weakness (-5). He did not have any extinction or sensory
loss and no drift. His leg was normal. His NIHSS was 2.
He was taken urgently to CT/CTA and CTP which showed an evolving
hypodensity on the R parietal lobe and an M1 cut off on CTA. His
CTP showed a delay in MTT and a decrease in both CBV and CBF
however with a mismatch, concerning for a residual penumbra.
These results were reviewed with the O/C radiologist, as well as
the stroke fellow who discussed the results with the Stroke
attg. As his symptoms improved clinically with little deficit,
he was not given IA tPA and admitted to the ICU with heparin
drip.
Patient was also found to have cardiomyopathy with LVEF of 30% -
echo was most consistent with restrictive cardiomyopathy but not
in coronary distribution hence cardiology consult recommended
initial labs that were all normal except for elevated TSH.
However, free T4 and T3 were within normal range hence this is
expected in acute illness. Cardiology agreed with plan for
repeat echo in 2 months.
During the ICU stay, he continued to have mildly fluctuating
mental status with transient worsening of left sided weakness.
He was successfully transferred to the step-down unit where he
was noticed to have significant but transient change in
confusion, facial droop and weakness in the setting of receiving
anti-hyperntensive [**Doctor Last Name 360**]. He had repeat scan which showed
expansion of ischemia and he underwent repeat angiogram which
showed R MCA occlusion without visualization of both ACAs but no
intervention was possible. Given such finding, his episodes of
confusion and worsening weakness most likely due to
hypoperfusion of his ACAs in the setting lower blood pressure
hence he was treated with goal SBP ~150 with IVF and bedrest.
On [**12-21**], he was also started on low dose Midodrine, 2.5mg [**Hospital1 **] for
increased BP with parameters to prevent supine HTN. He remained
stable and he began working with PT to ambulate assistance on
[**12-24**] without adverse reaction.
As for his R MCA occlusion and underperfusion of both ACAs, Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) 81712**] at [**Hospital1 2025**] was contact[**Name (NI) **] for possible consideration of
bypass surgery who felt that the surgery was viable and safe but
unclear of its efficacy. Upon discussing with family of the
surgery option, family decided that they would like to proceed
with this and transfer was facilitated.

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Discharge Diagnosis:
R M1 MCA occlusion
Hypertension
Diabetes mellitus
Discharge Condition:
Stable but transiently increased confusion, worsening of L
facial droop with weakness usually in the setting of lower blood
pressure or standing.
Discharge Instructions:
You presented with L arm weakness and numbness as well as a
facial droop with gradual improvement of your symtpoms. Upon
arrival, your exam was notable for a L facial droop, mild
dysarthria and slight L deltoid weakness (-5) and your NIHSS was
2.
You were taken urgently to CT/CTA and CTP which showed an
evolving hypodensity on the R parietal lobe and an M1 cut off on
CTA but given that your symptoms improved clinically with little
deficit, you did not get IA tPA and you were admitted to the ICU
with heparin drip.
You remained stable but with fluctuating exam including
confusion, left facial droop with left sided weakness. After
being transferred the neurology floor, you had an episode of
prolonged confusion with definite L facial droop hence you had
urgent imaging showing worsening of infarct and repeat angiogram
showed R MCA occlusion plus non-visualization of both ACAs but
due to the location and already completed infarct, no
intervention was possible.
You remained in the neurology floor with goal of SBP 150~180.
Given the findings, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] at [**Hospital1 2025**] was contact[**Name (NI) **] for
possible bypass surgery and upon reviewing the films plus
history, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] consented to transfer of the patient for
possible consideration of the surgery given likely low risk
although efficacy unclear.
You continued to have fluctuating exam in the setting of
decreased BP or standing position. To increase blood pressure
in hopes of ensuring adquate cerebral perfusion, midodrine was
started on [**12-21**] with parameters to prevent supine hypertension.
You have also been started on Coumadin with heparin bridging and
your INR has been therapeutic over 1 week by the time of your
discharge.

Pertinent Results:
[**2132-2-11**] Echo: Pre-bypass: The left atrium is moderately dilated.
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. The left
ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). [Intrinsic
left ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed
given the severity of valvular regurgitation.] Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There are simple
atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is posterior mitral leaflet
flail at the P2 scallop. An eccentric, anteriorly directed jet
of Severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. Due to the
eccentric nature of the regurgitant jet, its severity may be
significantly underestimated (Coanda effect). There is no
pericardial effusion. Post-bypass: The patient is receiving no
inotropic support post-CPB. An annuloplasty ring is well-seated
in the mitral position and there is trace valvular
regurgitation. There is a mean transmitral pressure gradient of
3 mm Hg at a cardiac output of 6.3 L/min. There is evidence of
systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet, but
there is not evidence of outflow tract obstruction or pressure
gradient. Biventricular systolic function is preserved. All
other findings are consistent with pre-bypass findings. The
aorta is intact post-decannulation. All findings were
communicated to the surgeon.

Final Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Evaluation for pleural effusion.
COMPARISON: [**2132-2-12**].
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the extent of
the
right-sided pleural effusion has minimally increased. As a
consequence, the
right basal areas of atelectasis have also increased. On the
other hand, the
ventilation of the left lung base is slightly improved.
Unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette, no evidence of newly
appeared focal
parenchymal opacities indicative of pneumonia.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was a same day admit after undergoing all
pre-operative work-up as an outpatient. On [**2-11**] he was brought
to the operating room where he underwent a minimal invasive
mitral valve repair. Please see operative report for surgical
details. Following surgery he was transferred to the CVICU for
invasive monitoring in stable condition. Within 24 hours he was
weaned from sedation, awoke neurologically intact and extubated.
Chest tubes were removed per cardiac surgery protocol. He was
transferred to the step down unit on post operative day 1 in
stable condition. He was started on Neurontin with plans for
increased titration as needed due to right medial thigh numbness
and tingling (right groin cannulation.) He was able to ambulate
and weight bear with this numbness. He continued to work with
physical therapy to increase strength and endurance. He was
tolerating a full po diet, ambulating well and his incision was
healing well. His CXR revealed a question of a moderate right
pleural effusion and he had an ultrasound which showed less than
300 cc of fluid and he did not undergo thoracentesis. He was
encouraged to continue frequent IS use. It was felt that he was
safe for discharge home on post operative day 4.

Chief Complaint:
lower extremity weakness, hypoxia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 8789**] is an 87-yo man with history of colon cancer
(refusing treatment), PAF, CHF with chronic pleural effusions
who presented with lower extremity weakness and was found to be
hypoxic with O2 sat in the 80s requiring NRB and MICU admission.
.
The patient was mostly recently admitted on [**2188-6-20**] for
hypotension likely from dehydration. He was given IVF and was
discharged on [**2188-6-21**] with amox-clav for UTI. A day later, on
the day of this admission, he felt as if his legs were "rubbery"
and that he had difficulty ambulating even with his walker. He
denies dyspnea, chest pain, lightheadedness, or worsening of his
leg edema. He denies fevers, chills, coughs, abdominal pain,
diarrhea, constipatin, dysuria.
.
On arrival to the ED, T 101.2, BP 117/50, HR 76, RR 22, 89%RA.
His CEs were negative x 1. CXR revealed worsening R pleural
effusion. He received 1 liter NS, ceftriaxone 2 grams,
levofloxacin 750 mg. Due to his hypoxia, he required NRB and was
admitted to the MICU for further management.

[**2188-6-23**] 05:10AM BLOOD TSH-1.7
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted with hypoxia and was intially sent to
the ICU. He was diuresed, but also started on Vanc, Flagyl and
Levofloxacin empirically. After diuresis, his oxygenation
improved and he was transfered to the floor. He was continued on
abx empirically but they were discontinued after 48hours of
negative cultures. He was then switched back to Augmentin to
complete a course for UTI started on last admssion. It is
likely that he experienced a CHF exacerbation [**2-23**] to the IVF
given on last admission and [**2-23**] to decreased lasix on discharge.
His "weakness" was consistent with deconditioning and poor
cardiopulmonary status on admission rather than focal leg
weakness. On exam, strength was [**5-26**] in LE and his walked very
well with PT. His ambulation improved with diuresis. TSH was
normal. Diuresis was continued. His hypoxia continued to improve
with 90-94% RA and on ambulation. He continued to refuse
thoracentesis. He did have rare desturations at night to 87% and
may benefit from O2 at night in the future. He also received 2
units pRBC's for HCT below baseline. He was discharged without
shortness of breath or hypoxia on his orginal home dose of lasix
40mg daily.

Chief Complaint:
CoreValve placement
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
CoreValve placement
Repeat Right and Left heart catheterization
Temporary pacemaker placement
History of Present Illness:
[**Age over 90 **]-year-old caucasian female with CAD, NSTEMI [**2189-5-6**] pulmonary
HTN, and known critical aortic stenosis (AoVA = 0.6cm2, EF 40%)
now symptomatic with increasing chest pain, SOB, and dizziness.
Patient had been seen in [**2185**] and declined surgical intervention
at that time. She was also admitted for CHF exacerbation 20
lbs over her baseline in [**2189-5-13**] and considered for
valvuloplasty, however this was not done due to concerns
regarding significant aortic regurgitation. She underwent a
complete evaluation for TAVI during the stay including carotid
ultrasound, presantine perfusion scan, dipyridamole stress, and
CT of the chest/ abdomen/ and pelvis.
Recently, the patient has been experiencing decline in her
functional status due to worsening SOB and lightheadedness and
is limited to walking to the bathroom. (Adapted from Aortic
Valve Service History & Physical)
At baseline, patient has a history of anxiety.
NYHA Class: III
Aortic valve replacement was uneventful and the LVEDP was
measured at 33. The patient required 2 units of PRBCs.
Upon arriving to the floor, patient became acutely dyspnic,
gasping for breath with saturations in the mid 80s.
Simultaneously, the patient had increased blood pressures
measured at 200s/100s by arterial line. Initial ABG was drawn
and demonstrated 7.29/52/72 (pH/pCO2/pO2). An urgent chest x-ray
demonstrated acute pulmonary edema with no evidence of
pneumothorax and was treated with 40mg lasix IV. Echo showed
[**12-14**]+ AR/MR and mild paravalvular leak. Patient was given
albuterol and ipratropium nebulizer treatments followed by 125mg
methylprednisolone and patient was put on a non-rebreather mask.
Patient was also given 0.5mg morphine sulfate, 0.5mg lorazepam.
Repeat ABG demonstrated increasing academia and hypercarbia
(7.20/73/108) and patient was transitioned to BiPAP 15/5.
Repeat ABG after 30 minutes of BiPAP showed 7.40/ 40/97 and
patient was weaned off the BiPAP.

PERTINENT STUDIES:
TTE ([**2189-7-7**]): The left atrium is dilated. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed with basal
inferior and basal to mid lateral hypokinesis (LVEF= 50 %).
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
An aortic CoreValve prosthesis is present. The transaortic
gradient is normal for this prosthesis. Moderate (2+) aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Mild to moderate ([**12-14**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is a
very small pericardial effusion. There are no echocardiographic
signs of tamponade.
.
TTE ([**2189-7-8**]): The left atrium is moderately dilated. There is
mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity
size. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with focal inferior and basal to mid inferolateral
hypokinesis. The remaining segments contract normally (LVEF = 50
%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an increased left
ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right ventricular
chamber size is mildly dilated and free wall motion is normal.
The diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels
are normal. An aortic CoreValve prosthesis is present. The
transaortic gradient is higher than expected for this type of
prosthesis. Moderate (2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The
aortic regurgitation jet is eccentric. The mitral valve leaflets
are mildly thickened. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is
seen. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is
moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2189-7-7**],
the severity of tricuspid and mitral regurgitation have
increased. The trans-Corevalve gradient is higher while the
severity of aortic regurgitation is unchanged. Pericardial
effusion is smaller. The right ventricle appears mildly dilated.
.
TTE ([**2189-7-9**]): Overall left ventricular systolic function is
mildly depressed (LVEF= 45 %). There is considerable
beat-to-beat variability of the left ventricular ejection
fraction due to an irregular rhythm/premature beats. Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with borderline normal free
wall function. An aortic CoreValve prosthesis is present. The
transaortic gradient is higher than expected for this type of
prosthesis. A paravalvular aortic valve leak is present. Mild to
moderate ([**12-14**]+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The aortic
regurgitation jet is eccentric. Moderate (2+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure
could not be determined. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion.
.
Cardiac Cath ([**2189-7-9**]):
1. Elevated LVEDP
2. Mild to moderate aortic insufficiency
3. No gradient across the Corevalve (no aortic stenosis)
4. Mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension (from diastolic
dysfunction)
Brief Hospital Course:
PRIMARY REASON FOR ADMISSION: [**Age over 90 **]-year-old caucasian female with
CAD, NSTEMI [**2189-5-6**] pulmonary HTN, and known critical aortic
stenosis (AoVA = 0.6cm2, EF 40%) s/p corevalve.
Active Diagnoses:
.
# COREVALVE
Patient's perioperative course was complicated by flash
pulmonary edema after 2 units PRBCs in the cath lab. She was
treated with diuresis and BiPAP, with succesful weaning onto
nasal canula. 24 hours after placement, [**7-8**] Echo demonstrated
high trans gradients and continued aortic regurgitation. The
picture was complicated by decreased MAPs below 65 and urine
output to 15-20 cc/h and creatinine increasing to 1.6. Patient
was clinically stable throughout with no further episodes of
dyspnea. Patient was started on Dopamine drip at 2mcg/kg/min
with increase in UOP and MAPs above 65. On [**7-9**] reassessment in
cath lab with PCWP was 20-22 mmHg and the PA systolic pressure
was < 50 mmHg. The RA pressure was [**9-23**]. The LVED was 30 mmHg
(due to diastolic dysfunction and unchanged from pre) and there
was a minimal trans-aortic gradient. Patient began to
clinically improve with activity around the CCU including
walking. She was weaned of the dopamine gtt. Subsequent TTE
showed continued AR, but the patient remained stable and was
transferred to the floor and then rehab.
# WENCHIBACH WITH PERSISTENT BRADYCARDIA
Likely etiolgy is sick sinus syndrome. Patient was evaluated by
EP team with decision made to not place a pace maker.
# CAD
Patient was continued on Aspirin 81 mg daily, Plavix 75mg daily
and Crestor 20 mg daily. She was not on BB secondary to sinus
bradycardia.
# ASTHMA
Pt was continued on Fluticasone-Salmeterol Diskus (250/50) and
Montelukast 10 mg daily.
# CHF
Furosemide 20mg was started within 48 hours of CoreValve
placement with Spironolactone 25. HCTZ 25 was discontinued.
She was started on lisinopril 10mg/day during this admission.
# GERIATRIC CARE:
Pt was continued on home trazadone for sleep throughout her
course. She intermittently required benzos for anxiety, which
she tolerated well.
#ANXIETY/ INSOMNIA
We continued home escitalopram and trazadone. Trazodone was
briefly discontinued due to prolongation of QT on one EKG, but
was restarted with no incident.

PATHOLOGY:
IMAGING:
[**2134-6-24**]
- Portable CXR: A pacemaker/ICD device has two ventricular leads
and a single right atrial lead. The device projects over the
right upper hemithorax. The heart is moderate-to-severely
enlarged. The main pulmonary artery contour is prominent. The
aortic arch is calcified. The diaphragmatic contour on the left
is indistinct but the significance is difficult to judge given
cardiomegaly. The lungs are difficult to assess in this area
and it is also difficult to exclude a small left-sided pleural
effusion. However, there is no evidence for pleural effusion on
the right. Otherwise, aside from streaky lingular atelectasis,
the visualized lungs appear clear. Mild rightward convex is
curvature centered along the mid thoracic spine. Surgical clips
project along the left axilla.
IMPRESSION: Somewhat limited examination, but substantial
cardiomegaly
without definite evidence for acute disease.
[**2134-6-25**]
- Transthoracic Echo: Intravenous administration of echo
contrast was used due to poor native endocardial border
definition.
LEFT ATRIUM: Mild LA enlargement.
RIGHT ATRIUM/INTERATRIAL SEPTUM: Mildly dilated RA. A catheter
or pacing wire is seen in the RA and extending into the RV.
Dilated coronary sinus (diameter >15mm).
LEFT VENTRICLE: Normal LV wall thickness and cavity size. Severe
global LV hypokinesis. Relatively preserved apical LV
contraction. Estimated cardiac index is depressed
(<2.0L/min/m2). No LV mass/thrombus. TDI E/e' >15, suggesting
PCWP>18mmHg. No resting LVOT gradient.
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size. Focal basal hypokinesis
of RV free wall.
AORTA: Normal aortic diameter at the sinus level. Focal
calcifications in aortic root. Normal ascending aorta diameter.
AORTIC VALVE: Mildly thickened aortic valve leaflets (3). No AS.
No AR.
MITRAL VALVE: Normal mitral valve leaflets. Mild (1+) MR.
TRICUSPID VALVE: Mild [1+] TR. Moderate PA systolic
hypertension.
PULMONIC VALVE/PULMONARY ARTERY: Normal pulmonic valve leaflet.
No PS. Physiologic PR.
PERICARDIUM: Very small pericardial effusion.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor apical views.
Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. The coronary sinus is dilated
(diameter >15mm). Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity
size are normal with severe global hypokinesis (LVEF = 25 %).
Systolic function of apical segments is relatively preserved.
The estimated cardiac index is depressed (<2.0L/min/m2). No
masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. Tissue Doppler
imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP>18mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size is normal. with
focal basal free wall hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present.No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
structurally normal. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There
is a very small circumferential pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular cavity size with severe
global hyopokinesis suggestive of a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Depressed cardiac output/index. Pulmonary artery hypertension.
Increased PCWP. Dilated coronary sinus (is there evidence for
persistance of left SVC?).
- LENIS RLE: Grayscale, color and Doppler images were obtained
of the right common femoral, femoral and popliteal veins. Note
is made that despite diligent effort the right calf veins could
not be visualized. Normal flow, compression and augmentation is
seen in all of the visualized veins. Superficial edema within
the soft tissues is seen in the right calf.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis from the right
common femoral through the right popliteal veins. Note is made
that the right calf veins could not be visualized.
- X ray, L spine and T spine: AP and lateral views of the
thoracic and lumbar spine were reviewed. There is no evidence
of fracture, lytic or sclerotic lesions demonstrated. There is
lumbar dextroscoliosis. Otherwise, no appreciable findings
seen. If clinically warranted, correlation with cross-sectional
imaging dedicated to the area of pain demonstrated.
[**2134-6-28**]
- Thyroid U/S: There has been prior left thyroidectomy. The
right thyroid lobe measures 1.6 x 2.5 x 4.4 cm. The thyroid
isthmus measures 7 mm. Remaining thyroid parenchyma shows a
homogeneous echotexture without evidence of focal nodules. In
the anterior midline, extending slightly to the left of midline,
adjacent to but appearing separate from the thyroid isthmus, is
a lobulated, heterogeneously, predominantly hypoechoic mass
which measures 3.3 x 1.2 x 2.4 cm. Internal vascularity is
demonstrated with color Doppler imaging. This is new compared
to the examination of [**2133-5-21**]. The appearance is
suggestive of either an abnormal lymph node or other
heterogeneous solitary mass. Survey views throughout the
remainder of the neck show no evidence of additional
lymphadenopathy.
IMPRESSION: 3.3 cm heterogeneously hypoechoic mass, anterior
midline of neck, appearing separate from the thyroid remnant.
This may represent an abnormal lymph node or other solitary
mass. If surgically appropriate, this is amenable to
fine-needle aspiration. The results were discussed via
telephone with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **], at 10:45 a.m. on [**2134-6-28**]
by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **]. In addition, results were discussed with [**Doctor Last Name **]
Baidal, Endocrinology fellow, in person at 10:45 a.m. on the
same date.
- Parathyroid scan with 21.1 mCi Tc-[**Age over 90 **]m Sestamibi: Following the
intravenous injection of tracer, images of the neck including
anterior, pinhole and marker views were obtained at 20 minutes
and 2 hours. Initial and delayed images show intense activity
overlying the left side of the
thyroid bed. SPECT/CT images show a soft tissue focus with
intense activity overlying the left thyroid bed. This focus
appears larger and more intense in comparison to the prior study
from [**2129-11-25**]. It also appears to be about 2cm lower than the
focus seen on the prior scan. The left thyroid lobe is absent.
CT images of the lungs show bilateral pleural effusions and
bilateral patchy areas of atelectasis of the right lower lobe as
well as of the left upper and lower lobes.
IMPRESSION: 1- Intense focal tracer uptake overlying the left
thyroid bed consistent with a large left parathyroid adenoma,
increased in size and intensity when compared to the prior
study. 2- Bilateral pleural effusions and atelectasis of the
right lower lobe and the left upper and lower lobes
[**2134-6-29**]
- CT neck with contrast: The patient is status post left
hemithyroidectomy. The right thyroid lobe is grossly
unremarkable, but better assessed on the preceding thyroid
ultrasound. There is a high-attenuation mass in the strap
muscles to the left of midline, separate from the right-sided
isthmus remnant, which corresponds to the mass seen on the prior
ultrasound. It measures 2.6 x 1.5 x 3.3 cm on the present
study. Of note, this was thought to be consistent with a
parathyroid tumor on the nuclear medicine parathyroid scan.
There is a 1-cm lymph node between levels III and IV on the left
(image 2:56), at the upper limit of normal size. No other
enlarged cervical lymph nodes are seen. There is no evidence of
an exophytic mucosal mass. The salivary glands appear
unremarkable. There is calcified plaque in the aortic arch.
There is calcified and noncalcified plaque at the origins of the
internal carotid arteries, without evidence of hemodynamically
significant stenoses. The distal cervical right internal
carotid artery is medialized, indenting the posterior pharyngeal
wall. There are ground-glass opacities at the imaged lung
apices, better assessed on the concurrent torso CT. The right
mastoid is under-pneumatized and sclerotic, suggesting prior
infections. There are no lytic or sclerotic bone lesions
suspicious for malignancy. There are degenerative changes in
the cervical spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Mass in the strap muscles to the left of midline,
corresponding to the lesion seen on the preceding ultrasound,
separate from the residual thyroid isthmus. This was thought to
represent a parathyroid tumor on the preceding nuclear medicine
study. Its CT characteristics are nonspecific.
2. 10-mm lymph node between levels III and IV on the left, at
the upper limit of normal size.
3. Ground glass opacities at the imaged lung apices, better
assessed on the concurrent torso CT.
- CT Torso with and without contrast:
CT CHEST: There is a 1.5 x 2.5 cm enhancing mass superior and
anterior to the residual right lobe of the thyroid gland
compatible with known parathyroid adenoma. There is no
supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy.
There are clips in the left axilla. The heart is markedly
enlarged with predominantly right-sided involvement. There is a
moderate pericardial effusion. The aorta is normal in caliber.
The main pulmonary artery measures 3.7 mm and is dilated.
Pacemaker leads are present. Small bilateral pleural effusions
are noted. There is no definite focal consolidation or
pneumothorax. Ground-glass opacity at the bases most likely
represent atelectasis. The airways are patent to the
subsegmental levels. There is no large central pulmonary
embolus.
CT ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is heterogeneous
appearance to the liver with prominent hepatic veins, most
consistent with hepatic congestion from fluid overload. There
are no focal liver lesions and the portal vein is patent. There
is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. The
gallbladder, pancreas and spleen are unremarkable. The right
adrenal gland is unremarkable. There is thickening of the
anteromedial limb of the left adrenal gland, which may represent
hyperplasia or adenoma and less likely malignant involvement.
The kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically without
any hydronephrosis. There is bilateral scarring. The stomach,
small and intra-abdominal large bowel are unremarkable. A small
amount of perihepatic ascites is present. The abdominal
vasculature including the aorta and its major branches are
patent. There are calcifications involving the iliac arteries.
CT PELVIS: There is a small amount of free fluid within the
pelvis. The bladder is collapsed and there is a Foley catheter.
The rectum and sigmoid colon are unremarkable. There is no
lymphadenopathy or free air within the abdomen or pelvis.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is no suspicious
lytic or sclerotic lesion. The patient is status post
laminectomy at L3 and L4. There is diffuse anasarca.
IMPRESSION:
1. 2.8 cm enhancing mass anterior to the residual thyroid
consistent with known parathyroid adenoma.
2. Findings consistent with fluid overload including
cardiomegaly, moderate pericardial effusion, bilateral pleural
effusions, hepatic congestion, small amount of free fluid in the
abdomen and pelvis as well as anasarca. 3. Enlarged main
pulmonary artery which is suggestive of pulmonary hypertension.
4. Thickened appearance to the medial and anterior limb of the
left adrenal which may represent hyperplasia, or an adenoma and
less likely malignant involvement.
PROCEDURES/INTERVENTIONS:
[**2134-6-29**]
- Right basilic vein approach- double lumen PICC placement under
IR guidance
[**2134-6-30**]
-CXR: FINDINGS: In comparison with the earlier study of this
date, there has been placement of an OG tube that extends well
into the distal stomach. Endotracheal tube tip is approximately
5.1 cm above the carina.
The lung volumes are substantially improved. This may account
for the
apparent improvement in pulmonary vascularity, which now is
essentially within radiographic limits of normal.
CXR [**7-1**]: IMPRESSION: Interval removal of lines and tubes.
Increased bibasilar opacities suggestive of atelectasis and/or
consolidation.
PARATHYROID SCAN Study Date of [**2134-7-5**]
RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL DATA: 21.5 mCi Tc-[**Age over 90 **]m Sestamibi
([**2134-7-5**]);
INTERPRETATION: Following the intravenous injection of tracer,
images of the neck including anterior, pinhole and marker views
were obtained at 20 minutes and 2 hours. SPECT/CT images were
obtained after the 20 minute images.
Initial images show uptake in the right thyroid lobe.
Delayed images show some washout from the right thyroid lobe.
No foci of uptake consistent with parathyroid tissue are seen on
either image. The patient is status post left thyroidectomy.
A SPECT/CT was performed. Again, no foci of uptake consistent
with parathyroid tissue are seen on either image. There are
post-operative changes including small gas collections. There
are small bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis.
A right pacemaker is in place.
Compared to the study of [**2134-6-28**], there has been a marked
change. The
intensely avid midline mass is surgically absent. There is no
evidence of
residual tissue related to that mass, and there is no other mass
identified.
IMPRESSION: No foci of uptake to suggest residual parathyroid
tissue.
Brief Hospital Course:
65 year old woman with past medical history of etoh abuse,
primary hyperparathyroidism s/p left thyroidectomy and
parathyroid adenoma resection in [**2127**], AF and sCHF p/w
hypercalcemia, [**Last Name (un) **], elevated troponin, ruled out for ACS with
hypercalcemia of unclear etiology. Improved with IV fluids and
lasix. Discharged to rehab in stable condition.
MEDICINE FLOOR [**0-0-**]
# Hypercalcemia/Primary hyperparathyroidism. she has a known
baseline of hypercalcemia between [**10-19**]. She presented with
significantly high Ca and elevated PTH > 1300. Her [**Last Name (un) **] and sCHF
complicated her treatment. She was treated with calcitonin,
cinacalcet, brief course of hydrocortisone (100 mg q8h) as well
as aggressive IVF balanced with lasix (for volume). She was
placed on a low calcium diet. She subsequently underwent
further imaging with thyroid ultrasound and parathyroid scan
which showed a large left parathyroid adenoma. T spine and L
spine did not show any fractures, lytic or sclerotic lesions.
She subsequently underwent contrasted CT neck and torso to
better characterize the tumor involvement. Her previous left
thyroidectomy and parathyroid adenoma resection operative
reports and surgical pathology from [**Hospital3 **] were
reviewed among her inpatient and outpatient endocrinologists,
surgery, and radiology. The decision was made to pursue an
exploratory surgery for resection of the neck tumor on [**2134-6-30**]
rather than FNA alone, for concern of possible seeding if it
were to be a malignant tumor and the ultimate goal of treatment.
Patient was transferred to the [**Hospital Ward Name 516**] for surgery.
Postoperatively, pt was monitored with daily serum PTH
measurements and q6--8hr serum calcium checks. Pt was maintained
on IVF and intermittent lasix dosing, to gently diurese and
allow for slow calcium excretion. Calcium was downward trending
and had dropped to 8.9 on discharge.
**Note: Patient's calcium took several days to normalize
post-surgery, which was unusual as per Endocrinology. Her
normocalcemia was most likely secondary to surgery but could be
also due to the cinacalcet. A decision was made to stop her
cinacalcet given her calcium normalization and to monitor her
calcium daily at rehab. Her calcium values will be faxed to her
Endocrinologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. She also has follow-up scheduled
with her endocrinologist.
#Respiratory failure: After extubation from surgery, patient
developed respiratory distress with O2 sat approaching 60% and
hypotension with BP 80s/50s. She was subsequently re-intubated
and started on dopamine drip. Pt previously had a PICC line, but
was found to be not working well. A Central venous line was
therefore placed. When she came to the MICU, dopamine was weaned
off, and subsquently extubated the next morning. The etiology
of hypoxemia was unclear. CXR did not show worsening pulmonary
edema. Most likely diagnosis was post-op apnea from anesthesia.
Hypotension was unlikely acute coronary syndrome with troponin
downtrending since admission. Felt most likely related with
hypoxia vascular constriction causing right heart strain, in the
setting of severely impaired LVEF. This could have been
exacerbated in the setting of intubation and initiation of
propofol.
.
# Acute on chronic systolic CHF. Patient has history of
cardiomyopathy with EF=30% in [**2130**]. Exam consistent with
right-sided failure at admission (JVD, LE edema) and repeat
echocardiogram showed non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and EF = 25%.
She received large volume IVF for treatment of hypercalcemia
with frequent dosing of Lasix. Her I/O were kept even.
However, her lasix was held on the day of the CT neck/torso for
renal protection given the contrast load, and the rate of the
fluid was decreased slightly to avoid acute exacerbation. Her
CT neck/torso revealed pericardial effusion, pleural effusion,
and anasarca. However, her pulsus was 8 mmHg on [**2134-6-30**]. The
patient was diuresed with IV Lasix. She was restarted on 40 mg
PO Lasix and 6.25 mg PO carvedilol, but her blood pressure
dropped to the 80's, likely secondary to aggressive diuresis.
These medications were held on discharge, but can be restarted
as needed. Her baseline SBP was ranging 80's-100's.
# Elevated troponin: Patient had TropT = 0.13 at arrival. She
did not have cardiac complaints. Her MB was negative. It is
thought that elevated troponin was likely due to decreased
clearance in setting of heart failure.
# Acute renal failure on chronic kidney disease. Patient has a
baseline creatinine of around 1.2. Her creatinine was up to 1.8
on admission. It improved while she was on treatment for
hypercalcium, likely due to improved forward flow. Medications
were dosed renally. Lasix was held on the day of her CT
neck/torso given contrast dye being a nephrotoxin. Creatinine
stable at 1.5 on discharge.
# Altered mental status/Delirium. She presented with lethargy
and some confusion. Carbamazpine was subtherapeutic on level.
The confusion improved as hypercalcemia improved. However, she
remained somewhat lethargic with decreased motivation while on
the medicine floor. Her mental status improved in the ICU.
# Macrocytic anemia. Noted on admission. Patient had normal
B12 and folate. She was noted to have increased reticulocyte
counts.
CHRONIC ISSUES:
# Atrial fibrillation on warfarin. She is ventricularly paced.
She has not taken warfarin for about 1 month prior to admission.
Her INR on admission was 1.1. She has a CHADs = 2. She was
started on ASA instead. Patient was monitored on telemetry
during hospital course. Pt was restarted on coumadin
post-operatively and will need follow up.
# Seizures. Patient reports history of seizures when she was
drinking EtOH. Carbamazepine was initially held given
underlying AMS, but it was restarted as her confusion was
resolving.
# Type 2 Diabetes. Her home medications were held. She was
placed on insulin sliding scale. She is discharged on her home
anti-diabetic agents except for metformin given her kidney
disease and Cr 1.5 on discharge.
# History of Breast Cancer, s/p left mastectomy. Raloxifene was
held.
# GERD: Stable. Continued pantoprazole.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 5051**]:
It was a pleasure taking care of you at [**Hospital1 18**]. You were admitted
because of concern for your heart and for high calcium levels in
your blood. Tests determined that you have a condition called
primary hyperparathyroidism. This was treated with fluids,
lasix, and several other medications. The endocrine experts
evaluated you and suggested further imaging which found a
parathyroid adenoma. You had a surgery to remove the adenoma
and your blood levels were checked daily. You will need to
follow up with your endocrinologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and with the

Admission Date: [**2183-12-31**] Discharge Date: [**2184-1-11**]
Service:
ADMISSION DIAGNOSIS:
Right colon cancer.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 76-year-old
woman with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and
elevated cholesterol who, on an evaluation as an outpatient,
was found to be anemic and a colonoscopy revealed a right
colon cancer in [**2183-12-18**]. The patient was then
scheduled for elective right colectomy.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: As above.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
Procardia 60 mg p.o. q.d.
Captopril 50 mg p.o. t.i.d.
Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d.
Insulin 409 units of NPH q.a.m.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: The patient had an open
cholecystectomy in [**2162**].
ALLERGIES: The patient had an allergy to penicillin.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs revealed a temperature of
98.8??????F, a heart rate of 100, a blood pressure of 136/59,
respirations of 18 and an oxygen saturation of 100% on room
air. In general, the patient was a pleasant, obese, elderly
woman. On head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination, the
mucous membranes were moist. The neck had no
lymphadenopathy. The heart had a regular rate and rhythm.
The lungs were clear. The abdomen was soft. There was mild
right sided tenderness and the abdomen was nondistended.
LABORATORY: The patient had a white blood cell count of
13,100 with a hematocrit of 35.5 and a platelet count of
543,000. Potassium was 4.0. BUN was 12 and creatinine was
0.7. Glucose was 130.
RADIOLOGY: A chest x-ray showed no evidence of infiltrate or
metastatic disease.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: An electrocardiogram had sinus rhythm at
100.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted for bowel prep and
tolerated the bowel prep. On [**2184-1-2**], she underwent right
colectomy without complications. Postoperatively on that
night, the patient was stable. However, she required
intravenous fluid bolus for low urine output.
On postoperative day #1, the patient continued to require
intravenous fluid boluses for urine output and developed a
persistent tachycardia. After receiving intravenous fluid
resuscitating without good response to intravenous fluid
bolus, the patient became short of breath and was transferred
to the Intensive Care Unit for further management.
The patient was treated for congestive heart failure and was
ruled in for a myocardial infarction with electrocardiogram
changes and elevated levels of troponin. A cardiology
consultation was requested and an echocardiogram was
performed, which revealed a significantly decreased ejection
fraction of approximately 15% with severe hypokinesis and
akinesis of the inferior and lateral walls. The patient was
started on beta blocker and ACE inhibitor for afterload
reduction to optimize her hemodynamics. The patient was also
started on aspirin.
Once her hemodynamics were optimized and diuresis of fluid
was initiated, the patient improved and, on postoperative day
#4, she was transferred back to the hospital floor. The
patient then soon passed flatus and was slowly advanced to a
regular diet. She was continued on Lasix diuresis as well as
beta blockade, afterload reduction and aspirin.
The patient continued to do well with good response to
diuresis and improved pulmonary function and was saturating
well on room air and breathing comfortably. On postoperative
day #9, the patient was tolerating a regular diet and was
ambulatory with physical therapy. However, the patient
required significant assistance, which indicated a
rehabilitation transfer.
On postoperative day #7, an ultrasound of the right upper
extremity was performed, which showed a cephalic vein deep
vein thrombosis, and the patient was started on Coumadin at
that time for treatment of the deep vein thrombosis as well
as for prophylaxis for the severe wall motion abnormality of
the heart.

demonstrated a nonfocal neurologic exam.
Laboratory values include a white count of 3.7, hematocrit of
31, platelets of 182. INR was 1.1. BUN was 10, creatinine was
0.7. Rest of her labs were unremarkable.
For imaging studies, she had a MRI done on [**2199-2-16**],
which demonstrated multiple small acute and subacute infarcts
in the cerebellar hemispheres, left occipital lobe, the left
medial/left temporal lobe, the left thalamus, and the right
midbrain consistent with shower embolic infarcts in the
posterior circulation. No hemorrhage.
She also had a TEE on [**2199-2-18**] which demonstrated a 3 cm
x 3 cm mass extending from the high intra-atrial septum of
the left atrium. There is no prolapse to the mitral valve. It
is multilobular and very mobile. It does not extend across
the intra-atrial septum. There was good left ventricular
function.
She had underwent cardiac catheterization which demonstrated
normal coronary arteries, normal cardiac index.
Echocardiogram done [**2199-2-19**] here demonstrated an EF of
60%, a mass in the left atrium, normal wall motion.
Chest x-ray had no congestion and no infiltrate.
HOSPITAL COURSE: After her workup by the neurology service,
the stroke service, the cardiology team, and cardiac surgery
team, patient was taken to the operating room on [**2199-2-21**], where she underwent an atrial myxoma removal and
primary repair of intra-atrial septum. She tolerated this
procedure well.
She postoperatively was transferred to the cardiac surgery
intensive care unit. Patient was extubated, remained
hemodynamic normal. Was weaned off all pressors. She was
transferred to the floor on postoperative day #1. After
removal of tubes and wires, she was anticoagulated with
Coumadin. Postoperatively, she did have a right hand
thrombophlebitis from an old IV site which was monitored and
treated with a course of Keflex. She was seen by physical
therapy and has passed a level 5 evaluation. She has been
stable and is now ready for discharge to home, where she will
be anticoagulated and followed by her primary cardiologist.

History of Present Illness:
66 year old male with known metastatic thyroid CA to spine,
brain, ribs presented to Dr.[**Name (NI) 6767**] office for routine follow-up
today. The patient has back pain but no numbness or tingling.
The
pain in his back is more of a dull ache and is not nearly as
painful as the pain he had in his neck prior to the cyberknife
treatment he had at C1 in [**Month (only) 958**] of this year. He has not had any
urinary incontinence but did notice stool staining in his
underwear twice this week when he woke up in the morning. He has
had controlled bowel movements since then and reports no loss of
sensation in the groin or buttock region.
The patient noticed that his right leg felt slightly weaker
recently, but he had a right hip replacement and attributed the
weakness to that surgery. The patient had an MRI of the
thoracic
spine which showed a new large lesion almost completely
occluding
the canal. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 724**] sent him to the ER for neurosurgical
evaluation.

