Final Report
INDICATION: Left occipital mass.
COMPARISON: [**2119-12-29**] MRI brain from [**Hospital3 3583**] and
scanned into our
PACS system for review.
FINDINGS: The right occipital lobe mass is similar in size to
the [**2119-11-28**] MRI, measuring today 24 x 27 x 26 mm (AP x ML x
SI). The mass has a thick rind of enhancement and a T1
hypointense center.
The adjacent edema has decreased slightly, with slight interval
expansion of the occipital [**Doctor Last Name 534**] and atrium of the left lateral
ventricle and better
definition of adjacent sulci. No new lesions are seen. Major
intracranial
vessels are patent.
IMPRESSION: Left occipital lobe mass, necrotic-appearing. This
can represent a metastasis from the patient's lung cancer or a
primary neoplasm. There has been slight interval decrease in the
adjacent vasogenic edema and slight interval decrease in mass
effect. Study for surgical planning.

INITIAL Chest XRAY: AP UPRIGHT PORTABLE : Multiple left-sided
rib fractures are seen within the mid axillary line, with an
underlying left-sided moderate-sized pleural effusion. There is
no pneumothorax. Within the right lung, there is patchy
opacification involving predominantly the lower two thirds of
the right lung consistent with aspiration pneumonia. The
surrounding soft tissues reveal a dilated stomach, filled with
air and fluid.
IMPRESSION:
1) Several left-sided rib fractures with underlying pleural
effusion. No evidence of pneumothorax.
2) Right lung aspiration pneumonia.
3) Dilated stomach.
CHEST (PA & LAT) [**2167-5-26**] 8:47 AM:INDICATION: Question
pneumothorax. Left rib fractures.
There is no evidence of pneumothorax. Cardiac and mediastinal
contours are stable. Bilateral multifocal pulmonary opacities
are again demonstrated affecting the right lung to a much
greater degree than the left. Diffuse hazy opacities are noted
throughout the right lung. Within the right upper lobe, the
opacities become slightly more dense and confluent. Scattered
hazy and reticular opacities in the left lung are unchanged. A
small left pleural effusion is stable. Left-sided rib fractures
are again visualized.
ECHO:Conclusions:
1. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic
function are
normal (LVEF>55%). Regional left ventricular wall motion is
normal.
2. The aortic root is mildly dilated. The ascending aorta is
mildly dilated.
3. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened with marked
posterior aortic
annular calcification. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial
mitral
regurgitation is seen.
5. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
CAROTID ULTRA SOUND: IMPRESSION: No stenosis of the right ICA.
Less than 40% stenosis of the left ICA.
HEAD CT: IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality
visualized. No areas of abnormal enhancement seen.
Brief Hospital Course:
84 yr old male transferred from [**Hospital 1562**] Hospital for eval of
hemothorax s/p fall ? r/t syncope. Py sustained left rib
fractures, hemothorax and resp distress as a result of fall.
Pt was directly admitted to the ICU for monitoring and high O2
requirement.
Chest XRAY showed edema right > than left w/ bilat effusions and
left hemothorax and left rib fractures. Pt was significantly
diuresed w/ IV lasix w/ modest improvement in his resp status. A
chest tube was placed on [**5-22**] for hemothorax and was removed
[**2167-5-26**]. Pt's O2 requirement decreased significantly from 15
liters to presently 3L NP over the course of his hospital stay.
He is presently 93% on 3LNP. He was begun on 10 days of
augmentin [**5-26**] for persistant ground glass appearance on CXR (
aspiration PNA)and very low grade leukocytosis and absence of
fever or cough.
He is [**Last Name (un) 1815**] regular diet, OOB to chair and ambulation but has
not returned to his previous level of activity thus requiring a
brief rehab stay.
During his hospitalization a syncope w/u was done including a
head CT which was negative, Carotid ultrasound -which showed <
40% on the left ICA and clear on the right. Cardiac Echo showed
Trivial Mitral regurg - see results section of summary for
specfic details of these reports.
A holter monitor study is all that remains to complete the work
up- although his telemetry has been unremarkable during his
stay.

Admission Date: [**2127-3-23**] Discharge Date: [**2127-3-27**]
Date of Birth: [**2051-10-9**] Sex: M
Service: [**Hospital6 733**]
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 35-year-old
gentleman with a past medical history significant for
coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass
graft times four in [**2119**], with a patent graft in [**2126**],
congestive heart failure, type 2 diabetes (with neuropathy
and retinopathy), status post femoral-to-popliteal bypass for
peripheral vascular disease, recurrent urinary tract
infections, nephrolithiasis, and abdominal aortic aneurysm
repair who was at home when his wife noted significant
dizziness and called 911.
The patient reports having dizziness and decreased oral
intake for the past three days, burning on urination, and
diarrhea. On the night prior to admission, he experienced
lightheadedness and fell to the floor but did not hit his
head. During this time he also continued to take all of his
medications including his Lasix.
He was brought to [**Hospital1 69**] where
his blood pressure was found to be 115/50 which subsequently
dropped to 88/39. His lactate was increased at 7.5, and his
white blood cell count was 19.5. His temperature was 100.6.
He qualified for the sepsis protocol which was initiated in
the Emergency Department. The patient was started on
dobutamine and Levophed, and he received 3 liters of normal
saline in the Emergency Department. He also received
levofloxacin and Flagyl intravenously.
The patient was transferred to the [**Hospital Ward Name 332**] Intensive Care Unit
for further care.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease; status post coronary artery
bypass graft times four vessels in [**2119**] with patent grafts in
[**2126**].
2. Congestive heart failure (with a normal ejection
fraction).
3. Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
4. Osteoarthritis.
5. Pacemaker.
6. Recurrent urinary tract infections.
7. Nephrolithiasis.
8. Excised skin cancer (basal cell) from right nose.
9. Peripheral vascular disease; status post left popliteal
bypass.
10. Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in [**2119**].
11. Cataract repair.
12. Status post hernia repair.
ALLERGIES: TETANUS SHOT (causes swelling).
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION:
1. Lopressor 25 mg by mouth twice per day.
2. Lasix 80 mg by mouth twice per day.
3. Lipitor 10 mg by mouth once per day.
4. Aspirin 325 mg by mouth once per day.
5. Diovan 80 mg by mouth once per day.
6. NPH insulin 40 in the morning and 34 in the evening.

8. Ativan 1 mg by mouth at hour of sleep as needed.
9. Nexium 40 mg by mouth once per day.
10. Sublingual nitroglycerin as needed.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient has a remote tobacco history.
He is a retired carpenter. He drinks only occasionally. He
lives with his wife.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Temperature was 99,
his blood pressure was 126/41, his pulse was 92, his
respiratory rate was 28, and he was saturating 98% on 4
liters. In general, this was a pleasant, conversational, but
fatigued-appearing gentleman in no acute distress. Head,
eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed a right
surgical pupil. The left pupil was reactive. The
extraocular movements were intact. The oropharynx was clear.
The mucous membranes were dry. Cardiovascular examination
revealed a regular rate and rhythm. Normal first heart
sounds and second heart sounds. There was a 2/6 systolic
murmur heard best at the left sternal border with no
radiation. Pulmonary examination revealed the patient had
fair air movement and crackles at the right base. The
abdomen was soft and protuberant. Nontender except for the
left lower quadrant where there was slight tenderness.
Extremities revealed no clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. There
were palpable pulses bilaterally. Neurologic examination
revealed the patient was alert and oriented. Cranial nerves
II through XII were intact. The patient was moving all
extremities.
PERTINENT LABORATORY VALUES ON PRESENTATION: White blood
cell count was 19.6 (95% neutrophils, and 2% bands, and 2%
lymphocytes) and his hematocrit was 33.2. Chemistry-7 was
significant for a bicarbonate of 22, blood urea nitrogen of
37, and creatinine of 2.7 (which was increased from his
baseline of 1). Liver function tests were within normal
limits. His lactate on admission was elevated at 7.1.
Creatine kinase was 1022, MB was 12, MB index was 1.2, and
his troponin was 0.25. Urinalysis revealed moderate
leukocytes, greater than 50 white blood cells, and many
bacteria.
PERTINENT RADIOLOGY/IMAGING: A chest x-ray revealed
pacemaker leads. Right internal jugular in place. The lung
fields were clear.
An electrocardiogram revealed a paced rhythm at 92.
A computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis without
contrast revealed hydronephrosis, but no stones.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF HOSPITAL COURSE BY ISSUE/SYSTEM: The
patient was admitted to the [**Hospital Ward Name 332**] Intensive Care Unit for
aggressive monitoring on a sepsis protocol. When he had a
stable blood pressure and remained off pressors for greater
than 24 hours, and was otherwise stable, the patient was
transferred to the floor on [**2127-3-25**].
1. HYPOTENSION ISSUES: The patient's hypotension was likely
secondary to hypovolemia given his decreased oral intake and
diarrhea, and also sepsis from a urologic source. The
patient was continued on the sepsis protocol and was
initially started on Levophed and dobutamine through a right
internal jugular central venous catheter which had been
placed. The patient was eventually weaned from pressors and
had stable blood pressures after that. As the patient's
blood pressure had been stable for approximately 24 hours,
the patient was restarted on his home blood pressure
medications and tolerated these well.
2. INFECTIOUS DISEASE ISSUES: The patient with a urinary
tract infection and urosepsis. The patient was started on
levofloxacin and Flagyl awaiting further culture results.
The patient's urine cultures grew gram-negative rods, and he
was continued on levofloxacin with a plan for a 14-day
course. The patient's stool was sent for Clostridium
difficile and ova and parasites; these were negative. The
patient's diarrhea improved throughout his hospitalization.
The patient's diarrhea was likely due to a viral etiology.
3. CARDIOVASCULAR/CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE ISSUES: The
patient with a significant history of coronary artery
disease; however, patent grafts in [**2126**]. The patient had an
elevated troponin in the setting of acute renal failure. He
also had an elevated creatine kinase and MB. The patient
likely had a small episode of myocardial infarction secondary
to demand ischemia in the setting of hypotension. The
patient was continued on his aspirin and statin. His beta
blocker and angiotensin receptor blocker were added back as
his blood pressure tolerated.
The patient had an echocardiogram on [**3-25**] to assess for
possible focal wall motion abnormalities given the evidence
of a troponin leak and myocardial infarction. The patient's
ejection fraction remained at 60%. He had moderately dilated
left atrium and right atrium and 1+ mitral regurgitation,
which was not significantly changed from prior.
4. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE ISSUES: The patient had a previous
baseline creatinine of 0.9 to 1. The patient was admitted
with a creatinine of 2.7. This was likely secondary to
hypoperfusion as well as prerenal etiologies given the
diarrhea and continued diuretic regimen he had been on at
home. The patient's medications were originally renally
dosed. He was aggressively hydrated, and his creatinine
returned to baseline at the time of discharge.
5. ANEMIA ISSUES: The patient with a baseline hematocrit of
approximately 28 to 30. His hematocrit dropped from an
admission hematocrit of 33 down to 27. After hydration,
given the issue of potentially active cardiac ischemia, the
patient was transfused one unit of packed red blood cells to
a hematocrit of greater than 30. The patient again required
another transfusion of one unit during this admission. The
patient had no evidence for gastrointestinal bleeding as his
stools were guaiac-negative. This was again thought due to
dilution. The patient's hematocrit remained stable for two
days prior to discharge.
6. ENDOCRINE/TYPE 2 DIABETES ISSUES: The patient was
originally maintained on an insulin drip to maintain tight
glucose control. As the patient became increasingly stable,
he was transitioned to his home medications of NPH insulin
and a regular insulin sliding-scale.
7. RESPIRATORY/PULMONARY ISSUES: The patient was continued
on oxygen by nasal cannula on admission; however, this was
quickly weaned. The patient had no issues with congestive
heart failure during this admission, and he remained with
good oxygen saturations. The patient did have some episodes
of wheezing during this hospitalization which were relieved
with Combivent nebulizers. The patient was given a Combivent
inhaler to use at home as needed.
8. DISPOSITION ISSUES: Physical Therapy evaluated the
patient and deemed him safe for discharge to home with a home
safety evaluation.
CONDITION AT DISCHARGE: Stable.
DISCHARGE STATUS: To home.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Urosepsis, urinary tract infection.

2. Ativan 1 mg at hour of sleep as needed.
3. Aspirin 325 mg once per day.
4. Lipitor 20 mg once per day.
5. Valsartan 80 mg once per day.
6. NPH insulin increased to home dose gradually of 40 in
the morning and 34 in the evening with a regular insulin
sliding-scale.
7. Furosemide 80 mg twice per day.
8. Lopressor 37.5 mg twice per day.
9. Neurontin 300 mg twice per day.

CARDIAC CATH REPORT [**12-23**]:COMMENTS:Coronary angiography in this
right dominant system demonstrate three vessel disease. The
LMCA had no angiographic evidence of disease. The LAD had a
proximal 80% stenosis. The [**Month/Year (2) **] had a 90% instent restenosis
with an occluded OM. The RCA was occluded but filled from left
to right collaterals. Resting hemodynamic reveal transient
systemic hypotension that resolved after fluid resuscitation.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. CABG vs PCI of LAD and [**Last Name (LF) **], [**First Name3 (LF) **] be discussed with primary
cardiologist Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] and CT surgery.
CXR [**12-24**]: The heart is normal in size and lungs are
clear without vascular congestion or pleural effusion.
ECHO [**12-26**]:The left atrium is elongated. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses and cavity size are normal. There is mild regional
left ventricular systolic dysfunction with basal to mid inferior
and inferolateral hypokinesis (inferior wall worst affected)
There is no ventricular septal defect. 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) 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. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is a
trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade. Left Ventricle - Ejection
Fraction: 50% to 55%.
IMPRESSION: Regional LV systolic dysfunction consistent with CAD
(inferior ischemia/infarction). Mild mitral regurgitation. Trace
aortic regurgitation. EF 50-55%.

Brief Hospital Course:
59 y/o M with h/o CAD s/p PCI (DES in [**Month/Year (2) **], OM1, and LAD), DM,
and a heavy tobacco histroy who was transfered from an OSH for
NSTEMI and was found to have 80% proximal LAD lesion, 90% [**Month/Year (2) **] in
stent restenosis, and a fully occluded RCA with collaterals as
well as a fever and a possible LLL PNA.
.
# CAD: NSTEMI with Trop peaking of 2.17 at OSH now s/p cath
showing 80% proximal LAD lesion, 90% [**Month/Year (2) **] in stent restenosis,
and a fully occluded RCA with collaterals.
Patient was initially a candidate for CABG. He was started on a
heparin drip with goal PTT 60-100 3 hours after pulling arterial
sheath. We stopped simvastatin and start atorvastatin 80 mg PO
HS. He was briefly on a NTG drip for pain and to decrease
cardiac work. While in hospital, we changed home metoprolol
succinate 50 mg PO daily to metoprolol tartrate 25 mg PO daily
to decrease cardiac work and cycled his cardiac enzymes.
.
# PUMP: Initially presenting with some crackles on exam, JVD
elevated and mildly hypoxic, but he may have TR on exam and has
a heavy smoking history. His CXR was not particularly congested.
We continued lisinopril 2.5 mg PO daily to prevent remodelling.
.
# Diabetes: Per patient, now off hypoglycemics. a1c 7.2%.
.
# Fever: Febrile on admission and at OSH. CXR here concerning
for LLL PNA. He was given an empiric levofloxacin 750 mg PO
daily x 7 days for presumed CAP. BCx no growth. He also had a
low WBC count, but his workup for possible neutropenia was
negative and his WBC count rebounded prior to discharge: (WBC
2.6 on [**12-23**], and up to 4 on [**12-28**]).

arteries instead. This went well and you will need to be on
Aspirin and Plavix every day for at least one year and likely
longer. Do not stop taking Plavix and aspirin or miss [**First Name (Titles) 691**] [**Last Name (Titles) 4319**]
unless Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] tells you it is OK. Your left groin site had some
pain last night but there is no evidence of bleeding under the
skin this morning. You should watch the site for any new
bruising, bleeding or increasing pain. Call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] if you
notice this. No lifting more than 10 pounds for one week. No
baths or pools for one week. You can shower today.

Admission Date: [**2193-7-17**] Discharge Date: [**2193-8-5**]
Date of Birth: [**2193-7-17**] Sex: F
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: [**Known lastname 29633**] [**Known lastname **] is the former 2.585
kg product of a 33 [**3-14**] week gestation pregnancy born to a
30-year-old gravida 3, para 1 woman. Pregnancy was
complicated by complete previa and premature rupture of
Betamethasone. Prenatal screens, blood type A+, antibody
negative, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, RPR non
reactive, rubella immune, no group B strep status.
Obstetrical history is significant for a stillbirth in [**2190**]
at term due to a cord accident. The mother was treated prior
to this delivery with Ampicillin and Erythromycin. Infant
was born by cesarean section due to the known previa and
delivery, was given blow by oxygen. She developed mild
grunting, flaring and retracting. Apgars were 7 at one
minute and 8 at five minutes. She was admitted to the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for treatment of prematurity and
respiratory distress.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Upon admission to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, weight 2.585 kg, length 47.5 cm, head
circumference 31 cm. General, pink, active, non dysmorphic
female infant, well saturated and perfused on blow by O2.
Skin without lesions. HEENT: Anterior fontanel opened and
flat, sutures approximated, symmetric facial features,
positive red reflex bilaterally, palate intact. Chest,
coarse breath sounds, equal bilaterally, fair air movement.
Cardiovascular, regular rate and rhythm without murmurs,
normal S1 and S2, femoral pulses +2. Abdomen benign. Hips
negative. Spine intact, normal preterm female genitalia.
Neuro, non focal and age appropriate exam.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Respiratory: Shortly after admission [**Known lastname 29633**] was placed
on nasopharyngeal, continuous positive airway pressure. She
required the continuous positive airway pressure for the
first two days of life. In retrospect this was more likely
prolonged retained fetal lung fluid (due to cesarean) than to
RDS. She then transitioned to room air and remained in room air
through the rest of her neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission.
She was monitored for apnea of prematurity and had several
episodes with her last being on [**2193-7-30**]. She has not had any
episodes for the last five days prior to discharge.
2. Cardiovascular: [**Known lastname 29633**] has maintained normal heart rates
and blood pressures during admission. She had some
bradycardia associated with her apneic episodes. At the time
of discharge her heart rates are in the 140's to 160's.
3. Fluids, Electrolytes & Nutrition: [**Known lastname 29633**] was initially
npo and maintained on intravenous fluids. Enteral feeds were
started on day of life #1 and gradually advanced to full
volume. She received breast milk supplemented at 24
calories. At the time of discharge she is breast feeding ad
lib or taking expressed mother's milk 20 calories per oz.
Weight on the day of discharge is 2.625 kg with a length of
48.5 cm and a head circumference of 31.5 cm. Serum
electrolytes were checked once in the first week of life and
were within normal limits.
4. Infectious Disease: Due to the prolonged rupture of
membranes and prematurity, [**Known lastname 29633**] was evaluated for sepsis at
the time of admission. A complete blood count had a white
count of 17,400 with 28% polys, 1% bands. A blood culture
was obtained prior to starting intravenous Ampicillin and
Gentamycin. The initial blood culture was no growth at 48
hours. On day of life #3 she was noted to have a reddened
periumbilical area, a blood count was repeated and a second
blood culture was obtained. The second CBC had a white count
of 13,200 with 39% polys, 5% bands and the blood culture grew
gram positive cocci identified as staphylococcal epidermis.
She was treated with Oxacillin and Gentamycin for three days,
then changed to Vancomycin for the last two days of a five
day course. The repeat blood culture (#3) was no growth.
Antibiotics were discontinued after the five day course for
the omphalitis. The Steph epidermitis in culture #2 was
considered a contaminant. For safety, a lumbar puncture was
performed showing one red cells, two white cells, normal glucose
and protein. The CSF culture was no growth.
5. Hematological: Hematocrit at birth was 56.1%, most
recent hematocrit was on [**2193-7-22**] and was 57.5%. [**Known lastname 29633**] did
not receive any transfusions of blood products. She is being
discharged home on supplemental iron.
6. Gastrointestinal: [**Known lastname 29633**] was treated for unconjugated
hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy. Her peak serum
bilirubin occurred on day of life #3 with a total of 12.3
mg/dl over 0.4 direct. She received 48 hours of
phototherapy. Rebound bilirubin on [**2193-7-23**] was 7.2 total
over 0.2 direct. [**Known lastname 29633**] did have some heme occult test
positive stools and was noted to have a rectal fissure.
7. Neurological: [**Known lastname 29633**] has maintained a normal
neurological exam throughout admission and there were no
neurological concerns at the time of discharge.
8. Sensory: Hearing screening was performed with automated
auditory brain stem responses. [**Known lastname 29633**] passed in both ears.
9. Psychosocial: [**Hospital1 69**]
social worker was involved with this family. Contact social
worker is [**Name (NI) 4457**] [**Name (NI) 36244**]. She can be reached at
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 8717**].
10. Skin: [**Known lastname 29633**] had a mild monilial diaper rash that was
treated with miconazole powder. It had resolved by the time of
discharge.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISCHARGE DISPOSITION: Home with parents. Primary
pediatrician is Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 42874**], [**Hospital **] [**Hospital6 2399**], [**Location (un) 42875**], [**Location (un) 1456**], [**Numeric Identifier 42876**],
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 42877**], Fax #[**Telephone/Fax (1) 42878**].
CARE & RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Feeding: Ad lib breast feeding or expressed breast milk.
2. Medications: Fer-In-[**Male First Name (un) **] 25 mg per ml dilution, 0.3 cc po
q d, Poly-Vi-[**Male First Name (un) **] 1 cc po q d.
3. Car seat position screening was performed with adequate
oximetry saturation monitored for 90 minutes.
4. State newborn screening status was sent on day of life #3
and at discharge. No notification of abnormal results to
date.
5. Hepatitis B vaccine was administered on [**2193-7-23**].
6. Immunizations recommended: Synagis RSV prophylaxis should
be considered from [**Month (only) 359**] through [**Month (only) 547**] for those infants
who meet any of the following three criteria: 1) Born at less
than 32 weeks; 2) Born between 32 and 35 weeks with plans for
DayCare during RSV season, with a smoker in the household, or
with preschool siblings; or 3) with chronic lung disease.
Influenza immunization should be considered annually in the
Fall for preterm infants with chronic lung disease once they
reach 6 months of age. Before this age, the family and other
caregivers should be considered for immunization against
influenza to protect the infant.
7. Follow-up appointments: The [**Hospital6 407**]
will be following up at home. Primary pediatrician
appointment within one week of discharge.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Prematurity at 33 3/7 weeks gestation.
2. Transitional respiratory distress/retained fetal lung fluid.
3. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
4. Suspicion for perinatal sepsis ruled out.
5. Staphylococcal epidermis--presumed as contaminant.
6. Omphalitis, treated for 5 days with antibiotics.
7. Apnea of prematurity, resolved.

recent hospitalization for SIRS [**2189-11-20**] - [**2189-11-30**] without
obvious source of sepsis presenting from [**Hospital6 **] with
severe chest pain. He said that this chest pain started 8pm last
night, right-sided, non-pleuritic, continuous, sharp, [**7-6**]. He
was initially brought to [**Hospital6 33**] with SOB and
hypotension to 70/50 with CXR showing pneumonia. He was
subsequently transferred to [**Hospital1 **].
.
In the ED, initial vs were: 96 90 124/70 19 100% NRB (which was
weaned down to 97% NC 2-3L. His chest pain had resolved by the
time of arrival, and pressure initially in the low 100s before

Family History:
Notable for MI; Both parents lived to be > [**Age over 90 **] years old.
Physical Exam:
Patient expired during this hospitalization. He was without
heart sounds, without breath sounds, without spontaneous
movement and without corneal reflex at the time of death at
12:20pm [**2189-12-10**].
Pertinent Results:
[**12-8**] Abd ultrasound
1. No evidence of portal vein thrombosis.
2. There is grossly heterogeneous echotexture of the hepatic
parenchyma with [**Month/Year (2) **] architecture related to the patient's
history of cirrhosis. 3. There is a questionable hypoechoic area
in the right lobe of the liver. A liver lesion cannot be
completely ruled out in that area given the limited quality of
this portable U/S study.
4. Moderate amount of ascites and a right moderate pleural
effusion.
[**12-7**] Echo
Suboptimal image quality. Moderate pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. Mildly dilated right ventricular cavity with low
normal systolic function. Mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with preserved global and regional systolic
function. Trivial pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior
study (images reviewed) of [**2189-11-25**], the right ventricular
cavity is now slightly dilated with low normal systolic function
and the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is higher.
This constellation of findings is suggestive of a primary
pulmonary process (e.g., pulmonary embolism, etc.)

Brief Hospital Course:
75 yo M hx CAD s/p recent NSTEMI, a. fib not on Coumadin, and
recent hospitalization for SIRS now with pneumonia on CXR and
hypotension. In the MICU patient with worsening renal failure,
encephalopathy, without clear source of infection. Medical team
spoke with family, and the decision was made to make the patient
CMO.
.
# Altered Mental Status: Patient had progressive decline of
mental status throughout admission, and the etiology was
multifactorial likely include hepatic encephalopathy, ICU
delirium, and infection. Patient was initially put on lactulose
and zyprexa. His sleep wake cycle was normalized.
.
# Hypotension/tachycardia/hypothermia: Unclear etiology, and
likely related with SIRS. No clear source identified throughout
work up. Patient was initially covered with broad spectrum
antibiotics with early goal directed therapy. Cultures were
persistently negative. He also underwent pituitary and more
central workup - the cortical stim was somewhat abnormal, but
other findings were negative. He remained on pressors and was
taken off when the decision was made to make him CMO.
.
# Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease: Crt to 3.2 without clear
etiology. Urine with increase in whites/red blood cells. Most
likely related to relative hypotension. Started HRS therapy
yesterday without improvement.
.
# SBP. Repeat diagnostic para with 4 white blood cells. This was
initially suspected as a possible source of the patient's
infection as initial diagnostic para was borderline positive. It
was not consistent with the patient's presenting symptoms,
however. Patient was initially covered by antibiotics for
treatment.
.
# Right pleural effusion. Patient had a chronic right pleural
effusion, but could not lower out a right lower lobe pneumonia.
Etiology of the effusion likely to be hydrothorax, however.
Patient was covered with antibiotic treatment.
.
# Chest pain/recent NSTEMI. Chest pain had resolved. Enzymes
flat. No EKG Changes.
.
# End stage liver disease. Labeled crytogenic but patient with
previous heavy alcohol use.
.
# Pancytopenia. Thrombocytopenia likely [**12-29**] liver disease.
Platelets stable. HIV negative.

Service: CCU
REASON FOR ADMISSION: Reason for transfer from an outside
hospital was for further treatment of severe congestive heart
failure.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 68-year-old
woman with a history of coronary artery disease (status post
myocardial infarction in [**2161**] and status post right coronary
artery stent), rheumatic heart disease (with 2 to 3+ mitral
regurgitation, moderate mitral stenosis with a valve area of
0.9 cm2 and a gradient of 11 mmHg), congestive heart failure
(with an ejection fraction of 20% to 25%), atrial
fibrillation (status post biventricular pacemaker placement
but not cardioverted due to left atrial clot seen on
[**2167-7-19**] and [**2167-9-18**] transesophageal
echocardiograms). The patient also had a chronic right
pleural effusion (status post therapeutic thoracentesis) in
the recent past and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (on home oxygen).
She presented to an outside hospital with weakness,
hemoptysis with dime-size clots, and worsening dyspnea on
exertion. The initially impression at the outside hospital
was that she was in decompensated congestive heart failure
and was given Lasix as well as antibiotics for a possible
pneumonia. Her Coumadin was held as her INR was
supracervical at 4.7. She was diuresed with Lasix and was
becoming hypotensive. She was started on dopamine and
dobutamine and transferred to the [**Hospital1 190**] for further management.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular ejection fraction
of 25%, severe mitral regurgitation, and mitral stenosis
secondary to rheumatic fever.
2. Coronary artery disease; status post myocardial
infarction in [**2161**] and status post right coronary artery
stent, atrial fibrillation (on Coumadin).
3. Cerebrovascular accident in [**2167-7-19**] with
subsequent left-sided weakness.
4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic right
lower lobe infiltrate (on home oxygen).
ALLERGIES: Allergies include AMOXICILLIN.
MEDICATIONS ON TRANSFER: Medications at the time of transfer
included aspirin, Ambien, multivitamin, Lipitor, digoxin
0.125 mg p.o. q.d., captopril 12.5 mg p.o. t.i.d.,
spironolactone 25 mg p.o. q.d., Lasix 120 mg p.o. b.i.d.,
Carvedilol 3.125; Coumadin was held.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Social history was not obtainable.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON PRESENTATION: Examination on
admission revealed the patient was afebrile with a
temperature of 97.4, heart rate was 104, blood pressure
ranged from 96 to 108/62 to 70, respiratory rate was 35. In
general, she appeared uncomfortable and was tachypneic. She
had mild scleral icterus. Her lungs had decreased breath
sounds; particularly at the right base, with dullness to
percussion and diffuse rales. Her heart examination revealed
normal first heart sound and second heart sound with a 2/6
systolic ejection murmur with a diastolic soft component.
Her abdomen was soft and nontender. Her liver was palpable
approximately 8 cm below the right costal margin. Her
extremities had 1 to 2+ peripheral edema with dopplerable
pulses bilaterally.
PERTINENT LABORATORY DATA ON PRESENTATION: Laboratories at
the time of admission revealed white blood cell count was
15.1, hematocrit was 39.3, and platelets were 262. INR was
4.6. Chemistry-7 was unremarkable except for a bicarbonate
of 19, a blood urea nitrogen of 22, and creatinine of 1. INR
was repeated at the time of arrival which was 3.4.
HOSPITAL COURSE: CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: On the morning
following admission, the patient was found to be in worsening
respiratory distress using multiple accessory muscles for
respiration and was found to be tiring. She was again asked
if she wanted to be intubated, and she responded in the
affirmative. Anesthesia was called, and the patient was
electively intubated and placed on ventilator.
Shortly thereafter she had a Swan-Ganz catheter placed which
showed elevated filling pressures with pulmonary artery
filling pressures of 60/35, and a wedge pressure of 30.
Using these numbers, she was diuresed accordingly with
intravenous Lasix. She was tried on multiple combinations of
pressors including dopamine, dobutamine, Milrinone, and
Natrecor; none of which effectively increased her renal
perfusion and urine output nor her cardiac output and index.
On [**2167-10-26**], she became febrile; spiking temperatures
up to 102. Her white blood cell count was increasing;
reaching a peak of 29. Cultures were sent including sputum,
blood cultures, and urine cultures. Sputum cultures
ultimately grew out Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa. The urine cultures had gram-negative rods which
were not yet typed at the time of this dictation. The
patient developed septic physiology with a transient increase
in her cardiac output and a decrease in her systemic vascular
resistance. She was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics
and continued on pressors.
Her liver function tests continued to climb with her
transaminases reaching near 200, and her total bilirubin
reaching a peak of 8.2. The patient's skin became further
jaundiced, and a right upper quadrant ultrasound had been
ordered to evaluate for acute cholecystitis as gallstones had
been seen on ultrasounds from the prior hospitalization. The
right upper quadrant ultrasound was actually never performed.
On [**2167-10-26**], the patient's right pleural effusion was
tapped; removing 1400 cc of cloudy pleural fluid. The
cultures from the fluid grew no organisms, and this appeared
to be exudative; likely a parapneumonic effusion. By this
time, her pressors were changed to Levophed and Vasopressin
to maintain blood pressures.
On [**2167-10-28**], the Coronary Care Unit resident had a
long conversation with the patient's family regarding
prognosis and possible quality of life following this
hospitalization. If the patient were ever to be extubated,
it was decided at that time that her prognosis was very poor
and hope for a quality of life equal to what she had prior to
admission was unlikely.
The family decided at that time to make the patient do not
resuscitate/do not intubate status; specifically, treating as
comfort measures only. Antibiotic and pressor support were
withdrawn after morphine constant infusion was initiated, and
there was every assurance that the patient was comfortable.
She expired on [**2167-10-29**] at 8:38 a.m. The patient
family was notified and declined postmortem evaluation.

Admission Date: [**2190-12-10**] Discharge Date: [**2190-12-17**]
Service: Orthoepdic Surgery
DISCHARGE STATUS: The patient is deceased.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ms. [**Known firstname **] [**Known lastname 16343**] is a 96-year old
female patient who presented from her rehab with an injury to
her left lower extremity. She had recently undergone an open
reduction and internal fixation for a hip fracture in [**2190-7-26**], and she was now at the rehab undergoing physical
therapy with good result. However, she was in the bathroom
trying to get up from the toilet and she fell sustaining a
fracture to her distal left femur. The patient denied any
dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, headache,
diaphoresis, chest pain or palpitations. She was found to have
a complex distal femoral fracture and a hematocrit of 24 in
the emergency room.
She was admitted to the medical service for medical
assessment and preoperative workup towards surgical
management. She was consulted by the orthopaedic surgery
service, and she was transfused 2 units of packed red blood
cells and was given a stress dose of steroids for her hx of
adrenal insuffiency.
adrenal insufficiency.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Mrs. [**Known firstname **] [**Known lastname 16343**] has a very complex past
medical history. She has a history of coronary artery
disease, and has had a myocardial infarction in [**2144**] and
[**2185**]. She also has significant aortic stenosis with an
ejection fraction of 55%. She has a pacemaker for sick sinus
syndrome. She has hypertension. She has atrial fibrillation
and has required cardioversion. She is diabetic. She has
sleep apnea. She has anemia, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis,
gastroesophageal reflux, osteoporosis, primary pulmonary
hypertension and recently underwent a hip fracture.
She also has a hx of adrenal insufficency.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Includes a cholecystectomy, pacemaker
placement, hysterectomy, and open reduction and internal
fixation of her left hip fracture.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Include aspirin, atenolol,
Atacand, Prilosec, glyburide, Avandia, insulin, Lasix,
Zoloft, Neurontin, Vicodin, Colace, senna,
simethicone, Tylenol, Maalox, enemas, Tums, multivitamins.
ALLERGIES: She is allergic to SULFONAMIDES, IODINE,
PROCAINAMIDE and AMIODARONE.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Initial orthopaedic physical
examination focused on her left lower extremity, which had a
closed fracture of the distal femur. Small ecchymosis noticed on
anterior thigh. She had a swollen thigh but was soft with
significant
pitting edema. Her extremities appeared to be well perfused
and appeared to be sensory intact. She had no other
orthopaedic injuries. Assessment for additional physical exam
yielded a regular heart rate, a soft abdomen, a supple neck.
She was clear to auscultation bilaterally bu had reduced breath
sounds at the lower base. Her extremities showed 1+ radial
pulses bilaterally in upper extremities, and dorsalis pedis
pulses were noted by Doppler. She was alert and oriented.
Cranial nerves were grossly intact. Had decreased sensation
distally in her lower extremities
bilaterally but appeared to be sensate when assesed by light
touch.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted to the medical
service, and a preoperative workup was performed including a
geriatric service consultation who deemed her to be
at high risk for the OR given her moderate aortic stenosis.
Discussion with the family yielded a request for full code
and for addressing the fracture surgically in order to
facilitate mobilization. The patient was stabilized
overnight, transfused, rehydrated and was able to undergo
surgical repair of her femoral fracture with [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 101**] plate on
the 17th. The surgical repair went uneventfully, and the
patient was taken to the post anesthesia care unit. However,
she had difficulty after extubation requiring her to be
reintubated. She also had difficulty sustaining her blood
pressure requiring pressors. She was admitted to the medical
ICU on the 18th. She required an additional transfusion. On
her first medical ICU day, she failed a second attempt at
weaning her off the ventilator. She was able to be extubated
on [**12-13**]. At that point, some evidence of acute renal
failure was also resolving; and she improved to the point
where she was ready to be transferred back to the regular
floor for further nursing and postoperative care. She was
transferred to the floor on [**12-13**].
On the evening of [**2190-12-14**] a trigger event was
called because the patient was noted to be hypotensive with
a systolic pressure of 86. Initial floor management consisted
of normal saline infusion without improvement requiring [**Hospital **]
transfer to the intensive care unit at that time. The patient
went in the ICU where she was found to have persistent
hypotension. There was no evidence of septic or distributive
shock. Her hematocrit was 32. Her ABGs showed a pH of 7.26; a
lactate of 0.8; and she responded to a liter of
normal saline. The patient remained extubated and breathing
spontaneously.
By [**12-16**], the patient remained in the ICU. Her
hypotension had stabilized. She had evidence of poor
peripheral vasoconstriction. She remained extubated and
breathing spontaneously, but with some worsening shortness of
breath. This had responded initially to diuresis, but at this
point diuresis was held secondary to peripheral
vasoconstriction. The patient remained full code at this
point. Due to a rising creatinine, a renal consult was
obtained for management of renal failure. Diuresis was
recommended with an increase of the Lasix dosage.
The patient's respiratory status, however, decompensated on
the evening of [**2190-12-17**] requiring an urgent
intubation. She also became hypotensive and required using
pressors as well in the form of Levophed. On the early
morning of [**12-17**], the son was [**Name (NI) 653**] by the medical
service who expressed the patient's desires not to be
persistently intubated. The patient subsequently was made
comfort care measures only and expired on [**2190-12-17**].

[**2151-11-17**] Cardiac Catheterization:
1. Coronary angiography in this right dominant system revealed
no angiographically apparent coronary artery disease in the
LMCA, LAD, LCx, and RCA (although coronaries could not be well
opacified due to severe aortic regurgitation).
2. Resting hemodynamics revealed markedly elevated left and
right sided filling pressures with mean PCW of 21 mmHg and RVEDP
of 25 mmHg. There was severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
with PASP of 66 mmHg. The cardiac index was preserved at 3.2
L/min/m2. There was normal systemic arterial pressure with SBP
of 114 mmHg and DBP of 56 mmHg. There was a left-to right shunt
with oxygen step-up at RV flow and a possible fistula from sinus
of Valsalva to RV demonstrated by selective injection and
supravalvular aortography.
[**2151-11-17**] TEE:
Right ventricular systolic function is normal. Overall left
ventricular function is normal. The ascending, transverse and
descending thoracic aorta are normal in diameter and free of
atherosclerotic plaque to 45 cm from the incisors. There are
three aortic valve leaflets. There is a moderate to large sized
vegetation on the aortic valve involving the right and
non-coronary cusps. The vegetation measures 0.4cm x 1.5cm. The
left coronary cusp is moderately thickened. There is no aortic
root abcess cavity seen. Severe (4+) aortic regurgitation is
seen with reversal of flow in the descending thoracic aorta.
There is prominent color flow in the area of the right coronary
cusp which may represent a sinus of valsalva fistula (aortic
root to RA/RVOT). The mitral valve leaflets are structurally
normal. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no
pericardial effusion.
[**2151-11-18**] Abdominal CT Scan:
1. No retroperitoneal hematoma.
2. Right upper quadrant pericolonic and peripancreatic
induration at least some of which may be secondary to known
previous procedures. This may represent recurrent or acute
pancreatitis and as patient cannot receive contrast, MRI may
also be informative. Note also higher density contents of right
colon (question intraluminal blood) compared to the remainder
bowel. Is patient guaiac positive?
3. Persistent contrast opacification kidneys, now greater than
24 hours past contrast administration indicative of ATN. Note
additional density abnormality right lateral kidney. ?is this
site of patient's previous known RF ablation for renal cell
cancer?
4. Small amount of free intraperitoneal fluid and
small-to-moderate size right pleural effusion, neither of which
measure blood density.
5. Mildly enlarged spleen.
6. Diverticulosis.
[**2151-11-21**] Chest/Abdominal CT Scan:
1. Large areas of consolidation seen within the lungs
bilaterally, with air bronchograms, concerning for infection.
2. New diffuse patchy ground-glass airspace opacities seen
bilaterally, right greater than the left. 3. No evidence of
retroperitoneal hematoma. Small amount of nonspecific free fluid
in pelvis. Stranding in pelvic soft tissues possibly represent
small amount of interstitial hemorrhage.
4. Post-operative changes seen within the chest, with multiple
lines and tubes. Pneumomediastinum and small bilateral
pneumothoraces seen, consistent with post-operative changes.
[**2151-11-22**] TTE:
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal
(LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. The aortic valve appears to be a homograft. The
aortic valve prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet
motion and transvalvular gradients. No aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial
mitral regurgitation. There is moderate pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension.

DR. [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) 3347**] [**Initial (NamePattern1) **]. [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 5034**]
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 76674**] was admitted and underwent cardiac catheterization
and transesophageal echocardiogram which confirmed aortic valve
endocarditis, severe aortic insufficiency and a sinus of
Valsalva fistula. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary
arteries. His creatinine on admission was noted to be 1.8. He
remained on intravenous Ceftriaxone per ID recommendations.
Based on the above, cardiac surgery was consulted and further
evaluation was performed. He was cleared for surgery by dental,
but will require extractions after he recovers from surgery. His
acute renal insufficiency was attributed to hypoperfusion given
his severe aortic insufficiency. He was also noted to be anemic
which required several blood transfusions. An abdominal CT scan
was performed which ruled out a retroperitoneal bleed. He
otherwise remained stable on medical therapy and was eventually
cleared for surgery.
On [**11-19**], Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] performed a Bentall procedure with a
homograft along with repair of sinus of Valsalva fistula. Given
that his hospital stay was greater than 24 hours prior to
surgery, he was given Vancomycin for perioperative coverage. For
surgical details, please see seperate dictated operative note.
Following the operation, he was brought to the CVICU for
invasive monitoring. Within 24 hours, he awoke neurologically
intact and was extubated. He remained anemic and continued to
require intermittent blood transfusions. There was no evidence
of active bleeding. Following extubation, he experienced poor
oxygenation along with some hemoptysis. Chest x-rays were
notable for extensive bilateral consolidations and bilateral
pleural effusions. Right sided chest tube was placed and
diagnostic/therapeutic bronchoscopy was performed. Blood tinged
secretions were noted in the lower lobes along with an occlued
right middle lobe by mucosal edema. Bronchoalveolar lavage was
performed and sent for culture. Antibiotic coverage was
temporarily broadend for nosocomial pneumonia. Cultures
eventually grew out MRSA and antibiotics were titrated
accordingly per ID recommendations. Over several days, his
oxygenation gradually improved. All chest tubes were eventually
removed without complication. Since the operation, he was noted
to have complete heart block and remained entirely pacer
dependent. The EP service was consulted and recommended
permananent pacemaker which was successfully placed on [**11-24**] without complication. He continued to make clinical
improvements and eventually transferred to the SDU for further
care and recovery. His renal function normalized, and he

Brief Hospital Course:
Neurology and neurosurgery were consulted regarding the
possibility of C1 fracture seen on Cspine CT at OSH. Repeat Ct
showed nonunion of previous C1 fracture involving the anterior
and posterior arches. Per neuro reccs a methylprednisolone drip
was started and pt was kept in a hard collar. A MRI of the C
spine was obtained. Pt was intubated [**1-29**] agitation during MRI.
The study showed elevated T2 signal at C3-C4 interspace c/w
acute v chronic injury. After this read at neurosurgery's
recommendation the methylprednisolone drip was stopped and pt
was transferred to the floor from the TSICU. Neurosurgery
recommended the pt remain CSI x 6 weeks and f/u with them for
repeat imaging for 4 weeks.
Neurology was consulted when the pt developed tingling
sensations along his L side. They recommended performing a MRI
of the brain, which was normal. The pt's symptoms improved and
Neurology will continue to follow the pt as an outpatient.
Physical therapy consulted on the pt and felt he was unsafe to
return home [**1-29**] his chronic R hemiparesis. The pt insisted that
he was safe at home. Therefore, PT evaluated him with all of his
home equipment. He continued to show an inability to function at
home s difficulty. Therefore, the pt agreed to go to rehab for
further therapy. A bed was arranged and the pt was transferred
to rehab in improved condition.

CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of [**2136-3-28**] 9:20 AM
The fundic balloon of the [**Last Name (un) **] device is grossly unchanged.
ET tube is in standard position. Right IJ catheter tip is in the
upper right atrium. Cardiomegaly is stable. Small bilateral
pleural effusions are unchanged. Large bibasilar atelectases
have improved, still larger on the left. There is vascular
congestion. There is no pneumothorax.
.
EGD:
Prior to the procedure the gastric balloon was fully deflated
and the [**Last Name (un) 10045**] tube was removed. Numerous cords of grade III
esophageal varices were seen with high risk features consistent
with recent bleeding. In the mid esophagus there were also
multiple cords of grade III varices and some areas of ulceration
possibly from pressure related to the [**Last Name (un) 10045**] tube. There
continued to be a large amount of blood at the GE junction, some
appearing fresh, some appearing old. Multiple attempts at
banding were made, a total of five bands were fired.
Approximately 3 varices could be visualized banded. One band
misfired and the other could not be visualized thorugh the
blood. Given that the portal hypertension is irreversable and
being unable to stop the bleeding. The procedure was completed
and a long discussion was had with the family and ICU team
regarding how to plan next. As per the family discussion prior
to the procedure, the [**Last Name (un) 10045**] was not placed back.
Stomach:
Other Blood was noted throughout the stomach. The Antrum had
minimal blood in it. The fundus could not be cleared due to
thick clotted blood.
Duodenum: Not examined.
Impression: Blood was noted throughout the stomach. The Antrum
had minimal blood in it. The fundus could not be cleared due to
thick clotted blood.
Otherwise normal EGD to pylorus
Recommendations: Continue care per MICU team

presenting with hematemesis.
.
# UGIB: Mr. [**Known lastname **] had an NGL at an OSH which showed BRB,
consistent with hematesmis as the source of his bleeding. An
initial EGD by GI revealed variceal bleeding. The patient
required intubation because he was difficult to sedate, as well
as for airway protection during the porcedure. EGD after
intubation showed massive bleeding and banding could not be
performed. There was concern for perforation due to severe
abdominal rigidity during procedure, but no free air on imaging
s/p procedure. [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] was placed, and the patient was made
CPR not indicated. Initially, he had received 2L NS, 8 units
pRBCs, and calcium. his HCT trended up from 27 to 37.8 after 6
units, but his UOP remained low. He was in sinus tachycardia in
the 120s his night of admission, but BP remained in the 110s. He
was also placed on a PPI and octreotide gtt, and given CTX for
infection prophylaxis in he setting of GI bleed and cirrhosis.
The next day, a repeat EGD was performed, which showed numerous
cords of grade III esophageal varices, with high risk features
consistent with recent bleeding. In the mid esophagus there were
also multiple cords of grade III varices and some areas of
ulceration possibly from pressure related to the [**Last Name (un) 10045**] tube.
There continued to be a large amount of blood at the GE
junction, some appearing fresh, some appearing old. Multiple
attempts at banding were made, a total of five bands were fired.
Approximately 3 varices could be visualized banded. One band
misfired and the other could not be visualized thorugh the
blood. Given that the portal hypertension is irreversable and
being unable to stop the bleeding. The procedure was completed
and a long discussion was had with the family and ICU team
regarding how to plan next. As per the family discussion prior
to the procedure, the [**Last Name (un) 10045**] was not placed back. The
discussion with the family also inovlved how to keep the patient
as comfortable as possible. His Octreotide was DC'ed, but he was
placed on Nadolol 10 mg PO DAILY in order to try to prevent new
variceal bleeding that would cause an upsetting hematemesis.
Pallative care was consulted, and recommended 1-2mg of Dilaudid
q1h PRN pain and Ativan 1-2mg q1h PRN anxiety/respiratory
distress. These medications were switched to PO once pt
stabilized.
# Metastatic HCC/HBV: S/p rupture in [**2127**] followed by RFA and
excision but with recurrence and spread- large right exophytic
segment VI lesion, infiltration of liver, adrenal metastasis,
and portal vein thrombosis. Just completed inteferon alpha 2b
and 5FU and plan for doxorubicin and cisplatin next week per
oncology. Last HBV viral load on [**2136-2-22**] was undectable. Given
CMO status, no further plans for oncologic care.
# Cirrhosis: Mild hyponatremia at OSH and ascites on CT, with
possible portal gastropathy/varices given UGIB. No
encephelopathy. He was initally treated with CTX 1 g daily for
prophylaxis, but this was subsequently DC'ed.
# Hyponatremia: Initially had been trended, improved from Na
131 at OSH to 138 at last check here. Further lab draws were not
performed given CMO status
# Diabetes mellitus: Holding home medications given CMO
# Hypertension: Holding home medications given CMO

EKG:
In the ED:
Atrial pacing. Twave inversions in V2-V4, Twave flattening in
V5, V6, I, aVL. Prolonged QTc (471).
Compared to prior EKG from [**2170-5-11**]: A-V paced rhythm w left
axis, wide QRS.
Prior EKG from [**11-17**]: Ectopic atrial rhythm w normal axis; the
precordial Twave inversions and lateral flattening are not
present.
CXR [**2171-9-14**]: No acute cardiopulmonary abnormality.
TTE [**2171-9-16**]:
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size.
There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal
cavity size. There is mild to moderate regional left ventricular
systolic dysfunction with severe hypo/akinesis of the distal
half of the anterior septum and anterior wall. The apex is
mildly dyskinetic. The remaining segments contract normally
(LVEF = 30-35 %). No masses or thrombi are seen in the left
ventricle. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened
but aortic stenosis is not present. Trace aortic regurgitation
is seen. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse.
The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined.
There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2166-7-23**], new regional left ventricular systolic
function is now present c/w interim infarction/ischemia.
Cardiac cath [**2171-9-16**]:
1. Selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system
revealed
3 vessel CAD. The LMCA was large, ectatic, with mild disease.
The
proximal LAD was large, ectatic with mild disease. The mid LAD
was
heavily calcified and subtotally occluded, with serial 80-90%
stenosis
more distally. The distal LAD had a 50% stenosis and apical LAD
had an
80% stenosis. The D1 had a 50% origin stenosis. D2 had a 50%
origin
stenosis. THe LCX was a small caliber (2mm) diffusely diseased
vessel
with an 80% origin stenosis but supplied very little LV. The RCA
had an
upward takeoff with a mid-vessel 20% ISR and more diffuse
disease
distally. The RPDA had serial 50% stenoses.
2. Successful PTCA and stenting of the mid LAD with a 3.0 x 24mm
Driver
bare metal stent and POBA of the distal LAD with a 2.5 x 20 NC
[**First Name5 (NamePattern1) **]
[**Last Name (NamePattern1) 108633**]. Final angiography revealed no residual stenosis in the
stent, no
angiographically apparent dissection, and TIMI 3 flow. (see PTCA
comments for details.)
3. Resting hemodynamics demonstrated systemic arterial
hypertension
(153/65 mmHg), mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (38/19/26
mmHg),
and mildly elevated right and left sided filling pressures (mean
RAP
11mmHg, RVEDP 13 mmHg, mean PCWP 13 mmHg). Cardiac index was
severely
depressed (1.6 L/min/m2).
4. Left ventriculography was deferred.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Three vessel coronary artery disease.
2. Moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
3. Successful PTCA and stenting of the mid LAD and POBA of the
distal LAD.
4. Mild left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
5. Mild pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Non-contrast CT pelvis [**2171-9-20**]:
Small hematoma in the right proximal thigh anteriorly but no
evidence of lower abdominal or pelvic retroperitoneal hematoma.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 6164**] is an 86yo woman with known CAD who was admitted for
NSTEMI.
# NSTEMI->STEMI:
Ms. [**Known lastname 6164**] presented to the hospital after having six hours of
substernal chest pressure which had resolved on its own. Her
cardiac enzymes were elevated and peaked with a troponin-T of
1.9. She presented with T-wave inversions in V2-V4 and Twave
flattening in V5-V6 on EKG; serial EKGs showed impressive T-wave
changes, deepening T-waves in V1-V6 with no ST depressions or
elevations.
She was being treated with IV heparin while awaiting cardiac
catheterization when she was noted to have marked ST elevations
on telemetry. When prompted, she endorsed recurrence of her
chest pain and she was sent for emergent cardiac catheterization
and transferred to the cardiology ICU. Catheterization revealed
3 vessel disease with subtotal 80-90% occlusion of her mid LAD.
She received a bare metal stent to mid LAD and angioplasty of
distal LAD.
Echocardiogram showed EF 30-35%. She was discharged on ASA,
plavix, beta blocker, statin, and [**Last Name (un) **].
# Anemia:
Patient's hematocrit dropped from 40->28 in the course of her
hospitalization. This occurred in the setting of
catheterization and volume resuscitation. Over the last 3 days
of her hospitalization, her hematocrit remained stable.
Nevertheless, a CT pelvis was obtained and did not show evidence
of retroperitoneal bleed or significant hematoma.
# Acute on chronic systolic heart failure:
Shortly after her cardiac cath, Ms. [**Known lastname 6164**] had low blood
pressures and low urine output. This was felt to be due to
volume loss/blood loss with decreased systolic function. She
improved with IV fluids. However, several days later she became
somewhat volume overloaded on exam and required some gentle IV
diuresis. She is not being discharged on lasix, but her volume
status should be monitored as an outpatient.
# Abdominal tenderness:
Significant reflux disease with very tender abdomen. Patient
reported that this was a chronic issue. She was given
ranitidine to treat GERD as PPIs should be avoided while she is
on plavix.
# HTN:
Nifedipine was stopped and olmesartan was changed to losartan.
Her metoprolol dose was decreased. Please refer to discharge
med list.
# Hyperlipidemia: Increased simvastatin.
# S/p thyroid thyroidectomy, Glaucoma, Asthma, h/o PPM for
complete heart block, Depression:
Not active during her stay. Her home meds were continued.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 7611**] was admitted after undergoing an exploratory
laparotomy, supracervical hysterectomy with bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, sigmoid resection with
rectal anastomosis, repair of cystotomy and tumor debulking for
a pelvic mass previously visualized on CT. Prior to her surgery,
an epidural was placed by anesthesia for post-operative pain
management. Her post-operative course was complicated by
hypotension, right ventricular hypokinesis, NSTEMI, a-fib,
anemia and oxygen desaturation. She was admitted to the ICU on
post-op day four for management of post-operative a-fib.
# Hypotension: On post op day one and two, the patient was
hypotensive to the 80s/40s. There was no evidence of acute
blood loss as her HCT remained stable post-operatively. Her
urine output was adequate. An epidural was in place for pain
control. Her SBP was maintained > 90 with aggressive fluid
management. The ddx for her hypotension included epidural
induced sympathectomy versus myocardial ischemia. Her EKG was
unchanged. When the hypotension did not resolve after capping
the epidural an Echocardiogram performed which showed focal
right ventricular hypokinesis. She had a positive troponin
which peaked at 0.2 on post-op day two.
# Elevated cardiac enzymes: No known h/o CAD prior to this
hospitalization. Troponin bumped to max of 0.20, then trended
down slightly to 0.06. MBI negative x3. CEs sent initially in
the setting of hypotension and finding on TTE of RV free wall
hypokinesis. Reportedly this was prior to a. fib w/ RVR so
troponin leak appears to predate the rapid a. fib. Picture is
suggestive of perioperative NSTEMI per cardiology.
Differential, however, includes ischemia vs. less likely
myocarditis as cause of elevated troponin. EKG when in NSR in
the setting of hypotension did not reveal evidence of ischemia,
but w/ atrial fibrillation now has new TWI in I, aVL which may
represent demand ischemia in LCx distribution. A statin, BB, and
ASA were started for risk factor modification per cardiology.
# Right ventricular hypokinesis: Severe free wall motion
hypokinesis on echocardiogram likely represents small RV NSTEMI.
CEs elevated, but plateaued prior to a. fib w/ RVR. The patient
was initially hypotensive requiring IVF boluses and 2u RBC, but
remained hemodynamically stable for the remainder of her ICU
course. Repeat TTE [**2141-7-25**] showed somewhat improved RV
contractile function.
# Atrial fibrillation: Pt. reportedly has h/o post op a. fib
after her surgery in [**2137**] which responded well to Lopressor and
was self limited. She denies any further episodes since. Rate
responded poorly to IV and PO metoprolol on the floor, but
improved control after second dose of diltiazem (15mg IV on the
floor, 20mg IV in the ICU), approximately 100 down from 140s on
transfer with rate ~110s-120s on diltiazem 5mg/hr gtt. She was
loaded with amiodarone on [**7-23**] and cardioverted to NSR on [**7-24**] at
noon. At this point the diltiazem drip was discontinued and she
was started on PO lopressor. Remains in NSR with HR 70s - 80s.
She was started on Lovenox for thromboembolic prophylaxis. An
attempt to transition her to Coumadin was abandoned after her
INR was noted to be 4.7 after three days of Coumadin at 5mg qd.
She was given vitamin K, her HCT was monitored serially, and
there was no evidence of acute bleeding as her INR returned to
baseline. Bridging to Coumadin may be re-attempted as an
outpatient once her nutritional status improves.
# Hypoxia: Mid 90s on 2L NC. CXR does show evidence of b/l
pleural effusions and possible LLL opacity vs. atelectasis, o/w
without significant pulmonary edema. No evidence of left
ventricular wall motion abnormalities nor depressed EF to
suggest significant risk for pulmonary edema, but has been
receiving fluids for BP maintenance given RV wall motion
abnormalities and mild bibasilar crackles were heard on exam .
Likely hypoxia is secondary to fluid overload and dependent
atelectasis. Responded well to 20mg IV Lasix during ICU course
with good response (neg. 1700cc) which resulted in improved
pulmonary function and oxygenation at 99% on 2L. Pt ruled out
for PE on CTA.
# Leukocytosis: WBC was max 17.0 without left shift with pt
afebrile. She denies cough, UA did show occ. bacteria, neg.
nitrites, small amount of leuk. esterase, lg. blood. Treated
with 3 days of Cipro for presumed UTI, however urine cx showed
no growth. No diarrhea. At the time of discharge she was
afebrile and her WBC had trended downward to 10.7.
# Anemia: Previously normal baseline, but most recently 30-33
in early [**Month (only) 205**]. Postoperatively hct has been 24-27, without
evidence of bleeding. up 34.0 [**2141-7-24**] s/p 2u PRBCs then dropped
to 27.3 [**7-25**]. Stabilized around 30.4.
# Proph: Lovenox
Pt was transferred out of the ICU on POD8 and did well on the
floor, maintaining her O2 sats well on room air, ambulating, and
tolerating a regular diet. She was discharge on post-op day
twelve in stable condition. She has follow up with her PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) **]

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 39 year old man who was found to have streptococcus
Bacteremia and sepsis with associated liver abscess and 2 small
lung abscesses (STREPTOCOCCUS ANGINOSUS MILLERI seen on blood
cultures x 2 on [**3-12**] which subsequently cleared from blood).
Patient responded to IV fluids but was continued to be febrile
(he has been hemodynamically stable). He was treated with
Vancomycin, Zosyn, and Flagyl initially which were changed to IV
Ceftriaxone and Flagyl. On [**3-18**], he underwent IR drainage which
relieved 35 cc of pus. A drain was attached but did not drain
more than 5 cc over the next 24 hours. He was then sent back to
IR for flushing of the catheter which revealed the catheter was
patent. Therefore, given the low output, the drain was pulled.
He was also seen by hepatobiliary surgery who thought the
morbidity of surgery would be high given that he was responding
to medical therapy (this was likely the better option). There
are still un-drained collections in his liver, these will need
serial imaging and long term IV antibiotics. He was discharged
home with ceftriaxone IV and PO Flagyl for a 6 week course
tentatively. He has ID f/u and will likely undergo repeat
imaging near the end of the antibiotic course. In addition he
will f/u with a dentist and undergo a colonoscopy to look for
underlying source predisposed him to STREPTOCOCCUS ANGINOSUS
(MILLERI) bacteremia. For the lung lesion, he was ruled out for
TB. The abscesses are small from hematogenous seeding of strep.
He had anemia of chronic inflammation but he was guaiac + at his
PCP office and will undergo a colonoscopy. Total discharge time
34 minutes.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Lower Extremity Vascular Cath x 2
History of Present Illness:
86 y/o female with PMH significant for PVD and chronic renal
failure admitted for planned percutaneous revascularization of
the left leg. Pt initially presented to [**Hospital 1474**] Hospital on
0/29 with three to four weeks of claudication that had
progressed to rest pain. Work up at [**Hospital1 1474**] included bilateral
carotid US that showed 80 to 99% stenosis and ABIs that were
consistent with claudictaion. Pt was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] at
that time and received a stent to the [**Country **]. At that time, her
hospital course was complicated by renal failure secondary to
the dye load from her cath. Pt then returned to [**Hospital1 18**] from [**1-9**]
to [**1-13**] for the SFA stent and this went well with no renal
failure.
At this point of time the patients only complaint is pain in her
L leg. The pain is greatest in her foot but also involves her L
posterior thigh. Otherwise the patient feels well and denies:
CP, SOB, N/V, Abd pain, problems with urination or bowel
function, fevers, chills, palpitations, PND, or orthopnea.

Brief Hospital Course:
86 y/o female with PMH significant for PVD and chronic renal
failure admitted for planned percutaneous revascularization of
the left leg.
Patient with severe PVD resulting in necrosis of the feet. She
has already had procedures to her R leg with reestablishment of
blood flow. The patient was first taken to cath and found to
have a great deal of thrombus in the L leg. She was cathed with
atents to the [**Last Name (LF) 32365**], [**First Name3 (LF) 7195**] and LCFA. A catheter was left in
overnight for a slow infusion of TPA. She was kept in the CCU
during this infusion. Then she was brought back to the cath lab
where the DP was opened using PTCA. After this the patient's L
foot became less mottled and had dopplerable fellow. After the
second procedure the patient was found to have a decreased
mental status and difficult to control blood pressure. She was
also found to have a fever and a white count.
By Issue:
**Hypertension - She was having SBP's in the 180's to 200's
following the second procedure. Blood pressure goal in the unit
was 160 in order to properly perfuse the leg. Lopressor was not
successful in controling her blood pressure. Diltiazem was much
more effective. She was brought down to the 160's using
diltiazem and hydralazine. By the next morning the patient was
awake enough to take po meds. Her oral meds were titrated up to
keep her blood pressure in the 130 to 140 range. The blood
pressure goal ia a compromise between having high enough
pressure to perfuse her foot but not too high to rupture the
cath site. The patients BP meds have been steadily titrated up
with good effect although her BP at discharge was still slightly
high in the 150's.
**Infection - Patient was admitted with a UTI being treated with
levofloxacin. Patient spiked a fever on [**1-18**] and was started
on zosyn. Her prior urine culture [**1-17**] grew Klebsiella,
resistant to levo and sensitive to zosyn. Also she was found to
have a pneumonia LLL on CXR. Furthermore, the patient was found
to have a MRSA infection on bedside wound swab. She was also
started on vancomycin. Unfortunately the patient can not have
an MRI due to her stents so osteo is difficult to rule out. The
patient will need to continue zosyn for a total of 2 weeks and
vancomycin for a total of 6 weeks.
**Mental Status - Upon returning from the cath lab for the
second time the patient has a severe waxing and [**Doctor Last Name 688**] of mental
status consistent with delerium on top of her baseline mild
dementia. She ranged from aggitated (screaming at nurses) to
somnolent (barely arousable). A non-contrast head CT was
performed given the high blood pressures and recent TPA infusion
which was negative for mass or bleed. Neuro was also consulted
and felt the patient had a toxic metabolic delerium rather than
a stroke. The patient defervesed on zosyn and her mental status
improved. By the morning of [**1-22**], she was back to her slight
baseline dementia.
2) CAD - Pt has a history of CAD. Enzymes were cycled for T
wave flattening and were negative. Patient continued on [**Date Range **],
lipitor, plavix. Also her BP meds were continued includine a
bblocker, ACE, and, imdur.
3) Glaucoma - Continued on brimonidine drops.

BILAT LOWER EXT VEINS Study Date of [**2120-10-15**] 9:37 PM
TECHNIQUE AND FINDINGS: Grayscale, color flow and Doppler images
of the lower
extremities were obtained. Common femoral veins, superficial
femoral veins
and popliteal veins demonstrate normal compressibility,
respiratory variation
in venous flow and venous augmentation.
IMPRESSION: No DVT in both lower extremities.
.
CTA CHEST W&W/O C&RECONS, NON-CORONARY Study Date of [**2120-10-15**]
12:04 AM
TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained from the thoracic
inlet to the
upper abdomen after administration of 100 cc of Optiray
intravenously. No
oral contrast was used. Sagittal and coronal reformatted images
were
obtained.
CTA OF THE CHEST: No filling defect is noted within the main
pulmonary artery
and its branches to suggest pulmonary embolism. The aorta has
normal
appearance with no acute pathology. Diffuse calcification of the
coronary
arteries are noted. Multiple nodes are noted in the mediastinum.
The largest
node is noted in anterior subcarinal space and measures 11 mm in
short axis.
Diffuse calcification of coronary arteries are noted. 4-mm
pulmonary nodule
is noted in the right upper lobe. Atelectatic changes are noted
at the bases.
Visualized part of the upper abdomen including the adrenal
glands and the
spleen are unremarkable. Pneumobilia is noted within the left
biliary system.
BONE WINDOWS: Wedge compression fracture of the mid thoracic
vertebral body
is noted.
IMPRESSION: No pulmonary embolism and no dissection. 4-mm
pulmonary nodule
of the right upper lobe. One-year followup is recommended to
ensure
stability.
.
The left atrium is elongated. The interatrial septum is
aneurysmal. A left-to-right shunt across the interatrial septum
is seen at rest. A small secundum atrial septal defect is
present. 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 arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are
mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The left
ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. The
tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The estimated
pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Interatrial septal aneurysm with left to right flow
at rest, consistent with small atrial septal defect. Normal
global and regional biventricular systolic function. Mild mitral
regurgitation.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2104-6-2**], a small intracardiac shunt is
identified.
.
ECG Study Date of [**2120-10-14**] 9:15:22 PM
Baseline artifact
Sinus tachycardia
Left axis deviation could be due to left anterior fascicular
block and/or
prior inferior myocardial infarction
Delayed R wave progression with late precordial QRS transition -
is nonspecific
Since previous tracing of [**2118-1-10**], sinus tachycardia now
present
Brief Hospital Course:
Pt is an 84 year old woman with history of hypertension and
dementia who presented with hypoxia of unknown etiology.
Hypoxia/Shortness of breath:
The patient was initially admitted to the MICU for hypoxia of an
unclear etiology, and was quickly weaned from non-rebreather
oxygen to room air. The patient was evaluated for pulmonary
embolism by a CT angiogram which did not show any abnormalities.
The pt did not have fever or leukocytosis and there was no
evidence of consolidation on chest x-ray to suggest an
infectious cause of hypoxia. The pt had an echocardiogram which
showed an intra-atrial aneurysm with left-to-right shunting, but
this did not seem like the likely source of the pt's hypoxia.
Shunt unlikely, no significant atelectasis on CT, no history of
AVMs. Cardiac biomarkers were cycled and the patient did not
show any evidence (on EKG or cardiac enzymes) of coronary
disease. On the floor the pt oxygenated well with no
de-saturations on room air, and was able to ambulate without any
desaturations on room air. Ultimately the patient's hypoxia was
attributed either to a temporary mucous plug or to a transient
aspiration pneumonitis.
.
Hypertension:
The patient was continued on her home medications: Atenolol 50
mg daily, Norvasc 10mg daily, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg daily.
.
Hypercholestermia:
The patient was continued on her home dose of Crestor.
.
Dementia:
The patient was confused in the ICU, and oriented only to self.
Initially on the floor the patient was agitiated, trying to get
out of bed. Given the family's concern that the pt's memory was
not benefitting from Aricept and Namenda, and that the Aricept
and Namenda were actually causing memory impairments, the
Aricept and Namenda were discontinued. The pt was continued on
her home doses of her anti-depressant medications venlafaxine
and paroxetine.
.
Chronic renal failure:
The patient's creatinine was noted to be at baseline (1.2 to
1.9) during this hospitalization. Nephrotoxins were avoided.
.
DNR/DNI:
The patient's code status was DNR DNI during this admission, and
this was confirmed with the patient and her family.
Medications on Admission:
Amlodipine 10mg daily
Atenolol 50mg daily
Aricept 2.5mg daily

Pertinent Results:
[**2142-8-14**] Intraop TEE:
PREBYPASS - The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%) Right
ventricular chamber size is normal. with focal hypokinesis of
the apical free wall. The ascending aorta is markedly dilated.
The descending thoracic aorta is mildly dilated. A mobile
density originating from the right sinus of Valsalva is seen in
the ascending aorta, transverse arch and descending thoracic
aorta consistent with an intimal flap/aortic dissection. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. Moderate to
severe (3+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are structurally normal. No mitral regurgitation is
seen. POSTBYPASS - LV systolic function remains normal. There is
a well seated, well functioning bioprosthesis in the aortic
position. There is mild valvular AI. A graft appears in the
ascending aorta and transverse arch. The disection flap is still
present in the distal arch and descending thoracic aorta. Flow
is visualized in the true lumen. The study is otherwise
unchanged from prebypass.
[**2142-8-15**] Renal Ultrasound: No renal arterial abnormality detected.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 7842**] was emergently brought to the operating room where
Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] performed replacement of his ascending aorta and
subtotal arch along with aortic valve replacement. For surgical
details, please see seperate dictated operative note. Following
the operation, he was brought to the CVICU in critical
condition. Initially coagulopathic, he required multiple blood
products. Postoperative TEE was notable worsening pericardial
effusion with questionable signs of early tamponade. He
concomitantly had a slight decline in renal function. Renal
ultrasound showed no evidence of aortic dissection into the
renal arteries. On postoperative day two, he returned to the
operating room for re-exploration. Given prolonged period of
sedation and intubation, tube feedings were started for
nutritional support. As sedation was weaned he became extremely
agitated with question of nonpurposeful movements. Head CT scan
and MRI were obtained which did not show any large area of
territory infarct. Neurology service was consulted and
attributed his altered mental status to most likely
toxic-metablolic encephalopathy. He remained hypertensive and
continued to require Labetolol drip for adequate blood pressure
control. He also experienced postop fevers, and pan-cultures
were obtained. He was empirically started on antibiotics for
possible ventilator associated pneumonia along with positive
blood cultures. Over several days, clinical improvements were
noted. He was eventually extubated on postoperative day nine. He
was transferred to the step down floor. He was seen in
consultation by the physical therapy service. He was gently
diuresed. A PICC line was placed and he was screened for rehab.
By post-operative day 15 he was ready for discharge to rehab.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] was admitted on [**2121-12-18**] for [**Date Range 1106**] surgery
evaluation of right heel ulcer. She was started on
vanco/cipro/flagyl on admission to cover an infection. On
hospital day 2 ([**2121-12-19**]), she underwent right peroneal
angioplasty on [**2121-12-19**] and was put on an argatroban drip for 24
hours following the procedure. On [**12-20**], she was noted to be
hypotensive to 72/37 and hypothermic to 94.6. Cardiac enzymes
were checked and were noted to be positive. She was transfused 2
units packed red blood cells on [**12-20**]. Plastic surgery was
consulted for evaluation of sacral decubuti, but declined to
debride wound due to aspirin/plavix/argatroban use. She
underwent HD on [**2121-12-21**], but they were unable to remove fluid
due to low blood pressures. When renal evaluted her on that day,
there was concern that her mental status was not at baseline and
her words were not well enunciated. They recommended sending
blood cultures and broadening antibiotics but no intervention
was undertaken at this time. Cardiology was consulted on [**12-21**]
for bradycardia, hypotension, and elevated cardiac enzymes and
recommended discontinuation of beta-blockers. An echo was
performed on [**12-22**] which showed new regional wall motion
abnormalities. Given hypotension, anasarca, and inability to
tolerate HD due to low blood pressures, patient was transfered
to MICU for CVVHD.
.
Upon arrival to the MICU, patient reports right hand pain. She
denies any other complaints. No abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, fevers, chills, shortness of breath, chest
pain.

RIGHT ARM ARTERIAL DOPPLERS [**2121-12-29**]: Findings as stated above
which indicate poor right radial artery flow with improvement
with compression. Note of radial artery calcification.
Calcifications are new when compared to a prior AV fistula study
performed in [**2116**].
.
RIGHT FOREARM [**12-26**] Interstitial edema. No evidence of abscess.
.
CT ABDOMEN/PELVIS [**12-26**]: IMPRESSION:
1. Soft tissue wound inferior to the coccyx, with induration and
inflammatory changes within the subcutaneous fat extending to
the rectum, with inflammatory changes involving the posterior
wall of the rectum.
2. 4.3 cm fat-containing anterior abdominal wall lesion,
consistent with a
fat-containing hernia, not significantly changed in size
compared to [**2117-1-1**] with a focus of central hyperdensity which
may represent an engorged vessel.
3. Fractures of the right lateral ninth and eighth ribs.
4. A 15 mm cystic lesion inferior to the pancreatic head, which
may represent a side branch IPMN or other mucinous lesion, for
which further evaluation with MRCP is recommended.
5. Nodular appearance of the liver surface, consistent with
cirrhosis.
6. Anasarca and ascites.
7. Left inguinal lymphadenopathy, with a single prominent node
measuring up to 11 mm in short axis diameter.
.
TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND [**2121-12-31**]: The patient is post-menopausal.
Transabdominal examination is significantly limited due to large
patient body habitus and poor echo penetration. Transvaginal
examination was attempted; however, due to the patient's
condition she had difficulty complying with endovaginal
ultrasound probe maneuvers.
.
PICC [**2122-1-2**]:Uncomplicated ultrasound and fluoroscopically
guided 5 French
double-lumen PICC line placement via the left brachial venous
approach. Final internal length is 41 cm, with the tip
positioned in SVC. The line is ready to use.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 78 year old female with type 2 DM, ESRD on HD,
PVD s/p BKA, CAD s/p MI with septic shock, volume overload.
.
1. Septic Shock: Due to MDR Acinetobacter line infection and
RESOLVED. Had initially been treated empirically with
Daptomycin, Colistin, Flagyl and Unasyn. Daptomycin and Flagyl
were discontinued as there were no gram positive bacteria in
blood cultures, and negative C. difficile x 3. Acinetobacter
coverage narrowed to high dose Unasyn to complete a 14-day
course from the date of the first negative blood culture.
Unasyn day 1=[**12-25**], to complete [**1-7**].
.
2. Hypotension: Baseline SBP 70s-80s per the renal team that
follows her as an outpatient; suspect bad PVD preventing
accurate measurement of true BP. The patient mentates well at
this blood pressure. We initiated midodrine and this was
continued for discharge.
.
3. Sacral /ischial decubiti: Plastic Surgery debrided the sacral
ulcer. Given rise in ESR from 55 to 109, were are treating for
now for presumptive osteomyelitis. She should continue
Vancomycin and Ceftazidine for a two-week course and monitor
ESR. If ESR persists high, discuss continuation of antibiotics
with Plastics. The patient has follow-up scheduled with Plastic
Surgery.
.
5. End-stage renal disease on hemodialysis: Patient negative 30L
on CVVHD during her admission to the MICU, and she is felt to be
near her dry weight. Patient is tolerating HD. Continuing
midodrine as above.
.
6. Right Arm Pain: There is some steal from her AV fistula, but
no current change in management is recommended at this time
after consultation with the Hand Surgeons. Her neuropathic pain
is improved. She has a good radial pulse currently. Further
consideration of neurontin or other treatments may be
appropriate after discharge.
.
7. Anemia: History of chronic GI bleed from AVMs. We targeted a
Hct of 25 for transfusion and recommend follow-up monitoring for
signs of GI bleeding.
.
8. Heel ulcer/peripheral [**Month/Year (2) 1106**] disease: Status post right
peroneal angioplasty on [**2121-12-19**]. Continued weight-sparing
boot. The patient has follow-up scheduled with [**Date Range 1106**]
surgery.
.
8. Thrombocytopenia: She has a history of thrombocytopenia and
her counts are stable at discharge. The patient has a history
of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and therefore heparin was
avoided and heparin-free lines only were used.
.
9. Type 2 diabetes: We continued sliding scale insulin and
stopped her fixed dose 70/30 in setting of hypoglycemia.
.
11. Elevated INR: Likely nutritional and somewhat improved with
vitamin K 5 mg PO x 3 days.
.
12. Vaginal bleeding: The patient had a small amount of vaginal
bleeding during admission. She has a uterus and cervix, but CT
scan and transvaginal ultrasound with limited views show no
pathologic features. Further evaluation is deferred to the
outpatient setting.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted for revascularization of your right leg. You
developed a blood infection that is being treated with
antibiotics. For a time you required medications to support your
blood pressure. You underwent continuous hemodialysis to remove
30 liters of extra fluid.
You also came in with a dead tissue covering an ulcer that
needed to be removed. The dead tissue and fat were removed from
your sacrum and you were started on antibiotics to treat a
potential bone infection related to your ulcer. You improved on
antibiotics and have resumed normal hemodialysis.
You are ready to go to a rehabilitation facility to continue
your recovery. You will need to complete all your antibiotics.
You have a special intravenous line called a PICC to allow you
to receive these antibiotics. You will continue to receive
hemodialysis at your rehabilitation facility. You have been
started on a new medication MIDODRINE to help support your blood
pressure.
If you experience temperature < 95.0 F, or > 101.5, chest pain,
inability to breath, or any other concerning symptoms please go
to the Emergency Department.
Followup Instructions:
You will receive hemodialysis on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

Service: NEUROLOGY
Allergies:
Patient recorded as having No Known Allergies to Drugs
Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 618**]
Chief Complaint:
Intracranial hemorrhage
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
86 year-old left-handed Chinese man with a history of
hypertension, dyslipidemia, prior stroke with mild left
hemiparesis (on Plavix), and legally blind from macular
degeneration who presents as a transfer from [**Hospital6 **] this evening for concern of intracranial hemorrhage.
The patient was in his usual state of health until awakening
this
morning at 5 am, when he noted difficulty moving his left leg.
He had tried to stand and go to the bathroom, but could not do
so
without the assistance of his wife, a former OB/GYN in [**Country 651**].
His wife noted that he seemed to hold his left hand in a flexed
position. He seemed to "tilt" to the left side, according to
his
wife. She noted that he seemed to be urinating more frequently,
but noted no incontinence. He convinced his wife that he was
all
right, but she decided to take him to [**Hospital6 **]
at 4 pm for further evaluation when deficits persisted.
At [**Hospital3 **], his blood pressure was 187/100 on arrival.
He was noted to have 3 mm pupils, left facial weakness, and left
arm weakness was noted in his grasp. They report that the
patient complained of left-sided sensory deficits, which he
denies currently. He seemed to keep his eyes closed, but opened
on command; his left eye did not seem to open as much as the
right. A CBC was notable for a platelet count of 129, while his
basic metabolic panel was unremarkable. INR was one and other
coagulation studies were normal. A CT of the head reportedly
revealed an acute 2.6 x 1.7 cm acute hematoma of the right
thalamus with 3 mm shift to the left, as well as bilateral basal
ganglia lacunes with extensive chronic ischemic white matter
changes.
He was therefore transferred to [**Hospital3 **] for further
evaluation. His wife notes that he has been yawning quite a bit
this evening, but that he remains clear in his thinking.
Review of Systems:
He denies headache, fever, chest pain, dysarthria, dysphagia,
and
incomprehension. Other pertinent positives as above.
Past Medical History:
-Hypertension
-Dyslipidemia, diet-controlled
-Stroke in [**2173**], with mild left-sided weakness

Brief Hospital Course:
86 year-old left-handed Chinese man with a history of
hypertension, dyslipidemia, prior stroke with mild left
hemiparesis, and legally blind from macular degeneration
presents with right thalamic hemorrhage with intraventricular
spread. His neurologic examination is notable for a right gaze
preference, left facial droop, breakable left hemiparesis, mild
hemisensory loss to pain, and hyper-reflexia in the left lower
extremity. Hypertensive etiology is most likely. Pt admitted
to ICU and transferred to floor [**7-3**].
Exam at discharge:
Pt is arousable, prefers eyes closed, very poor vision, oriented
to all but exact day. Follows all commands, slight weakness
left side w/ preference for right.
Neuro: No underlying mass or vascular malformation was seen on
MRI. However he was found to have multiple small bleeds
consistent with amyloid angiopathy. His head CT remained stable
while in the ICU overnight with approximately 6cc bleed in right
thalamus. Plan is to hold Plavix and all other
anti-platelet/anticoagulant agents for 7 days. Given amyloid
angiopathy, plan is to start baby [**Name (NI) 17408**] 7 days after bleed and
not restart plavix. PT and OT consulted.
CV: BP was controlled with his po dose atenolol 62.5mg qam.
Nicardipine drip was only necessary for a few hours overnight in
the ICU. SBP was kept 120-160.
FEN/GI: He passed his swallow evaluation and was ok for modified
diet. Follow up Cr and fluid balance given slight increase in
Cr on day of discharge.
Endo: SSI was used to maintain euglycemia. HbA1C was mildly
elevated at 6.1 and should be followed up as an outpatient.
ID: MRSA + on screening swab. No other active infectious issues
GU: Grossly bldy urine after foley attributed to trauma from
foley and BPH. Foley removed [**7-4**] and pt voiding, incontinent
of urine but no retention.
Medications on Admission:
-Plavix 75 mg daily (started at the time of his stroke)
-Atenolol 65 mg daily
-Proscar 5 mg daily
-Multivitamin
-No herbal remedies
Discharge Medications:
1. Acetaminophen 325 mg Tablet Sig: 1-2 Tablets PO Q6H (every 6

Discharge Diagnosis:
Hypertensive right thalamic hemorrhage with intraventricular
extension
Secondary:
HTN, h/o stroke
Discharge Condition:
Improved
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the neurology ICU service for bleeding into
the right side of your brain in a region called the thalamus.
This was most likely caused by high blood pressure. You were
also found to have "amyloid angiopathy" on the MRI of your
brain. We recommend stopping plavix as amyoloid puts you at
higher risk to have bleeding into your brain. You should start
on [**Location (un) 17408**] 81mg daily on [**7-9**].
.
Please take all medications as perscribed. If you have concerns
about the medications, please call your PCP before changing the
doses.
.
Please call your PCP or return to the emergency room if you
experience any worsening in your symptoms or have other
concerns.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] was a same day admit following work-up after cardiac
cath. On [**12-13**] she was brought to the operating room where she
[**Month/Year (2) 1834**] a coronary artery bypass graft x 5. Please see
operative report for surgical details. Following surgery she was
transferred to the CVICU for invasive monitoring in stable
condition. She was transfused 3 units of PRBCs for postoperative
anemia. On post-op day one she was weaned from sedation, awoke
neurologically intact and extubated. Beta blockers were started
on this day and titrated during hospital course. On post-op day
two her chest tubes were removed and she was started on
diuretics. She was gently diuresed towards her pre-op weight.
Later on this day she was transferred to the telemetry floor for
further care. She had some short bursts of atrial fibrillation.
She eventually started on Amiodarone and Warfarin for paroxsymal
atrial fibrillation. Her postoperative course was otherwise
uneventful. At discharge, she was in a normal sinus rhythm. She
was ready for discharge to home on POD #8. Prior to discharge,
arrangements were made with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] to monitor Warfarin as an
outpatient. Goal INR should be between 2.0 - 2.5.

REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
r/o bowel obstruction
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN AND PELVIS WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST
CLINICAL HISTORY: Status post MVR/CABG, evaluate for bowel
obstruction.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Multiple continuous 5-mm thick axial CT images of the
abdomen and pelvis were obtained from the lung bases to upper
thighs with intravenous contrast. Subsequently, coronal and
sagittal reformatted images were performed.
ABDOMEN FINDINGS: Small amount of retrosternal fluid is noted,
likely post- operative in nature. Bilateral moderate pleural
effusions are seen, right greater than left, with adjacent areas
of passive atelectasis. The heart is moderately enlarged. There
is interstitial thickening and ground- glass opacities in the
visualized bilateral bases.
No free air, or loculated or free fluid is seen. The liver,
spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands are within normal limits.
Small hypodense lesions are noted in the kidneys, too small to
be adequately characterized, and likely representing cysts.
There is no hydronephrosis or hydroureter. The gallbladder is
visualized.
A few small sub-centimeter retroperitoneal lymph nodes are
noted, with no lymphadenopathy. Nasogastric tube is seen coiled
within the stomach with its tip in the fundus. The stomach is
moderately distended. The remainder of the bowel and mesentery
are unremarkable. The appendix is within normal limits.
Moderate-to-severe calcification is seen in the distal abdominal
aorta and common iliac arteries, the major abdominal vessels are
within normal limits.
PELVIS FINDINGS: Trace fluid is noted in the presacral region.
There is no pelvic lymphadenopathy. Foley catheter is seen
within the urinary bladder, which demonstrates air fluid level.
The prostate gland is mildly measured.
Degenerative changes are seen through the lumbosacral spine,
with possible areas of central canal stenosis. Median sternotomy
wires are noted. Subcutaneous tissues are unremarkable, except
for mild fat stranding involving the proximal thighs.
IMPRESSION:
1. No bowel obstruction. However, the stomach is moderately
distended inspite of presence of nasogastric tube.
2. No inflammatory process, mass or lymphadenopathy.
3. Tiny left renal interpolar hyperdense lesion, too small to be
adequately characterized and likely representing a cyst.
4. Bilateral small to moderate pleural effusion, right greater
than left, with adjacent areas of passive atelectasis.
5. Moderate cardiomegaly, with bibasilar interstitial thickening
and ground- glass opacities, findings suggestive of CHF.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.

Brief Hospital Course:
As mentioned in the HPI, Mr. [**Known lastname **] was admitted with increasing
dyspnea and found to be in congestive heart failure. He was
treated accordingly by the medical/cardiology team over several
days. Echo on day of admission showed moderate MR. [**Name13 (STitle) **] eventually
underwent a cardiac cath which revealed two vessel coronary
artery disease. Cardiac surgery was consulted and he underwent
usual pre-operative work-up. On [**2165-8-22**] he was brought to the
operating room where he underwent a mitral valve replacement,
coronary artery bypass graft x 2 and maze procedure with left
atrial appendage ligation. Please see operative report for
surgical details. Following surgery he was transferred to the
CSRU for invasive monitoring in stable condition. During his
initial post-op course there continued to be extensive post-op
bleeding. Also found to have a right pneumothorax and right
chest tubes was placed. Later that evening he continued to have
bleeding with possible tamponade and was eventually brought back
to the operating room for re-exploration of mediastinum. Please
see operative report for details. Following surgery he once
again returned to the CSRU for invasive monitoring. On post-op
day one he was weaned from sedation, awoke neurologically intact
and extubated. Over next several days he was also weaned from
his multiple pressors. Chest tubes were removed on post-op day
two. Beta blockers and diuretics were started and he was gently
diuresed towards his pre-op weight. On post-op day three
epicardial pacing wires were removed. On post-op day four he
appeared to be doing well and was transferred to the telemetry
floor for further care. Over next couple of days beta blockers
were titrated for maximum hemodynamics and he worked with
physical therapy for strength and mobility. On post op day 6 he
had abdominal distention with nausea he was transfered to the
ICU for monitoring. He underwent ct scan that revealed gastric
ileus with no obstruction. He remained in the ICU for
hyponatremia and was corrected with fluid restriction and salt
tabs. He was transferred to the floor and continued to
progress. He was doing well on post-op day 15 and was ready for
discharge to rehab for continued physical therapy, occupational
therapy and speech/swallow.

134/64 with a heart rate of 78. His hematocrit was 41.4, his
white blood cell count was 10.6, and his platelets were 227.
His sodium was 141. His potassium was 4.1. His prothrombin
time was 12. His partial thromboplastin time was 20.4. His
INR was 0.9.
The patient was alert, awake, and oriented times three. The
pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light at 2.5 mm to
2 mm. The face was symmetric. An arterial line was placed.
On [**2151-10-10**] the patient had an angiogram done which
was negative. Postoperatively, his vital signs were stable.
His blood pressure was 126/63, his heart rate was 57, his
respiratory rate was 17, and his oxygen saturation was 97% on
2 liters. The patient was alert, awake, and oriented times
three. He was following commands. The extraocular movements
were full. No drift. His strength was [**5-10**] in both the upper
and lower extremities. No hematoma. His dorsalis pedis
pulses were 2+ bilaterally. He was kept on best rest. His
systolic blood pressure was less than 130s.
The patient remained in the Intensive Care Unit in stable
neurologic condition. The patient stayed in the Intensive
Care Unit until [**10-14**]. He remained neurologically
intact. He had a repeat angiogram on [**10-14**] which showed
no definite aneurysm; however, there was an irregularity at
the origin of the posterior communicating artery. He had no
complications. Postoperatively, he had a mild headache. His
vital signs remained stable.
After the angiogram the patient wanted to be discharged home
and talked about leaving against medical advice. However,
Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Name (STitle) 1132**] did speak with the patient and told him there
was no definite source of hemorrhage; however, the angiogram
showed mild evidence of cerebral vasospasm, and he was
advised to stay in the hospital. The patient did decide to
stay.
However, on [**2151-10-8**] the patient wanted to leave the
hospital and did leave against medical advice. He was told
to follow up with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Name (STitle) 1132**] and again reminded that our
advice would be to remain in the hospital in order to insure
that the vasospasm visualized on angiography did not become
symptomatic.

Admission Date: [**2167-8-6**] Discharge Date: [**2167-8-19**]
Date of Birth: [**2098-10-30**] Sex: F
Service: [**Hospital Unit Name 196**]
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 68-year-old
woman with chronic congestive heart failure, who presented to
[**Hospital3 **] with increasing dyspnea for the last two to
three months and associated orthopnea and pedal edema. The
patient also had paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. The patient
denied any frank chest pressure or pain. She was noted at
the outside hospital to have a chronic right lower lobe
effusion/infiltrate. At the outside hospital the patient was
diuresed eight pounds, but remained in congestive heart
failure, and also had hyponatremia, which was resolving upon
transfer. Additionally, the patient had hyperkalemia at the
outside hospital, which was resolved and ruled out for
Addison disease by a cortisol level. The patient also
developed herpes zoster on [**2167-7-29**]. A stress
MIBI performed at the outside hospital showed left
ventricular dilation at rest and post Persantine, a large
inferior, posterior, lateral infarct without ischemia and
global hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of 24%. The
patient was transferred to the [**Hospital1 188**] for further diuresis and intervention.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction
in [**2161**] with PTCA and stent of the RCA. There is evidence of
a previous posterior myocardial infarction and a new anterior
MI with a ejection fraction of 35% at that time.
2. Cerebrovascular accident in [**2167-5-18**] with right-sided
weakness.
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with chronic right
lower lobe infiltrate. The patient has been treated for
pneumonia twice without resolution of the infiltrate.
4. Mitral stenosis secondary to rheumatic fever.
5. Atrial fibrillation for which the patient is on Coumadin.
MEDICATIONS:
1. Coumadin 3 mg PO q.d.
2. Digoxin 0.25 mg PO q.d.
3. Lopressor 12.5 mg PO b.i.d.
4. Capoten 12.5 mg PO b.i.d.
5. Lasix 80 mg PO q.d.
6. Lipitor 10 mg PO q.d.
ALLERGIES: The patient is allergic to AMOXICILLIN, WHICH
CAUSES ITCHING AND NAUSEA.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives alone. The patient is
widowed. Her daughter lives next door. The patient walks
with a cane at home and uses two liters of oxygen. She is
only able to walk a few steps without shortness of breath.
The patient quit smoking tobacco in [**2161**]. She has a greater
than 50 pack per year smoking history. The patient denies
alcohol or drug use.
FAMILY HISTORY: There is no history of coronary artery
disease.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: GENERAL: The patient is an elderly
female resting in no acute distress. Temperature 96.4, blood
pressure 104/68, pulse 68. Respirations 36. Oxygen
saturation 98% on four liters. Weight 136.5 pounds. HEENT:
normocephalic, atraumatic. NECK: Supple, no JVD.
PULMONARY: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.
CARDIOVASCULAR: Regular rate and rhythm; 1-2/6 systolic
murmur. ABDOMEN: Soft, nontender, nondistended, positive
bowel sounds. EXTREMITIES: No clubbing or cyanosis. Right
groin site without hematoma or bruit; 1+ dorsalis pedis
pulses bilaterally.
LABORATORY DATA: Laboratory data revealed the following:
White count 4.8, hematocrit 40.8, platelet count 153,000,
sodium 131, potassium 4.2, chloride 92, bicarbonate 35, BUN
28, creatinine 1.0, glucose 74, calcium 8.8. EKG: Atrial
fibrillation with a left bundle branch block. Ventricular
rate of 71 beats per minute. Chest x-ray: Study performed
on [**2167-7-21**], showed right lower lobe infiltrate,
cardiomegaly, mild pulmonary vascular redistribution, right
small effusion.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
#1. CARDIOVASCULAR: Upon transfer to the [**Hospital1 346**], the patient was taken to the
Coronary Catheterization Laboratory, which revealed on left
ventriculography 3+ mitral regurgitation, left ventricular
ejection fraction 25% with inferobasilar akinesis, anterior
apical severe hypokinesis. In addition, the patient had a
30% in-stent narrowing within the mid RCA. It was thought
that the patient's severe left ventricular dysfunction was
related to her prior infarction with likely additional
nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The patient had nonsignificant
coronary artery disease with severe mitral regurgitation and
moderate-to-severe mitral stenosis. Echocardiogram performed
on [**2167-8-7**] showed an ejection fraction less than
20% with left atrial and left ventricular dilation. There
was left ventricular anteroseptal apical and inferior
akinesis with hypokinesis elsewhere and in the right
ventricular free wall. There was 1+ AR, 3+ MR, 2+ TR and
moderate pulmonary artery hypertension with a small
pericardial effusion. Because the patient was markedly
volume overloaded, status post catheterization and had
evidence of severe systolic left ventricular dysfunction, the
patient was diuresed aggressively with Lasix and Natrecor
drips. Maximal diuresis achieved while on the hospital floor
was 800 cc a day. however, the patient remained grossly
volume overloaded and required more aggressive diuresis,
which was achieved upon transfer to the coronary care unit on
[**2167-8-8**]. While in the coronary care unit the
patient was continued on a Lasix and Natrecor drips. The
patient was also started on Zaroxolyn for diuresis. The
patient was diuresed approximately 8.5 liters during her four
day coronary care unit stay. She was transferred out of the
coronary care unit on [**2167-8-15**] in stable
condition without any signs and symptoms of congestive heart
failure. The patient's Natrecor and Zaroxolyn were
discontinued once the patient arrived to the floor and the
patient's Lasix dose, which changed to 120 mg PO q.d. In
addition, the patient was started on Aldactone 25 mg PO q.d.
The patient was maintained on her cardiac regimen including
aspirin, statin, Captopril 12.5 mg PO t.i.d.,
Digoxin 0.125 mg PO q.d. Although upon initial admission it
was thought that the patient may benefit from mitral valve
replacement repeat echocardiogram revealed that the patient's
mitral stenosis was not significant. It was thought that the
patient would rather benefit from the placement of
biventricular implantable cardiac defibrillator with pacing
ability to improve the patient's cardiac input. A
transesophageal echocardiogram performed on [**8-17**],
prior to placement of the biventricular ICD device, however,
revealed the presence of a left atrial appendage thrombus,
which precluded the cardioversion prior to placement of the
ICD device. In addition, the ICD device could not be tested
given the presence of the thrombus. The patient will need
the ICD device tested after four weeks of anticoagulation.
There were no complications after placement of the
biventricular device. The patient remained in atrial
fibrillation with ventricular packing at 85 beats per minute
upon discharge.
In addition, throughout the [**Hospital 228**] hospital stay, the
patient required heparin anticoagulation for her atrial
fibrillation, as well as for her apical akinesis.
The patient was restarted on a new heparin algorithm once the
ICD device was placed and the patient's Coumadin was again
restarted. The goal INR is 2.5 go 3.0. The patient will
require heparin until the patient's INR is greater than 2.0.
The patient will need her INR checked every week until a
repeat transesophageal echocardiogram is performed in six to
seven weeks.
In addition, given the patient's severe left ventricular
dysfunction, it was thought that the patient would highly
benefit from starting a beta blocker. The patient was placed
on Carvedilol 3.125 mg PO b.i.d. with food once her
biventricular ICD device was placed.
PULMONARY: The patient's COPD remained stable during her
hospital stay. She received Albuterol and Ipratropium
nebulizers as needed. The patient's oxygenation remained
stable at 98% to 99% on two liters upon discharge.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE: The patient had a urinalysis, which
showed trace leukocyte esterase and trace blood with 11 to 30
RBCs and 11 to 20 WBCs and few bacteria. However, urine
culture revealed mixed flora consistent with contamination.
Because the patient was not complaining of any dysuria or
urgently, the patient was not started on any antibiotic
treatment for a UTI. The patient was placed on Vancomycin
100 mg IV q.12h. after placement of the biventricular ICD,
and the patient will need this antibiotic changed to Keflex
500 mg PO q.6h. for six more doses total.
HEMATOLOGY: As noted above, the patient was maintained on IV
heparin drip, while she was in the hospital for her atrial
fibrillation and apical akinesis. The patient had been
restarted on Coumadin once her biventricular ICD was placed.
The patient will need IV heparin until the INR reaches
greater than 2.0. The patient's INR will need to be checked
every week until the repeat transesophageal echocardiogram
and ICD check in six to seven weeks. The goal INR is 2.5 to
3.0. The patient will be discharged on Coumadin 5 mg PO q.d.