Pertinent Results:
MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spine. [**2160-8-1**]
IMPRESSION: Bony metastatic disease involving the T4, T5, T9,
and T10
vertebrae. Spinous process metastasis at T5 indents the spinal
cord and
results in 50% narrowing of the spinal canal with slight
indentation on the spinal cord. Epidural metastasis on the right
side of the spinal canal at T9 level displaces the spinal cord
to the left side and results in slightly more than 50% narrowing
of the spinal canal with moderate cord compression. Other
changes as described above.
IMPRESSION: Bony metastasis to right pedicle and body of the L1
and superior portion of L2 vertebra as described above. No
evidence of epidural mass or spinal cord compression.
BONE SCAN. [**8-4**]
IMPRESSION: 1. Osseous metastasis in multiple levels of the
thoracic and lumbar spine as described above. Uptake in some
vertebrae might be related to degenerative changes but a
differentiation cannot be made on the base of this study. 2.
Osseous metastasis involving multiple bilateral ribs. 3. Osseous
metastasis involving bilateral distal femora. 4. Increased
uptake surrounding the femoral component of the right hip
prosthesis in the right acetabulum likely related to
post-operative changes. However, residual underlying metastasis
cannot be ruled out completely.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the neurological surgery service on
[**8-1**] for treatment. On admission, he was started on
dexamethasone, maintained on levonox fo prior history of
pulmonary embolism and maintained in a TLSO. In preparation for
surgery on [**8-4**], a medicine consultation was obtained for
surgical risk stratification. CT exam also showed a T9
destructive lesion. Also, bone scan showed evidience of mets at
multiple levels of the thoracic and lumbar spine, ribs, and
femurs.
On [**8-5**] he had an embolization by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] and on [**8-7**] he had
T1-T12 Fusion.
On [**8-8**] he had good strength but was not following commands. He
received 2u PRBC and his repeat HCT was 28.9 On [**8-10**] Sputum Cx
sent. SVT w/[**Month/Year (2) 5509**] so a dilt drip was started. One drain was
removed.
On [**8-12**] bilateral pleural effusions were tapped by IR and on the
following day the 2nd drain out was removed and he was
extubated. On [**8-14**] he was re-intubated. The next day his mental
status improved, was following some commands and went to the OR
for trach/peg. He tolerated the procedure well and was
transitioned to a trach mask on [**8-16**].
On [**8-18**] he had A-fib with rapid rate and was on esmolol drip.
Staples were removed that day. The esmolol was turned off on
[**8-19**] and he was transferred to the step down unit. The patient
had drainage from the JP site so a chest CT was obtained which
did not show pleural or thoracic fistula. On [**8-21**] he was in
a-fib again with [**Month/Day (4) 5509**] and was sent back to the ICU. Cardiology
was consulted to help manage his heart rate/rhythm. He converted
to sinus rhythm while in the ICU.
The patient had drainage from his JP site on [**8-24**] that was
purulent, tan, thick material. On [**8-25**] thoracics was consulted
and they determined that there was no indication for surgery
since the pleural effusions were improved. It appeared that the
drainage was only from the JP site and not from the previous
thoracentesis site. The JP site was still leaking but the
drainage was thin and yellowish. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 548**] placed new sutures
over the area and by the next day ([**8-26**]) the site was completely
dry the sutures need to stay in place until [**9-12**]
On [**8-24**] a sputum culture came bac positive for pseudomonas so
Zosyn was started. ID was consulted and agreed that this should
be continued for 7 days. The drainage from the JP site grew out
proteus for which Zosyn was also appropriate. Mr. [**Known lastname 20598**] was
treated for HSV 1 infection on his lips with acyclovir as well.
He was transferred to step down unit again on [**8-26**] but then to
the MICU on [**8-28**] for lower GI bleed and melena. Pt was transfused
1 U prbcs and underwent a colonoscopy which showed:Polyp in the
ascending colon, Diverticulosis of the left > right, Ulcers in
the distal rectum (biopsy. Recommendations from GI were:
Follow-up pathology results. Hold anticoagulation for now and
avoid rectal tubes.
He was transferred to the MICU service on two different
occassions due to a GI bleed and atrial fibrillation.
Brief MICU course:
# Afib with [**Month/Day (4) 5509**]. Has had intermittent Afib in past, on amio for
rhythm control as well as metoprolol. Metoprolol just restarted
today. Precipitant now unclear - hypovolemia, hypervolemia,
infection/sepsis, PE, other pulmonary disease, hyperthyroidism.
Appears slightly dry on exam (crackles asymmetric). Getting T4
replacement though not currently, appears to have been lost
during transfer (last [**8-21**]). Has been on dilt gtt in past
during admit. Did not respond to 10 IV dilt and 10 IV
lopressor. BP holding >90. BP responsive to 500 cc bolus.
Initially on esmolol gtt, now d/c??????d and getting Metoprolol PO.
Echo showed no effusion, EF 55%, leaflets normal but limited
study. On readmission to MICU, his TSH was found to be 15.
There was concern for PE given the patient's history, but LENIs
were negative. Pt had another episode of rapid rates to 180s on
the morning of [**9-3**] which transiently decreased with lopressor
and resolved after 750 mL NS bolus. Amiodarone was returned to
former dosing of 200 mg [**Hospital1 **].
.
#Hypothyroidism. Current transfer meds did not include
levothyroxine and apparently this med had been held since
transfer on [**8-21**] (not reordered in transfer orders). Continued
Synthroid at home dosing plus 200mcg daily. Will need close f/u
of TSH in coming days and weeks to correctly dose levothyroxine.
# Hypoxemia. After transfer to the MICU, was requiring more O2
than prior transfer (50% TM at the time, now 70-100%). Desat to
80s on [**9-2**], improved after Atrovent neb. Over remainder of
stay requred 50-70% FiO2 on trach mask. There was intially
concern for infiltrate on his CXR, so his Zosyn was continued
until [**2160-9-4**]. An intial BNP 1727, which decreased to 1200s the
next day. Given concern for PE, LENIs were performed and were
negative.
- Also tried to wean sedating meds including neuroleptics and
pain meds.
.
#Metastatic papillary CA: S/p recent T1-T12 palliative
decompression and fusion on [**2160-8-7**] with known brain, bone and
soft tissue mets.
-No active treatment for now, long-term plan of care per
Neurosurgery
.
# LGIB: In the setting of anticoagulation with Lovenox (60mg
[**Hospital1 **]) for a history of PE in the past. 3 unit PRBC transfusion
but now stable. Ulcers on colonoscopy, bx showed no evidence of
malignancy, but acute and chronic inflammation consistent with
ulcer. Pt has been continued on [**Hospital1 **] PPI as per GI recs. Daily
Hcts have been stable in MICU.
.
# Pseudomonas VAP: Pt with Pseudomonas in sputum from [**8-25**] and on
Zosyn since [**8-23**]. 10 day course extended until [**9-4**] given
hypoxemia and concern for infiltrate on CXR. Added vanc/cipro
[**2160-8-31**], d/c'd cipro [**2160-9-2**]. Vancomycin was d/c'd on [**9-3**]
when the sputum culture from [**9-1**] failed to show any growth.
# Delirium: Pt with history of delirium that began this
admission. Previously had been working. requires frequent
reorientation. Has been getting zyprexa prn, however attempting
to decrease amount of sedation.
.
# Leukocytosis: Stable in the 10K range.
.
# h/o PE: Pt with history of DVT/PE in [**2159-1-22**]. On
anticoag at therapeutic dosing earlier during admit (when had
GIB); also with history of hemoptysis presumably from lung mets;
also known brain mets. Given his recent GI bleed and hemoptysis
we decided to use heparin sq only
#Thrombocytopenia: Plt count recovering from nadir of 38LK -->
89K, now 74K
Unclear if thrombocytopenia was medication related. Stable.

Goals of care when speaking with Mrs [**Known lastname 20598**] is to get Mr
[**Known lastname 20598**] home with services if possible. We discussed possible
Hospice but she does not want to consider that option at this
point.
On discharge Mr [**Known lastname 20598**] was awake, alert, orientated x3
comfortable with full strenght in his lower extremities, his
wound was healing no erthyema. He had low grade temps 99 range
he had full work up given his complicated medical history. His
UA and CXR were negative for infection, blood cultures are
pending. He continues to receive tube feeds but has also passed
a swallow test for ground food. His trach can be down sized.

home. Patient reportedly had been found to be confused at home
with with O2Sat 50% on room air, which then came up to 99% on
NRB. In the field, intial BP was 80/palp, so patient received
200 mL NS enroute to the ED. [**Name (NI) **] son is concerned that
patient's new medication, levothyroxine, is the reason for
presentation since the patient became acutely ill 2 hours

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 72-year-old female with a history of non-small cell
lung cancer (diagnosed in [**2178**]), non-massive hemoptysis (s/p
right fifth posterior intercostal artery embolization on
[**2191-1-12**]), and recent admission for weakness ([**2191-1-14**] to
[**2191-1-18**]).
.
#. Hypoxia: Most likely related to new LLL infiltrate on chest
xray, though other possibilities include aspiration event or
health-care associated/community acquired PNA. As such, Ms.
[**Known lastname **] was covered broadly with vancomycin/zosyn/levofloxacin.
She was also treated for influenza with oseltamivir given her
poor pulmonary reserve. A DFA for flu and urine legionella
antigen were sent. However, despite the antibiotics and IVF,
Ms. [**Known lastname **] continued to be hypoxic. She was given maximal 02 with
venti mask, but still had increased work of breathing. After
long discussions with family, it was decided to make patient
DNR/DNI and not place invasive central venous catheters for
pressure support. Throughout the night on [**1-23**] patient had
increasingly labored breathing and the family was called to the
bedside. Ms. [**Known lastname **] eventually passed surrounded by family.
.
#. Hypotension: This was concerning for sepsis, even though Ms.
[**Known lastname **] was initially fluid responsive. She was continued on
fluids (as her 02 sats tolerated) and antibiotics. Moreover,
she developed a pronounced cardiac arrhythmia toward the end of
her life, which also contributed to her poor cardiac output.
.
#. Urinary tract infection: UTI on admission might also be
contributing to septic picture and altered mental status.
Again, antibiotic coverage with Vancomycin, Zosyn, Levofloxacin.
.
#. Somnolence: Multifactorial, with etiologies including
sepsis, hypotension, hypoxia, and hypercarbia. An ABG in ED
showed respiratory acidosis at 7.30/59/215. Patient was
ventilated maximally with venti mask, though no invasive
ventilation pursued as above.
.
#. NSCLC: Patient has survived well beyond the documented
expectations of her physicians. Most recently has had course
complicated by non-massive hemoptysis s/p embolization. She has
been on home hospice for approximately a year. Family
understood gravity of the situation and Ms. [**Known lastname 68912**] strength thus
far, but still hoped for a miracle.

History of Present Illness:
This is a 49 year-old male with history of diabetes,
hypertension, and end stage renal disease who was transfered
from an outside hospital after a PEA arrest. For the past week,
he has been feeling unwell. One week ago, he underwent
placement of a perotoneal dialysis catheter. At that time, he
required hospital admission for 2 days due to hyperkalemia and
hyperglycemia. He was not dialysed at that time. He had
persistent nausea. The day prior to admission, he was back to
his baseline health, which is severe fatigue with ambulation of
a few yards. The morning of presentation, he began to feel
nauseated. Per report, he fell from his chair and was
unresponsive. He had some jerking movements of his arms that
were similar to his hypoglycemic episodes. Shortly thereafter,
he was responsive but then became unresponsive again. When EMS
arrived, he was found to be bradycardic in PEA arrest. He
received epi and atropine. He subsequently became hypotensive
to the 60s systolic and was asystolic. He was transcutaneously
paced. He was taken to an outside hospital where he continued
to be hypotensive. He received 4 L of IV fluid resuscitation.
A temporary pacer was placed, and he was paced at 80 beats per
minute. Without pacing, he had only rare junctional escape
beats. His labs were notable for hyperkalemia to 6.2,
hyperglycemia to the 700s, and acidemia with a pH of 7.03.
Cardiac enzymes were negative and his BNP was elevated to [**2175**].
An echocardiogram revealed an EF of 15-20% with global
hypokinesis and decreased right ventricular function. He was
transfered to the [**Hospital1 18**] for further management. On transfer,
his vent settings were noted to be incorrect and he was found to
be hypoxic to the 50s on 2 separate gases about 1.5 hours apart.
On arrival he was oxygenating well. He was on 5 mcg of
levophed to maintain his blood pressure. He was intially
unresponsive, with fixed dilated pupils, with an absent corneal
and gag reflex. An initial potassium was 6.4. He received
calcium, bicarb, insulin, and kayexelate. He was admitted to
the CCU.
Past Medical History:
1. Insulin dependant diabetes diagnosed 20 years ago.
2. End stage renal disease for about 1.5 years with plans to
start perironeal dialysis next month. A PD catheter was placed
last week.
3. Hypertension
4. Hyperlipidemia
5. History of lens removal in left eye.
6. History of TIA
Social History:
He is currently not working. He is married and has 2 children.
He smokes 1 pack per day. He doesn't drink alcohol.
Family History:
His mother has a triple bypass in her 60s. She also has
diabetes and hypertension.
Physical Exam:
Vitals: Temperature:34 rectal Blood Pressure:121/72 on levophed
Pulse:80 V-paced Respiratory:16 Rate: Oxygen Saturation:99% on
vent.
General: Intubated in no acute distress.
HEENT: Left pupil surgical fixed at 8mm, right pupil surgical at
6mm, moist mucous membranes.
Cardiac: Regular rhythm, paced, S1, S1, no murmurs, rubs,
gallops.
Pulmonary: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.
Abdomen: Normoactive bowel sounds, soft, nontender,
nondistended, healing surgical incision.
Extremities: Cool to touch, 2+ radilal and dorsalis pedis
pulses. Left cortis dressing intact.
Neuro: Spontaneous eye opening, tracking to voice, moving all 4
extremities.
Pertinent Results:
Outside Hospital:
1. Chest x-ray: Cardiomegally, pacer wires coiled in the right
ventricle, pulmonary edema, widened mediastinum.
2. Head CT: Negative for acute bleed or mass effect.
3. Echocardiogram: EF 15-20% with global hypokinesis. Decreased
right ventricular systolic function.
.
[**Hospital1 18**]:
1. Chest x-ray: Cardiomegally, pacer wires coiled in right
ventricle, widened mediastinum, pulmonary edema.
2. Chest CTA: No pulmonary emboli, no aortic dissection,
pulmonary edema with bilateral pleural effusions, coronary
arteries grossly clean.
.
EKG: Ventricular paced at 80 bpm with left bundle morphology.
EKG with underlying rhythm: narrow complex escape beats at
50-60.
.
TTE [**2182-5-21**]:
Conclusions:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The
left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is moderately depressed. LVEF 40% Distal
anterior, apical, and distal inferior hypokinesis is present.
3. The aortic root is mildly dilated.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
5. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
6. There is a small pericardial effusion.
.
.
Exercise stress test: [**2182-5-22**]
The baseline EKG showed prominant voltage, diffuse STT wave
abnormalities and LAE. No additional, significant ST segment
changes
over baseline were observed during the infusion or in recovery.
The
rhythm was sinus with no ectopy. Appropriate blood pressure
response to
the infusion; blunted heart rate response. The dipyridamole was
reversed with 125 mg of aminophylline IV.
IMPRESSION: No anginal type symptoms or significant EKG changes
over
baseline. Nuclear report sent separately.

PERSANTINE MIBI [**2182-5-22**]
RADIOPHARMECEUTICAL DATA:
3.1 mCi Tl-201 Thallous Chloride;
21.0 mCi Tc-[**Age over 90 **]m Sestamibi;
HISTORY: Diabetes, ESRD, and hypertension, status post
hyperkalemia-related cardiac arrest. CAD evaluation.
SUMMARY OF THE PRELIMINARY REPORT FROM THE EXERCISE LAB:
Dipyridamole was infused intravenously for 4 minutes at a dose
of 0.142
milligram/kilogram/min. Two minutes after the cessation of
infusion, Tc-99m
sestamibi was administered IV.
INTERPRETATION:
Image Protocol: Gated SPECT
Resting perfusion images were obtained with thallium.
Tracer was injected 15 minutes prior to obtaining the resting
images.
This study was interpreted using the 17-segment myocardial
perfusion model.
The image quality is adequate.
Left ventricular cavity size is dilated, and more dilated at
stress than at
rest.
Resting and stress perfusion images reveal uniform tracer uptake
throughout the
myocardium.
Gated images reveal diffuse hypokinesis without focal wall
motion abnormalities.The calculated left ventricular ejection
fraction is 48%
IMPRESSION: 1. Normal myocardial perfusion. 2. Transient
dilitation of the left ventricle during dipyridamole (stress)
images compared to rest, with a
baseline dilated left ventricle.
Brief Hospital Course:
49 year-old male with diabetes, end-stage renal disease,
hypertension, hyperlipidemia admitted with cardiac arrest likely
secondary to hyperkalemia and acidemia.
.
1. Cardiac arrest: Patient had an asystolic arrest in the
setting of hyperkalemia to 6.4 and acidemia to 7.0. On arrival,
he was 100% paced with an underlying rhythm of 50-60s junctional
escapes. He was also hypotensive requiring Levophed. He was
treated for hyperkalemia in the emergency department with
calcium gluconate, bicarb, insulin, and Kayexalate. His mental
status improved with treatment of hyperkalemia. His EKG with
back-up pacing at a rate of 40 showed heart block with
occasional conducted beats with AV delay. There was also some
inappropriate pacing spikes. The sensing was decreased with
good effect. He subsequently converted to normal sinus rhythm
without AV delay as his potassium was corrected. His blood
pressure also improved with treatment of his hyperkalemia. He
is currently off of Levophed. Patient had a repeat TTE which
demonstrated an improvement in his EF to 40%. Temporary pacer
was discontinued on [**2182-5-20**]. Patient did not have further
evidence of arrythmia. He will have close follow-up locally and
he will have his PCP refer him to a local cardiologist.
.
2. Chronic renal failure: secondary to diabetes and
hypertension. At the OSH the patient had a catheter placed with
the goal of starting peritoneal dialysis in 1 month. However,
during that hospitalization, he then developed hyperkalemia and
subsequent PEA arrest, which required transfer to [**Hospital1 18**].He was
dialyzed on the night of admission and had two additional
sessions of hemodialysis while in-house. Tunneled dialysis line
placed [**5-22**] and out-pt hemodialysis was coordinated; he has
follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] his nephrologist on [**2182-5-25**].
.
3. Diabetes: He was hyperglycemic to 700s initially without any
evidence of ketosis. He received insulin and was started on an
insulin drip. He was requiring 1 unit per hour. On hospital
day 2, he was transitioned to NPH and the insulin drip was
weaned off. He was discharged on a regimen of glargine and
lispro.
.
3. Congestive Heart Failure: At the outside hospital, he had an
echocardiogram that showed diffused hypokinesis with an ejection
fraction of 15-20%. It also showed decreased right ventricular
function. According to his wife, he had a normal echocardiogram
on month prior. Repeat ECHO at [**Hospital1 18**] showed at EF of 40%. His
EF may continue to improve following this event. He should have
a repeat ECHO in the next several months.
.
4. Elevation in cardiac enzymes: On admit, he had a troponin
leak that was likely secondary to hypotension in the setting of
his arrest. Also, noted to have elevated CK-MB. Enzymes trended
down during his admission. He did not have a cath while he was
here. He will discuss elective cardiac catheterization at
follow-up with his PCP and primary cardiologist.
.
6. Hypertension: Was briefly on pressors, then as pressure came
up required Nitro for blood pressure control (initially
avoiding nodal blocking agents). Additional agents were slowly
added back and he was discharged on a regimen of Procardia,
labetalol and lisinopril. Blood pressure will be followed by
PCP and [**Name9 (PRE) **] regimen will be titrated up as
necessary.
.
7. Intubation: He was intubated for airway protection at the
OSH. As his electrolyte disturbances resolved, ventilation and
sedation were weaned. He was extubated on hospital day 2. He did
not have any additional respiratory issues.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 82 year-old
gentleman admitted on [**9-3**] with altered neurologic status.
The patient and daughters were visiting in the [**Name (NI) 86**] area
for a whale watch from [**State 531**]. The daughter noticed the
change in speech and behavior and went to an outside hospital
where a head CT showed bifrontal subdural hematoma. The
patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 188**] for further management. The patient's subdural
hematoma noted on head CT with some shift and mass effect
with no invasive intervention required. Did not require
intubation and no seizures were detected. The patient was
placed on prophylactic Dilantin. The patient was on some
intravenous nitroprusside to keep his blood pressure less
then 150, but was successfully weaned off on [**9-6**]. He
remained in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit until
[**2169-9-5**]. He had an attempted arteriogram, which was not
completed secondary to an incidental finding of a 4 by 5 cm
AAA. Therefore vascular surgery was consulted. A CTA was
done to measure the AAA. The patient also had an episode of
acute renal failure most likely related to the dye from CT
scan. Also post obstructive from inability to void. The
patient's BUN and creatinine climbed to 60 and 3.6.
Currently his creatinine is down to 2.5, BUN is 50. Vascular
surgery will follow him as an outpatient for workup for this
AAA and he will actually probably be referred to a doctor in
[**State 531**] for further treatment of that. His renal failure is
resolving at this time.
He was seen by speech and swallow. The patient is able to
tolerate a regular diet. He also developed a rash on
[**2169-9-12**] on just his back. Dermatology was consulted and
they felt it was heat rash, although Dilantin was
discontinued and the patient also had complaints of fever.
Fever workup to this point is negative. Chest x-ray is
negative. Urine negative and blood cultures are pending.
The patient was transferred to the regular floor on [**2169-9-6**]
and was evaluated by physical therapy and occupational
therapy and found to require rehab prior to discharge to
home. He is being screened for a rehab in [**State 531**].
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE: Azithromycin 250 mg po q 24 hours
for nine days, which was started on [**2169-9-13**]. MOM 30 cc po q
6 hours prn, Simethicone 40 to 80 mg po q.i.d. prn.
Miconazole powder 2% one application to the groin and the
back of the neck b.i.d. Albuterol nebulizers one nebulizer
inhaler q 6 hours prn. Protonix 40 mg po q 24 hours, Colace
100 mg po b.i.d., Hydrocortisone ointment one application
q.i.d. to his back. Atenolol 50 mg po b.i.d.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable. He will follow up with his
primary care physician and neurologist in [**State 531**] for
further management.

Admission Date: [**2162-12-24**] Discharge Date: [**2163-1-21**]
Date of Birth: [**2098-5-17**] Sex: M
Service: Neurosurgery.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 64-year-old
male who was admitted to [**Hospital1 69**]
from [**Hospital6 5016**] on [**2162-12-24**] status post a
headache with vomiting. Head CT showed a frontal
subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient was intubated at the
outside hospital and transferred to [**Hospital1 190**] for further management.
HOSPITAL COURSE: On admission, the subarachnoid hemorrhage
extended into the pons. He had evidence of hydrocephalus,
and a vent drain was placed. He went to arteriogram which
showed no evidence of a source of bleeding. He had his blood
pressure controlled with Nipride and labetalol. He was
started on an insulin drip for high blood sugars. He was
extubated on [**2162-12-25**]. He had a repeat head CT which
showed no changes. He was awake, alert, moving all
extremities, and following commands bilaterally.
On [**2162-12-26**], he had a repeat head CT which showed
intraventricular blood with intracerebral blood continuing.
His labetalol drip was discontinued, and he was continued on
a Nipride drip. He had an increase in creatinine up to 2.1.
Admission creatinine was 1.0. He had Lopressor added for
blood pressure control, and Nipride was discontinued. He was
continued on nimodipine for prevention of vasospasm.
The Renal Service was consulted due to his acute renal
failure. He was placed on a Lasix drip which started on
[**2162-12-28**] and was discontinued on [**2163-1-1**]. He continued
to be on an insulin drip to keep his blood sugars under
control. Neurologically, he was alert, following commands,
moving all extremities but confused and disoriented to place
and time. He was occasionally agitated with tremors. He was
also placed on renal dose Dopamine to help with kidney
perfusion and urine output.
On [**2162-12-28**], he also had difficulty with respiratory
distress and was intubated. He was put on propofol and
sedated. He remained intubated until [**2163-1-4**] and then was
extubated again. His neurologic status waxed and waned. He
had episodes where he was very lethargic and not moving his
extremities very well. He had CT and MRI of the C-spine
which showed no evidence of cord compression.
On [**2163-1-8**], his BUN and creatinine were 59 and 1.8. At
this point, he was off Lasix drip. Neurologically, he was
awake, moved his right arm against gravity. He was
impersistently following commands and externally rotated both
his lower extremities with some withdrawal to noxious
stimulation. He continued to have a ventilator drain in
place. He became hypernatremic with sodiums of 149-150. His
BUN and creatinine continued to be 59 and 1.8. He had
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in his sputum.
The patient was started on Lasix 40 mg p.o. t.i.d. for fluid
overload. The patient's drain was raised to 15 cm above the
tragus on [**2163-1-11**] which he tolerated. He continued to
have high sodium levels of 152. He continued on Lasix t.i.d.
for fluid overload.
He had a bed-side swallow evaluation on which he had some
oral apraxia, but they obtained a video swallow, which he did
pass. However, post procedure, he did vomit. It was felt
that because his mental status was not completely improved,
he should hold off on feeding. Mental status did improve,
and he did start on a regular diet.
On [**2163-1-14**], the patient's drain had been clamped for 24
hours. He had a head CT which showed mild to moderate
ventricular dilatation. The patient's drain was then left
clamped until [**2163-1-16**] when a repeat head CT showed no
further dilatation, and the drain was discontinued.
The patient had his diet advanced, was to be out of bed with
Physical Therapy and was transferred to the regular floor on
[**2163-1-17**]. He has remained neurologically stable with
stable vital signs. He has tolerated a regular diet. He has
been out of bed with physical therapy and requires acute
rehabilitation.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Metoprolol 125 mg p.o. b.i.d., hold for heart rate less
than 50, systolic blood pressure less than 100.
2. Bacitracin ointment to his head suture site t.i.d.
3. Insulin sliding scale.
4. Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.24 hours.
5. Famotidine 20 mg p.o. q.day.

1) N/V/D -- likely viral gastroenteritis, resolved with
supportive care. Unfortunately, iatrogenic CHF exacerbation
after aggressive fluid resucitation. See the following course.
2)Respiratory Distress: Transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] from the floor
for acute worsingin hypoxia. Acute pulmonary edema s/p fluid
hydration for viral gastroenteritis in baseline severe pulmonary
HTN (worse on ECHO from [**5-21**], 75 to 90 mm Hg), +/- worsening pulm
HTN, +/- PNEUMONIA. Improved over several days with diuresis
and BIPAP use. Transferred back to 11 [**Hospital Ward Name 1827**] when she became
stable on nasal canula. Slowly weaned to baseline home oxygen
requirement of 4 liters. Additionally treated with Zosyn for
concern of hospital acquired pneumonia, but unconvincing
clinical picture without fever or elevated WBC. Zosyn was
discontinued 24 hours prior to discharge without event. The
pulmonary team consulted regarding her pulmonary hypertension,
and recommended avoiding afterload reduction and possible future
evaluation for OSA. Pt refused BiPAP repeatedly and an
evaluation was deferred until she may be more compliant with the
treatment.

History of Present Illness:
[**Age over 90 **] year-old female with PAF on coumadin, diastolic dysfunction,
multiple valvular abnormalities (TR, MR, AR) admitted to
neurosurgical service [**2171-1-30**] for ICH, and transferred to MICU
[**2171-2-9**] for lethargy, hypoxia, and hypotension.
.
She was transferred [**2171-1-30**] from OSH after presenting with fall
backwards onto her occiput from 2 stair height without reported
LOC. She was on coumadin at that time. On presentation to OSH
GCS 15 and head CT showed significant SAH. She was transferred
to [**Hospital1 18**] for further care.
.
She was admitted to TICU [**2171-1-30**] for neurologic monitoring. INR
was reversed with FFP and Vitamin K. While in the TICU, the
patient became increasingly lethargic and was only
intermittently oriented A&Ox3. She was found to have
hydrocephalus and underwent external ventricular drain placement
[**2171-2-2**]. She underwent Dobhoff placement under fluoro [**2171-2-8**].
.
During her hospitalization, chest radiograph with pulmonary
edema, basilar crackles and patient was diuresed with Lasix.
She became hypoxic with decrease in blood pressures from
baseline, and she went to the SICU [**2-3**] for a Lasix drip.
Subsequently, she was called out [**2-5**] and her standing home Lasix
dose was increased. On [**2-8**], she was noted to have increased
respiratory effort with a "wet" cough, with PO2 88-96% and
tachycardia. LENIs were negative. She received 300cc free
water boluses for tachycardia and subsequently for hypotension
in the 80's. Medicine was called and on review of the imaging
studies and given the patient's hypoxia and hypotension,
recommended initiating Vanc/Cefepime/Flagyl for possible
aspiration pneumonia as well as a 250cc bolus x2 for SBP
70's-80's. A discussion of possible intubation was held with
the son and the patient was made DNR/DNI. Lasix was d/c'ed.
Cultures were drawn, and ABG showed 7.51/40/105/33 with a
lactate of 2.7.
.
Of note, during the hospital course, the patient had loose stool
[**2-6**] and had C. diff x3 which were negative. Her standing bowel
regimen was d/c'ed. Of note, she was started on tube feeds on
[**2-4**].
.
This morning, [**2171-2-9**], the patient was found to have BP 70/30s
and somnolent, minimally responsive to noxious stimuli. MERIT
was called for further management and potential transfer to
medicine service. On evaluation, the patient somnolent and a
hct drop from 36 -> 31 was noted. She was written for 1 unit
PRBC and 250cc bolus NS was initiated in the interim. Oxygen
saturation fluctuated between high 80's-100% on high flow face
mask. Of note, per neurosurgery, external ventricular drain at
10 open.
.
On evaluation in the MICU, she is nonverbal. She moans to
sternal rub and does hold her son's hand.

may relate to trauma, underlying vascular/ neoplastic cause can
be excluded after appropriate workup as felt necessary.
2. Persistent moderate dilation of the lateral ventricles, which
has mildly increased from the prior study. Accurate assessment
and comparison is limited due to the differences in position
between the two studies and motion-related artifacts on the
present study. Continued close follow up as clinically
indicated.
3. Moderate mucosal thickening in the ethmoid and the sphenoid
sinuses with small amount of fluid.
.
[**2-15**] CT Head:
1. Unchanged right frontal intraparenchymal hematoma with
surrounding vasogenic edema, resulting in effacement of
neighboring sulci and mild leftward shift of midline structures.
2. No new hemorrhage or large vascular territorial infarction
seen.
3. Unchanged trace hemorrhage within the left occipital [**Doctor Last Name 534**].
4. Unchanged mild ethmoid and sphenoid sinus disease.
.
CXR [**2-19**]
IMPRESSION: Similar moderate-to-extensive bilateral hazy
opacities, with persistent bibasilar opacities, likely
combination of pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Mild cardiomegaly
stable.
Brief Hospital Course:
Brief hospital course:
.
# Intracranial hemorrhage: Patient was admitted post fall as a
transfer from OSH with large frontal IPH. Patient's coagulopathy
was reversed with Por 9, Vit K and FFP. She was admitted to the
ICU for Q1 hour neurochecks, systolic blood pressure control
less than 140 and ICU care. Her occipital scalp laceration was
stapled and she was started on Ancef IV in setting of open
occipital fracture. She was loaded and started on Dilantin for
seizure prophylaxis. Repeat Head CT on [**1-30**] showed mild increase
in the size of hemorrhage with extension into the ventricular
system. Repeat head CT on [**1-31**] was stable, she was started on
SC heparin TID, restarted on her home Lasix dose of 40mg TID and
she was transferred to the step down unit. On [**2-1**] she remained
neurologically stable. On [**2-1**] she remained neurologically
stable.On [**2-2**] she was lethargic and only arousable to sternal
rub. A head CT showed hydrocephalus and an EVD was emergently
placed in the OR. Her EVD was found to not be draining and it
was drawn back 1cm with good results. On [**2-8**] Head CT
demonstrated slight enlargement of ventricles an so EVD was
opened at 10cm above the tragus. Drain clamped [**2171-2-13**], and CT
head following day demonstrated stable findings. Drain removed
[**2171-2-14**].
.
# Respiratory failure: On [**1-31**], patient developed respiratory
distress and desaturations to the upper 80's. She was given
lasix x1 and a CXR was obtained. This revealed bilateral pleural
effusions and vascular congestion. On [**2-2**] she was lethargic
and only arousable to sternal rub. A head CT showed
hydrocephalus and an EVD was emergently placed in the OR. She
was also noted to have pulmonary edema and was given lasix. On
[**2-3**] she was transferred to the ICU for diuresis. She was
transfered back to the step down unit the following day. On [**2-8**],
oxygen requirement increased again to 6L with a CXR consistent
with pulmonary edema. Her lasix was increased to TID. She was
started on and Cefipime/Vancomycin/Flagyl for presumed
pneumonia. On [**2-9**], her care was transitioned to the MICU team.
Hypoxia was felt to be due to aspiration and pulmonary edema.
She was continued on broad-spectrum antibiotics initiated [**2171-2-9**]
- vancomycin, cefepime, metronidazole. Metronidazole d/c'd
[**2171-2-10**]. Sputum culture positive for MRSA. Patient steadily
improved on antibiotic therapy, with decreased dyspnea. Plan was
for 14 day total course of treatment, and all antibiotics were
stopped on [**2-19**]. O2 weaned to 4-5L NC.
.
# Hypotension: Was felt to be secondary to intravascular volume
depletion in the setting of diuresis, as evidenced by metabolic
alkalosis (contraction alkalosis). Concern for peri-sepsis
component given patient needed multiple boluses to maintain BP
in 80's-90's, initially 100's-130's on transfer to [**Hospital1 18**].
Patient continued on 250cc boluses to maintain SBP >90, and
diuretics, beta blockers held. She was on broad spectrum
antibitics as above, and pan-cultured to look for etiology of
infection. As above, sputum positive for MRSA PNA. Hypotension
resolved with continued antibiotic treatment.
.
# Goals of care / Altered mental status: Patient was called out
to the floor on [**2-14**], but she became progressive lethargic and
was sent back to the ICU on [**2-17**]. [**Month (only) 116**] have been related to
infection, hypernatremia (mild), delirium from complicated
medical course. Mental status improved with antibiotic course,
free water flushes, and reorientation. CSF fluid was sent for
analysis, but was not concerning for infectious process. Mental
status did not improve, and a family meeting was held on [**2-19**]
with the decision to pursue comfort measures only care. As such,
she is being transferred to hospice care. Palliative care
consult was initiated on [**2-20**] and advised Zydis 5mg Q 12 hrs on
as needed basis to decrease agitation (as opposed to scheduled
dosing-- he'd rather she not be overly sedated if possible, does
want to treatsymptoms), and discussed using MS 2.5-5 mg SL
(5mg/ml concentration) Q 3 hrs as needed to ease respiratory
distress. Would consider scopolamine patch 1.5 mg patch Q 3 days
if secretions increase (recognizing that this may contribute to
sedation as well).

[**2147-1-19**] Abdominal X-Ray (KUB):
Large amounts of free air in the abdomen. Potential additional
moderate distension of small bowel loops. Gas markings in the
bowel and rectum.
.
[**2147-1-24**] BAS/UGI AIR/SBFT:
FINDINGS: Scout views demonstrate no free air under the
diaphragm. Surgical clips are seen around the area of the
duodenal bulb. Surgical staples are seen along the left
paramedian abdomen. A nasogastric tube is seen terminating in
the stomach. A drain is seen terminating in the right middle
quadrant.
The examination was performed in the upright and supine
position. Conray followed by barium was used in this study.
Contrast was noted to flow freely through the esophagus into the
stomach and into the duodenal bulb and C-sweep. There was no
evidence of extraluminal escape of contrast.
IMPRESSION: Status post [**Location (un) **] patch procedure for duodenal
perforation without evidence of leak.
.
MICROBIOLOGY:
[**2147-1-17**] HELICOBACTER PYLORI ANTIBODY TEST (Final [**2147-1-18**]):
NEGATIVE BY EIA. (Reference Range-Negative).
Brief Hospital Course:
ADMISSION [**2147-1-19**]:
.
Upon arrival in the [**Hospital1 18**] Emergency Department, the patient's VS
were T 95.4 oral, HR 70, BP 146/48, RR 18, SaO2 99%2LNC. She was
noted to appear dry and pale. In the ED, she complained that she
had been having some diarrhea since taking the sennokot. She
also complained on some blood on her stool. Also, her HCT was 28
from a baseline in the mid-30s. She refused a rectal. She also
complained of a mild cough but no fever or recent travel. She
complained on three days of intermittend chest heaviness. She
complained on this chest heaviness this am upon awakening. CXR
showed no focal consolidation. She was noted to have an
increased BUN. Her first set of cardiac enzymes was negative.
She was given NTG, morphine, and ASA 325mg with no relief. Her
VS prior to transfer were P 71, SaO2 98%RA, BP 128/47, RR 24,
Afebrile.
.
On arrival to the floor, the patient's VS were T 98.2, BP
123/52, HR 78, RR 18, SaO2 100% on RA. She was looking more pale
and uncomfortable and started vomiting coffee grounds as well as
passing melena. CXR showed tortuous aorta with no focal
consolidation. First set enzymes negative with lactate 1.7. Hct
went from low 30's baseline, to 27.8 at 12:50 pm to 20.0 at
8:30. At that point, she was ordered for emergency release blood
and was transferred to the MICU.
.
MICU COURSE [**1-17**] - [**2147-1-19**]:
.
Upon arrival in the MICU, the patient received received 4 units
of unmatched blood emergently with appropriate bump in Hct from
20 to 31 plus. She was intubated to protect her airway.
Gastroenterology was emergently consulted, and an EGD was
performed which revealed a massive dark colored mass-like lesion
near duodenal bulb; the stomach was clear. She was started on IV
Protonix, folic acid, Vitamin C, B12, and folate. A repeat EGD
revealed 3 ulcers of the duodenal bulb. The patient was
stabilized.
.
On [**2147-1-18**], the patient went into new atrial fibrillation with
RVR 120-140's, felt diaphoretic without chest pain, SOB,
palpitations, lightheadedness. She was given Metoprolol 5mg IV
x3 with minimal response. Finally, responded to Diltiazem 10mg
IV once with a HR to the 90's. The patient experienced melena in
the morning. She received 6 units of PRBCs and 2 units of FFP.
Later, she underwent Angiogram which demonstrated no definite
focus of active extravasation seen on SMA, celiac, and selective
gastroduodenal artery (GDA) arteriograms. The GDA branches
supplying region of endoscopic vascular clipping within known
duodenal bulb ulcer were identified, and the GDA was successful
embolized using microcoils and Gelfoam.
.
On [**2147-1-19**], the patient experienced persistent abdominal pain,
decreased bowel sounds, and no flatus. A portable KUB was
performed, which demonstrated large amounts of free air in the
abdomen, potential additional moderate distension of small bowel
loops, and gas markings in the bowel and rectum. Lactate level
was 0.9. General Surgery was called, and the patietn was taken
to the Operating Room within an hour for bowel perforation.
.
POST-OPERATIVE COURSE [**1-19**] - [**2147-1-26**]:
.
On [**2147-1-19**], the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with
lysis of adhesions
and [**Location (un) **] patch closure of perforated duodenal ulcer, which
went well without complication (reader referred to the Operative
Note for details). Extubated in the OR. After a brief,
uneventful stay in the PACU, the patient arrived in the SICU NPO
with an NG tube in place, on IV fluids, with a foley catheter
and JP drain in place, and initially either Morphine or Dilaudid
IV PRN for pain control. She was started on IV Flagyl,
Levofloxacin, and Fluconazole. IV Protonix was continued. The
patient was hemodynamically stable. The patient was transferred
to the inpatient floor on POD#3.
.
Neuro: Initially, the patient received IV Morphine or Dilaudid
PRN for pain, which was converted to a Dilaudid PCA on POD#2.
Whe tolerating a clear diet, the PCA was discontinued, and the
patient started on oral pain medications with continued good
pain control. She remained neurologically intact during
hospitalization.
.
CV: On POD#1, the patient experienced atrial fibrillation with
RVR with a troponin bump to 0.14. She was started on a Diltiazem
drip with good response and rate control. Cardiology was
consulted. Previous transthoracic echocardiogram and PERSANTINE
persantine stress tests were reviewed. EF was 55%. Use of
anti-coagulation therapy was deemed contra-indicated at this
time due to the GI bleed. The patient's TSH was found to be
suppressed at less than less than 0.02 consistent with
hyperthyroidism. Endocrinology consult was recommended.
Ultimately, able to transition the patient off Diltiazem to IV
Metoprolol enabling transfer to the inpatient unit on POD#3.
Once able to tolerate a diet, the patient was transtiotned back
to her outpatient Atenolol 100mg [**Hospital1 **] for rate control and other
anti-hypertensives for BP control with good effect.
.
Pulmonary: Intubated for airway protection as above, ultiamtely
extubed after surgery on [**2147-1-19**]. The patient remained stable
from a pulmonary standpoint; vital signs were routinely
monitored. Good pulmonary toilet, early ambulation and incentive
spirrometry were encouraged throughout hospitalization.
.
GI/GU/FEN: Post-operatively, the patient was made NPO with IV
fluids. In the SICU, she required a number of IV fluid boluses
totalling 2 liters for low urine output with ultimate good
response. On POD#1, she was started on TPN for nutrition. The
foley catheter was discontinued on POD#3; she was subsequently
able to void without problem. After an upper GI study with
barium swallow and small bowel follow through demonstrated no
leak, the NG tube was discontinued and the patient started on
sips of clears on POD#5. Diet was progressively advanced to
regular by POD#7, which was well tolerated. The patient was
weaned off TPN on POD#7. Patient's intake and output were
closely monitored, and IV fluid was adjusted when necessary.
Electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when
necessary. JP discontinued on POD#7.
.
ID: Placed on empiric IV Flagyl, Levofloxacin and Fluconazole
post-operatively. H. pylori screen was negative. Fluconazole was
discontinued on POD#3 with Flagyl and Levofloxacin continued. At
discharge, the patient was sent out on an additional 10 days of
oral Levofloxacin and Flagyl. Of note, routine MRSA screen was
negative. The patient's white blood count and fever curves were
closely watched for signs of infection. Midline surgical
incision with staples remained clean and intact. Staples can be
removed, and steri-strips placed at the ouitpatient nursing
facility on POD#10 (1/1/3/09).
.
Endocrine: As above, Endocrinology was consulted given the
finding of a suppressed TSH of less than 0.02 in the context of
atrial fibrillation. The patient has a history of multinodular
goiter. Futher thyroid studies were evaluated. She was started
on Methimazole (Tapazole) 20mg PO daily, an anti-thyroid
medication, for biochemical thyrotoxicosis. Of note, the risks
of this medication are rare hepatic failure and agranulocytosis.
Patient should be instructed that if she develops a fever or
sore throat, she should stop the methimazole immediately and
have a CBC checked. There is not a need for surveillance CBC or
LFT's as these reactions are acute. A thyroid scan was ruled out
given the patient recent high IV contrast burden to avoid renal
impact. The aptient will follow-up with Endocrine as an
outpatient in 4 weeks, at which time repeat Thyroid
functiontests will be performed. The patient's blood sugar was
monitored throughout his stay; sliding scale insulin was
administered accordingly. She did not require exogenous insulin
at discharge.
.
Hematology: During this admission, the patient received a total
of 13 units of PRBCs and 3 untis of FFP. HCT prior to discharge
was 26.9.
.
Prophylaxis: The patient received subcutaneous heparin and
venodyne boots were used during this stay; was encouraged to get
up and ambulate as early as possible.
.
At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile
with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a regular
diet, ambulating with assitance, voiding without assistance, and
pain was well controlled. She was discharged to an extended
care facility for further nursing care and rehabilitation. The
patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions
with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge
plan.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 91969**] was a same day admission to the operating room for
aortic valve replacement with Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **]. Prior to admission she
underwent pre-operative work-up including cardiac
catheterization. On [**1-4**] she was brought to the operating room
please see operative report for details, in summary she had:
aortic valve replacement with #21 [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Male First Name (un) 923**] tissue valve. Her
bypass time was 79 minutes with a crossclamp time of 62 minutes.
She tolerated the operation well and following surgery she was
transferred to the CVICU in stable condition for invasive
monitoring. In the immediate post-op period she remained
hemodynamically stable, was weaned from sedation, awoke
neurologically intact and extubated. On POD1 she continued to be
hemodynamically stable and was transferred to stepdown floor for
continued post-op care. All tubes lines and drains were removed
according to cardiac surgery protocol without complication. She
went into a rapid atrial fibrillation on POD 1 night and was
given increased dose of Lopressor, IV amiodarone/ po Amiodarone
and converted to sinus rhythm at 3 AM on POD2. She remained
hemodynamically stable throughout remainder of hospital course.
She was diuresed with Lasix toward preoperative weight. Once on
the stepdown floor she worked with nursing and physical therapy
to improve strength and mobility. The remainder of her hospital
course was uneventful. On POD #4 she was tolerating a full oral
diet, her incision was healing well and she was ambulating with
assistance. She was cleared for discharge to [**Location (un) **] House
rehab. All follow up appointments were advised. Target INR
2.0-2.5 for A Fib. First INR check tomorrow at rehab.