Brief Hospital Course:
86 y/o f c/ CHF, CAD, ESRD on HD presenting from nursing facilty
with SOB and worsening cough x5 days admitted to [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] with
concern for respiratory distress. Hospital Course as below:
<br>
#. Respiratory Distress - sx improving as of am of [**4-16**], CXR
demonstrating retrocardiac opacity consistent with PNA and b/l
pleural effusions, with repeat CXR [**4-16**] showing improvement but
persistant R base findings - cont tx for PNA. Etiology likely
multifactorial in setting of CHF, ESRD on HD and PNA. Improved
after starting on Abx and particularly especially w/ regularly
scheduled HD with improved volume status. Overall, CXR
suggestive more of R-sided PNA after fluid taken out - plan to
cont abx. Noted events with increased SOB sx overnight [**4-16**] -
overall pt 1.6L positive for [**4-16**] - mildly increased fluid on
exam/CXR - with PNA process pt with lower threshold for fluid as
prior - in addition with noted upper resp secretions - declined
deep suctioning, but improved with mucolytics agents and with
min secretions as of [**4-18**]. Pt recieved HD [**4-18**] - doing well
following - plan to complete 8 day course of antiobiotic
(finishing [**4-22**]) - changed to po cefopodixime today, cont IV
vanc post HD).
- HD as below, (noted pt can only make scant urine)
- decreased fluid intake [**4-17**] - pt doing better
- change nebs to q6h PRN
- cont mucomyst nebs and guaifensin to [**Month/Year (2) **] w/ secretions for
next 2 days - can then change to just PRN
- origninally treated for for healthcare associated PNA,
especially as known MRSA, was treated with broad spectrum abx
with report failed to fluroquinolone prior - it was confirmed
that the abx was levoquin (started [**4-11**]) - based on this d/c
levoquin as of [**4-16**]
- unable to obtain adequate sputum cx - tx as above
<br>
#. Acute on Chronic systolic Heart Failure - EF 25% at baseline,
appears volume overloaded on exam (fluctuates with HD). W/ Known
pulm HTN likely exacerbated by underlying pulmonary infectious
process. Cardiac enxymes below baseline, BNP elevated.
- manage volume status w/ HD
- continue aspirin, statin, BB
- ruled out for ACS
- d/c to NH today
- ***noted pt will have extra volume taken of at HD tomorrow -
renal service here had communicated this with her outpt center
so will proceed as such tomorrow
<br>
#. ESRD on HD - M/W/F
- HD done yesterday, cont prior regime - with Vanc IV to be
given post HD AND po cefopodoxime 200mg to be given after (2
more doses pending for W and F HD
-as above, - ***noted pt will have extra volume taken of at HD
tomorrow - renal service here had communicated this with her
outpt center so will proceed as such tomorrow
<br>
#. Skin Breakdown - has heel and sacral decub on admission
- wound care to heel as recommended by wound care nurse - needs
close monitoring and follow-up - clears recs per d/c
summary/instructions
- wound care to sacral decub per recs
- alb noted 2.8
<br>
Vascular wounds:
Pt refused a thorough exam thus difficult to assess if she has
PVD wounds as per dtr. Dtr wanted pt to be seen by vascular
surgery while in house since she has an appt with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 2716**] on
Tuesday. As pt in-house on [**4-19**] - pt will be d/c and sent to
clinic appt and transported to NH following
<br>
#. h/o Afib - currently rhythm and rate controlled
- continue amiodarone, BB, aspirin
<br>
#. Depression - continue home mirtazipine/citalopram
<br>
# thrombocytopenia - mildly lower than mid 100s baseline - hep
sc d/c [**4-17**] - mildly improved on [**4-18**] to 98 from 83. Given
improvement - can be monitored more as outpt unless clinical
situation changes.
<br>
#. FEN - low Na/cardiac/renal diet, manage lytes with HD, low
phos diet

#. Code - FULL - Daughter [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] - [**Telephone/Fax (1) 106287**]
Note following discussion per nocturnist on admission to medical
floor [**4-16**]: Spoke to dtr for 30 [**Name2 (NI) **] on admission. Dtr
initially very upset to be called in the middle of the morning.
[**Name8 (MD) **] RN children have been abusive to ICU staff as well. Dtr
apologized for outburst and said that she understands that we
are trying to give her mother good care but she is an
overwhelmed caregiver.
.
With regards to code status- she was DNR/DNI but she had to
reverse it to have her sternal wound repaired. She thinks her
mother would not want to be a full code and would like to be

Admission Date: [**2156-1-9**] Discharge Date: [**2156-1-19**]
Date of Birth: [**2156-1-9**] Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: [**Doctor First Name 59180**] [**Known lastname 59181**] is a former
2.925 kilogram product of a full term uncomplicated gestation
pregnancy born to a 27 year old G-2, P-0 now 1 woman.
Prenatal screens - Blood type O positive, antibody negative,
Rubella immune, RPR nonreactive, hepatitis B surface antigen
negative, group beta Strep negative. Prior OB history was
notable for an ectopic pregnancy. There was a spontaneous
onset of labor and rupture of membranes occurred seven hours
prior to delivery. There was no maternal intrapartum fever.
The infant was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery. Apgar's
were 9 at one minute and 9 at five minutes. He transitioned
normally and was admitted to the newborn nursery with normal
vital signs. In the mother's room he was noted to develop
grunting respirations and poor color. He was transferred to
the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for further evaluation.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Temperature 99.4 rectally, heart rate
180, respiratory rate 40, oxygen saturation 96 percent.
General - Nondysmorphic term male in moderate respiratory
distress. HEENT - Anterior fontanelle soft and flat, left
parietal cephalohematoma, small positive red reflex
bilaterally, palate intact. Chest - Grunting respirations,
breath sounds audible bilaterally, negative transillumination
for pneumothorax. Cardiovascular - S1 and S2, grade II/VI
systolic murmur at the left sternal border, brachial and
femoral pulses palpable. Abdomen - Soft with no distension,
no masses. GU - Normal male. Neurologic - Tone normal,
activity level overall reduced but responsive to stimulation
with strong cry. Blood pressure 65/37 with a mean of 50.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Respiratory. [**Doctor First Name 59180**] continued with grunting
respirations. He was placed in nasal cannula O2 at 200 cc
to maintain oxygen saturations greater than 95 percent. A
chest x-ray showed a normal heart size with asymmetric
opacification predominantly right-sided suggestive of
pneumonia. Blood gases were within normal limits except
for some mild metabolic acidosis. The oxygen was
weaned to room air by day of life number four and [**Doctor First Name 59180**]
has remained on room air since that time.
2. Cardiovascular. With the presentation with poor
perfusion, there was initially suspicion for congenital heart
disease. Four limb blood pressures were within normal
limits and the EKG was within normal limits. Cardiac
silhouette on the chest x-ray was within normal limits.
He was presumed to be in septic shock and required normal
saline boluses and eventually dopamine at a maximum
administration of 17 mcg/kg/min to maintain
adequate perfusion and blood pressure. The dopamine was
weaned off by day of life number 4.
3. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition. This baby was
initially NPO and maintained on intravenous fluids. An
umbilical arterial catheter was placed for central access.
He required several boluses of sodium bicarbonate to treat
his metabolic acidosis. Enteral feeds were initiated on
day of life number 5 and gradually advanced. At the time
of discharge he is ad lib breastfeeding to taking Similac
formula. Weight on the day of discharge is 3.22 kilograms
with a length of 49.5 cm. Serum electrolytes were
monitored during the initial period of illness and were
within normal limits.
4. Infectious disease. A blood culture and complete blood
count were obtained upon admission to the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit. The white blood cell count was
remarkable for severe neutropenia with a count of 1,900
with a differential of 6 percent polys and 1 percent
bands. The blood culture grew gram positive cocci within
eight hours and was later identified as group B
Streptococcus. Intravenous ampicillin and gentamicin were
initiated after the initial blood culture was drawn.
[**Doctor First Name 59180**] received seven days of gentamicin, five days of
ampicillin which was then changed to Penicillin to
complete a ten day course. Repeat blood cultures on [**1-10**]
and [**2156-1-11**] were no growth. A lumbar puncture was
performed on day of life number three and had 1 red blood
cell and 8 white blood cells per high power field, normal
glucose and protein. CSF cultures were also no growth.
5. Hematological. Hematocrit on admission was 41.4 percent
and hematocrit repeated on day of life number three was
35.1 percent. The white blood cell count normalized over
the first two days of antibiotic treatment. Most recently
on day of life four the white blood cell count was 14,400
with a differential of 43 percent polys, 2 percent bands.
Initial platelet count was 280,000 and platelets fell to
107,000 on day of life number three and repeated on day of
life number four were stable at 119,000. All of the
abnormal CBC results are consistent with his group B
Strep sepsis.
6. Gastroenterology. Serum bilirubin's were monitored. Peak
serum bilirubin occurred day of life number two with a
total of 7.5/0.5 direct. He did not require any
treatment.
7. Neurology. [**Doctor First Name 59182**] neurological exam has been
unremarkable with only some initial mildly reduced activity and
irritablity which resolved over the course of the admission.
8. Sensory.
Audiology - Hearing screening was performed with automated
auditory brain stem responses. [**Doctor First Name 59180**] passed in both
ears.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: Good.
DISPOSITION: Home with parents. The primary pediatrician is
Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 449**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **], [**Hospital1 **], 26 City

meningeal enhancement is seen. No evidence of acute infarcts or
hydrocephalus.
[**2194-8-25**] Head CT:IMPRESSION: Expected post-surgical changes as
above, showing interval decrease in the volume of
pneumocephalus.
NOTE ADDED AT ATTENDING REVIEW: There has been a slight increase
in the volume of hemorrhage at the surgical site. There is not
enough to produce mass effect, but continued close follow up is
recommended. This information was paged to Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] at 10:20
am on [**2194-8-25**].
[**2194-8-26**] Head CT: IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of the brain with

Brief Hospital Course:
Mrs. [**Known lastname 634**] was admitted on [**8-22**] to udergo an elective
craniotomy for tumor resections. After a MRI for Operative
planning she was brought to the operating room. She was quite
hypertensive pre-operatively. Surgical course was uncomplicated.
Post operatively she was taken to the ICU for Q one hour neuro
checks and blood pressure control, which only required and
responed well to a few doses of hydralazine.
Her physical exam was noted to be a different post operatively,
particularly with right extremity weakness particularly in her
trap, delts and triceps. She also was noted to have distal
right lower extremity weakeness. Given the extensive edema that
was seen on CT we increased her decadron dose to 6mg Q 4 and
noted an improvement in her exam by POD #2.
Post operative Head CT and MRI were stable, revealing post
operative changes. She was safe and stable and transfer to the
floor was written for on [**8-23**].
PT and OT and were consulted and recommended discharge home with
outpatient PT. On [**8-24**] PM She developed right sided ascending
paresthesias that lasted a few minutes and left her right arm
plegic. A head CT was performed but stable. EEG monitoring was
ordered and Keppra was increased to 1500mg [**Hospital1 **].
On [**8-25**] her incision began oozing with large clots. Her SQH was
discontinued.
On [**8-26**] her neurological exam was slightly improved. A repeat
Head CT was obtained prior to the EEG leads being attached. This
was found to be stable. EEG monitoring was initiated.
On [**8-27**] EEG monitoring was continued. her neurological exam
remained stable. Preliminary [**Location (un) 1131**] on EEG is significant for
slowing but no definitive seizure activity. At this time it was
discontinued and an MRI with perfusion was requested.
On [**8-28**] she was again neurologically stable. MRI was completed
and she was fitted for an AFO brace to be worn when out of bed.
She was cleared at this time for discharge home with outpatient
PT.

the left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending;
saphenous vein grafts to diagonal, first and second obtuse
marginals, and posterior descending artery
[**2120-12-5**] Exploratory laparotomy, liver biopsy and
cholecystectomy
History of Present Illness:
This 66 year old woman has a history of hypertension,
hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Several weeks prior to admission,
she reported that she has had two episodes of chest pain and
shortness of breath. The first occurred while having to climb up
32 steps at a movie theatre during a fire drill. She describes
having very severe shortness of breath and a feeling that there
was no way she would make it to the top. The second episode
occurred while trying to walk [**State 101220**]to go from
her parking lot to the theatre. She again described having
severe shortness of breath and chest pains, resolving with
relaxation. She states that she recently saw her primary care
physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 3845**] who told her that her EKG looked
significantly different compared to the one from several years
back. She has since seen Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 33428**] [**Name (STitle) **] in consultation and
underwent stress testing that was positive for ischemia.
Subsequent cardiac catheterization on [**2120-11-21**] revealed three
vessel coronary artery disease and a reduced ejection fraction
without evidence of mitral regurgitation calculated at 34%.
Coronary angiography showed a codominant system; the LAD showed
a 80% stenosis of the midsegment followed by sequential 80%
stenosis in the distal segment, accompanied by a 80% proximal D1
stenosis; the LCX was a large, codominant vessel with an 80%
midsegment stenosis and 80% OM2 and 80% OM3 stenoses; the RCA
showed an 80% midsegment stenosis with a 100% distal occlusion
and left to right collaterals filling the codominant RPDA. Based
on the above results, she was referred for cardiac surgical
intervention. At the time of cardiac catheterization, she
underwent routine preoperative evaluation. She was cleared and
discharged home per cardiology. She now presents for elective
surgical coronary revascularization.

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted and underwent five vessel coronary artery
bypass grafting by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. The operation was uneventful and
she transferred to the CSRU for invasive monitoring. Within 24
hours, she awoke neurologically intact and was extubated. She
weaned from inotropic support without difficulty and transferred
to the SDU on postoperative day one. On postoperative day two,
she developed atrial fibrillation which was treated with
Amiodarone and beta blockade. Early on postoperative day three,
she complained of right sided abdominal pain and concomitantly
experienced altered mental status. Initial abdominal ultrasound
was unremarkable while a head CT scan found no evidence for
hemorrhage, or acute major vascular territorial infarction. She
rapidly declined clinically, becoming unresponsive and
hypotensive with increasing oxygen requirements and decreased
urine output. She emergently returned to the CSRU where she
underwent intubation and resuscitation. Monitoring lines were
placed. Amiodarone was discontinued. She required pressors and
was profoundly acidotic with an elevated lactate, low
bicarbonate and high white count. Her creatinine also rose.
Based upon this clinical picture and strong suspicion for
mesenteric ischemia, she was taken without delay to the
operating room. On [**2120-12-5**], an exploratory laparotomy, liver
biopsy and cholecystectomy was performed by Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **].
Operative findings were notable for severe liver and gall
bladder congestion - there was no evidence of mesenteric
ischemia as the large and small bowel appeared normal. Liver
pathology was consistent with ischemia while gall bladder
findings revealed mild chronic cholecystitis. She returned to
the CSRU for further invasive monitoring and medical management.
She was kept intubated and sedated while broad spectrum
antibiotics were continued. Her acute renal failure was
attributed to acute tubular necrosis secondary to hypoperfusion.
Her creatinine peaked to 5.1. The renal service was consulted.
She temporarily required CVVH. A renal ultrasound was
unremarkable. Her urine output and hyperkalemia gradually
improved with intravenous Lasix and Diurel. Her shock liver
gradually improved as well. During her hospitalization, her AST
and ALT peaked at 6339 and [**Numeric Identifier 101221**]; LDH and Alk Phos peaked at
[**Numeric Identifier 101222**] and 276; and Total bili peaked at 2.9. A repeat abdominal
ultrasound on [**12-6**] remained unremarkable. She
concomitantly continued to experience episodes of atrial
fibrillation and sinus bradycardia. Several cardioversions were
attempted, but unsuccessful. Pronestyl and Procainamide
therapies were eventually started in attempts to maintain a
normal sinus rhythm. She was eventually started on tube feedings
for nutritional support. Over several days, her clinical status
improved. By postoperative day 10, she weaned from sedation and
was re-extubated without incident. She remained neurologically
intact and weaned from pressor support without difficulty. Her
renal and liver function continued to improve. She maintained
mostly a normal sinus rhythm with a rate in the 60-70's but
continued to experience paroxsymal atrial fibrillation. Warfarin
was eventually initiated. Procain and NAPA levels were monitored
closely and titrated accordingly while serial ECGs were obtained
to assess QTc interval. Tube feedings were eventually
discontinued and her diet was slowly advanced as tolerated. On
postoperative day 15, she returned to the SDU. Antibiotics were
empirically continued. Medical therapy was optimized and
Warfarin was dosed for a goal INR around 1.5 - 2.0. She
continued to work with physical therapy and make clinical
improvements. Due to poor IV access, a double lumen PICC line
was temporarily placed in her right upper arm. She was
eventually cleared for discharge to rehab on postoperative day
18. At discharge, her BP was 140-150/70-80 with a HR of 60-70
in sinus rhythm with oxygen saturations of 97% on room. Her
sternotomy and laparotomy incisions appeared clean and dry while
her bilateral lower extremity incisions appeared moderately
erythematous and slightly warm to touch. There was also pitting
edema. Given concern for wound infection/cellulitis, the lower
leg staples were removed just prior to discharge and she will
need to continue on antibiotic therapy. Of note, given her
history of MRSA, she will need to remain on contact precautions.
In addition, Warfarin at discharge will continue to be on hold
for a supratherapeutic INR.

Brief Hospital Course:
84 y.o woman with history of IMI s/p PCI to RCA in '[**56**], here
with unstable angina and dyspnea now s/p cardiac catherization
and evidence of 3 vessel disease.
#Coronary artery disease - the patient underwent cardiac
catherization that showed diffuse disease that was most amenable
to re-vascularization by CABG. Cardiac surgery was consulted
and pre-operative carotid ultrasounds, transthoracic echo was
obtained. The patient was maintained on IV heparin due to her
unstable angina and underwent CABG on [**2162-1-26**]. See operative
note for full details. She was transferred to the intensive
care unit on neosynephrine and propofol in stable condition.
She was weaned from all vasoactive medication and extubated
without incident. She was transferred to the step down unit.
Chest tubes and pacing wires were removed per caridac surgery
protocol. There was a small medial apical left pneumothorax
seen on chest xray after chest tubes were pulled, which was
stable at the time of discharge. Her foley had to be reinserted
due to failure to void but the second attempt of removal was
successful. Physical therapy continued to work with her to
increase strength and endurance. On post operative day #6 she
was tolerating a full oral diet, her incisions were healing well
and she was ambulating with assistance. She was felt safe for
discharge home with VNA services at this time. The patient
remained in sinus rhythm throughout the hospital course with
brief bursts of a-fib post-operatively. Per request of her
cardiologist, Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], anti-coagulation with coumadin was
initiated.

[**Hospital1 18**] ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY REPORT
Echocardiographic Measurements
Results Measurements Normal Range
Left Ventricle - Ejection Fraction: >= 55% >= 55%
Findings
LEFT VENTRICLE: Suboptimal technical quality, a focal LV wall
motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall normal LVEF
(>55%).
RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion.
AORTIC VALVE: Aortic valve not well seen.
MITRAL VALVE: Mild (1+) MR.
PERICARDIUM: No pericardial effusion.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - bandages,
defibrillator pads or electrodes.
Conclusions
Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
is not well seen. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There
is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Grossly preserved biventricular systolic function.
No pericardial effusion.
Brief Hospital Course:
He was admitted to the Trauma Service and taken directly to the
operating room because of hemodynamic instability where he
underwent an exploratory laparotomy and a pericardial window was
created. He was found to have a 2 cm liver laceration. He was
taken to the ICU for hypotension and tachycardia ; he was found
to have a Grade II liver laceration. Post operatively he was
taken to the Trauma ICU where he remained intubated and sedated.
Upon initial admission to the ICU he remained hypotensive and
tachycardia; he received IVF and 6 units of PRBCs (his Hct on
[**2-11**] was 22 and on [**2-13**] 24.8).
Cardiology was also consulted for evaluation and management of
ST elevations. Recommendations included to monitor serial
enzymes and if remained stable no need to continue cycling. Also
follow daily ECG and it was felt that because patient was
without signs of pericarditis that no further treatment was
warranted. If he did develop any signs of pericarditis then
NSAID's would be treatment. An ECHO was also done which showed
grossly preserved biventricular systolic function and no
pericardial effusion. He was noted with increase in his
diastolic blood pressure without any other associated symptoms
such as headache, dizziness or chest pain. Lopressor was started
for this.
On [**2-7**], podiatry was consulted for left foot ulcer. Upon removal
of hyperkeratotic tissue, there was a < 1cm in diameter
ulceration noted to the plantar aspect of the 2nd metatarsal
head tracking dorsally into the 1st and 2nd interspace and 2nd
and 3rd
MPJs. Erythema noted along the medial longitudinal arch as well
as dorsally to the level of the midfoot. Synovial fluid was
drained and sent for culture. The wound probed to skin but not
to bone; left foot xray done and without evidence of
osteomyelitis. Empirical Vancomycin and Zosyn were started. He
was later changed to Levofloxacin 500 mg for a total of 14 days.
His sedation was weaned and eventually he was extubated and was
transferred to the floor on [**2-9**]. He has made significant gains
in terms of his hemodynamic stability and his functional
abilities. He has worked with Physical and Occupational therapy
for ambulation and is independent with his walker. He is on a
regular diet and is tolerating this without any difficulties.
His current vitals signs are T 98.9 BP 122/67 HR 74 (90 w/
activity then back down to 70's) room air sats 95%. His
hematocrit as mentioned previously has run low and has been
followed closely along with other hemodynamic monitoring. There
are no signs of any active bleeding at this time. He failed an
initial voiding trial and the Foley was replaced and he was
started on Flomax. The Foley should remain in place for at least
another several days before another voiding trial is initiated.
For pain control he is receiving Tylenol and prn Dilaudid. His
abdominal staples remain in place, wound edges are well
approximated. The staples will need to be removed in [**10-19**] days
post procedure date.

CT ABDOMEN W/O CONTRAST; CT PELVIS W/O CONTRAST
Reason: eval colitis, eval obstruction. - oral contrast only.
Field of view: 36
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
76 year old woman with hx of Paget's dz of rectum, chronic
incontinence now with no stool output past 3days.
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
eval colitis, eval obstruction. - oral contrast only.
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
INDICATION: 76-year-old female with history of Paget's disease
of the rectum and chronic incontinence.
COMPARISONS: None.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were obtained from the thoracic
inlet through the pubic symphysis without intravenous contrast.
Multiplanar reconstructions were performed.
CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: No pulmonary nodules, opacities
or pleural effusions are present at the lung bases. There are
extensive coronary artery calcifications. Evaluation of the
visceral organs is limited secondary to lack of intravenous
contrast. Allowing for this factor, the liver, pancreas, spleen
and adrenal glands appear grossly normal. There is moderate
right hydronephrosis with hydroureter extending from the renal
pelvis to the level of the pelvic inlet. No definite obstructing
calculi or mass is identified. Extensive gas and stool is seen
within mildly dilated loops of large bowel. There is no evidence
of bowel wall thickening, pneumatosis or intraperitoneal air.
There is extensive atherosclerosis involving the abdominal aorta
and its branches. No intraperitoneal fluid is present. A normal
appendix is seen in the right lower quadrant. No mesenteric or
retroperitoneal lymph nodes are pathologically enlarged.
CT PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: A large amount of stool and air is
seen within the sigmoid colon with mild wall thickening.
Extensive soft tissue density is seen in the region of the
rectum without evidence of rectal stool or air. Several suture
lines are seen within the lower pelvis. A Foley catheter is seen
within a partially distended bladder. Air within the bladder is
likely iatrogenic. There is no free pelvic fluid. There are
several borderline enlarged left inguinal lymph nodes.
BONE WINDOWS: No suspicious osteolytic or sclerotic lesions are
identified. There are significant degenerative changes within
the lower lumbar spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Coronary artery calcifications.
2. Right hydronephrosis and hydroureter without evidence of
obstructing calculi or mass.
3. Air and stool seen within dilated loops of large bowel.
Moderate soft tissue density is seen involving the rectum. Air
is not definitely seen in the rectum and obstruction at this
level cannot be excluded. Correlation with colonoscopy/flex
sigmoidoscopy is recommended.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 17832**] was admitted to the hospital on [**2199-7-6**]. That
same day, she underwent a diverting colostomy for anal stricture
due to Paget's disease of the anus. In the PACU, post-op, she
had low urine output, for which she received a total of 2 L of
bolused fluids. Her urine output remained marginal, and then
dropped off again. She then had an EKG, and Drs. [**Last Name (STitle) **] and
[**Name5 (PTitle) **] were informed. The on-call cardiologist was contact[**Name (NI) **] and
became involved. Ms. [**Known lastname 17832**] was then taken to the
catheterization suite, where she was diagnosed with a complete
right coronary artery occlusion with collateralization and a
mid- to high-grade occlusion of the left circumflex artery. She
was not anticoagulated, as both lesions appeared chronic in
nature.
She was followed in the ICU until HD3, observed to be stable,
and then transferred to the floor.
The ostomy nurse began teaching Ms. [**Known lastname 17832**] to change and
care for her stoma.
On hospital day 7, she experienced one bout of nausea with
vomiting. She vomited 200 cc, but had flatus and bowel sounds.
On hospital day 8, she was tolerating a regular diet, she had
passed much of the residual stool in her colon, and her incision
appeared clean, dry and intact. She was discharged to her home
in good condition with strong family support.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Chest pain
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is an 82 year old gentleman
with a history of coronary artery disease, status post
coronary artery bypass graft times three in [**2150**], inferior
myocardial infarction in [**2159**], status post percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty at [**Hospital 36653**] Clinic in [**2158**],
who is transferred from an outside hospital for chest pain,
left arm numbness and nausea. The patient noted the night
before admission and the day of admission chest pain across
his chest associated with left arm numbness and nausea. He
denied shortness of breath or diaphoresis. His pain was
noted by daughter who had taken him home from the nursing
home for lunch and took him immediately back to the nursing
home when he told her that he had chest pain. The patient is
unsure of how long the chest pain lasted the day before
admission but lasted one to two hours on the day of
admission. The patient is an extremely poor historian
secondary to his parkinsonian's dementia.
Electrocardiogram on presentation showed [**Street Address(2) 4793**] elevations
in 3, AVF and downsloping ST depression in precordial leads
V4 through V6. His initial CPK was 30 and troponin was
negative. He was started on nitroglycerin GTT, heparin GTT,
Integrilin and Lopressor and was transferred to [**Hospital6 1760**] for possible catheterization
at an outside hospital.
On presentation to the Emergency Department at [**Hospital6 1760**] he was chest pain free and
was maintained on the same GTT. In the AM while still in the
Emergency Department the patient had more chest pains and
associated shortness of breath and was given intravenous
Lasix. He was given steroids, Zantac and Benadryl for
shellfish allergy and was taken to the Catheterization
Laboratory. Complicated catheterization required 300 cc of
dye in order to visualize the graft. PCW 30, PA saturation
76%, V wave 35, right atrial pressure 12, right ventricular
pressure 64/8, left ventricular end diastolic pressure 35.
The patient had no significant left main disease but left
anterior descending was occluded at the origin and severe
proximal stenosis at the origin of obtuse marginal 1 was
noted. Also mid left circumflex occlusion and proximal
occlusion of right coronary artery. In terms of the
patient's graft, the saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal
was patent with complex severe distal stenosis, the saphenous
vein graft to left anterior descending was patent was 90%
distal stenosis with thrombus and the saphenous vein graft to
right coronary artery has 90% proximal stenosis with
thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed
demonstrating an ejection fraction of 20 to 30% with global
reduction of left ventricular systolic function. The inferior
wall was noted to be akinetic and trace aortic regurgitation
was mild 11+ mitral regurgitation was noted. The patient was
transferred out of the catheterization laboratory to the
Coronary Care Unit for observation and consideration of
further options.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: 1. Coronary artery disease status

the Emergency Room, temperature 90.6, pulse 79, blood
pressure 157/86, respiratory rate 16, 95% on 2 liters. In
general this is a thin elderly male in no acute distress.
Oropharynx is benign. Pupils are equally round, and reactive
to light and accommodation. Pupils 2 mm. Heart is regular
rate and rhythm with S1 and S2, no murmurs, rubs or gallops
noted. Jugulovenous pressure at 4 cm. Lungs are clear to
auscultation bilaterally. Abdomen is soft, nontender,
nondistended with good bowel sounds. Extremities with 2+
dorsalis pedis pulses.
LABORATORY DATA: Notable laboratory data on admission are
BUN 18, creatinine 1.1, white blood cells 6.1 with 61
neutrophils, 23 lymphocytes, hematocrit 43, platelets 214.
At an outside hospital CK is 30 and troponin is negative.
Bilirubin is slightly elevated at 1.1, but ALT 25, AST 13,

2, 3 and AVF, [**Street Address(2) 4793**] elevations in 3 and AVF, [**Street Address(2) 1766**]
depressions in V2, V3 and downsloping ST depressions in V4
through V6 which at [**Hospital6 256**] was
similar. Chest x-ray demonstrated unusual tracheal course
secondary to a possible thyroid mass and some emphysematous
changes.
HOSPITAL COURSE: 1. Cardiovascular - A. Ischemia, the
patient proceeded to rule in for myocardial infarction with
CKs of 192, 1122, 1362, 1131, and then proceeded to taper
down to 739, 127 on [**1-31**]. The patient underwent
catheterization with results as above and was transferred to
Coronary Care Unit without intervention. Discussion ensued
with family and patient who decided that high risk PCI was
not desirable at this time and the patient should be
medically managed. The patient was continued on Beta
blocker, ACE inhibitor and Aspirin therapy as well as Plavix
q. day. Lipitor and Imdur were continued and the patient
underwent 48 hour course of Integrilin. Lopressor and ACE
inhibitor were titrated up as an inpatient and will continue
to be titrated up as an outpatient as the patient tolerates.
B. Pump, the patient was noted to have an ejection fraction
of 20% on transthoracic echocardiography and will continue
medical management. Lasix was begun and the patient will
continue Captopril and Digoxin.
C. Rhythm, the patient remained in normal sinus rhythm with
occasional runs of premature ventricular contractions but no
more than 3 at a time were noted. Telemetry was continued
during this hospitalization.
2. Neurological - The patient with a history of Parkinson's
with associated symptoms of dementia. Aricept and Ropinirole
were continued throughout this hospitalization with no
issues.
3. Code Status - The patient is Do-Not-Resuscitate,
Do-Not-Intubate. This status was temporarily suspended
during the patient's catheterization but was reinstated in
the post procedure period.
4. Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - The patient was
maintained on cardiac diet during this admission with no
further issues.
DISPOSITION: The patient will be discharged to
rehabilitation once his medical management is optimized and a
rehabilitation bed is available.

Chest x-ray: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Finding
consistent with known ascending aortic aneurysm.
HOSPITAL COURSE: As stated previously, the patient was a
direct admission to the operating room. Please see the
operative report for full details. In summary, the patient
had Bentall procedure with repair of ascending aortic
aneurysm with a number 28 wave graft and a number 30 conduit
and aortic valve replacement and a number 27 St. [**Male First Name (un) 923**]
mechanical valve and a PDA ligation. Patient's
cardiopulmonary bypass time was 243 minutes with a cross-
clamp time of 211 minutes. Patient was transferred from the
operating room to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. At
the time of transfer, the patient was in sinus rhythm at 78
beats per minute with a CVP of 12 and a PAD of 16. He was on
Neo-Synephrine drip at 0.5 mcg/kg/minute and propofol at 20
mcg/kg/minute as well as milrinone infusion.
Patient did well in the immediate postoperative period. His
anesthesia was reversed. During the course of the
postoperative day and through that evening, he was weaned
from an IMV to CPAP. He remained intubated overnight with
CPAP pressure support ventilation. He continued to do well
on the morning of postoperative day one and wean was
continued to CPAP 5 and 5. With that, the patient became
acutely hypotensive and was begun on a Nipride infusion
following which the patient was successfully extubated.
Over the next several days, the patient continued to struggle
from a respiratory standpoint complaining of shortness of
breath and sporadically desaturating. By the 7th, he
continued to complain of increasing shortness of breath. He
had a chest x-ray that showed pleural effusion, following
which a chest tube was placed and the effusion was drained
for approximately 400 cc. However, following that, the
patient continued to complain of shortness of breath and
therefore an echocardiogram was done to assess for a
pericardial effusion. An echocardiogram at that time showed
a small to moderate size pericardial effusion. Repeat
echocardiogram done on the 10th showed 3 cm circumferential
effusion following which the patient went to the Cath Lab and
had a pericardial tap for 650 cc.
On the 11th, the patient continued to complain of shortness
of breath. Bronchoscopy done at that time showed left lower
lobe compression with airway edema. Patient was reintubated
following bronchoscopy secondary to respiratory distress at
that time. A Swan-Ganz line was placed as well as a femoral
A-line and Interventional Pulmonology was consulted.
On [**9-21**], the patient had periodic episodes of
ventricular tachycardia. He was started on amiodarone and
cardioverted, and Electrophysiology was consulted. Following
cardioversion, the patient had alternating periods of A-V
block and SVT rhythm. EP service placed a temporary pacing
wire. Patient was returned to the Cath Lab at that time, and
recatheterized, which showed no apparent CAD. An ablation
was done by the Electrophysiology service at that time as
well.
On the 13th, the patient had an elevated white blood cell
count and a fever. Infectious Diseases were consulted. She
was returned to the operating room for mediastinal washout
and placement of permanent bipolar pacing leads. Patient
tolerated this operation well and was transferred back to the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. Please see the OR report
for full details.
Over the next week, the patient was hemodynamically stable.
Several attempts were made to wean the patient from the
ventilator all unsuccessfully. Interventional Pulmonology
continued to consult on the patient and on the [**9-29**], the patient was brought back to the operating room at
which time tracheal and left main stents were placed.
On the 21st, the patient had a follow-up bronchoscopy and was
successfully extubated. He did well over the next several
days. Passed a swallow test, and on the 24th, he was again
bronched as a followup, at which time copious secretions were
removed. Bronch also showed that the patient had migration
of the tracheal stent and he was brought again to the
operating room at which time the tracheal stent was removed,
and he was reintubated. The patient did well during this
procedure, and was transferred back to the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit.
Again on the following day, the patient was bronched in the
morning. It was shown that he had patent airways, and
following the bronchoscopy, he was successfully extubated.
On the [**10-5**], the patient had a PICC line placed for
antibiotics as well as blood draws, and on the [**10-6**], he was transferred from the Cardiothoracic Intensive
Care Unit to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 2 for continuing postoperative care and
cardiac rehabilitation.
Over the next week, the patient's activity level was advanced
with the assistance of the nursing staff and Physical
Therapy. His anticoagulation doses were adjusted to bring
his INR up to approach his therapeutic range of [**4-12**].5. At
this time it is anticipated that he will be ready for
discharge in the next 1-2 days.
Vital signs: Temperature 98.3, heart rate 87 A sensed, V
paced. Blood pressure 107/65, respiratory rate 24, and O2
saturation 97 percent on room air. Weight at this time is
94.7 kg. At time of admission, it was 104.5 kg.
Laboratory data on the day of dictation: White count 10.3,
hematocrit is 32.1, platelets 587. PT 16, PTT 87.7. INR
1.6. Potassium 4.7, BUN 13, creatinine 1.0.
Physical exam: Neurologically: Alert and oriented times
three, moves all extremities, and follows commands.

INDICATIONS: Mrs. [**Known lastname 73270**] was seen in consultation as well
as for a flexible bronchoscopy in the pulmonary procedure
unit on [**2170-2-26**]. She is a 79-year-old woman with a
past history of right hilar nonsmall cell cancer consistent
with adenocarcinoma, concurrent radiation and completed
treatment in [**2169-5-28**]. Since that time she has been
relatively well. She recently developed a call associated
with purulent phlegm as well as a febrile state. She was
admitted to the hospital in [**Hospital1 1562**] and then transferred to
the [**Hospital1 69**] for evaluation. She
was transferred from nursing unit in stable condition. She
was placed respiratory and hemodynamic monitoring.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: Once on monitoring she was
administered 2 mg of Darvon and 50 mcg fentanyl for IV
sedation. She was topicalized with 1% Xylocaine. Following
topicalization, the adult Olympus bronchoscope was passed via
the oral route down to the level of the vocal cords. The
vocal cords appeared normal. The vocal cords were topicalized
with 1% Xylocaine. Following this, the bronchoscope was
passed through the vocal cords and into the trachea. The
trachea appeared normal. The bronchoscope was advanced down
to the level of the right bronchial tree. All the segments
and subsegments of the right bronchial's were visualized in
sequence.
Of note, there was circumferential extrinsic compression of
the bronchi of the right upper lobe. There was only the
posterior segment of the right upper lobe which did appear to
remain even somewhat patent. Unfortunately, it was not
possible to fully intubate even the segment. The remainder of
the right bronchial tube was inspected and appeared normal.
The left bronchial tube was visualized and all appeared
normal.
120 ml of sterile saline were instilled into the residual
right upper lobe bronchus and 30 ml were aspirated back.
Specimens were sent for cytology as well for microbiology
including fungal studies.
The patient initially tolerated the procedure well, however
during the recovery she developed profound hypercapnia with
pCO2 rising to 90 and pH associated with this at 711. She
was bag mask ventilated in order to try to drive down her
CO2. She was transferred to the ICU to the MICU-7 for BIPAP
in order to blow off her CO2. There was a suggestion on her
desk that she has a CO2 retainer although this was not known
preprocedure. Likely the further elevation of the CO2 was on
the basis of her medications.
The patient was stable at the time of transfer. The results
of the bronchoalveolar lavage are pending.
[**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Name8 (MD) **], M.D. [**MD Number(2) 73271**]
Brief Hospital Course:
RUL Pneumonia: The patient was initially transferred to [**Hospital1 18**]
for consideration of a RUL stent to alleviate what was initially
thought to be a post-obstructive pneumonia. The patient
tolerated the initial bronchoscopy well but shortly after the
patient developed hypoxia and hypercarbia, likely a side effect
of the sedation used. She was transferred to the MICU for BiPAP.
She rapidly improved with resolution of her hypercarbia and
significant improvement in her hypoxia within 12 hours. She was
then transferred to the floor in stable condition. The
interventional pulmonary service felt that a stent would not be
beneficial in her. They felt it would block off more bronchioles
than it would open and that the RUL was essentially unsalvagable
given the large cavitary lesion seen on CT. There is also high
suspicion of a small bronchopleural fistula, given the return of
mesothelial cells on the BAL. However, the patient did not show
any signs pneumothorax on exam or CXR. She will require close
monitoring for this complication. In discussion with
interventional pulmonary, it was decided not to pursue drainage
of the cavity given the concern for cancer recurrence and the
creation of a non-healing tract from the puncture site, greatly
increasing her pneumothorax risk. It was decided that she would
complete 6 weeks of antibiotics to treat her cavitary pneumonia.
A BAL showed no AFB on concentrated smear, ruling out TB. The
culture returned with MSSA. The patient was discharged on a 6
week course of Augmentin. She will follow up with her PCP and
oncologist and receive a repeat CT scan after completion of her
antibiotic course to evaluate for possible progression of her
lung cancer. She will also return to interventional pulmonary
clinic with her CT in hand for follow up of her possible
bronchopleural fistula.
Non-small cell lung cancer: The patient was diagnosed with stage
IIIb NSCLC in [**4-4**] with chemo/rads treatment completed in [**6-4**].
Her last PET/CT scan in [**12-5**] showed now growth in the tumor per
the patient. It is unclear at this time to what extent this RUL
process represents a recurrence of her lung cancer as the
infectious process is clouding the imaging. However, the BAL did
not return any malignant cells. In discussion with her primary
oncologist, it was decided not to actively pursue cancer
treatment at this time until the infectious process is resolved.
She will follow up with her oncologist and should receive a
repeat CT scan after completion of her 6 week course of
antibiotics. Further cancer treatment will be discussed at this
time. She will also follow up with the intervential pulmonary
clinic after the completion of her six week antibiotic course to
evaluate for interval improvement.
HTN: The patient was initially hypertensive on presentation with
SBPs in the 170s with associated anxiety. She was continued on
her outpatient naldolol and her lisinopril was uptitrated with
good effect. Her anxiety was treated with very small doses of
Ativan with good effect.
Back/Scapula pain: The patient is s/p surgical correction of a
cervical spinal body fracture in [**1-5**] with residual chronic
neck/back/scapula pain. The pain was initially controlled with
motrin was noted to be limited by her back pain by physical
therapy. Her pain was then controlled with low dose oxycontin
with percocet for break through pain.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Right upper lobe pneumonia
Non-small cell lung cancer
Hypertension
Discharge Condition:
All vital signs stable, afebrile, on room air
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted with a right upper lobe pneumonia. This
pneumonia was severe enough to destroy some of your lung and
form a cavity. The interventional pulmonologists used a scope to
look into your lungs and take samples for culture. They felt
that you would not benefit from a stent as it would probably
close off more airways than it opened. Furthermore, draining the
cavity with a needle from the outside would leave a non-healing
hole that would greatly increase your risk for a collapsed lung.
The best course of action is to take 6 weeks of antibiotics to
treat the pneumonia and then re-evaluate the lung with another
CT scan. You should coordinate this with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 27009**]. You will
also need to follow up with the interventional pulmonologists
here. Please bring the CD of the CT scan with you to this visit.
Please take all of your medications as prescribed. Please make
all of your recommended follow up appointments.
Please call your doctor or return to the emergency room if you
experience worsening shortness of breath, chest pain, fevers,
chills, severe lightheadedness or any other symptom that
concerns you.
Followup Instructions:
Please schedule a follow up appointment with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 69694**] at
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 69695**] in the next 2-4 weeks.
Please call Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 27009**] at [**Telephone/Fax (1) 66058**] to schedule a follow up
appointment in the next 1-3 weeks. Please schedule a CT scan of
your chest after 6wks.
Please call the Pulmonary Clinic at ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 513**] to schedule
an appointment after you finish your 6 weeks of antibiotics.
Please bring the CD of your CT scan to this visit

Studies:
[**2135-8-30**] CT Abd & pelvis w/ and w/o contrast IMPRESSION:
1. Right kidney pyelonephritis, currently uncomplicated.
2. Multiple low-density lesions in the left kidney, the largest
measuring 6 x 5 cm, most likely renal cysts.
3. Vascular atherosclerotic calcifications.
4. Small liver cysts, too small to characterize.
.
[**2135-8-31**] AP CXR IMPRESSION:
1. Signs of old TB.
2. New pneumonia in the right middle and lower lung.
3. Interstitial pulmonary edema.
.
[**2135-9-1**] TT ECHO Conclusions
The left atrium is elongated. The estimated right atrial
pressure is 0-10mmHg. Left 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 ascending aorta is mildly dilated.
The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic
stenosis is not present. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. Mild (1+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+] tricuspid
regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mildly dilated right ventricle with preserved
biventricular systolic function. Mild aortic regurgitation.
Moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Moderate pulmonary
hypertension.
These findings are most consistent with chronic pulmonary
disease (parenchymal, vascular, etc.)
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable
for review) of [**2132-2-29**], left ventricular function appears
normal, however there is now pulmonary hypertension and RV is
slightly dilated.
.
[**2135-9-2**] CXR: In comparison with the study of [**9-1**], there is
little interval change. Again, there is extensive pleural
calcification with opacification in the right apex and
retraction of the trachea to this side, consistent with old
tuberculosis and consequent volume loss in the right upper lobe.
Continued interstitial and alveolar edema. The opacifications in
the right mid and lower lung zones may be slightly improved.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
72 year old female with afib, bronchiectasis, past breast cancer
s/p surgery/radiation presenting with high fevers, chills, RLQ
pain and CVA tenderness consistent with pyelonephritis.
.
1. Pyelonephritis: The patient's presentation with high fevers,
chills, RLQ abd pain right-sided CVA tenderness, foul smelling
urine, and lekocytosis and her CT scan were all consistent with
pyelonephritis. Blood cultures x2 were sent and were negative.
Her urine culture grew Klebsiella Pneumonia sensitive to
ciprofloxacin. She was treated with ceftriaxone empirically in
the ED, but was switched to PO levofloxacin on admission to the
floor due to diarrhea (see below).
.
2. Dyspnea: On the morning of [**9-1**], the patient developed
significant shortness of breath, requiring 6L O2 to maintain a
saturation above 90 (from baseline 92% RA). A CXR was obtained
and showed bilteral patchy infiltrates, consistent with PNA or
pulmonary edema. An echo showed normal LVEF, new pulmonary
hypertension, and slight RV dilation. There was no mention of
diastolic dysfunction. There was normal ventricular
contractility. The patient was transferred to the ICU, and
Cefipime 2g IV q24h was added for possible psuedomonal
infection. Levofloxacin was changed to 750mg IV q48h. The
patient was also given 20mg IV lasix, with significant
improvement in subjective symptoms. She was returned to CC7
during the afternoon on [**9-2**], though still required 6L to
maintain an O2 saturation of 94%, but with improved subjective
dyspnea. Her WBC count began to trend downward on [**9-3**]
(17.4->15.8), the patient became afebrile, and was weaned from
O2. She received a second dose of 20mg Lasix on the evening of
[**9-2**], and was -1L that day. The patient was initially fluid
restricted in the ICU and on admission to the floor, but fluid
restriction was removed on [**9-3**] AM given clinical improvement.
Cepefime was discontinued on [**9-3**] due to low probability of
pseudomonal infection. On the day of discharge, the patient no
longer required supplemental oxygen to maintain her sats above
90% and she was discharged on levofloxacin through [**2135-9-12**] to
finish a 14 day course of antibiotics.
.
3. Diarrhea: After receiving IV ceftriaxone in the ED for
treatment of pyelonephritis, the patient experienced significant
diarrhea with 12-14 bowel movements during the night, for which
she was unable to reach the comode. Stool culture was negative
for C. Diff, Campylobacter, Shigella, Salmonella. Symptoms
resolved once ceftriaxone was discontinued. The patient remained
without diarrhea for remainder of the hospital stay.
.
4. Hypertension: The patient was initially hypotensive at 94/60
on admission without blood pressure medications. This was likely
secondary to her severe infection. Her blood pressure improved
quickly, and by discharge she was normotensive and had resumed
atenolol. Blood cultures X2 from [**8-30**] showed no growth.
.
5. Hypokalemia: The patient became hypokalemic to 3.2 after IVF
were given for diarrhea. She was repleted with 80mEq IV
potassium in 1L NS with improvement in potassium to 3.8. The
patient became hypokalemic again (3.1) after receiving lasix in
the ICU, and was repleted with 80mEq PO upon arrival to the
floor, with improvement to 3.8. She had no further difficulties
maintaining her potassium level.
.
6. Atrial fibrillation: The patient's afib remained stable. She
was continued on her home medications consisting of both
amiodarone and atenolol. She had a supratherapeutic INR on
admission (4.4) and her was held. On addition of a
flouroquinolone for treatment of a UTI, the patient's INR rose
acutely to 9.8. She was given 1mg IV Vitamin K to reverse
anticoagulation on [**9-2**] AM. Her INR was 2.1 on [**9-3**], and she was
restarted on Coumadin at 2mg DAILY ([**2-9**] home dose).

Pyelonephritis
Dyspnea
Secondary Diagnoses:
Diarrhea
Hypokalemia
Discharge Condition:
Stable, breathing comfortably on room air
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital with a fever and kidney
infection and received antibiotics to treat the infection. You
should continue to take the antibiotic levofloxacin through
[**Last Name (LF) 766**], [**9-12**] to finish treating the infection.
Antibiotics can affect the levels of your coumdin. Your dose
has been reduced from 4 mg to 2 mg. A nurse will come and draw
your blood to check your INR on Wednesday. Your dose may need to
be adjusted.
While you were hospitalized you also became short of breath and
stayed briefly in the ICU. Your breathing improved and you no
longer require supplemental oxygen therapy. However, because of
your history of lung disease, you should establish care with a
pulmonologist. Please see below for recommendations by Dr.
[**Last Name (STitle) **].
You should also attend a follow-up appointment with your primary
care physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) 2903**], as listed below.
Because you had such a severe infection, you should take it easy
and not do anything strenuous for the next week to allow your
body to heal. Your lung and kidney function should return to
where they were before your infection, but it will take some
time for them to do so.
If you have any additional fevers, shortness of breath,
difficulty urinating, or any other concerning symptoms, you
should call your physician or return to the hospital.
Followup Instructions:
Primary care follow-up with Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 2903**] on [**2135-9-12**]
at 2:15 PM. Phone: [**Telephone/Fax (1) 2205**]
You should establish care with a pulmonologist. The following

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was initially seen in the ED for obstructive
symptoms. While in the ED he became hypotensive and his Hct was
found to have dropped. He also had a large bloody BM. He was
transfused 1u PRBC in the ED and admitted to the SICU. He was
tranfused 5 more units of PRBC overnight, as well as 3u FFP and
1u platelets. He underwent a tagged RBC scan overnight which
failed to demonstrate a source of bleeding. GI was consulted
overnight and declined to scope him until the next day. After
that his Hct was stable. He underwent flexible sigmoidoscopy
and EGD on HD2 ([**2115-7-28**]), the results of which are listed below.
He had no further bloody BM. He was started on clears on HD3
and advanced to a regular diet on HD4. He was discharged on HD4
([**2115-7-30**]).
CT A/P ([**2115-7-27**]) - Findings compatible with a small-bowel
obstruction, with transition point difficult to ascertain,
though likely in the left mid abdomen. Radiopaque densities seen
within the cecum are likely related to ingested
material. Cholelithiasis and a mildly distended gallbladder with
no secondary signs
of cholecystitis. Anterior abdominal wall hernia containing fat
though with associated stranding suggesting inflammatory change.
GI Bleeding Study ([**2115-7-27**]) - No definite evidence of GI bleed.
However, there is a questionable mild area of uptake in the
rectum on the lateral view, and active bleed cannot be entirely
excluded.
Sigmoidoscopy ([**2115-7-28**]) - Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon.
Normal mucosa in the sigmoid colon. Stigmata of recent bleeding
was seen up to the distal sigmoid colon. The endoscope could not
be traversed past the distal sigmoid colon.
EGD ([**2115-7-28**]) - Evidence of a previous subtotal gastrectomy was
seen. Areas of erythema likely secondary to NGT trauma.
Anastomosis patent. Normal duodenum. Esophageal diverticulum.
There was bile in stomach. No evidence of bleeding. No ulcers.
Anastomosis patent. Otherwise normal EGD to second part of the
duodenum.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 358**]
Chief Complaint:
shortness of breath, productive cough
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
PICC line placement
History of Present Illness:
The patient is an 80-year-old female with a past medical history
significant for chronic bronchiectesis, MV-repair/tricuspid
valve replacement, CHF, and atrial fibrillation who presented to
to her primary care physician's office at [**Company 191**] just prior to this
hospital admission complaining of worsening dyspnea and cough.
At baseline, the patient has moderate amount of yellow sputum
and is on 2.5 L oxygen via home NC with typical oxygen
saturations ranging from 95-96%. Prior to presentation she
describes having 3-4 days of extreme fatigue, nausea, weakness
and worsening sputum production that was darker yellow-greenish
in color along with a more frequent cough. She was sent from the
[**Hospital 191**] clinic visit over to the ED for further workup. In clinic
she had a temperature of 100.3 F, RR 33 and she had notable
accessory muscle use and obvious labored breathing.
.
In the [**Hospital1 18**] ED her vitals were: Temperature of 101.6F, HR 80,
SBP 130s, and oxygen saturations were in the low 90's on 4L NC
and remained in low 90s with higher rates on non-rebreather
mask. Despite her presentation, she had no significant WBC
elevations. On exam, she had rales throughout both lung fields.
On EKG she was V-paced as she has a pacemaker. She also had
evidence of atrial fibrillation on EKG. CXR in ED showed both
RUL and LLL opacities. She was given nebulizer treatments with
little effect. IV Vancomycin and Levofloxacin were also
initiated in the emergency room soon after her arrival. She was
felt to be too unstable for the general medical floor and was
admitted to the MICU service.
.
Following admission to MICU the patient continued to have
increased work of breathing and productive cough with low oxygen
saturations and was felt to be in hypoxic respiratory distress
with some hypercarbia as well as ABG showed a pO2 of 63mmHg and
pCO2 of 49. Fortunately, she did not require intubation but she
was started on non-invasive ventilation. She was mostly
normotensive with a few drops of SBP into the high 80s but she
did not require any pressors. IVFs were used sparingly given her
CHF history. She has a history of resistant pseudomonas so there
was some concern for re-infection, especially since gram
negative rods were found on sputum culture. Urine legionella
testing was sent off as well and she was continued on her
Levofloxacin coverage at time of her transfer to the general
medical floor until urine legionella results returned.
Vancomycin was discontinued at time of transfer out of MICU.
While in the MICU she also underwent daily chest PT and received
ongoing nebulizer treatments.
Upon arrival to the general medical floor she had been
successfully weaned down to 4-5L on nasal cannula with oxygen
saturation levels of 93%-95%. In general, she stated she was
feeling "much better" with more energy and less shortness of
breath at time of her transfer. Despite her CHF history she did
not seem to have any signs of fluid overload as her JVD was
5-6cm and she had no crackles on lung exam and no pedal edema.
She was continued on her usual Coumadin therapy for her atrial
fibrillation and tricuspid valve replacement but she had to hold
her Coumadin for a few evenings due to a high INR. Because of
her bronchiectasis her INR goal is uniquely 2.0 so the team made
note of this fact during her stay.

Brief Hospital Course:
In summary, the patient is an 80-year-old female with chronic
bronchiectasis and home oxygen dependence, MV-repair/tricuspid
valve replacement, and atrial fibrillation who presented with
fevers, worsening cough, and shortness of breath which
progressed to hypoxic respiratory failure in the setting of
suspected new acute PNA which was corroborated by CXR.
.
# Hypoxic respiratory failure: At time of transfer to the
regular medicine [**Hospital1 **] from the MICU the patient's oxygen
requirements had improved and her hypoxia appeared to be
resolving well. She had an ABG with pO2 63 and pCO2 of 49 in
MICU shortly after admission consistent with hypoxic failure
mixed with hypercarbia. Patient has chronic bronchiectasis which
was initially noted in the late [**2108**] per patient and on further
discussion with the patient's pulmonologist it was noted that
the root of her bronchiectasis dates back to a severe pertussis
infection many years ago. She has had repeated PNAs and URIs
since that time with progressive decompensation and shortness of
breath leading to home oxygen dependency. At time of her
transfer out of the MICU she had been waened to 4-5L on nasal
cannula with oxygen saturations in the mid-90s. At home her
baseline oxygen saturations range between 94-97 % on 2.5L nasal
cannula per patient and her family. She progressed steadily and
her shortness of breath improved throughout her hospital course
with ongoing antibiotics and resolution of her PNA and
additional albuterol nebulizers and chest PT. Her ipatropium
regimen was changed to tiotropium and advair was continued. By
time of discharge she was back at her baseline of 2.5 L nasal
cannula with oxygen saturations in the high 90s.
.
# Pneumonia: Despite no leukocytosis, she presented with
worsened cough from her baseline, respiratory distress (RR >30),
fevers to 101 range, and CXR with consolidations noted at LLL
and RUL which were all suggestive of a new PNA. The patient was
also known to be colonizated with Pseudomonas in the past and
she had been treated in the past several times with various
antibiotics. Per records, her last recorded sputum had grown out
GNR (non-pseudomonas) sensitive to Ceftazidime, Levofloxacin,
Meropenem, and Zosyn. Given these sensitivity patterns and her
significant underlying lung pathology with bronchiectasis she
was continued on Levofloxacin initally for coverage for
atypicals/Legionalla PNA but once urine legionella returned
negative the levofloxacin was discontinued. She was continued on
broad coverage with Doripenem and switched to Meropenem just
prior to discharge. A PICC line was placed and home services
were arranged to help Mrs. [**Known lastname **] administer her antibiotics as an
outpatient until [**2137-10-28**] when she will complete a full 14 days
of antibiotics. Blood cultures all returned negative. She
continued her chest PT and spirometry at the bedside and she was
given daily mucinex, nebulizers alongside her antibiotics and
her cough and phlegm production gradually improved. Her fevers
gradually tapered as well and by time of discharge she had been
afebrile for several days.
.
# Bronchiectasis: As mentioned, her initial bronchiectasis and
pulmonary scarring was secondary to an older Pertussis infection
> 15 years ago. On this admission she had no hemoptysis noted
but cough and baseline sputum were much worse than usual at
admission per patient. She was continued on her Albuterol Nebs,
Advair, and Mucinex twice daily. The patient was encouraged to
continue her home inhalers, and ongoing chest PT as an
outpatient as she is predisposed to PNAs from her baseline
bronchiectasis.
.
# Systolic CHF: Last EF was 30% in [**2135**]. She had JVD=3-4cm on
exam, no crackles on lung exam, and no evidence of pedal edema
to indicate volume overload. She was in no apparent CHF distress
despite her acute PNA. During her hospital course she was
continued on Furosemide at 20mg dose with eventual taper to her
home dose of 10mg daily. She was also continued on Lisinopril
2.5mg PO daily and Spironolactone daily.
.
# Atrial fibrillation: She was placed on continuous telemetry
monitoring and several EKGs were assessed as well. She remained
V-paced with HR in 80s and occasional PVCs with no other notable
ectopy. Anticoagulation was continued with Coumadin with her INR
goal kept at 2.0 because of her extensive bronchiectasis. She
has a CHADS score 2. Coumadin dose was held for a few days due
to a brief period of time while her INR was supratherapeutic but
it was restarted prior to discharge with instructions for her
home services nurses to draw her blood on Wednesday [**10-23**]
and have her INR/PT levels sent to the [**Hospital 197**] Clinic at [**Company 191**]
in order to make sure her Coumadin level was within a proper
range. Mrs.[**Known lastname 109589**] INR was 1.9 at time of discharge.
.
# Hyperlipidemia: She was continued on her usual daily dose of
20mg Simvastatin for her hypercholesterolemia management. She
had no chest pain or angina during her hospital stay.
.
# Anxiety: The patient had well controlled anxiety levels
throughout her hospital course despite the undoubted stress of
being admitted to an intensive care unit in repiratory distress.
She was maintained on her usual home Citalopram 20 mg daily and
Lorazepam 1.0 mg QHS as needed.
.
# Fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: Mrs. [**Known lastname **] was given a
regular cardiac healthy diet and her electrolytes were checked
daily and replete on an as-needed basis. PO intake was
encouraged and IVFs were used sparingly due to her CHF history.
.
# Prophylaxis Issues: She was continued on Coumadin for
anticoagulation which also provided DVT prevention as well,
protonix was given for GI protection and Senna and Colace to
promote stool regularity.
.
The patient was maintained as a full code status for the
entirety of her hospitalization as communication occured
directly with the patient on a daily basis and with her three
sons as requested per patient. The patient's primary
pulmonologist,Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], was also updated on Mrs.[**Known lastname 109589**]
status during her hospital stay.

Discharge Condition:
At time of discharge the patient was clinically doing well with
stable vital signs and her oxygen requirements had returned to
her usual baseline on 2.5L oxygen via nasal cannula which was
her pre-admission home oxygen requirement. The patient's cough
had lessened in severity and she was in no distress.
Discharge Instructions:
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay
here at [**Hospital1 69**].
You were admitted with worsening shortness of breath and a
productive cough and found to have a pneumonia. This diagnosis
was supported on additional imaging and lab studies. Your
shortness of breath was so severe that you needed to be admitted
to the medical intensive care unit for a few days prior to
transferring to a general medical floor once you were more
stable. Your were given high flow, non-invasive oxygen therapy
to help resolve your respiratory distress. You were also given
frequent nebulizer treatments to help your shortness of breath.
Antibiotics were given to treat your pneumonia. Your additional
medical issues which include atrial fibrillation, coronary
artery disease, depression, hyperparathyroidism and a history of
congestive heart failure were all monitored and managed during
your hospitalization.
Please continue with your usual outpatient physical therapy and
home health services. A script with instructions for your blood
to be drawn at home on Wednesday [**10-23**] has been included
in your discharge paperwork. Your INR level will be checked sent
to the [**Hospital 197**] Clinic at [**Company 191**] in order to make sure your
Coumadin level is correct.
Medication Instructions:
During your hospital stay a PICC line was placed for ongoing
antibiotic therapy which must be given intravenously. You will
continue to get your daily Meropenem antibiotic through your
PICC line (1g Meropenem every 8 hours)for a total of 2 weeks of
antibiotic therapy which are scheduled to end [**2137-10-27**]. The PICC
will be removed once antibiotic therapy is completed.
Because of your history congestive heart failure it is important

RADIOLOGY Final Report
CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST [**2132-4-1**] 9:01 AM
FINDINGS: There is no significant interval change in the
appearance of the present noncontrast head CT scan compared to
the prior [**Hospital3 **] study of [**2131-11-11**], as well as the
outside study from [**Hospital3 417**] Hospital. There is no sign for
the presence of a visible intracranial mass lesion. Both studies
show slightly asymmetric atrophy of the cerebellum, more evident
in the region of the right cerebellar hemisphere. Images of the
cerebellum, at this time, are moderately degraded by patient
motion. In any case, visualization of the MR- described
cavernous hemangioma would be extremely difficult, given its
reported small size and typically limited visibility on a
noncontrast head CT scan. The surrounding osseous and soft
tissue structures show no additional abnormalities.
CONCLUSION: No interval change from prior study of [**2131-11-11**]. In view of the questions you have raised in the history,
kindly forward the original report of the [**Hospital3 417**]
Hospital CT scan for our independent review.
CTA CHEST W&W/O C &RECONS [**2132-4-3**] 8:11 AM
CT ANGIOGRAM FINDINGS:
The main right and left, lobar and proximal segmental pulmonary
arteries are widely patent and appear normal, no evidence of
acute pulmonary embolus. At the peripheral segmental level the
contrast opacification is slightly suboptimal.
Normal heart size and central pulmonary arterial vasculature.
Normal caliber thoracic aorta.
Patient is status post right upper lobectomy. Small right
posterior basal pleural effusion. Partial atelectasis of the
medial segment of the right middle lobe.
Patchy consolidation in the posterior aspect of the right lower
lobe also patchy airspace consolidation in the posterior portion
of left lower lobe. There is associated increased ground-glass
attenuation in these areas more marked on the left lung.
Differential possibilities include aspirational pneumonia.
Although the appearances were asymmetric, worse on the left
side, asymmetric pulmonary oedema is also a consideration.
However, the nondependent interlobular septae in the right lung
do not appear thickened at present.
Minor area of residual localized pneumothorax in the central
medial thorax.
No bone lesions demonstrated.
In the arterial phase scan, there is an ill-defined area of
hypodensity in the posteromedial aspect of segment VII (series
4, image 100) which remains unchanged in size compared to prior
CT of [**2131-11-12**].
CONCLUSION:
1. No acute pulmonary embolus demonstrated.
2. Extensive patchy consolidation in the left lung and posterior
aspect of the remaining right lower lobe with associated
ground-glass attenuation in those areas. Differential
considerations include aspiration pneumonia possibly with some
associated and asymmetric pulmonary edema. Small localized right
posterior basal pleural effusion.
CHEST (PA & LAT) [**2132-4-8**] 11:02 AM
The patient is status post partial resection of the right lung
with volume loss and a persistent small right apical
pneumothorax. The heart is normal in size. There are bibasilar
areas of consolidation, left greater than right, which appear
worsened in the interval. Small right pleural effusion is
without change.
IMPRESSION:
1. Evolving bibasilar pneumonia.
2. Small right apical pneumothorax.
Bronchial lavage [**2132-4-4**]:
ATYPICAL.
Rare isolated atypical cells, can not exclude malignancy.
Neutrophils, histiocytes and red blood cells.

Previous biopsies: [**Numeric Identifier 111712**] 4 R/L LOWER PARATRACHEAL,2 R
UPPER PARATRACHEAL,7
DIAGNOSIS:
I. Parietal pleura (A):
Fragments of lung and pleura with focal fibrosis.
Note: By immunohistochemistry, the aggregates of cells present
are negative for cytokeratin cocktail (AE1/AE3, CAM5.2), S-100,
HMB-45, and MART-1. Calretinin is weakly positive in the
mesothelial cells present.
II. Right upper lobe, wedge resection (B-J):
Malignant melanoma (1.0 cm), see note.
Note: Sections show a monotypic population of atypical spindled
and epithelioid cells with prominent nucleoli, arranged in
nodules and small nests. By immunohistochemistry, these cells
are positive for S-100 and MART-1; they are negative for
cytokeratin cocktail, 34BE12, synaptophysin, chromogranin and
TTF1. This immunophenotype supports the diagnosis of malignant
melanoma.
III. Lung, right upper lobectomy (K-R):
1. Bronchial and vascular margins with no malignancy.
2. Lung parenchyma with emphysematous changes and vascular
congestion; no malignancy identified.
3. Pleural fibrosis.
IV. Lymph node, level 9, pulmonary ligament (S):
Two lymph nodes with no malignancy identified (0/2).
V. Lymph node, level 10, hilar (T):
One lymph node with no malignancy identified (0/1).
VI. Lymph node, level 11, interlobar (U):
One lymph node with no malignancy identified (0/1).
VII. Lymph node, level 12, lobar (V):
One lymph node with no malignancy identified (0/1).
Clinical: Right upper lobe nodule.
Gross: The specimen is received in seven parts each labeled with
the patient's name, "[**Known lastname **], [**Known firstname 3075**]" and the medical record
number.
Part 1 is received fresh in the OR and consists of two
fibrofatty fragments measuring 0.7 x 0.4 x 0.3 cm in aggregate.
The specimen is inked and submitted entirely for frozen section
and carries a frozen section diagnosis by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 10165**] of:
"Parietal pleura, focal cellular spindle/epithelial
proliferation, FDPPS". The specimen is submitted entirely in A
Part 2 is received fresh in the OR and consists of an unoriented
lung wedge of spongy grey tissue measuring 5.3 x 2.5 x 1.2 cm.
The margin is inked in [**Location (un) 2452**] and the rest in black and the
specimen is noted to be previously incised by the surgeon for
microbiology. The specimen is serially sectioned to show a [**Doctor Last Name 352**]
well-circumscribed nodule measuring 1.0 x 0.9 x 0.9 cm
approximately 1.3 cm from the staple line, but does not involve
the overlying visceral pleura. A portion of the specimen is
frozen and carries a frozen section diagnosis by [**Doctor Last Name 10165**] of:
"Right upper lobe wedge, spindle/epithelioid tumor, FDPPS". The
frozen section remnant is submitted entirely in B. The staple
line is cut away from the remainder of the specimen. The
specimen is serially sectioned and submitted entirely in
cassettes C-J with the nodule in E-H.

received fresh in the OR and consists of a lung lobectomy
specimen measuring 16.0 x 8.0 x 2.5 cm. The bronchial margin is
identified and submitted en face for frozen section and carries
a frozen section diagnosis by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 7108**] of: "Bronchial margin,
negative for malignancy". The bronchial margin frozen section is
submitted entirely in K. On the pleural and inferior surface of
the specimen approximately 5.5 cm away from the bronchial
resection margin is a pleural nodule that is tan-[**Doctor Last Name 352**] in color
that measures 3.5 x 2.0 cm and is inked entirely in black. The
specimen is serially sectioned and represented as follows: L =
multiple sections of pleural nodule, M = representation of
unremarkable lung adjacent to pleural nodule, N-P = additional

CT HEAD [**2-17**]
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass
effect, or acute territorial infarction. The ventricular system
appears within normal limits. The sulci are slightly prominent
for the patient's age. Soft tissues and bone structures appear
unremarkable. The paranasal sinuses demonstrate bilateral
ethmoidal mucosal thickening. The visualized aspect of the
maxillary sinuses also demonstrates mucosal thickening. Fluid
level is identified in the sphenoidal sinus. The mastoid air
cells demonstrate normal aeration.
.
IMPRESSION: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, or acute
territorial infarction.
.
Mild prominence of the sulci for the patient's age. Bilateral
ethmoidal mucosal thickening, there is also mucosal thickening
in the visualized aspect of the maxillary sinuses and the
sphenoidal sinus.
TTE [**2-17**]
The left atrium is normal in size. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is
normal. Regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. Overall
left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good
leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
There is no pericardial effusion.
[**2195-2-19**] Abdominal US
FINDINGS: The liver is heterogeneous and predominantly
echogenic. There is a 2.1 x 1.6 x 2.1 cm well-circumscribed more
echogenic lesion in the left hepatic lobe, without internal
flow, compatible with a hemangioma. There is no intrahepatic
biliary ductal dilatation. The common duct measures 3.3 mm. The
spleen is not enlarged at 11.8 cm. The main portal vein is
patent, with hepatopetal flow.
.
The gallbladder demonstrates moderate wall thickening and
pericholecystic fluid. However, it is not distended and contains
no stones. There is no upper abdominal ascites. The distal
abdominal aorta is obscured. The remainder demonstrates a normal
caliber. The pancreas appears grossly unremarkable. Both kidneys
demonstrated normal echogenicity, without hydronephrosis or
calculi. The right kidney measures 14.3 cm and the left kidney
measures 12.9 cm.
.
IMPRESSION:
1. Gallbladder wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid is
believed to be related to liver disease rather than acute
cholecystitis, given the absence of gallbladder distention.
2. Echogenic liver, compatible with fatty infiltration.
Additional and more severe forms of liver disease including
fibrosis cannot be excluded.
3. Hepatic hemangioma in the left lobe.
CTA CHEST [**2-22**]
CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: There is partial collapse of the left
lower lobe and superimposed patchy consolidations that do not
enhance as well, suspicious for superimposed pneumonia. There is
a small left pleural effusion. There is very mild atelectasis at
the right base with a very small pleural effusion. The airways
are otherwise clear, though limited by respiratory motion.
.
The patient is intubated with the endotracheal tube
approximately 3.5 cm above the carina. NG tube is located in the
stomach. The pulmonary arteries opacify without filling defects.
.
The heart and other great vessels of the mediastinum are
unremarkable. There are multiple prominent but
non-pathologically enlarged mediastinal and left hilar lymph
nodes, likely reactive. No pathologic axillary adenopathy is
present.
.
The visualized portions of the liver demonstrate diffuse fatty
infiltration of the liver. No suspicious lesions are identified
in the bones but note is made of multiple healed left posterior
rib fractures.
.
IMPRESSION:
1. Partial left lower lobe collapse with superimposed pneumonia.
2. No evidence for pulmonary embolism.
3. Fatty liver.

CT CHEST w/o constrast
CT OF THE CHEST WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: There are several mildly
prominent paratracheal lymph nodes, which are unchanged. All
measure less than 10 mm in shortest axis dimension. A discretely
identifiable left hilar lymph node of 5 mm in width (2:28) is
also unchanged. Bilateral hilar lymph nodes visualized on the
recent CT are difficult to distinctly identify without
intravenous contrast, but the right hilar contour appears
similar.
.
There has been progressive atelectasis of the left lower lobe,
which is now fully collapsed with near occlusion of the distal
left lower lobe bronchus. A small left-sided pleural effusion is
somewhat larger than before, and a tiny right-sided pleural
effusion with minimal associated atelectasis has also increased
somewhat.
.
There are several new poorly defined nodules in the right upper
lobe (3:22, 30, 31, and 34) and an apical nodule has grown.
.
The patient has been extubated. A nasogastric tube enters the
stomach. Otherwise, limited views of the upper abdomen are
unremarkable.
BONE WINDOWS: There are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions.
.
IMPRESSION:
1. New ill-defined nodules in the right upper lobe, suggestive
of invasive fungal infection, as suspected clinically.
2. Progressive atelectasis of the left lower lobe, now fully
collapsed.
3. Larger, but small pleural effusions, with new trace ascites.
[**2195-3-8**] CT CHEST w/o contrast
CT CHEST WITHOUT CONTRAST: There are several prominent
mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes that do not meet CT size
criteria for enlargement. Heart size is normal.
.
Partial collapse of the left lower lobe is improved since
[**2195-2-27**]. Bilateral simple layering pleural effusions, left
greater than right, have slightly increased in size since
[**2195-2-27**]. Several nodules in the right upper lobe have decreased
in size since [**2195-2-27**] (4:111,155). Patchy opacity in the right
lower lobe may represent atelectasis or infiltrate, and if
infiltrative, represents incresed infectuous burden in the right
lower lobe.
.
Bone windows demonstrate no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions.
.
Although this exam was not optimized for subdiaphrahmatic
diagnosis, the imaged abdominal organs are unremarkable
.
IMPRESSION:
1. Ill-defined nodules in the right upper lobe are moderately
decreased in size since [**2195-2-27**] although right lower lobe has
patchy opacities that may represent atelectasis or infiltrate
are more prominent since that time.
2. Partial atelectasis of the left lower lobe has improved since
[**2195-2-27**].
3. Small bilateral pleural effusions, slightly larger than on
[**2195-2-27**]
[**2195-3-7**]
MRI ABD w/ and w/o contrast
FINDINGS: Bilateral pleural effusions and lower lobe atelectasis
are noted and better evaluated on the recent chest CT of [**3-8**], [**2194**] and [**2195-2-27**]. There is mild loss of signal
intensity on out-of-phase images in comparison with in-phase
images throughout the liver consistent with fatty infiltration.
Heterogeneous enhancement throughout the hepatic parenchyma
suggests the possibility of underlying cirrhosis although the
hepatic contour is not nodular. In segment III (100:80; 4:27), a
1.9 X 1.8 cm nodule is seen which corresponds with the echogenic
focus on ultrasound of [**2195-2-19**]. The lesion is mildly
hyperintense to hepatic parenchyma on T2-weighted images and
contains a linear band of precontrast T1 hyperintensity
centrally. There is minimal enhancement on post-gadolinium
images and no evidence of peripheral rim enhancement. No other
focal hepatic lesions are identified. The portal vein is patent,
and there is no biliary ductal dilation. The gallbladder is
nondistended with mural edema. There is splenomegaly (14 cm).
Mildly enlarged periportal lymph nodes are present up to 8 mm in
diameter. The pancreas, adrenal glands and kidneys appear
unremarkable. There is no ascites.
Image marrow signal appears within normal limits.
Multiplanar reformations provided multiple perspectives for the
dynamic series with kinetic information.
IMPRESSION:
1. A 1.8 cm nodule in segment III of the liver, corresponding to
the echogenic focus seen on ultrasound, has indeterminate
features. Infectious etiology is considered, and given hepatic
risk factors hepatocellular carcinoma with atypical appearance
cannot be excluded. Atypical or thrombosed hemangioma is
possible, but continued surveillance in short-term (three
months) with MRI is recommended.
2. Fatty infiltration of the liver and features consistent with
cirrhosis. Mild splenomegaly.
3. Gallbladder edema consistent with underlying liver disease.
Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname **] is a 41 year old F who was transferred to [**Hospital 18**]
hospital MICU from an OSH for unintentional tylenol overdose 1gm
q 2 hours x 7day, w/ liter of vodka a day for greater than a
month, noted to have developed fulminant hepatic failure.
Patients hepatic failure was complicated by hypoxic respiratory
failure requiring intubation. Patient was treated empirically
for a hospital aquired pneumonia. She underwent bronchoscopy and
was found to have a large aspergillus bronchus cast. She was
treated with caspofungin for likely invasive fungal disease. She
was then transitioned to PO voriconazoles as an outpatient.
Patient was noted to have a persistently collapsed left lower
lobe of her lung. Despite this her respiratory status continued
to improve during hospital stay until she was successfully
weaned off of supplemental oxygen. Patient was encephalopathic
during most of her hospital stay, but cleared mentally by
discharge. Pt was also noted to have VRE in her urine, but this
was thought to be an asymptomatic colonization. Patients hepatic
function continued to improve during her hospital course. She
was also noted to have hepatitis C. Of note a 1.9 x1.8cm mass
was found in patients liver on ultrasound. This was confirmed on
MRI. The mass was felt to be either a hemangioma or an atypical
hepatocellular carcinoma. Follow up was recommended. During stay
patient was also treated for a gluteal skin
infection/cellulitis. The issues of substance abuse were
addressed with the patient. Patient was recommended to a
substance abuse program by social work. Pt was willing to
participate in AA, but felt that she did not need an inpatient
substance abuse program. She was told that she could absolutely
not have another drink of alcohol and that she should avoid the
use of tylenol in the future.
.
# Hepatic failure: Patient presented to OSH with markedly
elevated LFTs, elevated INR consistent with fulminant liver
failure. A CT abd/pelvis did not reveal cirrhosis but did
reveal a mass in her liver, as she did have a history of
hepatitis C and significant ETOH abuse. This was a likely
subacute event of liver failure as patient was on tylenol over
the past 1-2 weeks superimposed on underlying liver disease.
Her tylenol level was initially 21. She was loaded with
N-acetylcysteine at OSH for presumed Tylenol intoxication so
toxicology and liver were both involved. She was maintained on
N-acetylcysteine infusion until her coagulation normalized. Her
coagulation factors and LFTs were monitered daily and trended
down towards normal. She had an ultrasound which demonstrated a
likely hemangioma in the liver and alpha feto-protein was low.
Serologies were also checked demonstrating that patient had
Hepatitis C with no evidence of other hepititidies and HIV was
negative. Blood cultures on [**2195-2-22**] were negative for growth.
.
# Mental status changes: Patient had difficulty with mental
status during hospital course. Initially felt to be due to
hepatic encephalopathy from liver failure above, as ammonia
level was elevated, as well as from alcohol withdrawl as patient
noted to have DTs. She was treated with lactulose and rifaximin
for hepatic encephalopathy, and with IV valium for treatment of
alcohol withdrawl. It was felt as though the valium she
received for her alcohol withdrawl was slow to clear given her
liver failure, so her mental status was monitered closely.
Lactulose and rifaximin continued and titrated to stool output.
She improved to baseline at discharge. Patient was discharged on
lactulose.
.
# Respiratory failure: Patient intubated on [**2195-2-21**] for hypoxia
initially of unknown etiology. She underwent bronchoscopy on
day of intubation that demonstrated thick blood clot in LLL,
with evidence of post-obstructive pneumonia past the blood clot.
She underwent CTA which was negative for PE, but again showed
evidence of post-obstructive pneumonia. BAL washings during
bronchoscopy were sent for culture and for cytology. Cultures
were negative, cytology was negative for malignant cells,
predominantly blood with a few bronchial cells and macrophages.
Vanc/Zosyn were discontinued on [**2195-2-24**]. She was successfully
extubated on [**2-24**]. Chest CT on [**2195-2-27**] showed new nodules in
the right upper lobe suggestive of invasive fungal infection.
CT also showed fully collapsed atelectasis of the left lower
lobe. Prior blood clot found on bronchoscopy was found to be
mixed clot and aspergillus. Patient was begun on IV caspofungin
as fungal disease was felt to be invasive (however this was
debated). Patient had a second bronchoscopy in order to try to
reopen collapsed left lower lobe of lung. LLL remained collapse
on imaging. Pt was transitioned to oral voriconazole at
discharge for a 21 day course. She was scheduled for weekly
LFTs. patient is due for repeat CT in 8 weeks. Repeat
bronchoscopy, pulm and ID follow up as is indicated in discharge
planning below.
.
# Liver mass: Patient was noted to have a mass in liver on CT
scan at OSH. Concerned about an underlying malignancy given
history of underlying liver disease. AFP checked and was normal
at 5.4. RUQ U/S demonstrated likely hemangioma. MRI suggested
cirrhosis, and noted a 1.9 X 1.8 cm nodule. The interpretation
of the MRI was that the nodule could be of infectious etiology,
an atypical hepatocellular carcinoma or a thrombosed hemangioma.
Radiology recommended repeat MRI in 3 months. This was indicated
to patient.
.
# Acute renal failure: Patient presented with Cr~1.8 to OSH.
Improved to 1.5 on admission. This ARF resolved during hospital
course with IVF hydration. Then on [**2-23**] patient developed an
elevation in Cr again to 1.8. This was in the setting of
receiving large dye load for a CT scan. Felt that patient had
developed a contrast nephropathy. Cr was 0.9 at d/c.
.
# Anion gap acidosis: Patient presents with mildly elevated
anion gap~15 in the setting of renal failure and high lactate.
Elevated lactate may be secondary to underlying liver disease
(decreasing metabolism of lactate) which is improving in the
setting of hydration. Acidosis and elevated lactate resolved
after initial IVF hydration.
.
# Epigastric pain: Patient presented to OSH with burning
epigastric pain. History suggests underlying gastritis vs. PUD.
She was maintained on protonix 40mg IV daily, with plans to
re-address upon clearance of above issues. C.diff toxin on
[**2195-2-27**] and [**2195-2-28**] were negative, stool cultures on [**2195-2-26**]
was negative for Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Enteric gram
negatives. All blood cultures were negative.
.
# Substance abuse: She has a history of significant alcohol
abuse. She also smokes and has a history of drug use. Initial
tox screen was unremarkable. She was treated for alcohol
withdrawl as above. Also given her high risk behavior,
hepatitis serologies and HIV were sent, which returned positive
for known Hep C only. Social work saw her upon resolution of
mental status issues and recommended her for rehab. She refused
rehab and was willing to attend AA as an outpatient. Patient was
discharged on thiamine and folic acid.
.
#Smoking Cessation was encouraged. Pt was discharged w/ nicotine
patch.
.
#VRE colonized urine: Urine culture on [**2-22**] had VRE, changed
foley on floor. Repeat UA, on [**1-/2116**] was negative. VRE precautions
while inpatient.
.
# Hospital Acquired PNA: Patient received 7 days of Abx
cipro/vanc.
.
# Buttock Cellulitis: Treated w/ a 7 day course Vanc/cipro.
#Hypernatremia: treated with IV fluid boluses
.
#FEN: Patient received TF while her mental status was altered.
She had transient hypernatremia which was treated with free
water boluses. She was eventually transitioned back to a low
sodium diet.
.
# Follow up as described in discharge worksheet.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the [**Hospital1 69**]
because of fulminant hepatic failure due to unintentional
tylenol overdose 1gm q 2 hours x 7day, w/ liter of vodka a day
resulting in fulminant hepatic failure. This was complicated by
respiratory failure that required intubation, but you were
extubated, with continued hepatic encephalopathy, colonized
Vancomycin resistent E.Coli in your urine, and a bronchoscopy
and removal of a fungus ball.
.
You were found to have an fungal pneumonia. For this fungal
pneumonia you need to complete 3 more weeks of antifungal
therapy. We want you to have a repeat chest CT done on [**3-18**].
This can be done at the [**Hospital Ward Name **] of [**Hospital1 18**].
.
You will then need a repeat CT again 8 weeks from now and a
repeat bronchoscopy to make sure that you have cleared the
fungal pneumonia.
.
You will take voriconazole 300mg twice a day for 21 days. Please
get your liver funtion checked on [**2195-3-14**].
.
During your hospital stay you were also treated for a bacterial
pneumonia and a cellulitis.
.
We also found you to have a mass in your liver. You had an MRI
during your hospital stay, but it is unclear if this mass is a
tumor or just a vessel. As a result we want you to get a repeat
MRI of your liver in 3 months.

History of Present Illness:
Pt is a 72 yo M myelofibrosis, h/o c.diff, h/o delirium who
presented to ED for AMS, fever. On the day of presentation, pt
was received his regularly scheduled Interferon for
myelofibrosis, then started to complain of nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea, as well as shortness of breath. He was then found to
be nonresponsive at [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 2299**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **], where he resides, thus
brought to the ED. Pt denied any chest pain/pressure. Per
family, pt may have eaten an old [**Location (un) 6002**]. In the ED, he was
initially 98% on RA, then became hypoxic to 82%. He was placed
on 100% non-rebreather with O2 sats in low 90s. Ohter vs were:
105rectal 92 98/45, 32, 86%RA 92?NRB, lactate 4.8 (ua negative,
CXR with bilateral hazziness but no specific infiltrate).
Patient was given tylenol, 6L NS, vanc/dex/zosyn/ceftriaxone.
Repeat VS were 100.8, 60, 101/38, 95% 15L FMask.
.
On admission to the MICU pt was alert and oriented to self and
place only. He was somewhat combative, trying to pull off the
mask. He was hypoxic to low 90s on nonrebreather, and ABG was
7.26/44/98. Anesthesia was called and intubated the patient
uneventfully. Arterial line was placed in the left wrist. RIJ
was placed. He required Dopamine and Levophed to maintain his
MAP>60. EP was called to increase his V-pacing to 90 to increase
cardiac output.

CXR [**2-8**]: Perihilar opacities reflecting airspace pulmonary
edema. Likely
right pleural effusion.
CT Head [**2-9**]: No evidence of mass lesion. No acute intracranial
process.
CT Torso [**2-9**]: 1. Large right pleural effusion which is causing
compressive atelectasis of the posterior right upper and right
lower lobes.
2. New moderate left pleural effusion causing compressive
atelectasis of the posterior left upper lobe and complete
atelectasis of the left lower lobe.
3. Cecal and ascending colonic wall thickening, consistent with
colitis.
4. Colonic diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis.
5. Unchanged ascites.
CXR [**2-13**]: Endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube have
been removed. The left PICC line is now seen extending to at
least the
cavoatrial junction. The distal tip is not well seen. Right
pleural effusion has decreased slightly, now moderate. Left
lower lobe collapse or effusion persists. Cardiac size is top
normal in size. Dense retrocardiac opacity persists. Aortic arch
calcifications and [**Month/Year (2) 4448**] are unchanged.
All microbiologic data no growth to date. C diff negative x 3.
Sputum culture negative.
Echo
The left atrium is moderately dilated. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is
mildly dilated with mild global hypokinesis and septal
dysnchrony (LVEF = 40 %). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an
increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is mild
aortic valve stenosis (area 1.3 cm2). No aortic regurgitation is
seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+)
mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is mild to moderate pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is a small circumferential
pericardial effusion.
CXR [**2-16**] post R thoracentesis
FINDINGS: Interval decrease in right pleural effusion following
thoracentesis, with residual small to moderate effusion
remaining and no
evidence of pneumothorax. Associated improvement in parenchymal
opacity at
the right lung base. Previously noted left pleural effusion is
difficult to assess due to exclusion of left costophrenic sulcus
from the radiograph, but there is at least a small residual left
effusion remaining as well as persistent left retrocardiac
opacification.
Brief Hospital Course:
# Respiratory failure: In the [**Name (NI) **], Pt was hypoxic to low 90s on
non-rebreather, likely due to septic shock. Differential
diagnosis at first included pneumonia, pulmonary edema from CHF,
and ARDS. CXR showed diffuse haziness bilaterally and chronic
pleural effusion R>L. He was intubated and sedated on admission
and ventilator settings were per ARDSnet protocol. He was given
multiple antibiotics on admission (see below), which would cover
pneumonia. He underwent bronchoscopy which showed scant
secretions and normal anatomy. BAL fluid was sent for gram stain
and cultures, which were negative. Urine legionella antigen was
also negative. At the time of transfer to the floor, he was
continued on ceftriaxone for presumed pneumonia even though
cultures were negative. The patient was transitioned to Precedex
on [**2-11**] due to intolerance of fentanyl/versed. This intolerance
should be noted for future reference. He was weaned from the
ventilator and extubated on [**2-12**], and on transfer to the floor,
was maintaining his O2 saturation on room air. Due to persistant
dyspnea, Mr. [**Known lastname **] [**Last Name (Titles) 106221**] thoracentesis, which resulted in
significant improvement in his resporatory distress.
# Septic shock/fever: Unclear source. Admission differential
diagnosis included meningitis (altered mental status, high
fevers), C. diff (pt has h/o C. diff colitis, currently has
abdominal pain and high WBC count), and pneumonia.
Vancomycin/Zosyn/Ceftriaxone/Decadron given in the ED;
Ampicillin (Listeria), Acyclovir (HSV), and Flagyl (pt h/o C.
diff) given on admission to ICU. Although stool cultures were
negative for c.diff, given the patient's history and CT findings
consistent w/ colitis, he was treated with po vancomycin for
c.diff. He was also treated with ceftriaxone for presumed
pneumonia. Plan is for a total of a 10 day course of
ceftriaxone with vancomycin to continue for 2 additional weeks
thereafter. He received stress dose steroids for 48 hours given
his inappropriate cortisol stim. They were stopped as his
clinical condition improved. It could be conceivable that his
symptoms were from a viral syndrome or possibly related to his
interferon treatment. IFN was held while hospitalized and
should not be restarted without the input of Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] & Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) **] of hematology
# Cardiac: On day of admission, Troponins trended
0.10->0.19->0.26. Differential included demand ischemia and ACS.
Cardiac cath 3 years ago at [**Hospital1 112**] showed no flow limiting lesions
per patient. He was given 325mg ASA but heparin was not started
due to high INR. He was continued on ASA 81 mg. His echo showed
an EF of 40%. After aggressive hydration in ICU, Mr. [**Known lastname **]
was diuresed with IV lasix. He was also continued on beta
blockers. Due to ACE-I allergy (anaphylaxis), hydralazine was
started.
.
# Change in Mental Status: Pt has tendency to become delirious
during acute illnesses. MS gradually cleared during admission.
His head CT on admission did not show any evidence of mass
lesion or acute intracranial process
.
# Idiopathic Myelofibrosis: Pt was continued on hydroxyurea but
interferon was held as per Hem Onc recs. Pt will see them post
discharge at which time the decision regarding restarting IFN
will be made.
.
# PAF with [**Known lastname 4448**]: Pt was seen by EP and they adjusted
[**Known lastname 4448**] settings to increase v-pacing to 90. Settings
subsequently decreased to 70 post-extubation.
.
# HTN: Continued metoprolol. Started on hydralazine.
.
# Elevated liver enzymes: Likely related to hypoperfusion of
the liver; trended down throughout hospital course but have not
fully returned to [**Location 213**].
.
# Hypothyroidism: Continued levothyroxine
.
# Bleeding after heparin injection subQ: Pt had subcutaneous
[**Location **] oozing after heparin shots. Hence heparin was held. Pt was
given compression dressing and the bleeding stopped.
.
# FEN: Swallow eval showed that pt has mild to moderate
dysphagia. Hence he was started on soft (dysphagia) diet and
nectar thick liquids. Thin liquids were removed from his diet.
He will need repeat swallow eval in [**6-12**] days.
.
# PPX: Heparin was held due to subcutaneous [**Date Range **] oozing and pt
was given pnumoboots for DVT ppx. He was also on H2 blockers.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital with very low [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] pressure
and difficulty breathing. We never found the source of your
illness, but have treated you for a presumed diagnosis of
pneumonia and C diff colitis. Thankfully, after intensive
medical care in the ICU you improved. You will need to finish a
14 day course of oral vancomycin and finish a 10 day course of
ceftriaxone (another antibiotic). Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
will need to decide at your next appointment whether to continue
with the interferon treatments.
We also drained fluid from your lung (a thoracentesis) which
helped your shortness of breath.
If you have fever >100.4, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, loss
of consciousness or any other concerns then please seek medical
attention.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
IVC filter placement
History of Present Illness:
85 F h/o stage 0 CLL, not requring tx previously, presents to ED
for persistent cough/abdominal pain, and hematuria.
.
Pt notes about 2 months of increasing fatigue, nightsweats,
decreased appetite, and increasing left side abdominal pain
(intermittent, no relation to food, BM, sharp, no diarrhea,
constipation, melena). She was seen by PCP [**2125-1-9**], felt to have
viral URI, symptoms persisted, and seen again [**2125-1-23**] with
persistent cough (intermittently productive, yellow-white),
single episode of hematuria (clear red, not clot), and LLQ
abdominal pain, treated with azithromycin, and abdominal US
obtained which revealed new splenomegaly with new 1.5-cm
echogenic area.
On [**1-31**], pt noted recurrent episode of "strong blood in urine."
Describes clear red +clots, +feeling incomplete voiding, no
suprapubic pain, no CVA tenderness. Also notes transient R LE
shooting pain last night which has resolved.
Pt presented to the ED with VS: 98.1 79 113/69 16 100%RA. In the
ED, CXR with LUL collapse, CT ABD/PELVIS with multiple new
metastasis, and new mass in bladder. Also RLL PE. UA +hematuria,
+ UTI. pt given levo, flagyl, morphine 2mg x3 for pain. BP then
noted to drop to 70/37, pt received total 2L IVF, although
timing unclear, with BP improved to 102/55s (?dehyration vs
sepsis vs morphine). No central line placed. CT head obtained in
anticipation of possible anticoagulation.

DIAGNOSIS
FLOW CYTOMETRY REPORT
FLOW CYTOMETRY IMMUNOPHENOTYPING
The following tests (antibodies) were performed: HLA-DR, FMC-7,
Kappa, Lambda, and CD antigens: 3, 5, 10, 19, 20, 23, 38, 45.
RESULTS:
Three-color gating is performed (light scatter vs. CD45) to
optimize lymphocyte yield. Lymphocytes comprise <1% of total
analyzed events.
B-cells are scant in number precluding evaluation of clonality.
Approximately 77% of total analyzed events show dim CD45 and
high side scatter, representing neutrophils.
INTERPRETATION
Non-diagnostic study. Clonality could not be assessed in this
case due to insufficient numbers of B-cells. Cell marker
analysis was attempted, but was non-diagnostic in this case due
to insufficient numbers of cells. If clinically indicated, we
recommend a repeat specimen (fresh) be submitted directly to the
flow cytometry laboratory.

DIAGNOSIS: Urine:
ATYPICAL.
Atypical but very degenerated urothelial cells, cannot
exclude urothelial dysplasia/neoplasia.
A few squamous cells, histiocytes, scattered lymphocytes,
and many red blood cells.
Urine cytology:
DIAGNOSIS:
A. Cell block, "[**2125-2-2**]":
Blood and rare atypical but markedly degenerated urothelial
cells and a few lymphoid cells, see note.
B. Cell block, "[**2125-2-3**]":
Blood and rare atypical but markedly degenerated urothelial
cells and a few possible lymphoid cells, see note.
C. Cell block, "[**2125-2-4**]":
Insufficient material for diagnosis.
Portable AP chest dated [**2125-2-5**] is compared to the chest CT from
[**2125-2-2**] and chest radiograph of [**2125-2-1**]. Patient respiratory
motion degrades the image. The heart is normal in size; however,
there is marked opacification of the left heart border and
retrocardiac region which may represent
atelectasis/consolidation and pleural effusion. The right lung
is grossly clear, but there is probably a small right pleural
effusion. There is no pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
1. Patient respiratory motion degrades the quality of the image.
2. Left lower lobe opacification likely represents
atelectasis/consolidation plus effusion.

DIAGNOSIS: SUSPICIOUS.
Atypical but markedly degenerated urothelial cells and
scattered atypical lymphoid cells present.
Squamous cells, anucleate squames, red blood cells,
crystals.
ECHO: Conclusions
The left atrium is elongated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
and cavity size are normal. Left ventricular systolic function
is hyperdynamic (EF>75%). There is a mild resting left
ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The gradient increased
with the Valsalva manuever. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is
moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Hyperdynamic left ventricular function with mild
left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. No significant
valvular disease.

[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
85 year old woman with CLL admitted with multiple abdominal
mets, and LLL obstruction [**1-6**] hilar LAD on CT abdomen.
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
NONCONTRAST CT, (has had recent dye load), please evaluate
lymphadenopathy, LLL collapse, infiltrate.
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
INDICATIONS: 85-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic
leukemia, admitted with abdominal metastases and left lower lobe
obstruction secondary to hilar lymphadenopathy on the abdomen
CT.
Question lymphadenopathy, left lower lobe collapse and
infiltrate.
At the request of the referring physician, [**Name10 (NameIs) 3173**] contrast
was not administered because of a recent dye load.
COMPARISONS: Limited comparison to a recent CT of the abdomen
from [**2125-2-1**] which depicted the lung bases.
TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images of the chest were obtained without
[**Year (4 digits) 3173**] contrast, and coronal and limited sagittal
reformatted images, including the spine, were also performed.
CT OF THE CHEST WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The patient was
inadvertently imaged during submaximal inspiration/partial
expiration; there is apparently slightly greater than 50%
narrowing of the anteroposterior dimension of the mid trachea,
an appearance suggestive of tracheomalacia.
A coarse calcification is noted the right lobe of the thyroid.
There are calcifications along the right, the left anterior
descending, and the left circumflex coronary arteries. The
pulmonary arteries cannot be assessed for filling defects. There
is only trace pericardial fluid but a small-to- moderate left-
sided pleural effusion of low density is somewhat larger.
Although the left anteromedial basal segment appears spared, all
other portions of the left lower lobe are collapsed, likely due
to post-obstructive atelectasis. The overall degree of
atelectasis has progressed since the prior day.
A large subcarinal mass of 51 x 26 mm in axial dimensions
(2a:27) is now fully visualized, although not as well depicted
without [**Year (4 digits) 3173**] contrast. It can be seen to extend to the
carina and also abuts the posteromedial aspects of each mainstem
bronchus. A large mass along the right infrahilar region and
adjacent portion of the lower left mediastinum measures 61 x 37
mm (2c:74), but was better depicted with contrast. The mass
likely obstructs one or more descending basal segmental airways,
but its precise origin is not fully clear.
There are multiple enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. The largest
is a paraaortic node measuring 12 mm in shortest axis dimension.
There is marked lymphadenopathy in the left axilla. The largest
node (2A:97) measures 30 x 23 mm in axial dimensions. There are
also several slightly prominent right hilar lymph nodes, but
these are not over 8 mm in diameter.
A small right-sided pleural effusion with associated atelectasis
appears unchanged. Two calcified granulomas are noted in the
right lung.
Limited views of the upper abdomen again depict multiple masses,
marked lymphadenopathy, a right adrenal mass, and marked
splenomegaly. There are also gallstones and a new small amount
of ascites. This appearance was better depicted on the prior CT
of the abdomen.
BONE WINDOWS: There are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. Subcarinal nodal mass.
2. Mass in the left infrahilar region with post- obstructive
atelectasis, which has progressed to near left lower lobe
collapse.
3. Marked left axillary lymphadenopathy, amenable to biopsy.
4. Somewhat larger bilateral pleural effusions.
5. Collapsibility of the trachea suggesting tracheomalacia.
6. Coronary artery calcifications.
7. Multiple abnormal masses in the upper abdomen, better
depicted on the recent abdominal CT. The only new finding is
trace ascites.
8. Known pulmonary embolism not visualized given the lack of
contrast administration. The extent of pulmonary emboli,
accordingly, cannot be assessed.