Admission Date: [**2188-2-27**] Discharge Date: [**2188-3-2**]
Date of Birth: [**2168-9-15**] Sex: M
Service: TRAUMA
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 19 year old
male who was in his otherwise usual state of good health
until the Sunday, [**2188-2-25**], when he was involved in an
altercation with an acquaintance where he was struck by a
baseball bat with a single strike to the left flank and
midaxilla over the tenth, eleventh and twelfth ribs. The
patient sustained a significant amount of pain, however, he
opted to return home, having some intermittent shortness of
breath and difficulty taking deep breaths, and pleuritic type
pain. He was seen at [**Hospital **] [**Hospital **] Hospital on [**2188-2-26**], and
diagnosed with a left hemopneumothorax as well as CT scan of
the abdomen revealing a severe splenic laceration. His
admission hematocrit at the outside hospital was 38.0. He
was placed in Intensive Care Unit, placed on serial
hematocrit values. He did have a small left apical
hemopneumothorax requiring insertion of a left anterior chest
wall dart tube thoracostomy with good resolution of his
pneumothorax. Over the ensuing 72 hours, the patient stayed
in the hospital and had serial hematocrit levels. His blood
count dropped to 26.0 on [**2188-2-26**], and he was transfused a
single unit of packed red blood cells with good response
bringing his hematocrit up to around the 31.0 mark. However,
on the day following on Wednesday, [**2188-2-28**], the patient
experienced the acute onset of severe left chest pain,
dyspnea and left flank pain. This prompted a repeat CAT scan
of the chest and abdomen. The outside hospital radiologist
felt that there may or may not have been evidence of a
possible aortic injury at this time prompting a transfer to
[**Hospital1 69**] for further evaluation.
The patient was brought in by ground, hemodynamically stable,
complaining of left sided chest pain. The remainder of his
hospital course will be described further.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: None.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: The patient takes no medications
at home.
ALLERGIES: He has no allergies.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient denies smoking or drinking
alcohol. He is single and has a girlfriend. [**Name (NI) **] works as a
landscaper.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Otherwise negative up until the time of
this event, he was well.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On presentation, his temperature was
98.2, heart rate 88, blood pressure 112/70 and he was
breathing 18, oxygen saturation 96% in room air. He was in
no acute distress complaining of left sided chest pain and
pain on deep inspiration. He had an obvious left anterior
tube thoracostomy in place with no evidence of air leak
through the Heimlich valve. His trachea was midline. There
was no crepitus on either chest wall and his chest was
without heaves. His heart was regular. Lungs were clear
bilaterally, decreased at the left base. There were no
crackles, rubs or rhonchi. His abdomen was soft, tender in
the left upper quadrant. There was some mild left flank
ecchymosis. There was no obvious crepitus. There were no
peritoneal signs. Bowel sounds were hypoactive. His rectal
examination was guaiac negative, normal tone. Extremities
were unremarkable and without any deformity. He had normal
pulses throughout. His neurosensory examination was
otherwise unremarkable and his pupillary examination again
was noted to be normal.
LABORATORY DATA: Admission hematocrit here was noted to be
31.0.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was placed on conservative
grade IV splenic laceration protocol with serial q4hour
hematocrit checks and an Intensive Care Unit admission.
Admission chest x-ray showed that he had fairly good
expansion of his left chest, however, there was a small left
hemothorax and discussion was held as to whether or not the
patient should undergo a larger tube thoracostomy for empiric
drainage of this blood, however, it was decided that the
patient was stable and we would not pursue this matter unless
the patient needed to go to the operating room. The
patient's hematocrit did drop to as low as 26.0 while in the
hospital here. He was not transfused any blood products.
This bottomed out on Thursday, [**2188-2-28**], and thereafter his
hematocrit increased on its own. He did not ultimately
require an operation and his symptoms improved. He was
making excellent urine. He made the excellent progress as he
was made NPO with serial hematocrit to the point of [**2188-3-1**],
when his hematocrit was up to 31.0 and stable that we opted
to give him a clear liquid diet. His Foley catheter had
previously been removed. On the following day on [**2188-3-2**],
the patient's hematocrit was up to 33.0 and he was making
excellent urine and tolerating liquids ad lib and his diet
was therefore advanced to a house diet as tolerated. It was
deemed that the patient had now progressed approximately
seven days postinjury without any hemodynamic instability and
his hematocrit was improving. He was felt symptomatically
and vascularly improved and follow-up chest x-ray that was
done post tube thoracostomy removal showed no evidence of
residual pneumothorax. There was a very small minimal left
hemothorax that was left in place. It was opted that the
patient did not require further tube thoracostomy under the
care of Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] covering for Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. The
patient was counseled on possible presentation of delayed
splenic bleed including the warning signs of dizziness, left
upper quadrant pain, new bruising, lightheadedness or
syncope. The patient understood the instructions to
immediately go to the nearest Emergency Room if any of these
symptoms were to return. He will follow-up in the Trauma
Clinic in approximately two to four weeks. He is instructed
not to undergo any strenuous lifting or activity. His job as
a landscaper should be postponed until he is seen in
follow-up in the clinic setting. He will not engage in any
contact sports for at least six weeks. He will not ride in
ATV or drive a motorcycle for an additional six weeks as
well.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Tylenol as needed.
2. Colace 100 mg p.o. twice a day as stool softener.
3. Dilaudid 2 mg tablets one to two tablets every three to
four hours as needed for breakthrough pain.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Grade IV splenic laceration with active blush on CT
angiography on admission CAT scan on [**2188-2-27**].
2. Hemoperitoneum.
3. Blood loss anemia.
4. Left hemopneumothorax, status post anterior left tube
thoracostomy.

CXR [**2122-1-26**] Portable AP upright chest radiograph obtained. A left
IJ tunneled dialysis catheter is again noted with its tip
residing in the expected location of the right atrium. Lung
volumes are low. Previously noted right PICC line has been
removed. Given the low lung volumes, evaluation of the lung
bases is limited. There is linear opacity in the left
retrocardiac space, likely representing atelectasis. No definite
signs of pneumonia or CHF. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
The heart size cannot be readily assessed. Mediastinal contour
appears stable with atherosclerotic calcifications along the
aortic knob. Bony structures are intact. IMPRESSION: Basilar
atelectasis without definite signs of pneumonia.
CT ABD/PELVIS [**2122-1-27**] 1. No evidence of perforation, abscess
formation or hemorrhage.
2. Severe liver cirrhosis with splenomegaly and large amount of
ascites.
3. Filling defect is seen in the distal SMV, at the portal
confluence, the
proximal portal vein, and the TIPS stent, representing
thrombosis or flow
artifact. Evaluation is limited due to lack of multiphase
imaging.
Further workup with Doppler liver vascular ultrasound should be
considered.
TIPS [**2122-1-28**] 1. Occluded TIPS shunt. This is a change from the
ultrasound of [**2121-11-19**]. The portal veins and hepatic veins are patent.
2. Massive ascites.
3. Cirrhotic appearing liver with splenomegaly.
PORTABLE ABDOMEN [**2122-1-29**]
1. Technically limited study, demonstrating diffuse gaseous
distention of the large and small bowel, most consistent with
ileus.
2. Apparent nasogastric tube should be advanced for optimal
positioning.
CXR [**2122-1-29**]
The patient is severely rotated, distorting anatomical
landmarks. The
examination was performed at near expiration, which crowds and
dilates
pulmonary vasculature and is responsible for severe left lower
lobe
atelectasis. The upper lungs are probably clear. Cardiac size
cannot be
assessed. Left subclavian dialysis catheter ends in the right
atrium.
Nasogastric tube passes to the lower esophagus and out of view.
There is no pneumothorax.

Brief Hospital Course:
65 year old male with a history of EtOh-cirrhosis, on transplant
list, complicated by hepato-renal syndrome on HD, presenting
with worsening abdominal pain and fatigue.
.
# Transition to Comfort Care: the patient's TIPS was found to be
not patent and the patient was not considered a transplant
candidate in the near future. The family opted to focus on
comfort. He was transitioned to CMO and passed away at 6:30 am
on [**2122-2-2**].
.
# Sepsis - Abdominal pain is present on review of systems;
diagnostic paracentesis reveals a WBC count of >4000 with >90%
polys consistent with either SBP or secondary bacterial
peritonitis (given repeated taps), but no perforation or abscess
seen on CT abdomen. Lipase and LFTs are within normal limits
making other abdominal sources unlikely. Alkaline phosphatase
is elevated which could be secondary to TIPS. There is concern
that a clot in the TIPS could be infected. He was treated
empirically initially with vanc and zosyn, the vancomycin was
changed to daptomycin for VRE given hx of VRE in peritoneal
fluid in [**2119**] and chronic thrombocytopenia (so avoid linezolid).
The fluid culture revealed GNRs. He did receive albumin for SBP
despite already having HRS and being on HD. The fluid culture
grew e.coli which was resistant to zosyn, which he had been
treated with, and he was transitioned to ceftriaxone, which the
e.coli was sensitive to.
.
# Hypotension: blood pressure was in the range of SBP 80s at
night; then increased during the day to the 100s. He was started
on midodrine but was unable to take this secondary to his ileus,
which was causing him not to absorb PO medications. At time of
transition to CMO, the patient's blood pressure was 60/40.
.
# Ileus: the patient developed a severe ileus, which was thought
to be [**1-22**] his peritonitis and his ascites. An NGT was placed
with relief of nausea and vomiting, and he was discharged with
this tube to hospice for intermittent suctioning. At time of
[**Month/Day (2) **], less than 500cc per day was being aspirated, which
was mostly the food that he was eating for comfort. He did stool
very small amounts even with lactulose.
.
# Anemia: the patient has had an acute hematocrit drop from 28
to 21. The patient has baseline anemia, likely secondary to
kidney disease and liver disease; prior iron studies consistent
with anemia of chronic disease. In the setting of acute
hematocrit drop, concern for bleed; no signs of acute bleeding
despite history of varices. No signs of hemorrhage on CT abd.
.
# Cirrhosis - Secondary to EtOH. He is no longer drinking.
Listed for transplant. Complicated by esophageal varices,
hepatic encephalopathy, and refractory ascites s/p TIPS that is
no longer patent. Continued lactulose and rifaximin. On
prophylactic bactrim for SBP, which was held during his
treatment of SBP. He did receive a therapeutic paracentesis with
removal of 10L of fluid on [**2122-1-28**]. After that point, although he
was in pain with his distension, the patient could not have
another paracentesis as his hypotension was preventative.
.
# End stage renal disease - Hemodialysis for hepatorenal
syndrome in setting of cirrhosis. The patient missed HD on day
of admission (Monday, [**1-27**]) so recieved an extra session on [**1-28**],
in which 1L was removed. Sevelamer and calcium acetate were
continued.
.
#IDDM - continue home lantus and sliding scale.
.
#. Ventral Hernia: Per records this is not reducible but not
changed from prior. No evidence of incarceration/strangulation.
This has been one of the patient's most significant sources of
discomfort and embarassment for several years however he has
been told that he is not a candidate for surgical repair until
after he has a liver transplant.
.
#. Hypothyroidism: Chronic. Continue Levothyroxine at home dose.
.

History of Present Illness:
Per Neurosurgery note. 83-year-old female transferred from OSH
with SAH.
.
Of note, the patient contact[**Name (NI) **] EMS for flank pain. Enroute to
OSH with EMS she suddently complained of a severe headache and
then became unresponsive. Upon presentation to the OSH she was
unresponsive to any stimuli. She was found to have SAH. She
received dilantin, decadron, mannitol and dopamine and then
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**].
.
Upon arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] EW, initial vitals were: BP 110/72, HR 55,
RR 15-20, SaO2 100%. Neurosurgery evaluated the patient and CT
findings. They found devastating SAH Hunt [**Doctor Last Name 9381**] grade 5, [**Doctor Last Name **]
grade 4, no withdrawal to pain, no corneals, gag or cough. The
neurosurgery team discussed with her son who stated that her
mother would not want to be resuscitated or live with the
complications of this. The decision was to make the patient
comfort measures only.

Brief Hospital Course:
# Goals of care: The neurosurgery team had a discussion with son
[**Name (NI) 382**] who decided that his mother would not want to live like
this and be dependent on others. Neurosurgery had nothing to
offer. The patient was made comfort measures only. She was
extubated and dopamine was stopped. Started on morphine, ativan
and scopolamine. She passed away with family at bedside.
# Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: The patient has a massive SAH with no
neurologic signs suggestive of recovery. Neurosurgery evaluated
the patient and felt that surgical intervent or medical therapy
would be futile at this point. She was made CMO.

Chief Complaint:
Acute renal failure
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Angiography of lower limbs
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 28624**] is a 79 year old male with past medical history of
congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, COPD, and
diabetes mellitus who was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management after being found to have hyperkalemia, worsening
renal function, and hypotension.
.
He presented to [**Hospital6 17032**] today after being
referred there when routine laboratory draw revealed
abnormalities. His potassium was found to be 6.1, and creatinine
4.7. Blood pressure there was noted to be 83/42. He was given an
albuterol nebulizer, 1 amp of calcium gluconate, 10 units of
regular insulin, 1 amp of D50, and 30 mg of kayexalate, as well
as 500 cc of normal saline.
.
In the ED here at [**Hospital1 18**], initial vital signs were: blood
pressure of 91/54, heart rate of 76, respiratory rate of 22, and
oxygen saturation of 90%. A right femoral central line was
placed for initiation of pressors, and he was started on neo. He
was given 1 gram of vancomycin and 4.5 grams of zosyn for
possible urinary tract infection. He received 1 gram of calcium
gluconate, 1 amp of D5, and 10 units of regular insulin as well
for hyperkalemia. Renal and cardiology were consulted.
.
On the floor, he reports he has to move his bowels, but
otherwise denies any shortness of breath or other complaints. Of
note, has highly variable BP readings depending on position,
alternating in rapid sequence from 70-110's systolic.
.
Of note, he was recently admitted to [**Hospital1 18**] cardiology service
from [**2147-6-10**] until [**2147-6-16**] after being transferred from
[**Hospital6 27369**]. At that time, he had acute on chronic
renal insufficiency, as well as hypotension. He was diuresed
with a lasix drip, which was switched to torsemide. EP also
followed the patient, and his ICD was re-programmed to allow for
native conduction, with consideration of up-grade to
[**Hospital1 **]-ventricular pacer in future, as this was deferred given
improvement in his symptoms with diuresis. His blood pressure
was noted to be 70-100 systolic during that admission with
normal mentation. Elevated creatinine was felt to be secondary
to poor forward flow, and LFT elevations secondary to
congestion.
.
He states that since his admission, he has been at
rehabilitation. He reports he gained about 10 pounds since
discharge, though he's not sure how. On [**2147-6-28**] he presented
to [**Hospital6 17032**] for hyperkalemia, worsening
renal function, and hypotension.

Brief Hospital Course:
He was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] ED where he was triaged as septic,
given neosynephrine, vancomycin, zosyn, and treated for
hyperkalemia.
.
In MICU, he was diuresed on lasix drip and noted to have
baseline SBPs 70s-80s in acute on chronic systolic congestive
heart failure with EF 20%. With diuresis he was able to maintain
SBPs off pressors in 80s and his renal function improved. His
infectious work-up was negative. He was transferred to
cardiology floor on a lasix drip for diuresis. Overnight
[**Date range (1) 28625**], he was reported to be agitated and intermittently
hypoxic to 80s after which he would awaken and be startled. He
was transferred to the MICU for higher level of nursing care.
Assessment there suggested multiple factors including adverse
reaction to sleep aide (ambien), high dose ciprofloxacin (for
empiric UTI treatment), haldol and hypoxia in setting of known
sleep apnea not on BiPAP. With observation and cessation of
medications the patient's mental status improved to baseline
and he was no longer hypoxic. Ambien was felt to be the primary
cause and should not be given again; avoid in the future.
.
He was seen by vascular surgery and podiatry for his severe
peripheral vascular disease and chronic ulcers. No current
inpatient managment was felt necessary at that time given CHF
exacerbation. However, during agressive diuresis of the patient,
Mr. [**Known lastname 28624**] developed cellulitis of his right lower limb. Due
to the edema and poor blood supply to the legs given his
vascular disease, the pt developed an infection of the skin and
healing ulcers on his feet. He was given broad spectrum IV
antibiotics to treat the infection (vancomycin, cipro and flagyl
x7days).
.
In addition, given the development of infection, vascular
surgery performed an angiography in an attempt to improve blood
flow to in order to facility abx treatment. The legs showed
significant blockages which require correction; however,
vascular surgery was not able to perform any stenting due to
patient movement. Thus, vascular surgery arranged to use general
anesthesia for the procudure balloon or stenting of the leg
blood vessels; tentatively vascular surgery will perform this on
[**7-18**].
.
Although there was as strong preference by all care providers
involved that the patient remain at [**Hospital1 18**] while completing IV
antibiotics and awaiting surgery, the patient was adament that
he be moved closer to home to [**Location (un) 25576**] to complete IV
antibiotics until the time of the vascular intervention.
Arrangements were made and the pt was transferred to [**Location (un) 28626**].

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Hospital6 25759**] & Rehab Center - [**Location (un) **]
Discharge Diagnosis:
Primary Diagnosis:
Congestive Heart Failure
Acute renal failure
Secondary Diagnosis:
Hyperkalemia (high potassium, electrolyte imbalance)
Coronary artery disease
COPD
diabetes mellitus
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane).
Discharge Instructions:
You came to the hospital because you had gained 10 pounds and
were experiencing with difficult breathing and substantially
increased swelling of you lower legs. You were found to have
dnagerous electrolyte imbalances, worsening kidney function and
very low blood pressure. This was an exacerbation of your
chronic heart failure and there was concern for infection.
.
While in the hospital, your symptoms worsened and you were
transferred to the ICU and received antibiotics. Although there
was concern for infection, tests were negative. After further
investigation it was felt that Ambien (a medication you
received) caused significant unexpected adverse side effects in
you. We recommend that you never take Ambien again and have
listed it as a medication [**Location (un) **] in your record. Please be sure
to alert you PCP and other doctors of this [**Name5 (PTitle) **].
.
To treat your heart failure you received medications to remove
excess fluid that had accumlated in your body. With the removal
of this fluid your symptoms improved. However, due to the edema
and poor blood supply to your legs due to vascular disease, you
developed an infection of the skin and healing ulcers on your
feet. You were given IV antibiotics to treat this infection. You
responded well but require continued treatment of the infection
with IV antibiotics.
.
In addition, vascular surgery performed an angiography and other
tests of you blood vessels in you legs which showed significant
blockages which require correction; if these are not corrected
you risk continued life threatening infections of the legs and
ampulation. Correction of these blockages was attempted while
you were here but was not success in the setting of only partial
sedation during the procedure. Thus, vascular surgery will be
arranging to use general anesthesia (complete sedation) for the
procudure to open the leg blood vessels; you have an appointment
with vascular surgery on [**7-18**] to further address this issue.
.
Given your strong preference to be closer to your family, you
were transferred to an outside care facility ([**Location (un) 25576**]) once
you stablized in order to continue the removal of the remaining
fluid you had accumulated and the complete your course of IV
antibiotics for the treatment for your infection.
.
The following changes were made you your medications:
- Please CONTINUE taking Furosemide 160mg PO twice daily.
- Please CONTINUE taking Metolazone 5mg daily.
- Please CONTINUE taking Vancomycin 1000 mg IV Q 24H
- Please CONTINUE taking MetRONIDAZOLE (FLagyl) 500 mg PO/NG Q8H
- Please CONTINUE taking Ciprofloxacin HCl 500 mg PO/NG Q12H
- Please continue to take all of your other home medications as
prescribed.
.
Please be sure to take all medication as prescribed.
.
Please be sure to weigh yourself daily and record your weight.
If you have more than a 3lb increase in your weight, please call
you doctor immediately.
.
Please be sure to keep all follow-up appointments with your PCP
and heart doctor.
.
It was a pleasure taking care of you and we wish you a speedy
recovery.
Followup Instructions:
Please be sure to keep all follow-up appointments with your PCP

[**9-1**] CT head: 1. Multiple right-sided facial fractures, small
right subdural hematoma within the right middle cranial fossa.
Extensive hemorrhage within the maxillary sinuses and sphenoid
sinuses. 2. Fracture line extending into the sella turcica is
concerning for injury to the carotid arteries.
[**9-1**] CT torso: 1. No acute intrathoracic, abdominal or pelvic
injury.
2. Fatty infiltration of the liver. 3. Diverticulosis.
[**9-1**] Ct C-spine: Possible widening of the anterior interspace at
the C5-6 level. If there is any concern for cervical spine
injury, an MRI of the cervical spine is recommended. Apparent
fracture of the anterior portion of the vertebral artery canal
at the level of C2. CTA of the neck is recommended to exclude
vertebral artery injury.
[**9-1**] CT face: 1. Multiple facial fractures, predominantly
right-sided. Concerning fracture to the sella and area of the
cavernous sinus. This raises concern for carotid injury.
Followup CTA of the head and neck is recommended. 2.
Nondisplaced right lateral wall orbital fracture with tiny foci
of intraorbital air.
[**9-1**] Xray pelvis, R femur, R knee, R tib/fib: no fx
[**9-1**] CTA head/neck: Irregular and diminutive caliber of the right
cavernous and supraclinoid ICA concerning for vascular injury.
Numerous skull base and facial fractures as detailed on the
recent CT of the facial bones. Stable right middle fossa
subdural hematoma without significant mass effect on the
underlying brain.
[**9-1**] B/l carotid imaging: Very slight narrowing of a portion of
the right cavernous carotid artery without evidence of intimal
flap or pseudoaneurysm formation. Although considered unlikely,
dissection is not entirely excluded. The left internal carotid
artery and left vertebral arteries are normal.
[**9-2**] xray R shoulder: Moderate glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis.
[**9-2**] MRI lumbar spine: The lumbar vertebral bodies are normal in
signal intensity, morphology and alignment. The conus is grossly
unremarkable. There is no evidence for epidural hematoma or
compression. No significant canal stenosis is seen. There is
mild lumbar spondylosis in the lower lumber spine. No acute
posttraumatic sequela in the lumbar spine seen.
[**9-2**] MRI C-Spine: The study is somewhat motion degraded. Within
limits of this examination, there is no evidence for compression
fracture or abnormal marrow signal. No evidence for ligamentous
injury or cord contusion is seen. There is a left paracentral
disk protrusion at C5- C6 which narrows the left neural foramen.
There are and disk-osteophyte complexes at C3-C4 and C4-C5
without significant stenosis. No evidence for acute
posttraumatic injury to the cervical spine. Cervical spondylosis
most prominent at C5-C6.
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt was transferred by [**Location (un) **] to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED and admitted to
the Trauma Surgery service under Attending physician [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **].
The patient spent the first night in the TSICU for frequent
neuro checks. He was not intubated at any time. He was loaded on
Dilantin for small SDH. There was initial concern for carotid
injury per the intial Ct Scan of the head and neck, but further
angiography and finally MRI was able to deny the presence of
carotid injury. The patient's spine was cleared clinically and
he was transferred to the floor without incident. Did well the
following day and PT was consulted and recommended no rehab at
this time. The patient had Plastic surgery, Ortho spine and
Neurosurg consults, and each service will follow the patient as
an outpatient. His facial fractures were non-operative at this
time.

Date of Birth: [**2133-4-4**] Sex: F
Service: Neonatology
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**], twin I, was a
36-week, 2795-gram [**Known lastname 43610**] product of a 30-year-old gravida 4,
para 0 to 2 mother with serologies O positive, antibody
negative, Rubella immune, rapid plasma reagin nonreactive,
hepatitis B not detected, group B strep status negative.
Delivery was by cesarean section secondary to spontaneous
rupture of this twin and breech positioning. There
were no septic risk factors.
Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**] was in the Newborn Nursery when she was
noted to have a dusky episode associated with apnea for which
she was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Weight was 2795 grams
(50 percentile), length was 19 inches, 48 centimeters (50-75
percentile), and head circumference was 32.5 cm (50
percentile). This was a well-developed [**Known lastname 43610**] given
gestational age. Her anterior fontanel was soft and flat.
Her face was symmetric. Her nares appeared patent. Her
oropharynx was moist and pink with palate intact. Her tinea
were well formed. Her neck was supple without pits or masses.
Her heart was in a regular rate and rhythm without murmurs.
Her lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. Her abdomen
was soft, nontender, and nondistended. She had no
hepatosplenomegaly. This was [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 33542**] [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 43610**]. The anus was
patent. She had no hair [**Hospital1 **] or sacral dimple on her back.
All extremities were intact. She had equal movement. Tone
was appropriate for gestational age.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM:
1. RESPIRATORY ISSUES: Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**] remained on room
air throughout her hospital stay. She had dusky episodes,
primarily associated with feedings. She would choke and
desaturate as low as the 40s, and her heart rate dipped as low
as 59 beats per minute. Throughout her hospital course as her
feeding coordination improved, these episodes became less
frequent. Her last bout was on [**2133-4-22**]. She has
subsequently done well without any noted apnea or bradycardia.
She is taking oral intake well without notable color changes
during feedings. The parents are comfortable with her
feeding.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES: Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**] has been
cardiovascularly stable with the exception of bradycardias
associated with feedings per above.
3. FLUIDS/ELECTROLYTES/NUTRITION ISSUES: Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**]
has been maintained breast milk 20 and Enfamil 20 throughout
her hospital course. She is currently feeding by mouth ad
lib, exceeding 120 cc/kg per day. Weight on discharge was
3325 grams, length 54 centimeters, head circumference 35
centimeters.
4. GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES: Baby girl [**Known lastname 29469**] was treated
with phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. She reached a peak
bilirubin of 15.8 and a direct bilirubin of 0.2 on [**4-9**].
She was treated with phototherapy for two days. Her last
bilirubin on [**4-13**] was 9.2/0.4.
5. HEMATOLOGIC ISSUES: Baby girl [**Known lastname 54939**] initial complete
blood count was notable for a white blood cell count of 9.4,
with a differential of 0 bands and 44 segmented neutrophils.
Her initial hematocrit was 49, and her platelets were 393.
She received no transfusions during her admission, and her
most recent hematocrit was 33.8 on [**2133-4-20**].
6. INFECTIOUS DISEASE ISSUES: An initial blood culture was
sent on admission on [**4-8**] which was negative. She was
treated with ampicillin and gentamicin for 48 hours which was
discontinued after the cultures were negative. She showed no
further signs of infection.
7. NEUROLOGIC ISSUES: Given the apnea and dusky episodes,
she had an initial head ultrasound which showed bilateral
choroid plexus blood. A repeat head ultrasound done on [**4-20**] was normal. Otherwise, she has been neurologically stable
throughout her hospitalization.
8. SENSORY/AUDIOLOGY ISSUES: Hearing screening was
performed with automated auditory brain stem responses, and
she passed on [**2133-4-8**].
9. OPHTHALMOLOGIC ISSUES: Eye examination was not
necessary due to her gestational age.
10. PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES: [**Hospital1 188**] Social Work was involved with the family. The contact
social worker is [**Name (NI) 4457**] [**Name (NI) 36244**], and she can be reached at
telephone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) **].

Chief Complaint:
Shortness of breath, dysphagia, weakness and fatigue
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] is an 86 y/o right-handed woman who was referred to
[**Hospital1 18**] with complaints of dysarthria, dysphagia and fatigue,
which her outpatient neurologist found concerning for myasthenia
[**Last Name (un) 2902**].
Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] explained that over the year prior to admission she
had noticed progressive weakness and fatigue, with difficulty
swallowing and speaking, increased napping, and new-onset
dyspnea. Her weakness seemed to develop over her entire body
simultaneously, with no discernable pattern of spread. Symptoms
are somwehat worse as the day goes on, and are not relieved by
resting. She reports increasing dysphagia (solids>liquids) with
a 20lb weight loss since the start of [**2149**]. She cannot drink
through a straw. She has also had to start using a walker since
[**Month (only) 404**]. Prior to begining to use the walker, she had three
falls in the preceding year, including one in which she
fractured her left wrist. Additionally, Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] reports that
she now naps much of the day, and as a consequence has been
sleeping less at night--with trouble both falling asleep and
staying asleep. She sleeps an average of 5 hours qNight.
Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] [**Last Name (Titles) **] that shortly before she began to feel week,
she was hospitalized for PNA, in [**2149-2-17**] (I have been unable
to find mention of this in her online medical record). She
thinks she initially recovered from that but is unsure she ever
returned to baseline before she began developing her current
symptoms. On ROS, she admitted to dyspnea on exertion (such as
taking a shower or getting dressed), and occasional dysuria, but
denies chest pain, palpitations, cough, fevers/chills, abdominal
pain, n/v/d, constipation, hematuri, melena and hematochezia. On
Neuro ROS, she admitted to occasional diplopia (horizontal),
which seems to come and go each day, as well as
gait-unsteadiness, but denied vertigo and fasciculations.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] was admitted to the neurology service after
progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, facial weakness and
double vision developed over the last 6-12 months. Based on her
clinical exam (with neck flexor/extensor weakness, bifacial
weakness, on diplopia on upgaze, shortness of breath with
sentences all of which worsened over the course of the day), she
was diagnosed with myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**]. Because of her tenous
cardiac health and the need for anticoagulation, she was
initially treated with 2 course of IVIG and mestinon with mild
improvement of her symptoms. After consulting with her primary
cardiologist, it was determined that the potential benefits
outweighed any risks for clot, so her coumadin was discontinued
and she completed plasmapheresis x 5.
Her anti-AchR antibodies and anti-Musk antibodies were negative,
suggesting that she has seronegative myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**]. She had
EMG performed and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1206**] felt that there was a strong
suggestion of myasthenia.
She intermittently had labile blood pressures and required
uptitration of her blood pressure medication. In addition, she
developed sustained atrial fibrillation after the 2nd
plasmapheresis cycle and was started on amiodarone on the
recommendation of cardiology. She returned to sinus rhythm.
Psychiatry and Palliative Care were consulted when she expressed
that she no longer wanted to continue with aggressive care. She
had developed a pneumonia and urinary tract infection. A family
meeting was held and she opted to not continue with aggressive
care. She had taken out her NG tube and did not want it
replaced. We offered her oral medications as she could tolerate,
but she opted to go home with hospice. A prescription for
cefpodoxime was given on discharge. She was given scripts for SL
morphine and Ativan.
Medications on Admission:
- Carvedilol 6.25mg PO BID
- Diltiazem 120mg PO daily
- Levothyroxine 112ug 6 days/wk, 168ug on the 7th day

Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane).
Discharge Instructions:
Ms. [**Known lastname 47342**] you were admitted to the neurology service after you
had months of progressive weakness, slurred speech, fatigue and
double vision. You were diagnosed with myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**] and
treated for myasthenia [**Last Name (un) 2902**] crisis initially with IVIG and
then with plasmapheresis. Although you showed some initial
improvement, your course was complicated by difficulty with
respirations and you required intermittent BiPAP for support.
Pulmonary was involved and recommended tracheostomy with
mechanical ventilation but you were opposed to this. We'd asked
palliative care and psychiatry to be involved and you felt
strongly that you did not wish to continue aggressive measures.
You were made CMO and hospice was arranged. You will be
discharged with prescriptions for your medications and can take
them with apple sauce if needed

Admission Date: [**2107-3-12**] Discharge Date: [**2107-3-18**]
Date of Birth: [**2030-1-25**] Sex: F
Service: NSU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 77-year-old
woman status post bilateral nephrectomy and on hemodialysis,
status post a DVT with IVC filter placement, who was at
[**Hospital3 7**] recuperating from her nephrectomy surgery,
and over the past week had developed mild left upper
extremity weakness. Workup included a MRI scan at [**Hospital3 9717**] which showed a right subdural hematoma in the right
cerebral hemisphere and right frontal subdural hygroma. The
patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 188**] for further management.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Right nephrectomy in [**2106**], left
nephrectomy in [**2093**], status post DVT with SVC filter
placement, she is HIT positive, breast cancer, MI in [**2106**],
hepatitis A and B.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Her temperature is 98.1,
heart rate is 89, BP is 157/72, respiratory rate is 18,
saturation is 96% on room air. Awake, alert, and oriented x 3
with no facial droop. Pupils are equal, round and reactive to
light and accommodation. EOMs are full. Cardiovascular with a
regular rate and rhythm. Chest is clear to auscultation
bilaterally. The abdomen is soft, nontender, and
nondistended. Positive bowel sounds. Extremities reveal no
edema. Muscle strength is [**4-21**] except for the left upper
extremity which is [**3-22**].
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the ICU for
close neurologic observation. The renal service was consulted
due to her need for hemodialysis. The patient was evaluated
by the neurosurgical service and felt to require bur hole
drainage of the subdural hematoma. The patient was seen by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1327**] and prepared for surgery.
On [**2107-3-14**] the patient underwent a right frontal
parietal craniotomy bur hole drainage of a subdural hematoma
without intraoperative complication. Postoperatively, the
patient had no complaints of headache. She reported improved
dexterity in the left hand. Vital signs were stable, and her
strength was [**4-21**] in all muscle groups. She had no drift. Her
face was symmetric. Her dressing was clean, dry, and intact.
She was transferred to the regular floor on postoperative day
1. Her subdural drain was removed. She had a repeat head CT
which showed good evacuation of the subdural. She continued
to be followed by the renal service and undergo every other
day renal dialysis. She was evaluated by the physical therapy
and occupational therapy service and felt to be safe for
discharge to home with home PT and OT. Her condition was
stable, and a repeat head CT prior to discharge showed a
stable condition of the evacuation of her subdural hematoma.
DISCHARGE FOLLOWUP: She was discharged on [**2107-3-18**] with
followup for staple removal on Monday, [**2-18**], at 10:00 a.m.
and followup with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] in 1 month for a repeat head CT.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Famotidine 20 mg p.o. b.i.d.
2. Percocet 1 to 2 tablets p.o. q.4h. p.r.n.
3. Metronidazole 500 mg p.o. q.12h. (for 5 days - to finish
up a course for C. difficile).
4. Dilantin 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: The patient's condition was stable
at the time of discharge.

Admission Date: [**2164-1-6**] Discharge Date: [**2164-1-11**]
Date of Birth: [**2164-1-6**] Sex: F
Service: NB
HISTORY: Baby Girl [**Known lastname 3659**] twin #1 was born at 35-6/7 weeks
gestation to a 31 year-old gravida III, para I, now III woman
with noncontributory past medical history and prenatal
screens of O positive, DAT negative, HBSAG negative, RPR
nonreactive, rubella immune, GBS negative.
Antenatal history:
This is a twin gestation with an estimated date of delivery
of [**2164-2-4**] who delivered by cesarean section for
multiple gestation under spinal anesthesia. Rupture of
membranes occurred at delivery yielding amniotic fluid. There
was no intrapartum fever or clinical evidence of
chorioamnionitis. The infant was vigorous at delivery, orally
and nasally bulb suctioned, dried, had Apgars of 8 and 9 at
one and five minutes respectively. Was transferred to the
regular nursery where she developed grunting respirations at
4 hours of age and was then transferred to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit for further care. Birth weight of 2140
grams which is 10th to 25th percentile. Length of 43 cm which
is 10th to 25th percentile, head circumference of 31.5 cm,
which is 25th to 50th percentile.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON ADMISSION: Shows preterm infant with
examination consistent with gestational age between 35 and 36
weeks gestation, had stable vital signs. Head, eyes, ears,
nose and throat: Head anterior fontanelle was soft and flat,
nondysmorphic, intact palate. No nasal flaring. Chest: There
were no retractions. Mild intermittent grunting respirations,
good breath sounds bilaterally. No adventitious sounds.
Cardiovascular: Well perfused, normal rate and rhythm.
Femoral pulses were normal. Normal S1, S2, no murmur. Abdomen
soft, nondistended, no organomegaly, no masses. Bowel sounds
active, patent anus. Genitourinary: Normal female genitalia.
Central nervous system: Active, alert, respirations.
Responsive to stimuli. Tone was appropriate for gestational
age and symmetric. Normal suck, root, gag, grasp. Skin
normal. Musculoskeletal normal. Straight spine. Hips intact.
Intact clavicles.
SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEM:
1. RESPIRATORY: The infant had transitional grunting,
flaring and retracting on admission which resolved
quickly thereafter. Has remained stable on room air since
admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit not
requiring any supplemental oxygen. Has had no issues with
apnea or bradycardia but does have intermittent brief
periods of oxygen saturation drift to the mid 80s and
comes back up on her own.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: The infant has remained hemodynamically
stable with no signs of a murmur, normal blood pressure
and heart rate.
3. FLUID, ELECTROLYTES AND NUTRITION: Enteral feedings were
initiated on the newborn day. No IV fluids were ever
initiated. The baby has been mostly p.o. feeding. For the
past 48 hours has been all p.o. feeding. Is presently
taking 140 ml per kilo per day of breast milk or Enfamil
20 with iron. Occasional p.g. feeds were required in the
first couple of days of life. No electrolytes have been
measured.
4. GASTROINTESTINAL: The infant has mild hyperbilirubinemia
with a peak bilirubin level of 10.9/0.3 on [**2164-1-11**]. She has required no phototherapy thus far. She is
recommended to have a repeat bilirubin level drawn
tomorrow on [**2164-1-12**].
CBCs and blood cultures were not done on admission so no
hematocrit testing was measured. She is pink and well
perfused.
5. INFECTIOUS DISEASE: There is no history of sepsis risk
factors so CBC and blood cultures were not drawn on
admission. She has not been treated with any antibiotics
and has shown no signs or symptoms of sepsis.
6. NEUROLOGY: The infant has maintained grossly normal
neurologic examination for gestational age.
7. SENSORY: Hearing screen should be done prior to
discharge from the hospital to home. It has not been done
at this time.
8. PSYCHOSOCIAL: There have been no active psychosocial
issues with this family at this time but if there are any
psychosocial concerns a [**Hospital1 64489**] social worker can be reached at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 8717**].
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Fair.