Field of view: 45 Contrast: OPTIRAY
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
85 yo F w/ CLL and climbing WBC, fatigue, cough, T 99, LLQ pain,
recent Azithro
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
eval for diverticulitis, signs of C-diff
CONTRAINDICATIONS for IV CONTRAST: None.
INDICATION: History of CLL with leukocytosis, left upper
quadrant pain, and cough. Additional history from the online
medical record indicates that there is hematuria.
TECHNIQUE: Contrast-enhanced MDCT of the abdomen and pelvis
displayed in multiplanar collimation.
COMPARISON: [**2118-3-23**].
CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: There is a large 5.6 x 3.2 cm mass in
the inferior mediastinum at the G-E junction. There is a large
4.2 x 1.9 cm subcarinal mass that compressess the esophagus. The
most superior slice also suggests an additional visualization of
a left hilar node, which is compressing the superior segment
bronchus of the left lower lobe resulting in postobstructive
collapse. There is additional atelectasis at the left base with
a moderate left-sided pleural effusion. There is a trace
pericardial fluid. A nonocclusive pulmonary embolism is present
in the visualized portions the right lower lobe pulmonary
artery, partially visualized on this study.
Widespread metastatic disease is identified, with a large, 5.9 x
3.7 cm heterogenous mass in the left upper quadrant, overlying
the spleen, with a small amount of associated ascites.
Innumerable additional omental, peritoneal, mesenteric, and
retroperitoneal soft tissue nodules/masses consistent with
metastases are also noted. There is an enlarged 2.7 cm mass/node
in the gastrohepatic space. Multiple metastatic deposits are
noted about and within the right adrenal gland. The spleen is
markedly enlarged measuring 19 cm in long axis and contains
multiple sub- centimeter hypoattenuating, indeterminate lesions.
There is no free air or free fluid. The small bowel loops appear
normal. Multiple hypodense lesions are present in the kidneys,
all probably simple or dense cysts. No lesions are identified in
the liver. There is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. The
gallbladder and pancreas appear normal.
CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: There is a large lobulated mass within
the right superior lateral wall of the bladder measuring 6.0 x
2.9 cm. There are multiple markedly enlarged lymph nodes along
the right external iliac, right common iliac, and left
paraaortic lymph node distributions. The rectum, colon and
uterus appear normal. The ovaries are not identified without
definite adenexal mass.
BONE WINDOWS: No suspicious lesions are identified. Sclerosis is
noted at the pubic symphysis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Widely metastatic disease with innumerable peritoneal
implants, including a large left upper quadrant mass, and bulky
iliac and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Lobulated mass within the
bladder wall. While a primary bladder malignancy remains a
consideration, other primary neoplasms (such as lung or ovarian)
with implants on the bladder should also be considered.
2. Mediastinal adenopathy with likely left hilar adenopathy
(partially visualized) causing post- obstructive collapse of the
superior segment of the left upper lobe.
3. Nonocclusive pulmonary embolism of the right lower lobe
pulmonary artery.
4. Massive splenomegaly with multiple indeterminate 1-cm
lesions, either metastases or small foci of infarction secondary
to splenomegaly.
[**Numeric Identifier 3174**] INTERUP IVC [**2125-2-1**] 4:14 PM
Reason: please place IVC filter.
Contrast: OPTIRAY
[**Hospital 93**] MEDICAL CONDITION:
85 year old woman with CLL, multiple new abdominal masses, new
bladder mass, with RLL PE, with concern for anticoagulation
given hematuria.
REASON FOR THIS EXAMINATION:
please place IVC filter.
PROCEDURE: IVC filter placement.
INDICATION: 85-year-old woman with CLL, multiple new abdominal
masses, and with new bladder mass. Patient has now presented
with right lower lobe pulmonary embolism and with concern for
anticoagulation given hematuria. IVC filter placement was
requested.
RADIOLOGISTS: This procedure was performed by Dr. [**First Name (STitle) 1022**] and Dr.
[**First Name (STitle) 3175**], the attending radiologist, who was present and
supervising throughout the entire procedure.
PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS: After explaining the risks and benefits
of the procedure, an informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was placed supine on the angiographic table
and the right groin was prepped and draped in standard sterile
fashion. A preprocedure timeout was performed.
After injection of local anesthesia with 1% lidocaine and using
ultrasound guidance, access was gained into right femoral vein
with a 19-gauge needle. A 0.035 Bentson guidewire was advanced
into the IVC under fluoroscopic guidance and the needle was
exchanged for a 5 French Omniflush catheter. Using Omniflush
catheter and guidewire, access was gained into left common iliac
vein and IVC venogram was obtained. IVC venogram demonstrated no
thrombosis in left iliac, IVC, and both renal veins were noted
at L2 level. Based on these venographic findings, it was decided
to place IVC filter at L3 level.
A 5 French catheter was removed and guidewire advanced into the
upper IVC under fluoroscopic guidance. A 7 French delivery
catheter was advanced over the wire into the IVC. A G2 IVC
filter was advanced through the catheter, and it was deployed in
the immediate infrarenal IVC at L3 level. Final abdominal x- ray
demonstrated proper location and position of IVC filter in
infrarenal IVC.
Vascular catheter was removed and manual compression was held
until hemostasis was achieved. The patient tolerated the
procedure well and there were no immediate complications.
IMPRESSION: Patent IVC and single renal veins at L2 level.
Successful G2 IVC filter deployment in immediate infrarenal IVC.
Brief Hospital Course:
85 y/o russian woman with history of Stage 0 CLL presented with
cough, abd pain, and hematuria, found to have LUL collapse
secondary to LAD, multiple abd mets, and new bladder mass.
Metastatic cancer of unknown primary
Presented with hematuria, found to have new bladder mass on CT
scan, in addition to peritoneal and lung mass. Urology consult
service followed, recommended urine cytology for diagnosis.
3-way foley placed and clots ultimately cleared and urine
returned to regular color. Per urology, biopsy of mass not
advisable given risk of procedure (bleeding, poor functional
status). Instead, urine cytology collected (multiple samples),
which were not diagnostic by pathology. ASA was held. Patient
was transfused with 1U PRBCs.
Given inability to obtain a diagnosis, and extent of metastatic
cancer (as well as unliklihood it is progressive CLL or
transformation), comfort/palliative care was recommended. Her
oncologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], and primary physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**Last Name (STitle) **] were
instrumental in decision-making and recommendations for goals of
care and prognosis. Mrs. [**Known lastname 3176**] was very clear in her desire
to pursue comfort measures only. The main symptoms were pain and
dyspnea both were treated with oxycontin and oxycodone. On day
of discharge, oxycontin was increased to 20 mg [**Hospital1 **]. She did not
want to take morphine secondary to previous side effects.
Palliative care team was involved as well and they recommended
starting ritalin, dexamethasone as well.
Constipation - on senna, colace and lactulose. Please give a
dose of lactulose when patient arrives at rehab today([**2125-2-19**])
as pt had not had a bowel movement in 2 days.
LLL collapse/possible post-obstructive pneumonia: was treated
for pneumonia with antibiotics that were stopped when patient
requested they be discontinued. O2 continued for comfort.
Pulmonary embolism: IVC filter placed [**2-1**]. Systemic
anticoagulation deferred in setting of hematuria.
Leg edema is likely from IVC filter and abdominal metastases
compressing on the venous return. Leg elevation recommended.
CLL/hemolytic anemia: The patient's labs showed evidence of a
hemolytic anemia. Prednisone was not administered given stable
hematocrit and risk of steroids with unknown malignancy, on
recommendations of Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. (However, eventually dexamethasone
was started per palliative care recommendations.)
Celexa, klonapin continued at home doses.

History of Present Illness:
The patient is an 87 year old RH woman with a history of PAF not
on anti-coagulation now presenting with new onset left arm
weakness. The history as per the patient and her husband is that
they were eating dinner this morning at around 9:30 am when the
patient felt the sudden onset of "terrible lightheadedness".
The husband put down the newspaper and looked over at his wife
to see her left arm hanging off the chair. He went over to her,
lifted the arm into the air and asked her to keep it raised. It
fell to the ground. He became concerned and called for the
[**Hospital3 **] facility nurse who examined the patient and
activated EMS after discovering similar findings. In the
ambulance, she began moving her left arm a little more but it
still was significantly weak. She denied any headache, visual
problems, loss of consciousness, extremity shaking, or
numbness/tingling.

Pertinent Results:
Laboratory results: CBC, CHEM-7, U/A all within normal limits.
HEAD CT/CTA ([**7-11**]): No evidence of acute intracranial
hemorrhage. Questionably asymmetrical left ventricular
dilatation. Left vertebral artery is occluded just below the
skull base. The nature and duration of this finding is unknown.
Flow is present in the other major branches of the circle of
[**Location (un) 431**]. No evidence of large territorial infarct or enhancing
lesion.
Brief Hospital Course:
In the emergency department, her systolic blood pressure was in
100s. A CT of head was consistent with chronic microvascular
disease without hemorrhage; CT with angiography demonstrated
calcifications of the ICAs and L vertebral artery occlusion.
Clinically, she had an ischemic stroke in right cerebral
hemisphere. Therefore, pt was admitted to the Neuro ICU for
pressors to elevate her blood pressure. However, she refused
central line, arterial line and Neo-Synephrine for BP
maintenance. She did agree to aspirin, and she was started on
heparin as well for her paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, which
was the likely etiology of her stroke. She initially refused
warfarin. As her blood pressure increased, her symptoms
gradually improved and she was transferred to the floor.
TTE demonstrated no significant sources of thrombus and carotid
duplex u/s demonstrated <40% flows bilaterally (as per tech at
bedside; pending final read). On [**7-13**], following discussion with
pt and PCP, [**Name10 (NameIs) **] accepted anticoagulation with warfarin and
aspirin was discontinued. Her exam demonstrated mild improvement
to her weakness. However, she continues to have some left-sided
weakness, and PT/OT evaluation recommended a short stay at an
acute rehabilitation facility.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 59 year old male with
a history of coronary artery disease status post multiple
stents, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus
type 2, who presents with an episode of choking sensation,
discomfort with radiation from the stomach to the chest,
worse with exertion. It started the evening prior to
admission. It was relieved with two sublingual
Nitroglycerin and the chest discomfort recurred with nausea
and diaphoresis with a mild headache. He took two aspirin
and went to sleep. Later that morning, the patient noted a
left sided chest discomfort which had returned and presented
to the Emergency Department. He was given sublingual
Nitroglycerin which relieved the pain.
The patient was started on a heparin drip. He had already
taken his beta blocker and aspirin at home. The patient
noted episodes exactly the same of this prior anginal episode
denied.

Brief Hospital Course:
61 y/o male with metastatic rectal ca diagnosed [**3-26**] s/p xrt
(last [**6-25**]) and chemo (last [**2120-9-25**]) who was admitted with
diarrhea, fever, and neutropenia who developed hypoxemia, lactic
acidosis, and confusion. Since his admission, the patient's
diarrhea and fevers had progressively improved on cefepime,
vancomycin, and metronidazole as well as Lomotil. Since then
his course has been complicated by a steadily declining
hematocrit (33 to 25 over the admission), worsening
thrombocytopenia, and a new coagulopathy (INR up to 5.4). On
[**10-12**], he was noted to be hypoxemic and had chest x-ray showing
only a distended stomach and a CTA with no PE (but also a
distended stomach and known liver mets). ABG was 7.44/25/63
then 7.32/21/84 that afternoon. His oxygen requirement waxed
and waned, from mid 80's on room air to mid 90's on room air.
His hypoxemia persisted and the patient became increasingly
tired, confused, and tachypneic. A repeat ABG was 7.3/19/75 but
his lactate had climbed from 3.5 to 8.0. He was transferred to
the ICU at which time he was fatigued and appeared disoriented.
In this setting, he denied pain (including abdominal) as well as
dyspnea despite obvious tachypnea and mild accessory muscle use.
He was started on IVF with 3 amps bicarb, lactate trended down,
acidosis resolving. CT abdomen showed SBO with no obvious cut
off for obstruction a NGT placed and medical management
recommeneded by surgery. Primary oncologist Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]
continued to follow.
In the ICU he was found to have guiaic positive NGT
secretions. He was transfused PRBCs for a dropping HCT. In
addition he was noted to have an elevated INR for which he was
treated with FFP. He was evaluated by surgery who felt him to
be a poor surgical candidate. For his confusion a CT of his
head was performed which was negative for bleed or other change.
His hypoxia resolved and was felt to be due to aspiration
initially. He was treated with TPN given his poor nutritional
status. He was treated with octroetide per surgery recs with no
improvement. On [**2120-10-18**] a family meeting was held at which
time it was decided that the goal of care was maximal comfort.
At that meeting it was decided to continue with fluids and
analgesia but to limit other medications and TPN. The family
will provide Chinese herbs and prayer.
.
# GI: Diarrhea was believed to be chemo-induced diarrhea. The
patient was covered with cefepime, vancomycin, and flagyl given
neutropenic fever. The CT of abdomen on admission did not show
any inflammatory processes in the abdomen. The patient was given
supportive care with IVF and Lomotil once obtained stool samples
for cultures which were negative and his diarrhea improved with
lomotil. However, patient became acidotic and CT abdomen was
repeated and revealed SBO. NGT was placed and surgey was
consulted but did not feel that the patient was a good surgical
candidate. Patient was continued on medical management.
Octreotide was added to his regimen to help to relieve
obstruction. His lactate continued to trend down and NGT outout
began to slow. Patient denied any abdominal pain.
However, while in the ICU he developed bloody stools in the
setting of coagulopathy. This was felt to be likely secondary to
his rectal cancer. He was tranfused pRBCs and FFP. After several
bloody stools and rectal tube placement his bloody bowel
movements slowed, his coags improved and his hematocrit was
stable.
.
Coagulopathy: Likely DIC secondary to cancer. He devloped GI
bleed as mentioned above and was transfused several units of FFP
and pRBCs and 1 unit of platelets. By tranfer from the ICU his
HCT and INR was stable but platelets were 34. The patient and
family did not want any further transfusions as their goal was
comfort and this would require daily monitoring of his CBC and
coags.
.
# NEUTROPENIC FEVER: The patient was started on cefepime, vanco,
and flagyl on admission. He had some fevers early in his
hospitalization but remained afebrile for the rest of his
admission. He because hypoxic and acidotic and a CT chest was
otained which revealed likely aspiration/pneumonia. He was
continue on his antibiotics to complete a 14 day course and
received daily neupogen injections. By the 11th day of his
antibiotic course he was no longer neutropenic. His neupogen was
discontinued and he remained afebrile.
# AG METABOLIC ACIDOSIS: concerning for lactic acidosis [**1-24**] to
hypovolemia. Patient refused central line/sepsis protocol in
ED. He was hemodynamically stable on transfer to the floor.
Lactate normalized after IVF. Then the patient continued to have
non-anion gap acidosis [**1-24**] to diarrhea. ABG was obtained and
the patient appropriately compensated with decreased CO2 (25)
with normal pH 7.4-7.44. He then became more hypoxic and acidotc
and was tranferred to the ICU. In the ICU it was discoved that
he had an extremely dilated stomach and SBO. It was felt that
the lactic acidosis ,may have been secondary to the extreme
distension of his stomach given the rapid decline in his lactate
on decompression with NGT. His gap closed and his lactate
conitnued to tened down.
.
# RECTAL CANCER: Last chemotherapy was last avastin/5FU on [**9-25**].
Given that he did not tolerate this well, no further
chemotherapy was planned. He also developed what is believed to
be lower GI bleed, SBO and DIC during admission all which were
thaough to be related to his metastatic disease. Due to his poor
prognosis and worsening medical condition a family meeting was
held and the family and patient agreed that comfort was the most
important goal at this point. He was continued on IVF and the
NGGT was kept in place to prevent worsening pain from his SBO.
It was decided that no further blood products would be given.
.
FEN: Patient was actively hydrated in the setting of diarrhea
and acidosis. He was continued on IVF given his SBO. Given his
poor prognosis and that comfort was the goal, he was not started
on TPN, but rather hydrated with IVF in the setting of SBO.

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr [**Known lastname 1071**] was a same day admission to the operating room on [**10-22**]
at which time he had coronary artery bypass grafting. Please see
OR report for details. In summary he had CABG x5 with Left
internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending
coronary;
reverse saphenous vein single graft from the aorta to the
ramus intermedius coronary artery; reverse saphenous vein single
graft from the aorta to the first obtuse marginal coronary
artery; reverse saphenous vein single graft from the aorta to
the third obtuse marginal coronary artery; as well as reversed
saphenous vein
graft from the aorta to the posterior descending coronary
artery. Endoscopic left greater saphenous vein harvesting. His
bypass time was 115 minutes with a crossclamp of 96 minutes. He
tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the
operating room to the cardiac surgery ICU in stable condition.
He did well in the immediate post-op course, woke neurologically
intact and was extubated on the operative day. He remained
hemodynamically stable and was transferred from the ICU to the
stepdown floor on POD1. All tubes, lines and drains were removed
according to cardiac surgery protocols. He was noted to have a
transient rise in his serum creatinine from his baseline 2.0 to
2.6 which resolved over the next 36 hours. The remainder of his
post-op course was relatively uneventful. Over the next several
days his activity level was advanced with the assistance of
nursing and physical therapy. His medications were titrated to
effect and on POD 5 he was discharged home with visiting nurses.

Chief Complaint:
right upper extremity weakness, dyspnea
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
69 yo F with DM, COPD, metastatic breast CA s/p cycle 1 of
adriamycin/cytoxan [**5-29**] awaiting 2nd cycle who was recently seen
in [**Hospital **] clinic and noted to have persistent RUE weakness.
MRI C spine showed mets to C5-C7 causing moderate compression of
cord. She was admitted on [**8-9**] for spine eval and treatment.
She was started on steroids. Pt triggered on [**8-10**] afternoon for
hypotension, low UOP, and hypoxia. Pt refused interventions.
Started on broad abx and reportedly stabilized.
.
Tonight she was noted to be hypoxic to 85% on 6L. She was
"difficult to arouse." O2 sats improved with NRB. VBG showed
7.44/47/47 w lactate 1.0. Review of prior admit suggested that
she became altered almost nightly until rx with BiPAP which
successfully treated her sx. This was tried on the floor but
patient became hypoxic and did not tolerate mask. She is
admitted to ICU for w/u and rx with BiPAP.
.
Currently, she reports that she wants to be left alone. She
denies any CP, SOB, abd pain.
.
Of note, she was hypoxic during her previous admission in
[**Month (only) 116**]/[**Month (only) **]. At that point, the etiology was unclear. It was
thought [**2-23**] lymphangitic spread of tumor. Also considered PE
(although CTA neg) and tamponade (although echo not c/w hd sig
tamponade). Also considered fluid overload and she seemed to
improve somewhat with diuresis. It was ultimately thought that
sleep apnea was large contributor. She was treated w BiPap
nightly with significant improvement in mental status.
Past Medical History:
1. Diabetes. followed at [**Last Name (un) **] Diabetes Center. Her last
hemoglobin A1c was 6.0 in 05/[**2104**].
2. Hypercholesterolemia/?hypertension
3. Schizoaffective disorder. The patient is followed by Dr.
[**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1007**] and is on Clozaril with q 1 month CBCs
4. COPD/Asthma. The patient is maintained on Advair and
albuterol for this. She does state that she uses her albuterol
approximately one time per day. Her last pulmonary function
tests were in [**2096**].
5. h/o Falls
6. Back pain
7. ? Severe sleep apnea: as documented above and per recent d/c
summary. Improved with BiPAP in the unit last month.

TTE [**8-11**]:
Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left
ventricular cavity is unusually small. Regional left ventricular
wall motion is normal. Left ventricular systolic function is
hyperdynamic (EF>75%). Right ventricular chamber size and free
wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. There is no
valvular aortic stenosis. The increased transaortic velocity is
likely related to increased stroke volume due to aortic
regurgitation. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is
seen. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be
determined. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion.
There are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
IMPRESSION: Small, hyperdynamic left ventricle with normal
regional systolic function. Trivial pericardial effusion without
tamponade.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of [**2104-6-17**],
the pericardial effusion is smaller. The other findings are
similar.

Brief Hospital Course:
# Metastatic breast cancer: with C5-7 cord compression, right
upper extremity weakness improving on steroids. Also found to
have brain metastases and the patient has been treated with
Decadron. After extensive discussion with Ms. [**Known lastname 5655**], her HCP
and her outpatient psychiatrist, further chemotherapy or
radiation was refused. She was determined to have capacity to
make this decision and understands the risk of paralysis without
treatment. She will be discharged to maximize functional status
and control symptoms.
.
# Resp failure/hypoxia: intermittent and likely related to
obstructive sleep apnea. Ms [**Known lastname 5655**] refused all interventions,
including BiPAP/CPAP and occassionally oxygen. She was treated
with an 8 day course of antibiotics for health care associated
pneumonia with improvement in her pulmonary status. She was
maintained on nebulizer treatments and was on 4L O2 nasal canula
at discharge.
# Altered ms: underlying psychiatric illness with intermittent
hypoxia related to obstructive sleep apnea and brain metastases.
She waxed and waned through the hospitalization, but was at our
observed baseline at discharge. Her outpatient dose of
clozapine was continued initially however the patient had
periods of agitation during her admission and the clozapine was
held. Her agitation was treated with ativan and zydis as needed.
The clozapine was not restarted on discharge.
# Hypotension: The patients home dose of lisinopril was held
second to her hypotension on admission. Her blood pressure
remained in the 130/60-70s so the lisinopril was not restarted.
She may need to be monitored for hypertension and be
re-evaluated by her primary physician when lisinopril can be
restarted safely.
# ID: For her cough with productive sputum, the patient
completed a course of vancomycin and zosyn. Her cough improved
and she remained afebrile for the duration of her admission. At
discharge she was complaining of dysuria and frequency, but was
unable to provide a urine sample. She will be empirically
treated with a 7 day course of ciprofloxacin (history of
pan-sensitive e.coli in the past)
# DM: Outpatient doses of NPH were continued including a sliding
scale insulin as needed.
#Seizure: the day prior to discharge, she had new onset complex
partial seizure manifested as left lateral eye gaze with
blinking and incontinence. The seizure activity was stopped
with 2mg IV ativan. She was started on Keppra 500 mg [**Hospital1 **] without
any recurrence of seizure activity.

.
EKG demonstrated NSR at 87 bpm, nl axis, nl int, LVH w/ strain
pattern, no ischemic changes.
.
CXR: Moderate to severe enlargement of the cardiac silhouette,
and particularly the left atrium accompanied by pulmonary
vascular congestion and mild pulmonary edema consistent with
heart failure.
.
Conclusions:
The left atrium is moderately dilated. There is moderate
symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with mild cavity dilation and severe
global
hypokinesis. No left ventricular thrombus is seen. Tissue
Doppler imaging
suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP>18mmHg). The
right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with severe free wall
hypokinesis.
The aortic valve leaflets (3) are minimally thickened. No aortic
stenosis or
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
structurally
normal. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is
seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
There is a
very small circumferential pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Moderate symmetric eft ventricular hypertrophy with
severe global
biventricular hypokinesis c/w diffuse process (toxin, metabolic,
cannot
exclude myocarditis; in the absence of LVH on ECG, an
infiltrative process
should also be considered). Mild mitral regurgitation. Moderate
pulmonary
arterial hypertension. Very small circumferential pericardial
effusion.
Possible abnormality on the aortic valve as described above
without aortic
regurgitation. .
If clinically indicated a TEE would be better able to define an
abnormality of
the aortic valve.
.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
46-yo-man w/ cocaine abuse presents w/ LE edema and DOE likely
from diastolic heart failure in the setting of cocaine use
complicated by hypertensive urgency.
.
Hypertensive urgency: BP 230/170 on presentation, most likely
from chronic HTN exacerbated by cocaine use. No signs of
end-organ damage at present except for elevated creatinine,
which is more likely a chronic problem. The patient was started
on labetalol and Lisinopril. His blood pressure was taken down
from 230 systolic to approx 160 systolic/100 diastolic on
discharge. His lower extremity edema improved with diuresis. An
echo performed on admission showed an LF EF of 25%. It is hoped
with good blood pressure control and use of an ACE-I with follow
up in addition to cocaine abstaining will improved his cardiac
function.
.
Renal Failure: creatinine on admission was 1.6 Likely acute
hypertensive nephropathy plus probalbe long-standing
hypertensive disease. discharged on ACE-I.
.
Substance Use: Social work saw patient and counceled him
regarding substance abuse.

# Hepatic failure/Tylenol overdose. The patient presented 16
hours after ingestion and therefore did not receive activated
charcoal. She received Mucomyst load and then maintenance
dosing. The patient was initially communicative without any
signs of encephalopathy. LFTs/coags/CBC/chem 10 were monitored
q6h initially which showed trending up LFTs and coags but no
chemistry abnormalities. 12 hours after admission, however, on
the morning of [**6-28**], pt rapidly developed mental status change
accompanied by n/v then later seizure. Pt was given 2mg iv
Ativan which resolved seizure and was urgently intubated for
airway protection and a central line was placed. Stat neuro
consult and head CT was obtained with was negative for cerebral
edema or bleed. For presumed cerebral edema, hypertonic saline
was administered to keep Na 145-155 and Keppra was started for
seizure. Pt did not further seizures afterward. Her AST and ALT
peaked at [**2038**] and 3413, respectively on [**6-28**]. Her INR peaked at
3.3 on [**6-29**]. Then all LFTs and coags trended down. Her Mucomyst
IV gtt was stopped on [**7-3**] and she was transferred to the floor
for further management. Her Keppra was subsequently discontinued
per neurology recommendations. She did not have any further
seizure activity on the floor, and daily neurological exams were
normal. Patietn did have episodes of visual hallucinations and
disorientation on arrival to the floor, which were thought to be
c/w delirium. Her mental status cleared by time of transfer.

MICRO/PATH:
.
CDiff Antigen [**11-2**]: Negative
.
IMAGING/STUDIES:
.
Abdominal XR [**10-30**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of obstruction, ileus, or free air.
2. Pneumobilia, consistent with a recent ERCP.
.
CT Abd/Pelvis [**11-1**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. Minimal stranding about the pancreatic head could reflect
pancreatitis.
2. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
.
CXR Portable [**11-4**]:
Heart size is upper limits of normal. Prominent pericardial fat
is seen on
the CT scan. There is blunting of the left CP angles, consistent
with known pleural effusion as seen on the prior CT scan. There
is likely atelectasis at the lung bases. There are no signs for
overt pulmonary edema or focal
consolidation.
.
Interventional Radiology Procedure [**11-4**]:
IMPRESSION: Successful prophylactic coil embolization of the
GDA, as
described above.
.
Brief Hospital Course:
79F with hx of severe CAD s/p DES in LAD in [**2171**], COPD on 2LNC
at home transferred from OSH for emergent ERCP for
choledocolithiasis who developed chest pain post-procedure with
ST depressions on EKG. Course further complicated by post ERCP
pancreatitis, GI bleeding now s/p IR embolization, as well as
NSTEMI, with trop of 2.87.
.
ACTIVE DIAGNOSES:
.
# CAD/NSTEMI: Pt with report of severe chest pain with worsened
ST depression in lateral leads post ERCP. First set of enzymes
an hour after development of chest pain negative and on transfer
to the CCU, she was chest pain free. The patient was initially
continued on her ASA, statin, beta blocker, and lisinopril. The
patient was on ticlodopine as a home medication because of an
allergy to plavix. However, during the hospitalization, the
patient refused her ticlodopine secondary to it making her
nauseous. The patient complained on intermittent chest pain
during the admission; EKGs during periods of pain were unchanged
from priors, and CE were initially negative. However, during one
episode the patient was found to have an elevated troponin, 0.80
first, then up to 2.87, with CK-MB 94 and 72, respectively.
EKGs remained unchanged from priors. Because of this troponin
bump in the setting of the patient refusing her ticlodopine, the
patient was started on Prasugrel daily. However, the prasugrel,
as well as other antiplatelets, were soon held, as the patient
developed a GI bleed. Once the bleed resolved (see below), the
patient was restarted on aspirin only. Upon discharge, she was
on a beta blocker and ACE, as well.
.
# HTN Urgency: Pt with asymptomatic HTN as high as the 190's in
the unit with widened pulse pressure, likely exacerbated in the
setting of N/V and pain. While on the floor the patient had
intermittent episodes of elevated blood pressures (180s-190s),
usually in conjunction with abdominal pain. Given the concern
for ischemia, the patient's pressures were aggressively
controlled and she was initially on a Nitro drip. The patient's
home clonidine was titrated off her medication list, and
Nifedipine was also stopped. The patient was stabilized on a
regimen of Carvedilol 25 mg [**Hospital1 **], Captopril 50 mg TID, and Imdur
60 mg daily. During episodes of elevated blood pressures, a
Nitro drip was also used to help maintain pressures. Upon
discharge, the patient's blood pressures were well controlled on
Carvedilol, Captopril, and Imdur.
.
# GIB s/p ERCP: The patient developed a GI bleed in the post
ERCP period, with downtrending crits. She was transfused PRBC
to maintain crit >30, given her CAD history, as well as
development of troponin increase and evidence of end organ
ischemia. The patient started having maroon colored liquid
bowel movements. She was never hemodynamically unstable; ERCP
was made aware and an emergent EGD was done. The patient was
bleeding from her sphincterotomy site, epinephrine was injected,
and hemostasis achieved. However, a second source of bleeding
was seen, as well. Epi was injected and coagulation was also
attempted, but the vessel kept oozing. A clip could not be
placed because of technical difficulties with the side viewing
ERCP scope. IR was made notified and the patient's crits and
vitals were monitored closely. Because of a ~6 point crit drop,
IR was contact[**Name (NI) **] and the patient underwent embolization. The
procedure went well and a coil was placed in a vessel. S/p
procedure, the patient's crits and vitals were stable. No
further evidence of GIB seen. During this period, all
antiplatelets were held; however, after her vitals and crit were
stabilized, the patient was restarted on ASA 325 daily. Overall
she required 8 units of blood. All other antiplatelet agents,
including Prasugrel, were stopped. During this episode, the
patient's beta blockers were also held and the patient's blood
pressure was controlled with Captopril and Imdur. Once her UGIB
resolved, her beta blockers were restarted.
.
# Choledocolithiasis: The patient was initially transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**] for emergent ERCP for cholangitis. She had a white count
of 20K, moderately elevated alk phosphate and transaminitis.
The patient was found to have a CBD stone and a sphincterotomy
was performed; was also found to have mild dilatation of the
biliary tree. She was started on Zosyn, and later switched to
Unasyn the morning after the procedure, and was later
transitioned to PO Augmentin and completed a total 10 day course
of antibiotics.
.
# Post-ERCP panceatitis: The patient developed epigastric pain
post procedure, and found to have a lipase ~4000. She was kept
NPO and given IV morphine for pain control. The patient was
hydrated with 200cc NS/hour, with careful monitoring of her
volume status on her exam, given her cardiac history. ERCP
continued to follow the patient while in the CCU. Her lipase
started trending down and the patient's pain control regimen was
transitioned from IV to PO Dilaudid, in addition, to keeping her
on her home pain regimen for chronic back pain. The patient's
nausea was treated with zofran and phenergan, as needed. By
discharge she was weaned to her home chronic pain regimen of PO
oxycodone and fentanyl patch.
.
# Elevated INR/Mild thrombocytopenia: Pt with INR of 2.2 despite
not being on anticoagulation. This was assessed as being related
to nutritional deficiency. She was given PO vitamin K and her
INR improved.
.
CHRONIC DIAGNOSES:
.
#COPD: Pt on 2LNC at home baseline without any home medications.
She was given iptratropium nebs PRN and was maintained on her
home oxygen.
.
# CKD: Baseline Cr of 1.1 which remained stable during this
admission
.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
#We determined that this patient likely no longer needs a second
anti-platelet [**Doctor Last Name 360**] in addition to her aspirin. Additionally, it
seems that as an outpatient she was poorly compliant with
ticlid. This information was communicated in advance to her
outpatient cardiologist. Cardiology: [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 28181**] [**Name8 (MD) 81956**] MD [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Hospital1 **] MA (Medical Group) Phone: ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 72499**]. She was
switched to atorvastatin 80mg while in house given her troponin
leak and concern for ACS but given her current insurance
situation she was discharged on her home simvastatin 80mg. This
can be addressed in the outpatient setting.

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital with gallstone pancreatitis
(stone in your bile duct causing pancreatitis). This was removed
and the duct was widened. Your blood pressure was low and it was
found that you had some bleeding from the procedure site, this
was fixed and your blood count has been stable after 4 units of
blood. You were on antibiotics after the procedure and nystatin
cream to treat vaginitis. You needed additional pain medicine
but you are now back on your home doses of oxycodone and
fentenyl.
You had a heart attack after the procedure but are recovering
well and your echocardiogram did not show any decrease in your
heart function.
.
We made the following changes to your medicines:
1. STOP taking Ticlid, nifedipine, metoprolol and clonidine
2. START taking Imdur to prevent further chest pain
3. START taking carvedilol instead of the metoprolol to slow
your heart rate, this medicine lowers your blood pressure as
well.
4. START taking nystatin tablets intravaginally to treat the
vaginitis, you only need 5 more days of this medicine
5. INCREASE the aspirin to 325 mg daily because of your heart
attack
6. INCREASE the Lisinopril to 40 mg daily.
7. RESTART the compazine as needed for nausea.

Brief Hospital Course:
He was admitted to the Trauma Service and transferred to the
Trauma ICU for close monitoring given his multiple injuries.
Serial hematocrits were followed and remained stable (discharge
hematocrit was 32).
Orthopedic Spine surgery was consulted for concern for cervical
spine injury; he was cleared clinically and radiographically and
the collar was removed.
Orthopedics was consulted for the pelvic fracture and for
concern for possible shoulder injury. Both injuries were managed
non operatively; he was cleared for weight bearing as tolerated.
A right shoulder MRI showed that there were no fractures, rather
it revealed only a sprain. It was recommended that Lovenox be
initiated once injuries from his injured spleen and kidney were
stabilized.
His pain was controlled with Vicodin prn and he was also started
on a bowel regimen.
Social work was also consulted for coping given that there was a
passenger fatality at scene and also because of + BAL.
He was evaluated by Physical therapy and was cleared for
discharge to home with his family. Instructions for follow up
were provided.

Chief Complaint:
s/p cath for NSTEMI, Vfib arrest, GIB
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
endotracheal intubation
central line placement
CVVH
cardiac catheterization
History of Present Illness:
HPI: 64yo woman with DM, HTN, ESRD on [**Hospital 58910**] transferred to the CCU
service from the MICU s/p cardiac catheterization. The patient
was in her home the day prior to admission cooking when she felt
like she was going to pass out and then lost consciousness. EMS
came and found her to have a v-fib arrest. They defibrillated 7
times in the field and brought her to [**Hospital 63273**] Hospital
[**Telephone/Fax (2) 63274**]). Here she was shocked three more times.
She was found to be hyperkalemic with an EKG showing widened QRS
and peaked T waves. At the OSH, she was treated with insulin,
glucose, and bicarb for hyperkalemia (6.5) and was started on an
amiodarone drip.
.
She was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] hemodynamically stable and
intubated. Here, she was found to have a K of 7, and was treated
with bicarb, Ca, insulin and glucose. She was dialyzed yesterday
night with improvement in her K to 4.4 and resolution of her EKG
changes. She was started on levophed for hypotension and was
noted to have an elevated WBC with a left shift. She was also
noted to have an elevation in cardiac enzymes (CK 1440->1348, MB
27-23, MBI 1.9-1.7, Trop 0.39) and new [**Last Name (LF) **], [**First Name3 (LF) **] cardiology was
consulted.
.
Cardiology recommended that she go for an urgent cardiac
catheterization. At cath, she was noted to have 3+ MR< LVEF of
40%, and severe inferior hypokinesis. She had a 90% mid-LAD
lesion, a 70% LCx lesion at the ramus, and a 100% proximal RCA
lesion. She had two stents placed to the mid-LAD, but during the
procedure she vomited coffee-ground emesis and the
catheterization was terminated. She had an OGT placed but she
chewed it and it was removed. She was admitted to the CCU
service.
.
Notably, she has a history of GIB in the past per her husband.
[**Name (NI) **] does not know any details, but said that this occurred while
she was on heparin and prevented her from getting a renal tx at
the time. She apparently did not need hospitalization for this
and the etiology was never discovered, per the husband.

Pertinent Results:
**SELECTED STUDIES**
SPINE MRI:
IMPRESSION: Endplate irregularity and enhancement at T7-8 level
is suggestive of discitis. However, in the absence of soft
tissue changes or abscess, the findings are not specific. Dual
energy gallium/bone scan would be helpful for further
evaluation. Other changes as above.
MRI HEAD ([**10-6**]):
IMPRESSION: 1. Limited study consisting only of DWI and FLAIR
sequences. The signal abnormality involving both medial temporal
lobes, insula bilaterally, and cingulate gyri appears to have
progressed, and demonstrates abnormal signal on
diffusion-weighted imaging.
2. New high signal intensity in the CSF overlying the right
parietal lobe, incompletely assessed. A focal area of
non-herpetic meningitis cannot be excluded.
CXR: ([**10-7**]):
A single portable chest radiograph again demonstrates an
endotracheal tube with its tip at the clavicular heads. A
left-sided central venous catheter is present with its tip in
the IVC. No right-sided central venous catheter is evident. No
pneumothorax. A nasogastric tube is present with its tip in the
stomach. Right hilar contour is unchanged from previous study of
[**2137-10-4**]. Retrocardiac opacity and mild pulmonary edema remain
unchanged.
CAROTID US ([**10-7**]):
IMPRESSION: Minimal plaque with bilateral less than 40% carotid
stenosis.
UE US ([**10-7**]): 1) No evidence of deep venous thrombosis or
collection.
Abd/pelvic CT ([**10-7**]):
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence for abscess.
2. Right kidney complex hyperdense lesion likely consistent with
renal cell carcinoma and less likely a complex hemorrhagic cyst.
3. Mild intrahepatic ductal dilatation.
4. Right lung nodule.
5. Splenic infarct.
ECHO ([**10-8**]):
Conclusions:
1. The left atrium is mildly dilated.
2. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal cavity size and systolic function (LVEF>55%). Regional
left ventricular wall motion is normal.
3. The aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is
mild aortic valve stenosis.
4. The mitral valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is
severe mitral annular calcification. There is moderate
thickening of the mitral valve chordae. Mild (1+) mitral
regurgitation is seen.
5. No obvious evidence of endocarditis seen.
6. Compared with the findings of the prior study of [**2137-9-25**],
there has been no significant change.
EEG ([**10-8**]):
IMPRESSION: Abnormal EEG due to overall slowing suggestive of a
diffuse
moderate encephalopathy with superimposed bursts and runs of
sharp and
slow, spike and slow discharges suggesting marked increase to
irritability overall.
Brief Hospital Course:
* Hypotension - The hypotension could have been from infection,
cardiogenic shock, or medications; there were no signs of
hemorrhage/volume depletion or neurogenic compromise. The
patient remained persistantly hypotensive on levophed during her
2 week stay in the MICU, with the addition of vasopressin and
continued hypotension. She received antibiotics and antivrials
to treat possible infections; her MRI was suggestive of HSV
encephalitis although CSF cultures were negative, and only one
set of sputum cultures ([**9-28**]) were positive, with no positive
blood cultures. An abdominal CT showed no source of infection,
there was no pneumonia seen on chest x-rays and no sign of
thrombophlebitis on US. Her LFTs showed no suggestion of hepatic
or biliary infection. ECHOs showed good cardiac function, making
cardiogenic shock unlikely. After two weeks of no improvement in
her overall status, family discussions about goals of care and
code status were initiated. From the first conversation, her
family (husband and children) were adamant that she would not
have wanted continued mechanical support and probably would not
have wanted admission in the first place. She was made DNR/DNI
and, after continued discussions, CMO with withdrawal of pressor
support and antibiotics. After a time of extreme hypotension
(SBPs 20s) and bradycardia, and after further discussion with
her family, the ventilator was turned off and she passed away.
Her family declined an autopsy and the ME declined the case.
.
* Mental Status changes: After her first extubation in the CCU
the patient was noted to have an asymmetric neuro exam, with
concern for CVA but head CT negative. An MRI was suggestive of
temporal lobe enhancement suggesting HSV encephalitis and the
patient was maintained on acyclovir. An LP yielded no organisms
in culture. EEG showed severe encephalopathy without seizure.
After her reintubation in the CCU prior to transfer to the MICU,
the patient never regained a normal mental status.
.
* NSTEMI - On arrival in the MICU, the patient was s/p cath,
able to get stents in LAD before termination. Pt only on Reopro,
which was stopped, ASA and plavix. No heparin. ASA and plavix
were continued. Repeat ECHOs showed good EF (>55%) and no
abnormalities to explain the patient's persistant hypotension.
.
* GI Bleed - The patient had a h/o GIB, and was on multiple
meds for cath that were anticoagulants, so the GIB not
surprising. NG lavage cleared. She received blood transfusion at
the time and had no reoccurrance of bleeding, with a stable
hematocrit.
.
* Vfib arrest- The etiology is most likely ischemic given h/o
chest pain prior to event. This acidosis probably caused
hyperkalemia as well, as pt's K was very high. There were no
more episodes of vfib or arrythmia during admission and the
patient received stents with ECHOs showing good function.
Electrolytes were monitored daily.
.
*Renal failure/hyperkalemia - She was followed by the renal team
and maintained on CVVH as her blood pressure permitted.
.
*DM - She was monitored closely and treated with an insulin
drip.
.
*Prophylaxis: - no sc heparin as initial GI bleeding; pneumatic
boots, PPI, bowel regimen
*Communication - with husband [**Name (NI) **] [**Name (NI) 42632**] ([**Telephone/Fax (1) 63275**]),

[**2114-9-16**] Doppler Ultrasound BLE:
No deep venous thrombus in either lower extremity.
The posterior tibial and peroneal veins in the left calf are not
well imaged.
.
[**2114-9-17**] ECHO: The left atrium is moderately dilated. Left
ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. Due to
suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. There is mild to moderate global left
ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 40%). [Intrinsic left
ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed given the
severity of valvular regurgitation.] The estimated cardiac index
is borderline low (2.0-2.5L/min/m2). Right ventricular chamber
size is normal with mild global free wall hypokinesis.
[Intrinsic right ventricular systolic function is likely more
depressed given the severity of tricuspid regurgitation.] The
aortic valve is bicuspid with moderately thickened leaflets.
There is critical aortic valve stenosis (valve area <0.8cm2).
Moderate (2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. Moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
Moderate to severe [3+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There
is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a
very small circumferential pericardial effusion.
.
IMPRESSION: Bicuspid aortic valve with critical aortic valve
stenosis. Moderate aortic regurgitation. Moderate-severe mitral
regurgitation. Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
.
PATHOLOGY:
[**2114-9-23**] Cervical biopsy: Squamous carcinoma, at least in-situ
(see note).
Note:
There is extensive fragmentation and necrosis and evaluation for
invasion is limited
Brief Hospital Course:
#Uroseptic shock - Treated empirically with vanc/zosyn.
Supported with vasopressors from [**9-17**] to [**9-21**]. No organism
isolated. Zosyn changed to cipro/[**Last Name (un) 2830**] on [**9-21**] b/c of initial
concern for VAP (did not pan out). Meropenem discontinued in
favor of cefepime when a rash developed. Cipro monotherapy began
[**9-23**] to complete 14 day course for complicated UTI.
.
#Respiratory failure - Intubated [**9-17**] in the setting of unstable
tachycardia and flash pulmonary edema. Treated with antibiotics
and diuresis and extubated uneventfully on [**9-23**].
.
#Atrial fibrillation - DCCV on [**9-17**] and [**9-20**] for AFib with RVR
with conversion to sinus rhythm. Started heparin [**9-24**].
Discontinued on [**9-27**] given hematuria.
.
#Acute kidney injury - Secondary to shock, with peak Cr 2.0
([**9-14**]), improved with fluid resuscitation. Then Cr up to 1.8
([**9-21**]) due to acute on chronic systolic CHF which improved with
diuresis.
.
#Aortic stenosis - [**Location (un) 109**] 0.5cm2 by TTE. Cardiology offerred
valvulplasty if patient were to undergo aggressive management of
cervical cancer.
.
#Hydronephrosis - Secondary to bulky metastatic disease. Perc
nephrostomy placed [**9-15**] and readjustment for malpositioning on
[**9-16**].
.
#Rash - Likely contact dermatitis based on distribution over
dorsal surfaces and back.
.
#Cervical SCC - Biopsy [**9-23**] showed squamous carcinoma, at least
in-situ (evaluation for invasion is limited) due to extensive
fragmentation and necrosis. Plan per gyn-onc was to offer
palliative treatment following resolution of acute issues given
extent of disease.
.
#Recurrent Respiratory Failure- patient had acute onset dyspnea
consistent with flash pulm edema on [**9-27**], with respiratory
status temporarily stabilized with non-invasive mechanical
ventilation. She then experienced another episode of a. fib
with RVR and flash pulm edema overnight [**Date range (1) 6231**]. She required
endotracheal intubation. Following intubation, patient had
persistent hypotension with profound lactic acidosis. Patient's
family was called to her bedside on morning of [**2114-9-28**], and
decision was made to withdraw life-sustaining measures. Patient
passed away shortly thereafter.

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient was admitted [**2143-12-12**] after severeal days of right upper
and lower extremity weakness ultimately leading to lost of
balance and head trauma s/p fall in shower. Head Ct in outside
hospital revealex left frontal mass confirmed by repat CT in
[**Hospital1 18**]. Dilantin loading dose 1gm to be followed by 100mg TID was
initiated. Additionally Decadron 4mg Q6 hours along with MRI of
the Head with and without contrast, Chest/Abdominal/Pelvic CT,
bone scan, ESR, CRP, CEA ere added for work up. MRI revealed
Left frontal lobe mass along the medial aspect of the brain
suggestive of a primary neoplasm glioblastoma appears more
likely than oligodendroglioma. Pateint was preop and consented
for resection of frontal lobe mass. Procedure was peformed
[**2143-12-10**] without complication and transfered to PACU. Please see
operative report for details. Postoperative day 2 [**2143-12-12**] @
1802 patient expired after suffering an episode of pulseless
electrical activity (PEA). Family was notified and refused

Because of her abdomenal pain, Surgery was consulted. A CT of
the abdomen was obtained showing marked thickening of the right
colon and proximal transverse colon indicating grangrenous
bowel. A decision was made to take the patient immediately to
the operating room for an exploratory laporotomy.
Intra-operatively, the patient was found to have ischemic bowel
with gangrene and a right colectomy was performed. She
tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the surgical
intensive care unit. The she was intubated and sedated and
closely monitorred by both the ICU team and the primary team, as
well as other consulting services to optimize her recovery. She
slowly recovered over the course of a few days and was
extubated. She soon became strong enough to be transferred to
the surgical floor were she began to tolerate regular meals,
pass flatus, and have good urine output. She also started to
work with the physical therapist to regain he straingth.
Eventually, she was able to be close to her baseline and was in
a good enough condition to be discharged home with services.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 32025**] is a 47 yo lady with active Crohn's disease, breast
cancer in remission, Factor V Leiden with h/o PE/DVT, who was
admitted to the ICU from an OSH with LGIB in the setting of a
Crohn's flare.
ICU Course:
In the ICU the pt was noted to be hemodynamically stable. She
had bloody bowel movements while receiving bowel prep for a
colonoscopy. Her colonoscopy was performed and showed friable
inflamed mucosa c/w Crohn's dz. The patient was treated with IV
steroids and Asacol without antibiotic coverage. Patient was
then transferred to the medicine floor for further management.
Her hospital course by problem is summarized below.
.
# Crohn's flare. Patient was followed by the GI team throughout
her stay. She continued to have small bloody BMs likely
secondary to her active disease and due to her need for ongoing
anticoagulation (see below). The main challenge with controlling
her disease was this need for anticoagulation. She was treated
with IV steroids and then a [**Known lastname **] taper. She was continued
on Asacol. She is to follow up with GI as an outpatient for
ongoing management. Upon discharge she was hemodynamically
stable for several days, tolerating POs and not having bloody
bowel movements.
.
# H/o PE/DVT with Factor V Leiden. Patient is on Coumadin as an
outpatient. On admission her INR was supratherapeutic likely
exacerbating her GI bleed. Patient was treated with FFP in the
ED for an INR of 3.5. Anticoagulants were thus held in the
setting of her active bleed. After her colonoscopy and once she
was not actively bleeding, a heparin gtt was started for short
term anticoagulation since it was felt that her risk of
thrombosis was high with her underlying disease. Initially her
PTT was difficult to control and required frequent adjustments
to her sliding scale however this later stabilized within the
therapeutic range. Upon discharge, she was restarted on Coumadin
with a Lovenox bridge. The patient has close follow up with
hematology.
.
# Breast CA s/p mastectomy w/reconstruction. No active issues.
.
# Nutrition. Patient was initially NPO and then her diet was
advanced slowly which she tolerated well without nausea,
vomiting or worsening diarrhea.
.
# Prophylaxis: PPI, anticoagulation as above, ambulation.
.
Patient remained a full code.

OTHER LABORATORY DATA: ALT 11, AST 14, T bilirubin 0.6,
amylase 84, lipase 138, albumin 3.5, alkaline phosphatase 85.
ASSESSMENT AND PLAN: The patient is a 76-year-old female
with dementia, metastatic cancer suspected melanoma as
primary with DNR/[**Hospital 24351**] transferred from hospice care with
recurrence of mental status change and found to have fever,
mild hypoxia, transient hypotension, and evidence of a right
lower lobe pneumonia by chest x-ray.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Hypotension: Responded to IV fluid administration. Was
no longer a persistent issue following IV fluid
administration and transfusion of 1 unit of packed red blood
cells.
2. Right lower lobe pneumonia: Patient received ceftriaxone
and Vancomycin on admission. Was ultimately continued on a
regimen of Levaquin and Flagyl for a total course of 14 days.
She is currently at day four of her regimen. Patient
continues to have a mildly productive cough, but has been
afebrile for the past 48 hours. Sputum culture was not
obtained. Blood cultures from [**8-27**] show no growth to
date.
3. Agitation/delirium: Patient was noted to be quite
agitated and delirious upon admission. She did receive
benzodiazepines in the Emergency Department and had been
receiving two antidepressants and two antipsychotic
medications. Her regimen was changed to include only Zyprexa
[**Hospital1 **] and trazodone q hs. Patient did require a sitter
throughout her admission, but had markedly improved agitation
control and improved orientation while on Zyprexa, although
restraints were necessary on the first night of the patient's
stay. She has done well with a sitter throughout her
hospital stay. We will continue q day dosing of Seroquel
with consideration of taper in the future when she is
oriented to a new environment.
4. Pain control: Patient is currently on a standing dose of
oxycodone, and will be continued on a standing dose of
OxyContin and oxycodone prn for breakthrough pain for control
of her ongoing pain, which is suspected to contribute to her
agitation at times.
5. Fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: Speech and Swallow
evaluation was refused by the patient's daughter. [**Name (NI) **]
was continued on mechanical soft diet with thickened liquids.
IV fluids were administered to bring the patient's blood
pressure back to within normal limits initially and then for
ongoing prevention of dehydration. Patient should continue
adequate hydration to avoid mental status changes from
dehydration.

Brief Hospital Course:
Patient is a 76 year-old man with a h/o type 2 Diabetes, HTN,
hyperlipidemia, CAD, and carotid stenosis who presented for
stenting of his left carotid artery.
# Carotid stenosis: Patient underwent a stenting of his right
carotid artery on [**2176-7-9**]. He returned to [**Hospital1 18**] for an elective
stenting of his left carotid artery, which had a stenosis of
60-69%. Patient became hypotensive after the procedure and was
admitted to the CCU. This episode was thought to be a vagal
response, and the patient did not have any further episodes
while in the CCU. The patient was restarted on his home regimen
of Plavix and aspirin and did not have any acute events while in
the hospital.
.
# Coronary Artery Disease: Patient has a significant history of
CAD. He had a PTCA w/ a DES to the RCA in [**2176**] and a two-vessel
CABG in [**2163**]. Patient had an ECG performed on this admission,
which showed no significant interval changes since 7/[**2176**]. The
patient did not have any symptoms or signs of ongoing ischemia
during this admission. He was continued on his outpatient
regimen of Plavix, Aspirin, Metoprolol, Imdur, and Valsartan,
and he was monitored on tele for the duration of his hospital
stay.
.
# Systolic Congestive Heart Failure: Patient had an ECHO
performed in [**2176-4-9**] which showed ischemia of the septum and
inferior wall, abnormal septal motion, and a LVEF of 51%.
Patient did not appear volume overloaded on physical exam during
this hospital stay, but he has a history of periodic lower
extremity edema. He has been taking Lasix prn as an outpatient.
On this admission, was monitored for signs of volume overload.
It was recommended that the patient follow up with his
cardiologist for a repeat ECHO as an outpatient to assess for
interval change.
.
# Anemia- Patient's Hct was consistently low on this admission.
Iron studies and hemolysis labs were sent, and the results were
consistent with anemia of chronic disease. Patient was also
found to have a new systolic ejection murmur on this admission,
which may have been related to this anemia. Patient's stools
were guiaiced on this admission, and they were consistently
negative. Patient was transfused one unit of PRBCs before his
carotid stent placement, and his Hct increased appropriately
from 27.0 to 29.3. Patient was continued on his ferrous
sulfate, and he had no other acute events while in the hospital.
.
# Diabetes: Patient has a history of type 2 diabetes, and he
takes oral anti-glycemics as outpatient. His physical exam was
consistent with peripheral neuropathy with decreased vibratory
sensation in his lower extremities bilaterally. Patient was
started on a regular insulin sliding scale while in the
hospital, but he refused to take insulin injections. His blood
sugars remained relatively well controlled, with a range of
100-180. Patient was discharged on his home regiment of oral
anti-glycemics.
.
# Chronic Kidney Disease: Patient has a GFR of 53, which is
consistent with stage 3 CKD. This is most likely due to
diabetes. Patient had improvement in his BUN/Cr to 29/1.3 with
hydration and Mucomyst. Patient had no acute events during this
admission and was continued on Valsartan.
.
# Hypertension: Patient has a history of hypertension. He was
continued on his home doses of Metoprolol, Valsartan, and HCTZ,
and he had no acute events during this admission.
.
# Hyperlipidemia: Patient has a history of hyperlipidemia and
was continued on his outpatient statin.
.

AP VIEW OF THE PELVIS, TWO VIEWS OF THE RIGHT HIP: Comminuted
right
intertrochanteric proximal femoral fracture is demonstrated with
varus
angulation and mild lateral displacement of the distal fracture
fragment. The hips demonstrate mild degenerative changes with
joint space narrowing. The sacroiliac joints and pubic symphysis
are not diastatic. There is diffuse demineralization of the
osseous structures. Degenerative changes are also seen involving
the lower lumbosacral spine. There are diffuse vascular
calcifications.
[**2116-7-14**]
CXR: There is moderate enlargement of the cardiac silhouette.
The mediastinal and hilar contours demonstrate unchanged
tortuosity of the thoracic aorta with vascular calcifications.
The pulmonary vascularity is not engorged. There are linear
opacities within the left lung base and right mid lung field
compatible with subsegmental atelectasis. There is no
pneumothorax or pleural effusion. No focal consolidation is
seen. Compression deformity of a low thoracic vertebral body is
present but similar compared to the prior study.

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms. [**Known lastname 76979**] presented to the [**Hospital1 18**] on [**2191-12-18**] via transfer
from [**Hospital3 3583**]. She was evaluated by the orthopaedic
surgery department and found to have a right distal femur
fracture. She was admitted, consented for surgery, cleared for
surgery by medicine. On [**2191-12-19**] she was taken to the operating
room and underwent [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 101**] plate to her right femur fracture.
She tolerated the procedure well, was extubated, transferred to
the recovery room, and then to the floor. On [**2191-12-20**] she was
transfused with 2 units of packed red blood cells due to acute
post operative anemia. She was seen by physical therapy to
improve her strength and mobility. On the evening of [**2191-12-21**] the
patient developed atrial fibrillation with heartrate up to the
170's that was not controlled with IV metoprolol and diltiazem.
Thus, on [**2191-12-22**] the patient was transferred to the SICU. In the
SICU the patient's atrial fibrillation was converted to normal
sinus rhythm on a diltiazem drip and was subsequently maintained
on oral atenolol with oral diltiazem as needed. She was also
transfused with 2 units of packed red blood cells due to acute
post operative anemia. On [**2191-12-23**] she was transferred out of the
SICU onto the orthopaedic floor.
The rest of her hospital stay was uneventful with her lab data
and vital signs within normal limits and her pain controlled.
She is being discharged today in stable condition.

Diagnostic Cerebral Angiogram: [**2103-4-29**] Posterior communicating
artery infundibulum
[**5-3**] CT-angiogram - A small volume of intracranial hemorrhage
persists, centered in the interpeduncular fossa, progressively
decreased since [**0-0-0**]. A small right posterior communicating
artery infundibulum is unchanged. There is no aneurysm or
embolic filling defect.
Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 77 year old female who was lifting a ten pound bag of
kitty litter
when she had sudden onset of severe headache and a stiff neck.
She went to bed in hopes that the headache would resolve but
woke
up four hours later with the same headache. She went to an
outside hospital where head CT was consistent with sunarachnoid
hemorhage and she was transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for further care.
On [**2103-4-29**] the patient was evaulated in the Emergency Department
by our service and the patient's only complaint was of headache.
The patient denied photophobia,motor weakness, sensory changes,
speech difficulty, visual changes or nausea and vomiting. She
was on coumadin for Atrial fibrillation and was given 4 units of
FFP and vitamin K at the outside hospital prior to arrival. A
CTA of the Head was performed which was consistent with an
interpeduncular fossa hemorrhage and perimesencephalic
hemorrhage as seen on outside hospital Head CT. No aneurysm or
dissection of the intracranial arteries. Mild atherosclerotic
irregularity. The patient was taken for a Diagnostic Cerebral
Angiogram which revealed a Posterior communicating artery
infundibulum. The patient was admitted to the Neurosurgical
Intensive Care Unit for close neurological assement and
monitoring. The keppra (seizure prophylaxis) was discontinued
per Dr [**First Name (STitle) **]. The patient was bradycardic 1400 40s-50 for the
rest of the day and hypotensive with systolic 93/51, but
asymptomatic. Cardiac enzymes were negative and a EKG was within
normal limits was. The patient was restarted on restarted
Aspirin.
On [**4-30**], The patient's Heart rate 60-70s. The patient was
neurologically intact. The patient was alert and oriented to
person, place, and time. She exhibited full strength and
sensation without pronator drift. The femoral site was clean
dry and intact without hematoma. The decision was made to keep
the patient in the ICU for another few days to monitor for
possible recurrence of brain hemorhage. The patient was deemed
low risk for vasospasm and in consideration of her hypotension
and cardiac history as well as home medication including calcium
channel blocker Diltiazem, the Nimodipine was discontinued.
Patient remained stable during her ICU course. She was
transferred to floor in stable condition.
She had an uncomplicated course. The patient's home dosing of
Diltiazem was restarted on [**5-4**]. Her coumadin dose was
restarted was dosed daily. Her last dose was 7.5mg scheduled
for [**5-4**] (INR 1.1). She was evaluated by PT/OT and they
recommended acute rehab. Now DOD, she is afebrile, VSS, and
neurologically stable. She is tolerating a good oral diet and
her pain is well controlled. She is set for d/c to acute rehab
in stable condition and will f/u accordingly.

The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and systolic
function (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
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The number of aortic valve
leaflets cannot be determined. There is no aortic valve stenosis
or regurgitation. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is
an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad.
Brief Hospital Course:
85 yo female resident of [**Hospital 100**] rehab with a history of COPD and
dementia presenting with shortness of breath, lethargy and fever
who was noted to have leukocytosis, CXR concerning for PNA, CT
evidence of ureteral stone, renal failure, and urine retention.
1. Dyspnea, RML atelectasis:
There was initial concern for a pneumonia or possible cardiac
etiology such as CHF or CAD so a CXR was obtained that
demonstrated a possible consolidation in the RML and a chest CT
was ordered. The chest CT demonstrated only atelectasis in the
RML and no acute lung processes and urine legionella was
negative. Thus, this was most likely a COPD exacerbation and it
was treated with albuterol nebs and ipratropium PRN. At
discharge the pt's 02 sats were in the upper 90's on room air.
2. Fever, hydronephrosis:
The patient had a U/A done while at [**Hospital 100**] Rehab that was
positive for leukocyte esterase, RBCs, and WBCs and was
emperically treated with 1g ceftriaxone IV. Thus, upon her
arrival to the [**Hospital1 18**] the following day, her U/A and urine cx
were negative. Mrs.[**Doctor Last Name 93601**] abdomen was noted to be distended
and a foley was placed that drained around 2 L of urine. She
began spiking high fevers so she was treated with IV
vanco/levo/ceftriaxone in the ED and admitted to the ICU with
concern for pyelonephritis. She received fluids and supplemental
02. Her temperature returned to [**Location 213**] and her 02 requirement
declined. Urology and IR were consulted, but opted not to
perform a procedure given her rapid clinical improvement. She
was then transferred to the medicine floor and her urine output
was maintained.
3. Renal failure/urinary retention:
Mrs.[**Known lastname 93602**] initial CR was 5.1 and she was hyperkalemic upon
presentation to the ED, most likely from her bladder distention.
Upon receiving a foley catheter and supplemental fluids, she
produced a good amount of urine and her Cr and potassium levels
returned to [**Location 213**]. She was also given kayexalate to expedite
the process. On [**9-24**] her foley was removed and she was
incontinent following monring, however did not void on own
subsequently, retaining up to 1L of urine in bladder. Thus, a
Foley catheter was reinserted and the patient was discharged
with it in place. The retention could be due to unresolved
constipation or perhaps neurogrnic causes, which can later be
considered with a Urology follow-up.

PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Coronary artery bypass grafting x3:
Left internal mammary artery grafted to the left anterior
descending with reverse saphenous vein graft to the posterior

diagonal branch.
ASSISTANT: [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 80112**], MD
ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia.
CLINICAL NOTE: Mr. [**Known firstname 1726**] [**Known lastname **] is a 78-year-old male with
symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, status post
right carotid endarterectomy, and known with peripheral
vascular disease with claudication and hypertension. He
underwent catheterization that showed severe 2-vessel disease
presenting for revascularization.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: After adequate anesthesia was
achieved and with the patient supine, he was prepped and
draped in the usual sterile manner. Median sternotomy was
performed through which the pericardium was exposed. The left
internal mammary artery was taken down to the level of the
left subclavian vein and divided distally after heparin was
given. Saphenous vein was harvested from the right lower
extremity using endoscopic vein harvesting system and
prepared in the usual fashion. The pericardium was exposed.
The patient was then heparinized. The ascending aorta was
cannulated with a soft-flow ascending aortic cannula. Three
stage venous cannula was placed through the right atrial
appendage. Retrograde coronary sinus cannula was placed
through the right atrial wall. He was placed on bypass and
the aorta was crossclamped. The heart was arrested with cold
antegrade blood cardioplegia followed by multiple retrograde
doses. The posterior descending artery was a small vessel but
was grafted to a segment of vein in end-to-side fashion with
running 7-0 Prolene. The first diagonal branch of the LAD was
a good size branch that was similarly grafted. The left
anterior descending artery was grafted to the mammary artery
in end-to-side fashion with a good size left internal mammary
artery. With the crossclamp in place, the 2 main grafts were
fashioned to the ascending aorta. Two punch aortotomies with
running 6-0 Prolene. Warm cardioplegia was given retrograde.
The crossclamp was released with the patient's head down
while de-airing the root. The grafts were de-aired and open
to flow. Epicardial pacing wires were placed. He was weaned
off bypass, decannulated after protamine administration and
once the field was dry, 1 left pleural and 2 mediastinal
tubes were left in place. The sternotomy was closed with
heavy steel wires and the presternal layers were closed with
Vicryl sutures. The skin was closed with subcuticular
closure. Dry dressing was applied. He tolerated the procedure
well and left the OR in stable condition.

CABG. He was being evaluated prior to Left fem-[**Doctor Last Name **] bypass. He
had failed a persantine-ett and cath showed severe ostial LAD
disease and 60% RCA disease. He was brought to the OR with Dr
[**Last Name (STitle) **] on [**2124-8-22**] for 3-vessesl CAD (LIMA-LAD, SVG-D1,
SVG-PDA). Please see operative report for full details.
Post-operatively he was transferred to the CVICU for invasive
monitoring.
Patient was noted to be in a junctional rhythm on POD 3 and
nodal blocking agents were held. As a result, he was NOT
restarted on beta blockers.
He was transferred to the step down floor on post-op day 4. He
remained in sinus rhythm from post-op day 4 to discharge. He was
evaluated by PT and cleared to be discharged to home.

Chief Complaint:
altered mental status
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
intubation
History of Present Illness:
36 yo M with h/o T12 paraplegia, CKD, and polysubstance abuse
who presents with altered mental status and overdose. Per
history from his mother, blood pressures had been running
150s-160s at home on his new dose of amlodipine 7.5 mg PO daily
prescribed by his PCP [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] 12/[**2181**]. She also reported that he was
slightly more depressed than usual and had not been going out as
frequently. Patient was in his usual state of health today until
after he ate dinner. His mother heard gurgling and went to his
room and subsequently found him with acutely altered mental
status, gurgling and moaning, very angry, but able to name the
president. Mother reports that his previous declines from UTIs
have been similar in their acuity. She called EMS to take him to
the ED. Pt received Narcan 2 mg IM x1 prior to arrival at ED
with little change in mental status. Pinpoint pupils noted. Per
previous discharge summaries, patient has been positive on
toxicology screens for benzos, opiates, and cocaine in the past.
Per mother, metoprolol is available at home, but she keeps it
locked up.
.
In the ED, VS were 96.4 48 177/104 100% on NRB Labs sig for
initial FS of 130, lactate of 2.0, trop-T of < 0.01, WBC of
11.5, and normal LFTs. Toxicology screen positive for benzos,
opiates, and cocaine. Patient triggered for altered mental
status and was intubated for altered mental status (described as
yelling garbled, unintepretable sounds) with Rocuronium and
Etomidate (succinylcholine not used as can prolong effects of
cocaine if used for intubation). Patient also received Atropine
1 mg IV x1, and Cefepime/Linezolid for broad UTI/meningitis
coverage. LP could not be performed b/c patient has rods in his
back and would require an IR guided LP. CXR negative for
aspiration event, Head CT negative for acute intracranial bleed.
Cardiology and toxicology were consulted. EKG with junctional
bradycardia. Cardiology thought no need for pacer given lack of
hypotension. Toxicology thought this could appear to be a mixed
ingestion, but did not think it was a beta-blocker or CCB
overdose, recommended serial FS, supportive care, and did not
recommend glucagon at this time. VS on transfer were: [**Telephone/Fax (2) 101746**] 100% on AC FiO2 40% 500 x 15 PEEP 5.
.
On the floor, patient is intubated and sedated. IV hydralazine
10 mg x1 was given with good effect on his blood pressure and
heart rate (HR up to 55, SBP down to 150/80).
Past Medical History:
- T12 paraplegia secondary to MVA in [**2165**]
- chronic kidney disease, with baseline creatinine of [**2-28**]
- history of MRSA decubitus ulcers
- chronic indwelling foley

coli, and enterococcus
- seizure disorder (last episode in [**2176**])
- history of c. diff colitis
- osteomyelitis in the right hip
- chronic back pain

Social History:
As per prior discharge summary, patient lives with his mother,
who is primary caretaker. [**Name (NI) **] a girlfriend, with whom he always
stays. Unemployed. Former heavy alcohol use, quit over 1.5 years
prior. Occasional prior marijuana. No tobacco use. No other
illicits. Cocaine positive on toxicology screens in the past
admissions.

Imaging:
Head CT ([**2182-2-14**]) - no acute intracranial process
Renal u/s: 1. No renal obstruction or son[**Name (NI) 493**] findings of

bladder.
Brief Hospital Course:
36 yo M with T12 paraplegia, CKD, and polysubstance abuse who
presents with altered mental status and overdose.
.
# Altered mental status: Patient admitted to the MICU with
altered mental status, likely in the setting of toxic/metabolic
etiology such as medication/drug overdose. Ct head showed no
acute process. Patient with positive toxicology screens for
opiates, benzos, and cocaine (and has been in past admission as
well), and is only medically prescribed oxycodone, percocet, and
klonopin. Of note, Oxycodone should only show up in GC/MS
toxicology send-out, not in the first pass urine toxicology
screen peformed in the ED, indicating patient may have been
taking other narcotics other than his prescribed oxycodone. Per
toxicology, symptoms are not consistent with a pure toxidrome,
therefore there are likely multiple substances on board.
Psychiatry was consulted, and they felt that patient was not
actively suicidal, that this overdose was a mistake. He was
given an outpatient psychiatry referral and was also provided
with substance abuse resources by social work.
.
# Respiratory Failure: Intubated for airway protection in the
setting of altered mental status. CXR appears clear and shows no
evidence of PNA or aspiration. Excellent oxygenation noted on
admission ABG. Pt was successfully extubated on HD #2.
.
# Bradycardia: EKG demonstrates sinus bradycardia and with a
junctional rhythm. No evidence of hypotension. [**Month (only) 116**] be combined
ingestion of benzos/opiates resulting in bradycardia. Definite
concern for [**Location (un) **] Reflex in the setting of hypertension, as
pt's HR improved with lowering of blood pressure with
hydralazine. Discussed with cardiology unofficially, no pacer
currently required for bradycardia given no evidence of
hypotension. Bradycardia improved over the course of his MICU
stay, no events of bradycardia on the floor. Was monitored on
tele.
# Hypertension: Likely in setting of cocaine overdose versus
medication non-compliance. Has hypertension with baseline SBPs
in 150s as outpatient, so well above his current baseline.
Likely non-compliant with home medications as well. Treated as
hypertensive emergency given altered mental status with IV
hydralazine 5 mg IV q6H goal SBP > 150. B-blockers were held in
the MICU given concern for cocaine use. Was restarted on
amlodipine (home medication) while on medical floor with
improvement in BP, did not require any PRN.
.
# Possible Overdose: Patient with positive toxicology screen,
history of polysubstance abuse and positive tox screens for
opiates, benzos, and cocaine in the past. Per mother, patient
has been more depressed recently. Seen by psychiatry as soon as
he was extubated; they felt that there was no acute danger of
suicide. Pt was also seen by social work in the MICU.
.
#. Chronic Kidney Disease: baseline Cre at 2.9. Medications
were renally dosed.
.
# ?UTI: pt with UA suggestive UTI on admission, also with
altered mental status c/w prior UTIs so was initially started on
cefepime. Urine culture came back no growth, a repeat UA was
checked which also was c/w UTI (however pt with chronic foley),
no growth on cx. Pt with flank pain (not tenderness; pt without
sensation below T12) and possible UTI, so renal u/s was done to
r/o abscess, pyelo, which was negative. Cefepime was dc'ed
after 5 days, was given a 2 day course of nitrofurantoin
(allergies to keflex, bactrim, cipro) to complete total 7 day
course. He will f/u with PCP.
.
#. Seizure disorder: continued Keppra (dosed IV while NPO).

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Right leg pain.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 56 year old white male
with known peripheral vascular disease status post right
fem-[**Doctor Last Name **] in [**2155**] for questionable popliteal aneurysm, who
presents to the emergency room with right calf pain since
[**70**]:30 p.m. on the day of admission while making deliveries.
He had not experienced this before and tried analgesics
without relief and at this point called EMS. There is no
clear history of claudication, but describes right knee pain
when carrying packages long distances. Can walk one city
block without pain, but does admit to numbness and tingling.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Hypertension.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Inguinal hernia repair. Right fem-PT
bypass in 12/97 with right fasciotomy.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
MEDICATIONS: Atenolol 50 mg q.d.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Alcohol abuse. Former smoker.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs 97.1, 70, 16, 210/111, O2
sat 94% in room air. General appearance was an alert, obese
male in mild distress and diaphoretic. HEENT exam was
unremarkable. On chest exam lungs were clear bilaterally.
Heart had regular rate and rhythm. Abdominal exam was obese,
soft, nontender. There were no masses. He had good rectal
tone and heme negative. On extremity exam the left lower
extremity was warm with palpable pulses. The right extremity
was cool to mid-thigh with mottling. Toes were blue. There
was sensation and he could weakly wiggle his toes. Pulse
exam showed radial pulses 2+ bilaterally, carotids 2+
bilaterally without bruits. Femoral pulses were 2+
bilaterally. Right [**Doctor Last Name **], DP and PT were absent. There was no
graft pulse. Left [**Doctor Last Name **], DP and PT were palpable.
LABORATORY DATA: On admission CBC with white count 6.4,
hematocrit 48.5. BUN 7, creatinine 0.7. EKG normal sinus
rhythm with V rate of 74, T wave changes in 1 and 3.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was initially elevated in the
emergency room and he was begun on heparin 5000 bolus and
continuous at 1500 units per hour with serial coags and
dosing adjusted accordingly. Patient's chest x-ray was
unremarkable. He was begun on a prophylactic alcohol
withdrawal program. On [**2162-4-6**] patient underwent an urgent
exploration of the right SFA, popliteal artery and PT with
thrombectomy of the right femoral-PT vein graft. The patient
tolerated the procedure well. He returned to the O.R. later
that day and underwent right BKA. On postoperative check
patient was extubated in the PACU. He remained
hemodynamically stable. Postoperative hematocrit was 34.7,
platelet count 50. This was serially monitored. He was
continued on a PCA and around-the-clock Ativan for DT
prophylaxis. Enzymes were cycled. Total CK was [**Numeric Identifier 105032**],
troponin 0.3. Patient remained stable and was transferred to
the VICU for continued monitoring and care. He was continued
on perioperative Kefzol while lines were in place.
The patient had liver enzymes done on admission which were
abnormal. He underwent an ultrasound of the liver which
showed fatty infiltration. T-max on postoperative day one
was 101.5. Hematocrit remained stable at 33.9. Platelet
count was 51. BUN 8, creatinine 0.6. He was continued on
Dilaudid PCA. Atenolol was resumed. Diet was advanced as
tolerated. GI was requested to see patient in regard to his
elevated LFTs. HIT level was sent because of his
thrombocytopenia. Patient's heparin was discontinued with
improvement in his platelet count. Physical therapy began
post BKA exercises.
On postoperative day two the resident was called to see
patient for t-max of 102.5. Lung exam was unremarkable. He
was tachycardiac with a heart rate of 112. The incisions
were clean, dry and intact. Chest x-ray showed atelectasis
with effusions. Urinalysis was 3 to 5 RBC, no WBC. Blood
and urine cultures were obtained which were no growth and
finalized. Patient's HIT was positive. Blood cultures and
urine cultures were negative and finalized. HIT was
positive. Heparin was discontinued. He remained febrile on
postoperative day two. Total white count was 12.7. Total CK
was [**Numeric Identifier 38254**]. This was reflective of his ischemia. Patient
continually remained confused with tachycardia and febrile.
GI felt that his mental status changes were secondary to
hepatic encephalopathy and DTs. Lactulose was begun.
Ultrasound of the liver was obtained.
The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for
respiratory support. Patient was intubated and sedated.
Patient's ammonia level was 67. An Ativan drip was begun.
Lactulose was continued. His antihypertensives were
continued. Total CK was elevated, but this was secondary to
rhabdomyolysis. Diminished urinary output secondary to
myoglobulinuria. He remained NPO with NG in place. They
felt his elevated HIT was secondary to splenic sequestration.
He was continued on IV fluids D5 half normal saline. On
postoperative day three white count was 9.7. Coags were
normal. BUN 15, creatinine 0.6. Liver AST 246, ALT 34,
alkaline phos 74, t-bili 3.3, amylase 54, lipase 55. Patient
remained in the SICU intubated and TPN was begun. Patient
underwent IVC filter placement without complications.
The patient did have an episode of diminished cardiac output,
etiology undetermined. EKG showed no changes. CKMBs were
not elevated. Patient was continued on beta blockade,
remained NPO. He was making adequate urine. A second set of
blood cultures grew one out of four gram positive cocci.
Vancomycin was added to patient's antibiotic regimen. This
was on [**2162-4-10**]. Levofloxacin was started on [**2162-4-8**]. White
count remained stable at 7.6. Patient's central line was
changed on [**2162-4-12**]. Chest x-ray was unremarkable. On
postoperative day six he continued with fever spike to 102.7,
defervesced to 99.1. Total white count remained stable at
7.1. Patient's liver functions ALT and AST showed
improvement. Alkaline phos remained stable. Total bili
continued to rise. Albumin was 2.3, amylase 110. Cultures
on the 14th of the CVL tip, blood and urine on [**4-11**] and blood
on [**4-10**] were no growth. Chest x-ray showed bilateral
effusions.
Ativan wean was begun. TPN was placed on tube feeds which
were advanced. On postoperative day seven antibiotics were
changed to vancomycin and Zosyn. Tube feed was advanced.
TPN rate was decreased. Diuresis was continued. A CPAP
trial was initiated. White count was 9.2, up from 7.1.
Stump cultures grew 4+ gram positive cocci, 1+ gram negative
rods and 1+ gram positive rods. Blood, urine and sputum
cultures were no growth. Chest x-ray continued to show
bibasilar opacifications and effusions. Diuresis was
continued. Patient continued to be followed by the GI
service. His white count stabilized at 9.2. CKs on
postoperative day seven began to show a downward trend along
with ALT and AST. Total bili peaked at 5.4 and began to show
a downward trend.
The patient remained on CPAP with pressure support. On
postoperative day eight patient continued on vanco and Zosyn.
The stump wound was opened by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] to allow for
drainage. Tube feeds were advanced to goal. He continued to
run t-max in the 101 to 100.9 range. White count continued
to remain unremarkable at 7.5. Blood cultures taken on [**4-13**]
showed no growth. Wound cultures grew moderate coag negative
staph on the 14th. CVL tip grew greater than 15 colonies of
staph. Patient underwent bedside excisional debridement of
the stump wound on [**4-14**]. He felt that patient's tissue was
nonviable and would require AKA, but would monitor the wound
and decide the following day whether or not to take him back
to surgery.
The patient returned to the operating room on [**2162-4-15**] and
underwent revision of right AKA that was left open. A VAC
dressing was placed. Patient was transferred to the SICU for
continued monitoring and care. He remained intubated.
Hematocrit remained stable at 28.5 post debridement. KUB
showed the NG in the appropriate place. Antibiotics were
continued. On postoperative days 10 and one patient required
a transfusion of packed red blood cells and FFP for
hematocrit of 26.5 and PTT of 28.6. He remained intubated,
continued on tube feeds. He continued to run low grade temps
of 101. Patient was extubated on postoperative days 11 and
two. Post transfusion hematocrit was 27.4 after one unit of
packed red blood cells.
The patient began to defervesce over the next 48 hours on
postoperative days 10 and two. White count remained stable
at 8.3. Cath cultures were no growth. Blood cultures were
no growth, but not finalized. Sputum cultures were negative.
VAC dressing was changed for the first time on [**2162-4-18**].
Patient was transferred to the VICU on [**2162-4-19**]. Patient
underwent a speech and swallowing evaluation at the bedside
on [**2162-4-20**]. There were no signs or symptoms of aspiration.
There were no signs or symptoms of dysphagia noted. While
they felt silent aspiration could not be ruled out at the
bedside exam, patient had no suspicious neurologic history to
suggest risk for being a silent aspirator. Recommendations
were to advance diet to regular consistency solids and thin
liquids, sit patient upright for meals.
The patient's VAC was changed again with conscious sedation
on [**2162-4-22**]. Patient was evaluated by physical therapy who
felt he would require rehabilitation prior to being
discharged to home. Patient was transferred to the regular
nursing floor on postoperative days 16 and seven. He
continued to progress. Patient continued to remain afebrile.
Antibiotics were discontinued. The VAC was discontinued and
normal saline wet to dry dressings were begun. Case
management was requested to see patient regarding discharge
planning.
The remaining hospital stay was uneventful. The patient was
transferred to [**Location 1268**] VA for continued care. At the
time of transfer patient was tolerating a regular diet with
Boost t.i.d. Recommendations were to continue to have
patient be in an upright position while eating. Dressings
were normal saline wet to dry dressings b.i.d. to open AKA
stump site.

that time.
Imaging:
[**2165-3-20**] AP CXR - IMPRESSION: Increased pulmonary edema, cannot
exclude bibasilar consolidation. Known pulmonary metastases.
[**2165-3-20**] CT HEAD - prelim - no acute bleed or sig change from
prior
[**2165-3-20**] CTA Chest - IMPRESSION:
1. No definite evidence of pulmonary embolism, slightly limited
by
respiratory motion.
2. Interval increase in size of multiple bilateral pulmonary
metastases.
3. Increase in mediastinal adenopathy.
4. Right basilar pleural thickening and nodularity with a new
moderate right pleural effusion, associated with atelectasis and
consolidation of the right lower lobe.
5. Patchy opacities in the right middle and left upper lobes,
may be
infectious or inflammatory.
[**2165-3-21**] Transthoracic ECHO - The left atrium is markedly
dilated. The right atrium is moderately dilated. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size
and regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). There is
considerable beat-to-beat variability of the left ventricular
ejection fraction due to an irregular rhythm/premature beats.
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild to
moderate ([**1-26**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is moderate
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with
normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. Mild
to moderate mitral regurgitation. Moderate pulmonary
hypertension. Substantial biatrial dilatation.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 3501**] is a 72 year old male with SCC metastatic to left
axilla and lung, a fib, HTN, HLD, who presented with shortness
of breath and weakness.
# Hypoxia, shortness of breath - Most likely secondary to
pleural effusion and pneumonia. CTA was negative for PE and
patient is therapeutic on coumadin for afib. He was also
treated for healthcare associated pneumonia with vancomycin,
zosyn, and levofloxacin starting on [**3-23**] for a 10 day course
that was transitioned to augmentin alone after his levofloxacin
dose on [**2165-3-28**]. His shortness of breath improved, however, he
remained hypoxic on room air. A thoracentesis was done and
showed an exudative effusion. Pleural fluid was sent for
cytology and this was pending at the time of discharge, gram
stain had 4+ PMNs, no organisms.
PENDING AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE: PLEURAL FLUID CULTURES AND
CYTOLOGY
.
# Atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter - On admission the patient
was placed on shorter acting forms of metoprolol and diltiazem
due to concern for possible sepsis and hypotension. The patient
intermittantly had heart rates of up to 150 that responded to
his usual medications. Pt was discharged on prior diltiazem SR
dose and metoprolol tartrate 37.5 [**Hospital1 **] was increased to toprol
150 daily. Pt's coumadin was held in preparation for
thoracentesis but restarted without bridge after thoracentesis
was completed.
.
# Mucositis and Thrush: Secondary to chemotherapy and improved
significantly with course of fluconazole. Pt was discharged on
magic mouthwash (Maalox/Diphenhydramine/Lidocaine).
.
# Metastatic SCC: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, with
metastasis to left axilla (s/p left axillary dissection) and
pulmonary nodules. Patient is s/p resection, XRT, and currently
undergoing phase I clinical trial treatment with Torisel and
Neratinib (though this has been held since [**3-9**] given
mucositis). Per his oncologist, pt may resume this regimen on
discharge. THis is to be discussed further c pt's oncologist as
outpt. Pt recieved oxycodone for pain, ativan for anxiety and
magic mouthwash for mucositis.
.
# HTN: well controlled on diltiazem and metoprolol
.
# Hyperlipidemia: Continued home statin
.
# Gout: Continued allopurinol

Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 **] Hospital because of
shortness of breath and low oxygen in your blood. We thought
this was from pneumonia and treated you with antibiotics. You
also had a lot of fluid around your lungs that could be from
pneumonia or from your cancer. We drained the fluid and your
breathing got better. We are still waiting to hear from
pathology about the final results from the fluid. Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] can
tell you more about the fluid next time you see her.
When you get home please continue your regular medicines. The
following changes have been made to your medications:
STOP your metoprolol tartrate (lopressor)
START metoprolol succinate (toprol) 150 mg once a day
START the antibiotic augmentin for 3 more days
.
Please continue to get your coumadin level checked, as you have
been. Since you are on the antibiotics you should get your
coumadin level checked frequently.

History of Present Illness:
This is a 45 yo RH woman with h/o headaches who was
transferred from [**Hospital3 2568**] for abnormal CT.
She was in her usual state of health until Monday (4 days ago)
when she awoke at 4am with terrible headache and vision changes.
Her vision was blurry with red/blue lights, this lasted "all
morning." Head pain is all over, throbbing, constant with
nausea
(no emesis), + photo/phonophobia, worse with leaning forward or
having a BM, not relieved with multiple meds(motrin, darvan,
methadone that she had taken in the past for LBP). The headache
got better yesterday then got much worse in the evening and she
became diaphoretic, thus she presented to [**Hospital3 **].
She denies any weakness, numbness, tingling, vertigo, trouble
swallowing, facial droop, trouble getting around or doing
activities, trouble with language, neck pain/stiffness. +
tinnitus bilaterally since yesterday. No diplopia, voice
changes
or hiccups. No fever, + chills last night, no weight changes,
rash, joint pain.
At [**Hospital3 **], her BP was 220/118, she was given morphine 4mg x
3
doses, labetolol 10mg x 2 doses, reglan and zofran. Head CT was
abnormal, transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for neurosurgical evaluation.
Nsurg saw patient, rec'd MRI, and decided she needed admission
for a metastatic w/u given MRI showed ? mass in left occipital
lobe and maybe elsewhere as well (?), thus neurology was
consulted.
Patient states that she has a h/o headaches that started around
age 16, one sided and throbbing, but UNLIKE headache she
currently has, + photo/phonophobia, + n/v, no aura. These
headaches stopped [**2-11**] yrs ago.
In our ED she was given labetolol 10mg, then started on a
labetolol gtt. dilaudid 1mg, anzemet and decadron 10mg.

MRA/V:
FINDINGS:
The arterial images are somewhat limited by motion artifact. The
right vertebral artery appears to be dominant. The left is small
and less well seen. The basilar artery is widely patent. The
distal internal carotid arteries appear normal. The cerebral
artery show good flow.
The venous study is better in quality. There is good flow in the
superior sagittal sinus. As expected, inferiorly with changing
direction it decreases in signal intensity slightly but there is
good flow throughout it. The deep venous system is normal. There
is normal asymmetry of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses as
well as the jugular veins. Normal cortical veins are seen.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of dural venous sinus thrombosis.
-----
CXR Normal
-----
MRI head [**4-27**]:
IMPRESSION: Focal area of signal abnormality within the
occipital lobes, with gadolinium enhancement and restricted
diffusion seen in the left occipital lobe. The primary
diagnostic consideration, given the history of hypertension is
posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy (PRES). Other
considerations include demyelinating or metastatic disease. A
followup MRI is recommended in three to four days to assess for
reversibility, which if present would obviously favor PRES.
-----
CSF cytology negative
-----
MRA kidneys:
IMPRESSION:
1. No renal artery stenosis. Normal appearance of the kidneys.
2. Fatty infiltration of the liver.
-----
MRI repeat [**5-2**]:
1. Interval decrease in size of T2 and FLAIR hyperintensities
with residual signal on the left greater than right. No definite
signal abnormalities seen within the vermis.
2. Persistent focus of restricted diffusion, corresponding with
enhancement at site of T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity within the
left occipital lobe, raising the question of possible infarct
which could be sequelae of posterior reversible
leukoencephalopathy (PRES).
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient is a 45 year old woman with a week of a throbbing
bilateral headache associated with photophobia/phonophobia that
is atypical from her usual migraine. This is in the setting of
exacerbated hypertension of unknown cause. No other medications
started recently per patient. Her exam showed a woman who is
diaphoretic and tremulous. Otherwise she is neurologically
intact, with no
evidence of increased ICP. She was initially extremely
hypertensive on admission and placed on a labetalol drip. This
was quickly weaned off and she was well controlled on oral BP
meds. We started metoprolol and verapamil, both of which
control blood pressure and can be used for migraine prophylaxis.
Her MRI was consistent with a reversible posterior
leukoencephalopathy, likely caused by her elevated BP. We could
not entirely exclude the possibility of tumor, although we felt
it was less likely. She had no venous sinus occlusion on MRV.
The MRA was poor quality. A repeat MRI 5 days later showed
interval improvement, making posterior leukoencephalopathy more
likely. She also had an LP which was very normal, with no
cells, normal protein/glucose, and no OCBs. This made
infectious/inflammatory/demyelinating causes very unlikely.
After this diagnosis was made and her BP was very well
controlled on oral medications, her headache became the [**Last Name **]
problem. [**Name (NI) **] headaches sounded like status migrainosus or a
mixed headache type that was exacerbated by a
hypertensive crisis. She was on a Dilaudid PCA initially. A
solumedrol 1 gram IV dose was given which helped somewhat but
didn't relieve the pain. The pain service was consulted and she
was started on ibuprofen, neurontin, topamax, and PO dilaudid
with variable results. She was also started on Klonopin for
muscle relaxation. At this point, it was felt that her
headaches were multifactorial. She was having migraine
headaches which caused tension headaches, which caused
reappearance of her migraine headaches. The above medications
were meant to attempt to break that cycle. She was stable
otherwise and felt she would better be able to break her
headache cycle at home, so she was discharged with the above
medications, with Percocet instead of dilaudid. She will
follow-up in stroke clinic, and due to the enhancing lesion, in
neurosurgery clinic with a follow-up MRI scan in [**3-16**] weeks to
exclude the possibility of tumor. She can also follow-up in the
pain clinic if needed depending on how her headache resolves.
2.Endocrine: The endocrine service was consulted due to concern
for an endocrine source for her HTN. She had a high TSH
initially, that quickly corrected. Her other thyroid studies
were normal. We then considered pheochromocytoma and RAS. She
had a renal artery MRA which was normal. Studies for pheo are
pending. She also had PTH sent which returned elevated. Vitamin
D, renin, aldosterone are currently pending, as are urine and
plasma studies to rule out pheo. She will follow-up in
endocrine clinic to address these test results and continue her
work-up.
3.CV:She was sent home on metoprolol and verapamil for Bp
control. These can be titrated as needed by her PCP.
4.Pain:As above, she was sent out with 1 week or pain medication
to allow her to resolve her headache. She was also sent on a
klonopin taper in order to avoid benzo withdrawl.
She will follow-up as above.

Attending:[**First Name3 (LF) 2704**]
Chief Complaint:
Chest Pain
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a 86 year old female with a history of
hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and dementia who presents
from [**Hospital3 **] with complaints of chest pain. The patient
is a poor historian, providing varied details since
presentation. [**Name (NI) **] unclear why she had come to the hospital.
Endoreses having experineced chest pain, which she describes as
daily, occuring with exercise. Says she infrequently gets with
rest. Denies any SOB, DOE, or palpitations. She has no history
of prior heart attack or being told she has a bad heart. No
headaches, blurred vision, or focal motor,sensory abnormalities.
In the ED, initial plan was to observe patient overnight with a
ROMI, and a ETT in the morning. During her ED stay, patinet had
an 16 beat run of NSVT, during which she was asymptomatic. Over
the course of the day, patient's BP had been drifing upward,
with systolic blood pressure rising from 155 to 264, and
developed respiratory distress. Her O2 sats dropped to low 90s.
She was initially given 5 mg of metoprolol x 2 without
significant effect. She was begun on a nitro gtt, with reduction
to SBP to 165. Additonally, she was begun on CPAP 10/5 and given
20mg IV lasix, to which she put out 500cc. She was successfully
ween to 5L O2 NC and sent to the CCU for further care. The
patient remained chest pain free throughout.
On review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke,
TIA, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the
time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black
stools or red stools. She denies recent fevers, chills or
rigors. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the
other review of systems were negative.
Cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of dyspnea on
exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, palpitations,
syncope or presyncope. Has markedly swollon legs with venous
stasis changes, which the patinet reports to be chronic for
months to years.
Per contact with pt's Alzheimer's facility, pt does not usually
complain of chest pain. They report that prior to presenting to
the [**Name (NI) **], pt had had a visitor after which she developed some
agitation. There is no record of chest pain, rather emotional
distress.

atypical chest pain, admitted with hypertensive emergency with
flash pulmonary edema.
# CORONARIES: The patient has no known history of significant
coronary disease. EKG only with mild ST changes in setting of
marked hypertension, and symptoms of pain atypcial for ACS
event. Had mild troponin elevation on second set of cardiac
markers, and flat CKs, thought to be most likely demand ischemia
in setting of marked systolic hypertension. No mediastinal
enlargement to suggest aortic dissection. Patient is a poor
historian, describing daily exertional chest pain with exercise,
but has varied answering to questions. On confirmation with pt's
[**Hospital3 **] facility, she had not previously ever complained
of chest pain. Pt was medically managed with aspirin, statin.
Prior to discharge she was restarted on her outpt atenolol and
added lisinopril 5mg for additional BP control.
# PUMP: The patient has no known history of heart dysfunction,
but did develop flash pulmonary edema in the setting of
hypertensive emergency. Pt responded very well to lasix both
symptomatically and on oxygen requirement. Pt did not require
any additonal doses of lasix since arriving to the CCU.
Echocardiogram showed moderate LVH, EF 75%, [**11-25**] TR, no wall
motion abnormalities and increased PCW.
# RHYTHM: No current or history of arrythmias
# HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY: Pt with no history of significant
systolic blood pressure elevation and only on atenolol 25mg
daily preivously. In the emergency room, pt's SBP rose to 260
complicated by flash pulmonary edema. Pt received IV beta
blockade and a nitroglycerin drip, which was able to be weaned
off within several hours. Etiology of hypertension was thought
to be mostly agitation and pt's BPs were well controlled with
home dose of atenolol and the addition of lisinopril 5mg daily.
Pt will need monitoring of electrolytes several days post
discharge to evaluate effects of new medicaiton.
# ACUTE PULMONARY EDEMA: Pt developed acute pulmonary edema in
the setting of hypertensive emergency. Improvement with blood
pressure control, diuresis, and CPAP, with thereafter good
saturations and comfort on minimal O2. Pt did not require any
additonal diuresis after arriving to the CCu.
# DEMENTIA: Pt was continued on Zyprexa.
Pt's code status was DNR/DNI throughout the hospitalization.

Brief Hospital Course:
A/P: 86yo man with h/o CAD, DM2, HTN, CRI, pancytopenia, a/w
hypothermia, bradycardia, profound pancytopenia, found to be
hypothyroid.
.
1. Hypothyroidism, Primary: patient was found to have TSH on
admit of 9.0, repeat was still elevated at 7.3; T4 was low at
3.9, c/w primary hypothyroidism; pt was started on Synthroid
112mcg/day. [**Last Name (un) **] stim test was negative. Endocrine was consulted
and did not feel many of his symptoms were secondary to
hypothyroidism. They wanted to decrease his synthroid to 50 mcg,
recheck his TSH in 1 week and then decrease again to 25 mcg.
This should be done at rehab.
2. Bradycardia: thought likely [**2-19**] hypothyroidism, maintained on
on tele, had episodes of brady down to 35s occassionally with
longest pause 2.2 seconds. Cardiology evaluated while the
patient was in the MICU, said that the patient did not require
pacer but to continue to monitor for drops in pressure or
symptoms, which patient did not have during his hospital stay;
thought likely to resolve as Synthroid takes effect. Will need
outpatient follow up.
.
3. Hypotherm: also likely [**2-19**] hypothyroidism, will warm as
needed for now. Did not improve with synthroid. On discharge has
temp of 92.7, so there is likely a central cause for this of
unknown etiology. The patient should be followed closely, if his
temp drops farther, he should be rewarmed.
4. Pancytopenia: patient was noted on admission to have WBC 1.9
down from baseline 6.0, Hct 26.2 down from baseline 30, plts 21
down from baseline 90-100. Patient currently receiving Epogen
?5000 or 20,000 units/week, received at the VA, but not followed
by a Hematologist. Has had fairly stable counts until [**2174**]. In
[**11-19**] anemia began, and was thought to be [**2-19**] kidney disease.
EGD and cspy in [**5-21**] were negative for bleed, iron studies were
c/w anemia of chronic disease with low retic count 1.7%. Heme
recommended increasing his Epo to 40,000 units per week, which
was initiated while he was in house on the night prior to his
discharge. Heme also noted that his peripheral smear contained
strange-looking cells suspicious for myelodysplastic process.
They do not feel that a BM biopsy would change his management,
but plan to follow him in clinic. Of note, the patient's WBC
count returned to the patient's normal range, his hct remained
stable after receiving 2 units PRBCs. His plt count remains low
but is slowly trending upwards. He has had no evid of bleeding
but we are holding ASA given this significant risk (he has a h/o
falls)
.
5. Blood sugars: pt has h/o DM2, was started on RISS as
glyburide was held, then patient became hyponatremic, possibly
because of hypothyroidism; was on a D5W drip briefly, RISS
adjusted to keep sugars in check; pt seems very sensative to
insulin at bedtime when he is not eating, so this scale was
decreased compared to his daytime dosing. If patient needs to be
started on a oral hypoglycemic, he should not be restarted on
his glyburide as it is renally cleared. Glipizide can be
considered.
.
6. ARF: pt's creatinine bumped to 4.1 from 3.5 on day prior to
discharge; likely prerenal in setting of overdiuresis, net
negative 1700 day prior. Rehydrated gently with 500cc, rechecked
BUN and Cr afterwards with resolution. Baseline Cr 3.5.
.
7. Constipation: possibly [**2-19**] hypothyroid, increased bowel
regimen
.
8. CAD: CEs flat, ASA held [**2-19**] low platelets; cont statin;
holding BB [**2-19**] AVB, bradycardia. He should not be restarted on a
beta blocker.
.
9. CHF: patient was initially felt to be a bit overloaded [**2-19**]
his CXR and his clinical presentation; this was thought to be
due to a combination of bradycardia, anemia and possible
infection; TTE showed LVH but no evid of worsening heart
function with LVEF>55%. Pt was initially diuresed with Lasix
40mg IV as needed, then became overdry with bump in creatinine,
was given some fluid back via NS boluses, and is being
discharged euvolemic.
.
10. ?LLL pna: thought to have evid of pna (?aspiration) on
initial CXR, started Levaquin x 7days ( started on [**1-6**] to stop
[**1-12**]). Needs 1 more day.
.
11. HTN: continued prazosin, increased to 2 mg prasozin at
night, also increased Hydralazine. We avoided ACEI given
ARF/CRI, and avoided BB given profound bradycardia.