[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
76 year old man with CRI pre-op CABG
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
duplex to assess for renal artery stenosis//flow
INDICATIONS: Chronic renal insufficiency. Three coronary artery
bypass. Assess artery stenosis.
RENAL ULTRASOUND: Comparison is made to [**2166-10-10**]. The study
is limited by the patient's breath-holding ability for the
Doppler portion.
There is a discrepancy in renal size with the right kidney
measuring 7.6 cm, and the left measuring 11.8 cm. There is no
hydronephrosis or renal mass.
Doppler assessment of blood flow to both kidneys was severely
limited on the right, but there is a suggestion of a parvus
tardus waveform. The peak velocity within the artery was 12.5
cm. The renal vein is patent. The left kidney was better
evaluated, and the upstrokes appear more brisk with higher peak
velocities.
IMPRESSION: Small right kidney with findings most consistent
with chronic right renal artery stenosis. MRI/MRA may be
performed if there is unresponsive hypertension.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 2026**] was admitted from OSH for cardiac surgery evaluation.
In preoperative evaluation he had renal consult that worked him
up for increased creatinine. His creatinine continued to be
elevated and wa closely monitored. On [**10-21**] he was transferred
to the operating room for off pump coronary artery bypass graft
surgery, please see operative report for further details.
Surgery was uncomplicated and
he was brought to the CSRU for invasive monitoring. He was
weaned from sedation and and awoke neurologically intact. On
posterative day 1 he was extubated without incident. He
remained in the CSRU for close hemodynamic monitoring,
respiratory management, and renal function. Nephrology
continued to follow. He continued to progress physically but
with elevated creatinine. He was transferred to [**Hospital Ward Name **] 2 on
postoperative day 6. His creatinine remained elevated with
adequate urine output, allopurinol was restarted for elevated
uric acid. On postoperative day 8 he was ready for discharge
home with VNA services with follow up by own Nephrologist Dr

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
screening for organ donation after declared brain dead
History of Present Illness:
42 year old female with h/o SDH [**2-26**], EtOH abuse, ?seizure
disorder admitted to ICU following asystolic arrest. According
to her boyfriend, she was in her USOH until this a.m., when she
went for a walk. She came back and went to the bathroom, where
she collapsed. Her boyfriend heard her fall; when he found her,
he noted jerky motions of her upper ext bilaterally (?duration).
He moved her to the bed, where he saw she wasn't breathing/no
heart beat. He called EMS and started CPR; ~12 minutes before
they arrived. When EMS arrived, she was noted to be apneic,
pulseless, cyanotic, and cold. Initial EKG was asystole. She was
intubated in the field. She received epinephrine 1 mg IV X 3,
atropine 1 mg IV X 2, Narcan 2 mg X 1 -> PEA. Pacing was
attempted unsuccessfully. Another atropine 1 mg IV X 1 was given
and the pt converted to narrow-complex tachycardia (down time ~
20 minutes after EMS arrival). She was transported to [**Hospital1 18**] ED
where a LSC placed and pt received 950 cc NS, Cefazolin 2 g IV X
1, tetanus shot, and started on dopamine gtt. Foley was placed
with drainage of 250 cc of fluid. She is admitted to the MICU
for further management. Further history reveals that she had
stopped drinking alcohol ~ 3 days ago.

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was unresponsive on admission s/p cardiac arrest of
unclear etiology with estimated down time of 20-35 minutes.
Clinical picture and the need for aggressive repletion of
electrolytes were most consistent with a starvation/alcoholic
ketoacidosis resulting in electrolyte abnormalities which led to
cardiac arrhythmia and arrest. The patient had no brain stem
function on admission other than initially breathing over the
ventilator. She was cooled to 34 degrees celsius for 48 hours
and then rewarmed in an attempt to preserve brain function.
After the rewarming the patient did not develop any further
signs of improving neurologic status and was no longer breathing
over the ventilator, she continued to require pressors to
maintain adequate blood pressure. After a complete neurologic
exam once all electrolytes had been corrected and the patient
was normothermic, the patient was declared brain dead on
hospital day 3. The patient's brother was the next of [**Doctor First Name **] and
he elected to donate her organs. The NEOB then coordinated
further work up and evaluation for organ donation.

CT abdomen/pelvis prior to discharge ([**2184-12-21**]):
1. No interval change to known subcapsular and intraparenchymal
hematomas without CT findings to suggest superinfection. No new
fluid collections identified.
2. Resolution of small left pleural effusion with probably
stable right pleural effusion, which displaced posterior and
medial components. Moderate amount of interstitial septal
thickening involving the visualized aerated right lower lobe may
reflect interstitial pulmonary edema, however, in conjunction
with metastatic left lower lobe pulmonary nodules, lymphangitic
carcinomatosis cannot be excluded.
3. Stable left adrenal lesions and post-surgical changes without
evidence of bowel obstruction.
Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**11-25**]. Vancomycin and
Zosyn were started. A non-contrast CT abdomen/pelvis was
obtained given the patient's renal disease and showed a limited
evaluation of the liver parenchyma due to lack of intravenous
contrast. Expected post-radiofrequency ablation findings in the
right lobe of the liver, a small, nonobstructing left anterior
abdominal wall hernia, enlarged, nodular left adrenal gland
unchanged since [**2184-1-16**], multiple enlarged mesenteric
lymph nodes unchanged since the prior study, prior
pancreatectomy, splenectomy, partial gastrectomy, partial
hepatectomy and right adrenalectomy.
Overnight on hospital day 1 he was febrile to 103.1 with a
significant leukocytosis. He was continued on antibiotics and
cultures were sent. On [**11-28**] RUQ ultrasound was obtained and
demonstrated a 6.4 cm heterogeneously echoic lesion within the
right lobe of the liver, likely segment VIII, consistent with
prior radiofrequency ablation site, a rounded, 1.3 cm vascular
area within the radiofrequency ablation site which is suggestive
of a pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm appeared to arise from
an intrahepatic branch of the right hepatic artery. The portal
vein was patent.
ID service was consulted and patient was switched to meropenem.
On [**11-28**] patient developed worsening abdominal/back pain and
became diaphoretic. He was hypotensive with BP 82/70 and
relative hypoxia with oxygen saturation of 90 %. He received
bolus of NS with good response and was transferred to the ICU
for closer monitoring. Patient also had a 4% drop in HCT and was
transfused 1 unit of PRBCs without appropriate rise in
hematocrit. Central line was placed. 2 more units of PRBCs were
administered. Given ultrasound findings, patient was
administered bicarb and Mucomyst in preparation for angiography
and coil embolization of pseudoaneurysm which he underwent on
[**2184-11-29**]. At the time of the procedure, the pseudoaneurysm
appeared to be successfully obliterated with coiling. Post
procedure patient developed oliguric renal failure with
creatinine peaking around 7. Nephrology service was consulted
and he was managed conservatively. He did not require dialysis.
Renal failure subsequently resolved with a concomitant fall in
creatinine and marked increase in urine output. During this
time he continued to have a leukocytosis between 25-38,000 and
continued to periodically spike temps.
A non-contrast CT scan of the abdomen was obtained on [**12-2**] and
showed increasing size of hyperdensity in the right liver lobe
adjacent to the RF ablation and pseudoaneurism embolization
site, likely represents presence of a hematoma. Large
subcapsular hematoma, compressing the hepatic parenchyma. Since
he continued to spike fevers in presence of leukocytosis, there
was concern for superinfected hematoma. However, because of the
extent of liver damage and size of hematoma, it was deemed
unsafe to tap fluid as this could potentially negate the
tamponade effect of the capsule and may result in
exsanguination. He was managed conservatively and seemed to be
stable.
Overnight on [**12-5**] into [**12-6**] patient developed an acute drop in
hematocrit with relative hypotension. [**Name2 (NI) **] was transfused 2 units
of PRBCs. An urgent RUQ u/s was obtained and showed that the
pseudoaneurysm has decreased from [**2184-11-29**], and there is
now a small thrombus. The vessel remained patent, however. Given
these findings, patient was once again administered bicarbonate
and Mucomyst in preparation for angiography. He underwent repeat
coil embolization of pseudoaneurysm on [**12-7**]. Once again patient
developed oliguric ATN approximately 36 hours post procedure.
Although fluid intake was minimized he progressively developed
respiratory problems with desaturation when supine. CXR
revealed a large right sided pleural effusion. This was tapped
and drained on [**12-9**] with successful drainage of 1300 cc of
dark, blood-tinged exudative fluid. Initial Gram stain showed
4+ PMNs, but no bacteria and subsequent cultures were negative.
ATN subsequently resolved and he started auto-diuresing with
improvement in respiratory status.
Follow-up U/S on [**12-10**] showed complete obliteration of
pseudoaneurysm. His hematocrits were stable. Leukocytosis
persisted as did his fevers. Antibiotics were continued.
Superinfection of liver hematoma continued to be of high concern
but collection was not drained given high risk of the procedure.
He was transferred out of the SICU on [**12-14**]. TPN was stopped.
Kcals were done showing a daily kcal count of ~1300. Nutritional
supplements were given. Meropenum was continued for Klebsiella
bacteremia (at referring hospital) and subcapsular hematoma.
Klebsiella was pan-sensitive. ID recommended at least 3 weeks of
treatment using Ertapenum until [**1-5**]. A picc line was placed
on [**12-15**]. [**Last Name (un) **] followed for management of diabetes. He
received iv lasix for significant lower extremity edema. On
[**12-15**] a non-contrast CT was repeated showing stable large
subcapsular and intraparenchymal hematomas, without evidence of
active extravasation. Follow chest x-rays revealed a stable
right sided pleural effusion.
Psychiatry was consulted to evaluate for depressed mood,
tearfullness, and problems with sleep. It was felt that he was
dysphoric and recommendations included avoidance of ambien.
Ativan was recommended prn at HS. Outpatient psychiatry follow
up was discussed with the patient who agreed to think about it.
On [**12-19**], he continued to spike temperatures of 101 to 101.9. A
repeat U/A was negative. Blood and urine cultures are negative
to date. The possibility of a feeding tube was discussed but he
declined this and agreed to eat more and over the last 3 days of
his hospital stay he has steadily increased his po intake. He
continues to have low grade fevers. A CT scan obtained on
[**2184-12-21**] revealed a stable subcapsular hematoma. He is
tolerating a diabetic diet and ambulating regularly. He is
discharged home in good condition with VNA to administer IV
antibiotics for 2 more weeks. He has appropriate follow up
appointments scheduled.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 74199**] is a 55 year old man with a history of CML status
post allogeneic SCT complicated by GVHD of skin/gut on
immunosuppression who was admitted with RSV bronchiolitis that
was then complicated by hospital acquired pneumonia.
.
During this admission the following issues were addressed:
# Hypoxia: On admission the pt had a positive RSV assay on rapid
respiratory viral nasopharyngeal aspirate. The pt did not have
evidence of lower lung disease and his chest x-ray on admission
did not reveal an infiltrate. The pt also had a CTA of the chest
that was negative for PE. The pt was treated with
bronchodilators and received a single dose Synagis (15mg/kg) on
[**2104-12-5**] with improvement in oxygen saturation. During the
admission the pt required multiple transfers to the ICU for
hypoxia, and was diagnosed with hospital acquired pneumonia and
treated with Cefepime and Vancomycin initially. The pt then
developed a diffuse morbilloform eruption that was attributed to
Cefepime, and the antibiotic regimen for hospital-acquired
pneumonia was changed to Linezolid, Aztreonam, Cipro and Flagyl
per infectious disease recommendations. The pt was treated with
a total 14-day course and on discharge he was able to breathe
comfortably on room air and did not have any oxygen
desaturations on ambulation.
# CML: During this admission the pt was continued on his home
immunosuppressive regimen of prednisone, Cellcept and Neoral.
The pt was continued on his outpatient prophylaxis regimen of
acyclovir and posaconazole. The pt's most recent inhaled
pentamidine was on [**2104-11-25**]. During the admission the pt also
received a dose of intravenous immune globulin.

History of Present Illness:
History of Present Illness:
77M history of schizophrenia, neurogenic bladder presenting from
NH with ACS with resuscitation at [**Hospital1 2177**] 1 month ptp, brought in by
EMS due to hypoxia, concern for PNA at nursing home. The patient
is schizophrenic per history and is unable to provide a history
of his own. Per discussion with the floor nurse from his
nursing home, a CXR was obtained 4 days prior to admission for a
cough that was consistent with a pneumonia. He was started on a
Z-pack. One day prior to admission, he developed tachypnea and
started to desaturated in the the low 80's. EMS were call and
he was stat low 90's on a NRB. He was brought in by Ambulance.
In the ED, initial VS were T 99, HR 120, BP 104/79, RR 24
satting 92% on NRB. Labs showed WBC of 10.1, HCT of 43, plts
305. LFTs showed AP of 214 otherwise WNL. Coags were WNL. CMP
showed hypernatremia of 150, Cl of 112, BUN 33, with rest of BMP
in normal range, Lactate was 2.1, and valproate level was 27.
ABG was checked and pH was 7.51, pCO2 of 28, pO2 of 72. Given
tachypnea and hypoxemia as well as high work of breathing,
patient was intubated with fentanyl and midazolam for sedation.
Noted was food in oropharynx/larynx per ED resident on
intubation. His CXR showed a questionable aspiration pneumonia
as well as possible LLL process. CT scan showed bilateral PE and
likely pneumonia. He was empricially provided with
levofloxacin, metronidazole, and vancomycin.
His blood pressure dropped to 70/40 just before transfer to the
ICU. After an 3 additional 3L NS SBP increased to 100's.

Pertinent Results:
IMAGING:
CT ANGIO CHEST [**2185-6-24**] -
TECHNIQUE: CTA of the chest was performed per department
protocol. Oblique sagittal and coronal reformats were available
for review along with the axial images.
CT OF THE CHEST: There are small pulmonary arterial filling
defects in the subsegmental bronchi supplying the lingula (4:71)
as well as additional filling defect in the subsegmental right
lower lobe bronchi (4:87). An additional area of segmental
pulmonary embolus is seen in the apical segment of the right
upper lobe (4:33). There is no evidence of right heart strain.
Within the right middle and upper lobe there are extensive
nodular opacities as well as several more gound glass appearing
areas of opacity (4:61 and 4:27). There is extensive
atelectasis of the right lower lobe (4.83) with relative
[**Name (NI) 71062**] peripheral area within the collapsed lung. No
definitive arterial supply with embolus is seen in this area;
however in the setting of other emboli and configuration of this
finding, it is concerning for infarct. There is no pleural or
pericardial effusion. In the left hemithorax, there is a large
hiatal hernia with stomach and GE junction above the diaphragm.
This causes compressive atelectasis (4:102) on the adjacent
lung. The patient is intubated with endotracheal tube
terminating approximately 4 cm from the carina. An nasogastric
tube is seen in the esophagus but does not reach the GE junction
or the stomach. Subdiaphgramatically, gallstones are seen. The
aorta and the great vessels appear unremarkable. No suspicious
lytic or sclerotic lesions are seen within the bones.
IMPRESSION:
1. Right middle and upper lobe nodular opacities as well as
several areas of ground-glass opacity consistent with infectious
process.
2. Bilateral pulmonary emboli in the segmental and subsegmental
levels with no evidence of right heart strain. There is an area
of hypoenhancement within the atelctatic right lower lobe along
the periphery concerning for infarction.
3. Complete right lower lobe atelectasis.
4. Large diaphgramatic hernia.
5. Cholelithasis.
BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY VENOUS ULTRASOUND [**2185-6-24**] -
Grayscale and Doppler son[**Name (NI) **] of the left common femoral, left
superficial femoral, left popliteal vein show normal
compressibility, flow and augmentation. Note is made of
duplicated left superficial femoral veins. The left calf veins
show normal flow. Grayscale, color, and spectral Doppler
examination of the right common femoral vein shows normal
compressibility and flow. Note is made of duplicated right
superficial femoral veins. There is partially occlusive thrombus
noted within
one of the right proximal superficial femoral veins which is of
unclear
chronicity. The distal superficial femoral vein, the entire
length of the
other superficial femoral vein, popliteal vein appear patent.
The right
posterior tibial veins were patent. The right peroneal veins
were not
visualized.
IMPRESSION:
1. Partially occlusive thrombus noted within one of the two
right proximal
superficial femoral veins which is of unclear chronicity. Right
peroneal veins were not visualized.
2. No DVT in left lower extremity.
ECHO [**2185-6-24**] -
Echocardiographic Measurements
Results Measurements Normal Range
Left Ventricle - Ejection Fraction: >= 55% >= 55%
Findings
LEFT VENTRICLE: Normal LV wall thickness, cavity size, and
global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Suboptimal technical
quality, a focal LV wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded.
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion.
AORTIC VALVE: Mildly thickened aortic valve leaflets. No AR.
MITRAL VALVE: Mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. Mild (1+)
MR.
PERICARDIUM: There is an anterior space which most likely
represents a fat pad, though a loculated anterior pericardial
effusion cannot be excluded.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows.
Suboptimal image quality as the patient was difficult to
position. Suboptimal image quality - ventilator.
Conclusions
Technically suboptimal study.
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. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly
thickened (?#). No definate aortic regurfgitation is seen. The
mitral leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen. There is an anterior space which most
likely represents a very prominent fat pad.
IMPRESSION: Very suboptimal image quality. Normal biventricular
cavity sizes with preserved global biventricular systolic
function. Mild mitral regurgitation.
CXR [**2185-6-26**]
Compared with [**2185-6-25**] at 5:46 a.m., an NG tube is again noted.
It overlies the lower chest, but appears to overlie the gastric
fundus, which is elevated due to a diaphragmatic herniation, as
seen on [**2185-6-24**] CT scan. If clinically indicated, a lateral view
could help to confirm this. Again noted is ET tube in
satisfactory position above the carina. Prominence
of right paratracheal soft tissues is noted, but may be
accentuated due to
patient rotation. There is focal opacity in the right upper
zone and patchy opacity in the right lower zone medially. These
findings are better depicted on [**2185-6-24**] CT scan. The lung apices
are excluded from the film. Electronic battery pack is noted
overlying left iliac crest.
CXR [**2185-7-6**]
FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of [**7-5**], the orogastric
tube has been
removed. Other monitoring and support devices remain in place.
Persistent
opacification at the left base with progressive clearing of
opacification at
the right base. No vascular congestion.
CXR [**7-8**] Portable:
IMPRESSION: Increased opacification in left base with some
volume loss.
CXR [**7-10**] Portable: IMPRESSION: Possible area of loculated fluid
with trapped air verses pneumothorax verses atypical appearance
of stomach bubble near the left CPA. Follow up upright chest
radiograph with the patient swallowing 15 cc of barium just
prior to imaging should help rule out these etiologies
CXR [**7-11**] PA/Lat: CONCLUSION:
There is no significant pneumothorax.
ECG [**7-17**]: Sinus rhythm. Borderline low QRS voltage. Possible
inferior wall myocardial infarction of indeterminate age. The
lateral lead Q waves are likely not representative of a
myocardial infarction but rather septal Q waves. Compared to the
previous tracing of [**2185-7-8**] the sinus rate has decreased by 20
beats per minute with no other diagnostic change.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 71063**] is a 77 yo M transferred from MICU [**7-7**] with
schizophrenia, neurogenic bladder, without guardianship, and
found to have pneumonia and bilateral pulmonary emboli causing
hypoxia/hypotension requiring pressors and intubation. He has
been relatively stable on the floor while undergoing treatment
for UTI.
# UTI- Currently has suprapubic catheter in setting of
neurogenic bladder and was found to have GNR's 10-100K in urine
on [**2185-7-3**]. Species on [**7-3**] was Alcaligenes achromobacter.
Patient complained of need to void urine on [**2185-7-11**] several
times which was new for him. His suprapubic catheter was changed
[**2185-7-13**] by urology. Levofloxacin was started on [**2185-7-11**] per
[**2185-7-3**] sensitivities; for total 14 day course (last day is
[**7-24**]).
# Acute Pulmonary Emboli: Patient previously on Coumadin. [**2185-6-24**]
CTA showed bilateral pulmonary emboli in the segmental and
subsegmental levels without evidence of right heart strain.
There was no clear cause for why he developed a PE. There was an
area of hypoenhancement within the atelectatic right lower lobe
along the periphery concerning for infarction. Increased
coumadin from 1mg po to 2mg po daily on [**2185-7-13**]. Further
increased coumadin from 2mg po to 4mg po daily on [**2185-7-16**]. His
INR has been difficult to manage, likely in setting of
antibiotics, malnutrition, Levothyroxine. On discharge, his
Coumadin has just been restarted at 3mg after he has been
supratherapeutic for the past 2 days. As an outpatient, he
should have his INR followed (check in 48-72hrs). If his INR <2,
he should be bridged with Lovenox 60mg q12h due to high risk for
thromboembolism. On discharge, he is on room air, slightly
tachypneic and tachycardic but has been stable.
# Tachycardia/Hypotension: Related to above. Heart rates have
been in 80-110's. SBP <80s in the ICU requiring pressors.
Likely due to known pulmonary emboli with infection. Patient
does not currently have sx of infection, so sepsis is less
likely cause. It may be from pain, since patient is relatively
unable to communicate.
# Schizophrenia- Difficult to evaluate mental status. No
evidence of responding to internal stimuli. Baseline over past
few months [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 3504**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] is that he is able to communicate
pain/discomfort but does not have capacity. He is mostly lucid
but answers questions in mumbles and broken statements. Patient
had court date for guardianship on [**2185-7-19**] which was approved.
He sometime says inappropriate comments but not frequently.
Patient was ambulatory in [**Month (only) 205**] with assistance per previous [**Hospital1 1501**].
We continued his Depakote, Risperdal, and Remeron.
# Pneumonia, MRSA: Treated with 8 day course of Vanc/Zosyn for
bilateral patchy infiltrate and found to be MRSA positive on
bronchial washings. Patient was hypotensive and hypoxic
requiring intubation and pressors for 10 days in MICU. Extubated
[**2185-7-6**]. [**2185-7-6**] CXR: Persistent opacification at the left base
with progressive clearing of right base without vascular
congestion. Later CXR cleared, he has finished treatment.
# Hypothyroidism: Levothyroxine started this admission for TSH
8.6 in setting of acute septic shock. TSH 7.8 on [**2185-7-9**]. He
should continue levothyroxine 25mcg po daily. He will need
outpatient follow up of TSH in 1 month [**2185-8-8**]
# FEN: IVF prn, replete electrolytes prn, ground solids, if ever
needs tube feeds, needs post-pyloric b/c hiatal hernia
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
- Continued on Levofloxacin until [**7-24**]
- Guardianship obtained during admission.
- Will need outpatient psych follow-up
- He will need close management of coumadin with goal INR [**12-24**]
indefinitely. He should have a bridge with Lovenox 60mg q12 if
ever INR<2. Discharge Coumadin dose is 3mg.
- please check TSH and free T4 on [**2185-8-8**]. Patient started on
levothyroxine [**2185-7-3**] for low Triiodothyronine Thyroxine (T4),
Free 0.78* and TSH 8.5.

Discharge Instructions:
Mr. [**Known lastname 71063**], you were admitted to the [**Hospital1 827**] on [**2185-6-24**] for shortness of breath at your nursing
facility. You were found to have pneumonia with MRSA in your
lungs in addition to multiple blood clots in your lungs. This
required you to be in the intensive care unit on a ventilator
for over 1 week and requiring medicine to keep your blood
pressure normal. After you had several days of antibiotics for
your pneumonia, you were taken off the ventilator. Due to your
lung clots, you will need to be on coumadin (a blood thinner)
indefinitely. We have continued to change your dose depending on
your INR (which needs to be between [**12-24**] to help prevent blood
clots). You will be returning to your nursing home. Please
follow up with your primary care physician.
Followup Instructions:
Please follow up with your Primary Care physician at [**Name9 (PRE) **]

Chief Complaint:
Lower GI bleed
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
EGD [**2167-11-5**]
Small bowel capsule study
Blood Transfusion
History of Present Illness:
48 y.o. male with hyperlipidemia and past bleeding duodenal
ulcer presenting with dark stools and hematochezia *4 days. He
has had four episodes of GI bleeding since earlier this year. In
[**2167-5-23**], he had several days of dark stools with some mixed
blood; upper and lower endoscopy revealed no active bleed. A
similar episode occurred in [**2167-7-23**], when upper/lower
endoscopies and capsule study were all negative for active
bleeding. More recently, he had dark tarry stools last month,
for which he again sought care at [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital. Per patient
report, upper endoscopy revealed a bleeding duodenal ulcer that
was both clipped and cauterized. Colonoscopy revealed
hemorrhoids and a single polyp, that was removed (pathologic
diagnosis unknown). The patient does not think any of his upper
endoscopies were accompanied by biopsies. He has not been
treated for H. pylori infection.
Since his procedures in [**Month (only) **] through this past weekend, the
patient did not have any recurrences or other GI complications.
On Monday [**11-2**], he had recurrent dark, tarry stools. He saw his
PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) 1023**] ordered labs notable for Hct of 37 (per patient
report). For the next several days, he continued to have dark
tarry stools, but no other significant symptoms. This morning,
he awoke at 4:00 am with palpitations and mild dyspnea, and had
another bowel movement with dark stools and some blood on the
toilet paper. Denies abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or BRBPR.
He went to the ED at [**Hospital **] Hospital, where he received 800 cc
NS and IV famotidine for guaiac positive stool. There, an NG
lavage was negative. He was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
evaluation.
In [**Hospital1 18**] ED, the patient reported lightheadedness, dizziness,
and dyspnea (with movement). Endorsed nausea but denied
abdominal pain. His initial VS: 97.7 96 124/73 18 99% RA. Hct
18.5. The patient was given 1 liter NS and IV pantoprazole. A
second liter of NS was started. ECG showed sinus tachycardia at
96 bpm. He was seen by GI who recommended obtaining OSH records
for prior endoscopic reports, and repeating EGD here. He was
cross-matched for two units but no RBC's were transfused, prior
to being sent up to MICU.
Upon arrival to the MICU, the two units of packed RBCs were
ordered and transfusion was initiated. The patient reports
feeling mild dyspnea with exertion, but denies abdominal pain,
nausea, vomiting, or any more bowel movements of any kind since
4:00 am this morning. Denies recent NSAID use.

DIAGNOSIS, ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Mr. [**Known lastname **] had a
diagnosis
of anti-K antibody at outside hospital which was confirmed at
[**Hospital1 18**].
Anti-K antibody is clinically significant and capable of causing
hemolytic transfusion reactions. In the future, Mr. [**Known lastname **]
should
receive K-antigen negative products for all red cell
transfusions.
Approximately 91% of ABO compatible blood will be K-antigen
negative. A
wallet card and a letter stating the above will be sent to the
patient.
EGD [**2167-11-5**]:
Small hiatal hernia
No bleeding site noted
Previous duodenal resection with end to side anastomosis of the
distal bulb
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum
Abdominal Xray [**2167-11-7**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Nonspecific bowel gas pattern without evidence of
obstruction. Unusual
appearance in the upper abdomen with dense material, question
heterotopic
ossification iatrogenic material. Clinical correlation is
requested. If
there is no prior imaging through this area, then a CT scan
would be
recommended for further assessment.
2. Focal bone lesion in the left proximal femur. Dedicated left
proximal
femur radiographs are recommended for further assessment.
CT Abdomen/Pelvis w/contrast [**2167-11-7**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Abnormal ossification involving the anterior abdominal wall
communicating with the costochondral junctions of the lower ribs
and sternum is in keeping with heterotopic ossification after
either surgery or trauma.
2. No evidence of small or large bowel obstruction.
3. Multiple matted small bowel loops abutting the lower anterior
abdominal wall suggests adhesions.
Chest (PA & LAT) [**2167-11-7**]:
The right hemidiaphragm is elevated. Allowing for this, heart
size is
borderline. The aorta is minimally unfolded and slightly
calcified. No CHF, focal infiltrate, or effusion is identified.
Small bowel capsule study [**2167-11-10**]:
PROCEDURE INFO & FINDINGS:
1. Suture material at the duodenal bulb.
2. Normal small bowel. No active bleeding site or ulcer (s)
seen.
Brief Hospital Course:
48 y/o M with multiple episodes of GI bleeding over past year,
with duodenal ulcers and polyps identified, presenting with
guaiac positive stools and significant hematocrit drop over past
72 hrs.
1. GI Bleed: Pt initially presented with melena and was found
to have Hct of 18. He was transfused a total of 4 units in the
ICU and Hct thereafter remained stable at 27-29. He was seen by
the gastroenterology team who an EGD that was unremarkable. The
GI team subsequently performed a small bowel capsule study that
also did not reveal any site of intra-abdominal bleeding. He
was maintained on IV PPI gtt initially at the ICU, then
transitioned to IV PPI [**Hospital1 **] on the floor and eventually to po PPI
[**Hospital1 **] by the time of discharge. Pt did not complain of further
episodes of melena during hospital admission and was monitored
on telemetry without any significant events. He was advised to
follow-up with his outpatient gastroenterologist on discharge.
2. Fever: Upon transfer from ICU to floor, pt developed fevers
peaking at 102. At the onset of his fevers, he complained of
abdominal pain, distention, and difficulties passing flatus.
Abdominal x-ray was performed that did not show obstruction. Pt
was started on IV cipro, flagyl, and vancomycin for possible
intra-abdominal infection. A CT abdomen revealed old changes
from his prior surgery but no acute intra-abdominal process. A
CXR and UA was also negative for any source of infection. Urine
culture and two sets of blood cultures were negative. (Of note,
two sets of blood cultures were still pending on discharge.) He
improved markedly on the IV antibiotics. WBC decreased from 13
at time of fevers to 5 by time of discharge. Fevers, abdominal
pain, and obstipation resolved and he was transitioned to po
cipro and flagyl. He was told to continue the po antibiotics at
home for a total course of 10 days, for empiric coverage of
bacterial translocation in the setting of GI bleeding.
3. CT Findings: A CT abdomen was performed to evaluate for
intra-abdominal process that could be causing pt's fevers and
abdominal pain. The CT was negative for acute processes but
revealed several incidental findings that pt confirmed were due
to his prior bowel surgery. These included abnormal
ossifications of the anterior abdominal wall and multiple matted
small bowel loops consistent with adhesions. He was also noted
to have a proximal femoral lesion suspicious for fibrous
dysplasia which per patient was due to a bone biopsy he had had
in the past. He also had an IVC filter with struts extending
beyond the lumen of the inferior vena cava. This was discussed
with an interventional radiologist who did not feel that this
required intervention.
4. Iron Deficiency Anemia: Pt had hx of iron deficiency anemia
and was taking daily ferrous sulfate supplements. His ferrous
sulfate was temporarily discontinued while he was in the
hospital to better distinguish between melena and dark stools
and because he complained of constipation. He was discharged
back on his home ferrous sulfate with the addition of a stool
softener.
5. Hyperlipidemia: No acute issues. He was continued on his
home simvastatin.

Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure taking care of you at the hospital. You were
admitted with dark stools and found to have a very low blood
count. You were admitted to the intensive care unit where you
received a blood transfusion. Your blood counts rose with the
transfusion and you were transferred to the general medicine
floor where you complained of abdominal pain and were found to
have a fever. An x-ray of the abdomen and a CT scan of the
abdomen did not show any acute process. You were started on IV
antibiotics for your fever and abdominal pain and improved
significantly. You were transitioned to two oral antibiotics
that you should continue to take for five more days (until
Monday [**2167-11-16**]).
For work-up of your dark stools, an EGD was performed that was
unremarkable. You also underwent a small bowel capsule study
that also did not reveal any significant findings. You should
follow-up with your gastroenterologist for continued monitoring
of your symptoms.
The following changes were made to your medications:
1) Pantoprazole was increased to 40mg twice a day
2) Ciprofloxacin 500mg every 12 hours was started (continue
until [**2167-11-16**])
3) Metronidazole 500mg every 8 hours was started (continue until
[**2167-11-16**])
4) Colace 100mg twice a day was started. This is a stool
softener because your iron can cause constipation.
Please continue your iron supplements.

to the previous tracing of [**2188-3-25**] the complete left
bundle-branch block and the ST segment depressions are new and
consisetnt with acute ischemia.
ECG [**2190-10-15**]:
Sinus tachycardia. The P-R interval is prolonged. Left axis
deviation. Right bundle-branch block with left anterior
fascicular block. Compared to the previous tracing of [**2190-10-14**]
the rate is slower and ST segment depression is no longer
present.
TTE [**2190-10-15**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with distal inferior hypokinesis. There is no
ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. A bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis is present. The
aortic valve prosthesis appears well seated, with normal
leaflet/disc motion and (top normal) transvalvular gradients. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild to
moderate ([**11-29**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2188-3-24**], a
aortic bioprosthesis is now seen. In addition very focal distal
inferior hypokinesis is now seen.
Head CT [**2190-10-15**]:
Impression:
1. Bilateral periventricular hypodensities likely representing
chronic
ischemic changes. There is a right caudate infarct of
undeterminate age. If anacute infarct is suspected, MRI is
recommended for further evaluation.
2. Dense opacification of the left maxillary sinus with
calcification may
represent fungal infection.
Unilateral Upper Extremity Ultrasound [**2190-10-16**]:
IMPRESSION: No evidence of right upper extremity DVT.
Studies Pending at Discharge:
Blood Cultures from [**10-14**] and [**10-15**] remained negative at
discharge but will be held for a full week each.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is an 86 yo M with CAD s/p CABG, BPH admitted following
left total knee arthroplasty revision which was complicated by
significant intra-operative and post-operative blood loss and
hypotension. He was initially admitted to the Medical Intensive
Care Unit and his hospital course was notable for acute blood
loss anemia requiring 12 units pack red blood cells in total as
well as cardiac biomarker elevation related to increased demand
from anemia, hypotension, and tachycardia.
#Revision of left knee arthroplasty/Intra- and Post-Operative
Acute Blood Loss Anemia/Hypotension:
Patient suffered 1.2L blood loss in the OR and had
intraoperative hypotension. He was admitted to the Medical
Intensive Care Unit where he was transfused to a hematocrit of
>30 which required 12 units in total including in the OR.
Following hemodynamic stabilization the patient was transferred
to the medical floor where betablockers and diuretics were
restarted. He was also started on prophylactic anticoagulation
with no signs of active bleeding.
#CAD s/p CABG/NSTEMI:
Following surgery the patient developed an elevation in his
cardiac biomarkers with elevation in TnT but without elevation
in CK-MB index. It was felt this was reflective of potential
fixed obstruction with increased cardiac demand from
hypotension, anemia, tachycardia, and withholding of home
beta-blockers. Cardiology was consulted who felt there was no
further intervention required. An echocardiogram was obtained
which showed only a focal distal inferior hypokinesis which was
not felt to represent an acute coronary syndrome as detailed
above. EF was preserved. Patient was continued on aspirin,
betablocker, and statin when hemodynamically stable.
#Chronic diastolic heart failure:
Initially beta-blockade and diuretics were held, but these were
restarted when the patient became hemodynamically stable and
when the patient became mildly volume overloaded following
stablization of bleeding. He was restarted on home diuretic
therapy with furosemide 40 mg a day with good improvement.
#Encephalopathy:
Patient developed encephalopathy post-operatively felt to be due
to a combination of hypotension, anesthesia, and narcotics for
pain control. He failed a speech evaluation in this setting and
was made NPO. His encephalopathy cleared prior to discharge and
he was cleared by speech and swallow for a ground solid and
nectar-thickened liquid diet.
#Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy: Terazosin was held in setting of
hypotension but restarted prior to discharge. Pt voided after
removal of foley catheter without incident.
#CODE: FULL
#Disposition: Patient was discharged to rehab with Orthopedics
and cardiology follow-up.
Transitional Issues:
-Pt was previously on no limitation of diet and will need
further speech and swallow evaluation to be advanced back to
full liquid diet without limitations.
-Pt will continue physical therapy and knee kept in immobilizer
until cleared by orthopedics.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital after your left total knee
replacement revision. You had a significant amount of blood loss
during surgery and required blood transfusions in the Intensive
Care Unit. You were noted to have stress on your heart, but did
not have a true heart attack. You also had a CT scan of your
head which did not show any bleeding, but did show evidence of a
possible old stroke. Therefore, it is important that you follow
up with your primary care physician and cardiologist once you
are discharged from rehab to see if you require any
modifications to current medication regimen or if you require
any additional testing.
You also had a speech and swallowing evaluation prior to
discharge to rehab which showed some difficulties with
swallowing, likely due to weakness. You were put on thickened
liquids and ground foods in order to help prevent aspiration of
food into your lungs, which can cause respiratory problems.
Please make sure to make follow up appointments with Orthopedics
and cardiology. Your rehab will help make a follow up
appointment with your PCP after discharge.
In addition:
1. Please return to the emergency department or notify your
physician if you experience any of the following: severe pain
not relieved by medication, increased swelling, decreased
sensation, difficulty with movement, fevers greater than 101.5,
shaking chills, increasing redness or drainage from the incision
site, chest pain, shortness of breath or any other concerns.
2. Please follow up with your primary physician regarding this
admission and any new medications and refills.
3. Resume your home medications unless otherwise instructed.
4. You have been given medications for pain control. Please do
not drive, operate heavy machinery, or drink alcohol while
taking these medications. As your pain decreases, take fewer
tablets and increase the time between doses. This medication can
cause constipation, so you should drink plenty of water daily
and take a stool softener (such as colace) as needed to prevent
this side effect. Call your surgeons office 3 days before you
are out of medication so that it can be refilled. These
medications cannot be called into your pharmacy and must be
picked up in the clinic or mailed to your house. Please allow
an extra 2 days if you would like your medication mailed to your
home.
5. You may not drive a car until cleared to do so by your
surgeon.
6. Please keep your wounds clean. You may shower starting five
(5) days after surgery, but no tub baths or swimming for at
least four (4) weeks. No dressing is needed if wound continues
to be non-draining. Stitches will be removed at your first f/u
appt.
7. Please call your surgeon's office to schedule or confirm your
follow-up appointment in 2 weeks.
8. Please DO NOT take any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medications (NSAIDs such as celebrex, ibuprofen, advil, aleve,
motrin, etc).
9. ANTICOAGULATION: Please continue your lovenox for four (4)
weeks to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). [**Male First Name (un) **]
STOCKINGS x 6 WEEKS.
10. WOUND CARE: Please keep your incision clean and dry. It is
okay to shower five days after surgery but no tub baths,
swimming, or submerging your incision until after your four (4)

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr [**Known firstname **] [**Known firstname **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1538**] is a 35 YO M who was found down
unresponsive in the floor of his apartment building who comes
with alcohol intoxication, cocaine use and opiod use.
.
#. Alcohol withdrawal - Pt was drinking up to 2 days ago
aproximately 2 pints per day. Initially he was very somnolent
and required Narcan (see below) and there was concern that he
may need to be [**Last Name (LF) 86302**], [**First Name3 (LF) **] was admitted to the ICU. His initial
alcohol level was 186. Initially he was tachycardic,
hypertensive, combative, diaphoretic and there was concern for
alcohol withdrawal and given lack of initial info he was given
10 mg of IV Valium and put on CIWA protocol. Her required a
total of 65 mg of IV Valium. He also received multiple Banna
bags. He was discharged on a PPI for possible alcohol gastritis
that can be stopped if he does not have symptoms; Folate, MVI
and Thiamine.
.
#. Opioid overdose - Pt has tracings in dorsum of hand and
positive urine for opioids. Furthermore, responded to narcan in
the ER and was admitted for monitoring. Pt reports taking 2 long
white tablets of unknown content, but denies any heroin use. He
denies any SI, but states he would not care if he died. He did
not require any Narcan or intubation in the ICU and slowly woke
up within 24 hours after admission.
- Hepatitis screening was negative
- He reports being negative for HIV, but did not consent for us
to test him
.
#. Cocaine - Pt will get very agitated, diaphoretic, upon
admission and he was positive for cocaine. He was placed a 0.1
clonidine patch.
.
#. Anemia - Pt has normocytic normochromic anemia with normal
RDW. This still could be concerning for acute bleeding. His iron
panel was compatible with iron deficiency, probably for poor
diet +/- minor GIB in the setting of alcohol gastropathy (not
scoped). He is being discharged on Iron tablets. He did not
require any RBCs. His HCT is 34.2.
.
#. ECG Changes ?????? Pt with STE in infero-lateral leads, which
could be only secondarily to tachycardia. He was rule dout
without any elevation in CE. Upon discharge he had Minimal ST
segment elevation that are non specific according to cardiology.
They could be compatible with minimal pericardial disease, but
he did not have any other symptoms.
.
#. Psych - Pt reports he would not care if he died and
over-dosed himself. Furthermore, initially he was very confused,
aggresive and in danger to harming himself or others and
required 4-point leather restraints as well as chemical
restraints with IV haldol. He is currently coherent and wanting
detox. According to psyychiatry he is capable of making
decission of going to detox program and leaving the hospital.
.

History of Present Illness:
61 yo M w/ h/o ETOH abuse, smoker, Supraglottic SCC stage [**Doctor First Name 690**],
initially admitted on [**5-13**] for G tube placement course c/b
respiratory failure, C-diff infection, and psuedomonal PNA.
.
He initially presented with a sore throat, dysphagia and
anorexia who on fiberoptic laryngoscopy found a large
supraglottic mass. A biopsy was done and final pathology
confirmed poorly differentiated SCC stage [**Doctor First Name 690**]. He was admitted
to an OSH on [**2111-5-13**] specifically for a G-tube placement due to
this large subglottic mass. His course was c/b ETOH withdrawal
requiring benzos prn, then developed PNA with cultures revealing
Psedomonas. He subsequently developed respiratory failure and
was initially intubated on [**2111-5-16**], extubated on [**2111-5-25**].
However, he had to reintubated by ENT on [**2111-5-28**] with question

The pt. was initially admitted with a WBC 11.9, however his WBC
continued to drop, as low as 0.6, becoming neutropenic, probably
secondary to dose of CarboTaxol received at the [**Location 1268**] VA.
He received several doses Neupogen, after which his WBC
increased, currently 12.1 on [**2111-6-23**]

MICROBIOLOGY:
.
IMAGING:
CT head [**2111-6-9**]
- No acute intracranial hemorrhage or masses is seen.
- Large bilateral posterior cervical triangle masses, likely
metastatic,
necrotic lymph nodes.
.
CT chest [**2111-6-9**]
- Extensive necrotic lymphadenopathy of the supraclavicular
region, with
apparent occlusion of both internal jugular and subclavian
veins.
- Moderate-to-large right pleural effusion and small left
pleural
effusion, with associated atelectasis involving the entire
right lower
lobe.
- Biapical opacities may reflect radiation treatment if there is
such a
history.
- Ground-glass opacities throughout the remainder of the lungs
are
nonspecific, possibly reflecting edema or infection. A more
focal
opacity in the lower right upper lobe suggests pneumonia.
- Axillary lymphadenopathy and borderline mediastinal nodes.
- Extensive subcutaneous edema.
.
Chest Xray [**2111-6-9**]
- Multifocal opacities consistent with pneumonia.
- Bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than left.
- Tracheostomy tube in appropriate position.
.
MRA of neck [**2111-6-12**]:
- No evidence of arterial occlusion or invasion identified by
large masses
in the neck.
- There is no evidence of occlusion of the superior vena cava
seen.
- Both jugular veins are occluded, the left vein is occluded in
the upper
third, while the right vein is occluded by tumor near the
skull base.
- Partial visualization of both subclavian veins with findings
suspicious
for invasion and extension of tumor through the right internal
jugular
vein to the junction of right subclavian vein.
.
ECHO [**2111-6-10**]
- EF > 55%
- Normal study. Preserved biventricular cavity sizes with normal
global and regional systolic function.
Brief Hospital Course:
61 yo M with large supraglottic SCC here for XRT, s/p trach for
resp. failure, now on trach collar. Also with pseudomonal PNA,
R pleural effusion, and C-diff infection.
.
# Supraglottic SCC with potential compression of bilateral IJs
on MRI. Pt is s/p 1 dose carboplatin/paclitaxel prior to
transfer and was temporarily neutropenic, but now resolved after
G-CSF. Heme-onc is following and restarted
carboplatin/paclitaxol on [**6-30**] with goal of improving
radiotherapy efficacy. He is also s/p 15 doses XRT since
arrival in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], for a total of 16 treatments per Rad-onc. He
had an almost immediate reaction consisting of facial swelling
and erythema after the 1st dose, which is now resolved. He has
had good response to the XRT with significant decrease in size
of his neck mass. Pt is receiving supportive care with pain
control with Dilaudid & Fentanyl prn though has not required
pain control recently. There is a plan for family meeting with
heme-onc, rad-onc, and medicine team today or tomorrow.
.
# Respiratory: Pt is currently satting well on trach collar with
FiO2 of 35%. Pt had pseudomonal PNA (s/p 12-day course of
meropenem + gentamycin) and large R plueral effusion. Also
treated for stenotrophomonas in his sputum (10-day course of
bactrim). He was previously on intermittent ventilation for
temporary desats thought to be related to worsening of pleural
effusion off ventilation. He has not needed ventilation in past
2 weeks. CXR shows large R pleural effusion with some increased
organization/consolidation; this has been stable. Effusion is
likely due to lymphedema and will most likely reaccumulate if
drained. He continues to have secretions that require suctioning
despite good cough, though suctioning frequency has greatly
decreased. Antibiotics were completed on [**6-28**] however sputum
from [**6-28**] contained >25 PMNs and grew 4+ pseudomonas, now
resistant to meropenem. No other signs of infection-- afebrile,
no leukocytosis, no change in O2 requirement. He did have
copious white trach secretions (req suction q1h) at the time but
now has greatly decreased. He was started today ([**7-1**]) on cipro
for tracheobronchitis. Finally, he receives albuterol/atrovent
MDIs through trach.
.
# RUE DVT, seen on US:
- Cont. heparin gtt, bridging to coumadin
- continue coumadin 5mg qhs
.
# Endocrine issues. Hyponatremia/hyperkalemia FeUrea = ~45%.
Differential diagnosis: SIADH (pulmonary, SSC,) vs. adrenal
insufficiency vs. hypothyroidism (all not very much likely since
they have been present for a long time and hyponatremia now
new). Random cortisol level relatively high, and now off dex
since [**6-15**] --> suggests adrenal insufficiency unlikely. TFTs
show elevated TSH, but nl T4, T3 more consistent w/sick
euthyroid (free T4 low) which is likely to have been present
chronically and not the primary source of hyponatremia, further
more not strikingly hypothyroid to cause hyponatremia. Most
likely diagnosis is therefore iatrogenic due to IV meds and
diuresis without adequate Na replacement.
Decision was made to give patinent a 1 week break from XRT,
as took heavy toll on patient, especially w/ ICU setting. Pt is
scheduled for follow up next week with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 3929**] to revisit
if continued XRT should be pursued. Meeting must be attended
with patient's brother.
.
# Goals of care: Social work and [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) 2270**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1764**] from palliative
care are involved in this case with the family, discussing
long-term plans and goals. Pt's baseline mental status is
unclear; however, he occasionally has more lucid intervals and
appears dissatisfied with being in hospital, stating "get me out
of here." At the same time, he expresses wishes to continue
radiation/chemo for disease palliation. He also appears to have
a depressed affect. Psych has been consulted to determine
competency and address depression.
.
# HTN: BP well-controlled on metoprolol 12.5 [**Hospital1 **]. At home, he is
on metoprolol 25 TID.
.
# Anemia: This is likely due to myelosuppression from prior
chemo as his retic count was 0 on admission. HCT currently
stable/increasing. He has not required PRBC transfusions at
[**Hospital1 18**].
.
# C-Diff colitis: Pt is on Flagyl po until 2 weeks after
completion of other antibiotics ([**6-26**]). He is on C-Diff
precautions.
.
# MS changes: He is oriented to name and date. This is likely
delirium. He is on low-dose Haldol prn agitation, avoiding BZDs
as possible. He is also on supplemental thiamine, Folate & MVI
for ETOH history. Needed to be maintained on restraints while
in ICU, has been 1:1 on the floors w/o further aggitation.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was brought to the operating room on [**2191-3-3**] and
underwent bilateral ileofemoral endarterectomies with patch
angioplasty and bilateral iliac stents. The procedure was
without complications. She was closely monitored in the PACU and
then transferred to the ICU for ongoing gas exchange issues
related to baseline emphysema and diastolic heart failure. She
was transferred to the floor for further monitoring on POD #2 in
stable condition. We continue to monitor her breathing pattern
and gas exchange diuresing her with lasix to maintain a negative
fluid balance to treat her acute on chronic diastolic CHF
exacerbation post surgery.
Her diet was gradually advanced. She worked with physical
therapy who recommended rehab. On POD # 7 she had an episode of
hypotensive causing ischemic colitis which was treated with
fluid/albumin. By POD #9 her abdominal pain resolved and she
started to tolerate on a regular diet. She was discharged to
rehab on POD # 13 in stable condition. Follow-up has been
arranged with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in one week.
1.Peripheral Arterial Disease
sp bilateral ileofemoral endarterectomies with patch
angioplasty and bilateral iliac stents on [**2191-3-3**] for disabling
claudication. Dopplerable LE pulses. Groin incisions are clean,
slightly red and should be covered with DSD until removal at
followup appointment next week.
2.Diastolic Congestive Heart Failure
She had acute exacerbation of her chronic congestive heart
failure after her procedure which we closely monitored and
treated with lasix as needed. She is on her home dose of lasix
40mg daily. Her PREOP WEIGHT is 77.1 kg. TODAY'S WEIGHT is
85.7 kg. We have been unable to diurese secondary to
hypotension and ischemic colitis.
3.Ischemic Colitis
On POD #7 she had an episode of hypotension to the 70's after
lasix administration. At that time, our goal was 1 liter
negative a day. Shortly after this episode, she had vomitting
with diarrhea with LUQ abdominal pain. Her lactate level was
3.1 and her wbc rose to 23.3 from 7.6 earlier in the day. She
was aggressively resusitate her with fluid and albumin. An Abd
CT did not show any overt mesenteric ischemia. Flexible
sigmoidoscopy, to evaluate mucosa, was negative for ischemia.
Cdiff was also negative. She was started on vanco/cipro/flagyl.
She had continued improvement with return of her WBC to normal
and resumption of a regular diet by POD #9.
4.Hypertension
BP now 120's/80. WE HAVE NOT RESTARTED HER HOME
ANTIHYPERTENSIVES/CARDIAC MEDS of amlodipine 5mg, diltiazem HCl
XR 360mg or moexipril 15mg secondary to relative hypotension
(90s systolic) in the setting of presumed bowel ischemia. Please
contine to monitor and restart medications as tolerated.
5.Chronic Kidney Disease
Admission Cr. 2.4. Today's Cr is 1.3, likely related to holding
diuresis and ACE.
6.Emphysema
02 sats are 94% on 2L which is her baseline at home.
7.Atrial Fibrillation

Brief Hospital Course:
MICU course:
This is an 89 yo woman with mechanical fall found to be
orthostatic and anemic.
1. Ischemic esophagitis: Patient was transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for
hematemesis that began while she was on the floor. She was seen
by GI right after arriving to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] and underwent EGD which
showed evidence of ischemic esophagitis (see EGD report).
Patient was put on IV PPI [**Hospital1 **] and sucrafate QID, HOB elevated.
She required a total of 5u pRBC, and her hematocrit stabilized
for 2 days prior to transfer back to the floor. She had no more
episode of hematemesis since arriving to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**], and was started
on clear liquids on [**10-21**]. Per GI, her diet was advanced to soft
on [**10-24**] and then to full on day of discharge. She tolerated this
without difficulty. She should not receive any NSAID
medications. HCT prior to d/c was 33.
2. Fall: Sounds mechanical in nature but given profound
orthostasis in ED (asymptomic) this may possibly be
contributing. Also, given her subsequent hematemesis and
baseline anemia, bleeding likely contributing. Physical therapy
was re-consulted following transfer out of the ICU. Blood
pressures were stable on the floor but she will need further PT
rehab.
3. Orthostasis: unclear what degree related to anemia/bleeding,
dehydration, medication effect (amitriptyline, trazadone both
can cause orthostasis) or autonomic dysfunction. Trazodone was
discontinued and Amitriptyline was decreased to 50mg.
4. Anemia: Likely secondary to chronic GI bleeding. Pt has
refused colonoscopy in the recent past; family remains hesitant
to pursue further testing at this time. Hct remained stable
following transfer out of the ICU and was >34 on [**10-24**]. It is
recommended this be repeated in [**2-4**] weeks time.
5. Peripheral vascular disease: Aspirin was stopped in the
setting of her hematemesis; she was continued on pentoxifylline.
6. A TSH was sent while in the ICU. It was elevated at 11. It
is recommended this be repeat tested in [**2-4**] weeks at her PCPs
office.
7. Hypokalemia. This was repleted several times and she was
discharged on daily KCL 10Meq.

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Hospital **] Rehab
Discharge Diagnosis:
Upper GI Bleed
Ischemic esophagitis
H/o NSAID gastritis
Elevated TSH
Discharge Condition:
Improved
Discharge Instructions:
You were hospitalized for bleeding in the esophagus. You were
found to have low blood pressure on admission to the hospital,
which undoubtedly caused you to have the fall at home, and which
led to changes in perfusion to the esophagus causing it to
bleed. You were given a total of 5 units of red blood cells to
replace the blood you lost. You were found to have an elevated
TSH which may indicate you have an underactive thyroid gland.
Tests of this sort during hospitalization can be inaccurate, and
so I recommend that you have this test repeated within the next
1 to 2 weeks. You should have your blood count and potassium
checked then, too. You should not take NSAID medications. Your
potassium level was running low in the hospital and so you were
begun on a daily replacement postassium tablet.
Followup Instructions:
Provider: [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 1575**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1576**], MD Phone:[**Telephone/Fax (1) 1579**]
Date/Time:[**2118-12-19**] 1:30
I recommend you call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] to have another appointment
made for 1 to 2 weeks from now to review the events of this
hospitalization and to follow-up on repeat blood tests. If you
are at rehab during this time, then CBC, potassium, and TSH,
Free T4 should be drawn at that facility and results should be
called into Dr.[**Name (NI) 96157**] office for review and further
instruction.

Brief Hospital Course:
60 year old female with scoliosis and stenosis presented for
circumfrential fusion.
On [**2183-6-13**] she underwent an Anterior fusion T11-L5 with chest
tube and Posterior on T11-L5 chest tube removed. The patient
received multiple units of Cell [**Doctor Last Name **] in addition to fresh
frozen plasma and platelets, as well as approximately 5 units of
packed red blood cells. She was transferred intubated and
sedated to the SICU after surgery. An epidural was placed for
pain control once the patient was extubated. On [**6-18**] the patient
produced 2 liters of urine in 2 hours. Sent serum lytes and
urine lytes. Vitals were stable, blood pressure acceptable. Most
likely cause was diuresis from OR fluid load and HCTZ was
resumed. The patients labs and vitals were monitored throughout
her hospitalization and remained stable. Physical therapy
evaluated the patient and she is stable for discharge today.

Admission Date: [**2130-9-14**] Discharge Date: [**2130-9-18**]
Date of Birth: Sex: F
Service:
The patient expired on [**2130-9-18**].
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 56 year old white
female who was transferred to the [**Hospital1 190**] from the [**Hospital3 8834**] earlier in
morning of admission when she was talking on the telephone
with her son and suddenly complained of a severe headache and
fell to the ground. She did experience loss of consciousness
and there were reported seizures lasting approximately five
minutes during that time with reported decorticate posturing.
EMS was called and arrived at the scene and transported the
patient returned to consciousness and was following commands
with no apparent neurologic deficit. A CT scan showed
subarachnoid hemorrhage with diffuse bleeding in all
cisterns.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypertension.
2. Diabetes mellitus.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Zestril.
2. Glyburide.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On physical examination, she was awake
and oriented times three but somnolent with blood pressure
150/80, respiratory rate 12, heart rate 110 beats per minute
and she was afebrile. The pupils are equal, round, and
reactive to light and accommodation. Extraocular movements
were full. The tongue was midline. There was no facial
asymmetry. Shoulder shrug was positive. Extremity strength
was [**5-27**] in all muscle groups bilateral left and right.
Sensory was intact to light touch grossly and reflexes were
symmetric bilaterally.
HOSPITAL COURSE: Due to the clinical findings, the patient
was admitted with the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage
and was considered neurologically stable at that time. A
lengthy discussion between family and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1132**] ensued at
which time the family agreed to go forward with diagnostic
angiography and further treatment and the patient therefore had
diagnostic angiogram and was subsequently taken to the
operating room later on [**2130-9-14**], where under a general
endotracheal anesthetic, a right craniotomy and clipping of
an anterior communicating artery aneurysm was performed by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1132**]. A ventricular drain was placed at the beginning of
the procedure, and the patient was returned to the Neurosurgical
Intensive Care Unit for postoperative recovery.
The patient was initially noted to be doing well, awakened
from the surgery, was opening eyes to voice and following
commands on the first postoperative day. By the second
postoperative day, the patient was awake, alert and oriented
to person and time and following two step commands with grip
and strength 5/5 bilaterally. The patient's neurologic
condition remained stable until early on [**2130-9-18**], the
patient was noted to have become somnolent and less
responsive.
Again, after discussion with the family, decision was made to
take the patient back for angiographic study and possible
treatment if vasospasm was seen. The patient was taken to
the angiogram suite on the afternoon of [**2130-9-18**], where a
diagnostic angiogram was performed and vasospasm was noted
and Papaverine was administered. However, there was a small
amount of extravasation of the angiographic dye noted during
the procedure and shortly thereafter the patient's systolic
blood pressure rose markedly as well as intracranial
pressures rising to 160 millimeter of water. The procedure
was immediately halted and the patient was taken to the
Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit after replacement of the
ventricular drain was done and successfully placed.
Upon lengthy discussion with the family including the husband
and son, the family expressed a wish that no further heroic
or supportive measures be considered other than comfort
measures and due to the family wishes and in concert with the
clinical condition, the decision was made to place the
patient on comfort measures only status at approximately 9:00
p.m. on [**2130-9-18**], and the patient subsequently was found to
have fixed and dilated pupils with no heart or respiratory
activity and the patient was pronounced dead at 10:40 p.m. on
[**2130-9-18**].
The immediate cause of death was respiratory failure
secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage. The family was
informed of the expiration of the patient. They declined
autopsy and expressed their gratitude for the care which the
patient had received.

History of Present Illness:
54 year old Male with a PMH of HTN and etoh abuse who presented
to [**Hospital3 **] on [**6-13**] in etoh withdrawal, reporting
tachycardia, cough, and chest pain. He drinks 1 quart of vodka
several days a week and last drink was around [**6-12**] or [**6-13**]. He
ruled out with 2 sets of negative cardiac enzymes and a
non-ischemic ekg, and was evaluated by cardiology. CXR neg for
acute process. His chest pain was felt likely due to bronchitis.
During the hospitalization he continued to exhibit withdrawal
symptoms so was started on CIWA. He required 20mg IV lorazepam
during the initial 6 hours of withdrawal and had respiratory
distress, cyanosis, and stridor. During intubation he was noted
to have a vocal cord polypoid mass and is thus being transferred
to [**Hospital1 18**] for further evaluation. Over the past 24 hours he has
required 12mg IV lorazepam. He is also on levofloxacin for
unclear reason. VS prior to transfer were 100.7, 87, 120/72, 31,

ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global
systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). The right ventricular
cavity is mildly dilated with normal free wall contractility.
The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no
aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal.
There is no pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space
which most likely represents a prominent fat pad.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of intracardiac or cardiopulmonary
shunt. Normal left ventricular cavity size and wall thickness
with preserved global and regional left ventricular systolic
function. Mildly dilated right ventricle. Mildly dilated aortic
root and ascending aorta. Normal pulmonary artery systolic
pressure.

Brief Hospital Course:
54M with a h/o etoh abuse who presented to an OSH on [**6-13**] for
chest pain, felt likely secondary to bronchitis. Hospital course
complicated by etoh withdrawal. Patient reportedly developed
stridor. ENT evaluated patient with CT scan and felt he may have
had a mass around the cords. He was sent to [**Hospital1 **] for further
evaluation.
ACTIVE ISSUES:
# Respiratory failure/Hypoxemia/Laryngeal Edema:
Patient was intubated at OSH for respiratory distress. On
tubated there was a polypoid lesion on his vocal cords and he
was sent to [**Hospital1 18**] for evaluation. Here, ENT performed direct
laryngoscopy which revealed edematous cords. He was given a
short course of steroids. Extubation was attempted however
resulted in recurrent respiratory distress requiring
reintubation. ENT felt that he has [**Last Name (un) 50614**] edema which will
resolve in a few weeks. He underwent tracheostomy placement.
***PATIENT WILL REQUIRE DOWN-SIZING OF TRACH DURING WEEK OF [**7-8**]
PER IP RECOMMENDATIONS.*** He was also need follow up with Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **] in ENT.
# Ventilator Associated Pneumonia:
Patient was treated with 7 days of antibiotics while in patient.
He remained afebrile.
# Pulmonary Embolism:
While intubated, patient was difficult to ventilate. A CT was
performed which revealed multiple PEs. He was started on
lovenox. After all procedures are completed, he should
transition to Coumadin for at least a 6 month course unless the
mass is found to be a solid tumor, in which case there is some
evidence to use LMWH for solid tumors over coumadin.
# Alcohol Dependence, withdrawal:
Given thiamine, folic acid, multivitamin.
Ciwa scale was maintained while in the ICU
# Clostridium difficile Colitis:
dx made on [**2120-6-28**]. Was started for 10 day course of PO Flagyl
and will be completed on [**2120-7-8**].
# Anxiety:
Patient started on clonazepam for anxiety. Will likely need to
wean this prior to discharge from facility.
Transitions of care:
- will need outpatient speech and swallow appointment to discuss
advancing his diet once ENT has cleared him.
- will need trach changed out during week of [**7-8**]

Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure participating in your care at [**Hospital1 18**]. You were
admitted to the hospital for alcoholic detoxification and
respiratory distress due to airway compromise from swollen vocal
cords. It is not exactly clear why there was swelling around
your vocal cords but a tracheostomy was needed to protect your
airway and you will need to see the ENT doctor when you leave
the hospital to assess further plans to manage these issues.
After you see the ENT doctor, you should following up with a
speech/swallow therapist to discuss advancing your diet.
While in the hospital, you developed a clot in your lungs which
you will need to been on blood thinning medications for. You
also have an infection of your colon for which you will need to
take a course of antibiotics. Please be sure to complete this
course of antibiotics.
Otherwise, it is very important that you take all of your usual
home medications as directed in your discharge paperwork.

Brief Hospital Course:
He received medical management while undergoing extensive
pre-operative work-up, including lab work, carotid ultrasound,
vein mapping and a vascular surgical consult. On [**7-31**] he was
brought to Operating Room by vascular surgery for serial
arteriogram of the left lower extremity and balloon angioplasty
of the proximal peroneal artery. Please see operative note for
details. Following the case he was transferred back to floor for
further medical care.
On [**8-6**] he was brought to the Operating Room where he underwent
coronary artery bypass graft x 3 was undertaken. Please see
operative report for surgical details. He tolerated the
procedure well and was extubated easily. The wound vac remained
on the left toe amputation site. He was begun on beta blockers
and then Cardizem was initiated after Amiodarone failed to
control his atrial fibrillation. He converted to sinus rhythm
and Coumadin was resumed for the paroxysmal fibrillation and his
peripheral vascular disease.
He was below his properative weight at discharge but there
remained a moderate asmount of right stump edema which precluded
the prosthesis from fitting. A stump shrinker was therfor
utilized. The toe amputaion site was clean with a wound vac in
place. he will be followed by his vascular surgeon Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) **]
after discharge.
He was stable and ready for discharge to rehabilitaion on POD 5.

Chief Complaint:
increased work of breathing
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 59y/o WW w/ a PMH significant for DM1 (c/b CRF,
neuropathy, and retinopathy), morbid obesity, and HTN who was
recently hospitalized for an episode of ARF [**1-14**] ATN. This
occurred in the setting of a osteomyelitis [**1-14**] an ankle fx. She
was sent back to her Rehab center following this admission and
there she developed dyspnea and anuria. Her Cr rose to 4.8 and
she had a leukocytosis at 16. She was admitted and noted to have
troponins in the 3 and was seen to have a NSTEMI but was not
anticoagulated [**1-14**] the feeling that her presentation represented
a subacute event. She required a NRB during her early admission
that was quickly weaned but, considering her fluid overload,
renal was consulted and decided to proceed to HD. During this
time, she also was noted to have a UTI that was initially
treated w/ levo/flagyl (b/c of a presumed aspiration PNA at this
time as well) but this was later changed to linezolid when it
grew VRE. On the floor, she had an episode of unresponsiveness
for which a code blue was called. She was initially pulseless
but returned to NSR w/ CPR. She was intubated during this code
during which she was also noted to have a 12b run of VT.
.
During MICU stay, pt's vent settings were weaned quickly. She
received very little sedation and was comfortable on the vent.
She was maintained on the vent for the first two days in the
MICU for her tunneled HD catheter placement and for initiation
of HD. Her line was placed on MICU day #2 in IR without
complications. HD was done the same day through the line and 1kg
was removed. Pt tolerated HD well. ON MICU day #2, she was
changed to PS 5/5 and a RSBI on MICU day #3 was 28. She was
extubated on MICU day #3 and maintained her O2 sats in high 90s.
An insulin gtt was briefly started for high blood sugars but
this was titrated off. A c. diff infection was treated w/
flagyl.
.
On ROS today, the patient complains of "labored breathing" but
denies any CP, abdominal pain, N/V, HA, weakness, paresthesias,
visual changes, or palpatations.

seen in
inflammatory myopathy, critical illness myopathy or toxic
myopathy). In
addition, there is evidence for a severe, chronic, sensorimotor,

MRI:
1. There is moderate cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.
2. There are areas of abnormal signal intensity in the brain
parenchyma, the distribution of which suggests ischemic lesions
including old lacunes in the thalami, probable small, old
brainstem infarcts, and a probable old infarct in the right
internal capsule. Given the patient's age, demyelinating disease
is a consideration but the [**Doctor Last Name 352**] matter lesions are unusual.
3. There is good flow in the distal internal carotid arteries,
the distal vertebral arteries and the basilar artery. The major
branches of the cerebral arteries are normal.There is no
evidence of a significant stenosis.
Brief Hospital Course:
59F multiple ICU admissions for problem[**Name (NI) 115**] respiratory function
including repiratory arrest requiring intubation who was most
recently transferred back to the MICU on [**1-3**] with increased
secretions and decreased functional respiratory reserve,
concerning for neurologic induced weakness. She had been
transferred out of the MICU 2 days prior ([**1-1**]) and while on
the floor was noted to have marked increased purulent sputum on
suctioning as well as increased residuals in her NG tube
concerning for obstruction. Furthermore, while on the floor she
was continuing work-up for her subacute weakness which included
an MRI showing no cervical cord compression. Her other medical
problems include DM type 1 (c/b CRF, neuropathy, and
retinopathy), osteomyelitis s/p fracture, morbid obesity, HTN,
CRF. She was originally admitted for this admission from rehab
w/ volume overloaded and in renal failure. This early part of
the hospitalization was also c/b NSTEMI which was medically
managed, as well as a UTI (VRE), which was treated.
.
During her first MICU stay ([**12-21**]), pt's vent settings were
weaned. She had a tunnelled HD line placed and dialysis was
initiated. Also the patient was found to have Cdiff and started
on flagyl. She was transferred to the floor on [**2111-12-23**].
.
On the floor the patient had persistent hypoxia at times
requiring a non rebreather. This was thought to potentially be
due to vol overload vs muscular weakness. The patient has
seemed to improve with HD. Of note on [**2111-12-28**] the patient was
having abdominal pain with tube feeds and had 1 episode of
coffee ground emesis in NGT suction. This cleared quickly and
did not recur. Hct has remained stable. Other ongoing problems
include ulcers on both feet, followed by Wound Care. A sacral
decubitus ulcer developed and was treated by Wound Care.
.
Pt had an episode of hypotension to the 80's, hypoxia to the
70's, and unresponsiveness on [**12-30**] prompting code blue &
transfer back to MICU. Anesthesia required an oral airway and
bag mask ventilation transiently but the patient quickly
regained consciousness spontaneously. Her BP normalized 120's
and she was satting in the high 90's on NRB mask. EKG was
unchanged and ABG during the episode was 7.44/36/223. In MICU
she was started on Zosyn for pneumonia, was transferred to the
floor on [**1-1**] after stabilization.
.
Weakness: Pt has had subacute (over wks) progression of profound
muscular weakness and CKs were as high as 9000s (w/low CK-MB).
CKs resolved spontaneously. An LP was done and was normal with
negative culture. Methylmalonic acid from the CSF was normal and
IgG was nondiagnostic. Her NIFs were followed and approximately
-40. An EMG was done and c/w critical illness myopathy and DM
neuropathy. An MRI was done which showed nothing specific. Pt
never on steroids during this admission. DiffDx also includes
rheumatologic cause such as polymyositis. Muscle Bx ([**1-8**]) c/w
ICU myopathy as well as more chronic changes, but special stains
are still pending. Neuro plans for outpt follow up. During
course, a GJ tube was placed and tube feeds begun because of
concern for pt's ability to swallow [**1-14**] weakness (NOTE:
fasteners will need to be removed [**2112-1-24**] similar to sutures per
Radiology who placed GJ tube). At time of discharge, patient
lifting L arm > R, minimal movement of legs (none against
gravity).
.
Hypotension: She had several episodes of hypotension in the ICU
which initially resolved with fluids. No evidence of sepsis.
On [**1-10**], pt's BP was persistently in the 90s/30s with MAPs in
the 50s that didn't respond to 500cc bolus so she was started on
low-dose Levophed. Renal evaluated the patient, and felt that
the hypotension seemed to occur post-dialysis, and recommended a
trial of mitodrine. She was started on this medication and was
titrated Levophed to off [**1-13**]; BP was stable afterwards. Prior
to discharge, patient restarted on beta blocker tx, particularly
in light of recent NSTEMI, once BP was stable. BB should be held
on AM of dialysis.
.
Diabetes: Patient with poorly controlled DM. Was transiently on
insulin drip during 1st MICU stay and then transitioned to
Lantus 50U [**Hospital1 **]. On [**1-9**], pt noted to have a blood sugar of 11
so Lantus discontinued and [**Last Name (un) **] consulted. Now stable and
titrating up Lantus doses, with SS insulin as needed. Glucoses
ranging in high 100s-low 200s of late (110-261).
.
C. diff colitis: Treated with flagyl, repeat toxin testing
negative.
.
Respiratory compromise: likely due to increased secretions from
tracheobronchitis. Pt was requiring sunctioning every [**12-14**]
hours. She was continued on Zosyn x 10 days, last dose 1/28.
Glycoperolate nebs were started to help with secretions but
stopped as they may have been thickening the secretions.
Weakness may have a component of her respiratory compromise.
Continues to be stable on NC with clear lung exam & CXR. A CTA
was performed which was negative for PE; did reveal some mild
hilar lymphadenopathy.
.
CAD: h/o severe CAD, and ?NSTEMI (peak CK 9000s but peak MB only
173 so may be more noncardiac skeletal muscle) in early [**Month (only) 404**].
Cardiology followed peripherally and would consider cardiac cath
in future. Started on ASA, now added beta blocker. Intolerant of
ACE-I and [**Last Name (un) **] by hx.
.
Acute on Chronic Renal Failure: Patient now with ESRD on HD
likely from diabetes. Cont renagel, phoslo. Renal following. Pt
will require dialysis while in Rehab.
.
FEN: On Tube Feeds via G-J tube. NOTE: fasteners will need to be
removed [**2112-1-24**] similar to sutures per Radiology who placed GJ
tube.

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 74 y.o. Male with h.o. hypothyroidism p/w septic
shock, NSTEMI, hypothermia with suspected pulmonary versus urine
source.
##. Septic Shock: Pt noted to be in septic shock on admission to
the ED on multiple pressors. Per family pt has a history of PNA
versus aspiration PNA, hospitalized three times over the past
year and also had dirty UA and ?pna on cxr from ed. Pt was
initially started on zosyn, cipro and vancomycin for broad
coverage in this frequently hospitalized pt in addition to
pressors and xygris given pt's high apache score. Stress dose
steroids were also started as pt was on dexamethasone as outpt
per his med list. Influenza antigen and legionella antigen were
sent and were negative. Pressors able to be weaned and
antibiotics switched to linezolid for VRE in urine and meropenem
for acinetobacter in sputum. Antibiotic course was completed on
[**9-26**].
##. Respiratory Failure: Pt arrived intubated in ventilatory
failure believed to be [**1-20**] pna versus ards from urosepsis. This
was complicated by fluid overload in the setting of volume
repletion. Pt's infections were treated and pt was diuresed
aggressively with resolution of pulmonary edema at time of
discharge. Tracheostomy tube placed on [**9-26**]. Secretions
continued to be a problem so t-tube kept in place.
# [**Last Name (un) **]: baseline Cr of 1.8-2, which slowly rose to 4.6. Etiology
was believed to be ATN secondary to hypotension in setting of
septic shock. Renal functions improved with creatinines trending
towards baseline (baseline is 1.8-2.0, at time of discharge was
2.3). Home lasix, glyburide, flomax, lubripristone,
fenofexadine, verapamil held.
##. NSTEMI: Pt showed no ischemic EKG changes in the ED but
cardiac enzymes were noted to be positive with a CK of 1836,
CKMB 230, CKMBI 12.5, troponin 0.06. TWI in I, avL, q in Lead
III, small R-wave and aVF inferiorly. Pt ruled in, likely
ischemic from his prolonged episode of hypotension. Aspirin was
initially held as pt had been started on xygris, but asa was
restarted once xygris course completed.
In future could consider adding ace inhibitor as renal function
resolves. Did not start beta blocker given episodes of
bradycardia.
##. Bradycardia: Pt noted to be bradycardic, requiring atropine
in the field for HR in the 40s. Bradycardia initially thought to
likely be due to his hypothermia. However, had additional
episodes of sinus bradycardia periodically, particularly in the
evening. Improved during hospital course, with patient
maintaining normal sinus rhythm with regular rate at time of
discharge.
# Anemia: pt??????s hematocrit trended down throughout first few days
of admission. Likely [**1-20**] aggressive fluid hydration. Pt does
also have h/o peptic ulcers, and was on xygris which increases
risk of GIB, however, stool and NG aspirate both guiac negative,
there was no evidence for RP bleed or intracranial bleed. Pt was
maintained on PPI and active type and screen maintained. Pt was
transfused one unit on [**9-14**] and his hematocrit did bump
appropriately. Anemia thought to be secondary to renal failure.
Was not actively bleeding and HCT was stable at time of
discharge.
#. Hypothyroidism: continued on home levothyroxine
.
#Schizophrenia: Intially held clozaril and perphenazine while
intubated and sedated. Pt was then started on linezolid so
clozaril and perphenazine were held for concern for seratonin
syndrome. Linezolid course was completed on [**9-26**]. Clozaril
should be held another 2 weeks, at least, and could be restarted
on [**10-10**] as long as patient is not sedated. Can be continued on
perphenazine per home dose.
.
#COPD: continue atrovent and albuterol prn, usually on nebs but
switched to inh while intubated.
.
#? adrenal insufficiency: on dexamethasone 2mg at home,
hydrocortisone was initially started at stress doses and then
weaned down and eventually transitioned back to dexamethasone.
Pt can follow up c his PCP regarding whether he will need to
continue dexamethasone (this diagnosis is very recent and did
not seem definite based on OSH records).
.
# DM: Pt with known DM type 2. Initially placed on insulin drip
as it was felt that his skin was likely too edematous to get
good absorption of sc insulin (target range for gtt was
150-200). After diuresis pt was placed on sc insulin.
# SW: SW consulted for regarding safety of pt's living
situation. They felt that placement at home would not be a good
idea and should go to rehab and be further evaluated for
placement at time of discharge from rehab.
# Prophylaxis: Subcutaneous heparin , bowel reg

Discharge Disposition:
Extended Care
Facility:
[**Hospital6 1293**] - [**Location (un) 1294**]
Discharge Diagnosis:
1) Uro/pneumo sepsis
2) Ventilator acquired pneumonia
3) S/p tracheostomy and PEG tube placement
Discharge Condition:
Stable for discharge to rehab. Good saturation on 60% FiO2 via
T-tube.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the ICU because you had a severe infection
in your urine and in your lungs that caused your blood pressure
to fall. While in the ICU, we treated you for this by giving
you fluids and giving you antibiotics (linezolid and meropenem)
for these infections, of which you completed the course.
Because you had trouble breathing, we started you on a breathing
machine. Over the course of several days, your infection began
to clear, your fevers improved, and your blood pressure returned
to normal. You were also getting better at breathing so we took
you off the ventilator and put in a tracheostomy, which allows
us to give you oxygen safely. When you go to rehab, they will
assess you daily to see when your tracheostomy can be safely
removed or whether your PEG tube can come out once you can
safely take food by mouth.
.
The following medication changes were made:
(1) Because of renal failure, we stopped your lasix. As your
renal failure begins to clear, this can be restarted.
(2) We stopped your glyburide because of your renal failure.
(3) We stopped your home dose of flomax because of your renal
failure.
(4) We stopped your verapamil b/c of your renal failure.
(5) we Stopped your clozaril, because in combination with the
linezolid, this can cause your white blood cell count to drop.
You can restart clozaril on [**10-10**].
(6) You should continue to take perphenazine 4 mg [**Hospital1 **] as at
home; this can also be given PRN for agitation.
(7) You should start lansoprazole which protects your stomach
from getting irritated.
Followup Instructions:
1) Monday, [**2121-10-27**] you should follow up with
Pulmonary with Dr [**Last Name (STitle) 2168**]. His office is located on the [**Location (un) **] in the [**Hospital Ward Name 23**] building.
(2) Please follow up with renal on Tues [**2123-11-11**] AM with Dr
[**Last Name (STitle) **]. This is located in the [**Hospital Ward Name 23**] building on the [**Location (un) **].
(2) You should follow up with your primary care physician and
your outpatient psychiatrist within 1 month of discharge. You
will need to have these appointments scheduled.

Brief Hospital Course:
Transferred in for surgical evaluation on [**1-6**] and was stable
overnight until the next day when he started to have chest pain.
Intravenous nitro and heparin were instituted, but they had to
be titrated up for recurrent chest pain. It was felt that the he
should proceed with coronary revascularization on [**1-8**] due to
recalcitrant chest pain on maximal medical therapy. He was
brought to the operating room on [**1-8**] where the patient
underwent urgent coronary artery bypass grafting. See operative
report for further details. Overall the he tolerated the
procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the CVICU
in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. In
the first twenty four hours he was weaned from sedation, awoke
neurologically intact and was extubated without complications.
On post operative day one he was started on betablockers for
heart rate and lasix for diuresis, both were adjusted over the
next few days. His pain medication was adjusted for improved
pain control with good response. He was transferred to the
telemetry floor for further recovery. Chest tubes and pacing
wires were discontinued without complication. The he was
evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance with
strength and mobility. He continued to require intravenous
diuresis for volume overload and remained until post operative
day five when he was ambulating on room air with oxygen
saturations 92-96 %, He was discharged home with services in
good condition with appropriate follow up instructions and to
continue on oral lasix, plan for follow up wound check thrusday
[**1-19**].