HOSPITAL COURSE: This gentleman was admitted to the Coronary
Care Unit directly after presenting at [**Hospital **] Hospital with
severe chest pain. He had ultimately ruled in for a
myocardial infarction and was transferred to [**Hospital1 346**] for management. He was followed
closely by the Cardiology Service in preparation for cardiac
catheterization.
On [**2-27**], his laboratories were as follows: White blood
cell count of 9.7, hematocrit of 30.2, platelet count of
257,000. Sodium of 145, potassium of 3.3, chloride of 102,
bicarbonate of 29, blood urea nitrogen of 39, creatinine
of 2.8 (which was near his baseline of middle 2s), and a
blood sugar of 93. His PT was 13.4, with an INR of 1.3, and
a PTT of 56.8. He had an abnormal electrocardiogram on
admission with ST depressions throughout multiple leads.
He was maintained in the Coronary Care Unit on a heparin drip
and on a nitroglycerin drip; and Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] (his cardiologist)
referred the patient to Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. The patient was
ultimately seen by Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1537**].
His cardiac catheterization showed an output of 4.3, with an
index of 2.5, a 90% left anterior descending artery lesion at
the diagonal, a 95% circumflex lesion that was distally
occluded 100%, and a 60% distal right coronary artery lesion.
It also demonstrated severe iliac disease. The patient was
also maintained on his beta blocker and remained in the
Coronary Care Unit. The patient was transfused one unit of
packed red blood cells for a hematocrit of 27, status post
catheterization. He had some slight episodes of chest
pressure that resolved spontaneously with no
electrocardiogram changes. One day preoperatively, his
creatinine dropped from 2.8 to 2.4. His white blood cell
count remained stable at 8.8, and his enzymes continued to be
cycled. His Plavix was discontinued in preparation for his
bypass surgery.
On [**3-1**], he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting
by Dr. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1537**], off pump, with a left internal mammary
artery to the left anterior descending artery, a vein graft
to the posterior descending artery, and a vein graft to the
obtuse marginal. He was transferred to the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit in stable condition.
Of note, also, vascular report for noninvasive carotid
studies showed no significant studies on either right or left
carotid arteries preoperatively.
On postoperative day one, he was transfused 3 units of packed
red blood cells. He was on an insulin drop at 2.5, and his
Neo-Synephrine was slowly weaned off. He was hemodynamically
stable with a blood pressure of 118/49 and in normal sinus
rhythm at 79. His lungs were clear bilaterally. His sternum
was stable. His incisions were clean, dry, and intact. His
white blood cell count rose to 23.3. Sodium of 140,
potassium of 4.8, chloride of 111, bicarbonate of 20, blood
urea nitrogen 27, creatinine of 2. Neurologically, he was
intact. He was followed by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of Cardiology. His ACE
inhibitor was held for the time being while his creatinine
was elevated.
On postoperative day one, in the evening, he had a CT-guided
left pleural space hematoma drained with a pigtail catheter
with no residual pneumothorax. A portable transthoracic
echocardiogram study was done that evening which showed that
the ejection fraction was mildly depressed at 30% to 40%, but
no significant pericardial effusion was seen. Please refer
to the final report.
On postoperative day two, the patient was confused overnight.
He was on a dobutamine drip at 2.5 and an insulin drip at 2.
He was in the 80s, in sinus rhythm with a good blood pressure
with mixed venous of 63%. His index was 2.39 on dobutamine.
His white blood cell count remained elevated at 20.2. His
creatinine rose again to 2.5, with bicarbonate also depressed
at 17. His sternum was stable. His incisions were clean,
dry, and intact. His abdomen was mildly distended. The
patient continued to be confused. He was started back on his
amiodarone, Plavix, and aspirin as his dobutamine was weaned.
He was seen by Case Management. He had some postoperative
atrial fibrillation with some broad complex tachycardia that
paroxysmal and then converted back to a narrow complex in
atrial fibrillation, with a ventricular rate of about 90 to
100. He was already on intravenous amiodarone.
On postoperative day three, he had a decreased cardiac index,
so his dobutamine was increased. He also started Levaquin
for his pulmonary status. He was awake. His lungs had
coarse breath sounds. His incisions were otherwise clean,
dry, and intact. He remained n.p.o. His dobutamine was
dropped back down to 2.5. He was in atrial fibrillation in
the 90s, with a blood pressure of 126/57, a temperature
maximum of 100.6. In the morning, he was on amiodarone
at 0.5, dobutamine at 5 (which was later weaned down),
nitroglycerin at 1.5, and insulin at 3. His lactate was 2.
His white blood cell count dropped to 14.6, and his
creatinine rose from 2.5 to 2.7. He remained in the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit.
A Pulmonary consultation was obtained given his asthma, and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, and
his somewhat declining respiratory status. His chest CT
showed an interstitial pattern consistent with pulmonary
edema and a patchy right upper lobe infiltrate. A small
right pleural effusion, a small medial left pleural effusion,
with two loculated anterior superior effusions, and a
question of tracheomalacia. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] of Pulmonary saw the
patient and recommended continuing his nebulizers and given
him some Solu-Medrol, as well as continuing his antibiotics
of Levaquin, and pulmonary toilet. He recommended diuresing
him as he was hemodynamically able to tolerate.
He was seen daily by Cardiology and Pulmonary who continued
to follow his respiratory status.
On postoperative day four, he was in atrial fibrillation in
the 90s, remained on dobutamine at 5, nitroglycerin at 5,
insulin at 3, as well as his anticoagulation, antibiotics,
and steroids. His white blood cell count rose slightly
to 15.3. His hematocrit dropped to 25.7. His lactate
leveled out at 1.7, and his creatinine rose slightly to 2.8.
His mixed venous was 47%. Sputum which had been sent off
showed some gram-negative rods in the stain. He continued
with pulmonary toilet. His pulmonary artery catheter
remained in place, and he continued on his antibiotics and
steroids. A digoxin level was also checked. He was seen by
the Otorhinolaryngology Service for dysphasia. He continued
to have complaints of some shortness of breath. He continued
with diuresis.
On postoperative day five, he remained in atrial fibrillation
in the 50s, with a good blood pressure. His Swan-Ganz
catheter was changed over to central venous pressure. He was
continued on his digoxin. He was also continued on
antibiotics, remained in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care
Unit.
He was seen by the Renal Service in consultation for his rise
in creatinine of 3.1, and a white blood cell count of 17 with
no plans for further diuresis at the moment. [**Name2 (NI) **] was
continued with his anticoagulation. The Renal consultation
suggested some tubular injury and suggested putting him on
hydralazine and not continuing with diuresis at this time.
On postoperative day six, his hydralazine was increased. He
remained on Levaquin, heparin, amiodarone, digoxin,
hydralazine, Imdur, albumin nebulizers, Atrovent, as well as
his oral medications. Chest x-ray showed a question of a
left lower lobe pneumonia which was unclear given the
patient's history, and the patient was started on Coumadin
for his atrial fibrillation. His white blood cell count rose
to 19.5. He was followed daily by Renal and
Otorhinolaryngology Services. He passed his swallowing test.
He remained in atrial fibrillation on postoperative day
seven. Additional laboratories that day showed a rise in
white blood cell count to 22.4, ALT of 195, AST of 98,
alkaline phosphatase of 50, and total bilirubin of 0.6.
Heparin was discontinued, and the INR started to rise. He
was also seen by Physical Therapy and transferred out to the
floor on postoperative day eight.
On postoperative day six, his Swan-Ganz catheter had been
discontinued to a CVP. The patient was also put on air bed
for a small area of a scrotal breakdown. He was screened by
the Nutritional Team. His digoxin level was 4.5. His
digoxin was held. His sternum looked dark and dusky with his
stitches looking slightly dusky. His right leg was dry and
clean, no erythema. Please refer to the Operative Note for
the discussion of this gentleman's small area of herniation
under his sternum.
On postoperative day eight, his INR came back at 6.5. His
Coumadin was held, and he was given 1 mg of vitamin K. He
was seen daily by Renal. He continued with disorientation.
He was followed by Otorhinolaryngology Service for more
dysphasia. The patient had increased difficulty with
swallowing, and it appeared that he aspirated slightly. He
had some respiratory distress on the afternoon of [**3-9**].
He was transferred back to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care
Unit as his oxygen saturations dropped below 90%, while he
was having respiratory distress.
On postoperative day nine, he had an episode of ventricular
tachycardia that lasted 20 seconds and continued in some
respiratory distress. He was monitored for his digoxin level
and his INR with daily dosing of Coumadin as we waited for
his INR to drop. He was reintubated by Anesthesia for
respiratory insufficiency and his inability to clear
secretions on [**3-10**]. His creatinine rose to 2.9. His
INR dropped back down to 2.1, and his white blood cell count
rose to 20.7. He continued to be monitored for his acute
renal failure and his respiratory status after reintubation.
His afterload reduction continued with hydralazine. He was
started on ceftazidime. He was alert and moving all
extremities and following commands. He had a bronchoscopy
done by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 39080**] which showed some minimal blood-tinged
secretions bilaterally. He was seen again by the Clinical
Nutrition Team.
On postoperative day 10, again, he had a run of
supraventricular tachycardia. He had a repeat echocardiogram
which showed an ejection fraction of 30% to 40%, which was
unchanged. He was transfuses 2 units of packed red blood
cells, a Swan-Ganz catheter was re-placed. He was on an
amiodarone drip at 0.5, a dopamine at 2.5, and a propofol
drip at 40. He had a temperature maximum of 100. He
remained ventricularly paced at 80 with an index of 2.7. His
creatinine rose as did his white blood cell count to the 23
range. His lactate was 1.9. Blood cultures were sent off
and were pending. Sputum was sent off and was pending. His
respiratory status was adjusted on the ventilator. He was
seen by Infectious Disease for his rise in white blood cell
count. Blood cultures were sent off. Fungal cultures were
sent off. His sputum came back with gram-negative rods. His
antibiotics were changed. His creatinine stayed level in the
3 range. His lactate, which had risen to 4.5, came back down
to 1.9. Additional blood cultures were drawn. His renal
status was followed by the Renal attending. Multiple
adjustments were made for his respiratory status, and his
antibiotics and his renal function. He remained on
ceftazidime, Diflucan, amiodarone, dopamine, propofol, and
Epogen, as well as his oral anticoagulation therapy, and
hydralazine for afterload reduction.
He remained intubated on postoperative day 11 with coarse
breath sounds. He continued to be followed by the Infectious
Disease Service and Nutrition. He required A pacing with an
underlying sinus bradycardia. He was continued on his
amiodarone. His digoxin level remained elevated at 2.8 with
accompanying bradycardia.
He remained ventricularly paced on postoperative day 12. His
creatinine started to come down to 2.5. His white blood cell
count remained in the 20 range. Diuresis was stopped. Free
water was given for management of his fluids and
electrolytes. He was seen by Plastic Surgery given the
increased drainage from his sternum and a question of
infection in that area. They noted his mummified necrotic
inferior aspect of his sternotomy incision, and they
recommended eventual debridement and a chest CT to evaluate
for substernal fluid collection. His metabolic support was
done by the Nutrition Team.
On postoperative day 13, he remained paced, intubated, and
sedated. He also continued on his insulin and amiodarone
drips, with a dopamine drip at 4, and a morphine drip at 4.
He was seen by the Electrophysiology fellow given his atrial
fibrillation, and slow ventricular response, and his
increased digoxin level. The patient was paced with his
pacing Swan during periods of bradycardia and recommended
that since his blood pressure was stable, that Digibind was
not indicated.
The Renal Service continued to follow his electrolyte status
in anticipation of his sternal debridement. He was also seen
by the Infectious Disease team again. The CT of his chest
showed large pleural effusions. He had some emesis, and
there was a question of aspiration. There was bloody fluid
suctioned. He remained ventricularly paced. His creatinine
rose to 3.5. His white blood cell count rose to 18, with his
blood urea nitrogen climbing now into the 90s. His
electrocardiogram just showed the effect of digoxin and his
old inferior myocardial infarction, and he remained in atrial
fibrillation. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 13797**] of Plastic Surgery recommended
surgical debridement by the Cardiothoracic team and a vac
drain to be placed. Cultures of his sternum showed yeast.
His sputum showed yeast. He continued on his antimicrobials
and remained on the dopamine drip at 2. His creatinine rose
to 3.6 with a blood urea nitrogen of 101. The patient had
normal sinus rhythm at 55 and a stable blood pressure, but an
increased P-R interval. His pacing Swan was still being
used. He was seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], and Infectious Disease, as
well as the Renal Service. He had some blood via his G-tube
and in his stool.
On postoperative day 16, he received 2 units of fresh frozen
plasma and he was transfused 2 units of packed red blood
cells for a hematocrit of 21.9. His Plavix was held. He
remained on double antibiotic therapy.
On postoperative day 17, he had an episode of pulmonary
edema. He was given 80 mg of intravenous Lasix. He remained
on a nitroglycerin drip at 1, a dopamine drip at 2. He had
first-degree atrioventricular heart block on his
electrocardiogram in the 60s, with a blood pressure
of 128/46. As of [**3-13**], his blood cultures were
negative. His catheter tip from his central line was
negative. His Plavix continued to be held. His total
parenteral nutrition was held. Plastic Surgery suggested
that there was an impaired vascular supply to the base of the
sternum and recommended operative treatment, as soon as the
patient could tolerate it. He continued to be maintained in
the Intensive Care Unit. His creatinine rose to 4, with a
blood urea nitrogen of 113. His white blood cell count came
down to 8.6, with a hematocrit of 29.6, and an INR of 1.3.
Infectious Disease team requested tissue be sent when the
patient was debrided. The patient remained in sinus
bradycardia with a blood pressure of 150 to 160/40 to 50, and
remained stable, and did not require any pacing over the
prior 48 hours. He was seen by Cardiothoracic Surgery,
Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 39081**] for evaluation for tracheostomy. He was
continued on antibiotic therapy, and hydralazine for
afterload reduction, on the ventilator, sedated.
Neurologically, he was stable.
His creatinine rose to 4.5, with a blood urea nitrogen of 120
on postoperative day 19. His chest tube remained in place.
On postoperative day 19, he had a right subclavian triple
lumen line placed for total parenteral nutrition and
intravenous access. Suggestions were followed by Renal and
Cardiology. He had some liquefaction of his necrotic skin
around the area of his sternum.
On postoperative day 21, he remained on pressure support, and
CPAP, on Diflucan, and ceftazidime, with a blood urea
nitrogen of 141, and a creatinine of 4.9 (that continued to
rise). He was in sinus rhythm with first-degree
atrioventricular heart block, at a rate of 63, with a blood
pressure of 153/37. He was seen by the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit resident and received hemodialysis as
well as a tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic
gastrostomy tube placement. He was being treated for his
pneumonia. His sternal wound and his acute renal failure
issues were being managed by Renal. He continued to have
somewhat deteriorating renal function. He received a
transfusion for a hematocrit of 27.5. He had a Quinton
femoral catheter placed for hemodialysis by the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit team. He continued to be
monitored by the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit staff.
He had some tachypnea and some brief atrial fibrillation on
postoperative day 22. He was awake and responsive. He had
coarse breath sounds at his right base, but his abdomen was
distended with decreased breath sounds. He had some trace
peripheral edema. He remained a little bit more agitated and
started a Dilaudid infusion. He was transfused 2 more units
of packed red blood cells. He had increased abdominal
distention that was tenderness to palpation. There was a
question of ischemia, and it was recommended that there be a
surgical evaluation. He was seen by Surgery, that went
through the differential diagnoses. He blood urea nitrogen
rose to 156, with a creatinine of 5.2. His amylase was 241.
His upright chest x-ray showed no free air. His abdominal CT
from [**3-14**] showed mild diffuse thickening of the
sigmoid colon. He continued with hemodialysis.
On [**3-24**], the patient was being turned and had an
episode of pulseless ventricular tachycardia. He was
defibrillated times one and given 1 mg of epinephrine
intravenous push, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and
then defibrillated at 300, and a 300-mg bolus of amiodarone.
He was shocked times two at 350 joules and returned into
supraventricular tachycardia with a heart rate of greater
than 100 with a blood pressure of 200/90. The patient
responded appropriately to a single question and then was
sedated again. A chest and abdominal CT showed no
collections or sources for infection. He was sedated but
seemed to be responding appropriately. His abdomen was
distended; it was soft and was tender in the left lower
quadrant. Blood on stool on rectal examination. There was a
high suspicion for ischemic bowel in spite of a negative
finding on abdominal CT from the prior day. The patient was
making about 1 liter of urine per day. The patient did not
receive timely dialysis that day, on [**3-24**]. He
respiratory status started to deteriorate. He had coarse
breath sounds bilaterally. His left upper extremity became
swollen and erythematous. His abdomen was softly distended.
He had increased tachypnea. His FIO2 was increased to 100%,
and he was requiring full respiratory support. His abdomen
remained tender.
On postoperative day 23, he had ventricular tachycardia, was
paced. He received bicarbonate and epinephrine and had went
back to spontaneous rhythm with blood pressure. He was
moving all four extremities. He remained on his amiodarone
drip. His creatinine remained elevated at 4.6 with a white
blood cell count of 8.6, and he continued to deteriorate. He
was seen by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 39081**] again on postoperative day 23. There
appeared to be no sternal breakdown at the time of his
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and compression, and his
sternal debridement which had been planned was cancelled in
lieu of his cardiac arrest (in lieu of his ventricular
tachycardia arrest). The patient was reloaded with
amiodarone and seen again by the Infectious Disease who noted
his pulmonary interstitial edema, and his decreased bilateral
effusions. He also noted a low attenuated lesion in the
right lobe of the liver and extensive vascular
calcifications. The patient was seen again by the Surgical
Intensive Care Unit attending. The patient remained afebrile
with a distended abdomen. He appeared to be rigorous with a
normal temperature maximum. He had another episode of
ventricular tachycardia. His amiodarone was increased.
Surgery team was considering exploratory laparotomy for the
question ischemic bowel despite the CT scan the day prior.
He had another episode of ventricular tachycardia overnight.
He was restarted on a dopamine drip as well as intravenous
amiodarone. His dopamine was at 3, amiodarone was at 0.5.
He remained triple antibiotic therapy as well as his Plavix.
He remained sedated and ventricularly paced on dopamine
support. His sternum was draining seropurulent drainage.
Electrophysiology placed a pacing wire on postoperative
day 24. The patient went back to the catheterization
laboratory. Electrophysiology placed a pacing wire on
postoperative day 24. His grafts were intact, and his native
circumflex had a stent placed. He remained intubated and
sedated. His abdomen remained soft, but somewhat distended.
His blood urea nitrogen and creatinine remained elevated in
the 140s and at 4.9.
Renal saw him again to evaluate hemodialysis. His
respiratory status continued to worsen with increasing
acidosis. He remained on pressure support. His temperature
was 94 (clearly hypothermic) with a blood pressure in the
80s/40s to 50s. He remained paced at a rate of 80. He was
started on vancomycin and remained on a dopamine drip at 3.
He remained sedated on propofol. The patient started
continuous venovenous hemofiltration with systemic heparin.
Again, on postoperative day 25, the patient tested positive
for heparin-dependent antibodies. His continuous venovenous
hemofiltration with heparin was discontinued, and it was
reset using citrate. He was seen again by Infectious Disease
for a change in antibiotic coverage. The left eye began to
be asymmetric when compared with the right with a question of
proptosis. His ceftazidime was changed to q.24h. His
vancomycin was changed to q.24h., and he restarted his
continuous venovenous hemofiltration. He remained intubated
with a question of his neurologic stability, on triple
antibiotic therapy. His dopamine was increased to 6, and he
was on a morphine drip at 2.
On postoperative day 25, he had two episodes of ventricular
tachycardia. His creatinine dropped slightly to 3.8. His
abdomen remained softly distended. His was grimacing to
pain. His abdomen was tender. He continued with treatment
for his acute renal failure. The patient continued to
deteriorate requiring maximal respiratory support, grimacing
only to pain.
His family wanted to speak regarding his prognosis and a
plan. He was seen by General Surgery on postoperative day 25
who noted his abdomen and said it was unlikely that it was
ischemic bowel. A family meeting was scheduled for that day.
The patient remained critically ill and was seen again by the
Electrophysiology Service. He continued on amiodarone, and
they recommended his temporary pacing wire could be
discontinued. He had continuous venovenous hemofiltration
again. His blood pressure was stable on dopamine at 6 and
remained pressor dependent for his blood pressure in the 98
range to 100 range over 40 go 60, with a heart rate of 60 to
82, and a temperature maximum of 94 to 97.5. His potassium
was 3.4 and was repleted slowly given his hemodialysis
status. He had greenish purulent drainage continuing at the
base of his sternal incision. The patient continued to
deteriorate. Debridement was recommended as soon as the
patient was stable enough to tolerate it.
The patient was seen by the Ethics Support Service along with
the family. The patient was made do not resuscitate on
postoperative day 26. He continued on antibiotic therapy,
and dopamine drip at 6.5, and a morphine drip at 3, as well
as amiodarone. He continued to be stable on maximal support,
and he had Renal managing his dialysis. He was also seen by
the Metabolic Support Service. The patient appeared to be
unresponsive except to deep pain. He was transfused. He was
bradycardic. He was continued on a morphine drip and
continuous venovenous hemofiltration. His creatinine dropped
to 2.2. His sternal wound was necrotic, and he remained a do
not resuscitate status in the Intensive Care Unit. His
pupils became slightly unequal. He continued on support in
the Intensive Care Unit with pressors. He had no response to
pain on Ativan and morphine. He remained with his
tracheostomy, and he was seen again by Infectious Disease as
well as Cardiology Services, who recommended that his
management (given his do not resuscitate status) be discussed
with Cardiothoracic Surgery.
On postoperative day 27, the patient had no change in his
hemodynamics, but he was still requiring dopamine at 6.5 for
pressor support, with a heart rate in the 50s. He remained
on morphine. On postoperative day 27, he remained in atrial
fibrillation and was continued on his dopamine, and morphine
support, and full ventilatory support.
On postoperative day 28, the patient remained stable and
sedated, with atrial fibrillation in the 60s, with a blood
pressure of 121/43, on a dopamine drip at 6.5, and a morphine
drip of 3. He had no acute events overnight. His sternal
wound was unchanged and remained necrotic. He continued on
his support in the Intensive Care Unit.
A family meeting was held again in the morning of
[**3-29**]. The family continued to articulate an
understanding of the patient's wishes, and the decision was
made for withdrawal of care. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1537**] was not in favor of
this, but stated he found it reasonable and was amenable to
do as the family wished. The family and pastor visited with
the patient prior to withdrawal. The patient expired in the
Cardiothoracic Surgical Intensive Care Unit at approximately
11:52 a.m. on [**2159-3-29**].

History of Present Illness:
69 year-old female with history of AAA, HTN, HLD, ESRD on
dialysis, SLE, questionable dx Multiple Sclerosis 40 years ago
at [**Hospital1 112**] dx Dr [**First Name (STitle) 2617**], neuropathy, Neurogenic Bladder, chronic
fecal incontinence, ESRD on HD presented initially with left
chest pain and later was noted to have dense paraparesis in the
legs. Per further discussion with the patient, she had been
hypotensive on HD on [**10-10**] to 70s (her baseline hypitension) and
had problems moving her legs initially and then at 3pm on [**10-10**]
had not been able to move her legs. She has been bedbound
following a leg fracture and had been on warfarin DVT
prophylaxis stopped [**10-8**] due to problems with bruising and
epistaxis. On examination at [**Hospital1 18**] patent had a flaccid
paraparesis and only be able to just wiggle her toes
bilaterally, sensory level to T8 anteriorly to pain/temp and
T12/L1 posteriorly. Reflexes were absent in the legs and
proprioception was decreased to the ankle on left and the knee
on right. Patient had a SBP 70s in the ED but was mentating well
A+Ox3. Transferred to the neuro ICU for pressors. CTA abdomen
[**10-11**] revealed a stable large infrarenal AAA measuring 7.2 x 7.7
x 9.3 cm of which a large portion was thrombosed with no rupture
or signs of impending rupture. Vascular Surgery had consulted
regarding possible vascular cause for her weakness. Vascular
Surgery did not find evidence of aortic dissection or impending
aortic rupture. CTA legs showed extensive atherosclerotic plaque
throughout the LE vasculature and bilateral popliteal aneurysms
R>L. There was occlusion of the anterior tibial arteries at the
origin on the right and at the mid calf on the left. Patient
refused any surgical or endovascular intervention on her
infrarenal AAA.
MRI whole spine [**10-11**] revealed a completed anterior spinal
artery infarct extending from T9 to conus. Patient was started
on aspirin and was treated conservatively.

Brief Hospital Course:
69 year-old female with history of AAA, HTN, HLD, ESRD on
dialysis, SLE, questionable dx Multiple Sclerosis 40 years ago
at [**Hospital1 112**] dx by Dr [**First Name (STitle) 2617**], neuropathy, Neurogenic Bladder, chrnic
fecal incontinence, ESRD on HD presented initially with left
chest pain and later was noted to have dense paraparesis in teh
legs. Per further discussion with the patient, she had been
hypotensive on HD on [**10-10**] to 70s (has baseline hypotension) and
had problems moving her legs initially and then at 3pm on [**10-10**]
had not been able to move her legs. She has been bedbound
following a leg fracture. She had been on warfarin DVT
prophylaxis that was stopped [**10-8**] due to problems with bruising
and epistaxis. On examination at [**Hospital1 18**] patent had a flaccid
paraparesis and only able to just wiggle her toes bilaterally,
sensory level to T8 anteriorly to pain/temp and T12/L1
posteriorly. Reflexes were absent in the legs and proprioception
was decreased to the ankle on left and the knee on right.
Patient had a SBP 70s in the ED but was mentating well A+Ox3.
CTA abdomen [**10-11**] revealed a stable large infrarenal AAA
measuring 7.2 x 7.7 x 9.3 cm of which a large portion was
thrombosed with no rupture or signs of impending rupture.
Vascular Surgery had consulted regarding possible vascular cause
for her weakness. Vascular Surgery did not find evidence of
aortic dissection or impending aortic rupture. CTA legs showed
extensive atherosclerotic plaque throughout the LE vasculature
and bilateral popliteal aneurysms R>L. There was occlusion of
the anterior tibial arteries at the origin on the right and at
the mid calf on the left. Patient refused any surgical or
endovascular intervention on her infrarenal AAA. MRI whole spine
[**10-11**] revealed a likely compeleted anterior spinal artery
infarct extending from T9 to conus.
Transferred to the neuro ICU for pressors. Patient was started
on aspirin 325mg daily and was treated conservatively. PT/OT
evaluated. On discusion, it was felt that no further imaging was
needed. Renal were consulted and patient was continued on HD.
On exam on [**10-12**], she improved slightly with increased strength
in her toes bilaterally. On [**10-14**] she had mild improvment in
toes and trace movement in quads on left. Her SBP was stable in
the 100- 130's while off pressors. She was transferred to the
floor on [**10-14**].
Her weakness continued to gradually improve during her
admission. On [**10-15**] she had a transient episode of chest
pressure/SOB - EKG and CM's were negative, CXR unchanged. She
had HD later that day and felt that her symptoms improved. Her
blood pressure remained stable from 100's - 130's. Her home
antihypertensives were held throughout her admission. These will
need to be restarted gradually once her blood pressure begins to
rise about 140. **Goal SBP is 100-140.**
Dermatology was consulted regarding acute on chronic itch and
skin changes in
her hands, arms and back. Given a close contact with scabies,
she had already undergone permethrin cream rx. Dermatology
recommended TAC ointment and Sarna lotion topical therapy. She
also received another permethrin cream whole body skin
application prior to discharge.
She was seen by PT/OT who recommended rehab placement upon
discharge.
TRANSITIONAL CARE ISSUES:
Patient will need close blood pressure monitoring. All of her
home BP medications (Toprol XL 100mg Daily, Lisinopril 10mg PO
Daily, Imdur 30mg QHS, Norvasc 10mg Daily) have been held during
her hospitalization. Her goal SBP is 100-140. Her
antihypertensives may be gradually restarted if her BP begins to
rise above 140. Caution must be taken during dialysis to avoid
hypotension.
Patient will need intensive PT/OT for her severe lower extremity
weakness.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Known lastname 1968**],
You were admitted to [**Hospital1 69**] on
[**2137-10-11**] for weakness in your legs. You were found to
have a blood clot in your spinal cord which is likely causing
your weakness. This may have been related to an episode of low
blood pressure during dialysis. Your weakness has improved
somewhat during your admission but you will need intensive
rehabilitation in order to regain your strength. You should
continue with your previous schedule of dialysis with close
attention to your blood pressure to avoid it dropping too low
again.
We made the following changes to your medications:
STARTED Aspirin 325mg daily
STOPPED Toprol XL 100mg Daily, Lisinopril 10mg PO Daily, Imdur
30mg QHS, Norvasc 10mg Daily. These should be restarted
gradually with close attention to your blood pressure.
If you experience any of the below listed danger signs, please
call your doctor or go to the nearest Emergency Department.
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay.
Followup Instructions:
The following appointment has been made for you in our stroke
clinic:
Provider: [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**First Name11 (Name Pattern1) 640**] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) 3445**], MD Phone:[**Telephone/Fax (1) 2574**]
Date/Time:[**2137-11-15**] 3:30
You should also make an appointment to see your primary care
doctor within 1-2 weeks.

taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for
monitoring. She later awoke neurologically intact and was
extubated. On postoperative day one she was transfused with
packed red blood cells for postoperative anemia. Her pressors
were later discontinued. Aspirin, beta blockade and a statin
were resumed. Later on postoperative day two she was transferred
to the step down unit for further recovery. She was gently
diuresed towards her preoperative weight. The physical therapy
service was consulted for assistance with her postoperative
strength and mobility. She had a short burst of atrial
fibrillation for which her beta blockade was increased and her
electrolytes were repleted. Ms. [**Known lastname 33578**] continued to make
steady progress and was discharged home on [**2178-4-28**]. She will
follow-up with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **], her cardiologist and her primary care
physician as an outpatient.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 26 year old
male, riding a bicycle, who was hit by a car. The patient
hit the windshield of the car, breaking the windshield and
had a brief loss of consciousness. The patient was initially
evaluated at an outside hospital, upon which evaluation he
was noted to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage on CAT scan of
his head. Following this, his mental status was noted to
deteriorate the patient was transferred to [**Hospital1 346**] for higher level of trauma care. On
presentation to the [**Hospital1 69**]
Emergency Room, the patient was complaining of neck and back
pain.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Negative.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY: Right hip gunshot wound and a left
chest stab wound.
MEDICATIONS: None.
ALLERGIES: None.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Positive ETOH, positive tobacco. Positive
opiates and positive cocaine.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On initial evaluation, the patient's
temperature was 98.6; heart rate 92; blood pressure 118/76;
respiratory rate of 12; saturating 100 percent on nasal
cannula. pH was 7.33, PC02 of 45, P02 of 79, bicarbonate 25,
base excess of 3. Venous oxygen saturation of 49 percent.
His white count was 20.1; hematocrit of 41.5; platelets were
259. His sodium was 145; potassium of 3.9; 109; C02 of 25;
ionized calcium 1.09; PT 12.6; PTT 21.6; INR of 1.0. His
fibrinogen was 258. Amylase was 83. Ethanol level was 181.
Urine toxicology was positive for benzodiazepine, opiates and
cocaine. Urinalysis was significant for moderate blood and
otherwise was negative.
On examination, the patient was moving all extremities. He
had a right posterior head scalp laceration, which had been
stapled at the outside hospital. His pupils were 5 mm
bilaterally and equally reactive to light. His tympanic
membranes were clear bilaterally. His oropharynx was clear.
Trachea was midline. His heart was regular rate and rhythm.
Lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. Chest was
without deformities or tenderness. Abdomen was soft,
nontender, nondistended. His vital signs were stable. His
flanks showed no deformities, CVA tenderness bilaterally.
Back showed no deformities and no tenderness. Spine showed
no deformity, no step-offs, no tenderness. Rectal and
perineal examination was significant for good rectal tone and
guaiac was negative. Perineum was atraumatic. Right upper
extremity and left upper extremity showed no deformities.
His right lower extremity had a small laceration which had
also been stapled. The left lower extremity showed no
deformities and his pulses were intact throughout. His GCS
examination: The patient had no verbal response and was
withdrawing to painful stimuli, giving him a GCS of 6 under
sedation. Chest x-ray, plain film, was negative. CT of the
head showed a small subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left
frontal area and a small left lateral convex subdural
hematoma. CT of the cervical spine was negative. CT of the
chest showed a bilateral dependent lower lobe consolidations
and a CT of the abdomen was negative. Right knee plain films
were negative.
ASSESSMENT:
1. Subarachnoid hemorrhage.
2. Subdural hemorrhage.
3. Bilateral lung consolidations.
4. Right posterior head laceration.
5. Right knee laceration.
PLAN: Admit the patient to trauma, initially to the
Intensive Care Unit.
Sedate with Propofol and provide Morphine if needed.
Monitor with an A line.
The patient was on a ventilator on transfer. This was
continued.
The patient was provided with gastrointestinal prophylaxis in
the form of Pepcid.
Foley was placed.
He was covered with insulin sliding scale for hyperglycemia.
His C collar was kept in place to protect his cervical spine.
Neurosurgery was consulted for the traumatic brain injury.
Pneumo boots were provided for deep vein thrombosis
prophylaxis.
The patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
Additionally, Dilantin was provided for seizure prophylaxis
given the subarachnoid brain injury.
Neurosurgery's recommendations were to keep the systolic
blood pressure less than 150, to examine neurologic checks
every one hour, continue the Dilantin and repeat the head CT
the following day.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was able to follow commands and
move all four extremities upon lightening his sedation later
the day of admission and his ventilator was weaned. He was
able to be extubated.
Upon further evaluation of his head and face CT, the patient
was found to have a left posterior lateral fracture of the
maxillary sinus and plastic surgery was consulted for
management. They recommended to keep the patient's head
elevated and continue the neurosurgical precautions. The
fracture was found to be non displaced and there was no
indication for surgical repair. The patient was able to be
extubated later on the day of admission. He was still
complaining of right knee pain; however, there were no
fractures on the films. His subarachnoid was stable on
repeat head CT scan. The plan was to perform a magnetic
resonance scan of the patient's right knee due to ligamentous
or soft tissue injury per the Orthopedic service. However,
on further evaluation, recommendation was changed to fit the
patient for [**Initials (NamePattern4) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **] brace and follow-up with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **],
orthopedic attending, in two weeks. The patient's mental
status improved and he was able to be transferred to the
floor on hospital day number two. He was initially provided
with a sitter and had no acute events. He was afebrile.
Vital signs were stable. His cervical spine was cleared
clinically and he was seen by physical therapy. He was
ambulated by physical therapy with assistance. Later that
evening, house staff was notified that the patient wanted to
leave against medical advice. The patient had been seen by
physical therapy earlier and due to an unsteady gait was
urged to stay for further physical therapy evaluation the
following day. The patient refused and the risks and
possible consequences of leaving against medical advice were
explained. The patient stated understanding and was able to
explain the nature of leaving against medical advice back to
the house staff evaluating the patient. His vital signs were
stable at that time. His mental status was lucid and clear
and there were no new medical interventions being planned.
At that time, the patient was sent with some discharge
orders. His disposition was to home.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: The patient was leaving against
medical advice and, as such, the patient understood releasing
the hospital and its employees of responsibilities of such
consequences.
The patient was instructed to keep the brace on his leg as
explained.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES: Left frontal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Facial fractures.
Bilateral pulmonary contusions.
Right knee strain.
FOLLOW UP: Follow-up with Orthopedics, Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **], in two
weeks. Telephone number [**Telephone/Fax (1) 1113**].
Follow-up with plastic surgery in 2 to 3 weeks, [**Telephone/Fax (1) 17687**].

Chief Complaint:
Generalized tonic clonic seizure x2
Reason for MICU transfer: Seizure, PNA, CHF and r/o meningitis
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Ms. [**Known lastname 99188**] is an 83 year-old woman with HTN, DM, lupus, CKD and
a history of seizure disorder who presents from home after two
seizures. Patient reports first sizure around 5:30pm with
generalized tonic clonic movements lasting about 4 minutes with
a second seizure lasting a shorter duration. Per daughter,
seizures in the past have been attributed to her lupus (?).
Initial vitals in the ED were 96.7 33 160/84 16 100%RA. Pt was
satting 90% on RA and was put on BiPAP at that time. Labs in the
ED were notable for WBC 9.1 71.9%N, HCT 38.3 (b/l 33) proBNP
2626, Cr 2.4 (b/l 1.4-1.5), Glucose 208, Lactate 2.2 and TropT
0.02. K was 6.6. UA was notable for 6 WBC and few bacteria with
nitr negative. CXR revealed pulmonary edema with suggestion of
LUL consolidation c/f PNA. A head CT scan revealed no acute
process. Given presenting complaint of seizures, meningitis was
considered but LP was deferred. Neurology was consulted and
advised emperic treatment for meningitis and starting keppra.
The patient received 750mg IV levofloxacin originally out of c/f
PNA. This was stopped in favor of azithromycin 500mg IV with the
thought that this had less risk of lowering seizure threshold.
For c/f meningitis, received 2g IV ceftriaxone, 2g IV
ampicillin, 600mg IV acyclovir, 1g IV vancomycin. For seizures
received 750mg IV levetiracetam. Also 10 units IV of regular
insulin for hyperkalemia, and 650mg rectal tylenol. Prior to
transfer pt was off Bipap. Vitals on transfer were
On arrival to the MICU, patient appears comfortable although
still requiring 10% nonrebreather but satting high 90s on this.
Denies pain. States her breathing feels much improved.

Brief Hospital Course:
83 y/o F h/o HTN, DM, lupus, CKD and a history of seizure
disorder presents with hypoxia after 2 sequential seizures.
# HYPOXIA -> Patient reports that she occasionally has dyspnea
at home. She has a known history of interstitial lung disease
based on prior chest CTs. On presentation, she reported that
her dyspnea was worse than her baseline. She was initially
found to be febrile to 101, tachypneic to the 30s, with O2 sats
in the low 90s. She was initially started on BiPap in the ED,
and then transitioned to a 100% non-rebreather in the MICU.
Differential for her hypoxia included pulmonary edema given
known history of diastolic heart failure, pneumonia,
interstitial lung disease. Her O2 supplement was weaned from NRB
with antibiotics and additional lasix. Repeat echocardiogram
suggested worsening diastolic heart failure. Chest CT was done
after patient failed to notably improve after significant
diuresis and showed LUL and LLL consolidations as well as
chronic ILD. Patient was continued on IV ceftriaxone and
azithromycin for presumed pneumonia. Other than consolidations
on chest CT, there were no other overt signs of infection;
patient remained afebrile, without elevations in her WBC count.
However, she is chronically on steroids, which may have been
masking a possible infection. Once weaned to 3L NC was called
out of MICU. She continued to do well from respiratory
perspective and was satting in the high 90s on 2L O2. At
transfer, she continued on IV ceftriaxone and azithromycin, and
had been diuresed a total of 3L. On the floor, her antibiotics
were transitioned to PO cefpodoxime and azithromycin. She
received one dose of lasix PO on the floor. She was felt to be
euvolemic at that point (minimal crackles at bases, no JVD, no
LE edema). She was taken off oxygen and was satting in the high
90s on room air. Pulmonary saw her and felt that the
consolidations were most likely due to an aspiration
pneumonitis, not pneumonia. Pulmonary recommended outpatient
pulmonary follow-up for PFTs and follow-up of interstitial lung
disease. She was discharged with one additional day of
azithromycin and 3 more days of cefpodoxime.
# SEIZURES -> She initially presented with seizures, possibly
generalized tonic clonic seizure by description of the family,
with history of provoked seizure and possible epilepsy, although
unclear of the exact diagnosis. Patient was not on AED at home.
She initially had drowsiness, thought to be post-ictal.
Etiology of seizure likely multifactorial with underlying PNA on
chest imaging, and acute kidney injury causing medication
accumulation. LP was attempted but was unsuccessful. Her
clinical presentation was not consistent with meningitis (no
meningeal signs, not sensitive to light, full range of neck
motion without pain, no c/o headache); meningitis antibiotics
were discontinued. Her mental status improved over the course
of her MICU stay. She was started on Keppra 750 mg [**Hospital1 **]. No
further seizure activity was noted. Per neurology, patient
should be maintained on keppra for seizure prophylaxis for at
least two years if seizure free, and likely for life.
# Acute renal failure on CKD. Creatinine increased to 2.4 from
baseline of 1.4-1.5. Thought to be pre-renal in the setting of
cardiac dysfunction, poor perfusion, and possibly decreased oral
intake. Medications were adjusted based on renal function. Her
cre improved with diuresis to 1.1. Once on the floor, she
recieved her home dose of PO lasix, 20 mg, and subsequently had
a bump in her cre to 1.3. Lasix was subsequently held given
clinical euvolemia. Recommend restarting lasix upon discharge.
# Bradycardia. Patient initially had HR in mid 50s. Appears
this is her more recent baseline. Last ECG in [**Month (only) 116**] had HR of 59.
Patient's metoprolol was held temporarily for 1 day and
restarted on [**2110-3-29**]. On the floor, patient was noted to have
episodes of bradycardia down to the 30s. Telemetry showed long
pauses without p waves as well as some variable p wave
morphology, possibly related to sick sinus syndrome. EKG showed
long PR interval consistent with 1st degree AV block. Patient
does report that she often feels dizzy at home, although not
here in the hospital, which is concerning for symptomatic
bradycardia. Metoprolol was held given low HR with good
improvement. HR was in the 60-70s at discharge. Patient
remained asymptomatic relative to bradycardia during her
hospitalization.
# Chest pain -> After several days on the floor, patient
developed some new back pain as well as abdominal pain. EKG was
done and showed prolonged PR interval consistent with first
degree AV block but no ST changes. LFTs were normal. Felt to
be most likely musculoskeletal.
# Hypertension. BP on arrival 160 systolic. Likely [**12-26**]
heightened anxiety/sensation of dyspnea. Possible BP has been
further uncontrolled at home which could have caused flash
pulmonary edema. However, given underlying infection and acute
renal failure, her antihypertensives were held for a day with
the exception of lasix to treat presumed pulmonary edema. Her
amlodipine, enalapril, and metoprolol were restarted on
[**2110-3-29**]. Metoprolol was subsequently discontinued on the floor
due to bradycardia down to the 30s.
# Diabetes, insulin dependent. Patient was initially NPO given
mental status. As her mental status improved, she was restarted
on home NPH with sliding scale. Blood sugars hovered in the
mid-200s to 300s. Sliding scale was increased slightly with
some improvement.
# Lupus. Does not appear to be in acute flare.
Hydroxychloroquine and prednisione were restarted on [**2110-3-28**].
Creatinine improved, therefore, hydroxychloroquine dosage was
not changed as it can potentially lower seizure threshold in
renal failure.
# Anemia, chronic. Hct initially was up to 38.3, thought to be
from hemoconcentration. It returned to her baseline around 33
by [**2110-3-29**]. Remained stable throughout hospitalization.
# Elevated lactate 2.2. No anion gap. Could be elevated in the
setting of seizure. Hemodynamically stable for the MICU stay.
# Hyperkalemia. K of 6.6 on arrival. Received 10u IV insulin
in ED with K down to 4.4. Resolved.

Discharge Instructions:
Dear Ms. [**Last Name (Titles) 99189**],
It was a pleasure participating in your care. You were admitted
to the hospital because you had two seizures. You were seen by
Neurology, who recommended that you take a daily medication to
prevent seizures in the future.
You had difficulty breathing when you came into the hospital.
We did a CT scan of your chest and found some abnormal changes
in your lungs. We also treated you with antibiotics because you
may have an infection in your lungs. We recommend that you
follow-up with your lung doctor (pulmonologist).
We also saw that you had some fluid in your lungs. We gave you
medication and helped remove the fluid from your lungs. This
medication helped improve your breathing.
Several times while you were in the hospital, you developed a
very low heart rate. We stopped your medication, metoprolol, to
help increase your heart rate.
Please continue to take all your home medications as prescribed,
except the following:

Micro:
[**11-11**]: blood cx 1/4 bottles +E coli
[**11-12**]: blood cx negative
[**11-14**]: urine cx negative
Imaging:
CXR [**11-11**]: No definite evidence for an acute cardiopulmonary
process, however, if symptoms persist, a dedicated PA and
lateral chest radiograph should be obtained.
CT abd/pelv [**11-12**]:
1. Bilateral pleural effusions.
2. Right basal lung consolidation.
3. Moderate ascites.
CXR [**11-12**]: Bilateral lower lobe opacities, possibly representing
aspiration or atelectasis. Bilateral effusions are likely.
CXR [**11-13**]: Basal densities developing over the last two days and
are suggestive of bilateral pleural effusions. Complete PA and
lateral chest view is recommended for further confirmation of
the somewhat subtle findings. A previous abdominal chest CT of
[**2149-11-12**], included images of the basal portions of the
lungs disclosed bilateral pleural effusions as well as some
atelectasis in the dependent portion of the posterior segments.
This finding is consistent with findings observed on the single
portable chest view, which however, cannot present same detail
as the CT examination.
CXR [**11-14**]: Small bilateral pleural effusions have decreased
since [**11-13**]. Minimal interstitial edema persists along
with left lobe atelectasis. No findings to suggest pneumonia. A
paucity vessels in the upper lobes suggest emphysema. Heart size
is normal and midline. No pneumothorax.
RLE LENI [**11-15**] 6am: This examination had suboptimal images of
the superficial femoral vein and was repeated.
RLE LENI [**11-15**] 12pm: No evidence of DVT in the right lower
extremity.
Brief Hospital Course:
Assessment: 56yo man with h/o poorly controlled DM admitted with
DKA secondary to medication non-adherence in the setting of
depression.
Hospital course is reviewed below by problem:
1. DKA - The patient was started on an insulin drip per standard
protocol for ~30 hours. His anion gap closed, and he was started
on NPH at 15u [**Hospital1 **] given his poor PO intake (on 25u [**Hospital1 **] at home).
After adjustment during his hospital stay, he was discharged on
25 units NPH qam and 18 units NPH qhs.
2. Leukocytosis - The patient presented with a WBC of 24. This
was initially thought to be a stress reaction similar to that
evidenced in a prior admission, but after one blood culture grew
E coli he was started on levofloxacin and flagyl. The remainder
of the blood cultures were positive, including the other 3 from
that day, and he had no source of infection, nor was he febrile.
As such, the levofloxacin was continued only for a 7 day course
for possible pneumonia (CXR with unclear basal opacities on
initial read). Flagyl was discontinued given the culture results
of E coli. His WBC trended down and was normal at discharge.
3. ARF - He was admitted with a Cr of 3.2, a similar elevation
to his last admission for DKA. This was most likely secondary to
dehydration from the hyperglycemia. He was aggressively hydrated
with IVF and his Cr was 0.7 on discharge.
4. Hyperkalemia - On admission, he had peaked T waves on ECG and
a K of 8.3. His hyperglycemia was treated with IVF and insulin,
and he received calcium for the hyperkalemia. This resolved and
was within normal limits once his anion gap closed.
5. CV - He had a h/o cardiomyopathy, but not CAD. He had no
evidence of active ischemia during this admission. He was
discharged on home regimen of ASA and lisinopril. Outpatient
echo was recommended to re-assess his LVEF.
6. H/o EtOH - The patient denied recent EtOH use. He had no
evidence of withdrawal.
7. Socioeconomic issues - The social worker was extensively
involved in this hospitalization. At discharge, Pharmacare had
been contact[**Name (NI) **] to waive the copay for his prescriptions and he
was notified of this. He was given information about the
resources available to him for aid and instructed on how to
contact the agencies involved.
8. Code status - full.
9. depression- a major contributor to his original presentation.
Pt requested an inpatient psychiatric consultation, which was
obtained.