CXR [**9-9**]: Bibasilar opacities concerning for consolidation with
likely underlying right greater than left bilateral pleural
effusions.
LHC/RHC [**9-13**]:
1. Selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system
revealed
diffuse 2 vessel obstructive coronary artery disease. THe LMCA
had a 50%
ostial stenosis. The LAD had diffuse calcified disease with a
mid
subtotal occlusion. The LCX had no significant stenoses. The RCA
was
occluded in the mid portion, with the distal vessel filling via
collaterals from the LAD.
2. Resting hemodynamics demonstrated elevated right sided
filling
pressures with a RVEDP of 24 mm Hg. Pulmonary artery pressures
were
elvated at 65/35 mm Hg. The wedge pressure was markedly elevated
at a
mean of 43 mm Hg. Calculated ardiac output and index were low at
3.8
L/min and 2 L/min/m2, respectively, using an assumed oxygen
consumption
of 125 ml O2/min/m2. The SVR was increased at 1432 dyne s/cm5.
3. Unsuccessful attempt to cross the mid LAD occlusion with a
1.5 x 9
balloon.
.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. 2 vessel obstructive coronary artery disease.
2. Markedly elevated right sided and wedge pressures, consistent
with
severe heart failure.
3. Unsuccessful PCI attempt of the mid-LAD.
.
TTE [**9-12**]:
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. Left
ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. There
is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis with relative
preservation of the basal inferolateral and lateral walls (LVEF
= 20-25 %). No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle.
Right ventricular chamber size is normal with moderate global
free wall hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
structurally normal. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild to
moderate ([**11-19**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+]
tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
.
IMPRESSION: Severe biventricular systolic dysfunction c/w
multivessel CAD or other diffuse process. Mild-moderate mitral
regurgitation. Mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. No
pericardial effusion.
.
CAROTID DOPPLER [**9-16**]:
Impression: Right ICA stenosis <40%.
Left ICA stenosis <40%.
.
BLE ULTRASOUND [**9-10**]:
IMPRESSION: No DVT in either lower extremities.
.
CXR [**9-14**]: IMPRESSION: Overall unchanged appearance of bilateral
pleural effusions and pulmonary vascular congestion.
Brief Hospital Course:
# Cardiomyopathy: ?Tachycardia/AT mediated vs. ETOH related with
CHF exacerbation: Upon arrival to the floor, the patient was
consistently dyspneic with as little exertion as ambulating from
her bed to the bathroom. She was mildly tachypneic, but oxygen
saturation was stable, and there was low index of suspicion for
pulmonary embolism. Furthermore, she had already been
empirically placed on heparin for concern over her elevated
cardiac biomarkers. With more aggressive diuresis, the
patient's shortness of breath and peripheral edema improved
dramatically. She underwent left and right heart
catheterization. Heart cath showed diffuse 3VD with no
intervenable targets. Mid LAD near total occlusion was too
tight to thread balloon through. She was seen by CT-surgery (Dr.
[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 914**]) who felt that she had poor targets for surgical
revascularization, and should be treated medically. Patient
was admitted to CCU for further diuresis. She responded well to
IV lasix boluses and did not require pressor support for
adequate diuresis. Oxygen requirements were quickly weaned down
to zero and the patient was transferred to the floor. She
continued to diuresis well, ultimately requiring lasix IV +
metolazone PO to continue diuresis. On discharge the patient
had mild rales in the lung bases bilaterally. She was
transitioned to PO lasix, BB, ACEI.
She was noted to have frequent episodes of rapid atrial
tachycardia, sometimes lasting hours, while on the floor. She
will be seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] as an outpatient to determine whether
she would benefit from AT ablation (if potentially causing
tachy-mediated myopathy)
.
Patient may eventually require ICD placement given EF 20-25%.
Unclear if her cardiomyopathy is [**12-20**] ischemia (unlikely given no
prior infarcts) vs. tachy-mediated as above, or ETOH (prior
history of substantial ETOH abuse many years ago), in which case
under SCD-HEFT criteria the patient should have NYHA II/III
symptoms in order to merit ICD placement. Repeat echo in 3 mos.
and follow up as outpatient to reassess sx to see if ICD
placement is warranted.
.
# CAD: The patient's cardiac enzymes featured elevated troponins
and normal CK/MB's. Her EKG did not have any new ischemic
changes, but had signs consistent with prior MI. Given the
patient's female gender, diabetes, and evidence of prior MI with
no history of chest pain, there was concern that the patient
could have potentially suffered an NSTEMI. For this reason and
given the patient's high TIMI score, she was started on a
heparin gtt. TTE demonstrated global hypokinesis and a left
ventricular ejection fraction of 20-30%. LHC/RHC revealed no
evidence of acute MI but did show severe diffuse 3VD. No
intervention was possible. CT Surgery was consulted but felt
that as the patient had no appropriate sites for touchdown, CABG
was not warranted. Patient will be continued on maximal medical
therapy.
- statin, ASA, BB, ACEI
.
# Dysphagia: The patient complained of having food stuck high in
her throat. This only applied to solid foods, as liquids were
able to go down fine. The patient was ordered to undergo barium
swallowing study after her cardiopulmonary status improved. The
barium study revealed passive swallowing with no mechanical
obstruction and normal motility.
.
# [**Last Name (un) **]: The patient's admission labs featured a BUN/creatinine of
24/1.4. Her baseline as of [**2146-4-18**] was 12/0.9. The [**Last Name (un) **] was
believed to be secondary to decreased effective circulating
volume and diuresis. With further diuresis, the patient's renal
function stabilized.
.
# Hyponatremia: The patient had hypervolemic hyponatremia on
arrival, with initial serum sodium of 129. Low Na poor
prognostic sign in CHF. Sodium somewhat improved during course
of admission. D/c Na was 130.
.
# Hypertension: Upon admission, the patient's blood pressure was
stable in the high 90s-low 100's overnight. Diuresis was
initiated in the ED, but the patient received a small fluid
bolus for tachycardia. Her ACE inhibitor and beta blocker were
initially held, both for preventing worsening [**Last Name (un) **] and to allow
the blood pressure to stay high enough to provide adequate
diuresis. Ultimately BB + ACEI were started to control BP
before discharge.
.
# Diabetes mellitus: The patient's oral hypoglycemics were
initially held, and she was started on a humalog sliding scale.
Fingerstick blood sugars were high from 180-250, and patient was
started on a basal dose of insulin glargine 10 units qhs. HbA1c
7.9% during hospitalization. This will be controlled by the
[**Name6 (MD) 228**] primary MD, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 16258**].

Chief Complaint:
Chest pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Cardiac catherization with stenting to right coronary artery
History of Present Illness:
This is a 63 year-old male with history of type 2 diabetes
mellitus and ESRD on hemodialysis who was admitted to the CCU
after an NSTEMI. He had intially presented to [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital
emergency department with 4 to 6 hours of crushing chest pain
and shortness of breath that occurred while he was watching
television. He rated the pain [**9-16**] and reports that it did not
radiate. The pain was accompanied by diaphoresis, nausea,
vomiting, and severe shortness of breath. He called EMS for
further assistance. He received 3 sublinqual nitroglycerin and
IV lasix with relief of the pain. On arrival to [**Last Name (LF) 1474**], [**First Name3 (LF) **]
EKG showed ST depressions in the anterolateral leads with
inverted T waves. A chest x-ray was notable for pulmonary
edema. He had elevated cardiac enzymes. He received plavix and
heparin and was transfered to the [**Hospital1 18**]. He underwent cardiac
catherization that reveal 3 vessel disease. A stent was placed
in the right coronary. He was transfered to the CCU. with the

.
Cardiac Catherization: Right dominant circulation. The LMCA was
short and heavily calcified with a distal taper. The LAD had a
proximal eccentric 80% lesion and the distal vessel had a
tubular 70% lesion. Numerous diagonal arteries were without
critical lesions. The left circumflex was a non-dominant vessel
with heavy calcifications. Only a ramus was seen and it was
occluded proximally. The RCA was a dominant vessel with a
proximal 99% lesion. The abdominal aorta was found to have
moderate diffuse disease with iliac aneurysmal dilation and poor
distal flow to the CFA. The RCA was stented with a 3.0 x 18
Cypher. The final residual was 0% with normal flow.
.
Echocardiogram: EF of 40-45% with moderate global left
ventricular hypokinesis.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 63 year-old male admitted with NSTEMI.
.
1) NSTEMI: He was admitted with an NSTEMI. Cardiac
catherization revealed three vessel disease. He had a stent
placed in his right coronary. A post-catherization
echocardiogram showed mildly dilated left atrium, mild global
hypokinesis, and an ejection fraction of 40-45%. The initial
plan was to undergo CABG to address is left circumflex and left
anterior descending disease. During the pre-operative work-up,
he was found to have totally occluded bilateral internal carotid
arteries. Therefore, he was deemed to not be a surgical
candidate. He was medically managed with aspirin, high dose
statin, beta-blocker, ACE-inhibitor, and Plavix. His cardiac
enzymes trended down and he had no further chest pain. He was
discharged with cardiology follow-up.
.
2) End stage renal disease: He was maintained on his regular
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday dialysis. He received epoetin with
dialysis and was maintained on Nephrocaps and phosphate binders.
His dialysis flow sheets during this admission were faxed to
his outpatient dialysis center. He was discharged to continue
his regular dialysis.
.
3) Status post CVA: The details of his CVA are unknown. He was
supposedly on dilantin, but his level was subtherapeutic. He
was maintained on his outpatient dilantin while in house. He
was maintained on aspirin and Plavix for secondary prophylaxis.
.
4) COPD: He had no active issues. He was maintained on
albuterol and Atrovent inhalers.
.
5) Elevated LFT's: His elevated LFTs were thought to be
secondary to alcohol intake or Statin use. A right upper
quadrant ultrasound was normal, and his LFTs remained stable
throughout the admission. He will need his LFTs followed as an
outpatient.
.
6) Diabetes: He was not taking any medications at home for his
diabetes. His A1c on admission was 6.1. His sugars remained
under good control with minimal coverage with an insulin sliding
scale. His blood sugars and A1c should be monitored as an
outpatient.
.
7) FEN: He was maintained on a renal, cardiac, and diabetic
diet. He was maintained on phosphate binders.
.
8) Code: Full.
.
9) Dispo: On the day after his catherization, he wanted to leave
AMA. At the time, he was delirious and could demonstrate that
he understood the gravity of his medical condition. Psychiatry
evaluated him and felt that he did not have the capacity to
leave AMA. He subsequently cleared his delirium. His son was
involved and wanted to take the patient home with him. The
patient was discharged in the care of his son who would help
monitor his medications and follow-up appointments. Psychiatry
also recommended behavioral neurology follow-up as well and
neuropsychiatry testing.

ago at which time she required intubation) who presented to her
PCP with [**Name Initial (PRE) **] few day history of progressively worsening cough, HA
and shortness of breath. The patient was in her normal state of
health until the evening prior to presentation when she
developed viral like symptoms with rhinorrhea, cough productive
of thin yellow sputum and frontal HA. Symptoms became acutely
worse the day of presentation despite went to her PCP where she
was noted to be tachypneic with bilateral wheezes. Of note the
patient ran out of her home albuterol and a few days ago and
flovent approximately 1 month ago. She was given nebulizer
treatments x 2 with no improvement prompting her PCP to send her
into the emergency department.
.
In terms of her asthma the patient was diagnosed 7 years ago
when she had an acute exacerbation requiring intubation. Since
that time she has been hospitalized a several occasions most
recently a few months ago. She is on albuterol PRN at home which
she has been requiring more frequently (though as above she ran
out of this medication recently). She was previously on flovent
but stopped this medication approximately 1 month ago due to
insurance issues.
.
In the ED, initial VS were: 97.7 102 174/102 22 99% RA. Initial
peak flow 350. She was given nebulizers x 3 the started on
scheduled nebs q 1 hr nebulizer treatments in addition to
prednisone 60 and IV magnesium. Oxygen saturations remained
stable in the high 90s. Patient continued to have significant
wheezing requiring hourly nebs. Peak flow trended downward to
250 and she was admitted to the MICU for further treatment.
.
On arrival to the MICU, patient's VS were 98.4 104 112/99 99%
RA. She noted continued wheezing but and chest pain with cough
but denied recent fever, chills, abdominal pain, dysuria, visual
changes, or dizziness.

Brief Hospital Course:
46 yo female with a hx of asthma requiring intubation in the
past who presents with wheezing and shortness of breath c/w an
asthma exacerbation in the setting of a probable viral
infection, medication non complaince course c/b pneumonia and
headaches found to have a chiari malformation and cervical
syrinx
# Acute exacerbation of asthma
Presentation was felt to be most consistent with an exacerbation
of the patients known asthma secondary to environmental factors,
URI and medication non compliance. Initially, there was no e/o
PNA on CXR (see below). CP mildly concerning for ACS though
normal EKG and TnI is reassuring. Pt does not have risk factors
for PE. As above she initially required q 1 hr albuterol
treatment in the ED. She was started on oral prednisone and
given a one time dose of IV magnesium. She was admitted to the
ICU given need for frequent treatments and history of requiring
intubation. Respiratory status improved and nebulizer treatments
were spaced to albuterol every 4 hours and ipratropium every 6
hours. She was additionally restarted on her home Flovent. She
was transferred to the floor where her symptoms persisted.
Pulmonary was consulted and they advised to add Singulair and
briefly placed her on IV steroids. Her symptoms slowly improved
and her peak flow improved to around 350 (reported baseline is
500). The Pulmonary team recommended a cost effective regimen
including Symbicort, Spiriva and Singulair, given the patient
social situation. The pharmacy was called and it was estimated
that this regimen would cost about $13 dollars a month. They
also recommended tapering the patients prednisone down to 20 mg
until follow up with them on [**7-23**]. In addition, the
patient will be set up with outpatient Allergy follow up for
possible RAST testing. Smoking cessation was strongly advised.
The patient left the floor multiple times, according to the
nursing staff, for reasons unknown.
.
# Hospital acquired pneumonia
Throughout the patients course she complained of a cough which
was initially attributed to her asthma exacerbation. Two CXR's
were checked on [**6-27**] and [**7-2**] and both were negative for an
acute process. During that time the patient didn't have a fever
or leukocytosis. Due to a slow recovery, a 3rd was checked on
[**7-5**] and she was found to have a LLL opacity. Given that the
patient had been hospitalized, she was initially started on
broad spectrum coverage with zosyn. Her cough and symptoms
continued to improve and as a result her coverage was narrowed
to Augmentin. She remained afebrile and her WBC was stable.
She will be discharged to home with 9 additional days of
Augmentin to complete her course.
.
# subacute headaches/neck pain likely due to Chiari malformation
The patient initially presented with mild headaches and then on
[**2142-7-3**] she reported the "worst headache of her life" with
decreased visual acuity, floaters and left upper extremity
paresthesias in the setting of poorly controlled BP's in the SBP
170-150 range. As a result, a H-CT was obtained which showed a
effacement of the basal cisterns and a question of cerebral
edema. Neurology team was consulted and they recommended a
MRI/MRV to rule out venous sinus thrombosis. These studies were
done and they were without evidence of acute hypertensive
encephalopathy, sinus vein thrombosis, infarct, or mass. They
did show a low lying cerebellar tonsils and small syrinx in the
proximal cervical cord. The Neurosurgery service was then
involved and recommended MRI of the spinal cord for further
evaluation which showed a small syrinx at C1/C2 and mildly low
lying cerebellar tonsils. The Neurosurgery service felt that
her signs and symptoms of left sided neck pain and headaches
were due to her syrinx and Chiari malformation and the patient
was strongly encouraged to follow up in the clinic. She was
treated in house symptomatically and her headache and floaters
resolved. Her only remaining symptoms toward the end of her
hospitalization was left posterior neck pain/stiffness which was
reproducible on exam. She was given lidocaine patches and was
encouraged to use non-narcotics analgesics given her
constipation.
Her blood pressure was also controlled.
.
# HTN, poorly controlled
The patient had been on blood pressure medications in the past
and it appears they had been stopped for economic reasons. She
was re-started on Norvasc in house to try and achieve better BP
control, BB were not used due to her asthma. HCTZ was then
added and her SBP were between 130-140. Further titration of
her blood pressure regimen should be done as an outpatient.
.
# Constipation
The patient was started on an aggressive bowel regimen. She had
a bowel movement with the assistance of enemas and multiple
medications
.
# Chest pain- most likely [**2-8**] to coughing. EKG was not
concerning for ACS. The patient had TnI negative X3 while in
house. Patient was given Tessalon pearles and Guaifenesin for
cough as well as Guaifenesin with codeine to allow for better
sleep at night.
.
# Sinus Tachycardia
Likely due to anxiety about discharge and albuterol treatment
throughout her course. This improved as nebulizer treatments
were spaced.
.
# Complex social issues
The patient requested social work support several times during
her stay. She reported housing issues in addition to difficulty
obtaining medications. SW provided her with as much support as
possible and made SW support in her PCP's practice aware of
these issues. In addition, they called the patients pharmacy to
be sure she could get her medications with her current
insurance. The pharmacy indicated that she could and the floor
team faxed her prescriptions to the pharmacy. The patient
indicated she did not have any medications at home, as a result
I refilled all her medications. I also continually stressed the
importance of good outpatient follow up.
.

History of Present Illness:
This is a 73 year old female with history of alcohol abuse,
cirrhosis, bipolar disorder, and hypothyroidism, who was
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] with mental status change, aphasia, left
sided weakness and facial droop, and encephalopathy. She was
found at outside hospital to have multiple brain lesions with
mass effect on CT scan.
Here an MRI of the head showed multiple, likely metastatic
lesions of the brain. CT abd showed suspicious low attenuation
lesion in dome of liver. CT head repeat showed multiple
enhancing lesions including the largest in the right frontal
lobe measuring 15 mm, most consistent with metastatic disease.
Unchanged cerebral edema in the right frontal lobe with
associated mass effect upon right lateral ventricle, and no
interval development of hemorrhage or hydrocephalus. The patient
underwent bipsy on 2/209 which has confirmed CNS lymphoma.
Overnight ([**2111-3-3**]) the patient was transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]
after triggering for hypoxia, for closer observation given O2
sats in the 80's to low 90's while on a non re-breather venti
mask. On CXR on [**2111-3-3**] the patient was found to have new
collapse of the RML and RLL, in addition to enlarging pleural
effusions compared to prior AP films. On repeat imaging, the
RML and RLL collapse had resolved and the patient's oxygenation
status improved. It is possible that the patient's hypoxia and
RML/RLL collapse were due to her expanding pleural effusion or
to a mucous plug. Given her improved clinical status, she was
transferred back to the OMED floor.
Past Medical History:
- Bipolar disorder
- Anxiety
- Hypothyroidism
- Chronic ETOH use
- Left distal radial fracture in [**2110-8-22**], chronic back pain,
recent fall with chin laceration and facial contusion, recent
hospital admission for failure to thrive.

with good comprehension. Cranial Nerve Examination: Her pupils
are equal and reactive to light, 3 mm to 2 mm bilaterally.
Extraocular
movements appears full; there is saccadic intrusion. She blinks
to threat in the right, but not the left, visual field. She has
a left facial droop. Corneal reflexes are intact bilaterally.
Her hearing is grossly intact. Her tongue is midline. Palate
goes up in the midline. Sternocleidomastoids and upper
trapezius appear strong. Motor Examination: She moves the left
side less
well than the right. Her muscle strengths are, in general, [**5-26**]
on the right and 4+/5 on the left. Her muscle tone is normal.
Her reflexes are 3+ bilaterally. Her ankle jerks are absent.
Her toes are down going. Sensory examination is notable for
grimace to pinch applied to all 4 extremities. Coordination
examination does not reveal gross appendicular dysmetria. She
cannot walk.

Tissue pathology [**2111-2-23**]:
A) "-5": Gliotic brain tissue.
"-4": Smear - Gliotic brain tissue.
B) "-3": Gliotic brain tissue with scattered atypical round
cells.
"-2": Smear - Gliotic brain possibly with some necrosis.
C) "-1": Gliotic brain tumor with reactive astrocytes,
endothelial proliferation, and infiltration by atypical cells.
"TP": Smear - Gliotic brain with atypical cells - could be
met or infiltrating neoplasm.
D) "+1": Gliotic brain tissue endothelial proliferation, a
minute focus of necrosis, and infiltration by lymphoid cells.
"+2": Smear - Gliotic brain tissue. focus of possible
necrosis and heterogeneous round cell infiltrate. Favor lymphoma
but would also consider inflammatory process, or metastatic
neoplasm.
E) "+3": High grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in keeping with a
primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the CNS, see note.
"+4": Smear - Gliotic brain tissue. with heterogeneous small
round cell infiltrate. Favor lymphoproliferative but would also
consider inflammatory process, or other metastatic neoplasm.
F) "+5":High grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in keeping with a
primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the CNS, see note.
G) "Right brain lesion": Minute fragment of atypical glial
cells, inflammatory cells and necrosis.
The diagnostic lesion is best seen in Specimens E and F,
although it is likely that there is some infiltration by
lymphoma in B, C and D.
Hematopathology note:
(E), (F): High grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in keeping with a
primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the CNS, see note.
Note: Sections E and F show similar features. There is a
diffuse dense infiltrate of atypical mononuclear cells comprised
of predominantly large cells, within finely dispersed chromatin
and multiple small nucleoli. There are focal areas of
necrosis/apoptosis, frequent mitosis as well as perivascular
cuffing noted (see slide F). Reticulin stain highlights
multiple vessel walls.
By immunohistochemistry performed on blocks E and F, the large
atypical cells are diffusely immuno reactive for leucocyte
common antigen LCA (CD45) as well as pan B cell marker, CD20,
and co-express bcl-6 and MUM-1. They do not aberrantly express
CD10 or TdT. By MIB-1 staining, the proliferative fraction
among the neoplastic cells is nearly 100%. CD3 highlights few
admixed T cells. EBV encoded RNA in situ hybridization stain
for [**Doctor Last Name 3271**] [**Doctor Last Name **] virus is negative.
Overall, the findings are of a high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin
lymphoma in keeping with a primary diffuse large B cell
lymphatic of the CNS.
CT head [**2111-2-18**]:
Multiple enhancing cerebral lesions, with vasogenic edema
surrounding the largest of these in the right frontal lobe.
Findings are concerning for metastatic disease.
MRI head [**2111-2-20**]:
Multiple enhancing masses suggesting most likely malignant
neoplasm, metastatic or primary. Diffuse white matter
infiltration and cortical infiltration raises the possibility of
either glial infiltration, or swelling related to recent seizure
activity.
ECHO [**2111-3-2**]:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. 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). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion. There is no aortic valve
stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The anterior mitral
valve leaflet is mildly thickened. 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. Mitral
leaflet thickening with mild mitral regurgitation.
Video swallow [**2111-3-13**]:
Moderate oropharyngeal dysphagia, including aspiration of thin
liquid. The patient is at significant risk for aspiration of
other consistency if eating too quickly. Patient should repeat
bedside swallow evaluation in one to two weeks. The swallowing
pattern correlates to a dysphagia outcome severity scale (DOSS)
rating of 3, moderate dysphagia. Please refer to the speech
therapist's note for full evaluation and recommendation.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 73 year old female with history of alcohol abuse,
cirrhosis, bipolar disorder, and hypothyroidism, who was
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] with mental status change, aphasia, left
sided weakness and facial droop, and encephalopathy. She was
found at outside hospital to have multiple brain lesions with
mass effect on CT scan.
Here an MRI of the head showed multiple, likely metastatic
lesions of the brain. CT abd showed suspicious low attenuation
lesion in dome of liver. CT head repeat showed multiple
enhancing lesions including the largest in the right frontal
lobe measuring 15 mm, most consistent with metastatic disease.
Unchanged cerebral edema in the right frontal lobe with
associated mass effect upon right lateral ventricle, and no
interval development of hemorrhage or hydrocephalus. The
patient underwent biopsy on [**2111-2-23**] which has confirmed CNS
lymphoma.
Overnight ([**2111-3-3**]) the patient was transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]
after triggering for hypoxia, for closer observation given O2
sats in the 80's to low 90's while on a non re-breather venti
mask. On CXR on [**2111-3-3**] the patient was found to have new
collapse of the RML and RLL, in addition to enlarging pleural
effusions compared to prior AP films. She was diuresed and
started on vanc/unasyn on [**2111-3-4**] for aspiration. On [**2111-3-4**],
on repeat imaging, the RML and RLL collapse had resolved and the
patient's oxygenation status improved. It is possible that the
patient's hypoxia and RML/RLL collapse were due to her expanding
pleural effusion or to a mucous plug. Given her improved
clinical status, she was transferred back to the OMED floor.
The patient received a G-tube and PORT placement on [**2111-3-12**].
She also received her second round of Methotrexate chemotherapy
after these procedures and Methotrexate levels followed until
clear. Her renal function remained normal throughout this
treatment. At the time of discharge, she is alert and oriented
x 3 with increasing function of her left upper and lower
extremities to 4/5 strength. She will be returning in two-weeks
for her next methotrexate treatment.

# Anorexia, Fatigue, nightsweats, mild DOE
# Eosinophilia
Given the subacute nature of her presentation and climbing
eosinophilia, there was concern for the possibility of fungal
lung infection. Interventional Pulmonary was consulted, and pt
underwent flexible bronchoscopy with biopsies and BAL for micro.
She tolerated the procedure well, but had a pneumothorax
following the procedure. A follow up repeat CXR was obtained,
which showed an increase in the size of the pneumothorax, and
therefore Interventional Pulmonary placed a pigtail catheter to
treat. Her pneumothorax remained stable with the chest tube in
place, and the chest tube was removed on the day of discharge.
She will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] as an outpatient for the
results from the bronchoscopy.
Her serum galactomannan and beta-glucan are negative. All her
culture data is negative to date, but final results are still
pending.
.
# Lung CA - prior slow progressive adenoCA with now noted new,
more aggressive squammous cell CA.
After d/w Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], he was concerned about possible
leptomeningeal spread of malignancy given her constellation of
symptoms, and he requested MRI head. MRI head was performed,
which did not show any e/o malignancy, and specifically did not
show any leptomeningeal disease. She will follow up as an
outpatient for further evaluation and management of her
malignancy, and follow up of pending bronch biopsies.
.
# Hyponatremia/SIADH
Pt was noted to have hyponatremia on presentation, with sodium
126. Urine studies were obtained, and confirmed the hyponatremia
was consistent with SIADH. She was placed on 1200 cc fluid
restriction, and her sodium subsequently improved. She was
discharged with recommendations for ongoing fluid restriction of
1500cc. She should have her sodium rechecked at her next
clinical appointment.

Admission Date: [**2104-4-12**] Discharge Date: [**2104-4-15**]
Date of Birth: [**2029-8-6**] Sex: F
Service: Medical Intensive Care Unit
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Pustular discharge from implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator pocket.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 74-year-old
female with a past medical history significant for coronary
artery disease status post three-vessel coronary artery
bypass graft surgery x 2, aortic stenosis status post aortic
valve replacement, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension
with a prolonged complicated recent hospital course at [**Hospital1 1444**] from [**1-30**] to [**2104-3-26**]. The patient was transferred from an outside hospital
on [**2104-1-30**] with new onset atrial fibrillation with
rapid ventricular rate and non-ST elevation myocardial
infarction for cardiac catheterization. On cardiac
catheterization the patient was noted to have left main and
two-vessel disease with elevated pulmonary capillary wedge
pressure and severe pulmonary hypertension. On [**2-5**],
the patient underwent redo coronary artery bypass grafting
with left internal mammary artery to the left anterior
descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the
diagonal, and saphenous vein graft to the posterior
descending coronary artery. The patient's postoperative
course was complicated by hypotension requiring pressors,
failure to extubate, atrial fibrillation with rapid
ventricular rate with failure to cardiovert, and acutely
worsening congestive heart failure with a decreased ejection
fraction of less than 20% (prior to coronary artery bypass
grafting the patient's ejection fraction was 50%). The
patient returned for relook cardiac catheterization with
noted acute graft closure and underwent percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting of the left
internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending
coronary artery, and saphenous vein graft to the diagonal.
Post cardiac catheterization the patient developed acute
renal failure with volume overload requiring CVVH, worsening
heart failure requiring intra-aortic balloon pump complicated
by rectus sheath hematoma, and ventricular fibrillation
arrest requiring amiodarone and lidocaine. The patient again
failed to extubate on multiple occasions and a tracheostomy
was placed on [**3-2**]. The patient also underwent PEG
tube placement on [**3-4**] and PICC line placement on
[**3-7**]. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was
placed on [**3-11**] with dual pacer (the delay in
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement was
secondary to multiple infections throughout the
hospitalization including yeast graft harvest site, wound
infection, Enterobacter bacteremia, C. difficile colitis, and
yeast cystitis). Two days post ICD placement, the patient
developed greater than 70 episodes of ventricular
fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia. A repeat
echocardiogram demonstrated a thrombus on the aortic valve
anterior leaflet. The patient was started on TPA for a total
of 24 hours with significant improvement in her aortic valve
gradient. However, the patient subsequently developed an ICD
pocket hematoma requiring operating room evacuation on [**3-17**]. The patient was eventually discharged to rehabilitation
on [**2104-3-26**].
Since discharge the patient has remained hemodynamically
stable without further episodes of ventricular fibrillation
and the patient has been undergoing a progressive weaning
trial from the ventilator with signs of success. The patient
has also remained afebrile, however two days prior to the
current admission, the patient was noted to have significant
erythema around the ICD pocket site. Twenty-four hours later
the patient was noted to have blood and pus draining
spontaneously from the site and the patient was transferred
to [**Hospital1 69**] for ICD removal. The
patient received one dose of vancomycin the morning of
admission while at rehabilitation. The patient denied fever,
chills, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, chest pain as
well as diarrhea. Of note, the patient has been off
diuretics since [**4-7**] for prerenal azotemia.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Atrial fibrillation with rapid
ventricular rate (on amiodarone). 2. Hypertension. 3.
Hypercholesterolemia. 4. Peripheral vascular disease. 5.
Status post right bilateral carotid endarterectomy (left,
[**2102-7-26**]; right [**2101-9-20**]). 6. Type 2 diabetes
mellitus. 7. Coronary artery disease with three-vessel
disease status post coronary artery bypass grafting in [**2092**]
and redo coronary artery bypass grafting on [**2104-2-5**].
Repeat catheterization on [**2104-2-9**] with percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting to the
LIMA-LAD-SVG-diagonal. 8. Congestive heart failure with
biventricular failure. Echocardiogram in [**2104-2-16**] had
an ejection fraction of less than 20%, severely depressed
left ventricular systolic function, severe global right
ventricular free wall hypokinesis, 2+ mitral regurgitation,
2+ tricuspid regurgitation, and bileaflet aortic valve
without aortic regurgitation and normal gradient. 9. History
of ventricular fibrillation arrest between [**2-18**] and
[**3-13**] status post ICD placement with dual pacer
[**3-11**]. 10. Prosthetic aortic valve thrombosis status
post TPA thrombolysis complicated by ICD hematoma requiring
operating room evacuation. 11. Failure to wean from the
respiratory ventilator status post coronary artery bypass
graft, status post tracheostomy on [**3-2**], vent
dependent. 12. History of depression. 13. Status post PEG
tube. 14. Status post right rectus sheath hematoma
evacuation. 15. Aortic stenosis status post aortic valve
replacement (St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**]) in [**2092**] on Coumadin.
ALLERGIES: The patient has no known drug allergies.

SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient is a widow with a 15-pack-year
tobacco history (he quit greater than 15 years ago), with no
history of alcohol excess.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Temperature 97.4, heart rate 72, blood
pressure 103/34, respiratory rate 17, oxygen saturation 97%
on CPAP pressure support of 15, PEEP of 5 and FIO2 of 50%.
General: The patient is a nontoxic appearing elderly female
in no acute distress. HEENT: Normocephalic, atraumatic,
pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and
accommodation, extraocular movements intact bilaterally, dry
mucous membranes, no thrush, edentulous. Neck: Supple, no
lymphadenopathy, tracheostomy in place. Cardiovascular:
Regular rate and rhythm with normal S1 and S2 with a 3/6
systolic ejection murmur at the left upper sternal border
radiating to the neck. Lungs: Clear to auscultation
bilaterally anteriorly with no rhonchi, and well-healed
midline sternal incision. ICD site dressing clean, dry and
intact. Abdomen: Soft, normal active bowel sounds,
nontender, nondistended, no hepatosplenomegaly, PEG tube in
place, clean, dry and intact. Extremities: No cyanosis,
clubbing or edema, warm and well perfused, with 1+ dorsalis
pedis and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally, left lower
extremity thigh wound at the graft incision packed with
occlusive dressing and no purulent drainage. Neurologic:
Nonfocal.
LABORATORY DATA: Complete blood count with a white blood
cell count of 10.7, hematocrit 27.9, platelet count 315.
Chem-7 with a sodium of 131, potassium 3.8, chloride 93,
bicarbonate 28, BUN 70, creatinine 1.2, and glucose 455
(status post two amps of D50 for a glucose of 33). White
blood cell differential 91% polys, 0% bands, 5% lymphocytes.
Chest x-ray on admission showed no evidence of pneumothorax,
ICD leads in good position, bilateral lower lobe atelectasis
with small bilateral pleural effusions.
EKG on admission was normal sinus rhythm at 90 with left
bundle branch block, left axis, Q waves in leads 2, 3 and aVF
with poor R wave progression (unchanged compared with
[**2104-2-16**]).
Microbiology of note during the hospitalization with swab
cultures from the ICD pocket from admission on [**4-12**] with
3+ Gram positive cocci in pairs and clusters, culture
positive for Staphylococcus aureus (sensitivities pending).
Blood culture and urine culture from admission were without
growth.
HOSPITAL COURSE: In the Emergency Department, the
electrophysiology, CT surgery and infectious disease services
were consulted. Per electrophysiology and CT surgery
recommendations, the patient was taken to the operating room
for ICD box removal. Because the patient's admission INR was
2.7, only the ICD box was removed; the pacer/defibrillator
leads were capped and left in place for future removal. An
intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated an
ejection fraction of less than 20% with 2% mitral
regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation and no evidence of
valvular vegetation. The patient was admitted to the
intensive care unit given her ventilator dependence.
REMAINDER OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS: 1. Infectious
disease: The patient's initial OR swab of the ICD site
demonstrated 3+ Gram positive cocci in pairs and chains and
Staphylococcus aureus on culture. The Staphylococcus aureus
sensitivities are still pending at the time of dictation.
The patient continued on vancomycin dosed by level less than
15 per infectious disease recommendations, and is currently
on day four of vancomycin. The patient has remained afebrile
throughout the hospital course and blood cultures remain no
growth to date. The patient will continue on vancomycin for
a total of a 14-day course. A PICC line was placed on [**4-15**] for delivery of intravenous antibiotics.
2. Cardiovascular: The patient was monitored on telemetry
post ICD removal with frequent premature ventricular
contractions and no evidence of recurrent ventricular
fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. The patient
remained rate controlled in the 70s on amiodarone. The
patient was restarted on low-dose aspirin, statin (with
lipids: total cholesterol 221, LDL 147, HDL 45, and
triglycerides 113), and low-dose enalapril for known coronary
artery disease (A low-dose beta blocker was not started
during the hospitalization secondary to congestive heart
failure exacerbation. However, it is the team's
recommendation to start a low-dose beta blocker for known
coronary artery disease with better control of the patient's
volume status). The patient remained anticoagulated for
aortic valve replacement. The patient's Coumadin was held
during the hospitalization with the initiation of heparin at
an INR of less than 2.5. On hospital day number three, with
an INR of 2.2 and four units of fresh frozen plasma, the
patient's ICD leads were removed by electrophysiology without
complications. Echocardiogram during the procedure and
repeat echocardiogram several hours later was without
evidence of pericardial effusion. However, the patient's
aortic valve gradient was noted to be somewhat elevated at
52. Given the patient's reversal of anticoagulation, there
was concern for recurrent aortic valve thrombus. Of note, no
thrombus was noted on echocardiogram. Repeat echocardiogram
demonstrated a decreased gradient of 43.
The electrophysiology service plans to replace the patient's
ICD in the near future after completion of antibiotics for
infection. The patient's echocardiogram demonstrated
persistent biventricular failure with an ejection fraction of
less than 20%, 2+ MR, and 2+ TR. On hospital day three (off
diuretics for a total of five days), the patient developed
pulmonary edema as seen on chest x-ray with coincidental
decreased oxygen saturations. The patient's diuretics
(Lasix, Zaroxolyn and Aldactone) were restarted with a slow
but steady response. Despite the slow response, the
patient's oxygen saturations were improved and remained
stable in the mid-90s.
3. Pulmonary: The patient continued on the ventilator at her
prior vent settings of pressure support 15, PEEP 5, and FIO2
of 40% with adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
4. Endocrine: On admission, the patient developed refractory
hypoglycemia presumably secondary to recent dose of glipizide
in the setting of decreased PEG tube intake with nausea and
vomiting. The patient received D10 per IV and D25 per PEG
tube with maintenance of normoglycemia. The patient's blood
glucose normalized after approximately 24 hours off dextrose
supplements. The patient's glipizide was held during the
hospitalization and the patient was covered with sliding
scale insulin. The patient's glipizide was restarted on
discharge.
The patient continues on Synthroid for hypothyroidism
secondary to amiodarone. The patient's T4 was within normal
limits and the Synthroid was continued on her prior
outpatient dose (the patient's TSH was elevated, however it
is an unreliable measure of thyroid function in the setting
of acute illness).
5. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: The patient was
intolerant of tube feeds early in the hospital course
secondary to persistent nausea and vomiting, despite Reglan
and Zofran. On hospital day number three the patient's tube
feeds were restarted at 10 cc an hour and advanced slowly
without further nausea and vomiting. The patient was started
on ProMod with fiber with a goal of 40 cc per hour.
6. Hematology: The patient's admission hematocrit was low at
27 (down from her prior baseline hematocrit of 29-31). The
patient received one unit of packed red blood cells on
hospital day one with an appropriate bump in her hematocrit.
The patient's hematocrit remained stable throughout the
hospitalization until hospital day four ([**4-15**]) when the
patient's hematocrit dropped to 26.6 from 29.3. The etiology
of the drop was unclear with the exception of possible blood
loss during the ICD lead removal on [**4-14**]. Of note, the
patient also had recent history of guaiac positive stools.
During the hospitalization the patient remained guaiac
negative. The patient is to require one unit transfusion of
packed red blood cells. The [**Hospital 228**] rehabilitation has
agreed to transfuse the one unit on transfer, post discharge
from [**Hospital1 69**].
The patient underwent PICC line placement on [**4-15**] prior to
discharge.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Stable, with adequate oxygenation
and ventilation, hemodynamically stable.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. ICD pocket infection with Staphylococcus aureus
(sensitivities pending).
2. Coronary artery disease status post three-vessel coronary

DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: The patient is to be discharged to
rehabilitation where she has been for the prior two weeks.
The patient will require dressing changes both for the ICD
wound infection and the left thigh graft site wound
infection. Recommendation per CT surgery was wet-to-dry
dressing changes t.i.d. (nonocclusive dressings). Of note
the patient underwent debridement of the left thigh graft
wound infection by CT surgery on the day of discharge.
The patient will continue with her prior weaning trials per
the rehabilitation doctor. The patient has been started back
on Coumadin and will continue on Coumadin for an INR of 2.5
to 3.5. In the meantime the patient will be dosed on Lovenox
to maintain anticoagulation. The patient will require one
unit transfusion of packed red blood cells on arrival to
rehabilitation for an hematocrit of 26.6 on [**4-15**]. The
patient will need further work-up for her down-trending
hematocrit if this persists. The patient is to continue on a
14-day course of vancomycin dosed by level of less than 15.

colonoscopy: Polyps and diverticulosis. Will need repeat

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 41141**] is an 86 y.o. Spanish speaking male with history of
PUD s/p Billroth II and celiac disease, admitted on [**2124-4-6**] to
MICU for BRBPR, s/p colonoscopy revealing diverticulosis.
# Lower GI Bleed:
Patient had a h/o gastric ulcers so initially it was thought
that he could have a very brisk UGIB, but with negative NG
lavage and rectal blood on exam, lower GI bleed felt more
probable. He received 4 units pRBCs, was prepped overnight and
then underwent colonoscopy which revealed diverticulosis and
several polyps but no active bleeding. The polyps were not
removed given recent bleed and the patient will need another
colonoscopy for removal as an outpatient. Hcts remained stable
and he was called out to the floor for observation. He passed
two more clots of old blood per rectum while on the floor, then
had no further bleeding for more than 24 hours. Patient was
discharged home but told to return if he had any further
bleeding or if he developed lightheadedness. He was told to
schedule a followup appointment with his PCP for as soon as
possible on Monday morning. Because of his history of PUD, he
was re-started on omeprazole 20mg daily; he states he does not
have any gastritis or reflux symptoms but will discuss whether
or not this medication is needed with his PCP.
# Hyperkalemia:
Patient has had this in the past in the setting of ARF; on
admission, his creatinine was slightly elevated which likely
contributed to hyperkalemia. There were no associated EKG
changes and the K trended down through the course of his ICU
stay.
# Acute Renal Failure:
His baseline creatinine 1.1-1.3 over the last 2 years and on
admission his creatinine was high-normal for him at 1.3. This
was thought likely [**1-4**] pre-renal azotemia. His medications were
renally dosed and the creatinine trended down during the course
of his ICU stay after transfusion.
# Left Bundle Branch Block:
Patient did not have a history of LBBB including on an EKG 5
months prior to admission. As he had a syncopal event in the ED,
which was thought likely vasovagal in setting of BRBPR, cardiac
enzymes were cycled to rule out cardiac event. Enzymes remained
negative. EKG remained unchanged although on telemetry patient
noted to have intermittent LBBB. It was thought likely this LBBB
was related to age-related degeneration of the cardiac
conduction system and less likely ACS so no further workup was
pursued. Repeat EKG showed persistent LBBB, not rate related.
Patient would benefit from Echocardiogram as an outpatient.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Mr. [**Known lastname 41141**],
You were admitted with bleeding in your GI tract. We performed
a CAT scan of your abdomen and a colonoscopy, and found that you
have a condition called "diverticulosis". Your bleeding stopped
on its own, and you now have a condition called "anemia" (low
blood counts from bleeding), which will impove with time as your
body recovers.
You should eat a high fiber diet (at least 25-30g per day) to
avoid further progression of divertiulosis. High fiber can be
found in whole wheat products, fruits and vegetables.
We also discovered that your blood sugar levels are slightly
elevated, which indicates that you may have a condition called
"diabetes". It is very important that you see Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] for
follow up to have this treated.
No changes have been made to your medications, but it appears
that you have previously been prescribed Omeprazole for reflux,
which you may continue to take if you would like. We will give
you a prescription which you may fill.
Please follow up with your PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **] within 2 weeks to
have your blood counts monitored. We have also made you an
appointment to see Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] in gastroenterology (see below)