No subclavian line is present. There is no evidence of a
pneumothorax. The heart remains enlarged, right effusion is
present. Compared to the prior film of 5 hours earlier the
vasculature appears slightly more prominent and the degree of

IMPRESSION:
No pneumothorax, cardiomegaly with some evidence of failure.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) [**2174-10-15**] 3:05 PM
AP CHEST: This study is limited by low lung volumes and
respiratory motion. The heart, mediastinal and hilar contours
are unchanged in the interval allow-
ing for differences in technique. The aorta is tortuous. There
is some elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with possible
atelectasis at the right base.
IMPRESSION: Limited study due to Low lung volumes and motion.
ECG:
Sinus rhythm. Conduction defect of right bundle-branch block
type. Low
QRS voltages in precordial leads. Since the previous tracing of
[**2173-9-30**]
ventricular ectopy is resolved
Brief Hospital Course:
1. PNA: Patient was admitted to the MICU and was aggressively
hydrated with fluids and treated with abx: azithromycin and
Ceftriaxone. He was pancultured with blood culture and urine
culture both negative. His sputum grew many diferent types of
oral flora. [**Last Name (un) **] stim test was done but was no longer needed as
patient quickly stabilized, no steroides were instituted. He was
stabilized and transferred to floor. Abx were continued,
Physical therapy and pulmonary toilet were both requested and
performed while on the floor. He was continued on his
alb/atrovent nebs for the wheezes. He was discharged stable on
room air without supplemental oxygen and on azithromycin and
cefpodoxime.
2. CAD: asa, lipitor were both continued while in the hospital.
He was noted to have elevated troponins but in review of his
records he has elevated troponins at baseline due to his CRI.
Thus, the small rise in his troponins on this admission was [**1-3**]
demand ischemia in setting of stress/hypotension. No further
workup was done.
CHF: stable, no evidence of heart failure. His Accupril was
restarted on day of discharge as his blood pressure had been
stable while on the floor for more than 24hours.
3. COPD: stable continued on fluticasone/salmeterol,
alb/atrovent, tiotropium
4. OSA: stable, continued on his outpatient doses of ritalin sr
and ritalin
5. HTN: restarted on Accupril 5mg once a day.
6. DM: stable, continued on his outpatient NPH doses, and RISS
7. Glaucoma: stable continued on his outpatient latanoprost and

shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
71 year old man with recent hospitalization [**Date range (1) 28125**] for heart
failure, during which he was diuresed and discharged home. He is
a poor historian. He reports that he has been taking his Lasix,
but for the past day or so has been having shortness of breath
and discomfort in his xiphoid/epigastric region. It is "mild" in
intensity and does not radiate. He denies nausea, vomiting, and
abdominal pain. His shortness of breath limits his ability to
walk. He saw his primary care RN three days ago and was
instructed to increase his Lasix dose by 80mg daily x 3 days.
.
In the ED, triage vitals were T97.4F, BP 101/56, HR 95, Sat
94%RA. He was given 325mg aspirin. CXR showed no acute process
and improvement from prior with better aeration, although he
still has decreased lung volumes. He was noted to have bibasilar
rales and expiratory wheezes, and given increased creatinine
(1.7)
.
Review of the Atrius records indicates that his [**Location (un) 2274**] caregivers
were quite concerned about him at home given his medication
noncompliance and recommended that he stay in the hospital until
completely diuresed or go to short term rehab.

CHEST X-RAY PA and lateral [**2151-5-21**]:
Similar to the prior exam, lung volumes are diminished with
marked elevation of the right hemidiaphragm again noted and
stable. There is improved aeration with no focal consolidation
or superimposed edema noted. Mild aortic tortuosity is again
noted with calcified plaque at the arch. The cardiac silhouette
size is stable and likely top normal accounting for patient and
technical factors. No effusion or pneumothorax is noted. The
osseous structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Stable chest
x-ray examination with no definite acute pulmonary process.
.
CT Scan of CHEST on [**2151-5-29**]:
1. Mild atelectasis at the right base.
2. Opacification noted in prior study is due to vessels
tortuosity. No
concerning lung lesion or lymphadenopathy is noted.
3. Small amount of ascites.
.
RENAL Ultrasound on [**2151-5-26**]:
The study is slightly limited by difficulties with positioning.
The right kidney measures 10.4 cm. The left kidney measures 9.8
cm. No
stones or hydronephrosis are identified. The bladder is
decompressed with a Foley catheter noted.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of hydronephrosis.
Brief Hospital Course:
ASSESSMENT/PLAN: 71 yo M with history of CHF (EF 30-35%) and
recent admission for CHF now admitted with dizziness, chest
pain, and shortness of breath.
.
#) Shortness of Breath: Likely multifactorial. His initial
presentation was consistent with acute on chronic systolic heart
failure. The patient was diruesed with IV Lasix, but
subsequently became dehydrated and developed hypotension and
acute on chronic renal failure. He was transfered to the CCU
for further management. In the CCU: his diuretics were held to
allow renal recovery. Despite diuresis and appearing
near-euvolemic on exam, he remained dyspneic. Pulmonology was
consulted for further investigation. ABGs demonstrated
hypercarbic respiratory acidosis, likely due to his obstructive
airway disease. Patient improved by using BIPAP from 10pm-7am,
and treating for COPD exacerbation with azithromycin and
prednisone taper. He has an appoitment to follow up with his
outpatient cardiologist.
.
#) Acute on chronic renal failure: The patient developed acute
on chronic renal failure in the setting of overdiuresis. He was
treated with initially IV fluids and then with holding of Lasix.
Upon recovery of renal function, Lasix was resumed at 80mg po
daily.
.
#) Hypotension: On [**2151-5-25**], the patient's blood pressure was
noted to be 82/doppler. This responded quickly, with a fluid
bolus, with systolic blood pressure subsequently 110. The
patient was transferred to the CCU for further management. On
admission to the CCU, his blood pressure was normotensive and
remained such throughout the rest of his admission.
.
#) Chest pain: The patient had chest pain prior to admission,
which recurred on [**2151-5-25**], in the setting of hypotension to 82.
He ruled out for MI.
.
#) History of CVA: The patient was subtherapeutic on admission.
Warfarin was started at 10 mg daily. Subsequently, the patient
became supratherapeutic and warfarin was held. Warfarin
continued to be held in the setting of hematuria and rectal
bleeding.
.
#) Rectal bleeding: Patient had intermittent boughts of BRBPR.
According to Atrius records, he has known hemorroids. H/H have
been stable. Patient will follow up with his PMD for this issue.
.
#) Hematuria: Patient's foley was frequently irrigated and
eventually switched to a 3 way foley. He has known prostate CA.
H/H stable throughout admission and there were no signs of
urinary tract obstruction. Patient will follow up with his PMD
and his PMD will refer to urology as needed.

C-DIFFICILE TOXIN [**2123-6-4**]: Feces negative
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the surgical service from the ER.
She was maintained NPO with IVF/MEDS/ABX. CT abd/pelvis
demonstrated reaccumulation of intraabdominal fluid collections
previously drained by pigtails, and a new fluid collection below
her incision. Initially treated with Zosyn 4.5gm IV q8h, and
received one dose vancomycin 1gm IV. At 7am, she spiked a temp
to 101.2. Around noon, the patient triggered on the floor for
tachypnea with RR 30-40s, HR 120s, and altered mental status.
Labs were notable for WBC 20-->30-->36 over the course of the
day. As patient worsened, on [**6-1**], Zosyn switched to meropenem
500mg IV q8h, and was given one dose Fluconazole 400mg IV. She
went to IR where she underwent CT-guided drain placement to
drain her pelvic fluid collections, ~75cc purulent drainage was
noted at the time of the procedure. Additionally 1L of bilious
fluid was drained from an NG tube placed at the time of the
procedure. She was intubated for the procedure. She became
hypotensive during the procedure in the setting of general
anesthesia, requiring neo at one point, however has otherwise
been hemodynamically stable throughout this admission.
She returned to the floor and was continued to receive TPN/IV
abx and maintained as NPO. Her foley was removed and she was
started on oral/home medications. Drain teaching/PICC/TPN was
provied to the patient and mother. The patient will follow up
with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 1120**] in [**11-20**] weeks.

Conclusions
PREBYPASS
1. The left atrium is moderately dilated.
2. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is borderline normal
(LVEF 45-50%).
3. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are
normal.
4. The ascending aorta tube graft appears abnormal with a
supravalvular obstruction which may represent a kinking of the
aortic root (homograft root) and ascending aortic tube graft
connection. A bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis is present.
Motion of the aortic valve prosthesis leaflets/discs is abnormal
with one leaflet prolapsing into the LVOT and the other two
leaflets are calcified and fairly immobile. The prosthetic
aortic valve leaflets are thickened. There is moderate aortic
valve stenosis ?supravalvular(area 1.0-1.2cm2). Moderate to
severe (3+) aortic regurgitation is seen.
5. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen.
6. There is no pericardial effusion.
7. Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was notified in person of the results
during the surgery on [**2146-4-20**] at 1156
POST-BYPASS:
The patient is in sinus rhythm and on infusions of
phenylephrine, epinephrine 0.03 mcg/kg/min, and vasopressin
3units/hour
1. Biventricular is mildly depressed in the immediate post
bypass period. The function normalized by the end of the surgery
(on vasoactive infusions). Overall LVEF 50 to 55%
2. A new mechanical aortic valve is present is good position
with good leaflet motion and appropriate washing jets. The peak
velocity through the valve is approximately 3 m/s with a peak
gradient of 37 mmHg (C.O 6 l/min]
3. A new aortic tube graft has replaced the previous one and
relieved the supravalvular obstrucion.
4. Mild MR and trivial TR.
5. Intact thoracic aorta.
I certify that I was present for this procedure in compliance
with HCFA regulations.

Brief Hospital Course:
Admitted [**4-20**] and underwent surgery with Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]. Please
refer to separate operative note. Extubated the following
morning and suffered a single seizure. Neurology was consulted.
CT of the head revealed no bleed, and multiple old granulomas.
EEG did not reveal evidence for seizure. The patient developed
compartment syndrome of right lower extremity. He was
reintubated for surgical fasciotomy by Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] after
right calf swelling noted on POD #1. Extubated again on POD #2.
He awoke neurologically intact without further seizure or
neurological complication. Wound vac was placed to fasciotomy
sites. Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued in the
usual fashion without complication. Coumadin was started. He
was gently diuresed toward his preoperative weight. The
physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with
post-operative strength and mobility. The patient noted
difficulty with [**Location (un) 1131**] comprehension, so neurology was
re-consulted. MRI/MRA of the head and neck were performed and
results are pending at the time of discharge. Postop course was
otherwise uneventful and the patient was discharged home with
appropriate follow up instructions as well as VNA services on
POD 5.

Admission Date: [**2195-7-5**] Discharge Date: [**2195-7-8**]
Service: CCU
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a [**Age over 90 **] year old male with
three vessel coronary artery disease with a history of atrial
fibrillation, congestive heart failure and ejection fraction
of 55%, chronic renal insufficiency, and hypertension, who
was sent to the Emergency Department from home after being
noted to have shortness of breath at home. Very scant
records, but per the home health aid, the patient was found
to be mottled with rales half way up. The patient received
sublingual Nitroglycerin times two and 80 mg of Lasix
intravenous with urine output. In the Emergency Department,
the patient was noted to be in pulmonary edema and also
developed sustained ventricular tachycardia for two minutes
with hypotension. He was started on Amiodarone drip. The
patient was also put on BiPAP for signs of hypoxia. At that
point, there was discussion with the family and with the
patient and he was confirmed to be DNR/DNI, no shocks, no
pressors, no catheterizations. The patient was then
transferred to the CCU where his blood pressure was 96/54,
heart rate 70, respiratory rate 16, 100% nonrebreather mask.
The patient denied chest pressure or chest pain and states
that his shortness of breath had improved.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On admission, in general, the patient
was responsive to voice, breathing more comfortably,
temperature 97.4, blood pressure 97/47, heart rate 79,
respiratory rate 20, oxygen saturation 100% on nonrebreather
mask. Head, eyes, ears, nose and throat - The pupils are
equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation.
Extraocular movements are intact. Sclera nonicteric. Neck
was supple with jugular venous distention at eight
centimeters. The lungs had decreased breath sounds at the
bases, rales two thirds of the way up. Cardiovascular was
regular rate and rhythm, with II to III/VI systolic ejection
murmur at the left lower sternal border. The abdomen was
soft, nontender, nondistended. Hemoccult positive per the
Emergency Department. Extremities showed no edema.
LABORATORY DATA: White blood cell count was 18.1, hemoglobin
13.6, hematocrit 43.0, platelet count 276,000. Sodium 139,
potassium 4.5, chloride 102, bicarbonate 16, blood urea
nitrogen 36, creatinine 1.5, glucose 313. CK 194, troponin
1.1, and Digoxin level was less than 0.3. The urinalysis was
within normal limits.
The first electrocardiogram at 3:15 a.m. showed atrial
fibrillation at 105 beats per minute with a left axis
deviation, wide QRS complexes with frequent ectopy, ST
depressions in V4 through V6. The electrocardiogram at 6:55
a.m. showed a sinus rhythm at 70 beats per minute with left
axis deviation, prolonged PR interval. This was post
Amiodarone. ST depression 2.0 millimeters in V4 through V6
and in aVL. Chest x-ray showed pronounced congestive heart
failure with volume overload and bilateral small pleural
effusions.
On [**2195-7-6**], the patient ruled in with a peak CK of 432 and
MB fraction of 79. The Amiodarone was discontinued and Heparin
was started. Lopressor dose was increased and the patient also
was noted to have some intermittent nonsustained ventricular
tachycardia, three beats on the monitor. On the evening of
[**2195-7-6**], the Metoprolol was held for bradycardia and in
addition, there was an echocardiogram that was performed
which showed severe impairment in the left ventricular
function compared with the echocardiogram of [**4-14**]. Of note,
the echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 20 to 30%
with anteroapical hypokinesis, mild aortic insufficiency,
mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, diastolic dysfunction,
severe dilation of the left ventricle with a normal
thickness. As a result of the low ejection fraction, the
patient was then started on Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. He
tolerated this quite well. On [**2195-7-7**], the patient
continued to remain hemodynamically stable and remained in
normal sinus rhythm.
His discharge plans were discussed and there was an extensive
discussion regarding anticoagulation, however, it was felt
that at this time given the patient's age and risk of falling
that anticoagulation would not be opted for despite the fact
that the patient has atrial fibrillation as well as wall
motion abnormalities. The final decision regarding
anticoagulation will be up to the patient's primary care
physician, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1266**]. The patient was advised to
follow-up with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 1266**] in two to three days for
renal function tests as the patient was started on once daily
Lisinopril 5 mg tablet one tablet p.o. once daily.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. [**Known lastname 52495**] is a 66 year old
man with known coronary arteries, status post multiple
interventions with the last catheterization on [**2163-1-21**] with stents to his proximal and mid right coronary
artery as well as his proximal left anterior descending
coronary artery. Prior to admission the patient complained
of shortness of breath with exertion, chest pain with rest
and with exertion and palpitations, all worsening over the
past year. Chest pain is relieved with rest and/or
nitroglycerine. A stress test done [**2163-12-16**] showed
reversible ischemia in the inferior left ventricular wall
with an ejection fraction of 56 percent. He was then
referred for cardiac catheterization which was done on the
day of admission showing three vessel disease and then was
referred for coronary artery bypass grafting. As stated, the
patient's catheterization showed left main 60 percent, left
anterior descending coronary artery with patent stents in the
mid vessel, 60 percent stenosis, circumflex with minimal
disease and right coronary artery with 80 percent ostial
disease.

LABORATORY DATA: White count 4.9, hematocrit 36.7, platelets
56. Sodium 144, potassium 3.2, chloride 111, CO2 19, BUN 11,
creatinine 0.8, glucose 200. PT 15.5, PTT 106.9, INR 1.5,
ALT 37, AST 36, alkaline phosphatase 57, total bilirubin 1.0,
albumin 3.2. Patient had bilateral duplex examination,
carotid duplex that showed no significant carotid disease.
Additionally patient was seen by the neurology as well as the
hematology service and cleared to proceed surgery and cleared
for surgery.
The patient was followed by the medical service during these
evaluations and was ultimately brought to the operating room
on [**1-8**]. Please see the operating room report for
full details. In summary, the patient had an off pump
coronary artery bypass grafting times three with a left
internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending
coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the right coronary
artery, and saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal. He
tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the
operating room to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. At
the time of transfer the patient was in sinus rhythm at 74
beats per minutes with a mean arterial pressure of 66 and a
CVP of 11. He was on propofol at 20 mcg per kilogram per
minute. The patient did well in the immediate postoperative
period. He failed his initial attempt at extubation and was
begun on Apresodex due to agitation. Following a second
attempt to extubate which failed the patient was sedated
throughout the night of operative day one. On postoperative
day one the patient was hemodynamically stable. He was
successfully weaned from the ventilator and extubated. On
postoperative day two the patient continued to be
hemodynamically stable. All intravenous medications were
converted to oral medications. His chest tubes were removed
and he was transferred to the floor for continuing
postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. On the first
two days on the floor the patient remained hemodynamically
stable. He was, however, noted to be extremely lethargic but
has nonfocal neurological examination at that time. On
postoperative day six the patient continued to be lethargic
and somnolent with orientation, good attention and intact
short term memory but with the need to repeat questions
before the patient seemed to be able to verbalize a response.
Sepsis work up was initiated at that time on postoperative
day seven. Patient showed increasing agitation and was
uncooperative with the medical as well as the surgical as
well as the nursing staff and at that time the patient was
sent for a head CT scan which revealed hydrocephalus,
following which a neurosurgery consult was obtained and a
ventriculostomy drain was placed. At that time the patient
was transferred to the neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit.
Additionally the CT scan showed an embolic right sided
stroke.
Patient was followed by the neurosurgery service as well as
the cardiac surgery service for the remainder of his
hospitalization. He remained in the neurosurgical Intensive
Care Unit until [**1-26**] at which time the drain was
clamped. The patient had a head CT following which he was
transferred to the Neurosurgical Step Down unit. The
intracranial drain was removed and the patient was
transferred to [**5-21**] for continuing postoperative care. Over
the next several days the patient remained hemodynamically
stable. He was evaluated by physical therapy, was found to
become hypotensive with ambulation. This was felt to be
secondary to prolonged inactivity. At that time a decision
was made that the patient should be screened for
rehabilitation and transferred when a bed became available in
order to give the patient adequate time to increase the
strength and endurance. On postoperative day 27 it was
decided that the patient was stable and ready to be
discharged to rehabilitation. At this time the patient's
physical examination is as follows. Temperature 98.1, heart
rate 76, blood pressure 110, 60, respiratory rate 18, rate
85.2 kilos, preoperatively 101 kilos.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Neurologic: Alert and oriented times
three, moves all extremities. Follows commands. Nonfocal
examination. Pulmonary clear to auscultation bilaterally.
Cardiac: Regular rate and rhythm. S1, s2. Sternum is
stable. Incision healing well without drainage or erythema.
Abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended with normal active
bowel sounds. Extremities were warm and well perfused with
no edema. Left open saphenous vein graft harvest site
healing well, no erythema or edema. ICP drain excision site
with sutures clean and dry, covered with a dry sterile
dressing. He also has a Foley to gravity due to
postoperative failure to void. Patient has a history of
transurethral resection of the prostate in the past with
difficulty voiding after Foley removal times two in the past.
Patient's medications at time of discharge include aspirin
325 daily, Synthroid 125 B.I.D., Lopressor 25 mg B.I.D.,
Prilosec 40 daily, folate 1 daily, Pravastatin 40 daily,
Zoloft 75 daily, thiamine 100 daily and Flomax 0.4 daily.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Coronary artery disease, status post off pump coronary
artery bypass grafting times three with a left internal
mammary artery to the left anterior descending coronary
artery, saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery,
saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery,

no sepsis risk factors noted at the time of delivery.
Rupture of membranes with clear fluid occurred at the time of
delivery.
The patient did well in the delivery room. He was vigorous
at delivery. There was a baseball sized omphalocele with
intact membranes noted. There was no liver noted within the
mass. There was edematous umbilical cord noted. Apgars were
[**7-23**]. The patient was intubated in the delivery room because
of mild to moderate respiratory distress and desire to avoid
gastric insufflation with C-pap. He was intubated with 3-0
endotracheal tube and a 0 blade. The tongue was perhaps
somewhat large and there was marked frenular shortening
noted. The abdomen was draped in sterile gauze soaked in
normal saline and placed in a sterile bag for preservation of
moisture. The patient was brought to the NICU after visiting
with parents.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The patient was pink, active,
generally non dysmorphic, large for gestational age infant.
Weight was 4.05 kg (with the dressing on greater than 90th
percentile). Head circumference was 34 cm (90th percentile).
HEENT: Notable for slightly large tongue as noted above.
The tongue was somewhat bifid with a tight frenulum. The
ears were slightly posteriorly rotated with large lobes.
There were no vertical creases noted in the earlobes.
Cardiac exam showed normal S1 and S2 without murmurs or
gallops. Pulses were 2+ and equal bilaterally. The abdomen
was as described above. Genitalia, normal male with possible
glandular hypospadias. The exam of the genitalia was
somewhat brief due to the omphalocele defect. Testes were in
the scrotum bilaterally. Neuro exam showed non focal age
appropriate exam. Hips were not examined due to dressing a
bag over the baby's lower extremities. Spine was intact.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Respiratory: The patient, as noted above, was intubated
in the delivery room for mild to moderate respiratory
distress. Chest x-ray showed mildly granular lung fields
bilaterally consistent with mild hyaline membrane disease.
Endotracheal tube was pulled back 1 cm with normal breath
sounds noted afterwards. A single dose of Survanta 4 cc/kilo
was administered. The patient had initial venous blood gas
that showed a PH of 7.18 with CO2 of 80. At this time
patient was well saturated and 30% oxygen. Settings were
increased slightly and repeat blood gas is pending at the
time of this dictation.
2. Cardiovascular: No murmurs were noted. The patient had
a mean blood pressure in the 40's and was well perfused.
3. Fluids, Electrolytes & Nutrition: The patient was
maintained npo with gastric decompression. Total fluids were
begun at 100 cc/kilo/day of D10W based on a birth weight of
3.9 kg.
4. Hematologic: CBC on admission showed a hematocrit of
55.9 with white count of 11.0. Platelet count was 393,000.
Differential was pending at the time of this dictation.
5. Infectious Disease: Given the patient's respiratory
distress, was started on antibiotics, Ampicillin, Gentamycin
for 48 hour rule out.
6. Gastrointestinal: Defects as noted above. Patient on NG
decompression.
7. Routine health care maintenance: The patient has
received Vitamin K and Ilotycin at [**Hospital1 190**]. Specimen has been sent to [**Location (un) 511**]
regional newborn screening program for newborn screening. A
repeat screening will be required at [**Hospital3 1810**].
The patient has not received hepatitis immunization. The
patient will require hearing screening prior to discharge.
Also car seat testing prior to discharge is recommended given
the patient's gestational age of 35 weeks. Patient's primary
pediatrician will be Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] [**Name (STitle) 37101**] in [**Location (un) **]. The patient
is being transferred to [**Hospital3 1810**], 7 North, under
the care of Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) 37080**] and the NICU team.

prompt tracer flow through the central circulation. IMPRESSION:
1) Normal LV wall motion. 2) Normal right and left ventricular
sizes. 3) LVEF of 55%.
CXR ([**2198-10-8**]): FINDINGS: There is a left subclavian central
venous catheter with the tip in satisfactory location in the
distal SVC. There is no pneumothorax. The cardiac and
mediastinal contours are unremarkable. The pulmonary vascularity
is normal, and the lungs are clear. No pleural effusions are
seen on this film, although the left costophrenic sulcus is not
visualized. The osseous structures and soft tissues are
unremarkable to the extent visualized.

detected. 2. Single 6-mm left upper lobe nodule. 3.
Fat-containing right inguinal hernia.
RUQ U/S ([**2198-10-22**]): IMPRESSION: Normal right upper quadrant
ultrasound examination.
BONE MARROW BIOPSY AND FLOW CYTOMETRY ([**2198-10-23**]): DIAGNOSIS:
Persistent involvement by acute myelogenous leukemia.
CT ABD ([**2198-10-26**]): IMPRESSION - 1. Limited study of the abdomen
secondary to significant patient debility as described above.
There is no intrahepatic ductal dilatation. 2. Extensive patchy
airspace opacities throughout both lungs, which given the
patient's neutropenic state could represent a diffuse widespread
pneumonia, as well as alveolar hemorrhage.
ECHO ([**2198-10-26**]): 1.The LA is mildly dilated. 2.There is mild
symmetric LV hypertrophy. The LV cavity size is normal. There is
severe global LV hypokinesis. Overall LV systolic function is
severely depressed with more marked anterior and inferior HK.

dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts.
CT CHEST ([**2198-10-31**]): IMPRESSION: 1. Interval development of
diffuse pulmonary opacities throughout both lungs in a central
distribution. This may represent pulmonary edema or a diffuse
infection. Infectious etiologies include PCP or CMV. Some areas
are nodular, which may represent a superimposed fungal infection
such as aspergillus. 2. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
ECHO ([**2198-11-6**]): The LA is mildly dilated. LV wall thicknesses
are normal. The LV cavity is moderately dilated with severe
global HK. No masses or thrombi are seen in the LV. The RV
cavity is mildly dilated with moderate free wall HK. The aortic
root is mildly dilated. The AV leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion. Mild (1+) AI is seen. The MV
appears structurally normal with trivial MR. There is no MV
prolapse. Mild (1+) MR is seen. The pulmonary artery systolic
pressure could not be estimated. There is no pericardial
effusion. Compared with the report of the prior study (tape
reviewed) of [**2198-10-26**], the LV cavity is now dilated (previous
[**Last Name (un) **] 6.0cm). The RV cavity and systolic function are similar.
CXR ([**2198-11-24**]): PORTABLE AP CHEST, ONE VIEW: Comparison
[**2198-10-31**]. Since the prior study, the left subclavian line has
been removed. There are diffuse multifocal alveolar opacities.
Differential includes multifocal pneumonia as well as asymmetric
edema. There are no large pleural effusions (left lateral CP

dilated. The ascending aorta is moderately dilated. The aortic
arch is mildly dilated. The AV leaflets are mildly thickened.
Mild (1+) AR is seen. The MV leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild
(1+) MR is seen. There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with
the prior study (tape reviewed) of [**2198-11-6**], biventricular
systolic function now appears slightly worse.
BONE MARROW BIOPSY ([**2198-11-27**]): DIAGNOSIS - Markedly hypocellular
bone marrow for age, with left-shifted granulocytic maturation
and markedly decreased erythropoiesis. Acute leukemia is not
seen.
RUQ U/S ([**2198-11-28**]): FINDINGS: Sludge is no longer seen in the
gallbladder. The gallbladder appears normal without evidence of
stones. There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal
dilatation. The liver parenchyma appears unremarkable.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname 5655**] was admitted to the [**Hospital1 18**] BMT service with acute
myelogenous leukemia (AML). He subsequently developed severe
congestive heart failure after anthracycline chemotherapy.
1) AML: The patient had a white blood cell count of 40,000 to
60,000 on admission. He was started on hydroxyurea for temporary
stabilizing measures. A bone marrow biopsy with flow cytometry
revealed acute myelogenous leukemia, with an immature phenotype.
The patient was started on [7+3] chemotherapy with cytarabine
and idarubacin. As anticipated, his cell lines dropped and the
patient soon became neutropenic. He thus had neutropenic fevers
early in his course (without any obvious source of infection).
Empiric antimicrobials and then antifungals were commenced (see
below). Approximately two weeks after his [7+3] regimen, a bone
marrow biopsy revealed persistent involvement by AML.
Re-induction chemotherapy was planned, but the patient developed
an acute decline in his repiratory status: pulmonary nodules and
then congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation were
noted. The patient's respiratory status declined to a level that
he required ICU support (see below). Upon recovery from acute
congestive heart failure, the patient returned to the BMT
service for re-induction chemotherapy with HIDAC (high-dose
cytarabine). He again became profoundly pancytopenic and
neutropenic, developing fevers and a presumptive line infection
with staph epidermidis. After two to three weeks of
pancytopenia, a repeat bone marrow biopsy was obtained because
of a concern for persistence of AML. However, the bone marrow
was relatively acellular without evidence of leukemia. The
patient was started on G-CSF and his neutrophils and other cell
lines (to a lesser degree) promptly recovered and his fevers
abatted. He required several platelet and packed red blood cell
transufusions over his course, but did not require tranfusions
over the last several days prior to discharge. On discharge, his
platelets were 74, hematocrit was 32.5, white blood cell count
of 3.4, and an absolute neutrophil count greater than 3000. He
was discharged with oncologic follow-up with Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 449**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 410**] at
[**Hospital1 18**].
2) Neutropenic Fevers: As mentioned, the patient developed
febrile neutropenia after his initial induction chemotherapy.
Initial broad-specturm choices were Cefipime, Vancomycin,
Caspofungin, and then Ambisome. After persistence of his fevers
a chest CT revealed pulmonary edema as well as bilateral nodular
opacities, concerning for aspergillosis or pneumocystis gondii
infections. Bronchoscopy was not pursued. He was continued on
anti-fungals. He was later changed from Cefipime to Meropenem.
Late in his course, he grew staph epidermidis from four of four
blood culture bottles (anaerobic and aerobic) and his Hickman
line was removed. Concominantly with Vancomycin therapy and a
rising neutrophil count, his fevers abatted and all follow-up
blood cultures were negative. The patient was discharged on two
additional weeks of Voriconazole to complete and empiric course
of antifungal therapy for his presumptive recovering lung
infection. A repeat chest CT was attempted, but the patient
could not tolerate the study because of orthopnea. Of note,
Caspofungin was changed to Voriconazole because of rising
alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin and a concern for causation;
these values decreased after the change was made.
3) CHF: As mentioned the patient had a declining respiratory
status two weeks after anthracycline therapy. Because of concern
for a pulmonary infection, a chest CT was sought, but the
patient developed acute worsening of his dyspnea, oxygen
desaturation and hemoptysis while on the CT scanner. He was
noted to have severe congestive heart failure by imaging. His
pre-chemotherapy ventriculogram revealed an LVEF of greater than
55%. Upon developing respiratory failure, his LVEF was 20% with
global wall motion depression. He was transferred to the ICU
with severe pulmonary edema. He was aggressively diuresed but
did not require intubation. The patient stabilized, and was then
transferred back to the BMT service. He was followed by
Cardiology and the CHF service. He was initially maintained on
daily IV Lasix, Beta-Blocker and Digoxin. On account of
teniously low blood pressures (systolic blood pressures to the
70s) with Lasix boluses, he was changed to a Lasix drip ([**2-16**]
mg/hr). Thereafter, he made great progress with diuresis and
held his systolic blood pressures at a level greater than 90. He
was discharged on Lasix 30 mg PO BID along with follow-up with
the CHF service. The plan was to add-on an ace-inhibitor and
aldactone when the patient's blood pressures could tolerate
these agents.
4) AF/RVR: As noted, along with his new onset CHF, the patient
developed atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response.
His atrial fibrillation persisted throughout his course and he
reached heart rates to the 170s early on. He was mainted on
beta-blocker and Digoxin as above and his heart rates ranged
from the 60's to the 100's late in his course, when his CHF was
better controlled. Anticoagulation was not initiated because of
thrombocytopenia, associated with his chemotherapy and AML.
5) NSVT: The patient had several episodes of asymptomatic NSVT
over his course. Additionally, he had one episdoe of symptomatic
NSVT of 12 beats with 3/10 chest discomfort and the sensation of
a 'racing heart.' An ECG showed no signs of ischemia. He was
continued on beta-blockade. Despite his severe heart failure, he
was not deemed a candidate for a BiV/ICD given his low platlets.
6) Hyperbilirubinemia/Elevated Alk Phos: The patient had a large
rise in these values early in his course, in conjunction with
his severe heart failure. Hepatic and biliary imaging were not
remarkable. He then again had an elevation in these values late
in his course. The etiology early in the course may have been
hepatic congestion via CHF (as there was an associated
transaminitis). Later in his course, there was no transaminits.
A repeat right upper quadrant ultra-sound was unremarkable. He
was changed from Caspofungin to Voriconazole and these values
trended downwards. On discharge, his alkaline phosphatase was
500 with a bilirubin of 1.4. The former value peaked in the
thousands while the later peaked at 6.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Syncopal episode.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 69-year-old female
with a past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, who presented to the
Emergency Department with three syncopal episodes. The
patient reported that she woke up "feeling funny" the morning
of admission and then passed out. This pattern was repeated
a total of three times while the patient remained at home.
The patient reported that before each episode, she felt as
though she was falling asleep. She thought the room may have
spinning during one episode. The patient denied chest pain,
dyspnea, vomiting, diarrhea, and visual symptoms in
relationship to the episodes. She did note heart
palpitations after regaining consciousness, and she noted
that she became diaphoretic and lightheaded.
Noticeably, on the morning of admission, the patient reports
that her blood sugar was 400 and she had a systolic blood
pressure of 200, which was extremely unusual for her. She
took her home medications including atenolol and presented to
the Emergency Department.
In the ED, the patient had four more syncopal episodes.
Telemetry during these episodes revealed complete heart block
with an atrial rate in the 60s and 70s. There was no
ventricular response for up to nine seconds during these
episodes. At other times, the patient had a [**2-6**] block, but
at other times was in [**1-6**] block with a heart rate of 90. A
right internal jugular catheter was placed with a temporary
pacing wire in the Emergency Department. The patient was
then transferred to the CCU for further care with a plan for
a permanent pacemaker placement on [**2140-8-6**].

infarction by cardiac enzymes. Patient was continued on
aspirin, ACE inhibitor, and statin. Beta blocker was held on
admission.
Rhythm - Patient had episodes of complete heart block in the
Emergency Department. A temporary pacing wire was placed at
that time, and she was in normal sinus rhythm throughout
admission. On [**2140-9-6**], an ICD was placed by the
Electrophysiology service.
Pump - An echocardiogram was obtained on [**2140-9-6**]. The
echocardiogram revealed the left atrium and right atrium were
normal in size. The left ventricular wall thickness, cavity
size, and systolic function were normal with a left
ventricular ejection fraction greater than 55%. Regional
left ventricular wall motion was normal. Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion were normal. The aortic
root was mildly dilated as was the ascending aorta. The
aortic valve leaflets were structurally normal with good
leaflet excursion. There was trace aortic regurgitation.
The mitral valve appeared structurally normal with trivial
mitral regurgitation. There was mild mitral annular
calcification. The tricuspid valve appeared structurally
normal with trivial tricuspid regurgitation. There was
borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There was
no pericardial effusion.
2. Type 2 diabetes mellitus: Patient was placed on sliding
scale insulin during her stay in the Coronary Care Unit. Her
oral diabetic medications were held on admission as she was
to be NPO for the procedure, and will not be eating her
normal home diet.
3. Hypercholesterolemia: Patient was continued on her
statin.
4. Hypothyroidism: Patient had normal TSH and free T4 on
admission. She was continued on her home dose of
levothyroxine.
5. FEN: Cardiac American Diabetic Association Diet. Patient
has aggressive electrolyte repletion throughout the
admission.
DISCHARGE CONDITION: Good.

of bright red blood per rectum. The patient initially presented
to [**Hospital3 **] on [**10-3**] with diffuse chest
pressure; at that time, she was found to have an inferior MI
with 100% RCA occlusion. She received a bare metal stent to the
RCA. Following her original cath, she had ongoing dyspepsia and
was sent to [**Hospital1 2025**] for repeat catheterization on [**10-6**] which did not
show any new blockage or instent thrombosis. She was discharged
on [**10-7**] on aspirin, plavix, lopressor, and captopril.
.
This morning at about 4:30 am, the patient woke up with
abdominal cramping which is usual for her. She had one large
bowel movement with some "dark" blood per her report. Her
abdominal cramping resolved but she had [**4-27**] more dark bloody
stools. At that time, she returned to [**Hospital3 **]
where she received 1 U PRBCs and was subsequently transferred to
[**Hospital1 18**]; she requested this as she has had a 1-year history of
diarrhea and was recently referred to Dr. [**First Name4 (NamePattern1) 3613**] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) 6880**].

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 3060**] is a 55 year old male with hypertension, type II
diabetes, alcohol abuse, ESLD s/p orthotopic liver transplant in
[**6-/2137**], and severe motor vehicle accident with cervical spinal
fracture and subsequent tracheostomy and PEG tube placement in
[**8-/2145**] who was admitted to [**Hospital3 417**] Hospital from [**Hospital1 15454**] Rehabilitation Facility on [**2145-11-21**] for evaluation
of fevers. History is taking exclusively per notes. Per notes,
he spiked a fever to 104.5 degrees on the day of presentation
and was initially tachycardic and hypotensive and was initially
started on doripenem. Upon arrival to the emergency room at OSH,
he was no longer hypotensive but was persistently tachycardic.
In the emergency room his initial vitals were T: 103.8, HR 127
RR: 20 BP: 113/69 O2: 100% on ventilator. Initial WBC count was
7.3, Hct 25, creatinine 1.85, AST of 61. UA with 10-20 RBCs, [**3-10**]
WBCs. He received IVF and was admitted to the medical ICU. While
in the ICU it appears that he had a broad infectious workup.
Initial blood and urine cultures were negative. He was c. diff
negative. Sinus cultures from [**2145-11-21**] and endotracheal washings
from [**11-24**] grew acinetobacter sensitive to tobramycin, amkacin
and bactrim and he was started on amikacin from [**2145-11-21**] and
received this until [**2145-11-30**]. G-tube cultures [**2145-11-25**] with
enterobacter, enterococcus and mixed gram negative rods. He had
a non-contrast head CT which showed sinus disease but was
otherwise negative. CT of the abdomen without contrast did not
show evidence of abscess. CT chest showed a possible hazy right
sided infiltrate. Gallium scan showed uptake in areas of known
fractures and in the tracheostomy and PEG tube sites. He
continued to spike fevers as high as 106 degrees despite broad
spectrum antibiotics. He was also persistently tachycardic as
high as the 170s which they were treating with metoprolol. He
received amikacin as above, with a short period of levofloxacin
and micafungin early in his hospitalization. All antibiotics it
appears were discontinued on [**11-30**] after no fever source was
identified but he continued to spike fevers and was started on
vancomycin and cefepime on [**12-1**]. Final blood cultures from
[**11-30**] are now 4/4 bottles with gram negative rods, not yet
speciated.
Was transfered to [**Hospital1 18**] for further w/u and management

Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets 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. The
mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. No masses or
vegetations are seen on the mitral valve, but cannot be fully
excluded due to suboptimal image quality. Trivial mitral
regurgitation is seen. 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. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. No vegetations found.
Normal overall left ventricular systolic function. If clinically
suggested, the absence of a vegetation by 2D echocardiography
does not exclude endocarditis.
Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable

IMPRESSION:
1. Extensive pulmonary embolus, which is greater on the right.
2. Expected postoperative changes of aortic aneurysm repair with
no evidence of leak. Mediastinal hematoma, most likely
post-surgical.
3. New elevation of the left hemidiaphragm. No evidence of
herniation of the stomach into the thorax. However, the entire
left hemidiaphragm is not included on this study and the upper
abdomen should be included on the followup examination.
CHEST (PA & LAT) [**2120-1-29**]
IMPRESSION: PA and lateral chest compared to [**1-23**]:
Opacification at the base of the left hemithorax and leftward
mediastinal shift are stable since [**1-23**]. Most of this is
due to persistent moderate left pleural effusion, and although I
don't think there is collapse of the left lower lobe, there must
be appreciable atelectasis in order to produce left rather than
right mediastinal shift. Right lung is clear. Post-operative
cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable and unchanged.
Nasogastric tube ends in the stomach.
DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL [**2120-1-17**] IMPRESSION: Normal [**Doctor Last Name 352**] scale and
doppler evaluation of the kidneys.
CTA CHEST W&W/O C&RECONS, NON-CORONARY [**2120-1-16**] IMPRESSION:
Large thoracoabdominal aneurysm measuring 6.9 x 6.6 cm at the
widest point at the level of the left ventricle. Aneurysmal
dilatation is markedly ectatic particularly within the lower
thorax. There is no CT evidence of acute rupture.
[**2120-1-29**] 6:50 PM
ABDOMEN (SUPINE & ERECT)
THREE VIEWS OF THE ABDOMEN: Just right of the midline, in the
mid abdomen, a dilated loop of small bowel is again identified.
However, the number and degree of dilated small bowel loops is
decreased since the radiograph obtained two days prior. Air is
identified distally in the rectum. No abnormal air- fluid levels
are identified.
The lung bases demonstrate a left pleural effusion with
associated atelectasis. The left heart border is obscured,
likely by a left lower lobe consolidation. Surgical clips in the
thorax and upper abdomen are indicative of prior surgery.
Osseous structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval improvement in ileus.
2. Left pleural effusion and consolidation, likely atelectasis
alone, but superimposed infection is possible.
Brief Hospital Course:
CTA showing a large thoracoabdominal aneurysm measuring 6.9 x
6.6 cm at the widest point at the level of the left ventricle.
Aneurysmal dilatation is markedly ectatic particularly within
the lower thorax. There is no CT evidence of acute rupture.

Coumadin/Lovenox teaching.
You are being put on coumadin for clots found in your lung.
How will I be treated for this condition ?
You will receive two daily subcutaneous (underneath the skin)
injections of enoxaparin (Lovenox) for 5-7 days along with a
longer course of an oral medication called warfarin (Coumadin).
Both medications belong to a class of drugs known as
anticoagulants. Anticoagulants prevent clots.
How is enoxaparin (Lovenox) given
Enoxaparin is given subcutaneously twice daily. Many patients
can give the injections to themselves at home, and you can be
given instructions to learn how to give yourself these
injections if this is an appropriate plan for you. It is
important to give the medication exactly as directed.
When to stop enoxaparin (Lovenox)?
Your PCP will tell you when to stop enoxaparin. This is stopped
when your INR is above 2 (this is a reflection of coumadin).
When your INR is at 2, this means that you blood is thin enough
to be on coumadin alone. The level of INR when you are on
coumadin is 2-2.5.
How is warfarin (Coumadin) given?
Warfarin is given orally once daily. You will be getting regular
blood tests to measure how well this medication is working. The
dose of warfarin may be adjusted according to the results of the
blood tests.
What should I do if I miss a dose of enoxaparin or warfarin?
You should contact your PCP as soon as you notice that you have
missed a dose.
What are some of the side effects of enoxaparin?
Approximately 2% of patients may experience bleeding. Please
notify Pcp: [**Name10 (NameIs) 2227**] if you experience any of the following
symptoms:
unusual bleeding or bruising (e.g., bleeding gums, red spots on
the skin, nose bleeds), heavy menstrual bleeding blood in urine
or stool; black tarry stools back pain or stomach pain cold,
blue, or painful feet other minor side effects include skin
irritation, pain, and bruises at the injection site.
What are some of the side effects of warfarin?
Like enoxaparin the major complication of warfarin is bleeding.
Therefore, you should notify Pcp: [**Name10 (NameIs) **] you experience any of the
symptoms listed in the previous answer. Please check with your
doctor for more information on warfarin.
Should I be aware of other signs and symptoms?
You should notify PCP immediately if you experience chest pain,
shortness of breath, a feeling of passing out, or palpitation
(heart racing).
What medications do I need to avoid while on these medications?
You should avoid taking medications that contain aspirin,
medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), naproxen
(Aleve), ketoprofen (Orudis KT, Actron Caplets), or any other
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). You should
always check with your doctor before starting any new
prescription or over-the-counter medication. Moreover, alcohol
and various food may also interact with warfarin. Please check
with your doctor, nurse [**First Name (Titles) **] [**Last Name (Titles) 57**] for more information.
What other precautions do I need to take while on these
medications?
Monitor signs and symptoms of bleeding.
Be careful while brushing or flossing your teeth.
Avoid injuries.
Keep enoxaparin syringes at room temperature. Do not refrigerate
or freeze enoxaparin. Store away from heat and direct light.
Keep all medications out of the reach of children
Followup Instructions:

Date of Birth: [**2104-6-26**]
Sex: M
Service: NB
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: [**Known lastname 951**] [**Known lastname 63558**]-[**Known lastname 48716**] is the
former 2.395 kg product of a 33-3/7 week gestation pregnancy
born to a 39-year-old G5 P0 woman. The pregnancy was
conceived by in [**Last Name (un) 5153**] fertilization and complicated by
maternal paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria. The mother did not
experience any thrombotic events prior to this pregnancy. She
was treated prophylactically on Lovenox and IV heparin while
pregnant. She had signs of ongoing hemolysis with a
hematocrit in the high 20s. She was admitted 1 week prior to
delivery for labile blood pressures and hemolysis. She had a
full course of betamethasone at 30 weeks gestation. Delivery
was via cesarean section for a known breech presentation.
Rupture of membranes occurred at delivery. He emerged
vigorous and crying and received blow-by oxygen for central
cyanosis. Mild grunting was noted at 5 minutes of life. He
was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for
treatment of prematurity.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Upon admission to the neonatal
intensive care unit, weight was 2.395 kg, 75th percentile,
length of 45.5 cm, 50th-75th percentile, head circumference
of 33.5 cm, 90th percentile. General - ruddy, active,
appropriate for gestational age infant. Head, eyes, ears,
nose and throat - anterior fontanelle open and flat,
normocephalic, non-dysmorphic facial features, palate intact,
trachea midline, positive red reflex on right, unable to
visualize on the left. Chest - moderate aeration bilaterally,
mild grunting and flaring. Cardiovascular - regular rate and
rhythm, normal S1, S2, grade 2/6 systolic ejection murmur in
the left upper sternal border. Abdomen - soft, nontender,
nondistended, no hepatosplenomegaly with a 3 vessel cord. GU
- normal male, testes descended bilaterally, anus patent, no
sacral dimple. Extremities - mild right hip click, moving all
extremities, no skin fold with asymmetry. Neurological -
symmetric tone and reflexes consistent with gestational age.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY SYSTEMS INCLUDING PERTINENT LABORATORY
DATA: Respiratory: [**Known lastname 951**] required nasal cannula O2 upon
admission to the neonatal intensive care unit for cyanosis.
He weaned to room air by day of life #6 and continued in room
air until discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit. At
the time of discharge, he is breathing comfortably 40-50
breaths per minute.
Cardiovascular: [**Known lastname 951**] remained normotensive with normal heart
rates. The murmur heard on admission resolved, but then
became intermittent through the 2nd week of life. At the time
of discharge, the murmur is heard intermittently, soft,
systolic in the left upper sternal border. Blood pressures in
4 limbs have been normal. Recent baseline blood pressure is
70/34 with a mean of 48.
Fluids, Electrolytes and Nutrition: [**Known lastname 951**] was initially NPO
and treated with intravenous fluids. Enteral feeds were
started on day of life #2 and gradually advanced to full
volume. On day of life #13, he presented with bloody stools
and was made NPO. He was given 2 weeks of bowel rest and
treated with total parenteral nutrition through a
percutaneously inserted central catheter. Feeds were
reinitiated on [**2104-7-23**] and have been well tolerated. At
the time of discharge, he is taking breast milk or Enfamil 20
p.o. ad lib. Discharge weight is 2.97 kg with a length of 51
cm and a head circumference of 35 cm. Serum electrolytes were
checked in the 1st week of life and during the 2 weeks of
bowel rest and were within normal limits.
Infectious Disease: [**Known lastname 951**] was initially evaluated for sepsis
upon admission to the neonatal intensive care unit secondary
to his respiratory distress. A complete blood count was
within normal limits. A blood culture was obtained prior to
starting intravenous ampicillin and gentamicin. The blood
culture was no growth at 48 hours and the antibiotics were
discontinued. With the onset of the bloody stools and x-rays
suggestive for pneumatosis and necrotizing enterocolitis, he
was again cultured and treated for 14 days with Zosyn. The
blood culture was no growth.
Hematological: [**Known lastname 951**] is blood type A negative, Coombs
negative. His hematocrit at birth was 51%. His most recent
hematocrit was on [**2104-7-16**] at 36.9%. He did not receive
any transfusions of blood products.
Gastrointestinal: As previously mentioned, [**Known lastname 951**] was
diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis. X-rays obtained
around the time of the onset of bloody stools was suggestive
for pneumatosis. He was treated with 14 days of bowel rest
and intravenous antibiotics. The abdominal x-rays normalized
by the 3rd day into treatment and were normal prior to the re-
initiation of feeds. [**Known lastname 951**] also required treatment for
unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy. Peak serum
bilirubin was 11.4 total/0.4 direct mg/dl. He received