Brief Hospital Course:
He underwent an emergent rigid bronchoscopy upon admission to
the ED which showed a large amount of fresh blood. He was found
to have a LLL medial wall arterial "[**Last Name (un) 70229**]" gushing fresh blood,
which was cauterized. He also had a large cast of
clot/tissue/tumor in the LLL which was removed and sent for
pathology. He was sent to the SICU post-procedure where he
remained hemodynamically stable and was extubated without
difficulty. He was sent to the medicine floor team at this
point where he remained hemodynamically stable with no evidence
of recurrent bleeding. Because of his morbid obesity, he could
not undergo any further imaging (CT, MRI, etc) to evaluate for
potential causes of his massive hemoptysis. The tissue sent
from his bronchoscopy returned as clot only, and cytology on the
bronchial brushings was negative. He was arranged to have
follow up with interventional pulmonology for a repeat
bronchscopy in [**4-15**] weeks.
For his sleep apnea, he was continued on nightly BiPAP per his
home regimen. His sister brought in his BiPAP machine fromhome
(since he didn't tolerate the hospital's machine) and it
accidentally fell and broke while in-house. He was set up to
have a new machine delivered to his home immediately after
discharge.
Due to this bleeding and lack of documented CAD, his aspirin was
held while in-house and he was advised to continue holding it,
unless directed otherwise by his PCP.
For his depression, he was started on Effexor 225mg daily (he
had previously been on this dose before running out and never
refilled his prescriptions). A social work consult saw the
patient and referred him to the Disabled Persons Protection
Commission and gave him the phone number for [**Hospital3 40709**]
Commission homemaker services for assistance due to his morbid
obesity.
He was set up with PCP follow up for the day after discharge
since he hadn't seen his PCP in over [**Name Initial (PRE) **] year.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital after coughing up large
amounts of blood. You emergently underwent a bronchoscopy which
showed an artery pumping blood into one of your major airways.
This blood vessel was cauterized and the bleeding stopped. You
had a breathing tube placed down your throat to protect your
airway during this event. You were taken off the breathing tube
without difficulty and remained stable when transferred to the
floor. We do not yet have an explanation for why you had this
large episode of bleeding, so you need to follow up with our
pulmonologists (as scheduled below) for a repeat bronchoscopy.
Please attend all follow-up appointments as scheduled. Please
take all medications as prescribed.
If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, high fevers,
loss of consciousness, coughing up of blood, or any other
concerning symptoms, you need to seek medical attention.
Followup Instructions:

Chief Complaint:
weakness, shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
(Note: patient had right sided chest tube removed that had been
placed at outside hospital)
History of Present Illness:
In summary, Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 74 year old male with past medical
history significant for COPD on home O2, HTN, paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation, (not on coumadin; compliance issues), diastolic
CHF, and OA who presented initially to OSH at [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] on
[**1-14**] with worse shortness of breath from baseline, poor PO
intake. Notable leukocytosis to 22k range and concern for
underlying PNA. Additional imaging with chest CT revealed
loculated right pleural effusion with pleural thickening
suggestive of an empyema as well as smaller left sided effusion.
Zosyn was initiated on [**1-20**] and chest tube was placed at OSH
with failure to obtain any pleural fluid. Outside hospital labs
were significant for leukocytosis 22.2 ([**1-19**]: 10.7); HCT 43;
Na: 135; Co2: 32.7; Creatinine 1.7 (prior 0.9); U tox negative.
.
He was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 86**] SICU for additional thoracics
evaluation for potential VATS/pigtail placement vs.
decortication but thoracics team did not feel imaging or
clinical picture suggestive of true empyema and feels this is a
chronic effusion that does not need to be drained. SICU vitals
on arrival to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 86**] on [**1-20**] were: HR 93, BP 107/55, RR
24 and O2 sat 97% 3L. Thoracic service had chest tube removed
[**1-21**], this morning. Per SICU team, patient's leukocytosis felt
to be secondary to possible PNA vs. UTI given that recent urine
studies growing coag negative staph. Patient was started on
Vanco/Zosyn at [**Location (un) 620**] which was continued here over past day.
.
In addition, at OSH patient went into afib with RVR to 120s and
was managed on a combination of digoxin and diltiazem gtt prior
to transitioning back to oral beta blocker therapy with fair
resolution and HR control (HRs 70-80s).
.
Also developed ARF over last week as his creatinine on admission
to [**Hospital1 **] [**Location (un) 620**] was 0.8 on [**1-14**] and now up to low 2 range. He had
exposure to contrast for CT imaging studies and he was also
given lasix for question of CHF exacerbation at OSH which may
have been contributing factors. Lasix held here since admission.
.
Lower extremity doppler done here after transfer for mild LE
edema and picked up a right LE DVT with thrombus within the
right superficial femoral vein and within the right popliteal
vein. At time of transfer now patient has yet to be started on
anticoagulation for DVT.
.
Lastly, patient also complained of some vague abdominal pains
and per reports he had question of obstruction at OSH so KUB
performed with with nonspecific bowel gas pattern. Here in SICU
patient has had healthy bowel sounds but mild LLQ tenderness. No
BM since transferred at 10pm last night, no nausea, no vomiting.
Of note, history of diverticulosis.
.
At time of transfer to general medicine service on [**1-21**] patient
appeared to be in no apparent distress but seems confused which
is near typical baseline per family. Vitals signs at time of
transfer: T98.3, BP 110/67, HR 89, RR 16 and 02 Saturation 97%

IMAGING:
.
[**1-22**] CXR:
The examination is compared to [**2102-1-21**]. In the
interval, the
patient has received a right-sided PICC line. The tip of the
line projects
over the lower SVC. There is no evidence of complications,
notably no
pneumothorax.
Otherwise, the radiograph is unchanged.
[**1-21**] CXR - FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph,
the right-sided chest tube has been removed. Minimal right
pleural thickening, minimal left pleural effusion. No evidence
of pneumothorax.
.
[**1-20**] CXR - FINDINGS: Small lung volumes. Borderline size of the
cardiac silhouette, small left pleural effusion, small platelike
right atelectasis. On the right, the patient has a chest tube.
The sidehole of the tube is outside the pleural cavity and
projects over the soft tissues. There is no evidence of
pneumothorax.
.
[**1-20**] RLE Ultrasound:
Thrombus within the right superficial femoral vein, with total
occlusion seen in the mid portion and partial occlusion seen in
the proximal portion. The distal portion is patent. Patent right
common femoral vein, which contains a catheter. Small isolated
nonocclusive thrombus within the right popliteal vein.
Non-compressible thrombus demonstrated in at least one right
deep calf vein. No DVT detected within the left lower extremity.
The left peroneal veins were not assessed as the patient refused
further evaluation. 6. 3.0 x 2.1 x 2.7 cm right groin hematoma,
without internal flow.
.
OUTSIDE HOSPITAL IMAGES:
[**1-19**]: Chest CT: MDCT of the chest was done with intravenous
infusion of 100 cc Omnipaque 300. Sagittal and coronal
reformatted images were obtained. There is a moderate posterior
right pleural effusion. Suggestion of thickening and enhancement
of the surrounding pleural surfaces. There is minimal swelling
of the overlying soft tissue as well. There is a minimal
posterior left pleural effusion. There is anterior pericardial
thickening or a small loculated anterior pericardial effusion.
Streaky pulmonary parenchymal densities bilaterally, consistent
with subsegmental atelectasis and/or scarring. There is
scattered atherosclerotic calcification. The heart and
mediastinal structures are otherwise unremarkable. No
lymphadenopathy is identified. There is no significant chest
wall abnormality. IMPRESSION: POSTERIOR RIGHT PLEURAL EFFUSION.
EVIDENCE FOR SURROUNDING PLEURAL THICKENING AND ENHANCEMENT
SUGGESTS THE POSSIBILITY OF EMPYEMA; VERY SMALL POSTERIOR LEFT
PLEURAL EFFUSION. MINIMAL PERICARDIAL THICKENING OR LOCULATED
PERICARDIAL EFFUSION.
.
TTE OSH: Ejection fraction is 55%. He has mild aortic stenosis,
normal tricuspid valve, normal pulmonary valve, no pulmonary
hypertension. Overall findings of his echocardiogram similar to
one from

Brief Hospital Course:
In summary, Mr. [**Known lastname **] is a 74 year old male with longstanding
COPD on home O2, dCHF, atrial fibrillation, admission for
PNA/dyspnea now s/p chest tube placement (then removal) for
questionable empyema who continues to recuperate on IV
antibiotics without any additional thoracic procedures. Please
see below for more detailed hospitalization summary:
.
#Shortness of breath /effusions, healthcare associated PNA: Mr.
[**Known lastname **] has longstanding COPD at baseline and requires home O2
2.5L nasal cannula. He arrived to OSH with notable dyspnea worse
from typical baseline. This was initially attributed to possible
diastolic CHF exacerbation in setting of poorly controlled
atrial fibrillation. He was given generous amounts of IV lasix
at [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] but continued to have some worse shortness of
breath. CXR showed bilateral effusions. However, review of older
images shows these are chronic, fairly stable effusions and seem
a less likely cause for acute worsened dyspnea. Given elevated
WBC to peak 22k, recent malaise, poor PO intake and shortness of
breath there was clinical suspicion for underlying PNA with
worse local inflammatory/irritation and COPD flare up as patient
with very poor pulmonary reserve. The differential also includes
possible underlying malignancy given his declining state x
months, prominent smoking history and and note of pleural
thickening on recent CT chest. In terms of CHF, recent BNP in
1000s range, h/o mainly diastolic CHF with EF 55% on TTE just
days ago. After concern for possible underlying complicated
loculated effusion with CT chest questioning empyema, patient
underwent right sided chest tube placement at outside hospital
but no pleural fluid able to be collected. He was then
transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 86**] Surgical ICU service with urgent
thoracic surgery consult. Thoracic surgery team felt patient had
very minimal effusions on imaging and did not feel CT chest
imaging constituted a true empyema picture. Thus, thoracic
surgery felt a repeat attempt at thoracentesis or any other
invasive procedures like IR guided pigtail drain placement or
VATS/decortication would only be of minimal or no benefit given
very small amount of pleural fluid which was felt to be chronic
as patient has had similar fluid at lung bases in previous
imaging. Chest tube was removed in SICU and patient transferred
to medical service where he was continued on plan for 8 days
continued broad coverage for hospital acquired PNA with IV
Vancomycin and Zosyn. Blood cultures with no growth. Also
continued patient on PRN nebulizers, Advair inhaler, Spiriva,
chest physical therapy routine and he was eventually weaned down
to usual home 2L O2 nasal cannula. At time of discharge he had
no fevers, WBCs in normal range, and no complaints of cough or
shortness of breath.
.
#Leukocytosis: Trend with initial rise from [**1-14**] admission and
then resolved after 2-3 days of being on IV Vancomycin/Zosyn
therapy. WBC trend 10-> 22-> 19-->10--> 8 prior to discharge.
Remained afebrile after his transfer to medicine service on
[**1-21**]. Most probable source was underlying PNA. Although there
was some initial concern for UTI as his urine grew out coag
negative staphylococcus (25-50 only) at OSH. However, a repeat
urinalysis and urine culture collected [**1-20**] showed no
significant evidence for any UTI. Moreover, patient had no
complaints of dysuria, urgency, or frequency. He had some mild
tenderness over his abdominal midline and left side but he
stated this was chronic and due to history of ventral hernia. He
had no concerning abdominal cramps, nausea or emesis prior to
discharge. He did have a few loose stools which were felt to be
a side effect of his antibiotics.
As above, plan is to continue broad IV Abx with Zosyn/Vancomycin
for HAP up until [**1-27**] for full 8 day course.
.
#Right LE DVT: Mild edema was noted on the right lower
extremity. Imaging with ultrasound demonstrated a mixed picture
of possible mixture of both some newer/older thrombi. Patient
very immobile at baseline which increases his risk. He was
started on weight based IV heparin gtt with close PTT monitoring
and started on daily oral Coumadin with plan for at least 3
months of therapy. His heparin was stopped on [**1-24**] when his
INR rose to 2.3 (on 4mg of coumadin) on the evening of [**1-24**] he
got 2mg of coumadin. His INR the morning of discharge was 5.1
(goal INR [**3-2**]) and his coumadin is being held. His INR should be
followed daily and coumadin restarted at 1 mg once his INR is
<3. He will need 3 months of coumadin treatment for his DVT. He
should discuss with his PCP whether he needs to stay on coumadin
longer for his A fib. He has no significant GI bleeding in past
but he is a slight fall risk at this time which makes longer
term anticoagulation decision making more challenging as
risks/benefits need to be discussed further.
.
#Atrial fibrillation: Currently rate controlled with HRs 80s-low
100s range. At home had been on PO diltiazem regimen and needed
placement on dilt drip, digoxin, and additional metoprolol while
at [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**]. He was transitioned to once daily Toprol XL
150 mg the morning of discharge. ******He did have one episode
of emesis and a single dose of metoprolol tartrate 25mg was
given as it is unclear whether he vomited his AM [**Name (NI) 8864**]
dose.********* His metoprolol dose will likely need to be
further uptitrated for tighter HR control. He had a CHADS score
of 3 and a concomitant diagnosis of RLE DVT and is on coumadin
(currently with supratherapeutic INR as above). His worsing a
fib could have been due to hypovolemia volume shifts vs.
infection as outlined above. He was ruled out for acute cardiac
syndromes with biomarkers at OSH. Digoxin was stopped early on
in his admission and no additional diltiazem was used as he did
very well on metoprolol po TID which was transitioned to toprol
XL as above
.
#ARF: Baseline is near 0.9-1.0 range and peaked up to Cr 2.1
range on [**1-20**]. His creatinine was 0.9 on the day pf discharge.
Causes include recent contrast exposure with CT studies,
pre-renal causes in setting of OSH lasix dosing. FeUrea <35% and
urine electrolyte profile favored pre-renal causes. Renal
dysfunction from antibiotics/AIN was also considered but he only
had a very scant amount of eosinophils in urine making this less
probable. Vancomycin was renally dosed and troughs monitored.
His vanco trough was 34.7 on [**1-24**] and 19.8 on [**1-25**]. His
vancomycin dosing was decreased to 1 gram q24 hrs and a dose was
given the morning of [**1-25**]. Gentle IVFs given to patient and his
Lasix was held for several days and his creatinine improved back
to his baseline.
.
#Hypertension, benign: Well controlled and normotensive during
hospital course. Continued on beta blocker as above with no need
to add other agents. His home diltiazem was discontinued.
.
#COPD, chronic: At baseline on home oxygen at 2.5L by time of
discharge. Currently has O2 saturations in the mid 90s range and
has no complaints of worse wheeze or shortness of breath. His
cough has now resolved. As above, continued home Advair and
tiatropium inhaler medications, gave nebulizers PRN, chest
physical therapy and treated PNA with broad antibiotics.
.
#Chronic diastolic CHF: History of noted diastolic CHF. Recent
notes [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Location (un) 620**] with last TTE EF%55, mild aortic stenosis,
normal tricuspid valve, normal pulmonary valve, no pulmonary
hypertension. TTE findings similar to that from [**2099**]. Initially
appears intravascularly hypovolemic to euvolemic on exam with no
JVP despite mild overloaded picture on CXR. Very minimal LE
edema (R>L ; DVT RLE). Continued patient on strict I/O checks,
Na restriction diet. Held lasix briefly while ARF resolved and
restarted home Lasix 20mg daily (restarted on [**1-24**]).

Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure taking care of you here at [**Hospital1 771**]. You were admitted to outside hospital
with shortness of breath, poor appetite, and fatigue. You were
then transferred from [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 620**] after imaging of your chest
with plain x-rays and chest CT revealed concern for possible
complicated pneumonia and worse pleural effusions or fluid on
the lungs. You had a chest tube at outside hospital to attempt
to drain this fluid but because it was a very small amount it
was unable to be successfully drained.
.
You were sent to [**Hospital1 18**] [**Location (un) 86**] for additional management of a
suspected complicated pneumonia and for further evaluation with
the thoracic surgical team. The thoracic surgery specialists did
not feel you needed any further procedures or surgeries. Your
pneumonia was managed with IV antibiotics, increased
supplemental oxygen and nebulizer treatments to help with
shortness of breath. You had no additional fevers and your
breathing was back to your usual baseline on 2.5L oxygen via
nasal cannula by time of discharge. Please continue the
remainder of your antibiotics as prescribed while your pneumonia
continues to resolve. You will need a repeat chest x-ray with
your PCP, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name (STitle) **] in about 4-6 weeks time.
.
You also had recurrence of your known abnormal heart rhythm
called atrial fibrillation. Your rapid heart rate was eventually
controlled on higher doses of metoprolol which should be
continued as an outpatient. The medical team diagnosed you with
acute kidney injury as well which was attributed to dehydration
and effects from a diuretic medication (for your diastolic
congestive heart failure treatment) called Lasix. After getting
gentle IV fluids and holding your lasix for several days your
kidney function returned to [**Location 213**].
.
After notice of right lower extremity swelling you had an
ultrasound study which revealed a blood clot in your leg called
a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Therefore you were started on
blood thinning medications called heparin (IV given) and
Coumadin. You will need to continue your outpatient Coumadin
therapy for at least 3 months, perhaps longer. Total length of
therapy needs to be discussed with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **], your PCP.
.
Please see below for all of your outpatient follow-up
appointment instructions.
.
MEDICATION CHANGES/INSTRUCTIONS:
The following new medications were started:
1. Coumadin daily therapy for your right lower leg blood clot
and atrial fibrillation (prevents strokes). INR level needs lab
monitoring closely on this medicine (INR goal [**3-2**])
2. Toprol XL 150mg daily for heart rate control
3. IV Vancomycin and IV Zosyn until [**1-27**].
4. oxycodone 2.5mg q8hrs as needed for low back pain
5. bisacodyl, senna, and colace as needed for constipation
6. Mirtazepine 15mg before bed for appetite stimulation and
improved mood effects
7. Aspirin 325mg daily
8. Zofran 4mg as needed for nausea
The following medications were discontinued:
-diltiazem
The following medications were continued at their previous dose:
1. Lasix 20mg PO daily
2. albuterol inhaler as needed for shortness of breath or wheeze
3. Advair inhaler twice a day
4. Spiriva inhaler daily

onset SOB, which started this am, hemoptysis, chronic
mucopurulent cough and tachycardia. THe hemoptysis was about
"the bottom of a cup" and is present every time she coughs
something up. At baseline she has a greenish sputum, that is
unchanged from prior. She denies any CP, other than her usual
CP. She reports fevers several days prior for two days. She had
one episode of vomiting yesterday, when she brought up food
contents, but denies any hematemesis. She denies headaches, abd
pain, nausea, diarrhea, melena, dysuria. She has occ orthopnea
and sleeps on 3 pillows. She has stable atypical CP, unchanged
from prior. She reports a "40lb weight loss over 40 days". she
reports her granddaughter was recently sick with "pneumonia".
.
In the ED the pt was satting 88% on her home 4L. She received
combivent, prednisone 60 and azithromycin in ED. An ABG was done
and showed 7.34/60/106 which is close to the patient's baseline.
The pt was also found to be in acute renal failure and a CT was
not advisable. A VQ scan was ordered and the pt was started on a
Heparin gtt. 1L NS was given.

.
Echo
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal
(LVEF>55%). Transmitral Doppler imaging is consistent with
normal LV diastolic function. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no
aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no
pericardial effusion.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2198-4-20**], the left ventricular function has
normalized.
.
CHEST, ONE VIEW: Comparison with [**2199-5-31**], [**2199-5-29**].
Cardiac, mediastinal, and hilar contours are unchanged; right
heart border obscuration again seen, as seen on previous
examinations. Again identified is severe apical emphysema. This
may accentuate the appearance of lower lobe vascular crowding.
Linear atelectasis identified at the left lung base. No pleural
effusion. No pneumothorax. Osseous structures appear unchanged.
IMPRESSION: Similar appearance of severe apical emphysema and
lower lobe vascular crowding, without significant change since
[**2199-5-27**] examinations.
.
CHEST, PA AND LATERAL: The marked upper lobe bullous emphysema
is unchanged. This accentuates the appearance of lower lobe
vascular crowding. There is no focal consolidation. No pleural
effusions are present. The cardiac size, mediastinal and hilar
contours are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: Biapical bullous emphysema without pneumonia.
Brief Hospital Course:
# COPD exacerbation: Patient was treated with IV steroids,
azithromycin, and [**Year (4 digits) 1988**] nebs with improvement back to her
baseline. She was discharged home on a slow prednisone [**Year (4 digits) 15123**].
She is on continuous oxygen at home at baseline.
.
# Hemoptysis: Given patient reported no risk factors for PE and
had no lower extremity swelling on exam, work-up for PE was
deferred. Patient improved quickly to her baseline with
treatment of her COPD flare and her hemoptysis resolved.
Patient denies any history of weight loss, but CT chest without
contrast (given poor renal function) could be considered to
further investigate for evidence of malignancy.
.
# Acute renal failure: Patient's creatinine returned to her
baseline off her ACE and with supportive IVF. She was
discharged off her ACEI, given her potassium has been running
high. She will follow-up with her primary care doctor to
discuss restarting this medication if her creatinine and
potassium remain stable.
# Type 2 diabetes: Patient's sugars were difficult to control
while patient was on steroids. [**Last Name (un) **] was consulted and
recommended starting NPH, in addition to increasing the
patient's home glipizide. The patient received teaching with a
glucometer and was able to check her sugars confidently prior to
[**Last Name (un) **]. She was given a schedule to wean her NPH as her
steroid dose is decreased and she will have close follow-up at
[**Last Name (un) **].
.
# Somnolence/Pysch: Patient was noted to be intermittently
somnolent. The concern in the ICU was for C02 retention;
however, repeat ABGs were no different from her baseline.
Patient's neuroleptics were held with improvement in sx. She
remains on Depakote; risperidal held; and seroquel reduced to 50
mg po qhs.
.
# CHF: Repeat Echo actually demonstrated improvement in EF to
normal. Blood pressure well controlled on her home diltiazem,
in addition to newly started nifedipine in the setting of
elevated bp's off her ACEI.
.
# EPS: During her hospitalization noted to be intermittently
jittery. Initial concern was ?myoclonic jerks. Repeat ABGs
without change in C02. Seen by Neuro/Psych who felt etiology
likely secondary to EPS and steroids. Changes to neuroleptics
as described above.
.
# Sinus tachycardia: On the floor, patient had rare bursts of a
SVT which appears to be sinus tachycardia. Cardiology was
consulted for telemetry and 12 ld concerning for possible
afib/flutter but felt this was consistent with sinus tachycardia
with background noise from her tremor.
.
# Bipolar disorder: Patient's psychiatric medications were
adjusted, as above. Her mood remained stable on steroids,
without evidence of mania. She denies any insomnia.
.
# Hyperkalemia: Patient had an episode of hyperkalemia while
off her ACEI. Renal was consulted. FEK 23%, thus low suspicion
for hyporeninemic hypoaldosterone state. CK was normal so no
evidence of rhabdo. Renal suspects hyperK due to dietary
noncompliance. Patient was put on a renal diet and received
nutrition counseling on continuing on this diet at home. Her
potassium remained stable and will be rechecked as an
outpatient.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 85 yo female with PMH of CAD s/p CABG, CHF who
was in USOH until 1 week ago when she started experiencing cough
and sob. She states that over the course of the week she
experienced progressing shortness of breath and chills. She
states that on the day PTA, she lost her balance and fell and
lay there as she was unable to make it to the phone for about 6
hours. Her daughter found her. The next day, her daughter found
her to be febrile to 103 and brought her to [**Location (un) 20026**]
Hospital.
.
Initially, on admission to NWH, she was febrile but
normotensive. CXR revealed both PNA and fluid overload. BNP
1099. LENI's of her lower extremities were performed due to
complaint of calf pain with ambulation; both extremities
negative for DVT. She was given Lasix 40 mg IV, and her BP
dropped to 60's and she was started on dopamine. She also was
treated with Vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and azithromycin. She was
placed on NRB for her oxygentation and heparin gtt in the
setting of elevated troponins (TropI to 0.9) and transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for further care.
.
On arrival to the [**Hospital1 18**] ER, she had a head CT and CXR and
started on CPAP prior to her transfer to the MICU. At this
time, she reported that her shortness of breath was improving.
She denied chest pain, and ROS revealed only one loose BM per
day for the past 1 week.
.
In the MICU, she required mask ventilatory support and Levophed
for BP support. A right subclavian CVL and left A-line were
placed. Levophed was quickly titrated off, and she was
transferred to the general medicine service on 4L NC for further
care.

Social History:
She has two children, and currently resides with daughter. She
quit smoking 40 yrs ago, previously smoked 1 ppd for 20 years.
She admits to occasional EtOH, denies illicit drug use. She
ambulates without assistance at baseline.
Family History:

Neuro: A&O x 3, moves all ext, 5/5 strength upper and lower ext.
Mentating at baseline, per daughter.
Pertinent Results:
EKG - nsr, left axis, rbbb with lafb, no sig changes compared to
previous.
.
[**12-17**] - CXR: Mild cardiomegaly. Increased opacities in
bilateral lower lobes, especially on the right with effusion and
atelectasis. Increased vascular markings in upper lobes. These
findings can be explained worsening CHF, however, there is a
possibility of right lower lobe pneumonia.
.
Head CT - Chronic small vessel ischemia. No evidence of
hemorrhage.
.
[**12-18**] Echo:
1. The left atrium is moderately dilated. The left atrium is
elongated. The right atrium is markedly dilated.
2. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). [Intrinsic left
ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed given the
severity of valvular regurgitation.]
3.The right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated. There is
focal hypokinesis of the apical free wall of the right
ventricle. Right ventricular systolic function appears
depressed. There is abnormal septal motion/position consistent
with right ventricular pressure/volume overload.
4.The ascending aorta is moderately dilated.
5.The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen.
6.The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate (2+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. The mitral regurgitation jet is
eccentric.
7.Moderate to severe [3+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen.
8.There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
9.There is no pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space
which most
likely represents a fat pad.
.
CXR [**2197-12-20**]:
1. Marked worsening of pulmonary edema.
2. Worsening of bibasilar consolidation, which may be due to an
infectious process or aspiration.
.
TTE [**2197-12-22**]:
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal
cavity size and systolic function (LVEF>55%). Regional left
ventricular wall motion is normal. The right ventricular cavity
is moderately dilated. There is mild global right ventricular
free wall hypokinesis. There is abnormal septal motion/position.
There is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study
(images reviewed) of [**2197-12-18**], the degree of tricuspid
regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension are less. The RV is
still dilated and hypokinetic.
.
CXR [**2197-12-23**]
Persistent pulmonary edema.
Bilateral pleural effusions. The slight interval increase in the
left-sided pleural effusion may be attributable to differences
in patient positioning.
.
CXR [**2197-12-27**]
Compared with [**2197-12-23**], the posterior left pleural effusion
appears grossly unchanged. No significant increase is seen
involving the much smaller right pleural effusion.
The right lower lobe atelectasis/infiltrate is grossly
unchanged.
Brief Hospital Course:
85 year old woman with h/o CHF, CAD s/p CABG admitted with
pneumonia & CHF exacerbation.
.
1. Pneumonia: Likely community acquired PNA. She has been
treated with azithromycin, vancomycin, and ceftriaxone;
vancomycin d/c'd after 7 days as patient is low-risk for
nosocomial MRSA pneumonia. Gram stain and sputum cultures
unrevealing. Influenza DFA negative. She completed a 10d of
Cef/Azithro. She required supplement O2 at discharge to
maintain SpO2>92% (she was down to 1.5L). This should continue
to be titrated down. After completing her treatment, she
remained afebrile.
.
2. CHF: Patient with known h/o CHF. Echo performed during this
hospital course show RV dysfunction and dilation (see ECHO
reports). Abnormal septal motion/position was felt to be
consistent with RV pressure/volume overload. This pulm HTN was
not new as she had previously PA HTN from prior to CABG in [**2196**]
and in [**6-/2197**] - per ECHO done by her primary cardiologist. LVEF
normal. It is possible that cause of RV failure is acute
pulmonary disease; however, the differential diagnosis includes
PE vs. ischemic disease. She had positive trops, but only
mildly elevated without EKG changes and thus was felt to be
demand related. At [**Hospital1 18**], our goal for her was for a negative
fluid balance, particularly in the setting of worsened pulmonary
edema on most recent CXR. After coming off pressors and transfer
to floor, the patient was aggressively diuresed with 40mg [**Hospital1 **] IV
of lasix. We diuresed her with a goal of -2L per day. She still
required oxygen upon discharge, but with continued diuresis,
this should be able to be weaned down. She was discharged on
Lasix 80mg PO BID; Once she is euvolemic and no longer requiring
oxygen, she should be switched back to her home dose of Lasix
40mg po daily. She should have repeat electrolytes on [**1-1**]
to ensure her kidney function is stable. She should follow up
with her cardiologist in the next 1-2 weeks and have a repeat
echocardiogram at that time once she is euvolemic. Initially
held BB & [**Last Name (un) **] in the setting of hypotension and ?sepsis. These
were restarted before discharge. Continued amiodarone per prior
regimen. Weight on discharge was 236lb. She was maintained on
a low sodium diet.
.
3. CAD: Patient with known h/o CAD, s/p CABG. Patient
presented with troponin leak (peaking at 0.15) but asymptomatic
with no associated EKG changes. She was on a heparin gtt at
outside hospital but this was discontinued once enzymes downward
trending. Troponin leak was likely secondary to demand ischemia
in the setting of pneumonia. Continued ASA, Zetia, Lipitor and
BB.
.
4. Acute renal failure: Cr elevated to 2.3 on admission
(baseline 1.1) with pre-renal etiology (FeNa <1%). Creatinine
did continue to increase with diuresis, and on discharge was
1.4. It is likely indicative of appropriate diuresis with
relative hypovolemic state, necessary in this patient to keep
her dry and prevent pulmonary edema.
.
5. Atrial fibrillation: Rate controlled with beta blocker and
amiodarone. In sinue rhythm during this hospitalization. Not
clear as to why the patient is not anticoagulated as she was
anticoagulated in the past. This should be readressed with her
cardiologist.
.
6. Pulmonary effusion: R sided effusion; ultrasound shows little
layering of the fluid. Followed by XRays. Relatively stable on
discharge.
.
7. Hypothyroidism: continue levothyroxine.
.
8. Code Status: Full code.
.
9. Communication with daughter [**Name (NI) **] ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 60685**]. PCP: [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **].

Service: Medicine
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 75-year-old male with
a history of nephrolithiasis and a question of
leiomyosarcoma, transferred from [**Hospital3 1196**]
for suspected urosepsis, positive troponin leak in the
setting of new atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular
response, status post cystoscopy with stent placement for
obstructing stone with pus.
He presented to [**Hospital3 1196**] with suspected
urinary tract infection based on a urinalysis and was given
Levaquin after [**Hospital3 **] and blood cultures were drawn and then
transferred to [**Hospital1 69**] for
further management. Here, he reported fevers, chills, nausea
and vomiting times two days. He complained of some mild
dysuria times two days without frequency and had one episode
of nonbloody emesis and bile. He had normal bowel movements.
He last had a urinary tract infection about seven months ago,
history requiring intervention, possible cysto.
The patient was admitted initially to the Medicine Service,
but on the morning of [**4-21**] complained of fatigue and mild
nausea without abdominal pain or back pain. He was sleepy
and forgetful at times. A CT scan was done to rule out stone
obstruction basically showed large right renal cyst, mild
hydronephrosis with periureteral stranding.
Overnight events on [**4-21**] were notable for atrial
fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response to 176. He
was given Lopressor 5 mg intravenously times three. Dinamap
showed blood pressure peaked at 140 there, with blood
pressure low of 85/58 and then up to 140s. He spiked and was
cultured, and a dose of vancomycin was given. Blood cultures
then came back with gram-negative rods in the blood. He had
emesis times two on [**4-21**], and a small bowel movement on
[**4-21**].
In the afternoon of [**4-22**], he was brought to the operating
room for a cystoscopy, a right JJ stent (6 cm X 26 cm) was
placed. Pus was drained from behind the obstructing stone.
The patient currently denies any chest pain, shortness of
breath, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. He only
complains of thirst.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Hypertension.
2. Diverticulitis.
3. Nephrolithiasis; treated by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 41116**] at
[**Hospital3 1196**].
4. Right groin leiomyosarcoma had caused obstruction in the
past; surgery at [**Hospital6 1708**] with
orchiectomy, treated by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **].
5. Chronic renal insufficiency with a baseline creatinine
of 1.2.
6. Right renal complex calcified cyst last measured at
12 cm X 9 cm (as of [**2128-7-25**]).
ALLERGIES: PENICILLIN causes hives.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Medications at home included
Vasotec and Hytrin.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: Medications upon transfer from the
floor to the Intensive Care Unit included droperidol,
Dulcolax, Colace, Fleets, lactulose, intravenous fluids,
Tylenol, Ambien, aspirin, and Levaquin.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He is a retired psychiatrist. Son [**Doctor First Name **]
and daughter ([**Name (NI) **]). Occasional alcohol use. He quit
tobacco 40 years ago.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: In general, the
patient was sleep but easily arousable, supine, height of
5 feet 11 inches, weight of 250 pounds, temperature of 99,
pulse of 105, blood pressure of 138/56, oxygen saturation
of 96% on 2 liters nasal cannula. Head, eyes, ears, nose,
and throat examination revealed extraocular muscles were
intact. Normocephalic and atraumatic. Cardiovascular
examination revealed irregularly irregular. Normal first
heart sound and second heart sound. No murmurs. Pulmonary
examination anterolaterally revealed clear to auscultation.
The abdomen revealed normal active bowel sounds but
diminished overall, distended, and nontender. Groin with a
well-healed inguinal scar, nontender. Extremity examination
revealed no edema. Neurologic examination revealed alert and
oriented times three, appropriate, moved all extremities.
Rectal was guaiac-negative/brown.
PERTINENT LABORATORY DATA ON PRESENTATION: Laboratory data
on [**4-22**] revealed sodium of 141, potassium of 3.8,
chloride of 108, bicarbonate of 21, blood urea nitrogen
of 40, creatinine of 1.8, blood glucose of 105. Creatine
kinase was 111, troponin was 18.3, CK/MB of 26, CK/MB index
was 23.4. Magnesium of 1.7. Arterial blood gas revealed
7.49/33/93/26. Lactate was 3.8. Blood cultures revealed
gram-negative rods, lactose fermenter not specified. [**Month (only) **]
culture revealed pan-sensitive Escherichia coli,
gram-negative rods, lactose fermenter not speciated.
RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: KUB revealed nonspecific bowel gas
pattern with a few prominent gas-filled small bowel loops,
but no evidence of high-grade obstruction.
CT of the abdomen on [**4-21**] revealed a 8-mm obstructing
stone in the distal third of the right ureter producing mild
hydronephrosis, several other calcifications were noted in
the bilateral peripapillary regions, two 12-cm right renal
cysts with peripheral calcification was only partially
evaluated on the noncontrast examination. Due to the
patient's renal failure, a renal magnetic resonance imaging
was recommended to exclude a more complex renal mass when
clinically indicated. Cholelithiasis without obstruction or
cholecystitis. Slight splenomegaly. Linear soft tissue
stranding in the right inguinal region of uncertain etiology
of significance; please correlate with physical examination
and surgical history to exclude an acute inflammatory
process. Apparent regions of focal bone loss in L3 vertebral
body and right femoral neck were likely degenerative.
Pathologic lesions could not be entirely excluded.
Electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation with a rapid
ventricular response of 160, with ST depressions in the
anterior leads of 2 mm to 3 mm.
IMPRESSION: This is a 78-year-old man with urosepsis, atrial
fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response, and positive
cardiac enzymes.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. INFECTIOUS DISEASE/UROLOGY: The Urology Service followed
the patient while in the hospital, status post stent
placement with return of pus. The stent was kept in place to
be removed several weeks after discharge when the patient was
more stable. Only one stone was removed. The patient had
evidence of more stones. He was monitored for further signs
or symptoms of obstruction.
The patient was continued on intravenous Levaquin with the
consideration of adding gentamicin if his creatinine
tolerated this. Vancomycin was discontinued. Escherichia
coli in the [**Month (only) **] culture at the outside hospital was
pan-sensitive. The patient was continued on aggressive
intravenous fluids. Intravenous fluids were discontinued
because of evidence of congestive heart failure, and the
patient was encouraged to take p.o. hydration.
Cultures taken at [**Hospital1 69**] were
negative to date including blood cultures and [**Hospital1 **] cultures.
Levofloxacin was changed from intravenous to p.o. on
[**2129-4-24**]. The patient experienced some incontinence,
and his Pyridium was changed from p.r.n. to a standing dose.
Per the Urology team, he was also discharged on Urised two
tablets p.o. q.i.d. times 10 days for his incontinence.
Levofloxacin was to be continued for a total of 14 days.
2. CARDIOVASCULAR: Atrial fibrillation with a rapid
ventricular rate. The patient was given doses of Lopressor
on the floor; a total of 50 mg intravenously.
In the Intensive Care Unit, the patient was continued on
Lopressor for rate control. He was anticoagulated with
heparin, and the plan was to get an echocardiogram on the
patient to rule out thrombus. His atrial fibrillation was
thought to be triggered by his septic state.
The patient's troponin and creatine kinase leak/rise was
thought to be ischemia related to sepsis and atrial
fibrillation. The patient had no known cardiac history. The
patient was anticoagulated with heparin, continued on beta
blocker, and continued on aspirin. Creatine kinases and
troponins were followed and trended down. The patient
remained hemodynamically stable, although with some evidence
of congestive heart failure on examination.
The patient responded well to diuresis with Lasix.
Electrocardiogram which showed ST depressions was repeated
with resolution of the ST depressions. The patient was
started on captopril 12.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. on [**4-23**].
Coumadin was also started that day for atrial fibrillation
with a plan to follow up with Cardiology as an outpatient.
On [**4-25**], the patient reverted back to sinus rhythm and was
well rate controlled with beta blocker. On further
consideration, Coumadin was not started, and he was continued
on a heparin drip. The patient remained in sinus rhythm for
the remainder of his hospital stay.
A cardiac echocardiogram was suboptimal secondary to poor
echocardiogram windows showing mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy, ejection fraction of greater than
55%, 2+ mitral regurgitation, and mild pulmonary
hypertension. He heparin drip was discontinued, but he was
continued on his Lopressor and captopril. An outpatient
exercise tolerance test will be considered.
3. RENAL: The patient with chronic renal insufficiency with
a baseline creatinine of 1.2. This may be secondary to
hypertension versus old obstruction. It should not increase
in the setting of unilateral obstruction alone, but with
sepsis and volume depletion this was not unexpected. He was
continued on aggressive hydration; although, this was stopped
briefly because of signs and symptoms of congestive heart
failure. His [**Month (only) **] output was followed as was his
creatinine. Medications were renally dosed for a calculated
creatinine clearance of 50 cc per minute.
The right renal mass seen on CT scan was thought to be
chronic, per his primary care physician. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] electrolytes
and FENa were suggestive of prerenal azotemia in the setting
of decreased oral intake secondary to nausea, vomiting, and
abdominal pain with kidney stone. The patient was to have
followup of renal cyst as an outpatient with magnetic
resonance imaging or CT with contrast. His renal function
improved by the time of discharge with a blood urea nitrogen
of 37 and a creatinine of 1.3; almost at his baseline.
4. HEMATOLOGY: The patient with anemia. Guaiac-negative;
unknown baseline. Monitored closely on heparin.
Coagulations were followed closely on heparin. A decrease in
hematocrit may have been secondary to dilution from
hydration.
On [**4-23**], the patient had a large liquid stool which was
occult-blood positive, but his hematocrit remained stable,
and he did not require any transfusions. He was continued on
Protonix.
5. ONCOLOGY: Leiomyosarcoma without a history of metastatic
disease. A head CT in the past was negative for metastatic
lesions; though bony lesions were concerning on CT scan. The
patient will need further workup of his L3 vertebral body
right femoral neck bony lesions.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Condition on discharge was stable.
DISCHARGE STATUS: Discharge status was to home.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Urised two tablets p.o. q.i.d. p.r.n.
2. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d.
3. Protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d.
4. Lopressor 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.
5. Vasotec (previous home dose).
6. Hytrin (previous home dose).
7. Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.d. (times 12 days).
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Right ureteral stone complicated by urosepsis.
2. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; troponin leak.
3. Hypertension.
4. History of diverticulitis.
5. History of leiomyosarcoma; removed several months ago.

Chief Complaint:
gangrenous left heel and right heel/great toe ischemia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
1.Ultrasound-guided imaging for vascular access;contralateral
second-order catheter placement with bilateralextremity runoff &
abdominal aortogram. ([**2108-12-6**])
2.Right lower extremity bypass graft with nonreversed saphenous
vein graft. ([**2108-12-10**])
3.Left femoral to posterior tibial artery bypass with in situ
saphenous vein graft. ([**2108-12-12**])
History of Present Illness:
HPI: 65 M h/o CAD s/p MI in [**2085**], CHF (EF ~20%), DM2, ESRD on HD
(? h/o [**Year (4 digits) 2091**] with urosepsis, on since [**10-18**]), admitted [**12-6**] for
bilateral foot gangrene s/p b/l femoral bypass on [**12-11**] (right
leg) and [**2107-12-13**] (left leg) transferred from vascular service for
syncope in setting of V fib.
.
Patient admitted on [**12-6**] after noted to have gangrenous changes
of both heels while at rehab. Underwent bypass sx w/o
complication. On [**2108-12-13**] pt was finishing ultrafiltration ~1pm
(renal note dated early), when he was noted to have a syncopal
event for ~10seconds, with telemetry suggestive of VT/VF. He
regained consciousness. Per pt, he had no further syncopal
episodes. CODE BLUE called ~13:15 for a syncopal event. Pt was
hemodynamically stable upon arrival, alert, oriented, breathing
without difficulty. EP was called, and per EP interogation of
ICD initially felt to have AF with intermittent conversion to
NSR, then VT with attempt to ATP unsucessfull resulting in VF
which was shocked x 1.
.
Of note, the prior evening, patient developed hypotension with
sys bp in 60's of unknown etiology and was started on
phenylephrine gtt with improvement in BP. Per surgical service,
this was in the setting of slow VT, though it is unclear whether
slow VT was the sole cause of hypotension (ddx includes sepsis,
bleeding, adrenal insufficiency POD#1). He was being treated
with cipro/flagyl/vanco empirically.
.
Patient had been in and out of the hospital since end of [**Month (only) 359**]
with recent admissions at OSH for CHF exacerbation, UTI and
syncopal episode [**10-18**] [**1-12**] afib with RVR. Discharged to rehab.
Noted to be in V-tach at rehab during syncopal episode in 3rd
week of [**Month (only) **]. per pt, CPR was administered and he was
defibrillated. However, upon reevaluation of rhythm by his
cardiologist, thought to be in afib with aberrancy. No history
of syncope prior to [**10-18**]. At that time, amiodarone was
increased and patient was again discharged to rehab. He was also
started on hemodialysis for unclear reasons (?allergic reaction
to [**Last Name (un) **]).
.
On review of symptoms, positive hx of L LE DVT (~[**2104**]). Denies
any prior history of stroke, TIA pulmonary embolism, bleeding at
the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, hemoptysis, black
stools or red stools. He denies recent fevers, chills or rigors.
He denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the other
review of systems were negative. Currently w pain in b/l legs
with movement. No dysuria. Does report vomiting, approx [**3-16**]
episodes post op. Approx 3 episodes today. Denies nausea.
Passing flatus, no abdominal pain. Last BM 2 days prior.

Brief Hospital Course:
.
ASSESSMENT AND PLAN
.
65 M with MMP including CAD s/p MI, CHF(EF 20% s/p BiV/AICD),
atrial fibrillation on coumadin, Type II DM, ESRD on HD,
admitted for gangrenous heels [**1-12**] PVD s/p femoral bypass with
course complicated by syncopal episode and V-fibrillation s/p
AICD cardioversion.
.
# Bilateral femoral bypass: Underwent surgery on [**12-11**] and [**12-12**]
for right and left femoral bypass. Procedure was uncomplicated
with good distal pulses post procedure.
.
# Hypotension: Patient became hypotensive requiring pressors.
Initially started on neosynephrine drip. Following day patient
had syncopal episode secondary to Ventricular tachycardia and
Code Blue was called. Given low SVR, normal PA diastolic,
borderline leukocytosis and two possible infectious sources
including BL gangrene and a mass on the RA lead of his AICD,
hypotension was felt to be due to sepsis. Although he initially
had a low cardiac index, this was thought to be consistent with
CHF with EF of 20%, and unlikley to be due to cardiogenic shock.
Attempted to wean neosynephrine, but MAPS dropped down to the 55
range. He did not respond to a 1L fluid bolus so a levophed drip
was started to provide pressor support with some inotropy.
Patient continued to require pressure support for the remainder
of his course in the intesnive care unit. Pancultures were sent
and antibiotic coverage was advanced to vancomycin and zosyn.
However patient minimally improved.
.
.
# CAD/Ischemia: Hx of MI. No evidence of ischemic changes on
ECG. mild trop leak likely [**1-12**] renal failure, as CK and MB flat.
Continued ASA. ACE and beta blocker held in setting of
hypotension. Cardiac enzymes were cycled to rule out ischemic
source of troponic leak. However cardiac enzymes remained flat.
.
# Rhythm: Hx of atrial fibrillation on coumadin since [**2105**].
Recent admission to OSH for syncopal episodes thought to be [**1-12**]
atrial fibrillation with RVR. Being followed by EP during this
admission for episodes of asymptomatic slow V-tach and afib,
plan had been to cardiovert AFIB, and then ablate slow
monomorphic VT, however patient later developed polymorphic VT.
The patient had multiple episodes of wide complex tachycardiat.
Trend has been that he converts from a paced rhythm, to atrial
fibrillation, and then degenerates into either polymorphic or
monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Shocked once by ICD and
three times externally overnight on [**12-15**], and given 2g of
magnesium. EP was consulted, recommending to d/c amiodarone
given polymorphic VT in the setting of a prolonged QT interval
450-500, start lidocaine gtt and aggressive repletion of
electrolytes. Patient was started on mexilitine. However later
due to altered mental status was unable to take oral
medications. Patient became increasingly unstable with
persistent ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation unresponsive to
defibrillation by his AICD or externally. As team was unable to
convert rhythm, prognosis was poor, he was unstable and
requiring increasing pressure support and patient was in
distress from persistent shocks, team had discussion with health
care proxy and decision was made to change goals of care to
comfort measures only. Pressors were discontinued and patient
expired soon afterward.
.
# Pump: EF 20%, s/p ?biV AICD in [**2105**]. No evidence of frank
pulmonary edema, hypotensive requiring pressors with CI
1.8->2.1, likely secondary to class III heart failure with EF of
20%. Therefore CHF regimen held.
.
# Valves: no evidence of valvular disease on ECHO.
.
# Thrombus on ICD wire: Reviewed echocardiogram with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **],
and the mass is consistent in nature to infection v.
inflammatory. Recommending a TEE for further evaluation. However
patient was increasingly unstable and unable to tolerate TEE.
.
# PVD: s/p bilateral bypass surgery. Extremities were cool, but
well perfused, with scant blood oozing from L LE thigh wound,
though otherwise groin sites were clean/dry/intact. Continued to
be followed by vascular surgery throughout course.
.
# ESRD: etiology of [**Name (NI) 2091**] unclear(started HD [**10-18**]), s/p
ultrafiltration [**2108-12-13**], ?stopped prematurely secondary to
syncope and hypotension. Started on CVVH as respiratory status
began to decline day prior to expiration.
.
# DM: insulin dependent, x 12 years. FS QID, continued on ISS.
.
# hyperlipidemia:
- continue statin
.
.
# gout - no sx currently, will follow.
- cont allopurinol qod.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
S/P ACD
S/P POSTERIOR CERVICAL RECONSTRUCTION
History of Present Illness:
68 M PMH thyroid ca with mets to bone and liver, history of
intrathecal narcotics requirement, who p/w increased pain. The
pain is located in the L shoulder scapular to humoral region,
with no obvious radation, and was [**2156-9-14**] in severity. He also
describes other chronic pains, including leg and some chest pain
with heavy coughing, but these have been stable. He was seen by
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 19**] on [**1-16**], where he was also noted to have some L sided
weakness, and was sent for an MRI to evaluate for metastatic
disease, which as noted below showed no new changes. He was
attempting to increase his decadron as indicated by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 19**],
when he couldn't handle the pain this AM, and came to the ED.
He has also described some diffuse paresthesias of both
fingertips, although primarily on the L--no apparent pattern.
Otherwise, he denies focal weakness, numbness, incontinence of
stool or urine, urinary retention, HA, as well as any F/C/NS,
LH, appetite changes, SOB, N/V, or abdominal pain. He has a
chronic cough [**3-9**] radiation, and also noted poor fluid intake
over the past few days, although no apparent reason. He
requires a walker to ambulate, but notes no change over the past
few days.

Pertinent Results:
MR [**Name13 (STitle) 2853**] [**2153-1-17**]: There is no change from [**2152-2-12**]. There is
metastatic disease at C7-T1 and T2 with collapse of T1 and
resultant kyphosis. There is stable epidural disease. There
have been posterior laminectomies and there is no spinal cord
compression, although there is probably some myelomalacia and
atrophy at the level of the surgery, unchanged.
*
L Shoulder/humerus Plain film: Read pending; no obvious
fracture, ? metastatic involvement.
.
CXR [**1-22**]: Patchy opacities most prominent in the right lower
lobe, worrisome for pneumonia.
.
CT spine [**1-23**]: Progression of the lytic osseous and epidural
metastases, with progressed malalignment. Fracture through the
T2 pedicle screws bilaterally
.
CTA [**1-23**]: 1) Right lower and right middle lobe air space
consolidation consistent with pneumonia. There appears to be
narrowing of the bronchus intermedius.
2) Left lower lobe atelectasis and patchy multifocal bilateral
generalized foci of air space disease most likely reflecting
consolidations though metastases are not excluded.
3) Progression of osseous vertebral and hepatic metastasis.
4) No evidence of PE.
5) Possible cervical instability.
.
Bone scan [**1-23**]: 1) No abnormal uptake in the left upper
extremity. 2) Uptakecorresponding to known metastases in the
sternum, cervical spine as above. The new uptake in the left
11th and 12th rib ends likely post-traumatic.
Brief Hospital Course:
68M thyroid ca to bone + liver p/w increased pain L shoulder/
humerus. Pt was admitted to the Medicine service and treated
for the following problems:
.
# pneumonia: Patient had altered MS and low grade fevers [**1-22**]
and CXR performed which suggested pna. Started on levo/flagyl
with concern for aspiration. [**1-23**], patient had new hypoxia and
hemoptysis. Hematocrit has remained stable. CTA negative for PE
but did confirm significant pneumonia. No fevers since starting
levo/flagyl.
.
#L shoulder/humerus pain: Evaluated by radiation oncology who
felt that risks of radiation in setting of multiple prior
episodes was quite high especially given instability.
Neurosurgery consulted for cervical spine. His pain was
initially difficult to control, but was ultimately dramatically
improved when he was changed to a dilaudid PCA--he did not have
relief from fentanyl patch, likely b/c of soft tissue wasting
and future efforts at long acting medications should be PO.
.
#thyroid ca, metastatic disease: progressive in spine and
likely contributing to current complaints. Levothyroxine was
continued. consider neupogen. Will d/w attending Oncologist
.
# thrush: The patient was admitted with thrush which was
succesfully treated with nystatin S&S.
Neurosurgery team asked to eval this pt on [**2153-1-23**] and was
transferred to our service for spinal deformity which was noted
on upper level of images (CT chest) to r/o PE. CT of cervical
thoracic spine was obtained and results of T1 collapse noted.
Pts family, at that time wanted to continue care with prior
Neurosurgeon/Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1327**]. This was communicated to this
neurosurgery team. Some short time later the family wished
against transfer out to Dr.[**Name (NI) 1334**] care and decided that they
would want surgery to correct spinal deformity/kyphosis here.
The pt was placed in [**Last Name (un) 20482**] Halo traction at 30lbs of traction.
This was in attempt to reduce kyphotic deformity for
pre-operative optimization. A CT scan of the spine was obtained
in traction and good reduction of the deformity was noted. The
pt was then medically optimized and pre-op'd and taken to the OR
on [**2153-2-8**] for C7 T1 T2 corpectomies/ anterior approach. There
was a lot of bleeding during the initial anterior approach / the
case lasting approximately 7 hours. It was decided that the pt
would remain intubated and return to the OR on the 5th (the next
day for continuation of the case. The second portion of the
case was completed that day (the 5th). Thoracic surgery
assisted because of mediastinal mass / we needed sternotomy to
control bleeding and complete ant. approach. The total EBL was
7.5 liters with the pt being given 22 units of PRBC's. He had a
chest tube placed on the left side intraoperatively. This was
removed on approx 1/7/7. Postoperatively he was started on
Fondiparinox on [**2-13**] as he is HIT positive. On [**2153-2-14**] he had a
peg tube place. His postoperative head CT and spine CT's were
stable. His neurological status postoperatively was stable. All
extremeties are antigravity and his mentation is intact. His
course complicated by intermittent low HCT's for which he was
transfused. Temps as high as 102.+ for which he was started on
Zosyn. On [**2153-2-16**] his left upper extremity was noted to be
swollen and son[**Name (NI) **] noted LUE DVT. On the 14th, the halo ring
that was initially placed for use of cervical traction and for
potential halo vest placement was removed. He remains in a
cervical collar and had been OOB to chair. The patient required
prolonged ventilation he had difficulty clearing his secretions.
His family was offered a trach but they felt the patient had a
difficult post operative course and was suffering they did not
want to the patient to under go further procedures. The patient
had made his wishes clear to his family not to be dependent or
on a ventilator for a prolonged period. After a long discussion
with the family and Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] they decided to extubate the
patient and see if he could tolerate being extubated, he quickly
passed away in a few minutes with his family at his side.

vomiting and diarrhea for further GI evaluation.
.
Patient initially presented to [**Hospital3 3583**] on [**2106-10-3**] with
right-sided rib pain, nausea, vomiting (x 1 day) and loose
stools (4-5 per day x 1 month, non-bloody). He was found to
have a total bilirubin of 1.9, ast 71 and alt of 76; also with
elevated white blood cell count of 18.6. Patient had an
abdominal CT scan on admission which showed fluid in the colon
consistent with enteritis vs colitis. He was started on iv
ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. Stool was negative for
C.difficile. GI (Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was consulted, reviewed the CT
scan with radiology - stable dilation of the CBD compared to
[**2102**] and [**2101**] with dilation all the way to the ampulla and no
intraluminal abnormality/stone seen; also with stable segmental
intrahepatic dilation that appears to be related to previous
liver surgery. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was concerned for biliary obstruction
however patient unable to have MRCP due to pacemaker. Per
patient's request was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
evaluation. Of note total bilirubin decreased to 1.1 but ALT
increased from 76 to 102.
.
Regarding patient's right-sided rib pain - described as
constant, starts under right axilla and radiates to right
shoulder and right upper quadrant, worse with inspiration. No
recent falls. An x-ray was done at [**Hospital3 3583**] which showed
healing fractures of the right 8th and 9th ribs (patient had
presented to the [**Hospital1 18**] ED on [**2106-7-26**] after falling out of a
broken chair and elbow pushing into right chest wall - pa/lat
cxr at the time did not reveal any rib fractures; rib pain had
resided two weeks ago). Given patient's significant cardiac
history he was monitored on telemetry at [**Hospital3 3583**] without
any significant events and ruled out for AMI with 4 sets of
negative troponins. CTA of chest was done which was negative
for pulmonary embolism (had a positive d-dimer).
.
Currently patient continues to have right-sided rib pain with
inspiration that is [**10-4**] at maximum. Denies any chest pain or
sob. Endorses several episodes of palpitations over the past
week. Currently denies any abdominal pain. Endorses nausea and
dry heaves. No po intake since hospitalization and no further
bowel movements.

Brief Hospital Course:
57 year old male with pmhx significant for CAD s/p CABG and LAD
stent, porcine tricuspid valve, complete heart block s/p
pacemaker, hypertension, GERD, biliary stricture s/p CCY and MVA
[**2071**] s/p multiple abdominal surgeries including partial liver
resection who was transferred from [**Hospital3 3583**] with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea from likely infectious colitis. Hospital
course was complicated by the development of symptomatic atrial
fibrillation/ atrial flutter requiring TEE cardioversion.
1. presumed colitis: Patient transferred from OSH with nausea/
vomiting/ diarrhea from likely infectious colitis. CT scan at
OSH was compatible with diagnosis of acute colitis vs enteritis,
although patient's complaint of diarrhea appears to be more
chronic and may warrant further outpatient evaluation.
Abdominal ultrasound, stool studies were negative including
repeat cdiff toxin although cdiff pcr was still pending at the
time of discharge. Symptoms improved with conservative
management of initial bowel rest followed by BRAT diet, demerol
for pain control (given multiple analgesic allergies) and
cipro/flagyl. He was discharged to complete an 8 day course of
antiobiotics to end on [**2106-10-9**].
Clostridium difficile pcr will need to be followed as an
outpatient.
2. atrial fibrillation/ atrial flutter: complained of
symptomatic palpitations with dyspnea x 1 month prior to
admission. On further investigation, patient was found to have
intermittent afib/ flutter with HR up to 160s resulting in
dyspnea and anxiety although otherwise hemodynamically stable.
He was transferred to the ICU for further evaluation. Etiology
of arrhythmia was unclear: CTA negative for PE at OSH, TSH
within normal limitis, ruled out for cardiac ischemia although
echo showed biventricular dysfunction. Electrophysiology was
consulted to interrogate pacemaker and found that mode switch
off device was tracking atrial flutter with resultant
ventricular rate of 120-130 bpm. Pacer was readjusted with
immediate releif of symptoms of palpitations and 'impending
sense of doom.' However, remained in a-fib wih occasional
bursts of tachycardia, despite increased b-blocker dosing, so
Cariology recommended cardioversion. He subsequently had an
elective TEE guided cardioversion and was started on dabigatran
[**Hospital1 **] for anticoagulation. He was able to ambulate around the ICU
with stable heart rate and no significant symptoms.
He was discharged home with increased metoprolol dose of 75mg
[**Hospital1 **], dabigatran [**Hospital1 **] and was placed on [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] of hearts monitor x
2 weeks to assess for significant remaining arrhythmias. He
will follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] to discuss further treatment and
evaluation.
3. R.sided rib pain: osh film with healing 8th and 9th rib
fractures - no new trauma, ? healing from injury in [**2106-7-26**]
and if so unclear why pain improved and is now worsening; PE
ruled out by negative CTA; no evidence of PNA; ROMI negative at
OSH and at [**Hospital1 18**], making ischemia unlikely. Pain was managed
conservatively with demerol and lidocaine patch prn with
resolution of symptoms through hospital course.
4. Leukocytosis: likely due to infectious colitis as further
infectious evaluation negative including blood, urine and stool
cultures. Downtrended throughout hospital course and was normal
at the time of discharge.
5. CAD/HTN: As above, no signs of active ischemia per EKG and
serial cardiac enzymes. Maintained on home plavix and statin
with addition of ASA 81mg. Bblocker was uptitrated for AV nodal
blockade.
6. Anxiety: patient complained of significant anxiety relating
to palpitations through hospital course which was managed by
ativan prn.
Transitions of care:
# afib/ flutter s/p d/c cardioversion:
- KOH monitor x 2 weeks
- dabigatran [**Hospital1 **] for anticoagulation until cardiology follow up
- bblocker uptitration
- follow up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]

Discharge Instructions:
Mr [**Known lastname 1352**],
You were transferred to the intensive care unit at [**Hospital1 18**] for
fast heart rates that required pacemaker adjustments and an
electrical cardioversion. Your heart rate was intermittently
fast afterwards, and your metoprolol dose was increased. Your
abdominal symptoms improved while taking antibiotics for your
colitis.
.
We have made the following adjustments to your medications:
-CONTINUE CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg every 12 hours, through the end
of [**10-9**] (tomorrow)
-CONTINUE METRONIDAZOLE 500 mg every 8 hours, through end of
[**10-9**] (tomorrow)
-START DABIGATRAN 150 mg by mouth every morning and evening.
This is a new blood thinner that may make you more likely to
bleed. Please see below for warning signs of increased
bleeding. Please continue taking this through your appointment
with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] (see below for information on how to schedule
this appointment).
-INCREASE METOPROLOL TARTRATE to 75 mg by mouth, every 12 hours.
Please continue taking this regimen until your follow up with
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. At that point, you may be able to switch to a
once-daily pill. It is important to continue taking this every
12 hours to maintain your heart rate at a good level.
-You can continue to take ACETAMINOPHEN AS NEEDED for pain.
Please do not exceed the dosage as recommended on your discharge
medication list.
.
It has a pleasure caring for you.

Date of Birth: [**2114-3-3**] Sex: F
Service: TRAUMA [**Last Name (un) **]
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient presented after a
moderate speed motor vehicle crash on the [**Location (un) 26358**] around 30
miles per hour. She was the restrained driver. There was no
air bag in the car. Partially recalls events. No definite
loss of consciousness. The patient was walking at the scene
with assistance. Initially she complained of chest pain
where the seat belt was. On presentation her vital signs
were temperature of 98.8, heart rate 88, blood pressure
107/66, sats 99% on 2 liters nasal cannula, respiratory
rate 18.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Hypertension. Fibromyalgia. Status
post C5-C6 discectomy after previous motor vehicle crash with
small bowel repair. Status post hysterectomy. Bilateral
mammoplasty.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Fentanyl 25 mcg patch every 72
hours, aspirin, Prilosec 20 q.day, Prozac 60 q.day,
nortriptyline 50 q.h.s., Klonopin 1.5 mg q.h.s.
ALLERGIES: Penicillin causes hives.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On presentation she was alert, awake
and oriented. Pupils were equal and reactive to light.
There was a small right subconjunctival hemorrhage. No
ptosis. Vision was intact. Trachea was midline. Heart was
regular rate and rhythm. Chest had moderate ecchymosis and
hematoma forming on her right breast and right flank. She
had lacerations with muscle involvement to her chin, right
upper eyelid and above her nose. Abdomen was soft. There
was significant ecchymosis along the lower abdomen from a
seat belt injury. No rebound, no guarding. Guaiac was
negative, good rectal tone. She had abrasions to both knees.
Strength was [**6-6**] in all extremities. Sensation slightly
decreased at the fourth and fifth left fingers. Cranial
nerves were intact. Toes downward bilaterally.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission hematocrit was 33.9. BUN and
creatinine were 18 and 0.8, sodium 140, K 4.3. PT/PTT 12.1
and 25.1, INR 0.9. EKG was within normal limits. Chest
x-ray showed no fracture, no pneumothorax. Lateral C-spine
was clear to C-5. Pelvis no fracture. CT head no bleed. CT
neck no fracture. CT chest showed a large right breast
hematoma. CT pelvis abdomen no free fluid or traumatic
event.
ASSESSMENT: This is a 58 year old woman status post motor
vehicle crash with a large right breast hematoma. Studies
otherwise negative except for a significant amount of
bleeding into her breast which was increasing in size as well
as subconjunctival hemorrhage and the facial lacerations.
HOSPITAL COURSE: She was admitted to the SICU for
hemodynamic monitoring and had serial hematocrits, serial
abdominal exams. She received IV fluids, pneumoboots and
Protonix. The patient also reported that she was on the way
back from the dentist where she was supposed to start
erythromycin for a tooth abscess, so we put her on
clindamycin 600 q.eight. On her admission hospital day her
C-spine was attempted to be cleared given that she had CT
scan of her neck which did not show any fracture or
dislocation. However, on palpation of the bones of the
cervical vertebrae she had tenderness, therefore, the collar
was kept on and neurosurgery was consulted.
In the SICU she basically had an uneventful course. However,
her hematocrit did continue to decrease slightly and the
patient had a transfusion of two units given for hematocrit
less than 25, approximately 23.4. Facial lacerations were
sutured in the emergency department and continued to be
treated with bacitracin. She was on fentanyl patch and
Neurontin for pain medications which she tolerated. The
patient was found to also have a left fourth finger distal
phalanx fracture without displacement and plastic surgery was
consulted for her hand. They put her in a splint and gave
her followup instructions.
The patient was transferred to the floor with stable
hematocrit. Physical therapy saw her and she was able to
ambulate without difficulty, without assistance. C-collar
was in place. Neurosurgery gave their final recommendations.
DISPOSITION: To home.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Improving.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: Trauma clinic in one week, phone
number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 274**], call to schedule the appointment.
Neurosurgery: the patient is to continue the C-collar and
follow up with her private neurosurgeon, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. She is
going to call to schedule that appointment, [**Telephone/Fax (1) 26359**].
Hand clinic on Tuesday, [**2172-10-6**], [**Telephone/Fax (1) 26360**], call
for an appointment. Diet should be regular. The patient is
going to have a home safety evaluation by physical therapy.
Her anticipated goal would be return to preadmission
functioning.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: Continue preadmission meds, Fiorinal
p.r.n., aspirin, Prozac, nortriptyline, Neurontin, Klonopin
as well as the following medicines: bacitracin ointment to
the lacerations twice per day, Percocet 5 one to two tabs
p.o. q.four to six p.r.n., Lacri-Lube drops to right eye
q.day times seven days, Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. times five
days.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Status post motor vehicle crash.
2. Status post left fourth distal phalanx fracture in
splint.
3. Ligamentous injury C-4 to C-6 with spinal stenosis C-6 to
C-7 without cord compression.
4. Status post right eye subconjunctival hemorrhage with
visual blurring.
5. Past medical history of fibromyalgia and hypertension.
6. Known allergy to penicillin, although she tolerated

STUDIES:
[**2106-2-5**] Abdominal aortogram with right lower extremity runoff.
ANGIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS: The abdominal aorta is extremely
angulated but smooth. There were patent bilateral common,
internal and external iliac arteries. The renal arteries and
single and patent bilaterally. The right lower extremity shows a
patent common femoral artery, profunda femoral artery and
superficial femoral artery, popliteal, anterior tibialis and
peroneal arteries. The PT is occluded and both the AT and the
peroneal arteries occlude at the ankle. There were vessels seen
in the foot.
SUMMARY: Either thrombosis or embolism of the right foot
arteries. Nonviable foot. Will likely need a right below knee
amputation.
.
[**2-10**] CT abd/pelvis: There is free fluid in the pelvis. There is
dilatation of bowel loops with a maximum of 7 cm in diameter.
.
[**2-13**] CTA abd/pelvis:
1.A slight interval increase in size in the bilateral pleural
effusions and adjacent consolidation/atelectasis.
2.The aorta is normal in caliber, all its main branches are
widely patent.
3. Hypodense areas in both lobe of the thyroid gland.
4. Mild cardiomegaly.
5. Cholelithiasis.
6. Splenic and cortical renal infarcts.
7. Ascites.
.
Pathology: Ileocolectomy:
Acute hemorrhagic infarction involving the mucosa of the cecum
and colon.
The infarction extends in the mucosa to the proximal ileal
margin.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname 61764**] was admitted to vascular surgery service with
gangrene of the right foot that was likely secondary to
thrombosis or embolism of the right foot arteries, as confirmed
by angiography. As she was not a candidate for
revascularization, she was prepped for right below knee
amputation. She was started on broad spectrum antibiotics. Given
the patient's poor nutritional status, MIS surgery was consulted
regarding PEG placement at the time of amputation. The patient
underwent above knee amputation of the right extremity by
vascular surgery and PEG placement by MIS surgery on [**2106-2-9**].
Please see operative report for full details.
.
On post-operative day #1, the patient complained of abdominal
pain. Initially, this was not associated with peritoneal signs
and the patient underwent CT scan evaluation. This revealed some
free air and ascites. Subsequent exam of the patient did reveal
abdominal distention and peritoneal signs that were associated
with elevation in WBC and decreased urine output. As a result,
the patient was taken to the OR for exploratory laparotomy on
[**2106-2-10**]. Please see operative report for full details.
.
In the OR, the patient was found to have ischemic colon without
frank perforation extending from the cecum to the end of the
descending colon. SHe underwent extended R colectomy and end
ileostomy. She was transferred to the SICU for care.
.
In the SICU, the patient received IV antibiotics. In the week
following admission, the patient remained intubated but appeared
to be improving slowly. THe patient was extubated on [**2106-2-14**]
with a functioning ostomy. The following day, however, the
patient developed blood per rectum. This was associated with a
fall in her hematocrit. On [**2106-2-17**], the patient was taken back
to the OR for exploratory laparotomy. In the OR, 46 cm of
necrotic and ischemic bowel was found. The patient underwent
resection of small intesting as well as ileostomy. Please see
operative report for full details.
.
Post-operatively, the patient underwent extensive
hypercoagulable work-up and was found to be HIT positive. She
was started on Agastroband. On [**2106-2-21**], a code was called on the
patient for pulseless electrical activity secondary to
respiratory distress. She was re-intubated and resuscitated
successfully. A family meeting was held on [**2106-2-23**] at which time
her code status was changed from full code to DNR/DNI (if
successfully extubated). After several days, as the patient was
not tolerating extubation, the patient's code status was
discussed again with the family. On [**2106-2-26**], the patient was made
comfort measures only and she expired at 13:47 on that same day.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 17931**] is a 59 yo man with DMII and mitral valve prolapse
who presents with several days of severe lower back pain and
lower extremity weakness in the context of recent fevers,
nightsweats, and left knee effusion. He was in his usual state
of health until 2 weeks ago, when he began having night sweats,
which soaked through his sheets. He developed myalgias and
fever to 103 over the weekend prior to admission ([**6-13**]), which
resolved by [**6-15**], when he began having left knee pain and
swelling; he went to orthopedic clinic [**6-17**] where his left knee
was noted to have a large effusion thought to be related to
worsening of his chronic knee osteoarthritis. Arthrocentesis
was performed, which improved his pain; he also used vicodin and
ibuprofen at home.
.
The lower back pain began on the day of the arthrocentesis
([**6-17**]) and progressively worsened in severity; he describes it
as a sharp pain without any radiation and describes "spasms" of
increasing pain. He distinguishes this pain from his past pain
associated with degenerative lumbar disease/disc herniations,
which produced sciatic symptoms. On the day of presentation, he
notes severe back pain and bilateral leg weakness that made him
unable to step into the shower. He had no fecal or urinary
incontinence, no urinary retention symptoms beyond his baseline
BPH symptoms, and no sensory loss of his lower extremities. He
had no neurologic symptoms such as weakness or numbness of his
upper extremities or trunk.
.
No recent travel, sick contacts, sexual contacts, risk factors
for TB, procedures (other than arthrocentesis), no recent dental
cleaning (does have chipped tooth, but does not involve gums).
He denies any rashes but notes [**5-28**] "growths" on hand, scrotum;
he was seen by a dermatologist, who diagnosed them as benign
lesions associated with aging, and removed them with liquid
nitrogen. No headache, neck stiffness, or visual changes. No
cough, mild SOB, no chest pain. He notes mild worsening of his
chronic right knee pain, but denies pain in other joints. He
denies abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea and has a
good appetite. +constipation, with no BM x1-2 days.
.
In the ER his initial VS were: T 97.0 HR 110 BP 155/77 RR 20 O2
sat: 100% on RA. His T max in the ER was 101.5. He was given 2mg
IV morphine x 2, then 4mg IV x 2 for pain without much effect.
1mg IV dilaudid improved his pain somewhat. He was given 2L IVF.
He was also given tylenol 650mg x 1 and vanc/ceftriaxone. In the
ER an MRI (non contrast) was performed which revealed L2-L3 disc
protrusion that causes severe canal stenosis with effacement of
the thecal sac. In addition there was increased signal of L5-S1
suggesting possible early discitis but there was no contrast.
There was no paraspinal soft tissue abnormality. Neuro was
consulted and thought a repeat scan with IV contrast should be
performed and that the patient had a lower extremity exam that
was limited by severe pain but may have some objective weakness
of his proximal lower extremities L > R.
.

CXR [**6-29**]
A thick crescentic opacity in the left lower lobe is more likely
atelectasis than pneumonia. The peripheral component has
improved slightly since [**6-26**], but the central component has
not. Lung volumes remain quite low, but there are no findings to
suggest pneumonia elsewhere. There is no pleural effusion or
evidence of central adenopathy. Heart size is normal. Ascending
thoracic aorta is tortuous or mildly dilated.
.
ECHO [**6-30**]
The left atrium is normal in size. Right ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic root is
moderately dilated at the sinus level. The ascending aorta is
mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened. No masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic
valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image
quality. There is no aortic valve stenosis. Trace aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. The mitral valve leaflets are myxomatous. There is
mild mitral valve prolapse. No masses or vegetations are seen on
the mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal
image quality. An eccentric, anteriorly directed jet of mild
(1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. No masses or vegetations are
seen on the tricuspid valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to
suboptimal image quality. The estimated pulmonary artery
systolic pressure is normal.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2111-6-19**],
mild mitral valve prolapse of the posterior leaflet is now
visible. The severity of mitral regurgitation is slightly
increased (but still mild). The other findings are similar.
.
LENI [**6-30**]
IMPRESSION:
1. Deep vein thrombosis seen in the right leg and the right
superficial
femoral vein extending to the right popliteal vein where it is
nonocclusive.
DVT in one of the two right posterior tibial veins.
2. DVT seen in the left calf in the two posterior tibial veins
and in one of the two peroneal veins.
Brief Hospital Course:
59 yo M with DMII and mitral valve prolapse presenting with back
pain, left knee pain and effusion in the setting of recent
fevers and nightsweats, found to have strep viridans bacteremia
and septic left knee joint.

with IV vancomycin. He was seen by orthopedic surgery and the
infectious disease services. Received an I&D in the OR on [**6-20**].
POD [**5-28**], knee felt warm, swollen without erythema. Per ortho,
received an arthroscopy and washout on [**6-28**]. Pt has continued to
improve since this procedure.
-Patient can be somewhat discouraged and resistant to pushing
himself through PT, but is very cooperative with some
encouragement
.
# Back pain, lower extremity weakness: The history of fever and
nightsweats and possible septic joint was concerning for
vertebral osteomyelitis via hematogenous seeding. A noncontrast
lumbar CT and MRI (with and without contrast) were negative for
osteomyelitis or epidural abscess but revealed progression of
degenerative disease with nerve root compression at L2-L3,
L5-S1. He was seen by neurology in the ED given lower extremity
weakness. Once the patient's pain was better controlled (with
muscle relaxants and opioids), there was no evidence of lower
extremity weakness on exam, though exam continued to be limited
by knee pain. The back pain is most likely due to degenerative
disease, which may have been exacerbated by antalgic gait due to
left knee pain. He had ongoing PT while inpatient and pain was
well-managed.
.
# Bacteremia, ?endocarditis: [**4-26**] blood cultures drawn [**6-19**] were
positive for strep viridans. Given his increased risk of
endocarditis due to mitral valve prolapse, TTE was obtained and
was negative for endocarditis and, notably, for mitral valve
prolapse. We then proceeded with a TEE, but this was
unsuccessful due to a known Schatzki's ring (dx by EGD in [**11-28**])
which prevented the probe from passing. Given his continued
nighttime fevers, there was still concern for both bacteremia
and endocarditis and so IV antibiotics continued. However,
recent vancomycin troughs were sub-therapeutic(7.0) even with
high dosing. IV ceftriaxone was considered, but patient has a
?history of a allergic rash with CTX over the weekend. By ID's
recommendation, patient went to the unit overnight to receive a
ceftriaxone desensitization. Ceftriaxone desensitization
subsequently failed [**2-24**] development of hives. Patient was
transferred back to medicine team and continued with IV vanco,
again with subtherapeutic troughs and continued nightly fevers.
White count trended slightly upward (from 8 to 10). Lung exam
became suspicious for pna, see below. Due to low vanc troughs,
patient was switched on [**6-26**] to daptomycin. ID weighed in and
considering new HAP and suboptimally treated bacteremia,
determined new abx regimen of linezolid, aztreonam, and cipro,
which patient began on [**6-27**]. Pt was changed back over to
daptomycin on [**6-30**]. It was not thought that pt had a HAP given no
fever, WBC count or cough. CXR confirmed that LLL opacity was
due to atelectasis.
.
#hypoxia-? Hospital acquired pneumonia: on [**6-26**] CXR showed LLL
consolidation. With clinical picture of nightly fevers and
trending WBC, patient began treatment of levofloxacin. Patient
temporarily required 2L NC on the night of [**6-26**] but quickly
weaned to RA. ID recommended abx regimen to cover bacteremia,
endocarditis, and HAP: linezolid, aztreonam, and cipro. Repeat
CXR found LLL opacity attributable to atelectasis and pneumonia
coverage was discontinued per above. In addition, pt with sats
of 94% on RA. The initial hypoxia may have been due to a small
PE given the known b/l DVTs. However, pt is currently undergoing
treatment with lovenox and coumadin. He sure be sure to have a
therapeutic INR before his lovenox is discontinued.
.
#B/l DVT/LLE swelling: Admitting physician noted lower extremity
swelling on exam, most likely associated with the septic joint,
but DVT was ruled out with LE ultrasound on [**6-19**]. However, pt
returned to have swelling repeat LENI showed b/l DVT and pt was
started on lovenox with bridge to coumadin. His lovenox should
be continued until INR is therapeutic.
# Hypertension: Patient had no known history of HTN, but found
hypertensive (140s-160s/80s-90s) inpatient. Started on
metoprolol 25mg PO BID and hypertension well-controlled.
Continue as an outpatient, please follow-up with PCP for HTN
[**Name9 (PRE) 100010**] would be a great candidate for an ACEI given DM2
history.
.
# Hyperglycemia: Patient's fasting FS were in the 200s. He was
placed on 7U NPH [**Hospital1 **] with HISS coverage preprandially.
.
# Constipation: Patient complained of constipation upon
admission (no BM in past 1-2 days). Placed on a bowel regimen
and had a large BM on day 3. Held off on bowel regimen but
continued to follow constipation.
.
# Urinary retention: Patient has history of untreated BPH, began
tamsulosin while inpatient, continue as outpatient and follow-up
with PCP for changes to this regimen.

Discharge Instructions:
.
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] for
lower back pain and leg weakness. MRI showed degenerative
disease of your spine, but no evidence of infection. The lower
extremity weakness improved with better pain control. Your
blood and the fluid from the knee tap on [**6-17**] grew a type of
bacteria called streptococcus, which is being treated with
antibiotics. You also had a washout of the left knee by the
orthopedics service. You had an ultrasound of your heart to see
if the bacteria was infecting your heart valves, but you are
already on antibiotics anyway. It was thought that the bacteria
came from your mouth. Therefore, you were seen by the dental
service and had 2 teeth pulled. In addition, you were found to
have blood clots in your legs. For this, you were started on a
blood thinning medication.
.
The following changes to your medications were made:
1) You started daptomycin-an antibiotic
2) You started pain control-dilaudid, MS contin, and a lidocaine
patch. Please do not drive while taking this medication.
3) You started anticoagulation-lovenox and coumadin.
4) You started stool softner medication-senna and colace
5) You started blood pressure medication-metoprolol. This can
likely be stopped or changed to an ACE inhibitor or
hydrochlorothiazide in the outpatient setting.
6) You started peridex after the teeth removal-a cleaning
mouthwash.
7) You started tamulosin- a medication to ease urinary flow
(Flomax).
